:00:00. > :00:21.A show of strength from Nicolas Maduro.

:00:22. > :00:24.After the UN votes for new sanctions, China urges

:00:25. > :00:27.North Korea to get smart and stop its nuclear missile tests.

:00:28. > :00:31.A warning that too much time online is as bad for children as junk food.

:00:32. > :00:39.American runner Justin Gatlin receives his gold medal in the 100m

:00:40. > :01:04.Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says the army has successfully

:01:05. > :01:07.foiled what he says was a 'terror' plot in the country's third

:01:08. > :01:13.The uprising comes two days after Venezuela's controversial -

:01:14. > :01:16.and internationally condemned - new assembly was inaugurated.

:01:17. > :01:19.A group of men in military uniform who led the uprising

:01:20. > :01:22.released this video online - In it they say they wanted

:01:23. > :01:27.Hundreds of anti-government protesters also took

:01:28. > :01:32.to the streets of Valencia - supporting the uprising.

:01:33. > :01:34.They were met with rounds of tear gas when they tried

:01:35. > :01:43.Then, hours later, in a televised address and surrounded

:01:44. > :01:44.by his supporters Maduro congratulated his armed services.

:01:45. > :01:46.I've been speaking with Michael Shifter

:01:47. > :01:48.from the Inter-American Dialogue think-tank, to hear what he makes

:01:49. > :01:57.of this alleged "terror attack" in Valencia.

:01:58. > :02:06.Certainly sounds plausible. We know there is enormous discontent in the

:02:07. > :02:10.country with the Maduro government. That is also reflected in the Armed

:02:11. > :02:14.Forces. It doesn't mean the Armed Forces are about to switch or there

:02:15. > :02:19.is going to be a coup, it is very hard to know what this really

:02:20. > :02:24.represents, but the fact that this discontent, and there are some

:02:25. > :02:30.uprisings and rebellions, I think is not surprising given the situation

:02:31. > :02:38.in the country. How great is president and Europe's support in

:02:39. > :02:44.the military -- President Maduro's support? He has 20% support. Senior

:02:45. > :02:50.officials have stuck with him. Many of them are part of this system

:02:51. > :02:56.which was created by Hugo Chavez back in 1999. They are committed to

:02:57. > :03:02.it. They obeyed the president of the country and there is also an

:03:03. > :03:07.enormous amount of corruption. Many are involved in drug trafficking, so

:03:08. > :03:11.they have vested interests in this government and it will be difficult

:03:12. > :03:16.for them to give up power. If they do so they will be concerned about

:03:17. > :03:21.prosecution so they tighten their grip. Another development is the

:03:22. > :03:25.chief prosecutor has been removed from office. Do you think this is a

:03:26. > :03:30.sign of things to come? I think it is part of a pattern we have seen

:03:31. > :03:38.already in Venezuela, and it is getting worse. It is intensifying.

:03:39. > :03:43.Any potential defiance or dissent to the Maduro government is going to be

:03:44. > :03:49.quashed. The national assembly itself which was elected in 2015,

:03:50. > :03:52.and dominated by the opposition, has been essentially neutered, and with

:03:53. > :04:00.this new assembly that has been created this week, there is a very

:04:01. > :04:03.good chance that that legitimate aquatic assembly will be dissolved.

:04:04. > :04:08.The Attorney General had been critical of the Maduro government

:04:09. > :04:12.and it is not surprising that she has been dismissed by this new

:04:13. > :04:16.constituent assembly which is unconstitutional. Michael Shifter.

:04:17. > :04:18.China's Foreign Minister, has urged North Korea,

:04:19. > :04:20.to end ballistic missile tests, that have raised tensions

:04:21. > :04:23.Wang Yi says Pyongyang has to make "smart decisions".

:04:24. > :04:26.New sanctions, agreed at the UN, and supported by the Trump

:04:27. > :04:29.administration, could cost Pyongyang more than 1 billion dollars a year.

:04:30. > :04:35.Yogita Limaye reports from the South Korean capital, Seoul.

:04:36. > :04:49.America wants more countries to isolate North Korea,

:04:50. > :04:52.a day after all members of the Security Council voted to ban

:04:53. > :05:03.The sweeping measures were even backed by China, North Korea's ally

:05:04. > :05:08.TRANSLATION: The Chinese side urged the North Koreans to calmly handle

:05:09. > :05:10.the UN Security Council resolutions and not do anything

:05:11. > :05:20.unbeneficial such as a missile launch or a nuclear test.

:05:21. > :05:22.At this meeting, the two leaders described the sanctions

:05:23. > :05:34.Testing missiles like this one is what prompted the sanctions.

:05:35. > :05:37.For North Korea the new sanctions could mean a loss

:05:38. > :05:43.But experts say it is unlikely to deter the state.

:05:44. > :05:46.The North Koreans are unlikely to negotiate anything

:05:47. > :05:51.until they will have a proven capability to deliver

:05:52. > :05:55.a nuclear strike to the continental United States.

:05:56. > :05:58.Once they get such a capability, probably in a few years,

:05:59. > :06:07.Here in Seoul the President's office has welcomed the UN resolution

:06:08. > :06:11.but the response in North Korea has been expectedly belligerent.

:06:12. > :06:15.A newspaper run by the country's ruling party said the US would be

:06:16. > :06:18.catapulted into a sea of fire if it did not change its hostile

:06:19. > :06:23.In Manila, the US Secretary of State commemorated those

:06:24. > :06:26.who died in World War II, and with his meetings

:06:27. > :06:30.there he hopes to contain the threat from North Korea.

:06:31. > :06:33.It is making America nervous, but there seems to be

:06:34. > :06:43.Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

:06:44. > :06:45.Officials in Afghanistan say insurgent have attacked a village

:06:46. > :06:48.in the northern province of Sar-e-Pul, killing

:06:49. > :06:53.The office of the provincial governor says the fighters initially

:06:54. > :06:56.attacked a local police checkpoint, before entering the village

:06:57. > :07:02.They were mostly members of the mainly-Shia Hazara community.

:07:03. > :07:04.The Taliban said they'd killed 28 local militia

:07:05. > :07:10.but denied responsibility for any civilian deaths.

:07:11. > :07:13.The Qatari news network Al Jazeera is to be barred from Israel.

:07:14. > :07:16.Israeli communications minister, Ayoub Kara, says he'll

:07:17. > :07:19.revoke its press credentials, close its Jerusalem bureau and stop

:07:20. > :07:25.He's accusing Al Jazeera of supporting terrorism and inciting

:07:26. > :07:37.A government-backed investigation in Myanmar has rejected allegations

:07:38. > :07:39.that its military committed atrocities during a crackdown

:07:40. > :07:43.It accused the United Nations of making exaggerated claims.

:07:44. > :07:47.The UN had argued that violence in Rakhine State likely included

:07:48. > :07:52.Let's take a closer look at claims and counter-claims

:07:53. > :09:08.For more on this I spoke to Myint Swe from the BBC's Burmese Service.

:09:09. > :09:14.He explained the findings of the government's report.

:09:15. > :09:19.Today the government commission, which has enquired into this

:09:20. > :09:22.problem, they just have a total refusal of what the UN

:09:23. > :09:30.Last February, the UN said to us, they could be ethnic cleansing

:09:31. > :09:36.and crimes against humanity, so they said there is no

:09:37. > :09:43.evidence to support that, so they refused totally,

:09:44. > :09:48.and most of the reports are biased and unfounded.

:09:49. > :09:53.They said they are mostly fabricated and exaggerated.

:09:54. > :09:56.In the face of everything the United Nations has said

:09:57. > :10:00.and other outside groups have said, what the commission

:10:01. > :10:02.is saying is going to lack credibility, isn't it?

:10:03. > :10:07.In fact, they said they went to three camps of Rohingya

:10:08. > :10:12.in Bangladesh and went to 20 villages, but there is also

:10:13. > :10:18.the question, how independent and free the villagers can

:10:19. > :10:23.keep their findings, because they are surrounded maybe

:10:24. > :10:29.by some authorities, so in effect, they did go

:10:30. > :10:34.and research the camps, but there are also questions of how

:10:35. > :10:41.This complete refusal to accept the UN's findings,

:10:42. > :10:44.what is it going to do for Myanmar's international reputation,

:10:45. > :10:51.In fact, they have always said that there are three other

:10:52. > :11:00.commissions, led by others, and we have this, Kofi Annan

:11:01. > :11:05.is on the advisory board, and there is also the National Human

:11:06. > :11:09.Rights Commission inside the country.

:11:10. > :11:12.So based on their findings and conclusions, they will, sort of,

:11:13. > :11:17.open the door for any complaints, if there is enough evidence

:11:18. > :11:21.to charge and take action, whether that be security

:11:22. > :11:30.So they said there's no way to give pressure from the UN or other

:11:31. > :11:34.international organisations to send a fact-finding mission,

:11:35. > :11:45.Now, how often do you tell your children to get

:11:46. > :11:49.Well, officials here in Britain are saying that parents should limit

:11:50. > :11:52.the amount of time their children spend online, comparing it

:11:53. > :11:58.The Children's Commissioner says that the internet can be addictive,

:11:59. > :12:00.and overuse can have a detrimental effect on children's

:12:01. > :12:16.This seven-year-old is obsessed by his dad's phone.

:12:17. > :12:34.On average children now spend 15 hours a week online.

:12:35. > :12:36.Parents, says the Children's Commissioner for England,

:12:37. > :12:43.We wouldn't let our children out in a strange city

:12:44. > :12:45.without giving them guidance and looking after them.

:12:46. > :12:48.And actually we shouldn't for their digital world either.

:12:49. > :12:51.So this is about equipping children, enabling them to have the confidence

:12:52. > :12:57.And also their confidence to say no to the constant drain and pressure

:12:58. > :13:03.She is urging parents to follow Fiona and be proactive.

:13:04. > :13:06.I'm always looking in, going through history, things like that.

:13:07. > :13:09.Just to double check what they are looking at.

:13:10. > :13:12.Because they could open something that they shouldn't be looking at.

:13:13. > :13:18.New guidelines, published online, of course, compare junk food

:13:19. > :13:23.The advice is simple, just as your children shouldn't eat

:13:24. > :13:26.a cheese burger and chips every day, they shouldn't binge

:13:27. > :13:33.The obvious antidote, keeping kids active,

:13:34. > :13:36.but the Children's Commissioner is calling for a healthy balance.

:13:37. > :13:42.It is a tricky balance, I think, but you do need to encourage that

:13:43. > :13:45.they've got to get some fresh air, they've got to get some exercise.

:13:46. > :13:50.No iPad at dinner time and no phones during times when we are sitting

:13:51. > :13:53.together as families means we talk a lot more and I get

:13:54. > :13:57.to know a lot more about what happens in their school.

:13:58. > :14:00.Kids only know a world with smartphones and the internet,

:14:01. > :14:16.Well, Sonia Livingstone is a professor of social psychology at

:14:17. > :14:21.the London School of economics and also serves on the executive board

:14:22. > :14:27.on the UK Council for Child Internet safety. She joins me now via webcam.

:14:28. > :14:34.So Internet use is like junk food. Is that a good comparison? Yes and

:14:35. > :14:39.no. I think perhaps what the children's commissioner really wants

:14:40. > :14:45.us to think about is the balance of our children's diet, rather than to

:14:46. > :14:49.say all Internet use is junk food, because obviously the Internet

:14:50. > :14:56.offers lots of positives as well as some risks of problematic use. I

:14:57. > :15:01.think it is about saying think about the mix of the activities your

:15:02. > :15:05.children engage in rather than saying too much Internet is

:15:06. > :15:11.automatically bad. You say overuse. I wonder if you would put a number

:15:12. > :15:17.of hours in the day that marks over use for you? Actually, I wouldn't. I

:15:18. > :15:21.understand parent's anxiety. The Internet is relatively new. It is

:15:22. > :15:27.quite uncertain what is good for children or not and it Israeli hard

:15:28. > :15:30.to make a rule to fit all children. What I would rather say is don't

:15:31. > :15:35.look at your watch, don't check the time, look at your child. Is your

:15:36. > :15:39.child happy or suitable? Are they learning something they are keen to

:15:40. > :15:44.tell you about from the Internet, or are they staring and have forgotten

:15:45. > :15:48.the outside world exists. Are they sociable and want to share the

:15:49. > :15:53.things? Look at your child, don't look at your watch. Where does the

:15:54. > :15:58.Internet fit within their day and within their life, because children

:15:59. > :16:02.are so different, and what we really want, I think, is to support

:16:03. > :16:07.children making decisions about what is beneficial for them and where

:16:08. > :16:12.they can gain something and where it is that the Internet is distracting

:16:13. > :16:18.them from other valuable activities, which sometimes it does for us as

:16:19. > :16:23.well as for them. It can be hard because we are encouraged to keep on

:16:24. > :16:29.clicking and stay online. Do you think the social media companies

:16:30. > :16:34.should be doing more? I think you could take account of the fact that

:16:35. > :16:38.children from young ages are using the Internet for good reasons, to

:16:39. > :16:45.learn, engage and communicate, but if they could find ways to design

:16:46. > :16:51.points where families might stop and think, do I want to carry on or do I

:16:52. > :16:57.want to do something else now? Have I had enough? Am I still thinking,

:16:58. > :17:02.feeling, excited, creative and positive or am I turning into a

:17:03. > :17:05.zombie? Of course, they design that environment and their interest in

:17:06. > :17:10.the short term is to keep children engaged for as long as they possibly

:17:11. > :17:17.can. But I think in the long-term, they want children to stay there.

:17:18. > :17:20.They don't want the parents to stay... We have to leave it there

:17:21. > :17:25.but thank you for making good use of your Internet.

:17:26. > :17:28.Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come...

:17:29. > :17:36.A lukewarm reaction to Justin Gatlin as he receives a gold medal. We

:17:37. > :19:01.discuss his controversial win. The crisis in Venezuela. A group of

:19:02. > :19:05.soldiers say they have launched an uprising in the city of Valencia.

:19:06. > :19:08.The government says it was an attack and it has been crushed by the army.

:19:09. > :19:17.After all the headlines on the men's 100 metres,

:19:18. > :19:20.it's now the turn of the women at the World Athletics

:19:21. > :19:23.Elaine Thompson is hoping to restore Jamaican pride -

:19:24. > :19:25.after Usain Bolt's third place finish -

:19:26. > :19:29.Already settled - the men's marathon - Geoffrey Kiroo

:19:30. > :19:32.following up his Boston marathon win to take gold in London

:19:33. > :19:35.one minute, 22 seconds ahead of his Ethiopian rival,

:19:36. > :19:43.Tanzania's Alphonse Simbu took the bronze.

:19:44. > :19:45.The women's marathon has finished, too -

:19:46. > :19:50.South Africa's Wayde van Niekirk is celebrating success in the men's

:19:51. > :20:06.The women's heptathlon has just finished.

:20:07. > :20:08.Earlier, Justin Gatlin received his gold medal

:20:09. > :20:12.But Sebastian Coe, the president of the Athletics

:20:13. > :20:14.world governing body, says he's disappointed that

:20:15. > :20:18.The American has twice served a doping ban.

:20:19. > :20:22.He was booed by sections of the crowd as he stood on the podium.

:20:23. > :20:25.Gatlin pulled off a shock win to end Usain Bolt's reign in the

:20:26. > :20:29.Jamaican's final individual race.

:20:30. > :20:33.The Netherlands have been crowned champions of Europe

:20:34. > :20:35.after beating Denmark 4-2 to win the Women's Euros.

:20:36. > :20:39.The hosts found themselves behind just six minutes in

:20:40. > :20:46.as Nadia Nadim gave Denmark a lead with a penalty.

:20:47. > :20:48.But the Netherlands, cheered on by a full stadium

:20:49. > :20:51.Vivianne Miedema levelled before Lieke Martens finished

:20:52. > :20:55.from just inside the area to give the Dutch a 2-1 lead.

:20:56. > :20:57.Before half-time, it was all square again,

:20:58. > :20:59.Denmark fighting back through Pernille Harder.

:21:00. > :21:01.But the Netherlands took control after the break,

:21:02. > :21:05.Sherida Spitse's low free-kick restoring the lead.

:21:06. > :21:07.In the final minutes, with Denmark desperate,

:21:08. > :21:13.Miedema sealed it with her second of the game.

:21:14. > :21:15.The Dutch ran out 4-2 winners, claiming the title for

:21:16. > :21:19.Arsenal have English football's first silverware of the season.

:21:20. > :21:21.The FA Cup winners beat the champions, Chelsea

:21:22. > :21:24.to win the FA Community Shield at Wembley.

:21:25. > :21:27.It was Chelsea who took the lead, though, Victor Moses beating

:21:28. > :21:30.the offside trap and firing past Peter Cech.

:21:31. > :21:32.Then Pedro was sent off for a late tackle

:21:33. > :21:37.Arsenal immediately took advantage of the extra man,

:21:38. > :21:42.new signing Sead Kolasinac scoring just two minutes after the red card.

:21:43. > :21:50.Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with Chelsea's second kick -

:21:51. > :21:52.he fired it too high - over the bar.

:21:53. > :21:53.Substitute Olivier Giroud scored the winner.

:21:54. > :22:04.To cricket now, and day three of the fourth and final Test

:22:05. > :22:07.England lead South Africa by 360 runs.

:22:08. > :22:09.Play finished early for the day because of rain.

:22:10. > :22:13.It took England less than one hour to bowl out the tourists for 226,

:22:14. > :22:18.Captain Joe Root made 49 before he was bowled.

:22:19. > :22:20.Moeen Ali resumes on 67, assuming good Monday morning

:22:21. > :22:22.weather in Manchester, as England try to wrap

:22:23. > :22:28.There's a full round-up in Sport Today in

:22:29. > :22:48.America's Justin Gatlin has been crowned world 100 metres champion

:22:49. > :22:51.He was booed by some in the crowd upon

:22:52. > :22:54.It was slightly more subdued than when he actually won

:22:55. > :23:14.Justin Gatlin. Usain Bolt in third. Joining me is Alan Abrahamson who

:23:15. > :23:19.has written defending the sprinter. Do you think it was fair, the

:23:20. > :23:25.building? Absolutely not. Thanks for having me. I think the building is

:23:26. > :23:31.somewhere between disappointing and somewhat reprehensible. Olympic

:23:32. > :23:37.sport is not the English Premier League. It is not the NBA or the

:23:38. > :23:40.NFL. Olympic sport is supposed to be about three key values, friendship,

:23:41. > :23:46.excellent and respect and that booing was not about any of those

:23:47. > :23:51.things. Sebastien Coe, the president of the International athletics

:23:52. > :23:55.Association federations, said beforehand the idea of Gatlin

:23:56. > :24:00.beating Bolt made him feel queasy. Can you understand why there is

:24:01. > :24:08.anger at this win. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion

:24:09. > :24:16.but I think this narrative is built, it is false. This good versus evil

:24:17. > :24:21.thing is a fixture. Justin Gatlin served two times off but he never

:24:22. > :24:28.intended to cheat. In our world, in what you do and what I do, facts

:24:29. > :24:34.matter. What would be helpful is if people took time to get past a cheap

:24:35. > :24:38.and easy good versus evil narrative and paid attention to the facts.

:24:39. > :24:45.Justin Gatlin never intended to cheat. That is a matter in the

:24:46. > :24:51.record for the record. He is now 35 years old. He had a long period away

:24:52. > :24:58.from competition. Just how has he managed to achieve this feat? A

:24:59. > :25:03.remarkable time there beating Usain Bolt. What is his secret at that

:25:04. > :25:08.age? There is no secret, it is hard work. Eight months or more of

:25:09. > :25:12.training, six hours a day with a crew in Florida under the direction

:25:13. > :25:18.of Dennis Mitchell. There is no secret. It is really, really hard

:25:19. > :25:23.work and by the way, he got lane eight in that race and he was

:25:24. > :25:26.allowed to run his own race while Christian Coleman and Usain Bolt

:25:27. > :25:31.were kind of consumed with each other. Justin Gatlin was out there

:25:32. > :25:36.free and easy like Wayde Van Niekerk ran in lane eight at the youth

:25:37. > :25:41.Olympics lasted and ran a world record in the 400 metres. Sometimes

:25:42. > :25:48.fate has its own mind. All right, thank you, we appreciate your time.
