What can we expect to hear from them . It is difficult to hear from them . It is difficult to say what further the International Community can do to try and prevent north korea from conducting more tests. It has only been about four week since fresh sections were put on north korea, to put economic rasher on it to stop. It almost seemed like north korea had backed off. We had not heard the fiery commentary from its News Agencies like we had heard in the weeks preceding. But this is a strong message from pyongyang that it has no intention to stop. We are still to hear, officially, from pyongyang, why it conducted the tests, today.

The us coastguard has rescued 3000 people, so far. Their rescued they rescued a thousand of them in the last few hours. We have seen hundreds of volunteers driving in to houston. They are towing fishing boats. They coming to help with the search and rescue efforts, because authorities very overwhelmed.

As the third round of brexit negotiations continues in brussels today, a major body representing uk manufacturers is warning britain is already facing a brain drain with skilled workers from across europe turning their backs on the country. If we have a look at a survey released this morning by the eef, it found that a quarter of manufacturers have seen a decrease in applications from eu nationals. Meanwhile, 16 have seen the number of eu nationals actually leaving their business going up. Kpmg also released its own report this week, and it predicts one million eu nationals that currently work in the uk are now considering leaving. However, the vast majority of eu nationals living in this country at the moment do consider the uk as a very or quite attractive place to work. If you look at the relationship between the two, the uk exports train and 36 billion worth of goods, while the eu sends back 376 billion. So in purely economic terms at least its going to be beneficial for both sides to get the issue of workers rights resolved sooner rather than later. We will talk about all of that in World Business report. And heres a juicy story. Australia is according to some companies in the grips of a National Orange shortage.

Day after day, overcrowded boats leave libya, destined for europe. Many of them never make it. World leaders say more cooperation is needed to stop people smugglers turning the med into a graveyard. At a summit in paris, there was a public show of unity, that the migrant crisis is is straining relationships between eu states. Translation we must all act together, from the source countries to europe and passing by the transit countries, especially libya, in order to be efficient. Its a challenge as much for the eu as for the african union. Most of the migrants are west african, fleeing war, poverty and political upheaval. African and european leaders are trying to build a new relationship, cutting migration from north africa in return foraid. The french president wa nts asylu m requests handled in libya, chad and niger. Translation i hope the support we have been waiting for a long time will come. Weve affirmed our will as libyans to fight against this plague, to ensure that the migrants be repatriated back to their countries. Back in 2015, the eu pledged 2. 1 billion to help african countries stem the flow of migrants. So far this year, nearly 120,000 have entered europe by sea.

It is part of the trip, starting with powerful symbolism when it comes to Palestinian National aspirations. The un secretary general will be laying a wreath at the tomb of the late Palestinian Leader yasser arafat. Then there will be talks of the palestinian prime. I expect time that agenda will be any attempt to repair the moribund Peace Process. And all of that after the visit last week from a senior white house delegation. In the lead up to that, concerns have been raised about the fact that donald trump had not explicitly committed himself to the two state solution. Of course, the long standing policy position of Donald Trumps predecessors. Antonio guterres on monday was emphatic about this point. He said that he had a dream of israelis and palestinians living side by side into states in peace and security. I expect we will hear more about that, despite the very significant obstacles despite the very significant o bsta cles to despite the very significant obstacles to reaching any new talks on this issue.

Something that is more than a provocation, more serious. He sends a missile overjapan. Yet, it is not provocative enough, like sending it towards guam which would warrant action by the United States. This was quite clever by kim jong un, actually. This was quite clever by kim jongun, actually. What reaction due expectancy from the International Community . There will be condemnation, more sanctions. There will be not much the us can do and thats why i say this was a carefully calibrated decision on where and how to shoot this missile. Because what can the us really do besides the normal course of action, like sanctions. Showing force with south korean government to show force. It doesnt really change the equation. What about the Un Security Council . They are due to meet today. Do you expect to hear anything new from them . They could come up with a resolution of statement that again, it is all in the ballpark of what we can do. This is kind of a problem after the rhetoric coming out of the Trump Administration where he said fire and fury, locked and loaded. Now he says north korea is not showing respect. He says a lot of things but now us is not in a position where they can do much about this. What about the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe . Why do you think they didnt do anything to intercept the missile . Because interception is a very provocative act still. You still have to think through the consequences of intercepting. I think this still helps shinzo abe because next time they can possibly try to intercept or it helps the argument that japans military needs to normalise because there is the continued threat coming from north korea. So far, we have had lots of words, comments and sanctions. What if you get will take to stop north korea . Stopping north korea from continuing with its nuclear programme, perfecting its nuclear arsenal, to be honest, i dont think there is a lot of options that the us has on the table to stop north korea from pursuing this course. Ok, sumi terry in hawaii, thank you. A nurse serving two life sentences is now facing 84 other murder cases. Niels hogel was jailed two years ago forgiving lethal injections to patients. They trusted him with their lives, but he killed patient after patient. In 2015, niels hogel was jailed for two murders. Today, Police Revealed they have evidence he killed around 90 other people in his care, and they suspect, though they cant prove, he murdered dozens more. Translation if the clues had been duly investigated at the time, even in delmenhorst hospital, then the deaths of many patients, in our opinion, could have been prevented. Hogels apparent motive to impress his hospital colleagues. He would overdose patients, triggering a heart attack, and then resuscitate them. Hard to imagine such a deadly pattern could go unnoticed. Translation the current circumstances lead to the conclusion that the former management was aware that niels h had an unlawful and deadly impact on patients.

I think everybody coming here wants to be in as long as possible. But i lost to the better player today and u nfortu nately, the better player today and unfortunately, that is how sport goes.

Its collecting anonymous detat while you play as part of the biggest dementia expert and in the world. Data. Data. One of the first things to go with dementia is our ability to navigate. The first version of this game was a Smart Phone App that gave unprecedented insight into how our sense of direction to clients with age. But making the leap into virtual reality, allows scientists to study dementia in greater detail. We at capturing 15 times more data from the vr version because we are separating where their head looks. Research is hoped that spotting unusual declines in navigation ability can be used to test for dementia in its earliest stage. One y one.

Most will have had the disease for more than a decade before their symptoms appear. 1 by one. We are trying to see if we can detect it cannot 15 years earlier. A game like this and understanding how we navigate will help us get to that much earlier diagnosis.
