Johanna konta, one of the favourites for us open, is knocked out in the first round by the unseeded serb, aleksandra krunic. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. North korea has fired a missile over northern japan, in a move japans Prime Minister, shinzo abe, described as unprecedented threat to his country. The communist state has conducted a flurry of missile tests recently, but this is the first time it has fired what is thought to be a ballistic weapon overjapan the missile landed in the pacific. The Un Security Council is due to hold an emergency meeting President Trump said in the last hour all options or on the table. The Un Security Council is due to hold an emergency meeting in response. 0ur correspondent, Yogita Limaye is in the south korean capital, seoul. Thanks, over the past ten days, it seemed the rhetoric had abate the after that tense war of words we say between washington and pyongyang. What its done today in north korea shows it is clear there is no i think tension of backing off the the Missile Launch is seen as serious intentions herement siren a warning that a north Korean Missile has just flown over the country. This is what many injapan woke up to on tuesday morning. A rocket launch from near pyongyang flew over the Northern Island of hokkaido, before breaking into parts and landing in the sea about a thousand kilometres from the coast. The range is shorter than this Intercontinental Missile north korea tested injuly, but the latest launch more dangerous in many ways because it passed over japan and had the potential to cause serious harm. The countrys Prime Minister described it as an outrageous act and an unprecedented threat. It left the people of his nation worried. Translation i cant imagine what would actually happen if anything from the missile falls onto us and im scared. Translation despite sanctions being imposed, north korea keeps developing missiles and firing them overand overagain. This is a dreadful situation. Hours after the Missile Launch, japanese troops conducted drills at a us base near tokyo. Such joint exercises with American Forces are also underway in south korea. They are preparations for an attack from the north and pyongyang often uses them to justify its actions. Here in south korea, president moonjae in has ordered his military to display overwhelming force against north korea. Its a strong statement from a leader who, for weeks, has advocated dialogue as a way out of this crisis, but this time pyongyang seems to have gone too far and south korea also wants to respond with a show of strength. Four south korean fighter jets staged live bombing drills, practising how they could attack the north korean leadership. An attempt to display military might, but despite the strong tactics from both sides, many believe that the Korean Peninsula is not on the brink of war. Despite all of the rhetoric, the bloodcurdling rhetoric that we hear, we have not seen things such as the mobilisation of forces. Moving assets into the region. North korea and south korea calling up reservists. Preparing logistics chains and bringing resources into the region. Evacuating civilians. But north koreas missile tests continue to provoke, despite sanctions and international condemnation. The world seems to have run out of ideas on how to stop them. Weve had some word from north korea. Although he didntify the latest missile test, the countrys ambassador to the un blaked the us saying it has pushed the Korean Peninsula and justified his country saying they are right in taking tough Counter Terror measures. Weve heard from china, a key player in this region, that country too has partly blamed the us for whats happened today. Thank you. 0ur correspondent Rupert Wingfield hayes is in tokyo. With heard shinzo abe describe this as outrageous. What more reaction is there there . Rupert . Well, theres been widespread consternation from the public, particularly people in northern japan who woke up to this though morning. This is, as far as i can tell, the first time in living memory an air raid sirens went off injapanfor memory an air raid sirens went off in japan for real memory an air raid sirens went off injapan for real and people have been told to find shelter. It is a big shock for people in that area. People here, political analysts, said this is political. It is still about politics. This is north korean brinkmanship. When you live underneath the missile threat as we do here now, thats not much consolation. People injapan people very vulnerable. Because of that, the japanese government will have to make a tough response. It will want to see the United States make a tough response. The danger is whatever the North Koreans are trying to signal, everybody now is going to feel compelled to act tougher. Rupert wingfieldhayes, thank you in tokyo. Tropical storm harvey has turned roads into rivers in americas fourth largest city, houston in texas. 30 inches of rain has fallen, and forecasters warn more is on the way. Its estimated that 450,000 people will need help, and 30,000 people are likely to require Emergency Shelter. President trump has promised swift action and is visiting the state today.

At least nine are reported to have died in the houston area. The authorities have been explaining why they decided not to evacuate the city. If6. 5 why they decided not to evacuate the city. If 6. 5 Million People had gotten on our roads without a plan, what happened the last time when people were evacuated from the city of houston . About 100 people lost their lives. Heres the gator moving along. One woman recorded two alligators swimming in her back garden. Not too far from just climbing on into the backyard and getting right here to the patio. This school was turned into an Emergency Shelter after harvey became the more powerful hurricane to hit texas in over 50 years. President trump will travel to texas to view things first hand. It has 110w to view things first hand. It has now been described as a tropical storm. It is an historic amount of water. Theres never been anything like it. The people are handling it amazingly well. The people much texas, as you know, have really persevered. In houston, forecasts suggest some areas in and around the city could see up to inches of rain today, about 30 cms. In dallas, a mega shelters been prepared for evacuees. Volunteers have been setting up camp beds and cots. You have to go through something where you have lost everything in your life and moved away from your home and go through that trauma, you just need to be loved. It is heartbreaking to see the women and children in such need. I wouldnt feel right to be sitting at home when i can help. Estimates suggest the flooding could destroy up to 20 billion in insured properties making it one of the costliest storms in us history. 0ur north america correspondent Laura Trevelyan is in houston in texas. Whats happening there . Jane, im speaking to you from the banks of colorado river. We are not on the coast of texas, we are way inland. Look at the river behind me. It is flooded to historic levels. In this small town of smith ville homes have been evacuated. Theres a centre for evacuees. This is a micro cos much of whats happening across the region. In houston last night over 9,000 people had to sleep in the Convention Centre there because that has been so hard hit. The storm now has been so hard hit. The storm now has gone out into the gulf of mexico, but there is every possibility tomorrow it may take another swing in the direction of houston which has already endured so much. All of this is over in louisiana, the neighbouring state. There are already evacuations underway. Theyre there are already evacuations underway. They re expecting there are already evacuations underway. Theyre expecting 7 11 inches of rain. President trump is coming to texas to see the relief operations. Hes very aware of the importance to appear president sial and unifying in this trauma here in texas listed companies will, from next year, have to reveal the pay ratio between bosses and workers. It is part of a sear yes, sir of reforms to the way firms are run. It has run into criticism from people who say there should be much stronger measures to curb boardroom pgy the Prime Minister has attacked excessive ex tech tiff pay. The Prime Minister has attacked excessive extech tiff pay. The reputation of business as a whole in recent yea rs reputation of business as a whole in recent years has been bruised. When a minority of businesses and business figures appear to gain the system and work to a different set of rules. Im putting you on warning, this cant go on anymore. A change has to come and this party is going to make it. Last year, the chief executives of the 100 Biggest Companies list in the london were paid an average of £4. 5 million, 12 9 times of the salary of an average british worker. A chief executive can makea british worker. A chief executive can make a years salary in less than three days. When boards are setting pay and when theyre disclosing pay, they shouldnt do it just with an eye on pay in the board but they should look at pay across the company and be prepared to set out publicly how they can justify boardroom pay in the context of the pay the rest of the workforce get. The proposals have been welcomed by the accountants who report Company Figures to shareholders. Anything which will boost transparency around this area and make people understand better how Companies Run and the say different stakeholders can have and the potential for making a difference is vitaly important. But the reforms can be confusing. Charlie mayfield was recently paid just over £1 million. 73 times the ampling pay of non management staff. The former us head of investment bang Michael Sherwood was paid 45 times as much as the highly paid employees who average over 45,000 each. The the problems with pay seem to be with Big Companies and if you look at the Historical Performance who perform the least. They have lobbying power to resist this stuff. But the political impetus does seem to be growing for change. In todays reforms, theres no sign of a previous promise of annual binding votes by shareholders op directors pgy votes by shareholders op Directors Pay. The pay votes by shareholders op Directors Pay the pay gap votes by shareholders op Directors Pay. The pay gap between directors and employees will become more obvious than ever. It is less obvious than ever. It is less obvious how that gap might shrink. The president of the european commission, jean claude juncker, has said none of the brexit position papers published by the uk government are satisfactory, and there is still an enormous amount to be settled before talks about a trade deal can begin. His comments come during the latest round of brexit talks in brussels. 0ur correspondent adam fleming is there. What does this tell us about how negotiations are going . Jane, yet more evidence, if more was needed, there is frustration on both sides around this process. President s juncker, the boss of the european commission, the organisation running these talks on the eus side has criticised the governments homework saying its position papers were not satisfactory which will rangle with the Civil Servants who spent a year writing them. He said things will stick to the eu timetable of settling brexit related issues first before talking about trade and the future relationship which will annoy david davis who wants to do both at the same time. There are disagreements about things on the table. 0n the rights of eu citizens in the uk after brexit, the eu wants them overseen by the British Court ofjustice. 0n the issue how much money the eu is owed by the uk, the eu wants to talk about numbers and commitments, the uk will call into question whether they are even allowed to be asked to pay any money at all. That is where we are. Adam fleming, thank you in brussels.

The Queensferry Crossing was lit up last night in a special show, to mark the formal handover of the new bridge to the scottish government. It will open to traffic tomorrow, joining the forth road and rail bridges connecting edinburgh and fife. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon is there. This is one of the busiest transport arteries in scotland, people who use the other bridges here or who live in the communities on this stretch have watched with interest as the Queensferry Crossing has risen up out of the waters of the fourth and up out of the waters of the fourth and up into the sky and now the uks tallest bridge is on the verge, finally, of opening. Lighting up scotlands latest bridge. The Queensferry Crossing in the spotlight before opening to drivers for the first time. In its own right, it is a feat of design, engineering and construction. In its own right, it is absolutely amazing. It is in every sense, in every way, an amazing achievement. The scale of this construction is impressive. Its the longest bridge of its kind in the world and this is a chance for some of the many thousands who worked on it to celebrate its completion. Whata night, eh . I know, fantastic. Its the end of a long journey but its been a wonderfuljourney. Stressfuljourney but the most rewarding job ive ever been on and ive been on many a bridge. These guys have put a lot of work into this place. In years to come, there will be grandchildren of mine saying, my grandad worked on that. Thats what i want. There are now Three Bridges across this stretch of the forth, the legacy of the generations of workers who built them. For some, the story of these crossings, stretching back three centuries, is part of their familys history. My great grandad worked on the forth rail bridge, my grandad worked on the forth road bridge and i worked on the Queensferry Crossing. Three bridges, three centuries, all special in their own way. Which is your favourite and why . Definitely the Queensferry Crossing because it feels most like my bridge. Are you chuffed . After seeing it all come together, im fair away with it. I am proud to have been working on the bridge. Those who travel this busy route have had to contend with plenty of roadworks as the new bridge has taken shape. So what can they expect tomorrow . There have been miles of cones out there for a long time now, while the bridge was under construction. There will be a 40mph limit. Im sure people want to see what the bridge looks like. We ask people to drive carefully, keep their eyes on the road. For now, its all about admiring the view. Tomorrow, a chance for all to enjoy the journey across this latest bridge over the forth. There is a lot of symbolism surrounding the Queensferry Crossing, next monday the queen will officially open the new bridge exactly 53 years after she opened the forth road bridge, before that 51,000 people who won tickets in the public ballot will get to cross the Queensferry Crossing in what is described as a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thank you very much. Today was meant to see Waterloo Station in london get back to normal, after nearly a month of disruption because of engineering works. But rush Hour Services on several lines into britains Busiest Railway station were cancelled, amid signalling problems. The head of network rail has apologised to passengers. 0ur correspondent dan johnson reports. The train now arriving at waterloo is delayed and crowded. Again. And thats one of the better services. Some passengers waited ages for trains that never arrived, others got on board only to find they were being taken to a different station. They are getting used to this, after a miserable month of disruption. But this morning was supposed to be different. Im not surprised, lets face it. Weve all been saying we were sure it would be overrunning. So i had to get a train to canning street, walk from canning street to bank, get the tube from bank to waterloo and now i am waiting for a train to kingston. Improvement is good but yeah, its a bit annoying. Network rails orange army took over waterloo at the start of august, under a huge project to extend the platform is so longer trains can deliver more passengers through the countrys busiest station. But important safety checks on new signals took longer than expected, hitting the post bank holiday commute. The station is much quieter at this time of year which is why they do the engineering over the summer, but still a departure board which reads delayed, delayed, cancelled, delayed does not look good for network rail after weeks of disruption. So this morning they were here to say sorry. We reopened the station following the most complex and significant engineering project that has taken place at this station in almost a century. There were some delays to the service this morning and thats due to some overrunning work we were doing on the signalling, but we hope to get a normal service back the passengers by this afternoons peak. People will say this is a huge project, three and a half weeks of disruption, how could it be allowed to overrun . A project like this is extremely complicated and we have had a thousand people working round the clock 24 hours a day seven days a week for the last three and a half weeks to deliver it. Problems could carry on here this afternoon and different Engineering Projects mean some other london stations are closed this week. Waterloo faces further upgrade work in the next few months. Building a Better Railway isnt cheap and its far from simple. Dan johnson, bbc news, at Waterloo Station. Despite the endless adverts and the annoying phone calls, the Financial Conduct Authority says fewer than half of people who were mis sold payment protection insurance, or ppi, have claimed compensation. The regulator is launching its own Advertising Campaign to encourage people to act, before the deadline in two years time. 0ur personal finance reporter Kevin Peachey has more. Both were prolific in the 905. Payment protection insurance. And arnold schwarzenegger. Surprise now the actor is the head of a campaign by the financial regulator. Come on explaining that compensation claims will be terminated in two years time. After the 29th of august 2019 you will no longer be able to make a ppi complaint. Bye byes for the ppi. Quite. Ppi was designed to cover loan repayments if policyholders fell ill or lost theirjobs. It was mis sold to people like eddie. He fought a three year battle to get his money back. First offer that they gave was £2. 86, whereas the actual amount they ended up paying me was a four figure sum. I had an account with this bank from when i was a little kid, i had my Home Insurance with them, i had my mortgage with them, i had pretty much everything with them and obviously i dont have that any more because there is a definite distrust between me and the bank i was with. Eddies were among the 64 million policies sold in the uk, not all of which were mis sold. So far 12 Million People have claimed a total of £27 billion in compensation. Banks have set aside more than £37 billion to pay people back. A lot of our work over the last few years has shown that this was in fact mis sold on an industrial scale. So however those numbers go, we think there are millions of people out there who are probably still owed thousands of pounds. The two year deadline will encourage victims to make a claim, which they can do themselves and forfree. But it also means more of these, Text Messages and calls from claims Management Companies who will offer to do the paperwork but take a cut of up to one third of any pay out. Claims Companies Say without them many would not seek compensation at all. Consumer groups want it to be easier to claim yourself. Thats a good boy. Either way, with billions available in refunds, its still well short of what arnie might call a total recall. Come on Kevin Peachey, bbc news. There could be a thrilling finish in store to the 2nd cricket test, with england and the west indies both chasing victory at headingley. West indies began the day requiring 322 to win and level the series while englands bowlers needed 10 wickets on the final day. At lunch, the west indies are 86 2. From headingley, heres patrick gearey. At headingley, they take their heroes seriously, preserving forever the heads and headlines of famous cricketing men of york, but would this be the day leeds saw a lancastrian make history . The only thing dull about this test match has been this morning s weather but poorjimmy anderson these conditions are perfect as he looks to become just the sixth bowler to take 500 test wickets. Anderson does some of his best work in the murk. It allows him to move the ball, to deceive the batsmen, to ask the question. Not out. Not yet. His bowling partner, stuart broad, should have removed kraigg brathwaite. Alastair cook rarely misses these. This test keeps surprising us. Few expected the west indies to bat with the care and attention they have. Their opening pair got through a hazardous first half hour, but as the clock struck 12, broad struck first. Kieran powell caught ben stokes. Getting out is neverfun, but it is rarely so frustrating as what happened to kyle hope. As bowler broad tried to catch brathwaite, he inadvertently deflected the ball to the stumps, condemning kyle. The windies could only watch. Hope runout, helpless. This west indies team had been proving people wrong all test long. There is no sign of surrender. A match that has held the attention through nearly four and half engrossing days continues to offer something for everyone.
