In singapore and london, this is bbc world news. Its newsday. Glad you could join us. It is 7am in singapore, midnight in london and a ten injapan, singapore, midnight in london and a ten in japan, where singapore, midnight in london and a ten injapan, where they are able to sit for the first time a closer view of the missile that flew over their heads around the same time a day ago and 8am injapan. These are pictures released by north koreas central newsagency. Its not clear when they were taken the newsagency says it was in medium range, launched in a drill to counter recent military exercises by the south korean and us military. Earlier this month north korea threatened to fire four of these kinds of rockets into the sea near the us territory of guam. The agency says the launch was guided by kim jong un himself. That news came during a meeting of the Un Security Council, called to discuss the situation. Before the meeting the un ambassador to the Us Ambassador to the un said it was unacceptable and enough was enough. No country should have missiles flying over them, like those 130 Million People in japan. Flying over them, like those 130 Million People injapan. It is unacceptable and they have violated every single Un Security Council violation that we have and so i think something serious has to happen. They say the un needs to look at further strengthening of sanctions against north korea. This is what the ambassador to the un said. We can be united in condemning the actions of north korea, which is totally u na cce pta ble, actions of north korea, which is totally unacceptable, and we hope that the Security Council can find the white way to proceed in order to change the course of north korea. Joining us for the latest is our correspondent, in seoul. So the north korean to finally revealed the kind of missile that was launched overjapan on monday. It is being a wordy statement that theyve released . Thats right. The take away from that statement is that the us is very much their target. What theyve said quite significantly in theyve said quite significantly in the statement is that the rocket they launched yesterday was a prelude to containing guam. Thats a reference to the threat they made two weeks ago, firing for rockets in the waters near guam and creating a ring of fire around the us pacific territory. What theyve also said if the military unit which conducted the military unit which conducted the missile test yesterday is the one that is tasked with taking out us targets in the pacific. As you pointed out, they say the reason they conduct of that test was to counter drills conducted by the us and south Korean Forces here in this country. The very much saying the us is the reason, what they call pocket groups of south Korean Forces, but they are launching this defence mechanism from their rent. And the north Korean News Agency also says that pyongyang will be launching more rocket drills into the pacific Going Forward . Thats right. The statement also says that kim jong un house told the military that they should conduct more drills with the pacific as a target in the future, so pacific as a target in the future, so clearly an indicator of things to come. For a while it seemed the rhetoric had come down from north korea. Last week we even had donald trump saying that kim jong un has finally begun to respect us, but the statement that comes out today really shows that there is no change in the countrys aggressive stance and it wont back off any time soon. Thank you for letting us know the latest developments. Our other top story President Donald Trump has arrived in texas to assess the damage caused by Tropical Storm harvey, as floodwaters across the state continue to rise. In houston, more than 30,000 people have been forced from their homes. Mr trumps been meeting emergency workers in Corpus Christi, where the storm first hit, dumping record amounts of rain in the past few days. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports from texas. A commander in chief, determined to show that he is in command. President trump arrived in Corpus Christi this lunchtime, the city where Hurricane Harvey made landfall, and the crowds had gathered outside the fire station to hear him. Hed come to offer comfort and support. Thank you, everybody. Though it sounded more like a campaign rally. This is historic, its epic, what happened. But you know what . It happened in texas, and texas can handle anything. Thank you all, folks. Thank you, thank you. And with a flourish, he produced the flag of the lone star state. To the crowds delight. Earlier, he met the texas governor, greg abbott, and praised the co operation between state and federal government. We wont say congratulations. We dont want to do that. We dont want to congratulate. Well congratulate each other when its all finished. Contrast that with 12 years ago, and the disastrous handling of Hurricane Katrina and this utterly tone deaf comment from then president bush to his emergency relief coordinator. And, brownie, youre doing a heck of a job. The fema directors working 24. Actually, it was one heck of a mess. Nearly 2,000 people died, and in new orleans it was particularly bad. There was an evacuation, but it seemed that all those who left behind were black. President bushs reputation wouldnt recover. The response to harvey has been more sure footed, so far. Across this vast state, damage is being assessed. We went to la grange. So how far has it moved . Moved across there. So your home has moved across the street . Uhhuh. This mother, too, shows her children where their house once stood. This isjust one small town in texas, and its estimated that some 500 homes have been destroyed here. At this trailer park, you can see that particular house has been uprooted, fallen on top of a car. And if we just move across, you can see the water bubbling up from the ground. Thats because there is a cracked gas line underneath and for the emergency services, it means it is still too dangerous to investigate. Were still in the foothills of this disaster. Thousands will remain homeless for months to come. Theres an economic reckoning to be had. Will congress agree to fund the rebuilding . And the biggest question of them all, as louisiana stands next in the path, has Tropical Storm harvey done his worst, or is there more devastation to come . Jon sopel, bbc news, texas. More heavy rainfall is expected in indias Financial Capital of mumbai. More is expected. The city is already at a virtual standstill after rains flooded streets and caused transport chaos. The state chief minister has urged everyone to stay indoors. Muslims from around the world are in saudi arabia for the start of the annual hajj pilgrimage this week. Its estimated that two millions pilgrims will travel to islams holy sites of mecca and medina. Saudi Officials Say they have increased security this year, with the red crescent providing two and a half thousand aid workers and volunteers. Britain has asked for the Un Security Council to meet on wednesday to discuss the escalating violence between rohingya insurgents and Myanmar Security forces in rakhine state. Thousands of Muslim Rohingyas have fled their homes in recent days following the clashes. And theres a lot of extraordinary weather out there at the moment. This is a storm off russias black sea coast, near the resort of sochi. Not just one twister was spotted, but two or three, right next to the olympic village. And here you can see a plane flying flying right past that twister. So much for holiday weather. Bangladeshis are now one of the largest migrant groups making the dangerous crossing over the mediterranean from libya to europe. Many pay more than 10,000 to make the trip to libya, where they typically fall into the hands of people smugglers. Sanjoy majumder has travelled to the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, to investigate why there is a rush to leave. It is an exodus. Half a Million People leave bangladesh every year hoping to make their fortunes overseas. Increasingly, many are making the extremely dangerous crossing over the mediterranean to try to get to europe. Putting their lives at risk. Many of these people are headed to the gulf or the middle east, which is the preferred route for those trying to get to saddam, libya, perhaps even beyond. And when you speak to them, you get a sense that it you speak to them, you get a sense thatitis you speak to them, you get a sense that it is being driven by desperation, even though so many of these journeys end in tragedy. Last year, this man left his home and like many others he was lured with the promise of a good job. He cashed in all of his savings to pay his way. But in libya, he was sold to traffickers. They help him captive, demanding a ransom of 5,000. Translation they used to torture me. I would translation they used to torture me. Iwould not translation they used to torture me. I would not be giving any food. I was made to stand for 2h hours. They said, pay up, and then you can rest. His wife was forced to borrow money to secure his release. He is back home now, but deep in debt. For many bangladeshis, migrating abroad isa many bangladeshis, migrating abroad is a ticket out of poverty, making them prime targets for those who wa nt to them prime targets for those who want to exploit their desperation. It takes as time but we finally tracked down a trafficker who agrees to speak to us. He is part of an elaborate criminal network, organising fake documents and then escorting the migrants all the way to libya. At no point they stop or challenged. Translation my bosses are entitled officials. Its basically a syndicate. The passports dont have visas. At the airport they just take the dont have visas. At the airport theyjust take the names against a list. Sometimes they make a phone call, then we are led through. And the rush to leave bangladesh continues. There is simply not enough opportunities at home. Even though the journey ahead is fraught with risk. Youre watching newsday on the bbc.

He is the first African American to win the president ial nomination of a major party, and he accepts 45 years ago to the day that Martin Luther king declared, i have a dream. As darkness falls tonight, an unfamiliar light will appear in the south eastern sky. An orange, glowing disc that is brighter than anything save the moon our neighbouring planet mars. There is no doubt that this election is an important milestone in the birth of east timor as the worlds newest nation. It will take months, and billions of dollars, to re pair what katrina achieved injust hours. Three weeks is the longest the great clock has been off duty in 117 years, so it was with great satisfaction that clockmaker john vernon swung the pendulum to set the clock going again.

It was a little more provocative because it wasntjust out into the sea, but looked over the territory of japan. As many of you know, that is the third time since 1998 but that has happened. Given all that has happened over the last few months, it has to be taken seriously. As i understand, it was what they cool a hwajung 12. Seriously. As i understand, it was what they cool a hwajung12. It can get tojapan, what they cool a hwajung12. It can get to japan, south korea, and many places in the pacific. One of the first persons that we heard from from the pentagon, or you work for. What do you think they will do . As a work by hr mcmaster, but he has a key role in this. I hope he advises the president that we certainly dont want to be vacillating all week, but we dont want to accelerate the danger and to make things worse than they are. Or weak. Citing it is critical that we dont ramp up rhetoric or make it closer to any kind of conflict. That works against everybodys interest. So works against everybodys interest. Soi works against everybodys interest. So i think it is critical. Works against everybodys interest. So i think it is critical. When you look at the situation and what is happening over the coming days, we know the un security meeting is happening now. Youre saying that a diplomatic course is the one to follow. But we have been down that road before, havent we . Ayew we have. In road before, havent we . Ayew we have. 119811, the road before, havent we . Ayew we have. In 1984, the first framework accord was put into place. They argue with many people who make that same comment that we have had no war since 1984. The regime of kimjong unis since 1984. The regime of kimjong un is security. They want to live. The last thing they want is to have Nuclear Weapons and use them, or unilaterally attacked anyone become as they know that will bring a possibly fatal response against them. But he does want to sound tough and brash and make clear in his military lodges that he has the ability to do something if we should launch an offensive strike. So it is important that we dont make him feel like he is backed into a corner 01 feel like he is backed into a corner or has to use this. What we want to do is to initiate conversation. Does that with the soviets in the cold war, and earlier with china, deterrence is perfectly valid, then. They pose a much greater threat to United States and north and we were able to successfully navigate that. So we need to follow what has exceeded in the past, and not get too a situation where we have preventative war, because that will spawn what we are trying to avoid. And there are so many people there would be killed in such an event that we absolutely need to see this is the last thing that we try to do. Thank you very much were joining us. Many of us would find it difficult to skydive from a plane. So think for a moment about doing it while playing a violin and wearing nothing at all. That is exactly what our next guest Glen Donnelly has done. Glen took the plunge over the city of Coffs Harbour on australias east coast, to raise awareness about body image issues among men. Before we talk to glen, lets take a look at him in action. Im happy to say he joins us im happy to say hejoins us now from sydney. Fully closed, too. Thank you forjoining us. Great to have you with us. Clothed. Had you get to the point where you thought this was something he wanted to do . I started off as a classical violinist in australia. And i went overseas to london to study. And i had a very successful career. But from the age of 16, i started feeling bad about my body, and started feeling shame about my stomach, and started sucking again. And after ten years, my default state of my stomach was just a clenched in state. And i didnt tell anyone about it for ten years. And my career reached a breaking point. Soi my career reached a breaking point. So i came back to australia in 2013 and decided to do something about my body, and it turns out that male body, and it turns out that male body image is actually anything. And males dont talk about it. Is actually a thing. People think it is actually a thing. People think it is a female issue. But men get it to. I met a story that shows how bad it can get. So what i like to talk about. So with this skyjump, just wearing a harness, not wearing anything, and playing violin. Wearing a harness, not wearing anything, and playing violinlj discovered nudity as a radical way to a cce pt discovered nudity as a radical way to accept my body. You know . My anxieties were so bad that i had to literally take that leap of faith and said out to make comfort zone step outside my comfort zone and accept my body. Skydiving was a perfect thing to tell that story and tell people, hague, step through your i , naked . So with this skyjump, just wearing a harness, not wearing anything, and playing violin.
