Is recruiters were trying to direct would be attackers a year before westminster and London Bridge. And Lewis Hamilton wins the italian grand prix, spoiling the ferrari party at their home race. Good evening. Tensions over north Koreas Nuclear programme increased dramatically today after it carried out its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date. And most powerful it claimed to have detonated a Hydrogen Bomb capable of being mounted on an intercontinental missile. In the last couple of hours, the us defence secretary has said a threat to the United States will be met with a massive military response. Will be met with a massive theresa may has called for urgent new sanctions to be agreed at the un. For urgent new sanctions the blast detected near the punggye ri underground test site in northwestern north korea is said by experts to have had more destructive power than the atomic bomb dropped on the japanese city of nagasaki at the end of world war ii. Well report from beijing and tokyo in a moment but first Yogita Limaye in seoul. And tokyo in a moment it was a perfect success, the newsreader declared, as she announced north korea was close to achieving its nuclear goals. Was close to achieving the country says it has detonated a Hydrogen Bomb small enough to be fitted to an intercontinental missile. This is kim jong un inspecting what north korea claims is such a device. Inspecting what north korea if true, it would mean that pyongyang is now capable of launching a Nuclear Attack on cities in the United States. This unprecedented threat prompted President Trump to say, south koreas talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. They only understand one thing, he declared. Any threat to the United States or its territories, including guam, or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. Its a strong message to south koreas president , who for months has said talking to north korea was the solution. Today he expressed outrage and disappointment. Translation north korea has made an absurd tactical mistake by committing a series of provocations such as launching icbm missiles and conducting a nuclear test which has high intentions a nuclear test which on the peninsula and is threatening world peace. It will isolate them further. Threatening world peace. South korea is most worried because it has the most to lose. And thats why even though military measures like these bombing drills are held in the face of the threat from north korea, its hard to see what further action can be taken. From north korea, its hard to see its certainly our view that none of the military options are good. The distance between north korea and seoul is very, very small. They could basically vaporise large parts of the south korean population even with conventional weapons. Parts of the south korean population here in seoul, a city that is home to tens of millions of people, we are only about 50 kilometres from the border with north korea, and at any given time, a mass of weapons is pointing in this direction. A mass of weapons is pointing and thats why rather than take a military route, the International Community has been trying to put economic pressure on pyongyang. Trying to put economic but that isnt working either. Trying to put economic and the impact of every move kim jong un makes is felt notjust in the korean peninsula, but also across the sea injapan. The pod under the belly of this Japanese Air Force jet can sniff the airfor radiation. Japanese air force jet can sniff this afternoon, it roared off towards north korea to do just that. Its less than a week since north korea fired this missile across japan. Since north korea fired this for Prime Minister abe, this is becoming an unwelcome routine. Translation together with the us, south korea, china and russia, japan will take determined action against north korea. North korea may now have tested a Nuclear Device that is small enough to put on top of a Ballistic Missile that could be fired at the United States, and for the government here injapan, that is very disturbing, because it raises a very troubling question. Disturbing, because it raises in future, will the United States be willing to risk one of its own cities, say for example denver, in order to protect seoul and tokyo . Denver, in order to this denver, in order to afternoon, the Us Ambassador rushed this afternoon, the Us Ambassador rushed to see japans foreign minister to reassure him. No action taken by the North Koreans will in any way deter our commitment. Japan and the us may have the military might to deter north korea, but they have few other levers to pressure pyongyang. Only one country does, and that is china. China was quite literally shaken by the blast. North Koreas Nuclear test site is only 60 miles from the border. It will have sent a diplomaticjolt, too, coming just before president xiejin ping opened this international summit. Although he made no direct reference, he warned of the challenges to world peace. On state tv, the message was more blunt, with an official statement strongly condemning the test. There can be little doubt that the government here in beijing is rattled. Once again, it has had to order emerges irradiation monitoring along the border, but despite the frustration, it may be reluctant to punish north korea too hard. China has recently been stopping cargoes of call and seafood in line with toughened un sanctions. But its biggest fear is not nuclear weapons. Its the chaos that would come with the economic colla pse that would come with the economic collapse of the impoverished state is shrouded in darkness on the other side of this river. John sudworth, bbc news, beijing. Im bbc news, beijing. Joined in the studio by our north im joined in the studio by our north america editorjon sopel. What has the us reaction been like . Was an act of extraordinary defines that we have seen from north korea. The other thing worth pointing out is that for all Donald Trumps talk of fire and fury, of us weapons being locked and loaded, that seems to have had no effect on possibly could have had no effect on possibly could have made things worse, so you have the us looking at some not very good options. Weve heard about the military solution not being great. And so you have a situation where everything will still have to go through china. So long as you have got china believing that a Nuclear North Korea is preferable to a failing state north korea, then its ha rd to failing state north korea, then its hard to see any dramatic breakthrough. So not very good options, but what are the most likely one is to be pursued by the us . We have heard the defence secretary, mattis, talking about the decisive response. We have also heard them talking about the possibility of stopping trade with any nation that is trading with north korea. That means china. That would set the Global Economy back massively if it did happen. Maybe it isa massively if it did happen. Maybe it is a way of saying to china, we are really serious about this and you have got to do something. It may be that there are back channels that are open and the chinese are hurting pressure, but as things stand, we have north korea, whose military capability is accelerated dramatically, and an american president who is saying, the time for talking is over. Thats not a happy combination. Jon sopel, thank you. Here, the brexit secretary david davis has said that the European Commission is making itself look silly by saying that talks with britain arent making progress. The eus chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, says british people need to understand the extremely serious consequences of leaving. Theresa may faces a parliamentary battle this week with the first commons debate on brexit legislation, as chris mason reports. On brexit legislation, still some way apart. On brexit legislation, the uk and the eu. On brexit legislation, david davis and Michel Barnier at last weeks talks. A huge Sticking Point is money. At last weeks talks. The divorce bill. At last weeks talks. Today, mr davis insisted the uk would not be pressured into paying more than its fair share. Would not be pressured into paying we are basically going through this very systematically, a very british way, a very pragmatic way of doing it, and of course hes finding it difficult. Way of doing it, and of course hes and he wants to put pressure on us, which is why the stance is this week in the press conference. Which is why the stance is this week bluntly, i think it looked a bit silly, because theyre plainly were things weve achieved. Silly, because theyre plainly and yes, there were spiky exchanges between the two men at thursdays news conference. Exchanges between the two men mr barnier has since spent the weekend on the banks of lake como in italy. The weekend on the banks he told the conference here he does not want to blackmail the uk, but added, there are extremely serious consequences of leaving the Single Market, and it hasnt been explained to the british people. And it hasnt been explained we intend to teach people what leaving the Single Market means. The future of europe is more important than brexit. Far more important. Important than brexit. Meanwhile, the rows about leaving the eu return here this week. The planned new law that is needed to make it happen will be discussed in the commons, and remember, the Prime Ministers parliamentary predicament is precarious. She nurses a tiny majority. Predicament is precarious. And thats why the debate on repealing this the act that took us into the eu matters so much. Labour says it will vote against the law as planned, which will eventually be stored here, unless its changed, including the option of staying in the Single Market during a transitional period after brexit. Ive been very, very clear. Period after brexit. Whilst we accept the result of the referendum, were not giving a blank cheque the government to do it in whichever way it wants, because its not in the public interest. This means any rebellion from just a handful of conservative mps would leave the Prime Minister in real trouble. Discussions on delivering brexit are getting rather blustery. Chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. Thousands of members of myanmars rohinga minority are continuing to flee across the border into neighbouring bangladesh. Across the border into theyre escaping a military crackdown after rohinga militants attacked police positions a week ago. Nearly 73,000 have fled, and human Rights Groups accuse the myanmar army of atrocities and indescriminate violence. The treatment of Myanmars Muslim minority is the biggest challenge facing leader aung san suu kyi, accused by critics of not speaking out for the persecuted minority. Accused by critics of not speaking Sanjoy Majumder has the latest from the bangladesh myanmar border. It from the bangladesh myanmar border. Is a long a| freedom. It is a long and torturous flight to freedom. The rohingya who cannot make it on their own are helped along, leaving them behind could get them killed. So they labour on, bringing with them what ever possessions they could carry. Some far too young to understand what happened. This is the mainland route through which the rohingyas are now entering bangladesh. On the other side of the mountain is myanmar, and they say they can slip in without being detected easily. But it also means that they have a steep climb through the mountains and they have to walk through the forests and wade through the streams before they can get to one of the refugee camps. But at least theyre alive. Theyve lost their homes, their villages have been burned to the ground, and many have seen their relatives murdered. Translation my brother was killed. They shot him in the chest. I couldnt even take him a proper grave. I somehow managed to bury him just buy a house, and then i left. Its hard to verify what is happening. No one is being allowed in. But fresh plumes of smoke can be seen from the bangladesh side, presumably from burning villages. Bangladesh has now relaxed its borders, and the floodgates have opened. Rohingyas are streaming in by the hundreds every hour. Thousands of others are waiting to cross over. Those who have made it our exhausted and overcome. Translation weve been on the road for four days. Our food ran out on the first night, and we havent eaten since then. But space is running out for the new arrivals. They are squeezed into camps, schools, or just arrivals. They are squeezed into camps, schools, orjust out in the open. Theirfirst hurdle camps, schools, orjust out in the open. Their first hurdle was to make it here alive. Now they have to figure out how to survive. Sanjoy majumder, bbc news, on the bangladesh border.

Themselves for the worst nhs providers, which represents the vast majority of health trusts, says at least £200 million of extra funding is needed to pay for more staff and beds. Funding is needed to pay but the department of health says the nhs is better prepared for winter this year than ever before. The chief executive of Public Relations company Bell Pottinger has resigned ahead of the publication of a report into its activities in south africa. Of a report James Henderson stood down after complaints that the firm stirred up racial tensions of behalf of president jacob zuma. Bell pottinger has accepted that elements of its campaign had been inappropriate and insensitive. Elements of its campaign had been a bbc investigation has found the so called Islamic State were secretly directing would be extremists to murder people at both London Bridge and westminster nearly a year before each attack. Recruiters pointed our undercover reporters to terror manuals which showed how best to drive a car at crowds and attack victims with knives. At crowds and attack the government says its trying to suffocate iss ability to recruit and radicalise people in the uk. To suffocate iss ability to recruit nick beake has more. To suffocate iss ability to recruit indiscriminate murder on the streets of london. Exactly the kind of attack so called Islamic State had been calling for. Our investigation reveals the group were not only inspiring such plots, but issuing directions to target both westminster and London Bridge. Last summer, our undercover reporter made contact with is recruiters active online. Reporter made contact the authorities were fully aware of our communication. After inviting us to talk on a secret messaging site, is agents pinpointed westminster, promising, if you succeed with an attack there, it would be huge and damaging. He said that this was a very good target because it was crowded with disbelievers and civilians. Target because it was crowded he told me to just kill ordinary people, and that it wouldnt require a very complicated plan. People, and that it wouldnt require with hindsight, the instructions look like a blueprint for the westminster attack eight months later. Khalid masood used a car to mow down pedestrians and then stabbed policeman to death. Pedestrians and then injuly 2016, we were also in conversation with another is handler, who had another target. In conversation with another London Bridge, he wrote. In conversation with another use truck, axe, anything. In conversation with another we were directed to terrorist guides on the so called dark web. One of them showed how to use a vehicle to kill people. The other showed how to use knives and home made bombs for maximum impact. Knives and home made there was a description of how to create a fake suicide vest, and how it can be used to stop the police from attacking you if you are standing next to civilians. The police from attacking you if you the instructions bear all the hallmarks of the carnage nearly a year later at London Bridge. A van, knives, fake suicide belts and a stash of improvised bombs. Hanif kadir, a former alqaeda fighter, now tackling radicalisation, is alarmed at how quickly encrypted communication can radicalise young britons. At that time in 2002, it still took me six to seven months. If theyd have had this kind of technology, i would. I would put my hand on my heart and i would say guaranteed within a few weeks you could have somebody so enraged with revenge, thats how they see it, that they would become a suicide bomber or a terrorist. That they would become a suicide the government has vowed to close down what it calls safe space where terrorists can both plot and recruit. I think the authorities have an unbelievably difficult task now. Have an unbelievably encrypted apps or anonymous web browsers or the dark net, these places online that are very, very difficult to properly monitor, are proliferating very quickly. Very difficult to properly monitor, and as their self declared caliphate crumbles in the middle east, is are still making the most of secret communications, determined to inspire but also direct atrocities here in the uk.
