To agree a way forward to address the crisis surrounding north korea. The Us Ambassador to the United Nations, accusing pyongyang of begging for war, said the us did not want conflict, but its patience was not unlimited. Chinas un representative called for a return to negotiations, to avoid chaos on the Korean Peninsula. Yogita limaye starts our coverage from the south korean capital, seoul. A day after north koreas most powerful nuclear test, the south displayed its might. Missiles were launched from the ground and the air. It was a test drill, south korea showing off how it could attack pyongyangs nuclear site. This is a strong reaction from a country that, for months now, has been desperately trying to avoid conflict in the Korean Peninsula. But in new york, at an Emergency Un Security Council meeting, south koreas closest ally said pyongyang seemed to be heading the other way. Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim jong un shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. Across the room, though, there was an opposing view, from a country often seen as north koreas friend. China urged a diplomatic solution. Translation china will never allow chaos and war on the peninsula. The parties concerned must strengthen their sense of urgency, take due responsibilities, play their due roles. Earlier in the day, the japanese government gave details about north koreas latest nuclear test. Translation the evidence suggests that the north conducted a Hydrogen Bomb test. The government had to conclude the test was a success. Pyongyang has successfully tested a weapon that poses a grave threat to japans security. A Hydrogen Bomb is vastly more powerful than the bomb that destroyed hiroshima, and north korea says that is what its leader is looking at here. The country has conducted six Nuclear Tests so far, but the pace has really accelerated since kimjong un came to power. The people here in south korea have dealt with the threat from the north for a long time now. But perhaps never before has a nuclear test and multiple missile tests come in such quick succession, really ratcheting up the pressure on the government here in seoul and its allies. And that means defences have to be strengthened. This is americas latest anti missile system, designed to shoot down enemy rockets. It is now being deployed in south korea, a country that continues to build up its arsenal, even as it hopes to not have to use it. Yogita limaye, bbc news. I have been speaking with our correspondent robin brant, in seoul, about south koreas latest military preparations. Weve learned that it was the south korean navy that has now conducted some live firing exercises. A statement through this countrys main news agency said this was a massive live fire drill. It didnt say exactly when it took place, but i think its safe to assume that was either late last night or early this morning. Now, that carries on from a live fire drill carried out by the army and air force yesterday. Yogita talked about that in detail in her report all designed to remind south koreans here about the defence strategy in place to try to counter any attack from the north, and also a show of strength, as well. There are plans later on in the week for ongoing military exercises, involving the us navy and the south korean navy, as well. In terms of the way forward, well, i think the most significant thing in the last few hours, overnight, is that President Trump has finally spoken on the phone with this countrys leader, moon jae in. It took a long time, 36 hours, for the men to talk. But essentially, the us has agreed to sell more weapons to south korea, and agreed, as well, to allow them to have bigger weapons here, to allow them to defend themselves. So china has called for more diplomatic efforts. Chinas ambassador to the un proposed a freeze on north koreas Nuclear Tests, in exchange for the suspension ofjoint military drills by the us and south korea. That was described as insulting by the us government. John sudworth reports now from the chinese city of dandong, lose to the border with north korea. The work goes on late into the night. From this chinese oil depot, north korea gets most of its energy, piped directly across the border. A day after the nuclear test, there is no sign of any letup. Washington is turning up the heat on china, insisting it uses its leverage to greater effect. Some of these diners agree their government could do more. I think they should do something about it, this man says. I hope there will be no more Nuclear Tests. China should take control of north korea. Then there will be peace. The chinese president , xijinping, though, is busy hosting a summit of the worlds developing economies. Two of them happen to be key trading partners with, and old allies of, north korea. And chinas focus remains, as always, on a return to dialogue, not on military threats. Translation having a war on the Korean Peninsula is not an option. While the rest of the world ponders the risks of thermonuclear war, chinese citizens enjoying the nightlife here on the frontier with north korea dont appear too concerned. Chinas view has always been that trade and engagement are far preferable to the chaos and instability that would come with the collapse of its isolated neighbour. So goods continue to flow across this bridge. But. , if china can live with north koreas provocative actions, for others it is harder to stomach. There is even the possibility that south korea and japan might consider developing their own nuclear weapons, which certainly will worsen chinas security environment. So north Koreas Nuclear programme greatly undermines chinas security interests. China could simply turn off the tap. But for now, with north korea on the brink of becoming a fully fledged nuclear power, the oil from these storage tanks continues to flow.

Syrias six year civil war has left more than 300,000 dead. This is what is left of raqqa, after fierce fighting. Speaking last week, the un said conditions in both cities are extremely difficult for trapped civilians. There needs to be a way of getting them out. Those who want to flee need to be able to do so in safety. Secondly, what were saying is everything then has to be done in accordance with international law, to protect the civilians who remain. The syrian army, backed by russian airstrikes, says it has reached the edge of deir al zour. The loss of the city will leave is with only a handful of isolated outposts in syria.

Hurricane irma is bearing down on the caribbean and the southern united states. Florida has declared a state of emergency. The uns special representative on human rights in myanmar has criticised the elected leader, aung san suu kyi, for failing to protect thousands of rohingya muslims, who are fleeing a military crackdown. The Un Refugee Agency says their two camps in the coxs bazaar district are now at saturation point. From there, Sanjoy Majumder sent this report. She is just two days old, and completely oblivious to the mayhem outside. Her parents are rohingyas, forced out of their homes in myanmar when their village was attacked, allegedly by the army. The babys mother was in herfinal stages of pregnancy when they made the strenuous journey across the border to bangladesh. Translation we fled and crossed the river by boat and then came here. We were very scared about what the military would do to us. After coming here, we heard that our house has been burnt down. Do you think youll never be able to take your baby back home, back to myanmar . Translation everyone has left, theres no one there, we cannot go back. Home is now this vast refugee camp, where they live cheek byjowl with thousands of rohingyas. Many of them are eating their first proper meal in days. Just four days ago, there was nothing here, it was just the side of a hill with a clump of trees on it. But now look at it its a vast settlement, a temporary home for all the Rohingya Refugees whove come over from myanmar and have nowhere to go. And even this place is going to reach its limit in a few days. Bangladesh is now struggling to cope with the growing influx of rohingyas hundreds streaming in by the hour, and more waiting to follow. This is what set off the exodus. Satellite images obtained by Human Rights Watch show entire villages burnt down inside myanmar. Fresh smoke could be seen again today billowing into the sky, apparently from houses that were torched. More than 400 rohingyas have been killed in ten days the worst violence in a generation. The houses are burned and fired, and at the same time, there are atrocities and intimidations in different forms. As it is occurring in myanmar, so we can presume that who is doing this. It is hard to independently verify the situation. Access is severely restricted. But in the refugee camps, it is apparent that the rohingyas are here to stay, and the next generation may never get to know their homeland. The philippines isnt short of problems. Among the challenges, the Fastest Growing hiv rate in asia pacific, according to a un report. Now an anti hiv drug, prep, is being offered to gay men and transgender women as part of a trial to curb the spread of the disease. I heard about prep, i knew i had to get it. I was really, really wanted to be involved in the project. I am a 30 year old young professional, very sexually active, and risky, as well. I first read about prep online. I was excited because before the philippines, prep is offered in thailand already. And it would be very expensive for me to go to thailand and purchase prep, because you have to be there. Otherwise, you get it on the black market, and i wouldnt do that. The stigma attached to accessing condoms is pretty much real. Even just buying it in the Convenience Store it. You can get stares, even from the cashier. She would have that look, and condoms are supposed to be over the counter. You can just get it, buy it, and thats it. You cantjust buy it, you have to ask for it. We are a very conservative society. We are very catholic. It should be available to everyone who feels the need to have it. I have right now i have a lot of friends right now who are asking me about how to get prep, my friends from everywhere in the philippines. Its just really not available yet for everyone. We have to wait for two years for it to be recommended to the government, and lets see what they will do about it. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, there will be a dramatic decline in the number of hiv cases here. The colombian government and the countrys second largest rebel group, the eln, have agreed a temporary bilateral ceasefire for the first time. It is due to start on octoberi and run for 102 days, but the president has said it may be extended if there are no violations and if peace talks make progress. In two days time, pope francis visits colombia. She broke barriers by becoming the first transgender model in a Cosmetics Campaign for loreal. But then Munroe Bergdorf was fired because of a Facebook Post calling all white people racist. Bergdorf says she wrote the post in response to events in charlottesville. She told the bbc she stands by what she wrote, but they were taken out of context. I didnt delete it, facebook deleted it because once i posted it, it was drenched with alt right supporters and people going at each other. In the post, i was extremely angry and frustrated i think we all were about the charlottesville attacks, about heather dying and just the fact that racism exists and were not really doing anything to counter writ. I dont think people really understand what modern day racism is. So im talking about all white people benefit from white privilege. White privilege filters in well, stems from white supremacy. It stems from a society that was put in place and built to benefit white people above any other race. Race doesnt actually exist, its a made up thing. But the lighter your skin tone, the more privileges youll be afforded. For instance, im a light skinned woman. Ill have a lot more social privilege than say a dark skinned black woman. Its just the way that it works. I did write two bookends to that original quote which actually talked about what people can do if they want to help, if they want to help end racism, but obviously it was taken out of context, and all people saw was the angry middle bit. I dont think ive thrown it away, i think loreal threw it away. I think they had the opportunity to actually talk about why we need diversity and talk about why racism actually exists in the first place because that is all i did, i didnt throw anything away. They cant hire somebody and then expect them to keep their mouth shut when it comes to inconvenient truths. Munroe bergdorf there. In a statement, loreal says it supports diversity and tolerance towards all people irrespective of their race, background, gender and religion gender and religion. The true match campaign is a representation of these values and we are proud of the diversity of the ambassadors who represent this campaign. We believe that the recent comments by Munroe Bergdorf are at odds with those values, and as such we have taken the decision to end the partnership with her. The duke and duchess of cambridge are expecting their third child. The duchess is again suffering from severe morning sickness, as she has with her previous pregnancies. Our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, reports. The duchess of cambridge last week, with her husband and prince harry. No hint then of the announcement of a third baby for william and catherine. Kensington palace was forced to disclose the pregnancy this morning because the duchess had had to pull out of a Public Engagement because of acute morning sickness, the condition she experienced for both her previous pregnancies. Shes now resting at kensington palace. According to the statement, the queen opening the Queensferry Crossing near edinburgh this morning and other members of the royal family are delighted with the news. The baby will be the queens sixth great grandchild and will be fifth in line of succession to the throne. Its more than four years now since the birth of prince george, injuly 2013. This is an important week for him he is due to start at his new school in london, something his mother certainly wont want to miss. The couples second child, princess charlotte, was born in may 2015. Shes fourth in the line of succession and she will retain that position even if the new baby is a boy. On a visit by the cambridges to poland a few weeks ago, catherine joked about having another baby when she was presented with a gift intended for a baby. It didnt seem significant at the time. Today, prince harry said he was delighted at the prospect of being an uncle again. Fantastic, great. Very, very happy for them. And hows your sister in law doing . Er. I havent seen herfor a while, but i think shes ok. The news that theres to be a third child for the cambridges comes just as william is beginning full time royal duties.
