In the alps has become a must see attraction for tens of thousands of tourists from asia. North korea has fired two short range Ballistic Missiles early on wednesday morning. This from reports on the yonhap news agency, citing thejoint chiefs of staff of the south Korean Military. Its reported the missiles were fired from the city of wonsan, the second Missile Launch in a week. Neighbouring south korea and japan, of course, monitoring all this very closely, in case there are more to come. Lets speak now to robert kelly. Professor, great pleasure to talk to you again. Thank you for having me. 24 you again. Thank you for having me. 2a of these launches, i think. Is there particular significance in these, do you think . there particular significance in these, do you think . I think this is likely to present the Trump Administration to come forward with some kind of deal, some kind of offer. I think there has been a lot offer. I think there has been a lot of talk between the north koreans and americans for awhile now, but the americans havent really come forward with serious concrete offer, and its not enough of the north koreans and i think this is a way of needling the president in order to get something more. The is facing a tough election and he wants to make sure he stays on the road, and this isa sure he stays on the road, and this is a good way to leveraging it. What you think of the likely consequences of it . I think the americans will probably say nothing. Its in American Interest not to make a big deal of this at all. We know the Trump Administration once this process to stay on the road, we know the trump people will probably use the trump people will probably use the north korea effort as a Foreign Policy win or a Foreign Policy win or a Foreign Policy win or a Foreign Policy win in the next election, so they are open to some kind of deal. So my guess is america will probably ignore these launches and say the process is still moving. But it isnt unnerving for the neighbouring states, south korea and of course japan . Thats right. I think if youre south korea or japan, you would be concerned about the short range weapons, too. Its about putting a Nuclear Weapon on a short range weapon. This isnt discussed much in the american media, which focuses on north koreas ability to strike the united states. The north would like to see reunification with the south on its own terms. Do you see them living with a Nuclear Armed north korea . think its unlikely that north korea would ever completely denuclearise. I think theyre willing to denuclearise somewhat. They could make some sort of deal the west, with south korea, japan, wanting to return to the community in some way, they may be willing to give up some stuff. But the americans talk about com plete stuff. But the americans talk about complete the neutralisation, i think thatis complete the neutralisation, i think that is not really going to happen. They will have to use that over something significantly less. Professor, a pleasure to talk to you again. Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. Lets get some of the days other news. Health officials in the democratic republic of the congo have identified a second case of a bowler in the crowded city of goma. Ebola. Police in sudan have used tear gas to break up protests in the capital, khartoum.

Detroit is hosting the second round of primary debates for the Democratic Party in the us. Theyre spread over two nights. The first one has just finished. They will whittle down a crowded field of contenders to challenge donald trump in next years president ial election. Much attention is focused on how Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders match up against each other. On the stage note we have the two most liberal of the 2020 candidates. Bernie sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Many others, prodded by the moderators, challenge them on the left wing policies, especially when it came to healthcare. Bernie sanders has branded himself very sternly talking about his traditional talking points, but senator warren in particular landed her points with passion and clarity. The candidates were also asked about immigration, about gun control, about racism, they all agree the most important thing of course was to defeat President Trump in 2020. But they wont ask about impeachment, whether to go after him now in that way. They clashed about Foreign Policy issues such as whether they should talk to dictators, whether there should be any troops left in afghanistan. Everyone of course knew who the most progressive candidates were, but there were some lesser known candidates having a chance to make their case on the stage tonight. However, we probably wont be seeing many of them again because after this debate, the restrictions get much tighter and the field will get smaller. Barbara usher for us in detroit there. Last week, the image of a young girl clinging onto her baby sister, as they teetered several storeys high in a damaged building in syria after an airstrike, drew global attention, briefly, back to the conflict in syria. It was in idlib province, the last remaining rebel stronghold of forces opposed to president assad. In the past few months, Government Forces backed by their russian allies have stepped up attacks on the territory, and today the uns humanitarian chief, accused damascus and moscow of a scorched earth policy. Now the uncle of the girls has been speaking about what happened. Our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet has the story. One small frame, a symbol of syrias pain. 5 year old riham clutches baby sister tuka by a bit of her t shirt as she dangles on a nail. Uncle abdo, screaming for help in the rubble of a devastating air raid. And now, a few days on, speaking for the first time. Translation we could hear the jet above us. Suddenly, the glass shattered. I immediately leapt towards the door and into the thick, black smoke. I found the girl right there, where the rubble is. I heard riham shouting, uncle , but she fell as the rubble collapsed. Both girls fell to the ground that day, ending rihams little life. 7 month old tuka miraculously survived. It wasnt just their house. These are the streets of their town ariha in north west syria. An streets like this across idlib, this last province in rebel hands. Three months of ferocious bombardment by syrian and russian warplanes, condemned today at the un. What you see is a level of destruction consistent with a Bombing Campaign aimed at a scorched earth policy. Almost every building destroyed in a 3 month period. Such satellite imagery has shown 17 entire villages almost completely destroyed and emptied. At the uns top table, russias ambassador defended what he called a battle against terrorism the jihadi fighters in idlib. Translation its noble so called fighters, good, kind fighters mentioned in idlib are terrifying local civilians and using them under medical infrastructure for military purposes. They are using civilians as human shields. For everyjihadi fighter there are 100 civilians, the un says. Three million in idlib, many displaced from other battles. The story of riham and tuka is the story of so many syrians. Journalists and activists took last weeks heartstopping photos. But they wont stop this war. Translation no words can describe this feeling. In a few seconds, little girls fell from above. How many rihams does the International Community need, to move . Baby tuka was born into this war. It almost took her life, too. Her mother is dead, two of her sisters. Ii year old amina holds her close in a war never far away. Lyse doucet, bbc news. The russian leadership has launched a criminal investigation into what it calls mass unrest, last saturdays protests in moscow calling for free elections. State investigators say theyre opening three criminal cases into violence against police and other officials. Anyone found guilty could face up to 15 years injail. John mcmanus reports. Central moscow on saturday. Thousands of people take part in what was supposed to be a peaceful political protest against the exclusion of some 30 candidates from local elections. But it didnt stay peaceful for long. When they refused to disperse, riot police confronted the protesters with batons, arresting more than 1,000 people. It was the largest crackdown by Russian Police in several years. Now the russian authorities have launched criminal investigations into what they called the mass unrest, and attacks on police. Officials will look at the participants and the organisers, they say those who used social media to rally the public beforehand knew that riots might ensue. Translation they switched to active measures, trying to block roads and streets, attacking policeman, who as a result were obliged to use force. And in this situation, it was absolutely appropriate. I want to thank the police and National Guard officers. They were carrying out their duty. Anyone found guilty could face up to 15 years injail. Meanwhile, a moscow court has refused to release Opposition LeaderAlexei Navalny from jail on health grounds. He was taken from hospital to jail afterfalling ill, his supporters suspect he was poisoned. We believe that the toxic agent could have been administered through a pillow or through pillowcase while he was out during a walk. President putin often uses russias military might to bolster his strongman image. But these protests are an unpleasant reminderfor him of his plummeting Approval Ratings and the opposition have already called for more protests. John mcmanus, bbc news. 400 years ago american democracy was born in the town of jamestown, virginia. The commemoration of that historic moment was marked by protest, a mass boycott by black lawmakers who said they wouldnt attend the ceremony because of the presence of donald trump. Chris buckler has the stroy. Jamestown is regarded as a place where the foundations were laid for what would become america. The First Legislative Assembly met here 400 years ago, in what was then the colony of virginia. Right here in virginia, your predecessors. Man you cant send us back virginia is our home yet four centuries on, and invitation to the current head of National Government to come and commemorate that moment led to protests. Booing. He said you cannot send us back, a reference to recent comments by President Trump that led some to refuse invitations to this event. In the posts on twitter, he told several black and ethnic minority members of congress that they should return to the crime infested places they came from. It angered me, because i dont feel like he was just talking to those four women. He was talking to me. It says something about modern america, that some democrats are choosing to boycott an event here at whats regarded as the birthplace of this countrys democracy, because its being attended by the elected president of united states. I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world. What ive done for African Americans in 2. 5 years, no president has been able to do anything like it. But allegations of racism are particularly sensitive in jamestown. Because this summer also marks the 400 years since the first documented africans arrived on american soil, brought here as slaves, many remembering that difficult history, they felt it was appropriate for the presidency be here, even if they were critical of his recent words and attacks. Just because someone is coming, doesnt mean you can boycott. You are still celebrating the birthplace of everything and its good to come here and support just jamestown itself and the community. And democracy. And democracy in general. But on the other hand, we can understand the passionate feelings that he is not representing what this country was founded on, and the ideals that we hold dear to ourselves. Its exclusive, and its racist. And as the leader of a free country, you should do things that bring our country together. Fire injamestown, you are given a glimpse of the past. And in that history of people and democracy, there may be lessons for america today. Chris buckler, bbc news, jamestown in virginia. Stay with us on bbc news.

Lets get more on that. Here is the bbcs laura bicker in seoul. Well, i think defence chiefs here in seoul say this could be some kind of different type of missile, but theyre are still analysing the data right now. The south Korean Military have said that the missiles flew 250 km in a north easterly direction into the sea of japan, also known as the east sea here in south korea. They reached a velocity a height of 30 km. At the moment, analysts believe they are short range Ballistic Missiles. Why is this important . Because it would be a violation of at least 11 Un Security Council sanctions. Now while its not a certainly a breach of the agreement reached between kim jong un and donald trump, which was to not test medium to long range Ballistic Missiles or Nuclear Weapons, it is still seen as a threat to seoul. What message is north korea sending here, laura . Its always difficult to know what kind of message north koreas sending, but last week in state media, north korea said that it was a solemn warning, the Missile Launches last week were a solemn warning to seoul ahead of joint us south Korean Military exercises, which are due to take place injust a few weeks time. Further clashes between police and protesters in hong kong, hours after 44 people were charged with rioting. Officers used pepper spray and batons to disperse a crowd that had gathered outside a Police Station where the arrested demonstrators were being held. Some of those charged with rioting are due in court on wednesday. Here is rebecca hartmann. Hong kong is reeling from eight weeks of mass protest rallies, triggered by a controversial bill allowing extraditions to mainland china. Pepper spray from baton wielding police was again used on tuesday night, this time in an attempt to control and disperse hundreds of angry protesters gathered in front of the kwai chung Police Station. They had come here as they had heard on local radio that inside were some 44 activists charged with rioting following violent incidents at the weekend. Those under arrest face ten years injail if convicted. The first of them are scheduled to appear in court shortly. It seems a long time ago when street protests featured yellow umbrellas held in the air and christian hymn singing on the streets. Instead, the atmosphere here was punctured by projectiles thrown at police, choking gas, and angry chanting. As the crowd surged forwards, so emerged more police from inside the station, including this officer. He could be seen aiming a shotgun at protesters throwing objects from a nearby bus station, until, with his colleagues, he beat a hasty retreat. As part of frequent protests, commuters on Tuesday Morning were hit by delays to their travel. Demonstrations against the bill have evolved into a wider backlash against the citys government, and its political masters in beijing. I think my work and meeting could wait. But our freedom, safety, and human rights are taken away, and that cant wait, so im ok with it. Protesters have vowed to keep going until their core demands are met. These now include the resignation of the territorys chief executive, carrie lam, an inquiry into police tactics, an amnesty for the arrested, and the right to elect their leaders. She is known as one of the most fearless voices in entertainment. Jada Pinkett Smith makes her voice heard. She currently hosts a web chat show, red table talk, with her daughter willow smith. This is red table talk. Red table talk. Its a simple concept a chat around a red table, featuring jada Pinkett Smith, her mum, gammy, and her daughter willow. No topic is off limits. There are some celebrity guests, including her husband, actor will smith, where they have talked about their marriage. I think thats the worst ive ever felt in our marriage. Wow. I was failing miserably. The red table talk is on a new Facebook Service competing with the likes of netflix and youtube. 300 million views is extraordinary for a showjust a year old. The figure is dwarfed by some youtube programmes. But traditionaltv, however, can only dream of getting such numbers. Of course i went to traditional networks, and there were networks that wanted it. Theres something about Network Television that makes it less intimate. Wejust like to get to the table and talk. We dont want to do a whole lot of ta da you know, and i think you have to do a little bit of that for network. White people adopting black children. A topic revisited time and time again is race, everything from interracial relationships to whether white people should adopt black children. My mother comes from a whole different generation of where segregation and racism wore a different face. And then theres my generation, and then theres willows generation, so how we all relate to race is very different. Very different. You know, and the wounds are different. The 47 year old was born in baltimore, in maryland, which was just last weekend and described as a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess by President Trump a comment he has denied was racist. And althouthada acknowledges talking about skin colour can be difficult, it is a conversation she is willing to keep having. We in america have been dealing with race, all the different layers of it. You know, theres a lot of history there. Were still dealing with the repercussions of it. And i think that once we embrace that reality, we could get to the other side faster. But its happening, at its pace. The little town of hallstatt in the austrian alps has become a tourism hotspot. It is a World Heritage site. There are no more than 800 People Living there, but it gets a million tourists every year. It has become so famous that a replica of the town has been built in china. Bethany bell reports on how hallstatt is coping with all this. Hallstatt is something of an alpine dream. But here, the hills are alive with the sound of tourists and clicking smartphones. Over the last ten years, there has been a huge increase in the number of visitors here. Up to 8,000 tourists, ten times the population here, arrive every day. Many of them come from china. No one in hallstatt is really sure why this place has become such a magnet for tourists. Ten years ago, things were much quieter here. But now, it has even been cloned. In china they have built a replica of the village, complete with church and the town square. Hallstatts fame is partly due to social media, particularly in asia. Weve heard it from some apps in china, and many people recommended the place, so we came here. I come here to hallstatt for taking a picture to upload to the internet, like instagram, and my profile, and send to my family. Tourism has been great for the economy of hallstatt. Translation the advantages are that we have become financially independent. We used to be a place that people left, and we could not balance our budget, but thats changed. Now we can develop our own projects, and offer a lot to our population. But not everyone here is happy with the developments. Some locals say there are simply too many tourists. Translation we have a lot of short term visitors who swamp the place and then leave after two or three hours. That isnt so good for the people who live here. Their plan is to reduce the number of tour buses coming to hallstatt. But it seems mass tourism is here to stay. Hello. Tuesday brought a pretty destructive combination of weather to some parts of the British Isles. Across the southern counties, it was all about the strength of the wind, which downed a number of trees in a number of locations. But further north, particularly across the northern parts of yorkshire, it was the rain and thunderstorm activity brought by this area of low pressure that caused real problems, with anything up to 100 mm of rain falling in a very short space of time, hence the flooding in northern parts of yorkshire, and indeed elsewhere across the north of england. And were not done with it just yet, because that low pressure taking time to drift offshore into the north sea. A much improved day across the southern counties of england and through the midlands into wales. Fewer showers to report here, and less in the way of wind as well. But still some intensity about the showers, both in the north of england and also into the western side of scotland. As i take you from wednesday on into thursday, so that low pressure will eventually drift offshore, but the western flanks still supply a gaggle of showers into some of those western facing counties, with again the possibility of thunderstorms developing later in the afternoon across central western and North Western parts of scotland. Northern ireland faring quite decently, and again the southern counties for the most part escaping any shower activity. That trend to a spell of somewhat quieter weather will take us out of thursday, and indeed on into friday. A very weak area of High Pressure will just about kill off the remnants of the showers for most parts of the British Isles. The odd one or two couldnt be ruled out, but you get the sense, from the broader picture, that many areas will enjoy a fine day with a decent amount of sunshine and just a couple of showers left behind. With that increase in sunshine, less in the way of wind, i think we will find temperatures picking up by a degree or two. On into the weekend, and i have say there is some doubt at this stage about just how fast this atlantic frontal system will spread its cloud and rain into the western side of the British Isles. I think as a general rule, the further east you are, saturday looks to be a dry and fine affair. As one set of weather fronts gradually work their way across the British Isles, weakening probably all the while, so eventually on the latter part of sunday well bring another weather system in towards the western side of the British Isles. And again, after a fairly decent start, i think well begin to thicken the cloud, and i wouldnt rule out the possibility of another belt of rain working into the western side of the British Isles to finish off the weekend. Take care, goodbye. This is bbc news. The headlines north korea has launched two short range Ballistic Missiles from the hodo peninsula on its east coast.
