It has been a week of heated words between the us and north korea. Today was no exception. President trump warned kim jong un that he would truly regret it if he took action against the us or its allies. It comes after tweeting earlier that americas Military Solutions were Locked And Loaded if pyongyang were to act. But other International Leaders are calling for calm and a Dialling Down of the rhetoric. Germanys chancellor, angela merkel, said there was no Military Solution, while the Russian Foreign minister, sergei lavrov, put forward a plan between the two countries to ease tensions. Nick bryant reports. After fire and fury comes Locked And Loaded. Not the title of some hollywood summer blockbuster, but the words of americas commander in chief, describing his countrys state of military readiness. These are the latest pictures of b 1 bombers stationed in guam. The motto of this squadron fight tonight. President trump reminded people of that on his twitter feed this morning. He is deploying social media to fire off warning salvos. And again tonight, he ramped up the rhetoric even further, with this verbal broadside aimed at the north korean leader. This man will not get away with what hes doing, believe me. And if he utters one threat, in the form of an overt threat, which by the way he has been uttering for years, and his family has been uttering for years, or if he does anything with respect to guam, or anyplace else thats an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it, and he will regret it fast. As the government of japan deployed Missile Interceptors to guard against north korean rockets, International Leaders essentially told both sides to cool it. Translation i believe that. Im firmly convinced that an escalation of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict. Translation when a fight has nearly broken out, the first step away from that dangerous threshold should be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter. Amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it has emerged the Trump Administration has been secretly talking to north korea about americans in prison there and deteriorating relations. The news came as americas Defence Secretary emphasised diplomacy. You can see the american effort is diplomatically led, it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results. And i want to stay right there, right now. The tragedy of war is well enough known. It doesnt need another characterisation, beyond the fact that it would be catastrophic. Holiday makers on guam still seem unfazed. But, amongst the beach reading this morning, a fact sheet from the guam government warning not to look at fireballs. So how are people in the south of the peninsula reacting to crisis over pyongyangs Nuclear Ambitions . Yogita limaye, in seoul, has been finding out. Fierce reactions have come to be expected of north korea, and in the us, it now seems to be becoming a pattern. The president makes strong remarks, then of his cabinet tries to turn the message down. Now, a nalysts to turn the message down. Now, analysts i have been speaking to say that so far they dont believe that either side will act on the threats they are making. But when you are in such a heated situation, a few days ago in pyongyang there was a mass rally, a big show of strength, anti american slogans, and in that situation, when you dont have a line of communication open with north korea, even the slightest miscalculation could be dangerous. You have to remember that war can break out with a really small, you know, unfortunate accident. And that is what people are worried about. At this point i dont think they are thinking about war, on either side, but if a really unfortunate thing happens, that can trigger the war. Here in south korea, there are concerns about where all of this is heading. The countrys top Security Adviser spoke to his american counterpart this morning and during that conversation, the us has been reported to have agreed that it will not launch any pre emptive strikes north korea informing sol. On the streets of this city, people are going about their lives as normal. They are getting worried about distributed exchange that we are seeing between north korea and the us seoul. At the moment they dont see any reason to panic. In the last hour President Donald Trump spoke about the situation in north korea, saying it was very dangerous. The us leader also commented on the situation in venezuela, stating that he was considering Military Options as a response to the escalating political crisis. The pentagon has subsequently stated that the us military has not received any orders relating to venezuela from the house. In kenya, president Uhuru Kenyatta has won re election by a large margin. But, before the final tally was read out, representatives of the Opposition Party walked out in protest. They had earlier claimed the vote was rigged. But, as our africa correspondent Alastair Leithead reports, monitors say the poll was largely free and fair. Uhuru kenyattas supporters knew this was coming. Preliminary results had given their man an unassailable lead. But first, there was an electoral process to follow, and it was a lengthy one. The result from every county had to be read out, before the moment the nation had been waiting for. I wish to declare Uhuru Kenyatta as president elect. After three days of holding their breaths, kenyans have now finally had confirmation that Uhuru Kenyatta will have a second term in office, by a considerable margin. The question now is how the opposition will react in defeat, having claimed this was rigged. Would they accept this result . Will they challenge it in the courts, or will they go to the streets . Before the results were even released, the Opposition Alliance had walked out, repeating allegations the vote was rigged. I think this has been an entire charade. This is a disaster. They had run a parallel counting centre, and claimed discrepancies, that the Election Commission computer was hacked, that the vote was fraudulent. President Uhuru Kenyatta stepped up to acknowledge his victory, and spoke about unity, ten years on from the terrible ethnic post election violence. I extend the hand of partnership, knowing fully well that this country needs all of us pulling together in order for us to succeed. These were the scenes in the stronghold of the losing candidate, raila odinga, in Western Kenya earlier in the day. A lengthy stand off with police. There have already been a few clashes in the slums of nairobi. The fear is these ugly if isolated protests could spread, if the opposition decides to call its people out on the streets. Tonight, kenya is Still Holding its breath.

Kenyas Electoral Commission has announced that Uhuru Kenyatta has been re elected as president. The opposition has rejected the result, complaining of fraud. Eggs from european poultry farms, containing traces of insecticide, have now been found in nearly 20 countries. They have been contaminated with the pesticide fipronil, which can damage the kidney, liver and thyroid gland. The European Commissioner for food safety is calling for high level talks to tackle the problem, and has called for an end to countries blaming and shaming each other. Here is our europe correspondent damian grammaticas. The netherlands is europes biggest producer of eggs, but now millions of chickens here might have to be slaughtered. Anya visschers farm has been given the all clear. The Pest Control Company that fumigates her barn didnt use the banned insecticide fipronil, but the damage to her industry has been done. All the Farmers Trust the companies who come into your barn and do their stuff. There are many rules in the netherlands, so we are thinking it is ok. And the extent of the problem is spreading. Where it started in the netherlands, belgium, germany and france, farms have had to be closed. In 11 more eu countries, fresh eggs and products made with eggs have been withdrawn from sale from the uk, ireland, poland, italy and romania. In switzerland, even as far afield as hong kong, there have been re calls, too. All this shows is how interconnected our industrial food chains are today. Belgian Authorities Say the first signs of a problem may have emerged as long ago as november in the netherlands. So there are difficult questions for European Countries why was nothing done sooner . The European Commission has called for a meeting of Member States to get to the bottom of the problem. The aim is to draw the relevant lessons and continuously improve the effectiveness of the eu system to deal with food fraud and food safety issues. Fipronil is used to kill fleas in domestic pets and is not allowed on animals entering the food chain. The amounts discovered in eggs are not harmful to humans, but prosecutors said two people have been arrested for threatening public health. Translation they mixed this forbidden product with substances that come into contact with the food chain, and they did it for their own profit. They have put Peoples Health in danger and damaged confidence in food safety. That confidence, that what we eat is safe, may be taking time to be repaired. At least, it will be months before each farm where fipronil was used can be declared safe again. 36 people have been killed after a coach crashed into a wall of a tunnel in northern china. It was travelling from the south west of Central China when it lost control. The cause of the crash is still unclear. Elle georgiou reports. 49 people were aboard this bus when it slammed into the wall of a Northern Chinese Expressway On thursday night. More than 30 of those passengers were killed on impact, among them two children. Only 13 survived the crash. The coach was travelling to chengdu city to Central China. Highways around the tunnel were blocked for hours, and vehicles diverted in the wake of the crash. It is still unclear as to what caused it. But deadly Road Accidents are common in china. Traffic regulations are often flouted or Go Unenforced by police. And overcrowded coaches are common across the country. In 2015, more than 58,000 people died on chinese roads. High speeds and aggressive driving contributing to the death toll. Local authorities will investigate how and why it happened. Dilma rousseffs impeachment from office Dilma Rousseffs removalfrom Office Almost a year ago brought little peace to brazilian politics. She was impeached for illegally manipulating government accounts, something her supporters say amounted to a soft coup. In an exclusive interview with the bbcs katy watson ms rousseff warned brazils democratic process for next years elections is under threat. It wasnt just a single it wasntjust a single clue, it was a whole process. It didnt finish the day i was removed from office, it started before when they didnt have a way to get the power through the right democratic elections. Democracy wasnt viable from their point of view. You have the opposition facing corruption charges. If the Workers Party any better . What do they accuse lula of . With temer there is video evidence. The first chapter of the coup was my impeachment but the Second Chapter is stopping president lula from the becoming a candidate for the next elections. He is a front runner. Becoming a candidate for the next elections. He is a frontrunner. Do you think that lula will be the a nswer to you think that lula will be the answer to brazils problems . Does it not need a new leader . A change . How do we know brazil needs a new leader and a change . Since when is new necessarily a good thing . New could be hitler. There is no guarantee. Why do people recognise lula . Because people live better during his government. The Workers Party has for a long time supported the government in venezuela. Just recently the head of the party said they supported the party against the violence. Whats your opinion . Maduro is ruling in extreme circumstances. We need a way out of this that isnt bloody. The vision the west has of venezuela is irresponsible. The International Press has treated venezuela absurdly. They are going to create what they did in iraq and afghanistan, here in latin america, and armed conflict. It doesnt have to keep arguing because the opposition isnt perfect it. But do you not think maduro is to blame as well . Are not going to just blame maduro. There is a conflict. Do you remember what they did to Saddam Hussein . They killed him in the most brutal way possible. When they did, all the monsters were uncovered. It opened a pandoras box. Where did isis come from . From the fact that the us thought it had a democratic position and it didnt. Its a well known fact that theres a global shortage of human organs for transplant. Pigs have long been seen as a viable source for Organ Transplants to humans, due to their size, but until now their genetic code has presented a challenge. Scientists in the us now say they have made a significant advancement in this area and Clinical Trials could possibly start in around two years time. Pioneering medical researcher Professor Robert winston has been researching the potential use of pigs organs for the past few years. He joined us a short time ago. The thing about an animal or a human heart as it is it grows with the person and of course no Mechanical Device can do that, so if you replace a heart on a child it will grow with a child. So the pig is ideal. You dont actually use a big pig. Ideal. You dont actually use a big pig, it is called a mini peak. Americans use the same kind of pig that weve been looking at. The problem has been to try to change the genes, so the organ is not affected by the Immune System of a human. There is the moral issue. Can you use animals to do this . That if we are prepared to eat animals it seems more sensible to kill them really humanely, as they will need a human anaesthetic. There must not be stressed beforehand, they need to be in perfect condition. It seems more appropriate to do that. The difficulty is viruses. I think thats been overcome. Im interested to hear they say they can do it within two years. Someone needs to do this in a short time because people are dying unnecessarily, children particularly. If youre a parent, you probably think your baby is gorgeous. But many people are convinced their babies, toddlers and children can make it as models and actors. Child model agencies around the world receive Tens Of Thousands of applications every week. And its no different in africa. But what are the requirements, pitfalls and potential monetary benefits . We went to a Child Modelling Agency injohannesburg to find out more. A lot of friends and family say he is very gorgeous and would look on camera, so me is very gorgeous and would look on camera, so me and is very gorgeous and would look on camera, so me and my is very gorgeous and would look on camera, so me and my husband gave it some zero and we said, why not . He is an energetic ooi and loves people. It is not only beauty. You have to have personality. Many times i turn away the pretty ones because they are beautiful but they cant talk and it wont help because if they do go to auditions and they are shy to producer will say, next child thank you. Sometimes it is very difficult, like the ad we did they said we must be there at 5 30am and he was a little bit cranky because it was quite cold. Sometimes it helps if you bring his favourite toy. So it will help him a lot to try to stay awake, play around. But as soon as it is now time its all off. It will be a waste of time. The ultra rich can come as well because they want their kids to gain confidence. The other side, they think, ill come today and ill retire off my child, and i often tell them its not the case. We opened up a Savings Account for him. We just store it. Opened up a Savings Account for him. Wejust store it. Whenever opened up a Savings Account for him. We just store it. Whenever he gets paid we put it on that account and when he grows up he will see it. Now, to some sport. Us athletes have broken the kenyan dominance in the womens 3,000m steeplechase at the athletics World Championships, in london. Not that the kenyans helped their cause when Beatrice Chepkoech bypassed the water jump and then had to backtrack. No such problems for american emma coburn, who kept up a fierce pace to outrun her rivals, before surging down the home straight to become the first athlete to break a championship record in the 2017 tournament. Her compatriot Courtney Frerichs recorded a personal best to take silver. The worlds oldest man has died at the age of 113 in israel.
