Dc where donald trump appears to have launched a wide reaching Diplomatic Initiative to tackle what he says is the urgent Security Challenge posed by north korea. The president has spoken to the japanese and german leaders by phone and had is also holding a classified briefing on the subject with all 100 us senators. Mr trump also said this message to the Un Security Council. The status quo in north korea is also unacceptable and the council must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on north Korean Nuclear and Ballistic Missile programmes. This is a real threat to the world, whether we want to talk about it or not. North korea is a big World Problem and its a problem we have to finally solve. People have put blindfolds on for decades and now its time to solve the problem. President trump calling for new sanctions on north korea. This appeal was made not in new york, the un, but while the president was hosting Un Security Council ambassadors at the white house and throughout his election campaign, he has been criticised for Flip Flopping and changing his mind but he has been consistent with north korea in sending a strong message. Absolutely. He was sitting there with the 15 Security Council members. White remember his early tweet when he said it wasnt going to happen, north korea wont get a weapon. The us has been concerned that north korea could and that his programme. We have had north heard donald trump saying all options are on the table and he has sent a flotilla. What he has signalled is that he is trying to, like his predecessor, though the rout of stronger sanctions. The Security Council has been united in the past and china has banned coal imports to hurt north korea economically so we are seeing President Trump work with his allies, continue the dialogue and continue to call for even more sanctions which we hear that the bans on oil, banning north koreas airlines. Several measures that could help that. And on wednesday, the whole senate is being summoned to the white house for a briefing on north korea. Briefings arent unusual but the whole senate, that is unusual. Absolutely. 100 senators descending on the white house for that briefing by the Defence Secretary rex tillerson.

This comes as concerns in the us that north korea could be launching a sixth nuclear test in the coming days to coincide with the 85th Anniversary of its military. It is an issue that the Trump Administration has been speaking about a lot, speaking with allies again today and as we have heard, other us officials. You touched on the flotilla. After a bit of discrepancy estimates whereabouts, it is now expected to arrive off the coast of korea. Military action is definitely on the table. Allan mike pence has said within a few days it could be in the area. Mike pence.

Laughter. What i am convinced of is that although there are all kinds of issues that i care about and all kinds of issues that i intend to work on, the single most important thing i can do is to help in any way i can to prepare the next generation of leadership to take up the baton and to take their own crack of changing the world.

The attack camejust hours posed by the taliban. The attack came just hours after the Chief Of Staff resigned the announcement came after the attack. This is the route the Taliban Attackers took. The guards waved them through, believing they were fellow afghan soldiers. Were the first journalists invited onto the army base, the first to see the horror unleashed here. A Suicide Bomber blew himself up in the dining hall, as hundreds of soldiers ate their lunch. Others were mown down as they left friday prayers, the taliban shooting fellow muslims dead as they worshipped.

Afg hanistans Defence Minister and army Chief Of Staff have resigned after a devastating Taliban Attack. It is as the us Defence Secretary, james mattis, Visited Kabul. Lets take a look at some front pages from around the world. The japan times is one of many papers in the region to give prominence to the result of the french president ial election. Highlighting the success of emmanuel macron, the newspaper says the Populist Wave that swept across britain last year, before being experienced across the atlantic in the united states, may have faded on the shores of france on sunday. The front page of the South China Morning Post is dominated by a photograph of former chief executive donald tsang. Wearing his trademark bow tie, the paper reports a judge had let him out ofjail pending an appeal for against his conviction for misconduct in office. The china daily leads with president xis Telephone Conversation with donald trump on the Korean Nuclear issue. But it carries an eye catching picture of a joint patrol of chinese and Italian Police officers on the great wall, near beijing. The Paper Reports China will also be sending officers to italy in early june to help their counterparts protect chinese tourists. Now, kasia, what stories are sparking discussions online . Well, how about this story, which could solve a Mystery Dating back to the 19th century . It is all to do with this famous painting, by the norwegian artist edvard munch, called the scream. The reason for the Subject Being so terrified has long puzzled critics. But now, scientists in norway have put forward a theory about one of the other striking parts of the picture the sky. Look closely and you can see some very peculiar clouds. Well, take a look at these clouds they are known as mother of pearl clouds, which only form very rarely, high up in the skies above the north pole. They are so rare, that the scientists are suggesting the shock of seeing them could have inspired the artist to put the fearful expression on the face of the subject. Here is another look. Perhaps well let you be the judges of that particular theory. It is 25 april, anzac day. It commemorates the date that forces from the australian and new Zealand Army Corps landed at gallipoli. 11,000 anzac soldiers died during the eight month campaign, and services are being held across asia to remember those who fought in the campaign, and those who failed to return home. This years dawn service in singapore finished a few minutes ago. Lets cross live now to leisha chi at the kranji war memorial. What took place into theirs commemoration . Well, as you said, it has been more than 100 years since that bloody battle on the shores of gallipoli, and there are many commemorative services around the world. Here at singapore we are at kranji war memorial, and im joined now to find out from the new zealand High Commissioner about what went into the planning of todays event. Thank you forjoining us. It has been a century since gallipoli. What was your approach to this event . Australia had had a long history of involvement in the defence of singapore so events today are a combined effort between australian and new Zealand Defence forces and communities here getting together to recognise our war dead. It was interesting that you had a multidenominational service. That reflect the diversity of those being commemorated. They came from all parts of the world, and the service reflected that. And i can also hear a haka going on behind us, at the cemetery. Tell us about that. A haka going on behind us, at the cemetery. Tell us about Thatm A Haka Going On behind us, at the cemetery. Tell us about that. It is a maori war dance, a war commemoration, and they are doing that this morning in recognition of all those who have passed here today. Anzac day has become a national day of remembrance in both countries. It has sort of become pa rt countries. It has sort of become part of our national identity, i guess, so the haka this morning as pa rt guess, so the haka this morning as part of new Zealands National identity. It has been more than a decade since the last anzac veteran died away. So how do you make anzac day relevant to the Younger Generation . Funnily enough the attendance of anzac day has been rising over the years, and it continues to grow. I think for Young Australians and New Zealanders they recognise the sacrifices in the past for the incredible freedom we appreciate today. And as a new zealander, what does it mean personally to you . Well, i am so grateful, i guess, surrounded by all these graves, im dreadful that we live in a world where peace and security is guaranteed and my childrens generation dont have to go through the horrors that these people endured. Thank you very much for joining people endured. Thank you very much forjoining us. As you can see, it has been 102 years, but this state continues to resonate with people across the world.

Three degrees in birmingham and commentary coventry, and some showers feeding into cornwall and devon and as we go on through the day the showers will gradually become more widespread across the country.
