Tonight more questions about how the royal family invest their millions. The latest revelations from the Paradise Papers, the cache of leaked documents about tax havens, show that Prince Charless private estate, the duchy of cornwall, secretly invested in an offshore company in which a close friend was a director. That is perfectly legal, but he has been accused of a conflict of interest because he went on to campaign for International Rule changes that would have benefited the company.

There, where those signs are, a couple of hundred yards, its not an easy place forjournalists to go. Particularly when the subject of our investigation is the son of the president and someone very close to him. Hello. Accidents happen in government. People slip on banana skins. There are momentary lapses, or arguments that spill into the public domain. Events can catch cabinets by surprise. Thats normal. At a rate of one every few months. But then theres this government. Since the election knocked the confidence out of the Prime Ministerfive months ago, to many it has just lurched from one self inflicted wound to another. Public arguments over brexit are half of it, the harassment cases have piled on the pressure. But the coincidence of extra missteps has given this government a whiff of decay. And youre not meant to have that until youve been in power for a decade or more. Two particular things are exercising many mps right now. The foreign secretary giving the unhelpful impression th

But he warned he hoped to god he did not have to use the us military against pyongyang. Our correspondent, mark lowen report from seoul. Backing the man they say can stop north koreas march to war. Supporters of donald trump out in seoul today, defending his hardline approach to the norths weapons tests. Its a kind of a warning to kimjong un and his regime. If you do wrong things, youre going to be destroyed. But across the road, the other side, fearing mr trumps bombastic talk over north korea. Passions and divisions accompanying him on this trip. Threatening north korea, its not the answer. We have to make them talk around the table, and we have to talk about it. These people say that, when donald trump fires off a tweet storm or a tirade against kim jong un from the other side of the world, it is seoul, 30 miles from the north korean border, that is made to feel vulnerable.

Of south korea and reassured them of the strength of the two countries 60 year old alliance. He contrasted south koreas progress and Strong Economy with the hunger filled prison state that he said existed in the north. He again called on pyongyang to give up its nuclear and missile programme, which he said is putting north korea in mortal danger. Lets listen to part of that speech. History is filled with discarded regimes that have foolishly tested americas resolve. Anyone who doubts the strength of determination of the United States should look to our past and you will doubt it no more. We will not permit america or our allies to be blackmailed or attacked. We will not allow American Cities to be threatened with destruction. We will not be intimidated and we will not let the worst atrocities in history be repeated here on this ground we fought and died so hard to secure.
