Its 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 7pm in the evening in washington, where the Trump Administration is giving mixed signals about its response to the latest north korea Missile Launch. President trump appeared to have dismissed the prospect of a diplomatic solution by saying that talking is not the answer. Although his defence secretary james mattis later said a diplomatic solution was still possible. For its part, north korea has warned the Missile Launch is the first step of military operations in the pacific. Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports. These are the first pictures of north koreas latest and most provocative Missile Launch. As expected, kim jong un was on hand to give his personal guidance. The north korean dictator gazes skywards as the missile flies towards japan. And along with the pictures came this statement from north koreas state media. North koreas statement shows the ultimate target of yesterdays test was not here injapan, but the us Pacific Island of guam, with its huge military bases, and that north korea intends more such tests. So what can be done to stop it . Last night in new york, the Un Security Council members, including china, were unanimous in condemning north korea. Today, the cracks have already begun to appear. From President Trump came this tweet, ruling out any prospect of talks. Here injapan, Prime Minister theresa may said china must now do something. We want to work with International Partners to see what further pressure can be brought on north korea. And of course particularly look at what china can do. In beijing, Chinas Foreign Ministry spokeswoman had this rather caustic response. Translation some countries dash forward when it comes to imposing sanctions but hide away when it comes to asking for peace talks. This is not the attitude of a responsible nation. There is growing suspicion that north korea could not have developed this new missile so fast by itself. There is also agreement that it must be stopped. But there is none on how to do it. China wants talks. The us, britain and japan, more sanctions. Meanwhile, north korea is almost certainly preparing for its next test. Rupert Wingfield Hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. More on the international we action to the crisis in north korea in a few moments. Reaction. Lets update you on the situation in texas now where the governor of the state has warned that the worst of the flooding is not yet over. Greg abbott warned that waters could continue to rise over the next week. At least 20 people are known to have died and 30,000 people are in emergency shelters. The bbcs Laura Trevelyan is in houston, where people are still being rescued from their homes. Well, there have beenjust so many rescues going on here today where i am. You can see the flooding, you can see how the homes and the cars are submerged and you may even be able to see some of the rescue boats that have been going out all day. The situation right here in this pa rt the situation right here in this part of houston where i am is they have experienced water levels still rising but thats because of control flooding thats been carried out by the authorities. The theyve been opening the dams of the reservoir outside houston to stop it overflowing. That means people here have seen more flooding, the good news about that, if they can be good news, as authorities have said it can now control the water flow but east of where im talking to you from is there have been more devastating floods in port arthur to the louisiana border and the storm itself is moving inland to louisiana, bringing yet more flooding and even threatening tennessee. The worry here now is that there will still be water is rising as the water runs off inland and the rivers break their banks yet again. Are people there, laura, getting the support they need . Well, its an emergency situation. The people who are carrying out the boat rescues ive been witnessing all day, most of them are private citizens. Ive been speaking to who have brought their boats 400 miles from southern texas because they heard the appeal for boats and they a nswered heard the appeal for boats and they answered the call. I spoke to one man whos rescued 60 people in his boat since yesterday. Theres a limit to the number of boats, the authorities have said theres a limit to what is suitable for this terrain where there is only a couple of inches of water, so its a crisis situation and the authorities are doing everything they can to keep up but the demand is huge. Theres more than 70,000 people in shelters in houston, 33,000 in texas, and the authorities are warning it to your mac could take years to recover from this. Laura trevelyan in houston in texas. As we reported yesterday severe flooding has hit the indian city of mumbai where monsoon rains has killed at least five people, including two toddlers. Its the latest place to be hit by floods in south asia during the monsoon season, which has affected millions of people across india, nepal and bangladesh. Over 1,200 people are estimated to have died. Ben rich from bbc weather explains whats going on. Rain does not fall continuously and uniformly across south asia all through the monsoon season. Instead it comes and goes. There are drier periods and then there are wetter periods. Get too many wet spells and thats when we get some significant flooding. Noticed there is another area of cloud moving into North Eastern india, bangladesh and nepal, that could exacerbate the flooding situation and we also have a area of wet weather now sliding into pakistan, there could be flash flooding for places like karachi but all the while mumbai will be drying out after an exceptionally wet last few days. Conversely its been drier over the last few days across bangladesh and nepal but the flooding has been so significant over recent weeks that a couple of drier days will not sort out the problem. Remember the big lump of cloud working in from the east, the re m na nts of cloud working in from the east, the remnants of an old Tropical Storm, that will be in hunting the rainfall in eastern india, bangladesh and nepal once again as we go through the next few days, so there is the risk of some further flooding. Tokyo has been forthright about the potential impact of brexit on its Companies Based in britain. 100 days after militants in the philippines loyal to Islamic State occupied the Southern City of marawi, president Rodrigo Duterte says the battle there has entered its final stages.

Despite recent problems, figures show the companys revenue and global bookings are up. Now terrifying pictures of a car going backwards into a river in central china. Its thought the driver accidently hit the acelerator instead of the brake. A mother and daughter amazingly suffered no serious injuries. The entire accident tookjust ii seconds and was noticed by a swimmer who along with another pedestrian pulled them out of the car. Lets get more now on the International Reaction to north korea. Paul burton is director of defence and security forjanes ihs markit. Speaking from the south korean capital seoul, he told me that the timing of this latest Missile Launch is significant. Well, i think its significant for a number of reasons. It comes off the back of a number of military exercises between the United States andjapan, and exercises between the United States and japan, and the United States and south korea. So i think what the Kim Administration is increasingly becoming adept at doing now is getting to a point where it exploits the gaps and the fissures between these allies and kind of ratchets up these allies and kind of ratchets up the tension gradually. I dont think this should be viewed as the first step on a continuum to attacking guam. Ithink step on a continuum to attacking guam. I think this has been going on all year now and perhaps even longer. Right. So whats your reaction to the us position on all options on the table, and of course President Trumps latest tweet that talking is not the answer . Well, of course theres clearly a number of different vantage points at the moment in the Us Administration and we see the president issuing tweets that other officials, such as the secretary of state for defence, tillerson, have come out and contradicted or tried to clarify in the only way rioli to establish a viable solution with north korea, through diplomacy, something that donald trump has established himself in his previous tweet. We heard the chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson of accusing other countries of hiding away when it comes to peace talks, do you think she has a point . Theres a whole range of diplomatic means available to the various actors here and i think obviously the ultimate aim is to get north korea to the table to engage in such talks. However, i dont think were at a position at the moment whereby any of the related actors can push this to the four. I think were in this tit for tat exchange of rhetoric now between washington and pyongyang which creates issues in tokyo and the overflight of the missile obviously establishes great concern with the abe administration, the new south korean president moon is more liberal and has stated from the outset of his presidency that he wa nts to outset of his presidency that he wants to bring pyongyang to the table. But its very difficult to do on this current backdrop. The british royals Princes William and harry have visited a Memorial Garden for their mother at her old home at kensington palace. The white garden is dedicated to princess dianas life and work. Thursday will mark the 20th anniversary of her death in a car crash in paris. Nicholas witchell reports. The flowers and the tributes are back at the gates of kensington palace. A very small echo of how it was 20 years ago, but a reminder of feelings which the years have not erased. And this afternoon, william and harry came to view the tributes. They took their time, they looked and they read. They laughed at some of the photographs showing them as small children with their mother. It was impossible not to be reminded of how it was 20 years ago when, aged 15 and 12, on their return to london, theyd come out, still numb and bewildered, to meet the people whod gathered there and to see for themselves the many thousands of bouquets which had been left. Dianas boys are both in their 30s now. Williams settled and about to begin full time royal duty. He was accompanied by catherine this afternoon to view a Memorial Garden to diana. And harry, not quite so settled yet, but not far off, one suspects. And both at this anniversary, one must assume, reassured by the enduring regard people feel for their mother. She gave us so much. We were so privileged to have her. She meant so much to so many people. She touched everybody and it shows by how many people are here today. William and harry took some of the flowers people had brought and placed them at the palace gates, replaying some of the moments from two decades ago and acknowledging the desire that many still have to hold onto dianas memory. Today, briefly, theyve put on their public, princely faces, to view some of the tributes. Tomorrow though, william and harry will remain in private, remembering the mother they lost in such tragic circumstances, 20 years ago. Nicolas witchell, bbc news, at kensington palace.
