Its 8am in singapore, midnight in london and 8. 30am in north korea, where pyongyang has fired an unidentified Ballistic Missile the first since mid september. South Korean MilitaryOfficials Say the missile flew east from a launch site near the capital, pyongyang. It reportedly travelled a distance of about 1000km before falling into the sea of japan. President trump told reporters the us can handle the situation and in tokyo, an emergency Cabinet Meeting will discuss the incident. Our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams is in seoul in south korea. They have done it again . Yes, rico hizon. As you said just now, this is the first test by the north korean since mid september, and it comes after this long porous in which people had started to wonder whether there was something significant in there was something significant in the fact that we had not had any missile test in such a long time. In the early hours of the morning, we gotan the early hours of the morning, we got an emphatic answer. After two months without a test, north korea is back at the top of president trumps agenda. A missile was launched a little while ago from north korea. I will only tell you that we will take care of it. This is the 23rd north Korean Missile test this year, the first since mid september. It took off in the early hours of the morning from pyongsong, north of the capital pyongyang. It flew east for about 1,000 kilometres, landing after 50 minutes in the sea ofjapan. American officials believe this was an intercontinental Ballistic Missile and say it flew higher than any previous test. In response, south korea conducted a precision Strike Missile test of its own. The bottom line is its a continued effort to build a Ballistic Missile threat that endangers world peace, Regional Peace and certainly the United States. Thank you, general. And we will take care of that situation. Thank you all very much, iappreciate it. Thank you. North koreas leader, kimjong un, has been seen in recent days visiting largely economic ventures. In the absence of fresh missile tests, observers wondered if his focus had shifted. This, it seems, was wishful thinking. Here in seoul, the president has convened a meeting of his National Security council. Most experts still think that north korea needs two to three years to complete its Nuclear Weapons programme, but yesterday a government minister said he wouldnt be surprised if kim jong un finished the job within the next year. North korea he said was developing its Nuclear Weapons much faster than anyone expected. The United States has stepped up pressure on north korea throughout the year. Military exercises the most visible sign of Donald Trumps uncompromising approach. Officials believe the pressure is making life harder for the north Korean Leader but kim jong un seems determined to achieve his Nuclear Ambitions and unwilling to talk in the meantime. Plenty of reaction here in the region. Shinzo abe, japans Prime Minister calling for a meeting of the Un Security Council. In the last hour or the Un Security Council. In the last hourorso, we the Un Security Council. In the last hour or so, we have been hearing from the korean president , moon jae in, and he has said that this is a reckless provocation. He has accused north korea of military adventurism. He said that peace with the north would not be possible u nless the north would not be possible unless this stops. I think what is alarming these people is the fact that it was at this high trajectory, suggesting to those experts that the, almost the entire continental us, that they could be within range of the intercontinental Ballistic Missile. That is not yet saying that they have the ability to deliver a Nuclear Warhead to the continental United States, and that is still the better this Nuclear Programme that is yet to be completed. But as the unification minister in south korea said yesterday, he said it is possible that final leg, putting an effective Nuclear Warhead on top of an effective middle to stick missile, that is something that they could complete in the next 12 months oi could complete in the next 12 months or 0. Could complete in the next 12 months oi so. could complete in the next 12 months or so. Plastic missile. These launches continue despite the sanctions, try getting involved, donald trump declaring north korea a sponsor donald trump declaring north korea a sponsor of terrorism. Let us as sta ke of . Sponsor of terrorism. Let us as stake of . Ballistic missile. South korean officials have said that they have seen evidence that it is making life difficult for the regime in the yen. The other thing, of course, is that diplomacy does not seem to be working, either. There was that a high level chinese visit to pyongyang week or so ago, in which it was hoped that he would discuss with kim jong un the nuclear issue. There is no evidence that the two men met all had the opportunity to have those important discussions. So the moment, i think most people that kim jong un is so the moment, i think most people that kimjong un is intent on reaching that definitive final stage of this Nuclear Programme before he is ready to return to the negotiating table, and of course, that raises the prospect of the possibility that the next time he says he is willing to talk on that you may be the owner of a true nuclear weapon, deliverable to most parts of the world. Paul adamsjoining us paul adams joining us from paul adamsjoining us from seoul. They give for the update. Lets take a look at some of the days other news. In august, pope francis called the rohingyas his brothers and sisters as he condemned their persecution. On tuesday he urged myanmar to respect human rights, justice and different ethnicities but stopped short of using the word rohingya hed been warned it could spark further violence. From myanmar, Martin Bashir has the latest. 0n the lush grounds of myanmars president ial palace, a military band announces the arrival of pope francis, the rich pageantry, a world away from the terror felt by more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims who, since august, have fled into bangladesh in what the United Nations has called textbook ethnic cleansing. Today, pope francis met with myanmars de facto leader, as Human Rights Organisations urged him to talk about the rohingyas. Though he referred to the Muslim Minority last month, its a word the myanmar government does not use, saying they migrated illegally from bangladesh and therefore should not be listed as one of the countrys ethnic groups. Inside the convention centre, Aung San Suu Kyi did make reference to the events in rakhine, where rohingya have lived for generations. As we address long standing issues, the support of our people and of good friends, who only wish to see us succeed in our endeavours, has been invaluable. Aung san suu kyi chose to say little about the crisis. Expectations then shifted to pope francis. Translation the future of myanmar must be peace, based on respect for the dignity and right of each member of society, respect for each ethnic group and its identity, none excluded. Pope francis praised the United Nations but he did not refer to the uns accusation that myanmar had been involved in ethnic cleansing and while he said the future of this nation must include all races and religions, he did not use the word rohingya. Human rights activists have expressed disappointment that the pope didnt go further in his much anticipated speech. Many in eight country that is 75 buddhist were pleased that he did not name them. Translation it was wise of him not to use the word. The world is hearing the wrong message. The pope may also have been mindful of potential repercussions for another religious minority. Christians make up just 6 of the population here and many have travelled to take part in a special mass, where hope francis will preside tomorrow. Martin bashir, bbc news, myanmar. We will be getting reaction later on in the programme. Stay with us for that.

The indonesian island of bali is still anxiously waiting to see if there will be a major eruption of its biggest volcano mount agung. Ash and smoke are already pouring into the atmosphere. The whole area is on high alert and the International Airport remains closed for the second day running. Indonesias Disaster Agency says the volcano ash is moving southwest. Up to a 100,000 residents in the area have been ordered to evacuate as Hywell Griffiths reports from bali. With ash billowing overhead and tremors growing underground, mount agungs eruption shows no sign of slowing. The money flows had already spilt from the surface. They are dangerous but not as devastating as the redhot lava which could follow. In the mountains shadow, they had been preparing for months. Everybody knows the drill. These children have been reassured they will be safe as long as the evacuation plan is followed. Thousands forced from their homes two months ago when the tremors started, the wait has been unbearable. And there was no way of knowing when it will end. Translation i have two young children. What will we do . The impact of the eruptions already spreading, with more than 800 flights cancelled, the only way it in and out being broke. For this couple, it a good to leave. It seems pretty close at the minute. Were not sure whether it is due to iraq war at ease in the middle of writing. But some are determined to stick to every daylight here. Were not sure whether it is due to corrupt or if it is in the middle of a rusting. We will see. Erupt or in the middle of erupting. Blackouts have added to disruption and unease as people ask how this eruption will end. A short time ago i spoke to speak to robin lim from bali. She runs an organisation which is helping provide services for pregnant evacuees and their families. She told me about how theyve been assisting those in need. 0ur organisation is grassroots. We do have a lot of international support, a lot of local businesses and concerned citizens here in indonesia that help to support us. The government has a huge job on its hands, and they are doing the best they can. From my perspective, what i saw happening at the cams was an incredible effort with the local people and the heads of villages and the heads of the womens association, and then the government authorities. I have someone i would like you to meet. He is two months old. He was wearing a mask. He will not let us all the time. A few days ago, we did have considerable ash fall. He was born here with us. 0bviously his parents, who are from bali, they are very concerned about how he will do in this village, which, in 1963, had anywhere from ten to a0 centimetres of ash fall on any given day during the time of eruption. The eruption wasnt one eventin eruption. The eruption wasnt one event in 1963. It went on from months, up to one year. There would be promised rob blue monday, other days the weather with the full with effluent. Everton and their extended family, which at this point is three generations, can get away from the ash. It is the privilege to meet him. I impressed with how well he is coping. What a wonderful character. He is beautiful. He is a beautiful child. Very calm. Breast fed, of course. That is one of the things. We wa nt course. That is one of the things. We want to make sure that in this timea we want to make sure that in this time a disaster, people do not come in and try to give instant formula. Because lefts face it, we will be ina because lefts face it, we will be in a situation where we might not have water pump to keep our Running Water going. We might have internet and phone service go down. But we do know that in this village, we are prepared. That was robin with that adorable little boy speaking earlier.
