A warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business, and sport. And you can be part of the conversation. Weve all been charmed by the exploits at wimbledon of 15 year old cori gauff. But is there too much pressure being put on her at too young an age . Tell us what you think just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing. And we will talk through your comments. We begin in north korea today. North korea says washington is determined to carry on with what it called hostile acts against it, despite President Trumps professed desire to hold talks. It comes just days after the two leaders met in the demilitarised zone when President Trump became the first sitting us president to walk into north korea. The duo agreed to continue talks on the countrys nuclear programme. But now pyongyangs representatives to the United Nations say the us wants to undermine the peaceful atmosphere in the korea peninsula and call on all countries to be vigilant. Dr robert kelly is from the department of Political Science at Pusan National university. Good to see you again. Whats your ta ke good to see you again. Whats your take on this shift in tone on the pa rt take on this shift in tone on the part of north korea . It seems we are backin part of north korea . It seems we are back in the zone of angry exchanges. Yeah, it is pretty typical north korean shenanigans. The North Koreans are on and off, hot and cold. They have done this in the past before. I think this standard a nalyst past before. I think this standard analyst explanation is that it is a pressure tactic. On the one hand it looks like they are doing a good thing, good cop, bad cop, and the next day they flip out and Say Something outrageous. The idea is to pressure the interlocutor, the americans, to make concessions ideal or Something Like this. The North Koreans have acted like this for decades. In terms of ossingtons response, i dont think we have seen an official line from the trump administration, but how do you think they will react . I think they will just avoid it. The North Koreans are no for shooting their mouths off known for. Im not sure the americans are most to gain by saying anything at all. We want to continue to perpetuate what happened over the weekend, even if it is a fiction. An icy no benefit. It willjust go by the by, no one will say anything. But in terms of what north korea is up but in terms of what north korea is up to, its nuclear programme, what do we know about that . Thats probably what this is designed to do. Keep pushing the americans, particularly on sanctions. We know they want sanctions relief and that they want sanctions relief and that the dmz meeting the president said he would not do that. If you are the North Koreans may you are getting to the point where you are like why meeting with the president , we have done three times, when getting sanctions relief, imagining North Koreans are getting upset by that may ultimately expect these meetings will pay off. So far not much has happened. There has not been a deal by the side. In the meantime we have seen kim jong un meet with chinas president xi recently and also president xi recently and also president putin recently. So they are getting closer to the allies from that perspective, while having this but with ossington. Yes. That socially pretty smart. If you are north korea you do not want to be stuck with one patron, always with the americans or the chinese, you wa nt to the americans or the chinese, you want to play this goes off against each other. South korea against japan against russia and see what deals you can get with everyone. The North Koreans have also been doing that for decades and with quite some success. So we should watch this space as ever. Doctor robert kelley, thank you for your time, good to see you again. The United NationsSecurity Council has failed to agree on a joint statement condemning an air strike on a migrant Detention Camp in libya, in which at least 44 people were killed. Reports indicate the United States was not prepared to support the text. Ramzan karmali reports. The aftermath of the attack on this Detention Centre in an eastern tripoli suburb. Its been described by one un official as a possible war crime. Dozens were killed and many more injured. Most are believed to be sub Saharan Africa nz. Attempting to reach europe from libya africans. Were pretty sure this stage that this is the worst civilian casualties incident in the course of the libyan civil war to date, which is saying something. All this is made all the more horrific by the fact that the information regarding the location of the Migrant Centre, Detention Centre and the people who are in it had been shared with the parties during the conflict. A Libyan Government spokesman named the attack on an air strike by forces loyal to a warlord, khalifa haftar. His forces accused the government side of gelling the centre. The escalation of fighting in the current civil war has led to calls for better protections for the refugees stop at the United NationsSecurity Council failed to condemn the airstrike because the United States did not endorse the proposed statement which had called for a ceasefire. For the thousands who have found themselves in libyan Detention Centres, Living Conditions are Detention Centres, Living Conditions a re often Detention Centres, Living Conditions are often appalling. And though numbers attempting to make the journey to europe falling, the dangers for those do are rising. Ramzan karmali, bbc news. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news.

Now, President Trump has raised the prospect of a global currency war just days after he agreed a truce in the trade battle with china. Hes taken to twitter to call for the us to force down the value of the dollar to better compete with china and europe a move that could have huge implications for economies around the world. With me is jane foley, Senior Foreign Exchange Strategist at rabobank. Who better to talk about this . Nice to see you. Nice to see you, jane. Interesting tweet on the part of the us interesting tweet on the part of the us president. What are the implications . The implications could be huge if the us treasury were successful in weakening the dollar. That is a big if. When we look back in history, we have to look back quite a long way, to see when treasury departments have been successful in intervening. Its usually when the fundamentals suggest that that currency should be turning anyway. There is a big question as to whether or not the dollar would on its own we can. There is speculation it would anyway. The fed will be cutting Interest Rates. If the us treasury we re Interest Rates. If the us treasury were to be seen to be manipulating the value of the us dollar, this would be huge. Its not like other currencies, because most currencies around the world are pegged to the us dollar. I mean, most of the d10, the big currencies, of freely floating. I would argue that if they stop managing the chinese currency that currency would fall, potentially making donald trump as my problems worse with respect to his trade deficit. For instance, i think he is looking at currencies like euro, maybe the australian dollar, maybe the yen, these are freely floating currencies. The reason that Central Banks are policies which might in donald trump as my views be seen as trying to wea ken as my views be seen as trying to weaken those currencies is only when the economy s need that type of stimulation. So right now we are in a global downswing. Central banks have become more dovish, more likely to cut Interest Rates than hike them. The action of the fed may move them. The action of the fed may move the dollar anyway or predictions of what the fed may do injuly are likely to move the dollar. Thats right. A rate cut is priced in already. Interest rate cuts are coming from other Central Banks as well and that negates the effect on the dollar. Thank you finau. Jane is later for the news the dollar. Thank you finau. Jane is laterfor the news briefing. We have so much more to discuss than for now. One person has been killed in a volcanic eruption on the italian island of stromboli. The victim is believed to be a tourist. The eruption was unexpected and started fires on the small mediterranean island, just north of sicily. Rebecca hartmann reports. Ash and smoke rising in the air, just moments after the volcanic explosion on stromboli. The mushroom shaped cloud grew larger until it soon filled the sky above the small island. Witnesses say they heard a loud boom and saw streams of red, hot lava running towards the village of ginostra. One male hiker died after being hit by a falling stone. While others were injured. Many tourists threw themselves into the sea for safety. The volcano, nicknamed the lighthouse of the mediterranean, is one of the most active on the planet and has been under a regular state of eruption since 1932. But experts arent entirely sure what caused this explosion. Its probably to do with the accumulation of a large amount of gas, deep in the volcanic system, which is then released in one great big bubble and that rises up and pushes all of the magma out in one go. Rescue services say the eruption started fires on the western side of the island. Firefighters even sent a plane to drop water on the flames below. Just 500 people live on the island and it relies heavily on tourists, many of whom claim the 924 metre summit to peer into its crater stop something volcano enthusiasts are likely to keep doing despite the obvious dangers.

Joining me from there is our correspondent, robin brant. Quite an quite a Heated Exchange of words. Yes, heated. China does regard hong kong and taiwan in particular as being very much part of its internal Domestic Affairs and it doesnt like foreign governments, particularly the uk, the former colonial power when it comes to hong kong, frankly sticking their nose in. That is how it sees it. Anyway, in terms of how the comments, both from jeremy hunt, the uks foreign secretary and the Chinese Ambassador in london are going down here, in terms of the protesters, they regard the uk and the comments from jeremy hunt as being very important. Some of the protesters we spoke to in the aftermath of mondays are storming and occupation of the Legislative Council building just over there, pa rt Council Building just over there, part of the reason they did it they say was to get the attention of the foreign media but also foreign politicians and foreign governments. So they are pleased that the uk has spoken out and spoken out in such terms.
