Eniola aluko is left out old. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. Donald trump has said the United States will solve the threat posed by north Koreas Nuclear programme. In an interview with the financial times, the president said the us would act alone if china wouldnt intervene. He made his comments ahead of a visit to the us by the chinese president this week. Heres our correspondent wyre davies. How do you solve a problem like north korea and its growing military ambitions . Under the leadership of kimjong un ambitions . Under the leadership of kim jong Un North Korea ambitions . Under the leadership of kimjong Un North Korea is increasingly seen as a rogue nation, threatening enemies and conducting Nuclear Missile tests. China has also become frustrated and ties are strained. But donald trump wants the chinese to do even more. If china isnt going to solve north korea, we will, thats what im telling you. Mrtrump will, thats what im telling you. Mr trump told that the ft. Asked if he could succeed alone he replied, totally. Its not the First Time Since his election that mr trump has pushed the issue of north korea towards the top of his Foreign Policy to do list, without being specific. Obviously north korea is a big, big problem. And we will deal with that very strongly. One of those who interviewed the president said the reason for his concern is clear, ahead of his much as dissipated meeting this week with the chinese premier. At the moment, and president 0bama said this to President Trump just after the election, this, the north koreans, will have the capacity to hit San Francisco and the californian coast by the end of his first term. With repeated warnings about the missile capabilities of north korea, officials of the Trump Administration are talking tough. During a recent trip to south korea, Secretary Of State the Secretary Of State said preliminary Military Action is an option. But it is widely believed that Military Action against the north korea would lead to very high civilian and military casualties. It is risky. Not only because of north koreas recent advancesin because of north koreas recent advances in nuclear technology, but because it has thousands of Artillery Pieces pointing at the capital of south korea. Even if you we re capital of south korea. Even if you were able to rob all those after a first salvo, the damage, the death count, would be absolutely horrific. The premiers visit the us will be the most important yet by a foreign leader. From Regional Peace to global trade, chinese and american leaders have much to discuss. Discussions which mr trump has acknowledged will be difficult. Well lets speak to our correspondent in washington gary 0donoghue. President trump says he will solve the north korea problem. How . Thats the north korea problem. How . Thats the big question. Because what theyve tried until now, what successive american administrations have tried, is ever tighter sanctions. There will have been round and round of un sponsored sanctions. They havent stopped the north koreans developing their programme. Pressure on china to keep north korea in line, but hasnt worked. They are even deploying some anti missile technologies to south korea, and that has not deterred north korea, either. The dangerfor The Americans is they believe north korea is getting closer to being able to minute to rise a nuclear warhead, put it on an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile which could reach the us, and a mid range missile which could hitjapan, or potentially qualm. Donald trump seems to be saying to the chinese that now is the time, but the question is, will they react to that . Question is, will they react to that . Guam. North korea is useful to them in that part of the world in terms of stopping american big enemy, if you like, right on their doorstep. Thanks very much. Five people have been charged following what police described as a brutal attack on a 17 year old boy in croydon. The teenager who is of kurdish iranian descent was set upon after telling a group of people that he was an Asylum Seeker. He is said to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital. Our Home Affairs Correspondent tom symonds is in croydon. The troubling thing about this attack was the sheer number of people involved. It happened at the bus stop there behind me. A young man, a young student, a kurdish student and his two friends waiting there were set upon by 20, 30 people who came out of the pub here behind me. Police have made some arrests. There have been some charges. But their investigation is continuing. Police are still looking for these two people. One man appearing slightly younger, the other slightly older, they may have been part of the mob which attacked the 17 year old kurdish student and his friends. Detectives today said come to us before we come to you. This morning the officer in charge of the case said that in total 11 people have been arrested in connection with what she said was a horrendous assault. I think this is powered by numbers. There has been an incident outside the pub. They have picked on three young men. There was no reason for this attack. And i believe that because of the numbers involved people have just jumped on because of the numbers involved people havejustjumped on the back of it, and this has turned into this violent brawl where somebody has been viciously beaten and is very lucky not to have lost his life. And the bust up behind us is relevant . Absolutely. Bus stop. People have come from the pub and attacked these individuals in the street. 0ne come from the pub and attacked these individuals in the street. One was kicked and beaten and left on the ground. The two friends of the victim ran while he was chased by the group. He got as far as this Street Corner where he was found with serious head injuries. Neighbours came to help. Unlike, police said, some of his attackers, who may not have struck any blows but did nothing to stop this happening. At Croydon Crown court five people in their early 20s have been charged with violent assault. Darrell and Daniel Edwards or live a short walk from wherever it happens. Neighbours who were worried about giving interviews said police had even dusted cars for fingerprints. And there is a Constant Police presence here in an area where this attack has raised tension. 0ver over at the court in croydon in those five people are appearing as we speak in front of magistrates and discussions are being had about bail. And i am told there will be a hearing coming up shortly in which they will appear, in this case, as it continues. As i say, police in this area are still very much present, still very much looking into that large group of people who we re into that large group of people who were involved in that attack, and they are trying to find out who else that may have included. Thanks very much. The Spanish Foreign minister, alfonso dastis, has said hes surprised by the tone of the british reaction to talk about the sovereignty of gibraltar. The government of the territory has criticised the eu for including it in its Draft Negotiating Strategy with the uk about brexit. The foreign secretary borisjohnson has said gibraltar would remain british as long as its people wanted that to be the case. 0ur Correspondent tom burridge sent this report from gibraltar. Rush hour between gibraltar and spain. Thousands cross onto the rock every day to work, and there is some uncertainty here about what brexit will mean. Translation im overwhelmed, because we dont know what will happen, and whether we will be able to continue working here. Maria tells us its important that the arrangements at the border stays the same for her and other spanish workers. Do you think brexit will cause problems for gibraltar . No. Why not . There is too much in both parties, well, it isnt in both parties parties, well, it isnt in both pa rties interests parties, well, it isnt in both parties interests financially for there to be any sort of people. This is currently an internal eu border, but probably in two years that will change. This gives you a sense of how intertwined peoples lives are over on that side of the border in Southern Spain and hearing gibraltar. The arrangements at the border will be part of the negotiation between britain and the eu about what brexit means here, and the eu says spains voice will be heard. Spain has long complained that gibraltars wealth is partly down to lower taxes on this side of the border. Madrid kept relatively quiet this weekend, compared to the rhetoric back home. But this morning the Spanish Foreign minister suggested britain is overreacting. Translation the Spanish Government isa translation the Spanish Government is a little surprised by the tone of comments regarding gibraltar, coming out of britain, which is a country known for its composure. Almost everything on brexit and what it will mean for gibraltar is, for now, speculation and theory. But speaking Ata Speculation and theory. But speaking at a meeting for eu foreign ministers, the foreign secretary eggen said that gibraltars sovereignty is not up for debate. Eggen said that gibraltars sovereignty is not up for debatelj think sovereignty is not up for debate. think the British Government is very clear about the fact that the sovereignty of gibraltar is unchanged, it wont change, and cannot conceivably change without the expressed support and consent from the people of gibraltar and the uk. That isnt going to change. But what is changing as britains relationship with the eu, and therefore gibraltars relationship with spain. Two neighbours who are not the best of friends. Are you drowning in Credit Card Debt . Well, the Financial Services regulator is proposing new rules for Credit Card Companies to help millions of customers get out of long term debt. The regulations are designed to help borrowers whose failure to settle their accounts means they end up paying more in charges and interest than the sum they originally borrowed. 0ur personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz reports. Credit cards, so convenient, but the interest and charges rack up. Some people are eventually paying £2 50 for every £1 they have borrowed. £2. 50. The 3. 4 billion people who are in persistent Credit Card Debt. We wa nt are in persistent Credit Card Debt. We want to make sure they get help much sooner than otherwise done, and that they get it on a predictable basis. Persistent that means they are spending years are paying more in charges and interest than in repayments. After 18 months the card company will have to prompt them to pay back faster. After three years, a formal repayment plan should be proposed, and if the customer cannot afford it charges could be waived on the card cancelled. Credit Card Companies should take on more responsibility to help people that may be more vulnerable. They shouldnt encourage people to have credit cards who cannot afford them. People do have to take responsibility for their own money, as well. The cost of being stuck in Credit Card Debt can escalate and in the end it is the Card Companies who are making money out of it. Its estimated that if these measures are implemented effectively it could save the card uses up to £1. 3 billion a year. Debt experts say thatis billion a year. Debt experts say that is treating the symptom and not the cause, which is that people are allowed to go so long without repaying. You look at the weather credit cards are structured. Minimum repayments, people can take out a large balance and repay it in very small amounts, which is trapping millions of people in persistent debt. Unless that is changed and the structure of products are at a more realistic repayment at the outset, we are likely to see more people falling into persistent debt in the future. Credit Card Companies say they will look at the proposals, which they welcome, use of cars is rising rapidly is a pressure to help borrowers who find themselves with problems. Use of cards. Restrictions on the use of police bail come into force today in england and wales. The amount of time a suspect released from custody can remain on bail will be limited to twenty eight days in most cases. The decision is in response to concerns that people were being left in limbo for months or even years. But police have questioned the move, as our Home Affairs Correspondent june kelly reports. Famous faces whove been under police investigation, finally told they wouldnt be facing charges, but only after long months on bail. They were among the 5000 still on bail after a year. The government says the system needed rebalancing. Well, whats happened in the past is people could be put on bail with No End In Sight and no check or balance, which means we had thousands of people could be on bail for 12 months or more. In fact, there were examples of people on for several years, and thats just not acceptable. Weve got to make sure weve got a proper system that is appropriate and proportionate. The former Deputy Editor of the news of the world, neil wallis, was cleared of Phone Hacking by a jury after spending too long periods on bail. This devastated our lives. It destroyed my marriage. 0ne bail. This devastated our lives. It destroyed my marriage. One of my children had a breakdown. Another one of my children lost their long term relationship because of the pressure. Iwas long term relationship because of the pressure. I was sacked on the day that i was arrested and bailed. I was left bereft. From now on, some suspects wont be suspect subject to police bail at all. For those who are, the limit would be 28 days. But are, the limit would be 28 days. But a Senior Police officer will be able to grantan a Senior Police officer will be able to grant an extension of up to three months. The police will have to seek the permission of a magistrate for anything longer. The Police Federation is highly critical of the changes. 28 days in the cycle of a Police Officer is not a long time for investigating a crime. You also have to bear in mind in relation to external enquiries, we have external resources. External enquiries, we have external resources. Forensic, cps. 28 days is not realistic for them to come back to us. The Police Federation believes the old system protected witnesses and victims, and helped to prevent further offending.
