News. Many thanks for the latest hello and welcome to a New Year and welcome to News Day we'll be kicking off 2019 by hearing from North Korea's dictator Syrian refugees NASA scientists and Filipino environmentalists not to mention the woman who plans to calm down drunk and and by wearing pink all of that coming up this half hour it's. Hard with you this morning. There are many messages at this time of year the standard New Year's greeting being much heard around our office overnight Happy New Year among the public messages being to live up to the now traditional television address to the North Korean people as a way of making headlines all this time last year Kim Jong un an ounce the sporting diplomacy which led to his meeting with Donald Trump So what did he have to say this year sitting in a suit and tie on a comfy leather armchair winds around him was in need of. One what he's saying there is our party is our government and my resolve for complete denuclearization remain unchanged he says we proclaim that we will no longer make nuclear weapons and will not use them or spread them we have taken various practical measures already and well that is causing quite a lot of interest let's get the core message unpacked for us by the B.B.C.'s Laura Buika who joins us now from South Korea Laura how are people interpret in this. Well I think I was a sunrise said to many here in South Korea right at the East Coast and it's this beautiful long sandy beaches and they turned their faces to the rising sun their make their wish for the new year for decades South Koreans have hoped and longed for peace and I think finally in 2019 they see it within their grasp but there are several hurdles they wanted to hear the speech because they wanted to hear what Kenyans priorities where for the year and I think they will be pleased with what they heard him going in praise the enter Korean efforts that go to heads and they've worked together to try to kind of disarm parts of the demilitarized zone they have been very sporting and cultural exchanges and then there was this kind of warning to the United States 1st of all he praised what has gone on and between Donald Trump and himself during the year the meetings that the warm summits but he said that basically the United States needs to act there was a warning and there he is ready to meet Donald Trump whenever however he doesn't feel that Washington is holding up its side of the bargain that they signed in Singapore North Korea feels it's doing all the action here that it's looking at denuclearization it's blown up one of its test sites it's no longer testing missiles as you heard in that clip there but it feels that it's time for the United States to basically offer them something offer some kind of olive branch and they've The said that their patience will not last forever so I think when it comes to 2019 I think they're looking for the United States act quickly otherwise perhaps the warning is something might happen I think that something might be look we're prepared to restart missile tests you've been pointing out on the b.b.c. That a lot of this is mainly for domestic consumption about the visuals because I thought they were 1st made in the body language and so on he looked like he was speaking in a gentlemen's club I don't know how many there are of those in Pyongyang sort of a level chair books lined up on the war he wasn't in anything like uniform he had a nice lounge suit on books very comfortable sort of not a desk sitting down in an armchair What was the message to North Koreans. Ok You see we were quite a gas when we saw the start of the broadcast was was kind of strange there was lots of kind of chimes you saw him walking into this big office and this office is the Workers' Party office he was also flanked by huge portraits of his father and his grandfather remember these are the 2 men that ordered the building of this new clear in our arsenal an arsenal that North Koreans call their treasured sword an arsenal that they sacrificed a lot for including in the 1980 sanctions that brought a famine which ended up in millions and either getting very sick or certainly hundreds of thousands dying so when it comes to what the North Koreans have sacrificed for these weapons to hear the word denuclearization come from Kim Jong Il's might might have been you know one of these moments where they go we're really this is what we're this is what we're doing now but 90 percent of the speech focused on the economy he said he wants to make North Koreans lives better he wants them to have electricity to have meat on their table that's a pledge he made as soon as he became leader the problem is he cannot make that pledge come true while under these strict economic sanctions and those sanctions will remain and until the United States sees North Korea no longer as a threat many thanks indeed on the east coast she was saying that of South Korean jumped on Jane that was the B.B.C.'s Laura because sand between her toes. Now many of you will be celebrating the New Year at the moment with fireworks but science does it a bit differently so many of you space fans will have welcomed 29000 while tracking the New Horizon spacecraft the NASA probe has just sped past the space rock all to much truly on the outer edge of the solar system we can speak now to a planetary scientist Dr Carley Howlett of the south west Research Institute in Boulder Colorado and she's in Maryland at John Hopkins University. Where the images are being sent or meant to be sent Dr how it thank you so much for joining us very exciting what exists. In your voice that tell me why we all should be very excited about the supply by mean how fast or how big is it how do you quantify it so the fly by is happening incredibly quickly so this is the spacecraft is is traveling so fast that we our entire encounter is about 3 hours long the target is very small ultimately we think is somewhere between sort of probably around 20 miles across but it's a very fall from us as about 6500000000 kilometers so this is exciting because it's exploring something that we really have never seen before this is an object like we've never seen so it's true exploration at its finest So it was waiting with bated breath for the states to come down I'm sure you are what are we likely to see when when the probe actually sees something and takes pictures because I understand you're not talking to it at the moment or it's not talking to you because it's so far away so it's doing it's job is no it's not being on sociable. So we don't want to waste time by talking to us what we want to do is to be taking data and that's exactly what he's doing so it's taking a range of data though to be returned over the course of the next 2 years it takes a long time for us to get it all down but tomorrow morning we'll we'll hear from the space call for a very short amount of time to tell us it's alive and well and hopefully that is taken all the data that we'll see it to and then we can start looking forward to getting that returns let's talk about the ultimate truly I mean you say it's not very big I mean that's quite relative it's on the edge of the solar system what can it tell us what can the data tell us about this and why is this particularly important right I mean I think that doesn't have to be big of course to be important as someone is 5 to I would. Like to believe that but it's important because this is a remnant from also system formation so it's. Formed that 4 foot so far from the sun it probably was by the sun so I think that a feather and of course that heats it up like that you know we enjoy some sunshine on the earth and it's changed the face of all of us but this is so far away from the sun that it's sort of remained the way it's always been and so by exploring all it's what city we kind of get a sense of what the solar system is like it is very formation and so you know it's not going to change the price of coffee tomorrow as I was also have you but it is going to tell us a lot about where we come from and how sort of system as you vote questions a very big that is trying to balance the prices of coffee aside of course I know that you say you wait with bated breath to get the data how long before we get pictures and data from the probe. Well hopefully we should start getting a small amount of them tomorrow and then kind of going forward from there so the data is coming down really from tomorrow evening so hopefully we'll have some good images to show you by the 2nd and what are you expecting to see that's the question is to exploration so we know that we think it's very red so we expect the surface to look red we know it's small we think it's made of 2 lobes so it has sort of it looks a bit like a bowling pin if you can imagine that we think that the data still very fuzzy and so it could be falling us so we're looking forward to having those sharper images so we really know what we're looking for but that's the joy of exploration sometimes you don't know what you look at you know if you're going to get well we do look forward to speaking to you when we when you actually get the data look at those pictures it's a very excited Dr Karley joining us live there that is one of the top stories other top stories North Korean leader Kim Jong un warning he may change course on deed nuclearization that was in a television message television address to the North Korean people and Brazil's new right wing president job also morrow is set to be sworn into office on this 1st day of the year support his Mike Williams Thank you Lawrence $88000000.00 for less than 3 minutes work not your reported fee for this program slightly less That is the figure Robert for the former 5 work weight world boxing champion Floyd Mayweather that he reportedly And for an exhibition bout against the Japanese kick boxer 10 shin to car the 3 round contest inside Tomei contested under boxing rules with kicking for a bit and lasted for less than one round as Mayweather put massive power down 3 times before his corner threw in the towel 2 of the biggest stars in tennis will play each other for the 1st time later today Roger Federer and Serena Williams will meet in the mixed doubles when Switzerland play the United States. In the Hopman Cup mixed team event in Perth it's part of their preparations for the Australian Open which begins on the 14th of January but one man who will be missing from the 1st Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne is the world number 51 Martin del Potro he's not yet recovered from a fractured from a fractured knee suffered in October in football West Ham have signed the former Arsenal Manchester City midfielder some in now Israel on the day he completes a doping ban the 31 year old Frenchman has been without a club since the 31st of January last year since leaving the Turkish club until a spore and in the n.b.a. The Golden State Warriors on dollar has been fined $25000.00 for throwing a ball into the stands during Saturday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Oregon. Received a technical foul and was objected from the game after the incident which occurred after time expired in the 2nd quarter Thanks Mike Moore in 20 minutes time a friend of mine recently went to Arsenal Spurs a very experienced football fan and he came away to my surprise shaking his head at the level of aggression and hatred and general nost in us directed by the fans that he was sitting in a bit of a reminder you kind of need it sometimes the link between football and let's be perfectly honest male aggression remains pretty constant even if we don't talk about it that much it has to be managed it has been since the horrible days when I grew up amongst the hooligans who ruin the sport one of the U.K.'s big train operators Virgin Trains employed a conflict resolution expert to manage travelling and boisterous football fans on trains fans fueled by alcohol can make travel pretty horrible for other people Luisa Weinstein is part of the team who came up with the training which involves stewards wearing pink bibs and it's written spoke to her there were a lot of challenges on trains particularly when they were not of traffic. Very lively people needs to be looked at offering a very different way but in both him made to do conflict resolution training to conflict in an alternative way so sometimes days sometimes as on except from fans but it's about thinking about that ahead of time so managing the environment making sure there aren't too many trains to full obviously when it kicks off in your around it's very hard to feel compassionate around it but the job of the host is really to make sure that it doesn't take off in the 1st place it's about diverting that attention away from the vulnerable people that are on the train for a start but also you know every manager that behavior and turning it round into something that is less dog British Transport Police are there on hand for when situations get out of hand and obviously the safety and danger issues all primary. But things can escalate when you're faced with the kind of police presence making the passengers around the staff all vulnerable Luisa once done apparently pink babes are good for calming crowds presume you asked why they use yellow ones in Paris I suppose it's coming up to 20 past the hour this is news day from the b.b.c. World Service Well it's a bit over 8 years now since Mohamed Bouazizi set himself alight in Tunisia and triggered the so-called Arab Spring several of our stories this morning deal with the fallout in Yemen for example the war in Syria and in huge displacement of people it produced well over the holiday period the B.B.C.'s been hearing from some of those working to help the millions of refugees who fled the u.n.h.c.r. a Special envoy for Refugees Angelina Jolie got some of them to record their daily life here's Neda's audio diary of working with refugees in Jordan.
