hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the bbc has spoken to a senior member of the north korean regime and he has this warning for the united states. translation: if the us is reckless enough to use military means it would mean, from that very day, an all—out nuclear war. the americans have warnings of their own. vice—president mike pence is in south korea. north korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the united states in this region. president erdogan has dismissed criticisms of turkey's referendum by international monitors. and says he wants his victory followed quickly by changes to the constitution. a bbc team has seen evidence of mass graves in the democratic republic of congo. the rising tension between

north korea and the america shows no sign of abating. the bbc'sjohn sudworth is in pyongyang — and he's spoken to north korea's vice foreign minister. the message is not conciliatory, as you'll see. north korea is all about shows of strength. the first today came in this tae kwon do demonstration. the next, in kim il—sung square, close to the centre of power, by way of a rare interview. translation: if the us is reckless enough to use military means, it would mean, from that very day, an all—out war. our nuclear weapons protect us from that threat. we will be conducting more missile threats on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

today, the us vice president, mike pence, was in south korea, visiting the demilitarised zone that separates the two halves of this divided peninsula. he, too, was talking tough. it was a period of strategic patience but the era of strategic patience is over. president trump has made it clear that the patience of the united states and our allies in this region has run out. but, despite the posturing on both sides, the risks are limited. for the us and its allies, war would be far too costly. and north korea's threats, although deeply alarming, are always conditional. if you could send one message to donald trump today, what would it be? translation: i would tell him that if the us encroaches on our sovereignty, then it will provoke an immediate

counter reaction. if the us is planning a military attack against us, we will react with a nuclear pre—emptive strike by our own style and methods. tonight, although all options apparently remain on the table, the us appears to be signalling that diplomacy and toughened sanctions are now the most likely way forward. it's yet unclear how, having failed before, they will persuade this most totalitarian of states to disarm. there is strong evidence that beyond the gloom of this city lie vast political prisons, gulags in which all dissent, however mild, is crushed. although, in his interview, the vice minister called that accusation a lie. militarised, isolated and repressive, north korea has the right to follow its own path

and, he insisted, no—one will be able to stop it. john sudworth, bbc news, pyongyang. gary o'donoghue is in washington and talked me through the options available to the us. the options are limited. there is a carrier group off the coast that the vice president standing high ball and the north koreans across the demilitarised zone, a lot of rhetoric coming out of donald trump. there is a lot of noise and show of force, but what can they actually do? if they strike north korea, the most likely outcome is that those artillery batteries embedded in the hills and mountains north of the borderjust 30 miles hills and mountains north of the border just 30 miles from hills and mountains north of the

borderjust 30 miles from seoul could hit 10 million people, cause enormous devastation. that doesn't seem like a good outcome. what they are hoping for, what they are relying on, is a change of heart by china, a new attitude in beijing thatis china, a new attitude in beijing that is prepared to put real economic and political pressure on the north koreans. china is the only country that north korea listens to, if it listens to anyone. a lot has been made about the turning back of coal shipments from china. the chinese import a lot of oil to north korea has north korea don't have any oil, and the military the size of north korea's, you need gasoline. the americans are hoping that they can tie the issue of trades into the whole debate about what to do about

north korea and have a different relationship between washington and beijing and can put real pressure on pure online —— the only. international observers say turkey's constitutional referendum wasn't conducted fairly. on sunday, a majority voted in support of extensive new powers for the president. these observers are from a european mission — its report online — and this is one of the team. the constitutional referendum took place on a level playing field and the two sides on the campaign did not have equal opportunities. voters we re not have equal opportunities. voters were not provided with information about a key aspect of the reform, and organisations were not able to participate. bbc‘s mark lowen calls this

"a pretty damning conclusion", but the turkish government has said this conclusion is "unacceptable". here's president erdogan responding to it earlier. translation: know your limits. turkey was neither listen to you or acknowledge this political report. we will continue on our way, continue to walk our path. this country has had the most democratic elections, the lights off with which has never happened in any western country. here's mark lowen again. @marklowen "a country split down the middle, opposition challenging result & president backing death penalty. hard not to conclude that turkey feels v lost".

well, the turnout was high — and the result was close. 51.4% to 48.6%. here are two front pages from turkey. the secular s zc: "is your conscience comfortable? fraud." the divide is geographical — most regions in the country's interior where mr erdogan‘s always performs well — it voted yes. the three largest cities — istanbul, ankara and izmir — all voted no. as did districts along the aegean and southeast anatolia coast — that's where many kurds live. and they are no supporters of the president. these are pictures we have from istanbul. these are opposition supporters banging pots and pans — that's a traditional form of protest. we will have to see what if anything

they can do to reverse this result. just to quickly go over what exactly people were voting on. prepare the budget, choose the majority of seniorjudges and enact certain laws by decree. the president alone would be able to announce a state of emergency and dismiss parliament. mark lowen is in istanbul — here's his take on what will happen next. i think what lies ahead in the short—term is intense division and instability. today the international observer mission capable salmon verdict, saying the referendum was not held on a level playing field and it fell of international standards. the opposition will see

that as an emboldening of their attem pts that as an emboldening of their atte m pts to that as an emboldening of their attempts to challenge this result. they say they will take the results to referendum on electoral boards and they want the results nullified. the result is a very divided country today. the result is a very divided country today. this is what the ballot looked like. no question was posed — voters just stamped yes or no. so how the campaigns framed the vote was absolutely crucial. and they did this under emergency rule which is in place after last yea r‘s attempted coup. since then, many opposition figures have been jailed and there have been restrictions on public gatherings. there was also a procedural change at the last minute. my colleague seref isler noted: "election council decides to count envelopes without a seal unless proven to have been brought in from the outside". critics say this increased the chance of fraud. now reaction from

the european union. first, the european commission: "in view of the close referendum result and the far—reaching implications of the constitutional amendments, we call on the turkish authorities to seek the broadest possible national consensus." not clear what that means in practice. next, this is austria's foreign minister saying this is "a clear signal against the european union." "turkey can't be a member. the fiction ofjoining must be ended." i'm not sure any of us are expecting that to happen any time soon. and this is is president of the european parliament. "very concerned about mention of possible on death penalty in turkey. red line for the #europeanunion." that's a reference to president erdogan saying after the result that turkey could now hold a referendum on bringing back the death penalty.

this came in just before we went on air. this is from reuters. the turkish national security council advises extension of state of emergency by three months. this again from reuters, donald trump as has called recep tayyip erdogan to congratulate him on winning the referendum, that is according to sources within the presidential palace in turkey. still to come — we'll have more on the turkish referendum. the result will be seen as a win for president erdogan — we'll be finding out what's next for the country's powerful president. prince harry has revealed he has had

counselling to help them get over the death of his mother, princess diana. he told the daily telegraph that he spent 20 years not thinking about her death and eventually got help after two years of what he called chaos. paul farmer, the chief executive of the uk's mental health charity, welcomed the decision by the prince to speak so candidly. every time somebody in the public eye speaks candidly about the mental health problems it encourages ordinary people to talk to a friend, family member, but it also might encourage that friend to seek help from a gp or a charity. it is helping more people to talk, but it is also helping more people to seek help. that is a fundamental first step. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom.

our lead story: north korea's deputy foreign minister says that north korea will continue to test the limits of despite international condemnation and says that an all—out war would be the result of any us military action. clashes have broken out between israeli forces and palestinians during a rally held in bethlehem. the rally was to support palestinian prisoners who are in israeli jails. in arkansas there is a planned execution of seven prisoners in ten days with the first schedule today. this video is among the most watched on the bbc website. presidentjob on the white house balcony. there is

the white house balcony. there is the easter bunny. there were hosting the easter bunny. there were hosting the 139th easter egg roll. china's economy is growing faster than expected. we've got new figures for the first three months of this year — growth is at 6.9%. this is the world's second biggest economy so it impacts on us all. here's the analysis of the bbc‘s asia business correspondent, karishma vaswani. china's gdp figures have shocked people, astonished a lot of analysts i have spoken to. the game above what many people expected. it is important to point out that whilst we should always remain sceptical about these official figures from beijing, it is important to look at the number as a whole as a sign that china's growth rate is stabilising.

the trajectory seems to be stabilising. the growth rate last year was the lowest in 26 years, but if you look closer at the things that have helped china's economy to grow this time around, it is the same old tricks, state investment, the property market. where is the transition that beijing has talked about over the last few years? moving from the old tricks to a new modern economy. we are not seeing that as the main drivers of growth just yet. the world's biggest oil exporter, saudi arabia, says it plans to get ten percent of its electricity from renewable sources within six years. the new focus on green energy is part of a £50 billion programme that's intended to wean the saudi economy off its almost complete dependency on oil and gas reserves. the saudi energy minister, khaled al—falih, made the announcement today in riyadh. translation: among the renewable energy projects we lunch today 130

projects to be implemented in the next seven years to add close to ten gigawatts of electric energy, produced from renewable sources, to the kingdom's electricity supply. so, the percentage of renewable energy by 2023 will represent 10% of the total electricity in the kingdom. the latest movie in the fast and furious franchise has grossed an estimated $532 million dollars since friday. that's an international record, making it the make it the highest grossing opening weekend in history. it's made less money in the us than other fast and furious films. but that was more than compensated by the $190 million it made in china. samir, what is this film doing so right? the entire franchise is doing something quite successful given

that we have seen eight films in the franchise already. part of the success of this film is because it is just not very complicated. people sometimesjust want is just not very complicated. people sometimes just want to go to the cinema and be entertained and this honour to those basic level is cars smashing into each other and blowing up. that kind of simplicity has garnered a lot of attention. it is something that people like. it is not as though didn't get high—value actors playing in the films. helen mirren made and appearance in this latest movie. clearly, the recipe is going down well in china, that figure is quite something. going down well in china, that figure is quite somethingm going down well in china, that figure is quite something. it is absolutely outstanding. if you look at the movie that had been dyed in biggest global box office success,

it beat out star wars. star wars did not debut at the same time in china, whereas this felon debuted in china as well as everywhere else in the world. china is a big market and we have talked about how big china is in terms of its market for a variety of products, and cinema is in fact one of those as well, that is why you're seeing more chinese references and films, china being pa rt references and films, china being part of plotlines, because there is a lot of potential in that market. thank you. let's talk to the democratic republic of congo. there has been evidence of mass killings here. the government is trying to put down arab rebellion in the central province. we know that for hundred

people have died in the fighting and the un has identified at least 23 mass graves. louis's wife and children are missing. they ran off when shooting began. most people in his community have left. the united nations has stepped up patrols. at a neighbour's home he shows us a makeshift grave. translation: in this great is the father of this house. i don't know who killed him. everything can change in an instant. we arejust in this neighbourhood and we have come underfire. we this neighbourhood and we have come under fire. we have this neighbourhood and we have come underfire. we have been interviewing people here and there

has been shooting. we couldn't tell he was firing and left. this is a conflict in the middle of the democratic republic of congo. fighting began when the government killed a local chief last august was that his supporters retaliated and started a rebellion. to un experts we re started a rebellion. to un experts were killed here last month whilst investigating violations by both sides. this is one of over 20 mass graves the united nations has found since starting began here. it is colin for an international enquiry into what has happened. we met the man who told us he was forced to dig a mass grave by government soldiers after they raided his time looking for a militia. we have hidden his identity and changed his voice to protect him. they kill people and rape women. the next day we saw a

general who said, out of your house we are not going to kill any more. he asked us to bury people, even members of my family, even people i knew. the army has launched investigations into crimes committed here, but its chief prosecutor says both soldiers and militia should be blamed for the mass graves and killings. translation: these mass graves are not just killings. translation: these mass graves are notjust the work of the armed forces. members of the militia also go on killing sprees. they dig mass graves and dumped the bodies there then people blame the authorities. nevertheless, these things are happening and can't be ignored. those who can't flee the fighting remained trapped in a conflict that is proving both volatile and hard to resolve. police in cleveland, ohio,

say a gunman, suspected to be this man steve stephens, who killed a man on the street and posted the footage on facebook could be anywhere. this man steve stephens, who killed a man on the street and posted the footage on facebook could be anywhere. they have asked residents of ohio, indiana, michigan, new york and pennsylvania to be on the alert. this man steve stephens, who killed a man on the street this is the momentjust before he shot dead 74—year—old robert godwin. he was walking home after having lunch with his family on sunday. the video was on facebook for three hours before it was removed. sarah corker has the story. speaking on his phone and broadcasting the conversation live on facebook, this is the moment steve stephens makes an extraordinary confession.

ijust snapped, i just snapped, dog. ijust snapped, dog. ijust killed 13 people, man. that is what they did, i'd killed 13 people. moments earlier he had approached an elderly man picked at random and shot him dead. he later posted footage of the violent killing on facebook. his victim 74—year—old robert goodwin, reports say he just finished an easter meal with his family and was walking home when he was killed. visibly distraught, this is his son and daughter's reaction. this man right here was a good man and i hear that he has gone. stevens appears in the video to confess to multiple killings. cleveland police say they are only aware of one death. currently there are no other victims that we know. we have checked

several positions that were in the post or that we know about and there are no other victims that we know about. this isn't the first time that a fatal shooting has been streamed on facebook. last year our man was shot dead well latest grooming himself in chicago. facebook said it was an horrific crime and their policy was to contact the police went there were a direct threats to physical safety. his warning that temp one is armed and dangerous and the fbi have now joined the hunt for him. thanks for watching the first half of the programme. we will get to your questions in the second half of the programme. thanks forjoining me. i will give

you a flavour of the uk's by the prospect in a few minutes, but first let's go across the world. in easter in new york temperatures topped out at 30 degrees, the second warmest easter on record and way above that you would expect at the time of year. they were drawing warm air out of the gulf of mexico and pushing them further north. once that hot weather system moves out into the atlantic, that will open the door to a much colder and fresher weather moving in from canada into the north—eastern states of the usa, such that as you move towards the middle part of the week it will be wet and cold. some of that rain will be welcome, if only it would fall in the south—eastern corner of the usa where wildfires have been a real problem for quite a number of weeks.

florida seems to be the seat of the problem with 100,000 acres affected, but widely across the southern states of the usa, that 2 million figure is about four times would you would expect that this time of the year. the severe drought of a third of florida is not helping. some violent thunderstorms further north and some very violent thunderstorms moving their way towards the lakes. these could turn into tornadoes. we will keep a close eye on that. let's move on to the bay of bengal where to the court of the weekend we had a site can develop. the remnants of that are producing a lot of rain. there will be a lot of heat across the northwest quarter of india and into pakistan. temperatures here well in excess of a0 degrees and the indian authorities have a number of highest level warnings for that

heatwave across rajasthan and many of the neighbouring states. in the bangladesh, the problem here is a violent thunderstorm. there is some spring warmth to be had in southern parts of europe with temperatures well above par. go further north and these are the daytime maximums for tuesday, locked in single figures thanks to a big area of high pressure feeding cold air in across scandinavia and into the northern parts of europe. some of that cold airfeeding into this parts of europe. some of that cold air feeding into this system to produce a lot of rain into the adriatic and the balkans. closer to home, we will have an area of high pressure covering the bulk of the british isles. thomas will be here inafew british isles. thomas will be here in a few minutes to give you the details of the uk forecast. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. let's look through some of the main stories here in the bbc newsroom: north korea has told the bbc it's prepared to launch a nuclear strike if the united states decides to attack it.

if the us is reckless enough to use military means, it would mean from that very day an all—out war. our nuclear weapons protect us from that threat. president erdogan has dismissed criticisms of turkey's referendum by international monitors. we've been looking at the ambitions of the countries powerful president. in georgia, a seat in congress will be selected tomorrow, and president trump is a key factor in how people are voting. this is a moment we need to stand up and makea this is a moment we need to stand up and make a statement about the kind of politics we want. this whole game has been changed across the country.
