will be dry for most of us. there it will be dry for most of us. there will be a scattering of showers at times over the weekend. more details online. hello, i'm karin giannone, welcome to outside source. an urgent meeting of the un security council is taking place — and the us has delivered a stark warning to north korea. there actions are quickly closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. the united states is prepared to use the full range of oui’ prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. meanwhile donald trump has berated china for its lack of action on dealing with north korea. britain's defence secretary has echoed that call. there is more that china can do, and needs to do, to get the regime to start responding. sanctions on qatar from some of the middle east's biggest countries will continue — after the gulf state rejects demands imposed by its neighbours. president trump will shortly be arriving in poland — we'll explain why that's his first stop before the 620 summit begins.

and if you want to get in touch at any time, the hashtag #bbcos is the place to go. welcome to outside source. you saw the pictures of donald trump getting into our force the pictures of donald trump getting into ourforce onejust the pictures of donald trump getting into our force one just than to leave the us for poland, this is the scene in warsaw. you can see that as the sun sets in poland, air force one has landed. he is en route to the 620 one has landed. he is en route to the g20 summit in germany but has stopped off in poland, choosing it over more powerful american allies

in europe like germany, france or even the uk, and will meet the polish president on thursday. we will talk about this plenty more in the programme in the next few minutes. the un security council has just begun an emergency meeting in response to north korea's recent test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. here's what the us ambassador to the un had to say. make no mistake, north korea's launch of an icbm is a clear and sharp military escalation. the north korean regime openly states that its missiles are intended to deliver nuclear weapons to strike cities in the united states, south korea and japan. now it has greater capacity to do so. in truth, it is not only the united states and our allies that are threatened. north korea's destabilising escalation is a threat to all nations, in the region and beyond. there actions are quickly

closing off the possibility of a diplomatic solution. the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. we'll head to the un in a moment, but first let's recap on the reaction we had earlier today — in particular the american and south korean response. these are pictures from a joint missile drill carried out by the two countries. it happened in the sea ofjapan. south korean president moonjae—in said responding with a statement wasn't enough and that actions needed to be shown. we also got this from north korean leader kim jong—un. he said the launch was "a gift to the american bastards." that drew this from the us general based in south korea, vincent brooks — "self—restraint, which is a choice, is all that separates armistice and war." here's the british defence secretary, michael fallon, on the issue. well, strategic patience, as it was

called, clearly has not worked. the missile programme continues. it is clearly something we have to reconsider. we do think there is more diplomacy to be done, first in the united nations, work has begun their already this week, and looking at the resolutions and whether they are being properly enforced. but there is also work to be done to continue to bring china even more closely into the game, they have the most influence on north korea. there is more that china can do and needs to do to get the regime to start responding. uk defence secretary michael fallon, there. donald trump's response to this latest escalation by north korea was to take aim at china for what he deems a lack of pressure on north korea. this is his tweets... "trade between china and north korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. so much for china working with us — but we had to give it a try!" nada tawfik is at the united nations in new york.

how much frustration to use and there is china? certainly when you heard from council members there was a call for united security council action to be tougher on north korea, calling for the sanctions already passed to be fully implemented, because the sanctions so far have much really done it enough to change the calculus of kim jong un, much really done it enough to change the calculus of kimjong un, to much really done it enough to change the calculus of kim jong un, to stop his path towards nuclear reservation. sir ambassador nikki haley, the us ambassador, called out china and said it is north korea's main trading partner, making up for 90% of the academy, and in a kind of veiled threat she said that countries who violated un sanctions and trade with north korea would have trade cut off with the united states. lots of frustration from the us ambassador in her statement that

what has been done in the security council so far is not working. she reiterated that they would be open to all options, including military, but they would prefer not to and the window for a diplomatic solution was closing. tension with regard to china but unity over raw with regard to condemning north korea? you heard from everybody that they think it is a threat to international peace and security, the idea of denuclearisation of the entire world and if north korea goes forward it could embolden others. but everyone understands the threat that this missile launch was a milestone representing an improvement in north korea's arsenal, even though they don't have, experts think, for a few yea rs don't have, experts think, for a few years yet they will not be able to have a nuclear tipped missile. this could hit alaska, many believe. there was a sense of urgency today

in the security council, calling for more to be done to put pressure on north korea. several countries, western countries, japan as well, supporting the us called the sanctions, saying this is not a time to bargain with north korea, this is not a time for dialogue, as china and russia have suggested, the time to look at what else they can do to make sure the sanctions are being followed through. how difficult a position as china in? it wants to keep the pressure all put more pressure on north korea but at the same time does not want to push it too far? absolutely, and we have seen too far? absolutely, and we have seen china engage with the united states. for those who do not know, the us and china work on resolutions and circulated to the other members. last year we had two resolutions with sanctions, this year a0 north korean individuals and two north korean individuals and two north korean ncds were added to the sanctions blacklist, they had travel bans, as it freezes. on the other

hand you saw a vehicle where the missile was launched off, that was a chinese vehicle given to north korea for logging and instead it was used in its military operation, so the un panel of experts has called chine outfit. china does not want to see instability in the region, that is where the calculation has to come from. thank you very much, nada tawfik. an estimated 12 million people are on the move across west and central africa every year. that's according to a new report by unicef. if you take a look at this map, those thick orange lines show all the routes people take across the continent. nigeria to europe is a journey being made more and more. nigerians are now the third largest group of illegal migrants trying to enter europe. stephanie hegarty reports from nigeria for the bbc — we asked her why so many feel the need to leave. the journey from here thejourney from here in lagos all the way to europe, for illegal

migrants, is long and difficult. the reasons they are going quite straightforward, there just are reasons they are going quite straightforward, therejust are not enoughjobs here. straightforward, therejust are not enough jobs here. the straightforward, therejust are not enoughjobs here. the country straightforward, therejust are not enough jobs here. the country has beenin enough jobs here. the country has been in recession for over a year, prices are rising still and although things are getting better it is still very tough for people. the official statistics on unemployment say it is about ia.2% but likely to bea say it is about ia.2% but likely to be a lot higher. even officially, one infour be a lot higher. even officially, one in four young people are out of work, so it is not a surprise that they are the group of people most likely to go. in other parts of the country it is even more common to find people travelling to europe. there are adverts everywhere for courses or there are adverts everywhere for courses oi’ visas to there are adverts everywhere for courses or visas to take you to the uk, europe, america. many are scams. there is also a driving underground industry of traffickers. for as little as $500 you can get all the way to the libyan border. the most surprising thing be found, speaking to lots of people who have gone, is that many are graduates. it is

simple economics, what they earn here, they can get almost 50 times that in europe. but the journey to europe and libya is getting a lot more expensive and for that reason many have returned. there have been plain fools of nigerians who have come back from libya, sponsored by the international organisation for migration, they have told horrific tales of what has happened to them. kidnapped for ransom and indentured servitude are on the rise. so many of our friends and relatives, so many of our loved ones. some are dead. the vast majority we spoke to know it is dangerous, they know it isa know it is dangerous, they know it is a risk. that is a mark ofjust how frustrated people are here. there are so few opportunities that some are even willing to die trying. unicef says 75% of migrants from west and central africa end theirjourney in another african country. but the remaining 25% could very well end up on these sea routes, heading to europe. yesterday on outside source we were talking about the increasing pressure italy is under due to the increase in

migrants coming in. you can see from that cluster of yellow lines how many of these routes end in italy. yalda hakim has been to sicily to look into this — here's her report. a flimsy inflatable dinghy full of migrants is adrift in the open sea. around 30 miles from the libyan coast. they have no fuel, no water and no food. so far this year, more than 80,000 people from different countries have arrived. around 2000 have drowned. but the vast majority are not refugees fleeing war, but those in search of a better life. most will stay in italy. not everyone is

welcoming to migrants coming to europe. this is a promo video from a group calling themselves the identity aryan movement. made up of mainly young, tech savvy members, they have been described as the hipster writer. their aim is to campaign against immigration. i had heard that the group was developing plans for further action. we think that in every city where multiculturalism is present, there is radical islam and violence regarding illegal immigrants. you say you do not want them in those waters, you want them to stop. they say if they stop, more lives will be lost. the evidence is false. those people are coming to europe because they know someone will save them. the missions are coordinated by the italian coastguard, but the

country's legal system has launched two investigations into whether they are saving lives or merely assisting illegal immigrants on theirjourney. since last september this boat has rescued more than a000 migrants at sea, including over 500 children. they do need a pull factor, they are pushing these people out, come what may, and if they are not that —— we're not there, they will drown. may, and if they are not that —— we're not there, they will drownm is estimated that a quarter of a million migrants this year will make the perilous journey from million migrants this year will make the perilousjourney from libya million migrants this year will make the perilous journey from libya to italy, and the solution to this crisis? no end in sight. stay with us on outside source — still to come... donald trump has landed in warsaw

ahead of the g20's and in germany on friday. we will bring you the latest. —— the cheap 20 summit in germany. the new leader of kensington and chelsea council has reiterated her apology to residents of grenfell tower, saying it was not there at the time it was most needed. police have been updating residents about several issues, including recovery work at grunfeld. the government has ordered a task force be put into place to run key areas of the council, including housing. andy murray explained the components of the new force and the need for its creation for the residents. this is something for the long term, it will ta ke something for the long term, it will take over from the grenfell response tea m take over from the grenfell response team working at the moment, a multi—agency team, local government, central government, the red cross, the fire brigade and police working together to help residents. that is

for the short term. the idea is that this recovery task force will take over that job, hopefully with this recovery task force will take over thatjob, hopefully with a smooth transition, and take on some of the more difficult tasks that are clearly the council has been failing on. i'm karen june only, i'm karenjune only, you're watching outside source live from the bbc newsroom. the top story... the un security council is holding an emergency meeting following north korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. the us described the incident as a new escalation in the threat. other stories being reported on around the bbc... heavy rain and overflowing rivers in southern japan have forced almost a00,000 people to leave their homes. japan's meteorological agency has called the rain unprecedented, urging local residents to follow evacuation orders. that's on bbc world service. emirates airlines say a cabin ban on laptops no longer applies on their flights to the united states. in march, the us banned cabin

laptops and other large electronic devices to and from eight mostly muslim nations, fearing devices may be concealed in them. the airline says it has worked with us authorities to meet new security rules. that's on bbc arabic. donald trump has arrived in poland in the last few minutes on his way to the #bbcos summit in hamburg in germany on friday. —— the g20 summit. this is the scene, air force one is taxing. poland sees this as a diplomatic coup, he is going to poland first instead of perhaps a larger european ally like germany or britain. there are several takes on white donald trump is heading to: first of all. he is sure to get a

warm reception. anthony zurcher is in washington. why do you think donald trump is heading to poland first of all?” think the ruling party in poland, the law and justice party, is considered an ideological soul mate with donald trump is my great wing populism in the united states. it is a coup for poland, donald trump is guaranteed a warm reception, i think he sees it as a place where he will aid be able to lay out his vision for europe and foreign policy which i think the lines a lot with the current polish leadership, questioning migration policy, sony euroscepticism. it is a soft landing

for the president before going into what will be a much more harsh reception from angela merkel in germany. it certainly looks like it will be a friendly audience given that we are hearing a certain number of representatives of fans per mp will be bussed in from around the country? i believe 50 people from all over the various constituencies in poland will be bussed in. in the past, american presidents, i remember george w bush gave a speech in poland and got a very warm welcome, i think the polish people have very positive views of the us in general and possibly donald trump in particular, particularly with his audience and the hand selected folks coming in from all over the country. and apparently the polish catholic church, which is very influential, has put out the word to try to drum up has put out the word to try to drum up support and turnout. it will be a key speech for donald trump, there are rumours about what could be in the speech, who is writing it. if

you remember when he was last in europe and gave a speech at nato, originally it was meant to be fairly conciliatory, talking about the mutual defence agreement, the nato accord, he backed off that and never specifically endorsed article five, the mutual defence pact portion of nato. now the question is whether he will be conciliatory or give more of this populist red meat he has been known for on the campaign trail. aster warsaw, to hamburg for the g20 and the thing everybody is looking at that will be happening on the sidelines, donald trump meeting vladimir putin? this will be a formal bilateral meeting, we have been told. originally there was discussion about it being an aside from the formal meetings, but this will be a sit down, i think from what we have heard the discussion will primarily be about what to do

in syria, combating so—called islamic state and possibly ukraine. one thing we have heard that donald trump in particular will not talk about is any allegations of russian meddling in the 2016 us presidential election. i think a lot of people in the us would hope he brings it up, particularly his political opponents, but it does not look like that will be explicitly on the agenda. it will be fascinating. thank you very much, anthony zurcher in washington. we will have to wait and see. we will be live in hamburg from thursday. time for os business now. one of america's big three car—makers can finally see the end of the road for its huge losses in europe. the european commission has given the green light to general motors' sale of its european arm to france's psa group. it means the group behind peugeot and citroen will spend $2.5 billion our correspondent michelle fleury is in new york for us. why did gm sell opel? go back that

macro looking back to the 90s, it was the gm cash cow. but over the last 20 years it became a money pit for the company. if you look back there has been nothing but losses since 1999. given that financial backdrop, in some ways you could ask yourself why it did not happen sooner. yourself why it did not happen sooner. the other aspect is that the car—maker had to be bailed out by the us government. that was general motors, during the financial crisis. there have been more questions about what it will look like going forward. in terms of the investment in europe, some of that did not make sense, to create cleaner diesel engines required for the european market, according to the seoul, only 20% of that actually overlapped with the rest of the general motors portfolio —— according to the ceo.

in other words the technology in europe was not of much use in markets like the us, so then you saw how the numbers do not add up and they are using resources elsewhere. and what does this tell us about gm under the leadership of the ceo you just mentioned? i think the conclusion is that general motors is getting smaller, it is also getting more profitable. you are seeing it walk away from a whole region, at the time of the announcement that raised some eyebrows, it is no longer trying to compete to win the title of the world's largest car—maker but what wall street and investors seem to like is that it is positioning itself to win in a couple of friends. the driverless car market but also fast—growing markets like china and india. investors have ta ken markets like china and india. investors have taken it as a sign that general motors is willing to walk away from underperforming assets to focus on the future. that said, this is a company that it

owned for almost 80 years and could very well shaped the legacy of the current ceo. thank you, michelle fleu ry current ceo. thank you, michelle fleury in new york. india is the world's second largest producer of tobacco. the crop supports tens of millions ofjobs such as in the state of andhra pradesh. but anti—smoking campaigns backed by the world health organisation mean the government is trying to cut the industry back. here's sanjoy majumder. it's a crop that once made their fortunes. that india's tobacco farmers are now staring at potential ruin. as buyers inspect stock at a local auction, a distinct air of tension. india is one of the world's biggest tobacco producers, but it is under pressure to cut back. it is the effect of a global anti—tobacco campaign led by the world health organisation, which has been supported in india by the government. this part of southern india is where most of india's

tobacco is growing. it is part of the country which is really dry, it does not get much rainfall and the soil is very, very arid. the tobacco plant thrives in these conditions, which is why it is grown in such abundance, because for the farmer, the returns are really good. so the farmers see any move to reduce production is disastrous for them. translation: unless the government compensates us, translation: unless the government compensates us, or comes up translation: unless the government compensates us, or comes up with an alternative, it will be very difficult for us. we will be forced to migrate. reporter: there is little support for the farmers. every day, nearly a million indians die of tobacco related illnesses. —— every year. this has been highlighted through a very visible campaign. smoking can cost you your health. in the government has raised taxes and introduced a cap on production.

tobacco is your great —— your gateway drug. it is the first drug that any child or any young person uses. if we stop production and stop exporter of tobacco, the whole world will thank us for it. farmers are being asked to switch to other crops, but the returns are poor. let's go back to warsaw, because donald trump's plane, air force one, is about to get off. he is visiting europe, it is the g20 summit in hamburg in germany on friday but on his way to germany donald trump has landed in warsaw. he will meet the polish president. it is a real coup for poland because he has chosen to go there to poland first, so early in his presidency, rather than

perhaps to a more traditional big ally like germany, france or britain. we will bring you more on that later. the uk outlook is on the way in the next half—hour. around the world, the weather is reverting to climatology, which means it is doing what it should do where it should do at this time of the year. we still have some extremes. flooding rains due to the monsoon across parts of asia, on the other extreme this heater that is still there across the us and parts of the middle east. the highest temperatures in the us are in the south—west, in arizona, where we still have wildfires raging. at least it is not windy, but there is no sign of any rain nor, indeed, across many western parts of north america. further east, very different. heavy rain stretches across georgia into kentucky towards virginia, heavy

thundery showers further north around the great la kes lakes and eastern canada. wet weather across central america. one area that should not be too wet at this time of year, around the river plate, buenos aires and montevideo, but heavy rain is forecast on thursday and into friday. across the southern oceans into australasia and most of australia will be dry on thursday with winter sunshine. wet and windy weather for the north island of new zealand. across new zealand, july is the coldest time of year, but these temperatures are a couple of degrees below average for this time of year. wet weather in beijing, the wettest month of the year, but that amount of rain on thursday, 100, maybe more, millimetres, is about half a month's rain in 2a to 30 others, so flooding as possible. this band of heavy rain will sweep eastwards towards the korean peninsula by the end of the week. lots of rain across south asia chuter south—westerly monsoon, which

is about where it should be at this time of year. one area of heavy rain, mumbai and goa, it is not the best time of year to go on holiday in goa. across the northern plains from delhi towards the north—eastern states of india, there has been some flooding back, more heavy rain there, as there will be in the amat. no rain across the middle east, it has been about the heat here recently. not as hot as it has been in egypt but desperately hard, 50 degrees also, in iran. and humidity in the united arab emirates, it will feel particularly uncomfortable. these are the reins in africa, where they should be at this time of the year. dry across south africa with sunshine, a bit blurry for a time. windy weather across the north—east of europe, likely to be some rain. the main focus of the rain on thursday and perhaps into friday will be across siberia. again in response to heat and humidity, those storms could trigger flash flooding, notably around madrid. for much of

central europe, dry and warm in the sunshine. hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. an urgent meeting of the un security council is taking place. it's in response to north korea's testing of a long range missile. the us ambassador to the un has delivered a stark warning to north korea. their actions are quickly closing off the possibility for a diplomatic solution. the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. sanctions on qatar from some of the middle east's biggest countries will continue — after the gulf state rejects demands imposed by its neighbours. we're not doing this because we want to hurt qatar, we want to help cat
