the united nations security council has voted unanimously to impose tough new sanctions against north korea. the resolution was drafted by the united states, and comes in response to two long—range ballistic missile tests last month. nick bryant reports. this was a show of ambition and menace. north korea last month testing an intercontinental ballistic missile that appeared capable of reaching the american mainland, west coast cities such as los angeles, and even beyond. it is this kind of brinkmanship that has intensified diplomacy at the united nations security council, and led to a deal between the united states and china, north korea's ally, to impose tough new sanctions. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. these sanctions will cut deep, and in doing so, will give the north korean leadership a taste of the depravation they have chosen

to inflict on the north korean people. every country must ensure that these measures are adhered to. every country must live up to our word. this time, there is too much at stake. we simply cannot afford to fail. most of north korea's export trade goes across this border, into china, and pyongyang could be deprived of roughly a third of its export income, the sanctions hitting its trade in coal, iron and seafood. but they don't limit oil deliveries, a move that would have a crippling effect on the economy, and potentially a collapsing effect on the pyongyang regime. translation: we hope the parties will immediately take action to prevent further escalation, and create the conditions for the resumption of talks, and to bring the nuclear issue on the peninsula back on the right track, seeking a peaceful solution through dialogue and consultation. this week, the pentagon conducted its own test of an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile,

proof, it said, that america is ready and able to deter, detect and defend against attacks. last weekend, in another show of force aimed at the leadership in pyongyang, america flew supersonic bombers over the korean peninsula. but, as well as displaying its military hardware, the trump administration has indicated it might be willing to conduct talks with north korea. these sanctions increase the pressure on pyongyang to enter into dialogue. so far, sanctions have failed, and most intelligence analysts here believe that north korea won't come to the negotiating table until it has proven beyond any doubt that it not only has a missile that could reach the us mainland, but a missile that could be armed with a nuclear warhead. nick bryant, bbc news, at the united nations. venezuela's opposition groups say the country's institutions have been taken hostage, after the country's top prosecutor was sacked. luisa ortega is a vocal critic of president maduro. will grant reports from caracas. it didn't take long for venezuela's

chief prosecutor to feel the consequences of her opposition towards the constituent assembly. just hours after the controversial new legislative body was sworn in, miss ortega's office was surrounded by their security forces. she posted photographs onto her twitter account of national guardsmen in riot gear, and said she denounced the siege in front of the national and international community. a prominent member of the new assembly, the country's former foreign minister delcy rodriguez, indicated such high—profile opponents could expect swift action when she spoke at her swearing—in ceremony. more broadly, the chief prosecutor has become a serious obstacle to mr maduro since she abandoned her support for his government. first, she led a national outcry after the supreme court briefly took

control of the powers of the opposition—led national assembly. since the constituent assembly was proposed, she has consistently denounced it publicly, and brought legal action to halt its advance. stay with us here on bbc news. still to come: a shock result at the world athletics championships, as usain bolt takes bronze in his last individual 100m race before retirement. lets get more on our top story. the un security council approval for new sanctions on north korea. our correspondent yogita limaye is in the south korean capital, seoul, for us. has there been any reaction from north korea? well, it is sunday morning here and we haven't had a reaction yet as far as this resolution is concerned it is significant because it aims to cut

the exports from north korea by about $1 billion. coal is the biggest export for north korea, extremely important. and this un sanction bans the export of coal from north korea. will it actually stop the missile testing? now, that is the big question. china, which is north korea's biggest trade partner, already stopped importing coalfrom north korea in february and coal exports from north korea have since then dropped dramatically, which has been affecting the country financially. but we have still seen the missile testing going on. there we re the missile testing going on. there were two tests in july the missile testing going on. there were two tests injuly alone. the missile testing going on. there were two tests in july alone. now, there is a meeting currently across there is a meeting currently across the association of southeast asian nations, that is in the philippines. rex tillerson, the us secretary of state, what do we know about the reaction of other asian countries and neighbours to north korea? well, yesterday we did see a asean statement being put out, with asean

members expressing grave concerns about the escalating tensions in the korean peninsula and calling on north korea to do their bit to try and reduce these tensions. it was in and reduce these tensions. it was in a strongly worded as perhaps the us would have liked it to be. rex tillerson is there and has been trying to pressure other countries in southeast asia to isolate north korea, but this is a really interesting meeting because there is going to be the us secretary of state, there is going to be the north korean foreign minister, also the south korean foreign minister. the south korean foreign minister, in fact, has said that she is willing to she is willing to talk to north korea. north korea has been criticising the us anti—missile defence system that is, as we speak, being established here in south korea. thank you very much for joining us. police in italy are investigating the kidnapping of a british model who was held captive for nearly a week. the young woman, who hasn't been named, had been in milan for what she thought was a photo shoot. detectives say she was drugged and attempts were made

to try to sell her on the internet. a polish man who lives in britain has been arrested. catriona renton reports. the 20—year—old model arrived in milan for a photo shoot in one of these apartments in the city centre. it is said that this is where she was attacked by two men and was drugged. police have reconstructed how she was put into a bag and then bundled into the boot of a car. it was driven to an abandoned shop on the outskirts of the city, then to this cottage in the mountains near turin. translation: the victim was drugged with ketamine. then she was locked in a bag and carried for hours in a car. we can only imagine what might have happened if she had had an asthma attack. it is understood, while she was at the cottage, the woman was handcuffed to a chest of drawers. her kidnapper is alleged to have tried to sell her for sex online

and demanded a ransom of over $350,000 from her agent. after six days she was released, though no ransom was paid, reportedly because the kidnapper found out she had a child. translation: the perpetrator is a dangerous person. keep in mind he introduced himself as somebody willing to provide final solutions, both as a paid killer and as part of an organisation works in the dark web, offering mercenary services, bomb attacks, kidnappings and so on. lukasz herba, a polish man said to be resident in britain, has been arrested. it has been reported this happened after he was seen taking the woman to the british consulate. the uk foreign office said they had been providing consular support to a british woman in italy. this is a story that pulls into sharp focus the potential dangers for young people trying to get on in the modelling industry. catriona renton, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: campaigning in the kenyan general election has officially closed ahead of tuesday's vote,

with the two front—runners holding their final rallies. president uhuru kenyatta led his jubilee party supporters in prayer. his main challenger, raila 0dinga, leader of the national super alliance party, addressed his followers in the capital, nairobi. in rwanda, supporters of president paul kagame have been celebrating, after he won a third term in office with a landslide victory. the electoral commission said partial results of friday's election gave mr kagame 98%% of the votes. the iranian president, hassan rouhani, has warned the united states against jeopardising its nuclear deal with world powers, saying president trump risks political suicide. mr rouhani was speaking at his inauguration, after being elected for a second term in may. he said iran would respect the terms of the deal as long as the other signatories did the same. at least five people have died as large parts of southern europe and the balkans endure

unprecedented hot weather. the severe heatwave has affected a huge area, bringing with it drought and forest fires. from sicily, gavin lee reports. scorching times for sicily. with records temperatures, the island's grapes suddenly need to be harvested weeks early. but working in the fields in 43 degrees is brutal. translation: today, unfortunately, the temperature was so high, we had to tell the workers to come back later, when it's cooler. we all suffer. the machines suffer, the vineyard suffers. the fight here against the sun to save the grape and wine industry is reflected in vineyards across europe. but the wider impact has led some governments to warn people to stay

indoors in the afternoon because of the threat to public health. in the balkans, authorities have been advising people to stay indoors and increase their water intake. in hungary, it is about keeping cool and carrying on, and there is strong advice from hungarian officials. translation: if you know any elderly people, ask them if they need any help, and offer to do their shopping instead for them. don't let them go to the market in this heat. we also draw your attention to adequate fluid replacement for children and infants. he says it is very hot where he is — marseille, france. it is a0 degrees. staying hydrated while travelling has been a key message here. this is galicia, in northern spain, flames turning the sky red and shutting highways. here in sicily, the usually packed summer streets look more like ghost towns. for those hoping for a break from europe's heatwave, temperatures are expected to return

to some normality late next week. this is something scientists predict we should get used to, though, suggesting global warming will lead to more of us being exposed to increased extreme weather patterns in the years to come. gavin lee, bbc news, sicily. while europe's heatwave has at least another week, scientists have given a grim forecast for extreme weather in the future. a study published in the lancet health journal says that by the end of the century 150,000 people in europe would die yearly because of the weather. the study comes as the united states officially informed the un that it will pull out of the paris climate agreement. sarah—jane bungay reports. it makes for the grimmest of weather warnings. deaths from weather disasters could increase 50—fold across europe by the start of next century.

from flooding to wildfires, heatwaves, wind storms, droughts and cold snaps, scientists at the european commission joint research centre looked at the effects of seven of the most dangerous weather events. across europe, those events we do to 3,000 deaths a year between 1981 and 2010. in the future, that figure could increase dramatically. the report says global warming needs to be curbed as a matter of urgency, adding population change will play only a marginal role in the number of people affected when compared to climate change. it comes as the first written confirmation was delivered to the un that america still intends to withdraw from the paris climate change agreement, an agreement president trump says would punish his country, costing millions of american jobs. this president is putting america first, like when he announced that the united states officially today notified the united nations

that we are withdrawing from the paris climate accord. but washington added it would remain in the talks process over climate change, in a bid to seek a better deal for the american people. our main headline: the un votes unanimously to impose new tougher sanctions on north korea after last month's long—range missile tests. the man believed to be the world's greatest ever sprinter, usain bolt, has ina greatest ever sprinter, usain bolt, has in a shock result failed to win his final individual 100 metre race at the world athletics championships in london. the 30—year—old jamaican and a time 0lympic in london. the 30—year—old jamaican and a time olympic champion came third, beaten by americanjustin gatlin. 0ur sports correspondent watch the action. the day began with a thunderstorm which gave way to blue skies. jamaica's fans made to feel at home in london as they geared up for what they believed would be

their hero's fairytale ending. last run, last time, going to be a great loss to the sport but we're going to be here with him on the last lap. i wouldn't say i'm confident, i'm overconfident! i know he will win! when he finishes it will be a celebration and it's going to go on all night and all morning. by the evening, the night sky was crackling with expectation. they saved the bolt for last. but the warning signs had been there, beaten for the first time in four years in the semi—final by young american christian coleman. bolt‘s starts had been shaky. commentator: and they blast away and coleman gets a brilliant start in lane number five. bolt is chasing him through.

he has to dig into the reservoir of greatness. it's coleman, then bolt, coleman gets him on the line. the disbelief swept around the stadium. this wasn't in the script. there would be no 12th world title, there would be no dream goodbye. the crowd made it more than clear what they thought of the result. bolt was their darling, gatlin their pantomime villain. a two—times drug cheat now a three—times world champion. bolt has rarely had to settle for second best, let alone third, but he bows out having transcended his sport, his legacy secure. natalie pirks, bbc news, at the london stadium. after the race, our sports editor dan roan asked usain bolt‘s father for his reaction to the result. yes, i am a little bit sad. but it happens sometimes. i was doubtful he would win the race. by finishing third, ijust have to accept the result. do you think it would have been better

to retire after rio? not really. i was trying to persuade him to go for one more year. but he said it is time to go. he was right? he was right. what happens now with usain bolt? what role can he play going forward? i don't know. i think you must try and do something in the athletic field. but i am not sure what he is going to do. how did he take defeat? he looked 0k. a lap of honour. he said sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. in his mind, he knew he was going to lose one day. that is why he was trying to leave. injamaica, people were out in the streets to watch the 100 metre final. with the last four championship

won by a jamaican, it's normally a night of celebrations. here's the reaction from kingston. gatlin beat him! can't believe, man! gatlin beat him, 9.92. he crossed the line and he's made jamaica proud, and he's the best thing to happen to track and field ever. we love him and we support him no matter what. thousands of brazilian army troops have raided slums in rio dejaneiro in a crackdown on criminal gangs. their main goal was to stop gangs behind a surge in brazen robberies of commercial trucks. the authorities say there were 10,000 cargo thefts last year. the swoop ended with the arrests of 18 people and the deaths of two more. greg dawson reports. searched going in, searched going out. these troops are looking for drugs and weapons. this is the new reality for residents of rio's favellas, all part of the military‘s newly

launched operation to get a grip on the criminal gangs overwhelming this city. it's not just those on foot being searched, with roadblocks also in force as troops try to stop a recent surge in robberies of commercial trucks. translation: they break the trucks, they steal money. it's traumatic. those of us with more experience are used to it but some drivers give up theirjobs because of what's going on in rio. it's been a week since the military was deployed across the city with the police unable to cope with the growing levels of violence. the focus of the crackdown is rio's favellas. five separate neighbourhoods were targeted on saturday with many residents saying they woke to the sound of gunfire. 18 people were arrested during the raids, two were killed. "the military calm us," says this woman.

"there are so many robberies, so many shootouts. with the military we feel more secure." many residents have complained, though, that their neighbourhood now resembles a war zone but the government says the troops are here to stay until the end of the year at the earliest. this in a week that rio marks exactly a year since the opening of its olympic games. the atmosphere of celebration now a distant memory. greg dawson, bbc news. many women in the developing world die because the equipment needed to stop bleeding during childbirth isn't available. but a small kit containing a condom has been developed in the us by massachusetts general hospital and is being distributed to places such as kenya. its thought that it could save hundreds of thousands of lives. richard kenny from bbc‘s world hacks team explains. every two minutes around the world, a woman dies

in pregnancy or childbirth. the most common cause is severe bleeding or post—partum haemorrhage. the solution is normally something called a uterine balloon tamponade device, but it's too expensive for hospitals such as this one in nairobi. a new version called the "every second matters ubt kit" containing just a condom, a catheter, and a syringe, costs less than $5. we have saved three lives with these, women who are bleeding so much, and once we started using it, she stopped bleeding. the kit is quick and easy to use. we put the catheter right inside the condom. we have to tie it. this is how it is tied. now let us assume this is now the uterus. you can put it using your fingers. it goes inside. you can see the way the balloon is coming up. it is bigger the balloon is, the is better.

it causes a lot of pressure within the uterus to stop the bleeding. grace is a midwife at a local centre. every day she helps deliver babies. nurses are now being trained how to use the kit across africa. early last year we had a patient who delivered. and then a few minutes after the placenta was removed, she started pouring blood like water. it was pouring non—stop. and that is the time i remembered, "oh, i have the ubt, i should use it." she became stable. she left the hospital with a baby. she was happy patient. tests have shown the kit has a 97% success rate if used properly, which could save hundreds of thousands of women's lives

across the world. richard kenny, bbc news, nairobi. the prime minister of the irish republic, leo varadkar, says it's "only a matter of time," before same—sex marriage is introduced in northern ireland, the only part of the uk, where it's banned. mr varadkar spoke while attending a gay pride event in belfast, from wherejohn campbell reports. this could be the single biggest parade in northern ireland this year. a sign of changing times. uniformed police officers were taking part for the first time. today is about inclusion and representation for the police service of northern ireland. we represent all sections of society. leo varadkar shows the change which has happened in the republic of ireland. he is the country's first openly gay prime minister. the state he leads voted to allow same—sex marriage two years ago, but in northern ireland,

it's still outlawed. # it's raining men, hallelujah... mr varadkar said he had come to this event as a gesture of solidarity and expected the law will change here. i think it's only a matter of time. it is, of course, a decision for the northern ireland assembly, but i'm confident that, like other western european countries, they will make that decision in due course. those comments were welcomed by pride organisers. northern ireland is still lagging behind the rest of the uk in terms of laws that have been enacted there and they are still not enacted here. it's time we as a community demand change, we demand the same rights as the rest of the united kingdom. the devolved administration, which will have to make a decision on marriage laws here, is currently suspended, because of a dispute between the dup and sinn fein. but during the last period of government, the dup were able to veto a measure which would have

led to same—sex marriage. mr varadkar‘s intervention may increase the pressure to change the law. but this is a society where religious conservatives remain influential. and that change will be resisted. john campbell, bbc news, belfast. a reminder of our top story. the un has voted unanimously to impose new tougher sanctions on north korea after last month's long—range missile tests. the weather now with helen willetts. hello there. saturday brought with it some intense downpours, showers with hail and thunder. equally, we had some stunning photos. this is my favourite, a double rainbow in aberdeenshire, but plenty with menacing clouds, this was through the afternoon from kent. all those showers just about died out through the night, and it is chilly.

10—11 in towns and cities, single figures to start the morning in rural areas, some frost if you are up early enough. that high—pressure hanging on in the east today, that will start to bring some rain into northern ireland fairly quickly through the morning hours. a brisk south—westerly wind driving that rain eastwards into western scotland, in the afternoon, pushing across the irish sea into england and wales. the east will be best as we go through sunday. come the afternoon, the rain should have blown away from northern ireland. a few showers, but the sun will come out. we may not see that many showers east of the grampians, certainly not in northeastern scotland and the northern isles until later in the day. a fairly damp afternoon for parts of north—western england and wales. cloud in the south—west, possibly a few showers. by and large, for central and eastern parts of england, it should stay dry, bright and warm with some hazy sunshine. very usable weather, looks to stay dry for

the world athletics championships in london. because the football is taking place at wembley, the community shield should be dry as well. however, it won't always be driest in the east through the week. through sunday evening, that rain staggers to a halt as you can see across central parts of the uk. that weather front weakening, behind it, brisk wind and some showers. tied in with low pressure, generating some heavy showers at times. quite dreary stuck underneath that weather front, but to the south—east of that, still dry and reasonably warm, if not cloudy. brighter with showers to the north and west. then things starting to change. low pressure moving out of the north sea, picking up low pressure. in the south, heavy and thundery rain. dragging our winds down from the north. a strong wind, look at those tightly packed isoba rs. it looks as if by the middle

part of the week, it could be the west that is best. for many of us, heavy rain and showers, strong wind at times which will make it feel quite cool. this is bbc news. the headlines: the un security council has voted unanimously to impose tough new sanctions against north korea. the resolution comes in response to two long—range ballistic missile tests last month. the sanctions aim to deprive pyongyang of more than $1 billion a year in export earnings. venezuela's new constituent assembly has sacked the country's chief prosecutor. luisa 0rtega is an outspoken government critic. she says she has been stopped from investigating alleged corruption and human rights abuses. 0pposition groups say the country's institutions have been taken hostage. usain bolt has been beaten in his last individual 100m race

before he retires. the eight—time olympic champion finished with the bronze medal in a race won by americanjustin gatlin, who has served two separate drug bans. after the race, gatlin was booed by the crowd at london's 0lympic stadium. now on bbc news, john simpson tells the remarkable story of waheed arian, the doctor from chester whose life has been
