welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is gavin grey. our top stories: the un security council imposes a billion dollars worth of sanctions on north korea over its nuclear and missile programmes. these sanctions will cut deep and in doing so will give the north korean leadership a taste of the deprivation they have chosen to inflict on the north korean people. venezuela's chief prosecutor is fired by the new constituent assembly, she says it wants to stop her investigating corruption. italian police have arrested a thirty—year—old polish man accused of drugging and kidnapping a british model in milan to sell in an online auction. also in the programme, a shock result at the world athletics championships in usain bolt‘s final 100 metre race. 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. the sanctions aim to deprive pyongyang of more than one billion dollars a year in export earnings. from the un in new york, 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. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the us secretary of state is in the philippines for the summit of the association of southeast asian nations. rex tillerson will be joined there by the north korean foreign minister. the state department said there were no plans for the two to meet privately. last week, mr tillerson said the united states had no desire to topple its government. campaigning in the kenyan general election has officially closed ahead of tuesday's vote, with the two front—runners holding theirfinal rallies. president uhuru kenyatta led his jubilee party supporters in prayer. his main challenger, raila odinga, leader of the national super alliance party, addressed his followers in the capital, nairobi. the iranian president, hassan rouhani, has warned the united states against jeopardising its nuclear deal with world powers, saying president trump risks political suicide.

gavin lee, bbc news, sicily. 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.

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's a very 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. president trump is beginning a 17—day golfing holiday, but his russian counterpart valdimir putin, had more energetic pursuits in mind, for his summer break. the russian president made a three day trip to the siberian wilderness and he's been showing off his fishing, snorkelling and quad biking skills. and once again baring his chest for the cameras. sarah rainsford reports. it's russia, it's summer, so it's time for vladimir putin's photo—shoot. and this year, the action—man president went fishing in siberia. it ran for ten minutes on state television.

"i had to shoot twice," he admits, finally surfacing with his catch. after notching up 17 years in power, russia's leader is a dab hand at such stunts. he once took to the skies as a human crane. he is regularly snapped on his skates. and horseriding is another action—man favourite for the judo black belt. this year, too, it was all about vladimir putin, the macho man, even at 64. the strong leader, ready as ever to stand up to the west. and, never shy of revealing a bit of flesh, mr putin took a moment to flex his muscles in the siberian sunshine.

"now that's good fishing," he tells his entourage. he also suggests he is preparing to run for president again next march, despite refusing to confirm it officially. no—one here doubts he would win. but this was a bid to boost his rating, in any case, with cameras poised to capture his every triumph. sarah rainsford, bbc news, 0scar. a reminder of our top story: in an unanimous vote, the un security council has approved new sanctions against north korea. the measures will hit pyongyang's trade in coal and iron — exports worth more than $1 billion dollars a year. the us ambassador to the un nikki haley said the sanctions would cut deep and give north korea's leadership a taste of the deprivation they inflicted on their own people. this is bbc news. the dangerous heatwave continues
