this is outside source. earlier, north korea said it would consider attacking the us territory of guam. kenya's electoral commission says its voting system is secure, that comes after the opposition candidate alleged it had been hacked. we will take you live to nairobi. more trouble for trump as reports surfaced that the house of the president's former campaign manager paul monfort was raided by the fbi two weeks ago. and if you wa nt to the fbi two weeks ago. and if you want to get in touch, the hashtag bbc 05. welcome to outside source. i want to

show you an extraordinary statement from the head of the worlds most powerful military, generaljim mathis has issued a statement from the pentagon that this warning. mathis said north korea should seize any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people. that follows sabre rattling reminders from the president himself, saying his first order as president was to renovate and modernise our nuclear arsenal. it is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before. the tough rhetoric comes than ever before. the tough rhetoric co m es after than ever before. the tough rhetoric comes after this statement on north korea's state television. with medium to long—range strategic ballistic rossouw ‘s —— sick

missiles, we have the ability to hit us air bases on guam. that followed donald trump was burst of anger when he said any further missile launchers from north korea would result in fire and fury like the world had never seen. all of this stemming from news reports that pyongyang may now possess the beauty to shrink any clear what had if it's a missile. let us bring up our map to show you the small island being threatened here, guam. it is roughly three and a half thousand kilometres from north korea and if we go in closer, you can see why it has been highlighted as a target by north korea. a naval base and an air force base where us strategic bombers are capped. itjust base where us strategic bombers are capped. it just so base where us strategic bombers are capped. itjust so happens the us secretary of state, the top diplomat, rex tillerson, has been visiting guam today. this is what he said. what the president was doing is sending a strong message to north korea in language kimjong—un would

understand, because he is not seem to understand diplomatic language. let's consider this a bit. we can pass to jane o'brien in washington for us,jane, pass to jane o'brien in washington for us, jane, you pass to jane o'brien in washington for us,jane, you might pass to jane o'brien in washington for us, jane, you might have expected the pentagon to try to row back a bit of the president has said. but no, quite the other way?” think it is all a matter of emphasis. i think there was a slight and nuanced change of language between what you heard the secretary of defencejim mathis say on the president, because the president was saying, warning north korea about threats. jim mathis is warning north korea of the consequence of its actions. it should stop actions which would lead to the destruction of its people and the collapse of the regime. talking about losing a war that it initiates. i think there isa war that it initiates. i think there is a slight change of emphasis, but yes, still very much emphasising this strong language, this strong deterrent language that we heard from donald trump. very different to

the diplomacy from rex tillerson, who is talking about diplomacy as being the way forward. it is working, we are seeing pressure from china, and that the end goalfor him is talks with pyongyang.” china, and that the end goalfor him is talks with pyongyang. i have had quite a lot of talk about the danger of backing north korea into a corner. i suppose the only way to avoid doing that is some sort of talks. that's right, and leaving north korea a way out, which is something else that rex tillerson brought up. the issue is that north korea does not seem to want to engage in any talks, it is rebuffing approaches from south korea in the last week or so, and there seems to be very little incentive for aid to wa nt to be very little incentive for aid to want to talk to the us, which it regards as an existential threat. there in lies the danger of the sort of rhetoric we are hearing from donald trump, because although his supporters say that it shows resolve and shrank, it could also be interpreted as preparing for a

military attack. we simply do not know which way the regime is going to ta ke know which way the regime is going to take it. further complicated by the fact there are no diplomatic relations between pyongyang and washington. there are no embassies, so washington. there are no embassies, so there is not that behind—the—scenes ambassador talk going on. it is all on open display, it is all coming from the horse's mouth, as it were. in this case from donald trump, apparently making spur of the moment comments on a very serious issue. this talk of possible pre—emptive military action, do we know how that is going down with the american public? i do think anyone thinks that military action is a good idea. certainly the white house is talking about it very much as a matter of last resort. there has been some criticism of this, donald trump has been criticised by members of his own party today for ratcheting up the rhetoric. it is

something that everybody would seek to avoid. according to rex tillerson again, the voice of moderation in all this, relatively speaking, he says he has seen nothing in the last 24 says he has seen nothing in the last 2a hours that would suggest any kind of imminent military action. thanks very much. china has experienced two earthquakes in the last 2a hours. the two quakes struck places on opposite sides of the country. an all—out rescue and recovery effort is now underway. 6.6 magnitude tremor struck the remote area, injuring 32 people. across the country, 19 people are confirmed to have been killed in an earthquake in sichuan province. the full extent of the damage still is not known. the aftermath of tuesday's earthquake still haunts rescue crews. more than

1000 after—shocks have been detected, some triggering landslides. a highway bound for a popular mountain tourist spot in this county was cut off, trapping more than 100 people. the road at self sustaining serious damage. the 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the cou nty 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the county just after 9pm local time 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the countyjust after 9pm local time on tuesday. up to 115,000 people have been evacuated from the damaged areas. the government has called for an all—out rescue and recovery effort, but the red cross society of china says it will still be some time before we know the extent of the damage and the number of casualties. 2000 kilometres away in the remote north—west, they are dealing with another serious earthquake. this one struck on wednesday morning, further stretching the country's resources. leaving hundreds more to spaced ——

leaving hundreds more displaced. six french soldiers have been injured, two seriously after a car was driven into them while they were on patrol in paris. counterterror police shot, wounded and arrested a man on a motorway north of the capital. our correspondentjonny diamond reports from paris. paramedics swarm around injured soldiers. just moments after a car ploughed into a military patrol. six soldiers were injured, three seriously, after the car, waiting for the men, accelerated sharply and knocked them down. residents looked on as the emergency services went to work. translation: i heard a loud noise and i looked out my window, i saw many people arriving. i saw the ambulance and the fire engine arriving and i didn't go out. it was a truly odious attack, said the neighbourhood mayor. to target soldiers who were here

to protect the french people. after a morning of intense investigation, the operation here is beginning to wind down. this is a quiet suburb, some distance from the bright lights and tourist sights of the city. this morning's attack a reminder, if one were needed, that france must remain on guard. translation: it's a problem for us french people because we don't feel safe. even foreigners do not feel safe in france. it ended with a hail of gunfire, the suspect‘s car brought to a halt in northern france. the country's long struggle with terror continues. jonny dymond, bbc news, paris. counting is still underway in the kenyan election. the electoral commission ‘s website, let's have a look at that. it suggests the

incumbent president is in the lead. it has him over 50, and there is his chief opponent. he has said the electoral commission ‘s it system has been hacked to manipulate the election results. here he is speaking a little earlier. translation: it isa it is a complete fraud. boats that we re it is a complete fraud. boats that were not cast. the electoral fraud and publication of results is massive, and extensive. to the extent that as a result of the 47 counties were manipulated. this individual as part of the mystery. he said the hackers had used the identity of this man to get access to the system. this is a man who had beenin to the system. this is a man who had been in charge of the electronic voting system until he was murdered

last week. a couple of hours ago, ken is electoral commission caused the nukes conference and here is what they said. —— kenya is electoral commission called a news conference. before, during, and after the voting. the rts system is secure. a question about where it was and the reports i saw, the database we were using. so that you know, the igs system is based on a database that is very different from the alleged database. our team has refused the alleged logs and established that the claim has been

made could not be substantiated from ourend. made could not be substantiated from our end. it's also worth mentioning this tweet from the head of the african union observer mission, saying the judiciary as well prepared to deal with any electoral disputes that may arise. the high profile of this election internationally is in part due to the fear that the closeness of the vote could lead to violence, as happened ten years ago. so far the situation has remained relatively calm. we have seen some scenes like this, just to show you. from an opposition stronghold, you can see protesters lit fires, riot police we re protesters lit fires, riot police were also deployed. in nairobi, witnesses told the bbc one person was killed in a confrontation with police, but the government has denied this. the bbc has a huge team in kenya covering all aspects of the election. let's go to sue now, she is in the main counting centre in

nairobi. some reports of violence? as you mentioned, summer riots reported in the western town of casino that is the stronghold of the opposition leader. as soon as he made a statement alleging that the electoral systems had been hacked, people went into the streets. his supporters protested, and write police were sent in to deal with that situation. a similar scene in nairobi. but right now it appears everything is calm, people have really been anxious. it is a weekday, and they would expect in nairobi there is a lot of traffic on the roads, but today the city was deserted. except for a few people, who went to open businesses in town. in mombasa, people are really anxious and waiting for the final result. waiting to see what happens

afterwards. worth reminding viewers outside kenya this is a long—standing rivalry between these two men. that's right. the president's father was the founding president of kenya, after independence. his vice president was mr odinga's father, but the two men fell out shortly after independence, and there has been this rivalry going on between the families for decades. thank you very much for getting us up—to—date and they are from nairobi. we will stay with that story as it continues to develop. stay with us an outside source. still to come... just how long did the netherlands know about a dangerous contamination of eggs? belgium claims it may have been as long ago as last november. 18 people have been found guilty of the sexual exploitation of vulnerable young girls and women in newcastle. police

had to pay a convicted child rapist £10,000 for information. earlier, chief constable steve ashwin for northumbria police spoke to the bbc and he was asked, was it necessary to pay for the information? might the informant had persisted for free? what we find in policing, people give us permission for a range of motives. some financial, sometimes quite often with organised criminals for example, it is about revenge. upon a rival criminal. some of them give us information for moral reasons. they find it appalling and distressing that they are part of all they know of a pattern of offending and they want to tell us about it for the right reasons. you would expect us to explore all those reasons with our information, i simply cannot tell you standing here now exactly whether that was increment. i would expect it to have been covered with that informant. you are watching outside source,

live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story: the us defence secretaryjim agassiz told north korea to avoid actions that could usher in the destruction of its people. the latest in a war of words between the us and north korea. let's look at some of the stories making news around the bbc‘s other services. zimbabwe's around the bbc‘s other services. zimba bwe's cash—strapped government can suspend $1 billion to build a university to honour 93—year—old president robert mugabe. construction would cost around 800 million, with a further 200 million put aside for endowments to fund research and innovation. the university will be built north of the capital harare, and that is on bbc i freak. former world number one golfer tiger woods has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. but has accepted a lesser charge of reckless driving. the 41—year—old was arrested in may on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. there

we re influence of drugs or alcohol. there were breathalyser found no influence of drugs or alcohol. there were breathalyserfound no trace influence of drugs or alcohol. there were breathalyser found no trace of alcohol in his system. that story is on the bbc world service. this story is one of the most read and viewed stories online, that is a humpback whale leaping out of the water off the coast of stjohn's newfoundland in canada. three people in the vote we re in canada. three people in the vote were simply out fishing, thankfully one was armed with a camera. millions of eggs have been taken from the shelves in belgium, and there is a row about why. belgium has accused the netherlands of numbing abouta has accused the netherlands of numbing about a potentially dangerous contamination since late last year. dangerous contamination since late last yea r. let's dangerous contamination since late last year. let's look at this. belgian officials had already admitted to knowing injune that dutch eggs might contain a harmful insecticide. the information was not made public until a month later. that was widely criticised across europe. now, belgian's agriculture minister says that the netherlands may have known about the problem as

far back as last november. what is involved here? it is fibrin alba talking about, the contaminants that can harm the kidneys, thyroid glands. he is adam fleming in brussels. belgian mps interrupted their summer holidays today so they could quiz the head of the food standards agency and also the agriculture and public health minister here in belgium. the belgian government is fighting against this allegation that they knew for quite some time that there could be a problem with these contaminated eggs. but they failed to pass that information on to their european neighbours. they are fighting against the allegation by saying, thailand, we actually asked to be dutch authorities for information in june, which to be dutch authorities for information injune, which took them a whole month to provide. a belgian minister also suggested the dutch may have, where a potential problem as problem as early as november last year, much earlier than people thought. the priority here is still

protecting public health, the health minister says there is very little risk to the public ‘s help, because you would have to consume vast quantities of these contaminated eggs to feel any ill effects. nonetheless, a third of dutch poultry farms are still closed as a precaution. last week, the german government removed 3 million eggs from the shelves. it does seem that the real effects here will not be felt in people's health, but it will be felled to dramatically and economically. os business now, and the top story is our escalating war of words between the us and north korea. let's see how the markets are reacting. michelle is there for us. any movement? we have seen the escalation of tension between us and north korea actually has started to weigh on investors minds. just looking at how the markets finished for the day, and the dow is down

about one, two tenths of a percent. the snp lost one tenth of a percent, so the snp lost one tenth of a percent, so not major downgrades, but you are starting to see a bit of nervousness. investors are beginning to put a bit of money into gold, the swiss franc, investments that often they think of as safe havens. it's worth pointing out that we are coming off the back of a period where we have seen wall street eating fish record highs, so that may explain some of the declines. —— we have seen wall street eating fresh record highs. i have a question about disney. it is massive and buying theme parks, blockbusters like frozen, star wars and the marvel series but the entertainment giant is struggling to be profitable in the face of lina competition, as we found out today. it is axing a deal with netflix and apparently it will stream its own content. tell us more. it has been an interesting couple of days hearing from media

companies here in the us. disney is the one that has drawn a lot of attention, because it is saying it is going to pull its offerings away from netflix, when that contract ends. the will start its own streaming service is literally trying to give its offerings direct to consumers. people in industry have are looking at the profits of netflix which continued to do better than many people expected, as a result of that, companies are trying to figure out how they should proceed. here we have disney, saying hang on, we have content we can offer directly to consumers. it comes at a time and some of their other businesses are not doing so well. espn was long a very successful portion of its business, a cable sports channel, he in the us. that has been a source of worry, it's as subscribers have been dropping in advertising dollars have been falling away. this may be an attempt by the company to pivot away

from that. towards revenue from streaming, on the other side we have heard from cbs earlier this week, they said they actually want to launch an online sports network. they still think there is room to grow in the franchise. we will have to wait and see how this all plays out, clearly a changing landscape as the networks try to figure out what to do and how to compete with the likes of netflix. quickly, what is the thinking about how this affects netflix? it is now focusing on original content, with series like schengen things. it is making waves on its own ground. they saw this coming perhaps. the deals they were spending a lot of money trying to do licensing deals with various media companies for the content. going forward , companies for the content. going forward, they still rely on buying up forward, they still rely on buying up huge swathes of programming. whether that will become more difficult for the company going forward , difficult for the company going forward, one has to watch this space. at the same time, you have

other entrance into this field like amazon prime, developing their own streaming service and developing their own content. for viewers, streaming service and developing their own content. forviewers, it isa their own content. forviewers, it is a great time to be watching television. for the companies, very competitive. thanks very much. it is ha rd to competitive. thanks very much. it is hard to believe exactly a decade ago, we were staring into a financial abyss. on the 9th of august 2007, banks family had billions of dollars in toxic debt which could not be repaired and lending to businesses and consumers dried up. the financial crisis that followed is estimated to have cost the us economy alone a staggering $22 trillion. one man in the eye of that storm was young prodigy shea, the boss of the european central bank. the idea that we could have total evaporation, total desperation ofa total evaporation, total desperation of a normal money market on one of the two big money markets in the world was something which had not

been experienced since world war ii. we were amazed, we had only a short period of time, because if we had waited for one day, then we would have a full day without any money market functioning in euros in the morning, it was the only big—money market in the world. the new york market in the world. the new york market was not open yet, so we decided to be extremely bold, and to give all the liquidity which was asked by the banks, and they asked us asked by the banks, and they asked us 95 billion euros. before we finish this edition, i want to bring you a story just finish this edition, i want to bring you a storyjust coming into the newsroom , you a storyjust coming into the newsroom, the united nations migration agency says up to 50 migrants have been deliberately drowned by people smugglers off yemen. let's show you where we are talking about here. it is understood the migrants mainly from somalia and ethiopia had boarded a boat in the horn of africa, they were travelling

up horn of africa, they were travelling up the hope of eventually reaching a a gulf country. they we are hearing as they reached the migrant coast, they were forced into the sea. 29 people were killed, around a hundred survived. 22 people are also missing. a spokesperson for the international organisation for migration said the smugglers deliberately pushed the migrants into the waters since they feared they would be arrested by the authorities once they reached the shore. the bbc will have more details as they come in. you can a lwa ys details as they come in. you can always tell us what you think about our stories, our developing stories, the hashtag is bbc os. of course we have a lot more in terms of analysis and correspondent commentary on the bbc website/ news. a lot more there on any of our running and running stories. do is stay with us. tropical storm franklin continues to

strengthen as he moves through the bay of campisi, we are taking a look at the latest satellite pictures. you can see the track of the storm, moving across the peninsula, warmer waters meaning the storm is intensifying once again. it may well brush with harry kane stacey before it is expected to make landfall during the early hours of thursday morning on the east coast of mexico. lots of heavy rainfall associated with the storm, some strong winds and high storm surge. it is the rain could be the issue as it tracks further inland, the brighter yellows and greens denoting intensity of rain. we are certainly going to keep a close eye on that, localised flooding could be an issue over the next few days. staying with the theme of localised flooding, just look at houston, texas, we have seen some pretty intense showers. some places saw as much was four inches of rain in a very short space of time. that brought some plush

budding. not only in houston, but also in san antonio. showers continue to drift their way steadily east into parts of atlanta, georgia as well. also affecting the carolinas. that story is set to continue for the next few days. some sharp showers through parts of texas, up into georgia, the carolinas and even northern parts of florida. by contrast, to the north—west, it is not as hot as it has been. still dry and sunny and those temperatures still impressive but nowhere near as extreme as in recent days. we have also got some stormy weather continuing across the alps. we had some localised budding through austria. this is the boundary between cooler, fresh air to the north—west and the heatwave conditions in the south east. still the potential for shop thundery downpours across the alps, up into germany, poland and drifting their way steadily eastwards. the heatwave still continues across much of italy. the balkans, and down into mainland greece, which averages

still 35 to 40 mainland greece, which averages still 35 to a0 degrees plus. slight pressure conditions with a bit more ofa pressure conditions with a bit more of a breeze perhaps through the greek isles. staying with the theme of heavy rain, plenty of it through the monsoon moving up through the bay of bengal, affecting bangladesh, the himalayas, north—eastern states in india as well. significant rainfall totals are expected over the next five to seven days, and that again could cause landslides and some flooding issues. we will of course keep you updated on developments of that one. staying a bit closer to home, across the uk i am very pleased to say things will quieten down after the couple of days with some very heavy rain across england and wales. thursday looks dry, settled and sunny. a little bit warmer than it has been. more coming up at the top of the hour. hello. i'm philip thomas. this is outside source. the us defence secretary has sold north korea to

avoid events that could cause the destruction of its people. earlier, north korea had said that it would consider attacking qualm. more trouble for trump as it emerged that the home of his campaign manager was raided earlier. and a new and surprising way to track penguins through their feathers. and we will
