it has been a week of heated words between the us and north korea. today was no exception. president trump warned kim jong—un that he would truly regret it if he took action against the us or its allies. it comes after tweeting earlier that america's military solutions were "locked and loaded" if pyongyang were to act. but other international leaders are calling for calm and a dialling—down of the rhetoric. germany's chancellor, angela merkel, said there was no military solution, while the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, put forward a plan between the two countries to ease tensions. nick bryant reports. after "fire and fury" comes "locked and loaded". not the title of some hollywood summer blockbuster, but the words of america's commander—in—chief, describing his country's state of military readiness. these are the latest pictures of b—1 bombers stationed in guam.

the motto of this squadron — "fight tonight." president trump reminded people of that on his twitter feed this morning. he is deploying social media to fire off warning salvos. and again tonight, he ramped up the rhetoric even further, with this verbal broadside aimed at the north korean leader. this man will not get away with what he's doing, believe me. and if he utters one threat, in the form of an overt threat, which by the way he has been uttering for years, and his family has been uttering for years, or if he does anything with respect to guam, or anyplace else that's an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it, and he will regret it fast. as the government of japan deployed

missile interceptors to guard against north korean rockets, international leaders essentially told both sides to cool it. translation: i believe that... i'm firmly convinced that an escalation of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict. translation: when a fight has nearly broken out, the first step away from that dangerous threshold should be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter. amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it has emerged the trump administration has been secretly talking to north korea about americans in prison there and deteriorating relations. the news came as america's defence secretary emphasised diplomacy. you can see the american effort is diplomatically led, it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results. and i want to stay right there, right now. the tragedy of war is well enough known. it doesn't need another characterisation, beyond the fact

that it would be catastrophic. holiday—makers on guam still seem unfazed that it would take just 1a minutes for a north korean missile to reach them. but, amongst the beach reading this morning, a fact sheet from the guam government, warning not to look at fireballs. so how are people in the south of the peninsula reacting to crisis over pyongyang's nuclear ambitions? yogita limaye reports from seoul. fierce reactions have come to be expected of north korea, and in the us, it now seems to be becoming a pattern. the president makes strong remarks, then one of his cabinet tries to tone the message down. now, analysts i have been speaking to say that so far they don't believe that either side will act on the threats they are making. but, when you are in such a heated situation — a few days ago in pyongyang there was a mass rally, a big show of strength, anti—american slogans,

and in that situation, when you don't have a line of communication open with north korea, even the slightest miscalculation could be dangerous. you have to remember that war can break out with a really small, you know, unfortunate accident. and that is what people are worried about. at this point, i don't think they are thinking about war, on either side. but, if a really unfortunate thing happens, that can trigger the war. here in south korea, there are concerns about where all of this is heading. the country's top security adviser spoke to his american counterpart this morning, and during that conversation, the us has been reported to have agreed that it will not launch any pre—emptive strikes on north korea without informing seoul. on the streets of this city, people are going about their lives as normal. they are getting worried about this heated exchange that we are seeing between north korea and the us. but, at the moment, they don't see any reason to panic. in the past couple of hours,

president trump has spoken to reporters about the situation in north korea, describing it as "ve the us leader also commented on the escalating political crisis in venezuela. speaking alongside his secretary of state, rex tillerson, mr trump said he was ready to take a tough stance. we have many options for venezuela and, by the way, i will not rule out and, by the way, i will not rule out a military option. we have many options for venezuela. this is our neighbour. we are all over the world. we have troops all over the world. we have troops all over the world in place is very far away and venezuela is not very far away and people are suffering and they are dying. we have many options including a possible military action if necessary. would that be a us led

military operation? we will not talk about it but a military option is certainly something we could proceed with. the incumbent, uhuru kenyatta, has been declared the winner of kenya's bitterly disputed presidential election. the electoral commission said he gained over a million more votes than his rival, raila odinga, whose opposition alliance has claimed tuesday's election was marred by fraud. our africa correspondent alastair leithead reports. uhuru kenyatta's supporters knew this was coming. preliminary results had given their man an unassailable lead. but first, there was an electoral process to follow, and it was a lengthy one. the result from every county had to be read out, before the moment the nation had been waiting for. i wish to declare uhuru kenyatta as president—elect. after three days of holding their breaths, kenyans have now finally had confirmation that

uhuru kenyatta will have a second term in office, by a considerable margin. the question now is how the opposition will react in defeat, having claimed this was rigged. would they accept this result? will they challenge it in the courts, or will they go to the streets? before the results were even released, the opposition alliance had walked out, repeating allegations the vote was rigged. i think this has been an entire charade. this is a disaster. they had run a parallel counting centre, and claimed discrepancies, that the election commission computer was hacked, that the vote was fraudulent. thank you. president uhuru kenyatta stepped up to acknowledge his victory, and spoke about unity, ten years on from the terrible ethnic post—election violence. i extend the hand of partnership, knowing fully well that this country needs all of us pulling together in order for us to succeed. these were the scenes in the stronghold of the losing

candidate, raila odinga, in western kenya, earlier in the day. a lengthy stand—off with police. there have already been a few clashes in the slums of nairobi. the fear is these ugly if isolated protests could spread, if the opposition decides to call its people out on the streets. tonight, kenya is still holding its breath. two passenger trains have collided in egypt, killing at least 37 people. about 120 others were injured. the crash, just outside the northern coastal city of alexandria, involved a train coming from cairo and another from port said. pascale davies reports. many egyptian families were on their way to the coastal city alexandria. their seaside holiday came to a sudden stop after the two trains they were travelling on collided, just outside the mediterranean city.

it is believed one train crashed into the back of the other. many people have been killed, and over 120 are injured. rescue teams rushed to the scene, pulling the dead and injured from the damaged rail wagons, the wounded rushed to hospital. the accident has sparked fresh anger in the north african country. translation: i was standing on my rooftop when i saw the two trains crash. they rose in the air, forming a pyramid, when they collided. i started to scream from the rooftops for people to grab some sheets and run. this is pure negligence. whose fault is this? how could so many people die? i want to know if this is negligence from the rail authorities, or is this the driver's fault? egyptians have long complained that successive governments have failed to enforce basic safeguards for the railways, leading to a string of fatal crashes. the reason for friday's accident is still unknown.

egypt's transport minister has ordered an investigation into the accident, pledging to hold whoever is responsible to account. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: a german charity says one of its migrant rescue ships in the mediterranean has offered to help a broken—down vessel operated by a right—wing anti—immigrant group. the offer was turned down. the german boat was sent to assist the c—star off the libyan coast. the organisation that operates the c—star — generation identity — said it had developed a minor technical problem, and wasn't in distress. a german court has jailed two syrian people traffickers over the deaths of 13 migrants in the mediterranean in 2015. two children are still missing after the inflatable dinghy hit a freighter off the greek island of lesbos. the 27—year—old who organised the crossing was jailed for four years. the man steering the boat was given a 2.5—year sentence. the british pensions regulator has

approved a plan by tata steel to give thousands of its workers in the uk, less generous pensions. in a deal intended to safeguard jobs, the indian company argued that pension liabilities under the old scheme, were threatening the whole of its operation in the uk. a british court has jailed three men for producing cannabis on an industrial scale at a former nuclear bunker. the underground complex produced drugs worth an estimated $2,5 millions a year. the men were jailed for between five and eight years, as duncan kennedy reports. hidden beneath the wooded hills of wiltshire, even today, the bunker remains a secretive, subterranean world. its old antenna and air vents the only sign of its existence. but five metres below ground this cold war sanctuary was transformed into a cannabis factory.

this was where 4000 cannabis plants were found, spread over two floors. the men behind it were martin fillery, plamen nguyen, and ross winter, who were jailed today, for admitting conspiracy to produce the drug. police say using the nuclear bunker, once owned by the ministry of defence, meant the gang could exploit its secrecy and security. this was a highly organised operation, and of course the nuclear bunker provided that level of security and covertness to avoid detection. this was the bunker as it was. a secret headquarters for regional government in the event of a nuclear war. 150 officials could survive here for a month. this was the canteen then... ..and when the police arrived. they found everything

from a big—screen tv, to a fish tank. and all with the home comforts of an underground world where the underworld could go to ground. the gang even bypassed the mains meter, ripping—off £650,000 worth of electricity. all to keep the cannabis growing and drying around the clock. in fact, they thought this facility would provide them with the perfect cover for their illegal activities. why? well, first of all you can't see it from the road. it's completely isolated. and the complex itself can be locked up. they managed to keep this place a secret for three years. it was only when the gang inadvertently opened the doors the police were able to finally get in and reveal the industrial scale cannabis production line. 0ne now consigned, like its cold war setting, to history. duncan kennedy, bbc news, at chilmark, in wiltshire. stay with us on bbc world news.

understood the gravity of the current situation. he told reporters that he would be speaking to the chinese leader in the coming hours, but that he was still optimistic of a diplomatic solution with pyongyang. hopefully it'll all work out, 0k? nobody loves a peaceful solution better than president trump, that i can tell you. hopefully it will all work out. this has been going on for many yea rs. this has been going on for many years. it would have been a lot easier to solve this years ago before they were in the position they are in, but we will see what happens. we think that lots of good things could happen, and we could also have a bad solution. what we think lots of good things could happen. i think you know the answer to that. when you say bad things, are you talking about war?|j to that. when you say bad things, are you talking about war? i think you know the answer to that. portugal is battling a new rash of forest fires, with winds frequently changing

direction, complicating firefighters' attempt to get them under control. authorities are warning of further blazes ahead of a weekend of warm temperatures, as laura westbrook reports. again and again, planes in portugal dropped their loads, to try and bring these wild fires under control. on the ground, firefighters are once again battling the smoke and flames, as a new spate of fires has taken hold. they say winds frequently changing direction were complicating their attempts. in this village, residents grabbed garden hoses and buckets of water to try and help exhausted firefighters. but many could only watch as their houses burnt. with arsonist believed to be the cause of some of the fires, people are angry. translation: and what happens with

the arsonists when we catch them? we ta ke the arsonists when we catch them? we take them to court, and then they are released. rather, we need to make them work in a0 degrees heat. that is what they deserve. these latest lasers come after more than 60 people were killed injune, in fires that raged for five days. portugal usually has fires in the summer, but this year has been particularly bad because most of the country is experiencing drought. strong winds and high temperatures are expected over the weekend —— latest blazes. conditions that mean there is more to come. eggs from european poultry farms containing traces of insecticide have now been found in nearly 20 countries. they have been contaminated with the pesticide fipronil, which can damage the kidney, liver and thyroid gland. the european commissioner for food safety has called for an end to countries blaming each other. here is our europe correspondent damian grammaticas. the netherlands is europe's biggest producer of eggs,

but now, millions of chickens here might have to be slaughtered. anya visscher‘s farm has been given the all—clear. the pest control company that fumigates her barn didn't use the banned insecticide fipronil, but the damage to her industry has been done. all the farmers trust the companies who come into your barn and do their stuff. there are many rules in the netherlands, so we are thinking it's ok. and the extent of the problem is spreading. where it started, in the netherlands, belgium, germany and france, farms have had to be closed. in 11 more eu countries, fresh eggs and products made with eggs have been withdrawn from sale from the uk, ireland, poland, italy and romania. in switzerland, even as far

afield as hong kong, there have been re—calls, too. all this shows is how interconnected our industrial food chains are today. belgian authorities say the first signs of a problem may have emerged as long ago as november in the netherlands. so there are difficult questions for european countries — why was nothing done sooner? the european commission has called for a meeting of member states to get to the bottom of the problem. the aim is to draw the relevant lessons, and discuss the ways to continuously improve the effectiveness of the eu system, to deal with food fraud and food safety issues. fipronil is used to kill fleas in domestic pets. it is not allowed on animals entering the food chain. the amounts discovered in eggs are not harmful to humans, but prosecutors say two people have been arrested for threatening public health. translation: they mixed this forbidden product with substances that come into contact with the food chain. they did it for their own profit. they have put people's health in danger, and damaged confidence in food safety. and that confidence that

what we eat is safe may take time to be repaired. at least, it will be months before each farm where fipronil was used can be declared safe again. it is probably safe to say that most parents think their baby is the fairest of them all. many even believe their offspring is model material. around the world, child modelling agencies receive tens of thousands of applications from hopeful parents every week. but what does it take, and are there real benefits? we went to an agency injohannesburg to find out more. a lot of friends and family say he is very gorgeous and would look good on camera. ao me and my husband gave it some thought, and we said, why not? he's an energetic boy, and loves people. it's not only beauty.

no, you have to have personality. many times, i've turned away the pretty ones, because they are beautiful but they can't talk. and it won't help, because if they do go to auditions, and they are shy, the producer will say, "next child, thank you". sometimes it is very difficult, like the ad we did they said we must be there at 5:30am, and he was a little bit cranky because it was quite cold. sometimes it helps if you bring his favourite toy. so it will help him a lot to try to stay awake, play around. but as soon as it is now time it's all off, and it will be all a waste of time. the ultra—rich can come too, because they want their kids to gain confidence. the other side, they think, i'll come today and i'll retire off my child, and i often tell them that is not the case. we opened up, like,

a savings account for him. we just store it. whenever he gets paid, we just put it in that account, so that when he grows up he'll see it. the kenyan athlete bypassed the waterjump the kenyan athlete bypassed the water jump and had the kenyan athlete bypassed the waterjump and had to backtrack. no such problems for the american, who kept upa such problems for the american, who kept up a fierce pace to outrun her rivals before surging down the home straight to become the first athlete to break a championship record in the 2017 tournament. her compatriot recorded a personal best, to take silver. the world's oldest man has died in israel at the age of 113. yisrael kristal was born in poland in 1903, and survived the auschwitz death camp, where his first wife,

two children and other family members were killed by the nazis. he moved to israel in 1950, and was due to celebrate his 11ath birthday next month. he was recognised by guinness world records as the world's oldest man in march last year. just a reminder of our main news this sour. president trump has renewed his verbal pressure on north korea. he has been warning pyongyang not to take military action against the us or its allies, and mr trump said that he hoped the north's leader understood the gravity of the situation. that's it from us at bbc news for the moment. stay with us for the headlines. this is bbc news. hello, there. after a mixed, changeable,

week things take a turn for the worse again. that's if you don't like wet weather. this rain working its way in from the west. heavy downpours potentially. ahead of that, warmth into the south—east, but most places cool. into tuesday this frontal system doesn't move anywhere fast. still some wet weather to come on tuesday, most likely in north—east scotland. a mixture of sunshine and showers elsewhere. showers could be heavy and thundery into the south—east. highs of 16—23 degrees. this is bbc news, the headlines: president trump has renewed his fierce rhetoric towards north korea, saying american military solutions are now "locked and loaded" if pyongyang chooses to act unwisely. mr trump said he hoped president kim jong—un understood the gravity of the situation. there have been reports of protests in kenya, after it was announced that the president, uhuru kenyatta,
