and in football, defending premier league champions chelsea suffer a stunning defeat to burnley at stamford bridge. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the chinese president, xijingping, has urged the united states and north korea to show restraint, amid the growing crisis over north korea's nuclear programme. during a telephone conversation with president trump, china's leader urged both parties to avoid "words and actions" that could increase tensions. earlier today mr trump called the governor of guam to show his support for the us pacific territory — which north korea has threatened to fire missiles at. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. first, he threatened fire and fury

in north korea, then last night, president trump said us forces are locked and loaded. but tonight, north korea is getting sound and music from its neighbours in the south. the message at this annual peace concert on the border a little louder after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away, but it is hardly a city suddenly in panic. trump's policy offers me a comfortable life because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. i am worried about that because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than 0bama's government. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but there are small signs they may be stepping up their preparedness. reports shoppers buying more ready meals and investors are buying more gold.

injust over a week, they will have a civil defence drill in the city. the sirens will go off and people will be guided from above ground is the natural —— metro stations or bomb shelters to take cover from possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part but this year, everyone is taking part. this is part of the reason for that. if anything happens to guam, there is going to be big, big trouble in north korea. north korea has threatens to land missiles close to the us territory in the pacific, that is a threat america cannot tolerate. good morning, good morning! it is great to speak to you. mr trump called the governor of guam to say this. this is between you and i but you don't talk like they talk. you can't do that and you can't do that with people like us. guam is home to us military bases, if we are bombers and tens of thousands of americans who are now being given advice about what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion.

meanwhile, this relationship remains key to finding a solution. china's president xijinping has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, who included, should stop exacerbating the situation. across the sea injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are border fence. japanese military transporters have been moved to places they could intercept a north korean launch. now there's more short—phrase diplomacy as the tension a local state of emergency has been declared in two districts in the city of charlottesville, virginia, due to ongoing violent clashes between white supremacists and anti—fascist demonstrators. it comes after hundreds of white supremacists — some giving nazi salutes — held a torch lit rally yesterday at the university of virginia to protest against a decision to remove a statue of the confederate civil war general, robert e lee. the governor of virginia, terry mcauliffe, had earlier urged

people to stay away from the white supremacist rally. in the past hour, president trump has tweeted in response to the clashes. 0n the line from charlottesville is the washington post reporter, taylor rees shapiro. thank you forjoining us this evening. what is going on there at the moment? just a few minutes ago, the moment? just a few minutes ago, the rally goers were officially told to disburse and that one of the prominent leaders of the all rights, richard spencer, boldly said that they would soon return. the plan now is that they were all told

essentially to go home. there have been too tense moments today at the last meeting of the rally. richard spencer spoke as well as a prominent political figures known as david duke. he frequently espouses anti—semitic and racist views. he was very popular here at the rally, people were... it remains tense but so people were... it remains tense but so far today it has been relatively peaceful asides earlier clashes this morning. there were reports earlier of more than just a verbal abuse going on, there was talk of pepper spray being sprayed by people, people being injured. how violence we re people being injured. how violence were the clashes at what about the people involved? it appears mostly that it has been police earlier today when they officially declared a local state of emergency, which granted in the for told the people

in the crowd to leave. in the park with a originally gathered, and when that happens, police used mace and attempted to tell the rally goers to leave. in doing so, people sustained minor injuries, grins on their faces. you can tell which of them we re faces. you can tell which of them were hit with the pepper spray, because their faces are still runs. right now, i'm... ithink because their faces are still runs. right now, i'm... i think we have lost taylor. he is apt that rally there in charlottesville in bridging. he is giving us up—to—date with what's going on there. —— cha rlottesville in with what's going on there. —— charlottesville in virginia. a man's been arrested on suspicion of murdering a mother and daughter at a house in north london. the women, aged 66 and 33 years old, were stabbed at a property in golders green last night. a 27 year—old man is in police custody. detectives investigating the death of an 83—year—old dog walker —

who was stabbed to death in woodlands in norfolk — have made an arrest. the body of peter wrighton was found near east harling in norfolk. a post—mortem examination showed he'd been repeatedly stabbed in his neck and head. norfolk police have arrested a local man, in his 20s, on suspicion of murder; he remains in custody while their inquiries continue. in kenya, the acting interior minister says the police will stop at nothing to protect life and property following the results of the presidential election, which returned the incumbent, uhuru kenyatta, to power. the opposition claims that more than 100 people have been killed, though it's provided little evidence to substantiate the claim. tomi 0ladipo reports. the protests have been in opposition strongholds in two of kenya's main cities. the government is responding with

force and it makes no apologies. individuals or gangs that are looting shops, that want to endanger lives, that are breaking into people's businesses, those are not demonstrators, they are criminals. and we expect the police to deal with criminals how criminals should be dealt with. this just hours after the incumbent president, uhuru kenyatta, was named winner of tuesday's elections. mr kenyatta won more than half of the votes cast. the news brought out his supporters in their numbers, following a long wait for the results. the party is over. it is the day after the election, yet now comes the hard part. those who were celebrating mr kenyatta's win here last night did so in the hope of a better quality of life. now the president has to deliver for them and he also has to gain the trust of the millions

across the country who did not vote for him. but that will be harder after the opposition rejected the results. they claim the vote was rigged and that their candidate was the true winner. the opposition‘s next move will determine whether such clashes continue or whether kenya will move on peacefully. i'm joined now by nic cheeseman, a professor of democracy and international development at the university of birmingham. and he's just returned from kenya this morning. thank you forjoining us. i understand you have just come back from kenya this morning. what did you find when you were there? the situation is very tense and difficult, as you were just reporting. the opposition made a number of allegations about the elections, some of which they are struggling to substantiate. at the final moments, when they were moving

towards the announcement of the results, many of us felt the electoral commission might read another day or two or some of the election, missing forms that were supposed to be signed by party agents, and haven't yet been verified, to allow those to be ca ptu red verified, to allow those to be captured and verified to put some more of the opposition‘s minds at rest. instead we had a very hastily arranged declaration last night, and that didn't help the perception of how the election has been managed, even though the opposition have struggled to find hard evidence of rigging. that's the point, but it's the perception that something hasn't been quite right here rather than the reality, because there have been election monitors in place you have verified the results. there have, and the observation team today released a parallel vote tabulation looking at 1,700 polling stations, and found a result that was quite close to the official results announced by the electoral commission. but the perception is

matters as much as reality. this is an opposition party that feels... they had a very bad experience in 2013 when the technology that was supposed to protect the election didn't work. i feel they fighting those last two elections rather than this one in some ways. they are complaining about having felt hard done by over a number of years and generations of politicians. that's why this is so emotional and had resolved. about the next points, who is going to resolve this, going to be able to bring the two sides together? it's difficult. we seem to be atan together? it's difficult. we seem to be at an impasse. the opposition has painted itself into a corner bets. it says it won't accept the results, made some hardline statements. there has been location they won't go to the supreme court and that suggests they might try to take their protest to the streets. taking the protest to the streets. taking the protest to the streets means the people who are probably going to suffer will be

opposition supporters. we have heard from the canyon national commission on human rights that they think something like 2a people have died, but a lot of those people have died from the winds. that's probably in clashes with the police. 0ne from the winds. that's probably in clashes with the police. one of the problems for opposition leaders if they don't want to go to the courts because they don't think they will getjustice, because they don't think they will get justice, but if because they don't think they will getjustice, but if they because they don't think they will get justice, but if they take because they don't think they will getjustice, but if they take the supporters to the streets, the losers will likely be their own supporters. this is a fairly strong state and opposition supporters would be able to contest that. it's not clear what the advantage of going to the streets would be in the situation we have. rider fears that there could be more violence to come? you talked about previous elections, ten years ago over 1000 people died. 0ur elections, ten years ago over 1000 people died. our people concerned, either police concerned ? people died. our people concerned, either police concerned? that's a great question. whenever you experience a moment of national drama as kenya did in 2000 seven, 1000 people died and hundreds displaced, it lingers more in the memory. i think people are scared

that this could escalate but it is a very difficult that like different situation. the process has been much more credible. the fact that we have domestic observers saying the results tally, the fact that the opposition hasn't been able to demonstrate hard evidence of problems. although the violence has been terrible, it hasn't been on anywhere near the same scale as 2000 and, suggesting it might be possible to contain this. a lot will depend on what happens next. will the ruling party makes conciliatory gestures ? ruling party makes conciliatory gestures? 0r ruling party makes conciliatory gestures? or the electoral commission find the forms and put about the question of where they are and why they been presented? we'll be opposition be willing to dial down some of their protests and start thinking about maybe how they can build for the next election rather than continue to contest these ones? we must leave it there. thank you. new measures to tackle the dangerous use of laser pens are to be considered by the government, following concerns about the threat to air safety.

the lasers, which can temporarily blind people, have been used to target aircraft and pilots, as our business correspondent, jonty bloom, now reports. laser pens or pointers are designed to be used to highlight something of interest. but they can be dangerous, and dazzle or blind people if shone directly at their eyes. last year alone there were 1,258 laser attacks on aircraft, even though it is already an offence with a maximum fine of £2,500. helicopters, which fly lower than many aircraft and typically have only one pilot, are thought to be especially vulnerable to laser pens. the government is now going to consult on new measures to restrict the dangerous use of laser pens, and boost safety, such as introducing a licensing scheme for retailers, limits on the advertising of laser pens, and potential restrictions on their ownership, as well as a possible awareness—raising campaign to educate people about the dangers of laser pens. interested parties, including businesses, retailers and consumers, now have eight weeks to submit their evidence and proposals. the headlines on bbc news:

president trump has warned north korea that it would "regret it fast" if it continued to threaten america or its allies. president trump has also sent a tweet asking americans to unite against hate — following violent clashes in the run—up to a large far—right rally. police have arrested a 27—year—old man on suspicion of a double murder in golders green. the unite union has warned that strike action by refuse workers in birmingham — which has left waste piling up in the streets — could continue until christmas. industrial action began at the end ofjune in a row over working conditions and pay. birmingham city council has accused the refuse workers of holding the city to ransom. kathryn stanczyszyn reports. itjust keeps mounting up.

six weeks of strike action by refuse workers has left some streets in birmingham full of bin bags and vulnerable to vermin. now the union behind the action, unite, says it will ballot its members on continuing that action all the way until christmas. the council is proposing to take safety—critical responsibilities off bin loaders at the back of a bin wagon, endangering my members and the public. but in doing so, there will be a cost to my members' income of between £3,500 to £5,000 a person. they're already on low incomes, and they simply cannot afford it. the row with birmingham city council over changes to the waste service has deepened, with the council accusing unite of holding the city to ransom. it says it must modernise, saving millions of pounds in the process, and also that no—one will lose jobs. the city council says it will have cleared all of the backlog by the end of this weekend and it then has a plan for further disruption.

it's also inviting unite to get around the table with it and the independent arbitrators, acas. but workers say although it isn't desirable, they are willing to continue their action for many more months. this bin man spoke to us anonymously. we don't want to, but we are willing to stay out for as long as it takes. if that means up to christmas, then so be it. it's stalemate, but the patience of residents dealing with the consequences is running out. seven members of the emergency services team — the white helmets — in syria have been buried after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours in the town of sarmin, nine kilometres east of the city of idlib. their bodies were discovered when volunteers arrived to start a shift. the white helmets group has been nominated for the nobel peace prize. a host of tributes were being paid

to them online. the head of the white helmets posted the group's symbol stained with blood. 0thers uploaded video of a man in tears after he rescued a child after an air strike. the white helmets have been celebrated as heroes from many and have been nominated for the nobel peace prize. but not everyone sees the group is whiter than white. they have been attacked as france, a western backed pr stunt and far too close for comfort to jihadists fighters. the group acknowledges that it receives a natural backing from the west but some of its members were once fighters. by

necessity they can only work in rebel held areas. it's unclear why seven of its members were killed, other deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflicts. more than 60 children, many of them new—born babies, have died in a hospital in northern india over the past six days. the head of the facility in gorakhpur district in the state of uttar pradesh has been suspended, and a government inquiry is underway. 0ur correspondent sanjoy majumder spoke to us from delhi. well, most of the deaths occurred between thursday and friday, overnight into friday. there's been a suggestion that one of the reasons is because oxygen supplies ran low, apparently because the hospital hadn't paid or cleared the bills of the private supplier. now this has been denied by the authorities, but the fact is that from the reports we've heard from the ground, certainly on thursday night it appeared that the supplies of oxygen were dangerously low. many of these children or babies, in fact,

were in the neonatal facility. some of them were seriously ill. there have been reports that both the doctors as well as the families were handed out manual breathing bags in an attempt to try and revive some of these babies, who unfortunately didn't survive. what the authorities maintain is that many of these children were very, very ill and no—one died because of a lack of oxygen, but an investigation‘s on to see if there's been any negligence. this has turned into something of a political hot potato, president trump has said he's not ruling out a military option in dealing with the crisis in venezuela. president nicolas maduro's new constituent assembly has been criticised as anti—democratic. more than 100 people have been killed in protests since april. venezuela's defence minister, said mr trump's comments were an "act of craziness." 0ur south america correspondent, katy watson, reports. the relationship between venezuela and the us is already pretty tense, both have had harsh words to say to each other in recent weeks. but on friday afternoon

that tension escalated. what options are on the table to deal with venezuela? many options for venezuela and by the way i will not rule out a military option. we have many options for venezuela. this is our neighbour, you know, we are all over the world and we have troops all over the world in places which are very, very far away, venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying, we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. talking on tv soon after the country's information minister was defiant. translation: i insist it's the most serious threat ever rendered against the sovereignty and independence of the republic of venezuela. in the nearly two weeks since a new government body was installed to rewrite the constitution and potentially

override the opposition—controlled parliament, the venezuelan government has had criticism heaped upon it as well as sanctions. the us has slapped restrictions on top government officials including the president maduro. and on friday evening the white house also released a statement saying president maduro had requested a phone call with donald trump but it went on to state... these are volatile times for venezuela, after several months of often violent protests. foreign intervention is wanted by many but military action is a drastic step. katie watson, bbc news. a danish inventor who designed the world's biggest privately—built

submarine is appearing in court in copenhagen, he's been detained for questioning in connection with the killing a swedish journalist who had been travelling with him on the vessel. forty—six—year—old peter madsen has denied the manslaughter allegations of the 30—year—old woman, kim wall, who disappeared 0ur europe regional editor, danny aeberhard reports. looking out from the home built nautilus as it leaves copenhagen. the woman, apparently seen here, the only passenger. that much is clear. what happens next is not. the freelance journalist boyfriend reported her missing. and a huge search was launched. he was spotted by witnesses on friday aboard the nautilus. but soon after it sank. fast. it was located at a depth of seven metres and efforts to recover it are under way. are you 0k? he was

rescued, reportedly as the sun went down, by a private boat. he said he was fine, although a little sad seeing the nautilus go down. he had hit the headlines in 2008 when he managed to build the nearly 80 metre long vessel using online crowdfunding. he was arrested when he returned to shore. the inventor says he dropped her off on one of copenhagen‘s islands on thursday nights. police are examining cctv footage to try to verify this. he has appeared in court in a closed hearing. prosecutors said it was needed to shield relatives from emerging details and to give space for the ongoing police investigation. 0ne for the ongoing police investigation. one that could have stepped from the pages of even the most imaginative danish crime thriller. stargazers will be hoping to get a great view of the perseid meteor shower tonight.

astronomers say hundreds of meteors will streak across the sky in a display that may be visible around the world. the display should peak at around 11pm tonight. clear skies permitting, it will be seen in most parts of the uk. i'm joined now by robin scagell, the vice—president of the society for popular astronomy, who can tell us more. thanks forjoining us this evening. can you tell us what people can look forward to seeing tonight? that is if there are clear skies. once it gets dark, about half past ten or so, look out any direction, anywhere you see clear sky will stop that's one of the big problems. ideally towards the north but not towards the east. the east is where the shooting stars will be coming from. you might think that's the best place to look but it isn't because they will be very short trails they

are. if you look any other direction, you should see from half past ten on words, if you are lucky, shooting stars dashing through the sky, very quickly. it's one of those awkward things. if you don't tell people, they say i wish you had told me. if you do tell people, they tell you they spent half an hour looking and didn't see anything. it's very much like the draw. people may see one every minute or two or maybe even several minutes will stop otherwise, they may look out for a while and not see a thing and give up while and not see a thing and give up and go in before they get too cold. but persist and you should see some. can you tell us a bit about what is causing this? every year at this time we go through the trail of dust from comets which is long since departed. it's not likely to collide with us but the dusty produces spreads out in its orbit and every year at this time we passed through

the cloud of dust. that tiny particle —— those tiny particles of dust collide with the's atmosphere at high speed, many: that is a second, and burn up in a fraction of a second. that's what causes a shooting star. it just a second. that's what causes a shooting star. itjust depends on how dense the dust is as to how many you see. you could be lucky and see maybe one per minutes, it may be fewer. we are seeing some pictures of what it might look like. presumably you have seen this before. how spectacular can it be? they're one of nature's free spectacles. if you want on the dramatic, set off a firework. if you wa nt dramatic, set off a firework. if you want a free spectacle, the gap to disguise any time after 10:30pm. it's not necessarily the maximum about lebanon pm, and you might see that the numbers will build up towards... so stay out there. it is a free spectacle and that's what

really excites people, the fact that this is one of nature's fireworks. that sounds like it could be a pretty spectacular evening. thank you for explaining that lascelles top i suppose the big question is, will disguise the clear over the uk so we can see will disguise the clear over the uk so we can see this? let's find out the weather. you have a better chance of seeing them tonight and you have tomorrow. more clear sky overnight tonight will stop it will be chilly. these are the two faces of today, lots of sharp showers across north—east england and pretty dismal afternoon in durham. i contrast, kent had blue skies and warm. temperatures peaked just shy of 2a celsius. through this evening, we. to see the shower is paid away, the skies clear up. temperatures fall away. in towns and city centres, in double figures. in rural spots, it's worth bearing in mind that low single figures are not out

of the question. a chilly start a sunday morning. but with light winds and clear skies, that's going to leave lots of sunshine coming through. some clouds gathering from the west through the day. a scattering of isolated showers likely across scotland. 0ne scattering of isolated showers likely across scotland. one or two through wales. east is best in terms of sunshine with highest values of 22 degrees.
