hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. president trump is in texas as devastating flooding continues. he says he wants the relief effort to stand as an example of how to respond to a storm. we wa nt we want to be looked at in five yea rs we want to be looked at in five years and ten years from now as, this is the way to do it. but there's a new flood warning to tens of thousands of people in houston — two dams are overflowing. anger as north korea launches its latest missile, this time overjapan. translation: the missile that passed over our nation poses the greatest and greatest threats to our nation ever. but china says us and south korean military exercises are provoking pyongyang. the chilean president has signed a bill that would legalise same—sex marriage, and sent it to congress for debate. we'll speak to our regional americas editor about that. we start in texas where

president trump has arrived to assess the damage left in the wake of tropical storm, harvey. before we bring you the latest from the president's visit, let's first touch on the latest concern for authorities. just outside the city of houston, are the addicks and barker dams. their reservoirs have now been pushed to capacity by the unrelenting rainfall, causing the dams to overspill. while that won't cause the dams to fail — it will add to flooding in the areas close to the main river into houston. this is the barker dam, officials had been trying to release water from the reservoirs to try and prevent those overspills. a p pa re ntly apparently unprecedented height.

about 30,000 people have been driven into emergency shelters and now the mayor of houston has made a plea for federal aid to shelter further 10,000 with existing shelters bursting with far too many people. as i mentioned earlier, president trump and the first lady are in texas. they touched down in corpus christi near where the then hurricane made landfall on friday. there they received a briefing on relief and recovery efforts with local leadership and relief organisations. that was the governor of texas next to donald trump. after that briefing the president went outside and waved a lone star flag, the flag of texas, to the crowd waiting for him. he also said a few words, let's take a listen. ijust want i just want to say, we love you. you are special. we are here to take

care. it's going well, and i want to thank you for coming out. we are going to get you back and operating immediately. thank you, everybody. what a crowd, what a turnout. i will tell you, this is historic, epic, what happened. but you know what, it happened in texas and texas can handle anything. thank you all, folks. 0ur correspondent laura trevelyan who is at la grange in texas — 150 kilometres west of houston. good to have you back with us. tell us good to have you back with us. tell usa good to have you back with us. tell us a little bit of what are the main lines you are hearing about where you are. you are about equities to between austin and houston. —— equity still —— equal distance. between austin and houston. —— equity still -- equal distance. we have the mayor of la grange with us on the bbc. now you have had a chance to inspect the damage caused

by this historic flooding your experience, what is your assessment? the days we planned for the hurricane and the disaster and the preplanning was really good, so it has left us in a pretty good position. but the heartbreak of it comes i'iow position. but the heartbreak of it comes now in ucd human element involved and the loss... we have had i'io involved and the loss... we have had no loss of life so far, but the loss of property is so severe. the city has never seen the likes of the rainfall and hurricane effects before. the river was projected to go before. the river was projected to 9° up before. the river was projected to go up about 49 feet and it actually we nt go up about 49 feet and it actually went up 54 feet. we anticipated almost correct, but it surprised us almost correct, but it surprised us a little bit. we have about 250 residents that are finding they have i'io residents that are finding they have no homes. that's the building itself. there are more families and people in those families. you are

talking to us right now in front of a mobile home park. so many people have had to leave those homes. where are they now? we have an evacuation ce ntre are they now? we have an evacuation centre set up for them. we encourage them to seek out family and friends to shelter with. not realising the damage was going to be so severe. right now the city is in a mode of short—term planning for housing for these people who have been displaced. at least 130 families will not be able to return to their homes. these were those that were in the mobile homes and manufactured homes. president trump is here now ina homes. president trump is here now in a state of texas, being briefed on everything that has happened. is there more help you could do with here in la grange? we have been contacted by our congressmen, mike mccall, and the senator, ted cruz.

we have contact numbers to get help from them. we have been in contact with fema. the waters recede in this morning. we have crews going into properties that were flooded and deeming them safe for people to enter. we haven't completed the assessment as to what the needs will be from the federal government. did you ever dream the colorado river would break its banks to this extent, and as you said, crest at 54 feet. this is inland texas, not on the gulf coast. nothing like this. they built the highland lakes in austin after 1935 which alleviated a lot of the flooding occurring down this way. i think it was 62 feet, the modern—day high. we haven't seen that since the highland lakes were built. this is totally out of the

realm. i have been mayor for 17 years and this is the first disaster like this we have had. what has been the impact on you personally? you have been mayor for 17 the impact on you personally? you have been mayorfor 17 years, so to see the devastation in the heart of your community? it's heart—wrenching. an experience like this is heart—warming and heartbreaking at the same time. your heartbreaking at the same time. your heart breaks for the community, it's like a family, and for family members who are suffering. yet it is heart—warming because the whole community pulls together and comes out. we are inundated with phone calls. i will get back and there will be messages all over my desk from people calling to offer assistance. it's heart—warming to see that a disaster can pull people together even tighter than they were before. thank you so much for joining us on bbc news. that's the

view from the mayor of this small town of the last 17 years. like she said, heartbreaking and heart—warming all at the same time. the aftermath of hurricane harvey and the devastation it has wrought here. thank you to you both. the international condemnation over north korea's latest missile test continues to grow. the latest launch travelled overjapan in the early hours of tuesday morning. the un security council is meeting right now in an emergency meeting. this was us ambassador to the un nikki haley before the meeting. the united states, along with japan and south korea, have called for an emergency security council meeting this afternoon. we are going to talk about what else is left to do to north korea. no country should have missiles flying over them, like those 130 million people injapan. it's unacceptable. they have violated every single un security

council resolution we have had. i think something serious has to happen. the ambassador nikki haley. what de we know about this latest launch by north korea? it was fired from an airport near the north korean capital pyongyang. it travelled over the japanese island of hokkaido, which sits to the north east. this graphic shows the actual trajectory. it travelled 2700 kilometres and reached a height of 550 kilometres. and this is the missile believed to have been launched. it's a hwasong—12, a newly developed intermediate range weapon. this was the response from japanese prime minister shinzo abe. translation: north korean missile has launched and passed over our nation and landed in the pacific 0cean. nation and landed in the pacific ocean. the government had been monitoring the launch from the moment it was fired. we have done

oui’ moment it was fired. we have done our utmost to ensure the safety of the people. the missile which passed over our nation represents the greatest and gravest threat to our nation ever. it's also a threat to the peace and stability of the asia pacific region. that was japan's response — this was donald trump's. in a white house statement the president said... "threatening and destabilizing actions only increase the north korean regime's isolation in the region and among all nations of the world. all options are on the table." china has also weighed in. they say the blame for the escalation lies with all parties involved. translation: the us have held one round after another of joint military exercises, and they exerted military exercises, and they exerted military pressure on the dprk. after

so military pressure on the dprk. after so many cycles they feel they are near to the peaceful settlement of the issue. the facts are proven that the issue. the facts are proven that the pressure and assumptions cannot fundamentally solve the issue. the issueis fundamentally solve the issue. the issue is complex and sensitive, and the only where out is through dialogue and consultation to peacefully address the legitimate concerns. barbara plett-usher is in washington, dc for us. good to have you with us on outside source. a number of hours since this missile was actually launched. how would you say are the main talking points in washington, dc in response? you are saying they're about mr trump's response, talking about condemning the act and also saying all military options are on the table, all options are on the table, all options are on the table, suggesting military ones are. that's something

every administration has said, all options are on the table, including military ones. before it has been seen as military ones. before it has been seen as barely credible because of the potential risk of north korea having a deadly counterstrike against south korea. but this administration has really made a point of trying to make it seem more credible. we had some officials talking openly about the possibility of what they called a pre—emptive war, and by that they mean striking first to take out north korea's nuclear facilities. we don't know how much of that is actually posturing. clearly that's something the administration wants north korea and china to take seriously. we had some of that in mr trump's statement. concrete details we had around that, we had the secretary of defence talking more in defence of terms saying that they want to strengthen missile defences in the region, injapan and south korea. they also want to strengthen military preparedness to strengthen themselves against missile attack

from north korea. he as well as the secretary of state and other senior administrative officials say the situation now is a diplomatic one of economic and diplomatic pressure. pa rt economic and diplomatic pressure. part of the discussion has been about the military exercises that have been carried out, some calling them a provocation. is there ever any talk about perhaps the us pulling back on that, or minimising the amount of exercising they carry out? no, the reverse, actually. they say quite strongly that these are defensive measures that the military exercises are to try to prepare south korea and japan, mostly south korea at the moment, to defend themselves against north korea and as north korea demonstrates more and more of a threat they become more and morejustified. more of a threat they become more and more justified. certainly more of a threat they become more and morejustified. certainly the chinese have tried to work with this, saying they should all step back a bit. freeze or end those military exercises and the north koreans stop their tests, freeze

their nuclear weapons production, and maybe we could get to talks. but the americans have been quite clear they don't want to equate the two. barbara plett—usher from washington, dc, thank you. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come. chile's president signs a bill to legalise marriage and adoptions by same—sex couples. it's a move that follows a string of liberal reforms in one of latin america's most conservative nations. president of the european commission jean—claude juncker has fresh criticism over the uk government over its handling of brexit negotiations. it is the latest papers are not satisfactory. here is how european correspondent damian grammaticas. jean—claude juncker, it is important to listen to him because his negotiators in that building are the ones who are sitting today and tomorrow with the uk side. he appointed michel barnier to conduct the negotiations and they will make the recommendations

to the other countries about whether the uk has done enough to unravel those issues to do with the past. and what we are hearing very clearly from the chief negotiator michel barnier and from jean—claude juncker and from the president of the european parliament, a real spread of opinion, is that the uk, they believe, needs to do more. they are not satisfied the uk has delivered enough detail or enough progress. 0utside source life from the bbc newsroom. 0ur 0utside source life from the bbc newsroom. our top story... president trump is in texas as devastating flooding continues. he says he wants the relief effort to stand as an example of how to respond to a storm. we can take a look at some of the

stories our language services are covering today. heavy rain has brought india's financial capital mumbai to a virtual standstill — flooding streets and causing transport chaos. dozens of flights and local train services were cancelled. more heavy rainfall is expected. a bangladesh court has found the owner of a garment factory that collapsed in 2013 guilty of corruption. more than 1,100 people died in the collapse near dhaka. sohel rana received the maximum three—year sentence for failing to declare his personal wealth to bangladesh's anti—graft commission. he faces further charges, including murder, over the disaster. one of the most popular stories on our website — british actor ed skrein has pulled out of a role in the upcoming hellboy film reboot. that's after a backlash because he was cast as a character of mixed—asian heritage. mr skrein said he did not know the race of the character when he accepted the part. the president of chile,

michelle bachelet, has sent a bill to congress to legalize marriages and adoptions by same—sex couples. for president michelle bachelet, who is currently the only female leader in latin america, this bill is the latest in a wave of liberal reforms that she was determined to launch before ending her term next year. here she is introducing the bill. translation: it cannot be that old prejudices are stronger than love. that's why, as promised, chile is now taking this historic step in favour of marriage. a child will be able to be legally adopted by a heterosexual or homosexual married couple, just by the fact they are married, without needing to modify adoption laws. well there has been some reaction on twitter. americas quarterly has tweeted " with just 6 months left in office, bachelet‘s progressive agenda may finally be taking shape in chile. well, the problem for this bill is president bachelet does indeed not have long left in her

presidency and this is her conservative rival sebastian pinera who is currently favoured in the polls to win the upcoming election. let's speak now to candace piette who is the bbc‘s regional americas editor. this move by bachelet, was it expected? chile is a very conservative society and it's taken a long time to get here. a series of legislative steps in the last few yea rs legislative steps in the last few years to get this position. even today there is a lot of resistance. you have talked about pinera, the conservative politician. his view is that he completely opposes this bill and believes marriage should remain something that is about procreation between a man and woman. so we are seeing now that bachelet will be leaving office in march and there

will be an election. if mr pinera gets in in november then we don't have much time to have this bill passed. it's only a couple of months. if congress needs to debate it and reach a decision. absolutely, and this will take a long time. the process has been along all the steps that chile has taken towards more liberal legislation. you have to remember that chile is a country that even in 1990 was under military rule underpin 0'shea —— under pinochet. this has been welcomed by 93v pinochet. this has been welcomed by gay advocates in chile saying it's a step in the right direction towards getting rid of discrimination. that's why it matters so much. they are pleased with what has happened but there is a long way to do. why did bachelet choose now to push the agenda? she is a woman of quite liberal tendencies, although quite conservative in her own way. she did lead the un women department of the

un fora time. lead the un women department of the un for a time. i think she wanted to leave a legacy for chile and the women of chile and poor minorities who have been gender repressed, so to speak. this is her legacy for chile to return it to what it once was, a liberal society. we'll what happens. we can turn to some business news. the us dollar weakened today — hitting an 18 month low against the euro as the prospect of an interest rate rise has receded. tropical storm harvey has led analysts to assume the us central bank will not want to risk curbing economic growth by raising rates. michelle fleury is in new york. how do people understand this change? 1.20 of the dollar to the euro. we have seen the dollar hit a

16 month low against the euro. a lot of this has to do with what they think this storm will mean for the us economy as well as that north korean missile launch. broadly speaking there have been concerns about the strength of the us economy in the wake of this. you have the fourth—largest city in america essentially shut down for at least a week. economists are starting to try to calculate how much that means in terms of lost economic output. beyond that you have the oil industry, a huge and important region within the oil industry, the houston area. about half of america's refining capacity is in that area. all of that at the moment, a lot of it is locked down, about 16% shut down because of this tropical storm. as we start to move forward , tropical storm. as we start to move forward, people are looking at models to say, hang on a second, this could potentially shave off one or two tenths of a percentage point of economic growth in the next

quarter. that's why investors are starting to bet, if we thought the federal reserve would raise rates one more time this year because of this, they will rethink it. and getting into the north korean missile crisis and hurricane harvey with that answer. drilling down in houston, what numbers are we talking about that could actually, the amount of money that may not flow from houston in the coming months? at the moment we are talking about businesses being shut down for at least a week. as i mentioned you have the oil industry there. there has been lots of speculation about cost, whether it's 6— $8 billion. how many billion dollars in lost output? further down the road you will get into rebuilding. people are estimating the storm could cost, certainly not as much perhaps as hurricane katrina did, or

superstorms sandy, but possibly on a scale after that. that's the kind of cost that they think about after this storm. when you talk about figures that big, it has a knock—on effect on the economy and that's where you get to the idea that the federal rate is lower to try to stimulate the economy and give it time to recover. that will bring some growth back to the area, all the construction required when the water recedes. thank you for speaking to us. australia is in the grips of a national orange shortage and some drinks manufacturers are having to import from abroad because there isn't enough home—grown fruit. hywel griffith has the details. groan under the south australian sun, these trees might look laden with oranges, but however fast they are picked, there's not to go round.

shoppers are warned they can no longer expect theirjuice to be made with australian oranges, which is confusing where then seems to be plenty and shops. jeff says growers have been hit with a perfect storm. 0ver have been hit with a perfect storm. over the years production costs have gone up and so few have been producing valencia oranges for juicing. but now there is a surge in demand for all oranges led by china. we have just come out of probably the worst six months in my memory. i have been in this since high school. massive demand for even valencia oranges. it follows through on to the valencia season being sucked up by asia. we finished up doing something i never thought we would do, we actually imported container after container of whole oranges, juicing valencia oranges from egypt, of all places. australia exports two thirds of the food it grows, and china has become its biggest and

hungriest customer. after huge success exporting iron on cold to china in the last decade, some argue australia should become a food bowl for asia. there is demand for oranges, apples and grapes and australian meat. when it comes to oranges it's a trading success story that has put the squeeze on the australian supplies. hywel griffith, bbc news, adelaide. 0ne scottish beer—maker has found a new way to keep its workers happy. brewdog, the craft beer producer, has pledged to give 20% of its profits away — to staff and charity. if brewdog hits its profit targets, it will giveaway $58 million dollars over the next 5 years. lucky things. two major world weather stories to

bring you tonight. first of all, the catastrophic weather warning from hurricane harvey. 0ver catastrophic weather warning from hurricane harvey. over a metre has fallen at the official weather service site in houston. there could be another 35 centimetres before the week is out, more than two years worth of rain in london. imagine that falling in a few days. the storm has now moved out back to open waters. the wind is circulating around it anticlockwise, bringing moisture back in and feeding storm clouds. the rain continues to fall in torrents in south—eastern parts of texas, all the way to louisiana and mississippi. in these areas we will continue to see intense storms. further flash flooding and south—eastern parts of texas, the storm moves and things will improve weather—wise. for the likes of houston it looks like things will stay dry for the west of the week from wednesday onwards with sunshine at times and lighter wind. but a wind change of direction by the time we get to the start of next week could bring storm clouds back and be flooding problems will go on for

weeks if not months yet. the re m na nts of weeks if not months yet. the remnants of harvey, eventually the storm will move as a deep area of low pressure pushing north into tennessee and kentucky. it could cause some flooding, but nowhere near the scale we have seen in texas. 0ther near the scale we have seen in texas. other parts of the world where floods have been devastating is parts of southern asia, bangladesh and north—east india, boots and and nepal. 0ver bangladesh and north—east india, boots and and nepal. over 14 million people have now been displaced by floods and it's believed there have been more than 1000 deaths. there could be even worsening conditions to come. this is the storm that hit parts of southern china and hong kong. its feeding the moisture wwe universe now. lots of storms at present with bright colours across parts of northern vietnam, northern laos, —— it's feeding the moisture

west now. rivers already at record flood levels. things could deteriorate further as we going to the start of next week. in europe, quieter conditions in comparison, certainly through the central and eastern areas. some storms in the aegean areas. big storm clouds we have seen across spain spreading towards france and that could cause flash flooding. we are likely to see temperatures drop and the same will happen in the uk as far as temperature drops are concerned tomorrow. rain in the south—east. 10 degrees temperature drop compared to today. across the board a pretty disappointing run—up to the end of august. more in an hour. hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is 0utside source. president trump is in texas as devastating flooding continues. he says he wants the relief effort to stand as an example of how to respond to a storm. we wanna be looked at in five or ten

years from now as this is the way to do it. but there's a new flood warning to tens of thousands of people in houston — two dams are overflowing. anger as north korea launches its latest missile, this time overjapan. translation: the missile that passed over our nation poses the greatest and gravest threat to our nation ever. but china says us and south korean military exercises are provoking pyongyang. and after more than a decade of exploring saturn and its moons, the cassini space probe is about to go out with a bang.
