for urgent new sanctions to be agreed at the un. for urgent new sanctions the blast detected near the punggye—ri underground test site in northwestern north korea is said by experts to have had more destructive power than the atomic bomb dropped on the japanese city of nagasaki at the end of world war ii. we'll report from beijing and tokyo in a moment — but first yogita limaye in seoul. and tokyo in a moment — it was a perfect success, the newsreader declared, as she announced north korea was close to achieving its nuclear goals. was close to achieving the country says it has detonated a hydrogen bomb small enough to be fitted to an intercontinental missile. this is kim jong—un inspecting what north korea claims is such a device. inspecting what north korea if true, it would mean that pyongyang is now capable of launching a nuclear attack on cities in the united states. this unprecedented threat prompted president trump to say, "south korea's talk of appeasement

with north korea will not work. "they only understand one thing," he declared. any threat to the united states or its territories, including guam, or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. it's a strong message to south korea's president, who for months has said talking to north korea was the solution. today he expressed outrage and disappointment. translation: north korea has made an absurd tactical mistake by committing a series of provocations such as launching icbm missiles and conducting a nuclear test which has high intentions a nuclear test which on the peninsula and is threatening world peace. it will isolate them further. threatening world peace. south korea is most worried because it has the most to lose. and that's why even though military

measures like these bombing drills are held in the face of the threat from north korea, it's hard to see what further action can be taken. from north korea, it's hard to see it's certainly our view that none of the military options are good. the distance between north korea and seoul is very, very small. they could basically vaporise large parts of the south korean population even with conventional weapons. parts of the south korean population here in seoul, a city that is home to tens of millions of people, we are only about 50 kilometres from the border with north korea, and at any given time, a mass of weapons is pointing in this direction. a mass of weapons is pointing and that's why rather than take a military route, the international community has been trying to put economic pressure on pyongyang. trying to put economic but that isn't working either. trying to put economic and the impact of every move kim jong—un makes is felt notjust in the korean peninsula, but also across the sea injapan. the pod under the belly of this

japanese air force jet can sniff the airfor radiation. japanese air force jet can sniff this afternoon, it roared off towards north korea to do just that. it's less than a week since north korea fired this missile across japan. since north korea fired this for prime minister abe, this is becoming an unwelcome routine. translation: together with the us, south korea, china and russia, japan will take determined action against north korea. north korea may now have tested a nuclear device that is small enough to put on top of a ballistic missile that could be fired at the united states, and for the government here injapan, that is very disturbing, because it raises a very troubling question. disturbing, because it raises in future, will the united states be willing to risk one of its own cities, say for example denver, in order to protect seoul and tokyo? denver, in order to this

denver, in order to afternoon, the us ambassador rushed this afternoon, the us ambassador rushed to see japan's foreign minister to reassure him. no action taken by the north koreans will in any way deter our commitment. japan and the us may have the military might to deter north korea, but they have few other levers to pressure pyongyang. only one country does, and that is china. china was quite literally shaken by the blast. north korea's nuclear test site is only 60 miles from the border. it will have sent a diplomaticjolt, too, coming just before president xiejin ping opened this international summit. although he made no direct reference, he warned of the challenges to world peace. on state

tv, the message was more blunt, with an official statement strongly condemning the test. there can be little doubt that the government here in beijing is rattled. once again, it has had to order emerges irradiation monitoring along the border, but despite the frustration, it may be reluctant to punish north korea too hard. china has recently been stopping cargoes of call and seafood in line with toughened un sanctions. but its biggest fear is not nuclear weapons. it's the chaos that would come with the economic colla pse that would come with the economic collapse of the impoverished state is shrouded in darkness on the other side of this river. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. i'm bbc news, beijing. joined in the studio by our north i'm joined in the studio by our north america editorjon sopel. what has the us reaction been like? was an act of extraordinary defines that we have seen from north korea. the

other thing worth pointing out is that for all donald trump's talk of fire and fury, of us weapons being locked and loaded, that seems to have had no effect on possibly could have had no effect on possibly could have made things worse, so you have the us looking at some not very good options. we've heard about the military solution not being great. and so you have a situation where everything will still have to go through china. so long as you have got china believing that a nuclear north korea is preferable to a failing state north korea, then it's ha rd to failing state north korea, then it's hard to see any dramatic breakthrough. so not very good options, but what are the most likely one is to be pursued by the us? we have heard the defence secretary, mattis, talking about the decisive response. we have also heard them talking about the possibility of stopping trade with any nation that is trading with north korea. that means china. that would set the global economy back massively if it did happen. maybe it

isa massively if it did happen. maybe it is a way of saying to china, we are really serious about this and you have got to do something. it may be that there are back channels that are open and the chinese are hurting pressure, but as things stand, we have north korea, whose military capability is accelerated dramatically, and an american president who is saying, the time for talking is over. that's not a happy combination. jon sopel, thank you. here, the brexit secretary david davis has said that the european commission is making itself look "silly" by saying that talks with britain aren't making progress. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says british people need to understand the "extremely serious consequences" of leaving. theresa may faces a parliamentary battle this week with the first commons debate on brexit legislation, as chris mason reports. on brexit legislation, still some way apart. on brexit legislation, the uk and the eu. on brexit legislation, david davis and michel barnier at last week's talks. a huge sticking point is money. at last week's talks. the divorce bill. at last week's talks. today, mr davis insisted the uk would not be pressured into paying more than its fair share.

would not be pressured into paying we are basically going through this very systematically, a very british way, a very pragmatic way of doing it, and of course he's finding it difficult. way of doing it, and of course he's and he wants to put pressure on us, which is why the stance is this week in the press conference. which is why the stance is this week bluntly, i think it looked a bit silly, because they're plainly were things we've achieved. silly, because they're plainly and yes, there were spiky exchanges between the two men at thursday's news conference. exchanges between the two men mr barnier has since spent the weekend on the banks of lake como in italy. the weekend on the banks he told the conference here he does not want to blackmail the uk, but added, "there are extremely serious consequences of leaving the single market, and it hasn't been explained to the british people. and it hasn't been explained "we intend to teach people what leaving the single market means. "the future of europe is more important than brexit. "far more important." important than brexit. meanwhile, the rows about leaving the eu return here this week.

the planned new law that is needed to make it happen will be discussed in the commons, and remember, the prime minister's parliamentary predicament is precarious. she nurses a tiny majority. predicament is precarious. and that's why the debate on repealing this — the act that took us into the eu — matters so much. labour says it will vote against the law as planned, which will eventually be stored here, unless it's changed, including the option of staying in the single market during a transitional period after brexit. i've been very, very clear. period after brexit. whilst we accept the result of the referendum, we're not giving a blank cheque the government to do it in whichever way it wants, because it's not in the public interest. this means any rebellion from just a handful of conservative mps would leave the prime minister in real trouble. discussions on delivering brexit are getting rather blustery. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. thousands of members

of myanmar‘s rohinga minority are continuing to flee across the border into neighbouring bangladesh. across the border into they're escaping a military crackdown after rohinga militants attacked police positions a week ago. nearly 73,000 have fled, and human rights groups accuse the myanmar army of atrocities and indescriminate violence. the treatment of myanmar‘s muslim minority is the biggest challenge facing leader aung san suu kyi, accused by critics of not speaking out for the persecuted minority. accused by critics of not speaking sanjoy majumder has the latest from the bangladesh—myanmar border. it from the bangladesh—myanmar border. is a long a| freedom. it is a long and torturous flight to freedom. the rohingya who cannot make it on their own are helped along, leaving them behind could get them killed. so they labour on, bringing with them what ever

possessions they could carry. some far too young to understand what happened. this is the mainland route through which the rohingyas are now entering bangladesh. on the other side of the mountain is myanmar, and they say they can slip in without being detected easily. but it also means that they have a steep climb through the mountains and they have to walk through the forests and wade through the streams before they can get to one of the refugee camps. but at least they're alive. they've lost their homes, their villages have been burned to the ground, and many have seen their relatives murdered. translation: my brother was killed. they shot him in the chest. i couldn't even take him a proper grave. i somehow managed to bury him just buy a house, and then i left. it's hard to verify what is

happening. no one is being allowed in. but fresh plumes of smoke can be seen from the bangladesh side, presumably from burning villages. bangladesh has now relaxed its borders, and the floodgates have opened. rohingyas are streaming in by the hundreds every hour. thousands of others are waiting to cross over. those who have made it our exhausted and overcome. translation: we've been on the road for four days. our food ran out on the first night, and we haven't eaten since then. but space is running out for the new arrivals. they are squeezed into camps, schools, or just arrivals. they are squeezed into camps, schools, orjust out in the open. theirfirst hurdle camps, schools, orjust out in the open. their first hurdle was to make it here alive. now they have to figure out how to survive. sanjoy majumder, bbc news, on the bangladesh border. hospital managers in england have called for an emergency financial bail—out, saying they are bracing themselves for the worst
