5:46 pm
and people were just running from the carriage and bringing the other people down. when they got off, we could see remnants of peoples bags, they left what they could. there was blood on the floor and people running screaming telling people to get out, they were screaming and crying and the whole station was evacuated. people were coming out covered in blood and dirt. we got to the steps and it was the worst, it was a proper human crash that we all got stuck in, there was women underneath me, a woman said she was pregnant, a little boy had his face smashed into the step, i was holding on to the railing trying not to put my weight on anyone but there was layers of people screaming. it was really dramatic. some of those who witnessed what happened this morning at parsons green. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: 22 people have been injured after
5:47 pm
oui’ 22 people have been injured after our device was detonated on a packed tube station in london. a fireball was said to have been set off on the train. the device was hidden in a carrier bag. the area around parsons green station was evacuated and there was a stampede as passengers tried to flee from the scene. north korea has fired another ballistic missile overjapan korea has fired another ballistic missile over japan creating korea has fired another ballistic missile overjapan creating renewed tension in the region. the missile travelled more than 2000 miles landing in the sea. the japanese prime minister said that his country would not tolerate what he called dangerous provocative action. the united states also condemned the launch and called a un security council meeting tonight as richard lister now reports. siren
5:48 pm
across parts of northern japan, people woke to the sound of sirens again this morning. "take cover," said the message, "missile launch from north korea." it's the second time in less than a month. the intermediate range missile was launched near the north korean capital, flew into space above hokkaido, before crashing into the pacific. the japanese prime minister made clear he is expecting a tough international response. shinzo abe said north korea needs to be made to understand that if it continues on this path, there is no bright future for it. but north korea's leader kim jong—un seems untroubled by such threats. he's tested more missiles in a year than his predecessor did in a lifetime. and he's perfecting the nuclear warheads to arm them with. with american cities now in range, it's become an urgent problem for washington. the secretary of state rex tillerson leaving london this morning stressed the need for china and russia to take action, sentiment echoed by britain. kim jong—un is going
5:49 pm
to continue with these absolutely reckless and arranged provocations against what he sees as his enemies until somebody puts the kind of pressure on him that's going to make him sit up and listen. the only people who can do that the chinese. china hasjust backed more un sanctions against pyongyang, but refuses to end its oil sales to north korea. it's urging restraint and talks. but south korea's now boosting its own missile programme, and toughening its rhetoric. translation: dialogue with north korea is impossible at this point. sanctions and pressure will be stronger. but until north korea believes that talking is in its best interest, the testing seems likely to continue. richard lister, bbc news. unions representing nurses and other nhs staff have written to the

chancellor demanding a 3.9% pay rise linked to inflation. they say it is to make up for the pay freeze of recent yea rs. to make up for the pay freeze of recent years. 14 unions have joined together to ask for the increase as oui’ together to ask for the increase as our health editor now reports. after a week of intense debate about pay policy, nhs unions say there's still confusion for more than a million health workers in the uk. they say they have written directly to ministers with a pay claim, as there's been no government submission to the official pay review body. they argue that a higher pay rise will make it easier for hospitals to recruit, and will make up for the previous wage rises below inflation. the unions want an increase of 3.9%, in line with the broader retail prices in index inflation measure. they also want £800 each. to restore what they say is money lost in previous years. they say the total cost of £2.5 billion should come from new treasury funding. every day, people are leaving the nhs for better paid work elsewhere, so we're taking
5:51 pm
the unprecedented step of the trade unions are seizing this initiative and setting out what we would like the chancellor to set aside in the budget, so that all nhs staff can get a fair pay rise. some staff say the pressure of the job and low pay increases have progressively undermined morale. we're being so undervalued, it's a unique skill set, nursing. to be able to smile at someone who has just thrown a commode at you, or to be able to offer care in someone's. the moment, and being told with worth less and less, and less every year, carrying on with that is really difficult. in an unusual move, a group representing nhs employers in england said it was broadly sympathetic to the claim, because it was increasingly difficult to recruit and retain staff. i think it's absolutely understandable that the health unions have called for an end to the pay cap. we've seen austerity now fighting for the past seven years, and it's absolutely critical
5:52 pm
that we see that pay cap lifted so that we get enough staff on the front line, and we keep those staff that are there. a government spokeperson of the party was to ensure the overall package was fair, whilst also being affordable to taxpayers. submissions to official pay review bodies will be made in due course. hugh pym, bbc news. the pound has hit its highest level against the dollar since the brexit vote after a senior bank of england officials fuels speculation that interest rates could rise this year. he said that the moment is approaching when rates might need to go approaching when rates might need to 9° up approaching when rates might need to go up and he pointed to falling unemployment as well as signs that households are spending more. sterling rose more than i% households are spending more. sterling rose more than 1% against the dollar hitting $136. the government's top legal adviser is considering whether tougher penalties are needed to stop people

amazing discovery which showed that the tiny world could harbour lifelj think the major legacy of cassini is now we have found worlds with liquid water oceans underneath the icy crusts and that these worlds exist in the outer solar system. they do not have to be like the earth in the goldilocks zone, they could be a world around a giant planet and have conditions that are right for life. the spacecraft is now destroyed, that scientific legacy of the mission lives on, inspiring many more missions in search of light to a nswer more missions in search of light to answer one of the biggest questions in science, whether we are alone in the universe. and just to say, you... you can see more about the end say, you... of the cassini mission on monday, in a special horizon programme on bbc two at 9pm. a quick update on the number of people injured in the parsons green attack, 29 patients received by london hospitals, none of them seriously hurt. the ambulance service to 19 patients to hospital,
