hello. welcome to outside source. north korea has fired an unidentified ballistic missile. that's according to the south koreas. we're live at the us state department. two top democrats have pulled out a key meeting with president trump, after he attacked them on twitter. katty kay will explain that one. the pope has urged myanmar‘s ethnic groups to respect each others‘ rights but made no mention of the rohingya muslims during his visit there. we‘ll hear on the latest from the submarine that disappeared in the south atlantic. just over two hours ago, this came in from just over two hours ago, this came infrom — just over two hours ago, this came in from — into the bbc news room. it was from the south korea news

agency, citing the staff there, saying north korea fired a ballistic missile. not long after that, we got a statement from the pentagon saying at broxly130pm, 18sogmt, we detected a probable missile launch from north korea. it went on, we‘re in the process of assessing the situation and will provide additional details when available. also, south korean officials are being quoted saying they believe the launch was made from a city called pyongsong. it was reported this missile was fired over the sea between south korea and japan. it‘s worth adding that yesterday japan detected radio signals which suggested north korea may be preparing for another missile launch. let‘s speak to our correspondent live at the us state department. any missile test is going to be significant. do we have any going to be significant. do we have a ny clu es going to be significant. do we have any clues as to what kind of missile this was? pentagon said initial reports are

that it‘s an intercontinental ballistic missile. but it was determined that this test launch did not pose a threat to north america oi’ not pose a threat to north america or to us allies. in terms of the actual launch, based on figures from the pentagon from the south koreans and japanese, it flew about a thousand kilometres. it reached an altitude of 4,000 kilometres, which is higher than a previous similar launch back in july. is higher than a previous similar launch back injuly. it broke up into pieces before it landed in the sea of japan. so into pieces before it landed in the sea ofjapan. so still into pieces before it landed in the sea of japan. so still problems with the missiles, but clearly north korea is developing its missile capability despite sanctions and the us campaign to isolate it. it's been two months since the last test. i guess with this one happening, there goes the theory that perhaps pyongyang was cooling on the idea of pursuing this. yeah, it's always speculation. about why pong yong

does what it does or doesn‘t do what it doesn‘t do. two months without a missile had some hoping that perhaps the campaign was working, that perhaps pyongyang was considering the talks that the americans are asking for. this being on the pre—condition that it agreed, that ultimately it will give up its weapons programme, something that pyongyang has said it will never do. there are more simple explanations for why they might not have been firing missiles. at this time of year, they don‘t tend to fire a lot of missiles because of the weather. who knows, we did get a bit of a statement from president trump in the last few minutes. he said, "we'll the last few minutes. he said, "we‘ll take care of it." the defence secretary is in the room, we‘ve had a long discussion, it is a situation that we will handle. but mr trump was a bit more preoccupied today with domestic issues than this test. barbara, thank you very much. barbara, thank you very much. barbara read thering from the transcript of this statement from

donald trump, which has been supplied to all the main news organisations. i can play you some of what the president has been saying. here it is thank you very much. as you probably have heard, and some of you have reported, a missile was launched a little while ago from north korea. i will only tell thaw we will take care of it. we have general mattis in the room with us. we‘ve had a long discussion on it. it is a situation that we will handle. we'll take care of it, we‘ll handle it says the president. we await details on precisely how he intends to do that. let‘s carry on talking about donald trump. he was supposed to be meeting kong compressional leaders today to thrash out extending the funding of the us government. that meeting was going to include the senior democrats nancy pelosi and chuck shcumer. then he tweeted: what could

probably go wrong with a tweet like that? not long after that, they put out a statement: in other words they pulled out of the meeting. on top of all this, the president‘s trying to assemble enough support on capitol hill to get tax reforms through. there‘s a lot going on. i‘ve been talking to katty kay in washington. here she is on whether the democrats can actually by pass donald trump when it comes to government funding. not entirely. in the end they will have to deal with the white house. this is the problem that all members of congress, from both political parties have. look, it‘s not easy for them on capitol hill at the moment. they wake up every morning wondering who is going to be the latest senator to be criticised on twitter by the president. he‘s now,

by the latest calculations, criticised one in five republican senators publicly. you might think that makes capitol hill say ok, right, we‘re backing away from all. this in the end they need the white house there to get the votes through for things to get on the phone, to call up members of congress, to call up call up members of congress, to call up the senators. they do all have to work together. but you‘re seeing this, let‘s face it, slightly school ya rd battle this, let‘s face it, slightly school yard battle going on between nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and president trump, and you wonder when the adults will return to washington. part reason they're going through this dance is it‘s not just about government funding, it‘s about broader issues such as immigration, is that right? yes, thats what the democrats last time around, that they did do a deal with president trump to keep the government open for three months. in return, they thought they had a deal on these so—called dreamers, the young people who were brought to america by their parents illegally, but who were given protected status

under president obama. they want to protect those young people. they thought they‘d got some kind of deal from the president in order to do that. they will carry on holding out for that. they don‘t want to be seen as backing away from protecting the dreamers. that‘s probably the sing the most important issue that they‘re going to ask for in exchange for helping keeping the government open. that's one thing i want to ask you about. the other is tax. stay with us, please. because while that meeting may not be going ahead, there have been meetings between donald trump and republicans. he‘s trying to sell his tax reforms to them. it‘s not proving plain sailing. this report from the non—partisan congressional office won‘t help. its numbers show those earning less are likely to be ha rd est earning less are likely to be hardest hit by the changes. if you look at the assessment of a data reporter not new york times. he says in 2018, 30% of the middle class will be hit hardest by these plans. by will be hit hardest by these plans. by 2027, it could be between 50% and 100%. i guess donald trump would

dismiss the new york times as fake news, it‘s harder to dismiss a non—partisan report. news, it‘s harder to dismiss a non-partisan report. right. ithisi this is a game of pick your expert. i spoke to a senior republican senator just about a couple of i spoke to a senior republican senatorjust about a couple of hours ago, who sits on the finance committee. he‘s the guy who‘s been responsible for trying to usher this tax reform proposal through. i put it to him that there are these reports out there and that this tax reform bill will actually increase the american deficit by something like $2 trillion. he said he prefers to believe the other economists not saying that. when you get into economics you pick the statistics that seem to pack up your particular proposal. we know that according to opinion polls, this tax reform plan is not particularly popular with the american public. if it gets passed into law and people start feeling it, if the middle class starts feel it, if the middle class starts feel it, some time around the end of next year, heading into the mid—term elections, they may say, listen, this was the republican party who gave us this was the republican party who gave us a this was the republican party who gave us a tax reform plan which has

made us poorer not richer and we‘re not sure we want to vote these people back into office. what the republicans are saying is that this tax reform plan will increase economic growth in the country and that will lift up everybody and everybody will be better off because of that. one broader question for you. i remember a of that. one broader question for you. i remembera while of that. one broader question for you. i remember a while back now, rahm emmanuel, when chief of staff for president obama at 2008 saying at the beginning of your presidency you have the most political capital and you have to decide how to spend it. donald trump had a lot of political capital, we‘re approaching the end of the year and it‘s not clear in terms of legislation what he‘s got in return. clear in terms of legislation what he's got in return. yeah, you and i might feel we‘re in a washing machine every day with the trump administration. so much news, so many administration. so much news, so ma ny tweets administration. so much news, so many tweets are sent out, so many people being criticise. if you look in terms of legislative achievements, this has been a spectacularly uneventful presidency. they haven‘t done all the things they wanted to do, despite the fact they wanted to do, despite the fact they have the house of representatives, the senate, the white house and the supreme court in their favour. that‘s a

white house and the supreme court in theirfavour. that‘s a problem white house and the supreme court in their favour. that‘s a problem too. voters are going to say, hold on, we handed you guys an enormous amount of power and you haven‘t used it to achieve very much for us. we want some kind of results, which is why this tax reform bill, which is arcane and a bit dry, it is politically very important. they need a within and they would like it —— win and they would like it before the end of the year. you can see catty and christian fraser on beyond 100 days. now next we turn to myanmar. you might have thought the pope would wa nt to might have thought the pope would want to use his visit there to talk about the rohingya muslims. they are victims of text book ethnic cleansing, according to the un. but he didn‘t. in a speech earlier, there was plenty on leaders in myanmar respecting human rights, but not a word about the rohingya. that‘s not an oversight. this word itself is potent in myanmar. this is how the rohingyas refer to themselves, but many in myanmar don‘t use it. they refer to them as

bell gallies. in other words —— bengalis, by not using that word the pope opted out of controversy‘s way. over 600,000 rohingya, mainly from rakhine state, have gone into the bangladesh because of a military crack down. that crack down began in august, after attacks by rohingya militants. the director of human rights watch cuts to it in his criticism saying: so some stark criticism for the pope. bear in mind at this point we saw from the bbc‘s jonathan pope. bear in mind at this point we saw from the bbc‘sjonathan head that pope francis is meeting senior military figures, butjonathan says: anything he says will they actually influence these uncompromising figures? jonathan says that seems doubtful. our correspondent has been covering the pope‘s visit. a military band announces the

arrival of pope francis. a world away from the terror felt by 600,000 rohingya muslims who, since august, have fled into bangladesh. today pope francis met with myanmar‘s de fa cto pope francis met with myanmar‘s de facto leader, aung san suu kyi. with human rights organisations urging him to name the rohingya as victims, despite myanmar not recognising them as citizens. myanmar‘s civilian leader, who shares power with the army, spoke first, acknowledging the focus on rakhine, where rohingya have lived for generations. as we address long standing issues, the support of our people and of good friends, who only wish to see us succeed in our endeavours, has been

invaluable. aung san suu kyi chose to say little about the crisis. expectations then shifted to pope francis. translation: the future of myanmar must be peace based on respect for the dignity and right of each member of society. respect for each ethnic group and its identity, none excluded. pope francis praised the united nations, but he did not refer to the un‘s accusation that myanmar has engaged in ethnic cleansing. and while he said the future of this nation must include all people, regardless of their race and religion, he did not use the word "rohingya". those working with rohingya refugees say the pope surrendered his moral authority by not offering an explicit criticism. but many in a country that‘s 75% buddhist were relieved he didn‘t

mention the rohingya by name. translation: it was wise of him not to use the world. the world is hearing the wrong message. the pope may also have been mindful of potential repercussions for another religious minority. christians make up religious minority. christians make upjust 6% religious minority. christians make up just 6% of the population here and many have travelled to take part ina and many have travelled to take part in a special mass, where pope francis will preside tomorrow. inafew in a few minutes we turn to nairobi, where the president has been sworn infora where the president has been sworn in for a second term. on the streets of nairobi today there wasn‘t unity. the british government is introducing new measures aimed at reducing the numbers of deaths and serious injuries during child birth.

independent investigations will now be carried out into a thousand cases every year, where the babies die unexpectedly or are left with a severe brain injury. coroners could be given the power to look at stillbirths for the first time. the uk has some of the highest levels of stillbirth in western europe. the chief executive of sans, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity, explains the gravity of the situation. we're talking about 5,500 a year, which is 15 every day. i think that‘s a figure that not many people know and is far too high. i think the idea of reducing the number of deaths by 20% by 2020 is manageable. and bringing in the focus to 2025 is really important because then we keep the momentum going. this is outside source. we‘re live

in the bbc news room. our lead story concerns north korea. it‘s fired a ballistic missile, according to the south koreans and americans, again raising tensions on the peninsula. we bring you the main stories from bbc world service. one of the most prominent saudis being held in an anticorruption prominent saudis being held in an anticorru ption drive is prominent saudis being held in an anticorruption drive is reported to have been freed after more than three weeks. several members of the saudi royalfamily three weeks. several members of the saudi royal family have tweeted theirjoy saudi royal family have tweeted their joy that the prince saudi royal family have tweeted theirjoy that the prince has been released, though there hasn‘t been official confirmation. ireland‘s deputy prime minister has stepped down in the midst of political crisis that threatens the country‘s government. revelations over a plan to discredit a police whistle—blower when she was justice minister. well, we‘ve learned more about the royal wedding next year. prince harry and the american actress meghan markle will marry in may. it

will take place at st george‘s chapel in windsor castle. we‘re also told that meghan markle will become a british citizen and the royal family will be covering the cost of reading wedding and reception. —— cost of the wedding and reception they have, in the words of their spokesman, been overwhelmed by the amount of support they‘ve received from britain and elsewhere in the world to the news of their engagement. and now, harry and meghan are starting to organise the wedding, taking charge over all aspects of the ceremony themselves, according to their officials. as they do so, other members of the royal family have been expressing their happiness at the news of the engagement. william and i are absolutely thrilled. it‘s such exciting news. it‘s a really happy time for any couple. we wish them all the best and hope they enjoy this happy moment. america's loss is ourgain. we're all this happy moment. america's loss is our gain. we're all absolutely delighted, as you can see, they're so delighted, as you can see, they're so happy. sometimes, you know, in a

climate where we're surrounded by a lot of bad news, it's a realjoy to have a bit of good news for once. the first big decision in terms of the wedding planning is the venue. the ceremony will take place inside windsor castle in the historic st george‘s chapel. the month on the invitations will be may, a precise date has still to be decided. the 15th century chapel, festooned with the banners of the knights of the garter is where harry was christianed. the disadvantage is the size. it can seat only 800 guests, fewer than half the capacity of westminster abbey. it is, though, a more intimate setting. it was where the marriage of the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall was blessed in 2005, after their wedding ina blessed in 2005, after their wedding in a register office. in windsor today, reaction to having another royal wedding in the town was predictably positive. absolutely amazing. we‘re so excited about it. jo that‘s fantastic. really nice, yeah, lovely. it will be good for

windsor as well, really good.|j yeah, lovely. it will be good for windsor as well, really good. i live locally. it will be nice to have such a fabulous event in the local area. aside from wedding preparations meghan will be applying for british citizenship, as she made clear in yesterday‘s interview, she wa nts to clear in yesterday‘s interview, she wants to get to know britain better. i think wants to get to know britain better. ithink in wants to get to know britain better. i think in these beginning few months and now being boots on the ground in the uk, i‘m excited to just really get to know more about the different communities here, smaller organisations who are working on the same causes that i‘ve a lwa ys working on the same causes that i‘ve always been passionate about. that process of getting to know her new country will start this friday in nottingham, the city will witness the first official engagement of the new royal team prince harry and meghan markle. of course, there‘s much more on the royal engagement on the bbc website. now let‘s turn to the us again, because the us federal reserve looks likely to raise interest rates next month. at least that‘s whatjerome

powell has been saying. he‘s the nominee to be the head of the fed. he signalled this earlier during a confirmation hearing. i guess, if he wa nts confirmation hearing. i guess, if he wants it to happen, it‘s going to happen, right? well he was really careful in the kind of messaging that he was presenting when he was testifying today on capitol hill. there say protocol that exists when it comes to making these decisions. it is more of a group decision making. he really tried to tread carefully when law makers were asking him directly — well, are we going to see a rate rise or not? i wa nt to going to see a rate rise or not? i want to throw to a clip, so you can have a listen to a bit of what he said in his confirmation hearing. the fed remained committed after the financial crisis to provide significant accommodation to the economy as it recovered. when i joined in 2012, about five years ago, i think unemployment was still above 8%. i think we've been patient

in removing accommodation and i think that patience has served us well. i think now the economy is strong, unemployment is low, growth is strong, in fact, it appears to have picked up. so it's time for us to be normalising interest rates and the size of the balance sheet as well. if that sounds familiar, it actually should. because it‘s very close to the kinds of things that we‘ve heard from the current chair, whom mr powell is going to take over from in february. in terms of moving from in february. in terms of moving from one fed chair to another, the fa ct from one fed chair to another, the fact that we‘re seeing so many similarities between the two in terms of what they think the direction of the fed is going to be going forward that‘s really good news for the financial markets because it really signals a lot of stability going forward. we talk often about interest rate rises or speculation around interest rate rises in the us. why are they so

important to the notjust rises in the us. why are they so important to the not just the rises in the us. why are they so important to the notjust the us economy, but actually the global economy, but actually the global economy sf so much of what happening on the global economy actually happens in us dollars. when people wa nt to happens in us dollars. when people want to make money, they come to the united states. they will trade their companies in the united states if they want to raise capital. a lot of what happens is done so in us currency. also, what happens with the us currency in terms of interest rates also has an influence on interest rates all around the world. so it‘s really pretty important to pay attention to whether you‘re in the united states or if you‘re elsewhere in the world. thank you very much indeed. now let‘s talk about airbus, rolls royce and siemens. they are joining forces to develop a hybrid electric engine for planes. each is going to invest tens of millions of dollars into this programme. this is a tiny two seater electric plane developed by airbus. it can run entirely on

batteries or over longer distances asa batteries or over longer distances as a hybrid with a conventional engine helping to power the electric motors. now the company in tandem with siemens and rolls royce wants to convert a regional passengerjet. the idea is to develop technologies which may one day be used in commercial aircraft. and here‘s why they‘re doing it: hybrid aircraft should use less fuel than conventional planes and since fuel is one of the biggest costs airlines face, it should be a lot cheaper to run. secondly, electric motors are quieter thanjet run. secondly, electric motors are quieter than jet engines. that means an electric or hybrid plane could be used for night flights or to fly into city centres. there‘s pollution too, a hybrid plane should emit less knocks and carbon dioxide than a conventional plane. with air traffic scheduled to double over 20 years reducing emissions could be an absolute priority.

wa nted absolute priority. wanted to mention this, so many people are sharing it online. this isa people are sharing it online. this is a report posted on the front of the telegraph‘s website reporting that british and eu negotiators have reached a deal on the so—called brexit divorce bill. that‘s one of the three key issues that needs to be resolved for the talks to progress. this article quotes sources as confirming, sources on both sides that assaying an agreement in principle has been reached over the eu‘s demand for a 60 billion euro financial settlement ahead of a meeting on monday between theresa may, the prime minister, and jean—claude juncker, president ever the european commission. we understand the final figure will be between 45 billion euros and 55 billion euros. the thing to emphasise here is that at bbc news, we can‘t confirm this story, but already there‘s been reaction to it. the financial times has been reporting that the pound jumped on this report being released. we know the british government is denying

the british government is denying the story and the european union has declined to comment. so make of all that what you will. we didn‘t want to ignore it completely because it‘s being so widely covered. now a quick reminder that north korea has carried out a missile test, just as we end this half of outside source, let me play you what president trump said about that. thank you very much. as you probably have heard, and some of you have reported a missile was launched a little while ago from north korea. i will only tell you that we will take care of it. we have general matison in the room with us. we‘ve had a long discussion on it. it is a situation that we will handle. in the next half, we have stories from burkina faso, from germany and also from kenya. see you then. hello there. november has been a

very stormy month across parts of the west in particular the north west united states and western canada. looks like the month is going to end on a stormy note too with another round of low pressure moving through during tuesday and wednesday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds and mountain snow. we have another system poised to push m, have another system poised to push in, heading into thursday and friday. now this system will be bringing very heavy snow to british colombia, heavy rain to lower levels. ahead of it there should be dry weather for a levels. ahead of it there should be dry weatherfor a time levels. ahead of it there should be dry weather for a time across washington state, oregon and northern california too. it won‘t be long until wednesday night, thursday, that system makes inroads and brings a lot of very heavy rain to vancouver, seattle and certainly to vancouver, seattle and certainly to portland. for los angeles there it is fine and dry. into south east asia, we‘re looking at exceptionally heavy rain throughout the this week. we‘ve got a lot more to come. if we just zoom into java here, there has been a tropical storm developing off the south coast. this system is moving away from land and will eventually weaken out in open waters. but there‘s going to be

widespread heavy thunder storms around this part of the world and even further north to much of malaysia, southern thailand torrential down pours in the next couple of days, so the risk of land slides and flash flooding. this system is tied into heavy rain across the bay of bengal into southern india and sri lanka. can you see in the last 24 hours, explosive cloud development here with so much rain falling. now as we head on deeper into the week, it looks like this system might develop into a tropical storm, potentially heading into the weekend. we could look at damaging winds and torrential rain. we‘ll keep you posted on this. into europe now. this area of low pressure has been quite potent the last 24 hours. its brought heavy thunder storms to the eastern mediterranean. in towards the black sea. we now focus our attention to this area of low pressure, moving into southern portugal, central southern spain. this is going to continue to move eastwards a cross this is going to continue to move eastwards across the mediterranean,

pick up moisture and warmth over the warm waters here and develop into an intense area of low pressure as it reaches greece and the balkans by the end of the week, we could be looking at significant flooding once again. now much of western europe will see a real surge of cold air moving down from the arctic, spreading across the british isles into much of france and will reach as low as central southern spain and parts of corsica and sardinia, unusually cold there for this time of year. back home, it‘s going to be another cold day on wednesday. add on that wind chill across the north and the east, because of the strong winds, it will feel bitter cold. plenty of showers here, some of them wintry as well. the best of sunshine southern and western areas. temperatures three to seven degrees. it's temperatures three to seven degrees. it‘s set to stay really cold for the rest of the week. a full forecast in about half an hour. hello, i‘m ros atkins with outside source. these are some of the main stories in the bbc newsroom. north korea has fired an unidentified

ballistic missile according to the south koreans. two top democrats pulled out of a key meeting with donald trump on the funding of the us government after he attacked them on twitter. the pope is arjun myanmar‘s ethnic groups to respect each other‘s right —— each other‘s leaders‘ rights but —— each others‘ rates but he made no mention by name of the rohingya muslims who had to flee to bangladesh. and we will have more on the missing submarine. outside source is an hour of the biggest global stories brought to you here from inside the bbc newsroom and we will start this half in kenya, because uhuru kenyatta has been sworn in for a second term as president and he spoke of uniting the nation, but frankly that looked

a little way off. because well the inauguration ceremony was happening in nairobi, the opposition leader raila odinga was taking part in a second. given he didn‘t take part in the election, it looks unlikely, but remember there was a rerun because the first was declared void after irregularities and then raila odinga pulled out of the second one because he didn‘t feel enough had been done to deal with those irregularities. these are some of the pictures we have of clashes between the protesters and police. we know that two people died during these clashes, and as i said that president today has been emphasising unity. here he is earlier... i. i, too, listened carefully to my competitors, and i will try to

incorporate their ideas. this is because the election was not a contest between a good dream and a bad dream. it was a contest between two competing visions. that was the president in nairobi. our correspondent is there as well. it is not lost on the president that this is the deeply divided country, and that‘s why he made that very conciliatory speech. however, it‘s going to take more than a speech to reach out to the opposition and to unite the country. this is a contest that was boycotted by the opposition in which the president won by 98% of the vote, however the turnout was historically low, especially for this country, at just 38%. less than half of the people who voted during the first election in august took part. and so there is a lot that still needs to be done, to heal the people who do not believe that the election that was held was credible and was legitimate. on the other hand, the opposition has today pronounced that they will hold a swearing—in ceremony for their leader raila odinga, who said

that he will be sworn in on the 12th of december, which is independence day in kenya. a very significant day. in the past, mr odinga has threatened to have himself sworn in, after he lost elections which he said had been stolen from him. but he did not make good that threat, so in a way the country has heard that before, but there is no telling what will happen on the 12th when the country will be holding another big event, just like today‘s, to celebrate independence day. but clearly from the events of today the stand—off, politically, still continues in this country, and a lot still needs to be done to bring the different sides together. welcomer now we will move from east

to west africa, because the french president emmanuel macron is in burkina faso and he has been acknowledging it has taken far too long to set up a west african force designed to fight islamist extremism. we should put the sullen context in terms of french intervention in this part of the world. in 2011 the french made a key role in the ivory coast upholding the election result, and a couple of yea rs later the election result, and a couple of years later in 2013 france sent troops to fight islamists in mali and even sends macron‘s election this year he has been lobbying europe to back this idea of a west african military force. this force would not just operate african military force. this force would notjust operate in burkina faso but the idea is it will take on islamist militants in burkina faso, mali, mauritania, niger and islamist militants in burkina faso, mali, mauritania, nigerand chad. i have been speaking to a regular outside source on why this west african force is taking so long. well, the excuse is money. that‘s the problem. i think he‘s been having much more difficulties than he thought to actually gather all the money necessary, because his idea

is actually to have a french force there, but also to reinforce the regional military forces on the ground, because they would be the ones who eventually would take over anyway. and he has been promised more money from the us, but i think it‘s been taking a while to come concrete, so basically that‘s what he‘s been seeing today. he said during the speech, and really keen to be accelerated this. again, i want this to happen, so, you know, hopefully this is something he is really keen to make happening. to make happen. interesting to hear what he said about tone, and how france was no longer going to turn up and tell africa what to do? yes, it is interesting, because he arrived in a context where there was a lot of tension, there was a grenade thrown onto a bus last night, then one of the minibuses with a french delegation was attacked today.

and then as he was doing the speech, there was protest outside, so obviously it is still always around the same issue, france and africa, you know, what is the relationship, what do we have is a relationship here? and obviously now he is coming to talk to the young people, you know, obviously playing the card, "i‘m young, i‘m from a new generation, i‘m not going to tell you what to do, you need to take your future in your hands," but then that is all well and good to say, but everyone knows that the french and african relationships have always been much more underground, and we have been really linked to, you know, companies using resources. so that‘s what people are protesting against in burkina faso and other countries, so there is this huge movement there called the citizen broom, so they want to clean, you know, the history of burkina faso, and their relationship with france. so that‘s why they were there today, and they are always kind of coming out when the french politicians come in, because they are fed up with this relationship, and they wanted to change. and obviously in his speech, that‘s what he was saying. now mayor in germany has survived

the night attack that appears connected to his pro—refugee policy. this is andreas hollstein, the mayor ofa this is andreas hollstein, the mayor of a small town in the west of germany called altena. as you can see if we go even closer, it is a small place, with around 17,000 residents. well, it doesn‘t look like that on the map but take my word for it. it is a small place and it has recently gotten bigger, in pa rt it has recently gotten bigger, in part because it has taken in 280 refugees. in fact they have even won a national award for doing so. that was part of angela merkel‘s decision to allow a million refugees and migrants to come to germany in 2015 and a little 2016. chancellor merkel is appalled by this attack, we are told. he was a tweet from a german minister. we should never accept attacks on

people just helping others. should never accept attacks on peoplejust helping others. our country must not tolerate heated. we can hearfrom country must not tolerate heated. we can hear from the country must not tolerate heated. we can hearfrom the mayor and country must not tolerate heated. we can hear from the mayor and self now on what happened. —— we can never tolerate hatred. translation: then he turned to me, and as has already been reported coming at me if i was the mayor, then without saying anything else he took out a knife. he said, "you'd let me die first and you bring 200 refugees he said, "you've let me die of thirst and you bring 200 refugees to altena," then he was standing behind me with a knife, and the knife was at my throat. the map is working now. you can see this as a small town in the middle of the german countryside. here is our german correspondentjenny hill with more on the attack. today andreas hollstein warned against what he described as growing but had a history of mental! it‘s rare for politicians to be attacked like this, although not unheard of. around two years ago the mayor of cologne was herself attacked i hikijkixmg—éxsfikmge(i ; i; 2

who‘s to blame. the government trying to move forward reform of the military that was in the plans before but now seems urgent because the military in this country does not have a huge budget. after the military regime in the 70s and 80s, so this is likely to trigger many reforms for the army forces in argentina. we will go back to our top story. this latest missile test from north korea. we have some more news on this. this has come in from reuters. it is formatted a little strangely but i will read it all the same. the us injapan have requested that the un security council meet on wednesday, tomorrow, to discuss north korea‘s latest missile launch. diplomats said on tuesday. remember, donald trump has already said he will handle this, although he has not detail precisely how he will handle it. we have heard from the us defence secretary james mattis who

has been talking in the last few minutes... over two and a half hours ago north korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile. it went higher, frankly, than any previous shots they had taken. it is a research and development effort on their part. they are building ballistic missiles that can threaten everywhere in the world, basically. and in response, the south koreans have fired pinpoint missiles out into the water to make certain north korea understands that they could be taken under fire by korea understands that they could be taken underfire by our ally, but the bottom line is it is a continued effort to build a ballistic missile threat that endangers world peace, regional peace and certainly the united states. well, we will go back to that story and i also want to go back to the pope‘s visit to myanmar. we were talking about this earlier today. today he delivered a very carefully worded speech, asking for all ethnic groups in myanmar to be respected, and as i already mentioned he avoided any direct mentioned he avoided any direct mention of the plight of the

rohingya muslim population, and remember over 600,000 rohingya muslims have fled myanmar into bangladesh because of military operations against them and mass killings. the bbc‘s reeta chakrabarti killings. the bbc‘s reeta chakra barti has killings. the bbc‘s reeta chakrabarti has been at one of the biggest refugee camps in bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of people are living, half of them children. this is her latest report. waiting at the border in bangladesh. 600 refugees who have crossed from myanmar. they are held here for two days before being allowed in. they are exhausted and anxious. among them, we found 18—year—olds rabia >> anchor—2—mac: nieces. a nine—year—old and a four—year—old. —— and hertwo nine—year—old and a four—year—old. —— and her two nieces. they said the military attacked their village in myanmar. the little girl‘s mother was killed and they don‘t know what

has happened to their father. they have been walking for 25 days. translation: people gave us food. i just brought the two children. i didn‘t bring anything to cook with. she said she is determined to keep the children with her, although it may be difficult. a week later we find them in the un transit camp we re find them in the un transit camp were vulnerable people are looked after. umi has less to get their food rations. how are they getting on? this is where you live. mm. you don‘t have much, do you? psychologists see the little one is severely traumatised by her experiences. she never speaks to any adult. —— say that the little one. almost everyone you meet in this camp say they have seen some terrible things. this group has been setup to help people deal their

experiences. it is run by a psychologist. all the women here have lost their husbands in the violence in myanmar, and they are grateful for in the violence in myanmar, and they are gratefulfor are in the violence in myanmar, and they are grateful for are counselling. this woman said she asked questions about their lives, they really talk to each other about all the good and the bad —— all the bad, and the good, that has happened to them. her friend echoes her, saying the sessions make her feel friend echoes her, saying the sessions make herfeel happy, and they are thankful. people come from all over the camp for help. the psychologist works with them to rebuild their lives. it really works magic, because in my session normally i say a few words, which is like, now you‘re safe and secure, and we will not tell on you. we are with you, so i acknowledge your life, because you have to go through

many stories and experiences, but finally you are here and you‘re safe. we knew that the girls we met earlier were safe, but it had been four bays and they had moved on. —— four bays and they had moved on. —— four days. we found them with a group of people from their village waiting to be registered in a more permanent camp. translation: waiting to be registered in a more permanent camp. translationzlj waiting to be registered in a more permanent camp. translation: i hope for a good life. i will never let the children go. i will never leave their side. aid workers told us the girls will get child protection because they have no parents. and it will be placed with the others from their community. they are being looked after, but they will take a long time to recover from the trauma they‘ve experienced. reeta chakrabarti, they‘ve experienced. reeta chakra barti, bbc news, they‘ve experienced. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, bangladesh. there is much more background on

what is happening with the rohingya muslims are available online at bbc.com/news. let‘s turn to the situation in bali where tourists remain stranded and airport remains shut for a second days, all to do with mount agung, the volcano in the east of the island. this is hywel griffiths from bali with the latest. with ash billowing overhead and tremors growing underground, mount agung‘s eruption shows no signs of slowing. thick muddy flows are already flowing from the surface. they‘re dangerous, but not as devastating as the red—hot lava which could follow. in the mountain‘s shadow they‘ve been preparing for months. everyone knows the drill. these children have been reassured they will be safe, as long as the evacuation plan is followed. for the thousands forced

from their homes two months ago when the tremors started, the wait has been unbearable, and there‘s no way of knowing when it will end. translation: i have two young children. what will we do? the impact of the eruption is already spreading. with more than 800 flights cancelled, the only way in and out is by boat. for kerry, it feels like a good time to leave. it‘s quite scary. it seems pretty close at the minute, yeah, so not sure whether it is due to erupt or in the middle of erupting. but some here are determined

to stick to everyday life, whatever the risks. this flower seller lives within the exclusion zone but is refusing to leave. she will run if the lava comes, she laughs. the blackout is adding to the sense of destruction and unease, as everyone here waits to see how the eruption will end. hywel griffiths, bali. we end with a report on how mexican drug cartels are targeting avocado producers. the reason they are doing thatis producers. the reason they are doing that is simple. it is boomtime for avocado producers, with europe and the us consuming more and more, pushing up prices. in april 20 16th just under $1 for an avocado, april 20 $127. it is being driven by the perception that avocados are good for us and of course they are very tasty, as well. mexico is in a very strong position. it supplies 45% of the world‘s avocados and provides 82% that are exploded into the us and the cartels want some of that

business. this is the so—called avocado capital of mexico and our correspondent has been there. guns and avocados are strange but necessary bedfellows here. at its peak, people fell victim to extortion, kidnappings and murders. with no help, the people of the town provided a police force. there are 70-80 provided a police force. there are 70—80 people in this avocado police and they are all part of the community and in that sense they are also all invested in the avocado industry. she works monday to friday asa industry. she works monday to friday as a police officer and the rest of the time she is on herfarm. she said it is hard work with two jobs but worth it and life here is much

safer now. people who fled the gangs are now coming back. life and business has returned to normal. translation: it wasn't that production was affected but more that some fell into the hands of criminals. there was a lot of fear. there were not a lot of people who stayed around. they were scared. but people are cautious. no more than this avocado farmer. the industry has made him rich, and a target. he knows that, which is why he carries a gun. he tells me his son was kidnapped. he had to pay a ransom of $500,000. he also implies armed bodyguards around the clock, watching over him and his workers on the form. this and paying for avocado police enable him to sleep well at night. translation: it's

much better now because we are left alone, we don‘t have problems. that‘s all we want. if it costs us, so be it. all that happen before it was hurting us. this is the deadliest for mexico in two decades. bbc news. just before i say goodbye, let‘s return to the missile test by north korea. i was reading you this from reuters a few minutes ago, that japan and the us have requested a un security council meeting on wednesday. i have more copy, also from reuters, quoting the italian mission to the un, that this meeting will now take place at tpm, that is the time in new york, eastern time, and of course we will keep a very close eye on that and bring details of what is said on tomorrow‘s edition of outside source. goodbye.

—— at three o‘clock eastern time. hello. december is just around the corner and at the very start of the month we may see some milder air, but i think that is not going to last. generally a cold theme with some minor variations. high pressure to the west, lower pressure to the east will stop everything coming down from the north. isobars and winds coming in from the north, dragging down cold era, and it is getting colder over the next couple of days. the wind direction has changed slightly some showers down the eastern side of england as well asa the eastern side of england as well as a few winter showers in scotland, but many of these western areas where we have the showers on tuesday and wednesday will be drier. cold again with temperatures three in the central belt, seven if you are lucky across the south of england and wales. into thursday morning, as the areas getting colder the frost will be much more widespread. but again many places will be dry and sunny after that frosty start. more

showers coming back into northern ireland, the west and wales, the far south—west of england. again, some showers near coastal areas of eastern england and eastern scotland. those showers could be wintry particularly over the hills, but it will be cold and probably thursday being the coldest day of the next few, with temperatures typically 3—5 degrees maximum in the afternoon. towards the end of the week, moving into december, this high pressure will tend to drift slowly and change position, allowing these weather systems to come around on top. this is where we get the milder air, but it gets in very slowly. a lot of cloud for scotland and northern ireland, a little rain and northern ireland, a little rain and drizzle, brighter for and northern ireland, a little rain and drizzle, brighterfor england and drizzle, brighterfor england and wales, still cold wind and some showers and that south—eastern corner where we are clinging on to this colder era for another day, but the milder air is coming in because we lose the northerly and get more ofa we lose the northerly and get more of a westerly breeze from the atlantic. but it does take a while for the temperatures to recover as

that milder air comes in, but this is what we are looking at on saturday. seven, eight, perhaps even 9 degrees. a lot of cloud, losing the sunshine but losing those wintry showers. weak fronts rotating around the top and still behind the uk. and that front, a lot of cloud across scotla nd that front, a lot of cloud across scotland and northern ireland, bit of sunshine perhaps, but more cloud across england and wales. on that week cold weather front there will bea week cold weather front there will be a little rain but temperatures back to nine or 10 degrees, so that milder than it would normally be at this time of year. into next week, the jet stream will change again and we get these major undulations in the jet stream, moving we get these major undulations in thejet stream, moving northwards. southwards, we get on the wrong side if you like of the jet streams back into the colder air. so that means moving into next week we return to those colder north and north westerly winds, bringing in some sunshine. showers turning more

wintry as the air gets colder and we get more frost around as well as skies tend to clear. that is the general thing heading into next week, and that is because high pressure is out towards the west, and we are drawing down these winds again from the north. colder winds backing across the uk. however, there is a small chance later next week that the position of the high to change and we may get some mild atla ntic to change and we may get some mild atlantic here once again. it‘s less likely to happen and if it does, just briefly, just like this weekend. tonight at 10.00pm — the pope appeals for tolerance in myanmar but refuses to mention the persecuted rohignyas by name. the pope held talks with myanmar‘s leader, aung san suu kyi,

whose government has been accused of ethnic cleansing in relation to the rohingya minority. hundreds of thousands of rohingya have fled the violence in myanmar to refugee camps in neighbouring bangladesh. i‘m at the largest refugee camp in southern bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of people who fled myanmar continue to endure the most squalid and desperate conditions. we‘ll have more from reeta in one of the biggest camps in bangladesh. also tonight: the wedding of prince harry and meghan markle is to take place at st george‘s chapel, windsor, next may. north korea has test—fired another ballistic missile — its first in two months.
