this is bbc news. i'm sally bundock with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. north korea says it's successfully tested a new long—range missile, firing two rockets more than 1500 kilometres. we'll get the latest from our correspondent in the region. southern spain's deadly wildfires intensify: close to 3,000 people have been forced from their homes as the army's called in to help. the afghans waiting and hoping: we have a special report from the border with pakistan as the refugee crisis worsens. russia's daniil medvedev wins the us open as the djokovic dream of taking all four grand slam titles in the same year is shattered.

a warm welcome to the programme. we begin with north korea. it claims to have carried out successful long—range cruise missile tests over the weekend, according to state media. the report said the missiles flew 1500 kilometres before hitting their targets and falling into territorial waters. pyongyang has continued to develop its arsenal despite being subject to strict international sanctions. we can go to seoul now to speak to our correspondent, laura bicker. what more can you tell us? i think one of the biggest questions i get asked is how big a deal is this? firstly, this is the first time that

north korea has launched a long—range cruise missile which it says is capable of a strategic weapon, they describe it, which means in north korean terms that it is capable, they claim, of holding a nuclear warhead. now, we don't know if north korea has the capacity to scale down, to shrink down, nuclear warhead and put it on such a cruise missile that they are claiming that it is nuclear capable. so that's one thing. however, it is not a ballistic missile and ballistic missiles are usually the subject of un security council sanctions. they can fly faster, have heavier nuclear payloads and can fly for longer distances. but cruise missiles can also go largely undetected by missile defence systems. this one, they claim, flu 1500 kilometres. so far we have not had any kind of verification from either south korean officials or from the us. we know that they are

looking into it to see exactly what happened over the weekend. so far, it is only claimed from north korea and basically, we are looking at pictures and nuclear experts are analysing them to give us an idea of what this missile may be capable of doing. in this missile may be capable of doinu. , ., , ., doing. in terms of why north korea is choosing _ doing. in terms of why north korea is choosing to - doing. in terms of why north korea is choosing to do - doing. in terms of why north korea is choosing to do this. korea is choosing to do this now, but make?— korea is choosing to do this now, but make? there are many reasons. first _ now, but make? there are many reasons. first of _ now, but make? there are many reasons. first of all _ now, but make? there are many reasons. first of all there - reasons. first of all there were a number of warnings, south korea and the united states held joint military exercises, every year they do, and north korea describes it as preparation for war. of course then you have the fact that they have a missile to test. but when it comes to the united states, this is what many people might describe as a lower—level publication but what it does prove is that pyongyang is continually capable of developing dangerous and new weapons, despite being the subject of strict international sanctions, despite being in the middle of

a deep economic crisis and having those large—scale food shortages. so when it comes to how pyongyang is doing this, many questionable quest —— many people question how on earth have they been able to develop is in the last two years as i have claimed that when it comes to the biden administration, perhaps it will come as increased urgency when it comes to talks. we know that the us clear envoy is currently in tokyo for talks with south and japanese counterparts so it may put a little extra degree of urgency into those talks —— south korean and japanese. thank you, laura. more analysis of little later on in the programme is well on that story. the united nations world food programme says a plane carrying aid has landed in kabul for the first time since the taliban captured the afghan capital nearly a month ago. at the same time, tens of thousands of refugees are believed to have crossed the border into pakistan in the weeks since the fall of kabul. there are already 1.5 million registered afghan refugees

in pakistan and an estimated one million undocumented. our world affairs editor john simpson has travelled through the khyber pass to the border between pakistan and afghanistan at torkham. every inch of ground here has been fought over for 3,000 years. the insignia of former british and indian regiments are carefully preserved along the way, and the khyber�*s a major trade route. trucks toil up the gradients, carrying afghan fruit and vegetables into pakistan. the occasional passenger, too. smugglers trudge along the footpaths as they always have. at the head of the khyber, torkham, the border crossing into afghanistan. now, above it is a white flag carrying the shahada,

the muslim proclamation of faith. up there is a makeshift taliban flag — not, you notice, the afghan national flag, even though this is the afghan border. just over there, two soldiers facing off. the nearer one is pakistani. the further one is taliban, with a white face mask. behind them is a growing crowd of people desperate to get into pakistan. many of them are hoping to get through on medical grounds, and if they've got the right documents, both the taliban and the pakistanis will let them and their families through. they shuffle along in a continuous line — and you can see how happy they are when they finally made it through. this taliban guard seems relaxed, but makes no apologies for what's happened. "the set—up in afghanistan has changed," he tells me. "it was democratic, now the flag of the islamic emirate flies over it."

at a border crossing further south, there's been a continuous flood of refugees. most will end up staying here in pakistan, though the younger ones dream of getting out. anwar, for instance — from an afghan family which has lost almost everything — is desperate to get to the west. if anyone, like, give me a home, give me a place to stay, give me a hope, like, welcome me with open arms, like, pave the way for me to study, to do what i want, i will 100% serve them, there's no doubt about it. this refugee camp outside peshawar opened up a0 long years ago. muhammad wazir was ten when he arrived. he used to long to return. now he knows it'll never happen. "what could i do there?", he says. "if the fighting goes on, there'll be no work. "what's the point?"

now, a new generation of refugees is growing up here. how long before they despair of going home? john simpson, bbc news, peshawar. fierce wildfires continue to burn out of control in southern spain. thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes as the authorities try to fight the flames. it's believed around 6000 hectares of land have been affected in a region popular with holiday—makers. tim allman reports. with little warning, with little time to prepare, people flee the towns and villages of andalusia. this gymnasium now a makeshift shelter. local residents told to move as the flames got ever closer. translation: it was very quick. they rushed us out. i came with my clothes on and left everything there, even the animals.

tim allman, bbc news. the main candidates to succeed the german chancellor angela merkel have held the second of three televised debates ahead of this month's election. a snap poll suggested the current frontrunner — the finance minister, 0laf scholz of the social democrats — came out top in the latest encounter. sara monetta reports. 16 years at the helm of germany's grand coalition, now the centre—right is wavering. despite chancellor merkel�*s endorsement, the candidate ominously —— armin laschet is struggling in the polls. 0n sunday's debate, he attacked the unexpected frontrunner, the social democrat final minister 0laf scholz, over his handling of a recent money—laundering scandal.

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: north korean media claims the country's tested long—range cruise missiles, hitting their target more than 1500 kilometres away. let's have more on our main story. we can now speak to professor robert kelly, a north korea analyst from pusan national university. good to talk to you. give us your take on these latest test on the part of north korea, what is going on in the background? i what is going on in the background?— what is going on in the background? what is going on in the back round? ~ ., , background? i think what is robabl background? i think what is probably happening - background? i think what is probably happening is - background? i think what is probably happening is the l background? i think what is - probably happening is the north koreans now have enough nuclear weapons to put on large weapons, large missiles that could strike the us, but they are now beginning to experiment with shorter rain. koreans have been building this for a while, they feel like they will have

enough intercontinental weapons to hit united states so they can actually start developing more local stuff, this is probably why the north koreans said it was a strategic thing, and that means they are strategically using it in the region or they would if there was a crisis what do you think is going through the mind of the biden administration? i don't think the north koreans are actually interested in starting a war. i don't think north korea wants to conquer south korea or anything like that, i think north korea really wants to leech off the south korean economy indefinitely. i don't think the weapons are intended for offence. i think they are intended deterrence. local deterrence will be improved if north korea had nuclear weapons that so that is what they are moving to, moving away from surveillance from the us, to smaller weapons to use locally should the conditions come up. i think that is why the biden administration haven't said much, doesn't change the balance that much, it does brave the threat against us

forces in —— raised the threat. i'm not sure it actually dramatically ramps things up way test before 2017 did. the biden administration is so busy with covid that i don't think thatis with covid that i don't think that is why they have said very much. ., ., ., , ., ., much. north korean state media has told the _ much. north korean state media has told the world _ much. north korean state media has told the world that _ much. north korean state media has told the world that is - much. north korean state media has told the world that is more l has told the world that is more attention, aren't they?- attention, aren't they? yeah, this is one — attention, aren't they? yeah, this is one of _ attention, aren't they? yeah, this is one of the _ attention, aren't they? yeah, this is one of the other- this is one of the other arguments about why the north koreans do these things with such flair and theatricality of the two careers have been in this existential conflict, south korea has one that will stop —— two koreas. we wouldn't talk about north korea that much if it didn't do these kind of things, north korea is pretty backward, most of the reason we talk about it otherwise is things like famine. 0ne otherwise is things like famine. one of the ways the north koreans pretend they are the equal of south korea and a functional and normal state is by rattling the sabre, and here we are. �* , .,

we are. but in terms of what north korea _ we are. but in terms of what north korea is _ we are. but in terms of what north korea is currently - north korea is currently grappling with with covid, having closed borders, in particular to china which is where it gets a lot of its much—needed medical supplies, other good and food et cetera, it must be in a very difficult place right now.— it must be in a very difficult place right now. yeah, again the north — place right now. yeah, again the north koreans— place right now. yeah, again the north koreans don't - place right now. yeah, again the north koreans don't tell| place right now. yeah, again i the north koreans don't tell us much so it is hard to know, they tell us they have zero covid cases which i don't think anybody believe that all. and something like 90% of north korean trade go through china, though it has been very difficult, which is where all these rumours are coming about on massive famine and food insecurity. north korea could always change this by diverting resources away from the military to put that into agriculture, and they don't. it is kind of a symbol of north korean ruthlessness towards their own population that even as they enter mood insecurity and grapple with covid they are still piling resources into building nuclear weapons. they could make other choices and they don't.

and south—east england as well. much of wales, the western side of england, northern ireland, southern and western scotland, cloudy, and there will be some patch outbreaks of rain around. further east, much of the day will be dry but there will still be quite a bit of cloud to be had. the highest temperatures with those sunny spells towards east anglia and south—east england, just getting up to around 20 degrees but for many it is mid to high teens. that's how things are shaping up as we have gone through monday night and you can see some outbreaks of rain just becoming a little more widespread and some heavier bursts just pushing up across southern parts of england going into tuesday morning and temperatures holding up in the mid to low teens. still some clear spells in northern scotland. so, some heavier bursts of rain around, during tuesday, affecting parts of england and wales, so wales turning dry as the day goes on but still potentialfor some rain affecting central and eastern parts of england even into the evening.

a few showers around in scotland and northern ireland. once that weather system clears away, wednesday morning, there could be mist and fog patches around and wales and england. sunny spells going through, weaker weather system will deliver a bit of cloud and patchy rain into parts of scotland and northern ireland as the day goes on. temperatures edging upwards a little bit, 21 celsius in cardiff, for example. there's a ridge of high pressure, largely fine on thursday. low pressure on friday. thursday is going to be the driest, the brightest day of the week. that's more widely across the uk. by friday, the winds are picking up and there is some wet weather spreading from west to east across us. that's your weather for the week ahead.
