intolerably, the south korean president called it a territorial invasion although of course the missile did land international waters not south korean waters, so this is a strong rhetoric from a president who has promised to take a hard—line honour north korea. the north koreans have seenin korea. the north koreans have seen in recent days that south korea would pay the most horrible price and history of these military exercises continue. that is being seen as a veiled threat that would use nuclear weapons against south korea and we know north korea has been preparing and is almost ready to test another nuclear weapon, the first time it has done this for five years, no preparations for the testis years, no preparations for the test is complete we just think north korea is waiting for the right moment to do this. let's get some of the day's other news. a damning report has found that hundreds of police officers who were cleared to serve in forces in england and wales should have failed

vetting procedures. the review found officers with criminal records, significant debts, or whose families had links to organised crime. police chiefs have promised to put the problems right. denmark's left—wing bloc is set to hold onto its slim parliamentary majority, following tuesday's general election. with all votes now counted, the coalition led by centre—left prime minister mette frederiksen has 87 seats an overnight curfew has been declared in two provinces of ecuador following a series of bomb attacks that have killed five police officers. president guillermo lasso said the attacks had been carried out by increasingly powerful drug gangs. they'd threatened to retaliate after the government introduced tougher measures to curb their power inside prisons. just days after taking control

of twitter, elon musk has revealed plans to help him recoup some of the more than a0 billion dollars he paid for the social media network. he says he will start charging users who want a blue tick beside their name to indicate their account is verified. those in the united states would be charged $8 a month — charges elsewhere will vary. but the plans haven't gone down well, as our north america correspondent peter bowes explains. it is a huge debate and that debate is taking place right now on twitter. what exactly this means and what the implications are for those people who want to continue to have a blue tick next to their name and it is probably worth describing in a little more detail for those many people not on twitter what exactly that looks like. essentially it is a tick, a white tick on a blue background which is confusing for some, that shows you are verified, that you are who you say you are. whether you are a journalist, there's a tick next to my name, there is
5:12 am
a tick next to yours. whether it is a politician, whether it's the public department of the police or some other authority where they give out information important for people to see and rely on. in los angeles, for example, the lapd have a tick next to their name and the information they tweet is reliable. that is why it is very significant to many people. the big complaint and it is interesting that elon musk now describes himself as the complaint hotlines operator, for twitter, lots of people are complaining about this thinking they do not have to spend $8 a month just to get that tick when they've so far managed to get it for nothing. to explain why elon musk wants to do this, he says there are a couple of reason, one probably, the biggest reason, twitter has to make money and it hasn't made money for years, and it is also a move to try to get rid of scam and spam on twitter feeds, which again is a huge
5:13 am
problem for a lot of people, not being able to rely on what they see and he wants to in some ways, clean house but it seems starting again with these blue ticks. he has also tweeted to add more confusion, a secondary tick underneath some people's names and that will be specifically for those high—profile individuals like politicians, but it's not entirely clear how these two ticks will work side—by—side. tell us what you think about that story. contact me on twitter. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the music world's tributes to hip—hop star, takeoff, shot dead at a bowling alley in texas. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated.
