james landale, bbc news, new york. let's speak to our correspondent danny savage in seoul. a rundown of what these new sanctions mean. well, they are another step forward, another step to try and almost declare financial war on north korea as opposed to a military one. what you have now is china and america it seems co—ordinating because there's been this criticism in the past that perhaps china isn't doing enough, that's what america has been hinting at. now we have the chinese banking system closing down on north korea. what effect will that have? we simply don't know until time goes on really. what we can say is all the sanctions over the years of us far haven't stopped north korea developing its nuclear weapons programme and the whole reason for these sanctions is to stop that or at least bring it to a halt so negotiations can begin, and that hasn't happened. wilber latest sanctions do so? that's unclear, north korea may be able to work out banking with other nations or through other ways —— will the. there's talk about sanctions being delivered over what's allowed in b

james landale was listening to that news conference. hardening of the british position. until now, the british government has said the violence must stop, but they have also said that they continued to praise aung san suu kyi because of her past record in fighting for democracy there, and they had done their best, in their view, not to undermine her by putting too much pressure on her to indemnify the islands. i think the point has been reached now —— to condemn the violence. they are now saying the situation is so bad that pressure needs to go on her now. there was some criticism boris johnson last week, when he had been fairly soft in his criticism of also suchith. his language today was much harder, and i think the view now is that what is taking place is really bad, and she has to speak out now. the problem is this: the fear amongst some officials is that the moment that also suchith speaks out —— aung san suu kyi speaks out, she will lose support and there is a risk of a return to military rule. that is a disputed view, but that is

our diplomatic correspondent james landale is here. we heard some of the options there. you think? the most likely option is some sort of toughening of sanctions. some corporation by countries like south korea and japan. —— some corroboration. they seem to be there. but the problem is that missile defence systems can fail. and sanctions, the world does not speak in one voice on that. there are differences of opinion. if the us really wanted its way it would try to restrict the amount of oil that is pouring into north korea from china. naturally, the chinese are very reluctant to go down this route, because they believe that would destabilise north korea. potentially bringing an end to the regime. it could involve refugees poring over the chinese borders. they don't want to stabilise this. we have another un meeting today. yet people are talking about accelerating the pace of sanctions. the international community has imposed sanctions against north korea since 2006 when it first did a nuclear test. it has not changed its behaviour as a result. thanks very much. kensingto

mrjohnson has been speaking to our diplomatic correspondent james landale — here's what he's been sayingne driver in this car, to use there is one driver in this car, to use amber rudd's metaphor, which is often used and quite rightly, it is theresa may. what i am trying to do, if you look at the bees, what i'm trying to do is sketch out what i think the exciting destination ahead. —— look at the. think the exciting destination ahead. -- look at the. what is the process of transition? but as for the government to decide. as the prime ministers rally said, we don't wa nt prime ministers rally said, we don't want to be paying into the eu after we leave, we don't want to be paying extortionate sums for access to the single market. they would not pay for access to our market. but what we will do, and everybody can see the logic of this, insofar as we are on the hook. in the short—term that we have agreed to, that is fair enough. i have never objected to that. on your point about the transition period and the length of the transition period, i think it is important that it shouldn't be too lo

to tell us what this all means is our diplomatic correspondent, james landale — he's in our westminsterr. she's going to florence next week to set out her thoughts on brexit, but here is the us, foursquare behind her. this is the united states position, to say that they support britain through this period. they have described brexit is challenging, which is a euphemism, to say the least. the crucial point is this: when it comes to negotiating with the us in any kind of trade deal that an independent united kingdom might do with the us, that is where diplomats will see the colour of their money. when you talk to the americans, i heard the us ambassador to london earlier this week saying that the uk will be front of the line, to use the american phrase come up front in line for what? how good would any trade deal with the us after brexit really be? we won't know that for some time. james, i wanted to pick up some time. james, i wanted to pick up on that sound bite from boris johnson, where he was talking about the rohingya refugees — is this a precursor of what we are likely to hear more

let's speak to our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. former advisor to the chief ministry in an gilla saying it's been too slow. they knew the hurricane was on the way. compared to the french the british effort is pretty tarredy. i believe there's a huge difference in resource here. the british government has hardly any military personnel permanently based in the caribbean. the french have thousands. the dutch have hundreds of troops there. this is partly a matter of politics and history. the french territories and dutch territories are more directly governed from the netherlands and france. whereas our overseas territories are much more self—governing. they have much more autonomy. therefore, the british government — there's less of an automatic sense that you know you need to defend bordeaux as you do martinique. if the british want resources there, they have to send them across the atlantic. so the british government response is we send a ship there every year throughout the hurricane season and it's a ship that deliberately is desig
