i was wondering, why would state media in north korea be so keen to tell us that kimjong north koreakorea be so keen to tell us that kimjong il and ordered and oversaw these tests? —— kim jong un. they are trying to show that what happens if the negotiations in hanoi don't pick up and they have set a deadline very clearly until the end of this year, for the united states too, as they say, recalculate its position. in the last hour, this test got really interesting because we we re test got really interesting because we were under the impression yesterday and then through most of the day today that it was just a rocket system, project goals, as north korea and south korea refer to and president trump this morning tweeted. it turned out that they debuted a new short range ballistic missile and that poses a bit of a problem for, i think, the crisis going forward. this is how the previous self—imposed missile testing started falling apart. they started with a short range missile which isn't covered by the moratorium and then months later ended up testing a longer range missile and so thi

had been launched from north korea stop he also said he was confident that the country's leader, kimjong—uns leader, kim jong—un, would keep confident that the country's leader, kimjong—un, would keep promises that he had made. this is his latest tweet. he was also tweeting about us matters, as well, while still being injapan. so we will deal with that and bring you more coverage of the golf game we promised a little bit later on bbc news. police in india have filed a culpable homicide case against three people over a fire in the city of surat that killed at least 23 people. the fire broke out in a building where students were attending private tuition classes. gemma coombe reports. chapter by ferocious flames, so desperate to reach safety, they scrambled out windows, some so terrified they jumped —— scrambled out windows, some so terrified theyjumped —— trapped by ferocious flames. dozens of students we re ferocious flames. dozens of students were inside this building in the boot at city of surat when it erupted into flames on friday. they we re erupted into flames on friday. they were att

a meeting between kimjong—un and donald trump ended without agreement in february.the space of the past week. state media confirmed the latest had been carried out by kimjon—un, describing it as a "strike drill" on "the western front". but the pentagon disputed this — saying that the launches were of multiple ballistic missiles that flew into the ocean. earlier, i spoke to soo kim, who is a former cia analyst on north korea, and asked her on what basis can the us seize another nation's ship, when it's not even in us waters? well, this all goes back to the negotiations between washington and pyongyang over its nuclear programme. during the hanoi summit kim jong—un expected to get what he wanted, that was to lift us sanctions in response to piecemeal tentative denuclearisation on north korea's part. he clearly did not get what he wanted. so we have seen north korea ratchet up tensions through rhetoric and now two missile tests. the united states, for its part, has been pretty discontented over how the talks have been going. we have seen a clear violation on north kore

state media in north korea say the country's leader, kimjong—un, ordered and oversaw the testing of rocketided weapons, fired on saturday. the missiles were described as short—range and believed to have landed into the sea. according to the north korea news agency, the test was "conducted in various modes of firing at different targets", which analysts believe means the weapon could be launched from land, sea or air. earlier, i spoke with vipin narang, associate professor of political science at the massachusetts institute of technology about the missile test and its significance. i think they are trying to signal increasingly and remind both at home and abroad what happens if the negotiations that fell apart in hanoi don't pick up pace in the next couple of months and they've set a deadline very clearly until the end of this year, for the united states to, as they say, recalculate its position. and in the last hour, this test got much more interesting because we were under the impression yesterday and then through most of the day today that it was just a rocket system, projectiles, as nor

i would disagree, i don't necessarily think all of kimjong disagree, i don't necessarily think all of actions are necessarily pointed directly at the united states. this is the tendency everybody seems to make a mistake that all of north korea pours my actions are always directed towards the usa. i would say the signals are a lwa ys the usa. i would say the signals are always multilayered. king john and is very savvy leader and here —— kim jong—un is a very savvy leader and i think the signals are towards south korea and trying to take advantage of their weaknesses. 0n the other hand, this is not the limit of president trump's personal diplomacy and what he has shown is to the end he is, predictable in this regard. this is actually not the end and president trump will absolutely, limitless in his personal diplomacy. i think that is one of the wea knesses i think that is one of the weaknesses here, this white house is engaged in this one—on—one transactional approach to foreign policy but that's the problem. these foreign policy problems are not one—on—one problems. they are all connec

korea had stopped communicating after the inconclusive second summit between president trump and kimjong—unt has passed controversial laws designed to crack down on fake news. under the new rules, the government can order platforms to publish corrections or, in extreme cases, remove content it deems to be false. penalties also include jail time and large fines. critics say the legislation will stifle political discourse. but the government says it's only targeting falsehoods — not opinion and criticism. trade talks between chinese and american negotiators are due to restart on thursday. china has gone on the offensive after a week of threats from the us. from friday, washington will slap new import charges on another $200 billion of chinese exports into the us, pushing up costs for american customers. beijing has promised to respond in kind. earlier i spoke to zhaoyin feng, our chinese service colleague based in washington about how bad this could get. the american negotiators are obviously very angry because this is exactly what the us has been complaining about for years. the chinese will

in the past does my compared to the past, kim jong—un is in the past does my compared to the past, kimjong—un his dignity — that he has a face—saving device — and the launching of these short—range missiles is designed to show that american troops across the border in south korea can be wiped out at any time. professor, what will countries like china and russia and south korea make of this? parts of this is that they used — of course they don't want conflict there, but china wa nts don't want conflict there, but china wants north korea to remain as a socialist state and south korea would like to have improved relations with the north. so they would be against any kind of military confrontation, but from north korea's point of view, they will do anything to make the system viable and survive the system. yes, we have to realise north korea is not an we have to realise north korea is notan ordinary we have to realise north korea is not an ordinary state, a very unique state. that was professor hand park speaking to me earlier. —— han. thailand's king maha vajiralongkorn has been crowned in an el

prime minister abe's wish to meet with kim jong—un. supports prime minister abe's wish to meet with kimjong—unants to meet with the japanese prime minister is another matter, especially given his previous comments. he has been very vocal especially about japan's wartime passed. but there have been some awkward moments over north korean issues during president trump's visit. when president trump again said he is not too bothered by the fact that north korea fired that missile which was brought down by the japanese —— denounced by the japanese government. president trump met for a second time with family members of japanese nationals abducted by north korea back in the 19705 abducted by north korea back in the 1970s and 1980s, no other us president has met them two times, reassuring them that he fully supports their desire that they want to be reunited with their family members. so there is some hope that may be president trump could push that issue further when and if he meets with kim jong—un. that issue further when and if he meets with kim jong-un. and both leaders also talked about strained

major achievements over the course of 2018 and now, of course, since the hanoi summit between him and kimjong—unhave not been going so well and i think we're starting to see the process may be entirely collapsing. we will see how the us chooses to react to this development. what do you think north korea is thinking by launching these missiles? what are they trying to achieve? i do not have to speculate about that because kim jong—un actually told us exactly when he was thinking as few weeks ago whe nhe delivered his first major address since the hanoi summit. he explicitly warned that there would be corresponding acts from north korea for the us pushing ahead with military exercises in south korea. he also generally conveyed his dissatisfied with the state of diplomacy. so something like this was actually pretty clearly telegraphed by north korea and now we are just simply seeing it happen. so when this news emerged today i was not very surprised. cyclone foni is bearing down on one of india's biggest cities, kolkata, after hitting the state of 0disha on friday. the storm, one of the worst in th

showing his displeasure at the break—up of talks during the hanoi summit between donald trump and kimjong—ung table and come back with a better deal. certainly the rhetoric we have heard from state media coming from pyongyang over the last month has shown that they appear to be warning washington that their patience will only last so long. in fact, pyongyang has said they only give washington until the end of the year to come up with a better deal or they say they will go a new way, take a new path. so, when it comes to where they are, certainly the us envoy to north korea has arrived in seoul, he is trying to get talks back on track, but it seems that both north korea and washington's position are increasingly entrenched. washington will not give up sanctions on north korea unless north korea shows serious signs to disarm and dismantle its nuclear weapons programme. north korea says that is unfair and they would like to see sanctions being eased, and then and only then will they start to dismantle some of their nuclear weapons programme. if you are a regular viewer camino we pulled together

the president says he doesn't think that kimjong—un is in breach of the agreement that they had in singapore these missiles that were far the other week landed in the waters ofjapan. surely he should be concerned about that? this is the great conundrum, whether it is this case or whether it was president putin, he did not use the word, ballistic missiles. that would have put us on a different path. this is where the behind—the—scenes here, a president who is focused on the public persona versus the private discussions. there is clearly concerned in the us establishment here in japan there is clearly concerned in the us establishment here injapan is killing concerned and this was the crux of their main arguments that had over the last couple of days. it has overshadowed everything, it has become the focus. it is unusual for an american president abroad to be that critical ofa president abroad to be that critical of a former vice president of the country, as he was. next week it is the uk, plenty of trappings hereto. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news c

we look at what he has done in the korean peninsula, people concerned about how he is dealt with kimjongth kim jong in but actually, concerned about how he is dealt with kimjong in but actually, his concerned about how he is dealt with kim jong in but actually, his style of leadership is quite authoritarian, and in one way, it does appeal to some people injapan who see him as being a very direct kind of leader. compared maybe with shinzo abe who is not enjoying such popularity here. there are also reports shinzo abe might be calling for general elections sooner rather than later. yes, therefore having president trump here, the world's most powerful man, boosting his own popularity and standing to show that no, actually japan still does popularity and standing to show that no, actuallyjapan still does have popularity and standing to show that no, actually japan still does have a seat at the table and although china is of course something that both sides will need to discuss, it shows that shinzo abe is actually actively dealing with these global events and not simply a spectator. presiden
