welcome to miniature worlds. where are we know? we are in england. stopped in the station. yeah. it's busy in england today on the railways. it is but at the end of the day you have to remember network rail don't come here. no strikes. no engineering works. what's this? that is a class 153, i think. costing £500,000 there are 14 layouts, 100 trains and 10,000 model people. it is all computer controlled and operated by two engineers. it is a full—time job, you are always cleaning something or fixing something. if something derails or goes wrong i am they are fixing it. if something gets dirty i am cleaning it straightaway. the train sets operate efficiently all day. butjust like the real railway, things do occasionally go wrong. that kind of pales into insignificance. .. 0h! there has been a nasty accident. but everybody seems to be fine. happily, you can have a go with some of the sets, drivers range in age from three, this is jasper, to robert who is, a bit older, shall we say. did you ever have a train set? yes, i sold it to buy a car. it must have

world. melinda: speaking of vision, did that miniature summit have onen did anything come of it? antje: i think they tried to go along somehow in order to o tryo avoid the idea by the public that again one million people will come. they tried many things. they tried a contract and agreement with turkey, which i think can work, but which is politically highly problematic because of the political diversity in turkey. is now trying to prevent the stream of refugees through the mediterranean. they tried these what i would call concentration camps in libya. there is not a vision because i think the problem in this measure has not been there before. there have always been my great -- therebut not today have always been migrant streams, but now today in a globalized world, it is much more frequent. wherea: let's look at things stand now. the numbers of refugees crossing the mediterranean are dropping, but does that mean the situation is improving? we went on board a trip that patrols for europe's border guard agency -- we went on board a ship. a chiffon patrol looking for refugee. often

miniature crackdown. coming next al-jazeera world on the story of a palestinian girl injured by the israelis and her journey to the u.s. for treatment. it's ten a.m. in the morning in san diego california and a major brand is starting on a journey halfway across the globe to cars are palestine. the reason for a trip is a seven year old girl named to fight a. fight i was only three years old when i first met her in the most challenging circumstances. fido was injured in a bomb attack on our home. and her bat crossed with a mild leading to a relationship that can be given no name. yet among find herself on a plane bound for gaza a difficult journey to a dangerous destination something perhaps only a mother could do for her child. my name is farheen omar and like ahmad i also live in san diego when i met some years ago and decided to follow a story i had no idea it would lead to this extraordinary journey. funny i live with the family in a small town called it live here on the outskirts of ka-zar qatar is on the border with israel. and in two thousand and nine during a military attack on an operation cast lead

world champion again this summer. i started playing when i was three years old. i like it. miniaturee world adventure golf masters. we play the top germans, the top swedes and against people across the world. even america have got a team in. there is this whole domestic and international scene, but the world crazy golf championship, there is nothing like it. it is just unique as an event. the world championship which offers a £1000 prize, is open to amateurs too, using whatever they can find, but it is the professionals who now go on to represent great britain at the masters in croatia, hoping to inspire the next generation as well. for all of us, crazy golf can be so frustrating. all the holes are par two including the helter—skelter. could it go? no! can i have that? it bobbled out. it bounced out. it was almost a hole—in—one! that's golf for you, isn't it? let's get a quick check on the t20 last final at edgbaston, birmingham they are sticking on the outlaws after their winds today. we havejust lost their winds today. we havejust lost the wicket of brendan taylor as well as alex h

miniaturized warhead that can fit inside. they're worried it could have capabilities as soon as next year. >> the whole world is out of military option in north korea the only thing left is economic, diplomatic pressure to north korea, but kim jong-un will never give up his nuclear weapons. >> reporter: a pre-emptive strike by america could have catastrophic results, igniting a war, putting millions of people and tens of thousands of u.s. troops in immediate danger. in some ways, there is no mistaking that tonight, what was already a crisis has just got worse. tom? >> ian, thank you. >>> now to the new hurricane threat that could impact the east coast. irma, churning across the atlantic, as a category 3 storm. cheryl scott joins us from wls in chicago. where is this headed? >> we need to keep a close eye on this. it will continue to the west, and impact portions of the leeward islands. as we look at the about 790 miles east of the leeward islands, winds up to 115 miles per hour. will continue moving west, impacting puerto rico, the virgin islands, the bahamabaham. and you can see the models veering closer to florida and the ca

world has never seen. and that's responded to by another test. this by far is the strongest provocation of north korea, the strongest nuclear test they've had. their state claiming they've been able to miniaturize to be able to put it on an icbm missile. it is a very strong threat. all eyes of the world are now on president trump's response who just a few days ago actually slightly opened the door to diplomacy. listen to what he said. >> kim jong-un. i respect the fact that i believe he's starting to respect us. i respect that fact very much. and maybe. probably not. probably not, but maybe something positive can come about. >> the president saying maybe but probably not something could come out of this. then days later when they sent missiles over japan, the president sent out a tweet saying the united states was essentially paying extortion money to north korea and saying talking is not the answer. there's the tweet there. so you've heard a very aggressive line of rhetoric from the president. some of his closest slierzs, secretary of defense james mattis and secretary of state rex tillerson saying that's the route we should take. it will be interesting to see how the president responds. we we

time to say that north korea does have a miniaturized nuclear weapon that can be fitted on an intercontinental ballistic missile, that it does threaten the worldhe said look, we don't know. we can't me that precisely. but what we do know is when north korea says something, it's generally following through. that it's making what he described as rapid protest, the number of tests they've had in the past couple of years are an indication of rapid, rapid protest. and for that reason, these are his words, it now represents a global threat. this is what he said. >> i think north korea is a global one now. in the past we believe that it is regional issue. it is no longer the case. and everyone is aware that this is a global threat. >> but what yukiya amano is doing here is the little that he can. but it's stepping up and getting ready a team of inspectors to go to north korea should there be some kind of diplomatic solution. they're going to be better equipped and better trained than they would have been in the past. he wants them at high readiness to go if they can at all the used. >> we certainly see north korea wrapping up its provocations. anothe

miniature golf course and tiny cafes. >> it's always fun when they do that. breaking barriers in a political world dominated by men, meet a new mom from northern virginia trying to prove you can do it all. >> and speaking of doing it all, a lot to cover this weekend. what have you got going on this weekend? i have your forecast coming up in just a minute. born and raised incian, dr. rrural virginia went to vmi. trained at johns hopkins. an army doctor who treated soldiers seriously wounded in the gulf war. eighteen years as volunteer medical director of a children's hospice. as lt. governor, he's fighting to expand healthcare in virginia. he'll get it done as governor. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, and we need to provide access to affordable healthcare for all virginians, not take it away. >>> two big protests here in the district are going to bring lots of crowds to our area pro trump mother of all rallies to the washington monument. at the same time, the rap rock group called the insane clown posse is organizing a rally and concert near the lincoln memorial. law enforcement has this advice f

miniaturization that is becoming the issue and they seemed to have mastered that. they talked about that a few weeks ago and have shown it to us today. >> yeah, as the world braces for the global reaction, i mean, we find ourselves at a very difficult moment because the fact of the matter is you are dealing with a regime that is paranoid, that is slightest wrong word or move could trigger an action of immeasurable consequence. this is a very, very dangerous moment we find ourselves at. >> it gets, you know, the closer they get to this capability the more dangerous it becomes. and as we go back to what is going to be the regional and global reaction what is the united states going to do? what's japan going to do, what's korean going to do? how are they going to deal with this new reality? and i don't think the kim jong-un regime is irrational. they know what they are doing. they are trying to develop a deterrent, not a first-strike capability. i think there's opportunity here to address this. i don't think we should believe that the sky is falling that that we're going to war any time soon. i think we're -- but we are getting closer to the time when we're going to ha

world is filled with things to see. >> in the movie, matt and tekrisn wiig are husband and wife who shrink to 5 inches tall to help save the planet, to help a community of miniaturizedre everything is downsized, including their people. >> i love the movie. it's a big movie, and there's a lot of special effects, but it's not like there are car chases >> if you could shrink yourself in real life, what would you do? >> hide. >> i can't wait to see this movie. i saw an extended clip, and it looks fun and fantastic. >>> speaking of hiding, there's no hiding from reese witherspoon these days. she's on e-promotional blitz for her new movie, and on the ellen show, but what was supposed to be a simple interview turned into a battle of friendship. who is bffs with oprah and jennifer aniston? >> you're pitching a show with jen aniston. >> yes >> i know about this because jen is, of course, a close friend of mine. >> today on "ellen," this became a tug of war over who is besties with jen. >> she is my best friend. >> she allctuay told me she says that when you are around. >> and then lady o got dragged into the bff fray. >> this is like the delusional relationship you have with

reporter: it's not unusual to see horses even miniature variety in someones toes yard in this part of florida. >> ocala is known as the horse capital of the worldr: but there's more going on here than meets the eye. back to them soon. first, let's go inside where it is loud and crowded. this is training a sort of animal finishing school. >> we do lot of training with dogs. >> how is mo doing. >> ? jessica -- >> all service training it's just dog tricks. taylor, come on. >> and testify knee roberts run out of the their ocala house. >> good. right there. excellent. >> diabetic alert dogs, autism service dogs. hearing dogs. a little bit of everything. >> reporter: which brings us back to these two. the little one is parlay that is honey and she is very special around here. >> she's my five dollars raffle pony. >> literally won her way ticket. it was about the same time jessica's dad was dying with lou gehrig's disease. >> i started taking her to the hospital as a therapy horse. >> reporter: then a doctor diagnosed jessica with an incurable ought to you immune disease that causes sometimes debilitating back, hip and joint problem. the idea hit her

world that are known to understand how to build this stuff. >> yeah, it's -- we've been focussing a great deal on the sophistication of nuclear weapons, miniaturization, delivery means using icbms and the rest. but there's a great deal of danger as well in the proliferation of fissile material. >> yeah, exactly. >> and of even low-level technical capability to detonate something. we had some -- for some time after 9/11 been very much concerned about dirty bombs. there was a great deal of talk of -- talk about in the media and the public. we don't talk about it very much anymore but that danger is very real. and like you suggest, the proliferation of technology from the north has been far and wide. and it's one of the things we need to pay a great deal, not just us, but other countries as well, and in europe in particular, brought live race of fissile material and its use in dirty bombs. we're constantly trading information about this with other countries. the exchange of intelligence information among the united states and europe and our allies in asia is fairly robust. but perfect information is impossible to be had. not just about north korea, but

miniaturize the military weapon small enough they could put it on top of one of these icbm, the intercontinental ballistic missiles they're testing, initially most of the experts and intelligence around the world said we don't believe it. now they think may have they have. and that changes the equation. because with all of these tests, they have been steadily pushing the reach of their nuclear arsenal. so they cannot only hit allies like south korea and japan, but also maybe alaska, maybe hawaii, maybe parts of the continental united states now. it is still from an engineering sense a huge ask to put a missile into space, bring a warhead back at 17,000 miles an hour into the atmosphere and get it to go toward a target and perform as expected. but with every test, they are clearly getting closer to figuring out that rubik's cube. brooke, if they do, that can drastically change any negotiations with north korea. >> tom foreman, thank you very much. and as the president this morning, if you're watching his twitter feed, pretty much saying mum on all things north korea. instead, he went off about the attack this morning in london with the bomber or bombers on the run. 29 people were injured when t

world war ii. what we're talking about is a powerful bomb, a bomb that if everything proves out based on the things that we've seen so far could have been placed in a miniaturized warhead. that miniaturized warhead could potentially be placed on an intercontinental ballistic missile. that's where the real danger comes in. >> and after this missile test happened over the weekend for those who weren't aware because they were away for the holiday, we saw defense secretary james mattis stepping before the microphones and making a strong statement. >> any threat to the united states or its territories including guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response. a response both effective and overwhelming. we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. as i said, we have many options to do so. >> what do you think is the massive military response? what does that -- what is that comprised of? >> well, in normal situation, a massive military response would be unleashing almost everything that we have on a particular target. in the case of north korea, what we're talking about is a type of response that would involve the air

world war ii. >> it is a qualitatively different test. >> jonathan pollack is with the weapons program. >> it's not only a much more powerful weapon but might also be something much more miniaturized so that it would in theory at least be able to fit on the warhead of a long range missile. >> reporter: just before the nuclear test, north korea released these pictures of kim jong-un looking at it. north korea successfully tested two icbms in july. >> this is the highest. he extraordinary extent, far beyond what i would have imagined a year or two ago. >> they will allow the u.s. to install two more thaad rocket launchers. it's part of a missile defense system here in south korea. dana? >> ben, thank you. >>> they're warning north korea of a mass unmilitary response to any major threat. major, good morning. >> good morning. the sense that both nakss are on a collision course is quite unmistakenab unmistakenable. in statement released here at the white house yesterday, president trump said all assets are at his disposal including the vast u.s. nuclear arsenal. north korea's successful test of an alleged hydrogen bomb far more powerful than the atomic bombs at the nuclear age brought
