Thank you. Russias president , Vladimir Putin, has warned of a global catastrophe if military tensions with north korea continue to increase. Mr putin also dismissed the worth of imposing further sanctions on pyongyang, saying the countrys leadership would rather eat grass than abandon its Nuclear Programme. Meanwhile, south korea has been holding more live fire drills and has been staging a major naval exercise off the countrys east coast. A south korean commander said the norths forces would be buried at sea in the event of a further provocation. The countrys president says hes open to dialogue with the north but now is not the time for talks. China, the norths main ally, is still urging caution and has called for a return to negotiations. 0ur correspondentjohn sudworth is in dandong, on the border between china and north korea. The chinese city of dandong where im standing is a very good position from which to contemplate chinas role in the north korean crisis. If we pan the camera across, you can see just how close the two countries are at this point, connected by the iron bridge behind me. And almost all of north koreas trading goods, as well as its vital crude oil supply, flows across this border. You can see a dilapidated north korean power station on the other side there, a sign of its antiquated Energy Infrastructure. Donald trumps argument, of course, is china could, if it wanted to, force north korea into submission by turning off the tap on this lifeline, but when you look at this proximity, you can understand why the chinese leadership sees things very differently indeed. The idea of pushing north korea towards regime collapse would bring chaos, instability, factional infighting, the possibility of war in a state that already has its hands on nuclear weapons, which is why beijing wont contemplate the idea of a total trade embargo. It wont contemplate the idea of military action. It has insisted all along that the only way to resolve this crisis is, as unpalatable to washington as it may be, is for the us to sit down with north korea at the negotiation table and for a return to dialogue. Lets get more now on those comments from president putin, speaking in china this morning and speak to our moscow correspondent sarah ra i nsfo rd. Sarah, Vladimir Putin has, like china, dismissed putting further sanctions on north korea. What is moscow s view of the way forward . Thats right, russias position is similarto thats right, russias position is similar to that of china. Russia and china but forward a road map for resolving the crisis on the Korean Peninsula. President putin has made clear that whilst russia sees the latest nuclear test by north korea as provocative, as he put it, and has condemned those, he doesnt think sanctions are the way forward. In fact, these are the north korean leadership would prefer to wheat grass than enter their Nuclear Programme says sanctions he said we re programme says sanctions he said were a dead end road but also he was very strong in terms of what he called the military hysteria that he said was being whipped up over the crisis on the Korean Peninsula. He said that that was to nowhere, this kind of rhetoric needs to end and all sides need to return to the negotiation table. As russia sees it, it seems all sides, including john young, like china, are pushing for a return to talks and says the only way to resolve this crisis is through diplomacy, but its difficult to know what influence russia can bring to bear on the situation. It has important historic ties withjohn situation. It has important historic ties with john young, situation. It has important historic ties withjohn young, but in terms of economic leverage, political leverage even, its difficult to know how much pressure russia can actually exert on north korea. Thank you very much, sarah. Lets look at some of todays other developing stories. The search has resumed for a man missing off the cornish coast.

A french court is expected to deliver verdicts today in a privacy case involving topless photographs of the duchess of cambridge. The pictures were taken while the duchess and her husband were on holiday in provence five years ago, and published in the magazine closer. 0ur paris correspondent Hugh Schofield reports. It was five years ago, while the royal couple were staying at this mansion in the south of france, that the secret photographs were taken. The topless images of the duchess of cambridge were published in a french celebrity magazine but they were quickly withdrawn from circulation after the couple obtained an injunction. Separately, though, criminal charges were brought against the magazine and, last may, two of the Editorial Staff and two photographers were tried for invasion of privacy. With the 20th anniversaryjust past on the death of Prince Williams mother in paris, inevitably it evokes memories of the role paparazzi played in pursuing princess dianas limousine. A Coroners Court in the uk said photographers were part responsible for her unlawful death. Today, after they announced the good news of their third expected baby, for the duke and duchess, the verdict in paris may bring back memories theyd much ratherforget but by pushing from the start for record damages, they have made their point. The right to privacy is not something the uk royals will give up without a fight. Hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. And our correspondent Hugh Schofield joins us from paris. France has strict privacy laws. What was the defence used in justifying the publication of these photographs . The defence said at the Court Hearing back in may that these we re Court Hearing back in may that these were pictures which were in the public interest, because this was a very well known couple that people wa nt to very well known couple that people want to know about, and that the pictures did not in any way demean the couple, in fact it showed them to bea the couple, in fact it showed them to be a loving couple and could only enhance their standing with the public. I have to say that all the lawyers and people who know about this, ive spoken to, find the item and pretty tenuous, and is universal speculation there will be a guilty verdict at the end of this because far less important cases with less important people come up regularly in the courts and they are routinely guilty verdicts returned. The law was quite clear here, you cannot invade privacy in so glaring a fashion as it seems was the case here. What happens is that the fla bby here. What happens is that the flabby magazines in france regularly do it anyway because they can withstand the relatively small fines which routinely get handed down bashing celebrity magazines. Whats interesting about this case is theres an expectation it will begin to but what kind of damages are issued . The to but what kind of damages are issued . The royal to but what kind of damages are issued . The royal couple and their lawyers are pushing for a very, very high figure of lawyers are pushing for a very, very highfigure of1. 5 lawyers are pushing for a very, very high figure of 1. 5 Million Euros which would be totally unprecedented in france. The question is whether the Court Decides that there is Something Special about this case. The fact they are the royal family, and secondly, this argument that Prince William in particular had cause to suffer because of the memory of his mother and the way that she died and the link shall we say with a paparazzi, whether that extra torment on his part might lead the court to deliver higher damages. Thats what we are really waiting to see. Thanks very much. Keep us updated.
