Kims nuclear bases. It says they could be involved but what would be the risk involves two raf planes . Not very much, they are unlikely to be shot down. Whether it happens or not i dont know, the bigger risk is the Nuclear Armageddon that might break out. There is not much risk to oui break out. There is not much risk to our planes, probably. But as rowena says, it is interesting that you have footage of people in why, some quite relaxed about it, saying they have heard all about it. People hear my filly bit more nervous if we were in the firing line. The interesting thing about this was that trumps rhetoric is quite bellicose and al gore was making the point on radio 4 that it gore was making the point on radio 4 Thatitis Gore was making the point on radio 4 that it is not trump being a hothead, this is a problem that other illustrations in the past have allowed to develop and therefore it isa allowed to develop and therefore it is a big problem that is going to have to be confronted. And whether this method of his girls put pressure on china to exert some influence on north korea and achieve something, it has achieved something through the sanctions of the un security council, maybe all these hot words will lead to something actually being achieved. On the other hand, there is the massive danger that people could talk themselves into something abysmal. And north koreas response is that if all think about putting its Military Plan into action and firing a missile very near to guam. Far more newspapers on the egg story. The daily mail. The Food Standards Agency saying that 21,000 eggs were affected and it turned out to be 700,000 there is a question about not least in the belgian and the netherlands where they knew about this and the warnings were not passed on, and we are discovering this because they have arrived on our shelves in greater numbers and without thought. It is hard to get too worked up about it given that there doesnt seem to be much health risk according to the Food Standards Agency. Fortunately, it is something not very desirable, but probably with no negative consequences to people eating it. I think part of it, why it is interesting, is that although this pesticide not supposed to pose a health to human health, theres an Element Creeping in about a cover up which is why people are suspicious. The numbers went up from 21,000 to 700,000, they think, and people might have been eating these eggs for quite a few months. So people may be beginning to doubt whether it is more harmful than the Food Standards Agency has been making out . Goes back to other controversies like bobo horse meat, this issue of the food chain, like the horse meat scandal, the issue of the food chain, how many countries is food going through before it reaches our shelves. Do we trust people providing our food and the people monitoring . The times, modern slavery widespread in the uk. The tip of the iceberg that we have established. The National Crime agency saying that every large towns and cities probably has people involved in this kind of slavery whether it is in agriculture or domestic labour. It isa in agriculture or domestic labour. It is a really shocking story and modern slavery has been a huge focus of theresa may which she was in the home office and tried to carry on when she was in number ten but the interesting element of the story is that prosecutions of slavery and trafficking fell last year from 129 to 96. It is obviously taking some time for all these new measures that theresa may brought in to clamp down on modern slavery to come through and work. To be fair to the National Crime agency, they made the point that rather like terrorism, people are not necessarily charged under terrorism offences, they are charged. Well, not normal, but non terrorist related offences. These may have been charged with rape or drugs or Money Laundering offences. So they may not reflect the full picture. What is true, is that the anti slavery commissioner raised concerns that the anti fashion the National Crime agency and not been acting on information received and more broadly, they were saying today that they were shocked by the scale of it so it seems as if there has been a slight slowness to get on top of it. Now people are getting aware of it and realising the scale. Rowena, tell us about this guardian story, fresh concerns over safety of tower blocks. Another shocking story by peter walker. It is about some tower blocks in south london where hundreds of people have been told to leave their homes because there is a different risk to the tower blocks, not the fire risk that had such tragic consequences in brimful tower, it is to do with gas safety and they have been told that they have to switch off all kinds of Gas Appliances and potentially move out. Decamp, is the word they use, decamp for several weeks or days in which isa for several weeks or days in which is a strange word to have to use to them. This is in Southwark Councils territory. It says that these blocks, and may apply elsewhere, after the disaster many years ago, Southern Tower Blocks were built with these Big Slabs Of Concrete Bolted together on site and for some reason, which i can understand what it is, the commendation of those Concrete Slabs and gas, if theres an explosion in one flat, what must happen is that the Concrete Slab Breaks and it causes the whole thing to collapse. It is saying that these tower blocks were meant to have been reinforced, the council for they had been reinforced, but it turns out they have never been reinforced. These residents have been living in these blocks which could come down like a pack of cards if there was a gas explosion. And it might affect other tower blocks so it comes back to the issue about the checks that are done on tower blocks and safety and so on and the Chain Of Command in this whole area. And the fact that it takes a terrible tragedy like Grenfell Tower for people to be checking about this kind of risk. Lets look at the ft. Tiny story here. France urges fairer taxation of us tax. Martin, you spotted this, what is it about . Us technical companies. The french and the German Companies. The french and the German Companies have put some proposals to the next European Council meeting in finland next month and they are complaining that the French Economy minister has said that as b b, which is frances second which has france as the biggest market has paid Something Like £99 in france in the past year and they are not paying any tax on the millions they are making. It is familiarfrom google and so on. These multinational corporations which are operating across, making huge amounts of money, and not paying tax in the countries they are based on. This is a european attempt to find some way of ensuring that what our fair taxes are paid by these companies. In the European Union, there might be a fair chance of getting them to pay within the European Union but its probably requires an International Effort and not all countries will feel so inclined. That is what politicians have been banging their heads against for a long time. You have these International Summits and there have a lwa ys International Summits and there have always been low Tax Jurisdictions and it has always been difficult for the companies that want to do something about it to act unilaterally but it seems like france is having a good go at it. Lets finish with the daily telegraph. When you are drinking that chilled diet drink and feeling virtuous because you gave up the full sugar variety, we have got bad news. Diet drinks could make you put on weight. What is the Science Behind this . Apparently, if you have a diet drink, the body normally associate sweetness with lots of calories and burn them off, or tried to burn some of them. And if the diet drink doesnt with the diet drinks, it doesnt get the message, there is a mismatch between the sweetness of the drinks and the banning of calories, so it makes you fat and is pointless. Very alarming for people who drink a lot of diet fizzy drinks. But i suppose there are other reasons that you might drink the strings, for your teeth. The bubbles are very good. Drink water. The Reward Circuits dont register the right sort of makes between sweet and calories. They dont taste so good anyway, so you might as well the full fat version that it fully papers for tonight.

Coming up next, the weather. Good evening. The weekends weather doesnt look too disappointing that thereafter, the unsettled theme will continue. So far in august particularly for england and wales, it has been wet all very wet. We have some dry weather in southern and eastern areas today and the north and west had a second dry day.

The rain will be heaviest in the health and it will hold temperatures down up overnight. There will be some foggy in england if you get up early. A next area of low pressure rushing in, whether france will bring more cloud doing the day. Enjoy the morning sunshine because they will be the driest, brightest part of the day for most of us. As we approach the rush hour, we have cloud increasing across the fringes of england and wales. The rain is already with us, its a patchy type. We could manage 22 degrees in the moray firth, but the exception rather than the rule. Most of scotla nd exception rather than the rule. Most of scotland and northern ireland, a cloudier windy day. And a cloudier windy afternoon across much of england and wales. Just before hes hanging on to sunny weather and some warmth. For most, feeling cooler because of the breeze and a lack of sunshine. 0n because of the breeze and a lack of sunshine. On friday evening and saturday, we see these Weather Funds clearing away. It does not look to much of a wash out. Largely dry with sunny spells. Very usable weather because initially it may start great on saturday morning and a few splashes of rain, and just a few showers over the North East Of England is developing as we go through the day, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. Not particularly warm because the breezes coming down from the north west, but not as strong as on friday. A chilly start on sunday morning. The old shell and a good deal of dry, bright weather. Goodbye. The odd shower and a good deal of dry bright weather. This is bbc news. Im martine croxall.
