China Urges Washington and Pyongyang to Act Cautiously

China has urged Washington and Pyongyang to be cautious with their words and actions after the two sides stepped up their rhetoric over North Korea’s weapons programme. Earlier, US Defence Secretary James Mattis said diplomacy was gaining results and war would be "catastrophic".

Also in the programme; why is the outgoing prime minister of Pakistan holding rallies from Islamabad to Lahore? And, a former president of Brazil warns the US not to overthrow President Maduro of Venezuela.
