North Korea tests new weapon
State media has reported the test of a new "tactical guided weapon"
North Korea says it has tested a new tactical guided weapon. Observers suggest that it was probably a short-range weapon. The news comes on the same day a senior foreign ministry official has demanded the removal of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from nuclear talks. We hear from a senior North Korean defector.
Also in the programme: US Attorney General William Barr gives a news conference ahead of the release of the Mueller report into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
And researchers say they have discovered a giant mammal with huge fangs that roamed around East Africa more than 20 million years ago.
