North Korea reveal train-based ballistic missile system
North Korea has reported that they successfully launched ballistic missiles from a train for the first time on Wednesday.
It comes as North and South Korea test-fired missiles hours apart in duelling displays of military might.
The move highlights a return of tensions between the rivals amid a prolonged stalemate in U.S.-led talks aimed at stripping North Korea of its nuclear weapons programme.
Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency said the missiles were launched during a drill that saw the rockets transported along rail tracks in the country’s mountainous central region.
State television already reports that the rockets accurately struck a sea target 500 miles away.

France: AUKUS security pact a 'stab in the back' that 'betrayed trust'
The French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian expressed anger after Australia announced it would be backing out of a French deal to build diesel powered submarines.
Australia have instead signed a nuclear submarine deal with the US as part of the newly-announced AUKUS agreement.
Le Drian branded the move as a "stab in the back" whilst adding that France's trust in Australia had been "betrayed."
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that his country decided to instead invest in the US nuclear-powered submarines because of a changed strategic environment.
The country's nuclear-powered submarine fleet will be built in conjunction with both the US and the UK under a newly announced security alliance of those nations.

Aukus pact 'not adversarial' towards China, says Boris Johnson

They also have a shared interest in promoting democracy and freedom of trade around the world, the Prime Minister said.

Joe Biden appears to forget Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison's name
Joe Biden appeared to forget the Australian prime minister’s name during a speech at the White House on Wednesday announcing a new strategic partnership in the region with Australia and Britain.
The US president seemed to come up blank as he stared at Scott Morrison on a screen next to him, calling him “the fella from Down Under”.
The gaffe-prone 79-year-old president is known to either forget, or confuse, names.

Planet Normal: Paul Gambaccini on 'barbaric' Met Police and why Cressida Dick must resign | Podcast
Follow the Planet Normal podcast to make sure you never miss an episode: https://www.playpodca.st/planetnormal?
Professor of Pop Paul Gambaccini boards this week's rocket to Planet Normal, with some disquieting words for the Metropolitan Police after he signed an open letter calling for the head of the force, Cressida Dick, to be replaced in her role. In a damning interview, he tells Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan why, seven years after he was cleared of claims of sexual abuse, he feels he was used as 'human flypaper' to encourage others to make allegations against celebrities.
Plus: it's straight sets and straight talking this week as our co-pilots applaud US Open winner Emma Raducanu for her poise, her grace and her lack of grunting. Our co-pilots indulge in a nostalgic trip down British sporting memory lane.
And it’s not just tennis that’s holding court this week: Liam warns of an 'Autumn of discontent', Allison tells listeners why Chris Whitty has left her feeling as if she's living through Groundhog Day and both our co-pilots notice a growing sense of disillusionment with the government.

It is the world's first rocket flight with an all-amateur crew, with no professional astronauts on board.

Why Boris Johnson’s widespread reshuffle represents a big reset moment | Analysis
Boris Johnson's Cabinet reshuffle represents a “big reset moment” as the Prime Minister looks to deliver on his manifesto pledges, according to The Telegraph’s Deputy Political Editor Lucy Fisher.
Mr Johnson “is a man in a hurry” after devoting two years of his premiership to tackling Covid-19, she added.
Liz Truss today replaced Dominic Raab as Foreign Secretary, while Nadhim Zahawi has been named Education Secretary after Gavin Williamson lost his job.
“Boris Johnson is in a rush to get going with some of the Conservative manifesto pledges at the last election,” said Lucy Fisher in her analysis video above.
“The widespread nature of the shake-up shows that he really wants to rejuvenate this government.”

Australia brings back Eastern Barred Bandicoot from brink of extinction
A small nocturnal marsupial that once roamed the Australian mainland has been brought back from the brink of extinction after a decades-long conservation effort.
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot populated the grassy plains of Victoria state's southwest until it was all but obliterated by non-native foxes, feral cats and habitat destruction.
By 1989, there were just 150 animals left in the region, mostly scrounging an existence in rusted-out cars at a rubbish dump.
Over the past three decades, multi-million dollar captive breeding and rewilding programmes have revived the mainland Australian population to an estimated 1,500 - bumping it off the state's "extinct in the wild" list.

South Korea successfully tests submarine-launched ballistic missile
South Korea successfully tested a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) on Wednesday, becoming the first country without nuclear weapons to develop such a system as it aims to better counter North Korea's growing capabilities.
Moon Jae-in, the South’s president, attended an underwater ejection test of the SLBM aboard the new 3,000 tonne class Dosan Ahn Chang-ho submarine commissioned last month, his office said.
News about the tests broke as Wang Yi, the Chinese foreign minister, visited Seoul. Asked about the cruise missile launches, he said he hoped for “peace and stability” on the Korean peninsula.
But he said that other countries were also “engaging in military activities,” adding that “we all have to work together toward the resumption of dialogue.”
Mr Wang made no direct mention of the recent joint US-South Korea military drills, although he warned against expanding the US-led Five Eyes intelligence alliance to include Seoul, denouncing the group as an “outdated” product of the Cold War era.

Police have arrested dozens of people connected to the incident, which caused huge traffic queues on Wednesday
Activists from Insulate Britain stopped traffic at Junction 23 for South Mimms in Hertfordshire and the main carriageway from Junction 8 at Reigate to Junction 9 at Leatherhead, both in Surrey, at around 8am.
Demonstrators sat on the road, while stranded motorists beeped their horns. One disgruntled cafe owner refused money offered by the protesters after he was prevented from getting to work.

SpaceX: Meet the crew of the world's first all-civilian space mission
The four would-be citizen astronauts poised to ride a SpaceX rocket ship around the globe as the first all-civilian crew launched into orbit said on Tuesday they were eager for liftoff on the eve of their flight, feeling only "the good kind" of jitters.
"I was just worried that this moment would never come in my life. Let's get going, let's do it," said Sian Proctor, 51, a geoscience professor, artist and lifelong space enthusiast who was a 2009 finalist in NASA's astronaut candidate program before she was cut.
Ms Proctor also disclosed she and her flightmates received a telephone call from one of her personal heroes, former first lady Michelle Obama, wishing them well, an honor she said "would stay with me the rest of my life."
The "Inspiration4" quartet are due for liftoff as early as 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday (01.00 BST) from launch complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida for an orbital flight expected to last about three days before splashdown.

PMQs In full: Boris Johnson faced MPs after winter plans to tackle Covid-19 are announced
Boris Johnson faced Keir Starmer and MPs in the Commons for Prime Minister's Questions following the announcement of the Government’s plan to tackle Covid-19 over the winter period.
Mr Johnson began by paying tribute to women's singles champion Emma Raducanu, following her win at the US Open.
Leader of the Labour Party, Sir Keir Starmer, grilled the Prime Minister over the cut to universal credit that saw the £20 uplift removed.
Mr Starmer asked repeated questions about universal credit and linked the issue with the rise in taxes announced last week, accusing the PM of "hammering working people with tax rises and universal credit cuts".
