Hello, I'm Johnson Issac with the BBC news. North and South Korea said they've reached a deal after a marathon talks designed to reduce tension of their border. Both countries put their military forces on alert after a brief exchange of fire last week. Steven Evens reports from Seoul. "It took just short of 48 hours of talking before the two sides stepped back from serious armed confrontation1. South Korea agreed to stop broadcasting propaghanda into the North from banks of loudspeakers. And North Korea expressed regret about the incident which sparked the crisis. South Korea depicted2 that expression of regret as an apology. The agreement now reached is not expected to lead to a permanent easing of tension."
The leaders of France and Germany have called for European Union countries to work together to deal with migrant crisis. At a joint3 news conference in Berlin, the German Chancellor4 Angela Merkel said current rules such as registering migrants were now being followed. The French President Francois Hollande called for a fair distribution of asylum5 seekers between member states, and what he called the dignified6 return of those entering illegally. Here in the U.K, the government has due to announce new proposals to tackle illegal immigration. New figures are expected to show that migrants to Britain has reached record levels. Daniel Sanford has the detail. "The immigration bill which should be published before Chritmas will include the criminal offence in England and Welsh of working illegally. We have now learned that the maximum penalty will be six months in prison and an unlimited7 fine as well as the possibility of wages being ceased as proceeds of crimes. Business discovered using illegal workers will no longer be able to claim they didn't know a particular employee was not allowed to work. They'll have to show that they carried out proper checks before taking them on."
It's been a day of turmoil8 along stockmarkets around the world has fierce deepened over economic slowdown in China. At one point the Dow Jones index in the United States was down by 1.000 points, one of its biggest ever falls. Although it later rallied, it still close down more than 3.5% on the day. The main markets in Europe and Asia fell by more than 4%. And China's Shanghai was down more than 8%. Our economic editor Robert Peston has this assessment9 of China's economic troubles. "For thirty years they grew 10%. The official grow target this year is quite a lot less than 7%. But if you look at the fundamentals that they are so dependent on debt-fuelled investment, they can't go on much longer,that growth could fall much more to save 3%. Now the point is that China has been generating quarter of the world's growth for years and years and years. If growth falls from 10% to 3%, I'm afraid that does mean that global growth slows down very dramatically indeed."World news from the BBC.
