China Warns of Escalating Tensions in North Korea

BBC World Service - Newshour, China Warns of Escalating Tensions in North Korea

What next for relations between US, North Korea and China?

Following US strikes in Syria, North Korea says it plans a nuclear test to demonstrate its military might. But what does this mean for geopolitical relations between the US, North Korea, and its neighbour, China? 

Also on the programme: front line reports from Iraq and Ukraine; several thousand people in Syria are being evacuated from besieged towns; and the persecution of gay and LGBT people in Chechnya leads to repercussions for Russian journalists covering the story.
