I'm Stewart Macintosh with the BBC news. Hello.
China is imposing1 a ban on North Korean ships entering its ports. Chinese media quoted the foreign ministry2 as saying that Beijing was applying the terms of latest United Nations resolution. Robin3 Brant reports more from Shanghai.
United Nations approved further sanctions last week, placing even more stringent4 restrictions5 on North Korea's ability to trade. China hasn't always enforced those measures as tightly as others. It remains6 the prior state's only significant ally. But China's foreign minister said all North Korean ship will be now be barred from entering its ports. The People's Daily described Wang Yi's comments as a full implementation7 of the UN sanctions.
In Myanmar, the National League for Democracy which dominates parliament has put forward the names of two nominees8 to become vice9 presidents of the country. One of them should eventually be chosen as president. Htin Kyaw, a trusted aid of the party leader Aung San Suu Kyi, is one of the candidates. It's thought he'll get the job but as our reporter Jenna Fischer explains he'll act as a proxy10 for Ms Suu Kyi who is barred from standing11.
Aung San Suu Kyi has made it pretty clear that whatever position she's put in, whoever she has to put in as president of this country, that she will still be the one in charge, she will lead this government, she will be making those decisions. So Htin Kyaw, when he becomes president of this country, he'll still have take orders from her.
Prosecutors12 in Brazil say they're filing money-laundering charges against the popular former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Prosecutors says Lula and his wife failed to declare ownership of a luxury seafront penthouse in the exclusive resort of Guaruja. The former president denies the accusations13 and says the charges are politically motivated.
The two contenders for the Democratic party's presidential nomination14 in the US, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, have argued fiercely over their records in their latest televised debate. They also clashed on their immigration policies as Laura Bicker15 reports from Washington.
The candidates faced tough questions on immigration. They both agreed they would not deport16 children or immigrants without criminal records and they both favor a path to citizenship17. Hillary Clinton was also asked about polling which suggests voters think she is not trustworthy. She said it was obviously painful for her to hear. And she is not a natural politician like her husband or Barack Obama. But she hoped people could see she was fighting for them.
US media says at least five people, four women and a man, have been killed in a shooting in the town of Wilkinsburg near Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.At least three others were wounded. Witnesses say at least two gunmen fired at the backyard of barbecue party. One witness heard at least twenty shots being fired. The suspects are still at large.
This is the world news from the BBC.

Last year, the girl was reunited with her family after she befriended a younger girl at her school to whom she bore a striking resemblance. DNA19 test confirmed that the two were sisters.

The British-based monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory20 of Human rights says one of top military commanders of IS Omar al-Shishani has escaped alive but was severely21 injured during a US air strike.

The Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau has arrived in Washington, the start of the first state visit to the White House by a Canadian leader in nearly twenty years. Relations between the Obama administration with the precious Conservative government of Canada was strained. But shortly after the election of the liberal Mr Trudeau in October, Mr Obama extended an invitation. Talks between the two leaders are likely to focus on trade and environmental issues.
Three American conservation groups are petitioning the US government to protect a rare type of dolphin. There are only 75 of the animals left, a Taiwanese subspecies of the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin. Cindy Sui reports from Taipei.
Petition calls for the subspecies to be protected under the Endangered Species Act and urges the US agency, the National Marine22 Fishery Service to encourage Taiwan's government to address pollution, illegal fishing, boat traffic and other threats that these dolphins face into shallow waters along Taiwan's industrialized and densely23 populated west coast.
