North Korea has said that it has for the first time successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. The announcement was made on state television. It came hours after a tremor 2 with a magnitude of 5.1 was detected near a known nuclear test site in the northeast of the country. The statement says it was a miniaturized device. Steve Evans has more details. “North Korea claims it has tested a hydrogen bomb, a step-up in destructive power from the materials used in three previous tests. It gives more explosive power for a lighter 3 weight, so making any bomb easier to put on a missile. North Korea has also been testing missile's launch from submarines. The ability to launch missiles from submarines will change the whole calculation of military response, because warning times of an attack on, for example, the west coast of the United States would be much shorter.” Pyongyang's nuclear test has drawn 4 widespread condemnation 5. South Korea's President Park Guen-hye said it was a grieve provocation 6 and violation 7 of UN Security Council resolutions. The Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe described it as a threat to Japan's safety. China's state run news agency Xin hua said any action that disrupted regional stability was unwise. Some analysts 8 are skeptical 9 about North Korea's claims. Nevertheless,the former US nuclear negotiator Christopher Hill says the test is significant enough. “I think what's important is they are continuing on the test program,they don't care what anyone else thinks. And they clearly are intending to miniaturize a hydrogen weapon and at some point put it on the missile. So we have a big problem, regardless of how big the explosion was today.”

朝鲜称首次完成氢弹试验。朝鲜东北部一个核试验场发生了5.1级的地震，几小时后，朝鲜中央电视台公布了此消息。消息称，此次当量是非常小的。史蒂夫·埃文斯为您带来详细报道。“朝鲜称首次成功进行了氢弹试验，其破坏力大于前三次的核试验。此次氢弹爆炸力增大，但质量减轻，这样任何一枚炸弹容易搭载导弹。朝鲜也正在进行潜水艇发射导弹试验。潜水艇发射导弹实验将会改变整个军事的反应计算能力，因为对于袭击所提供的警示时间，例如，美国西海岸受到接收到的警示时间将会大大缩短。”朝鲜核试验得到了广泛的谴责。韩国总统朴槿惠称朝鲜此举系严重的挑衅，违反了联合国安理会的决议。日本首相安倍晋三称这对日本的安全构成了威胁。中国国家新闻机构新华社称任何破坏地区稳定的举措都是不明智的。一些分析人士怀疑朝鲜声明的真实性。但是，前美国核谈判代表克里斯托弗·希尔称这次试验的影响重大。“我认为值得关注的是朝鲜仍在进行核试验，他们并不在乎国际谴责。非常明显，他们试图将氢武器微型化，然后安置到导弹上。不管今天爆炸的威力偶多大，我们现在面临一个严重的问题。”

Astronomers 23 say they've detected a black hole belching 24 vast clouds of gas in a neighboring galaxy 25. Large black holes are known to blast materials outward on the certain conditions. But this outburst, about 26million light years away, is one of the closest ever detected. Scientists, like Dr. Eric Schlehel of the University of Texas, say this sort of cosmic event would have been far more common in a younger more violent universe. “I would expect that in early universe, it'd be very common. Gases ought to be in higher density 26. Therefore, they ought to collide a lot more. And this mechanism 27 that we saw, like represented here, ought to have been fairly common.” BBC News.
