An entirely new genus of trees has been discovered in Britain by Prime Minister Theresa May that appears to grow missiles perfect for delivering airstrikes on Middle Eastern countries. The tree is being dubbed the ‘magic missile tree’ and will come as a huge relief to Britain as similar missiles would have previously costs over half-a-million pounds each to drop on unsuspecting brown people. ‘While the Conservative Party insists on very careful budgeting of anything that’d make Britain a better place to live, it can now make other countries a much worse place to live for free,’ said Hornugus Scrungle, a professor of economics. Britain has already tasked horticultural experts with growing further magic missile trees to provide it with even more military might. However, one was immediately fired when he suggested the tree might be genetically modified to grow actual money. ‘The idea of a magic money tree is laughable,’ said a stony faced Theresa May.

US warns of military option if North Korea nuclear and missile tests continue. Play Video 1:16 The US has warned it could revert to military options if new sanctions fail to curb North Korean missile and nuclear tests, after Pyongyang fired a missile over Japan for the second time in two weeks. The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, and the national security advisor, HR McMaster, told reporters that the latest set of UN sanctions – imposed earlier this week after North Korea’s sixth nuclear test – would need time to take effect, but they suggested that after that, the US would consider military action. Now, it’s not what we prefer to do, so what we have to do is call on all nations to do everything we can to address this global problem, short of war.” Haley said the North Korea issue could soon become a matter for the Pentagon and the defence secretary, James Mattis. In a unanimous statement late on Friday, the UN Security Council said it “strongly condemned” the missile launch, but did not threaten further sanctions on Pyongyang. The US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, put the onus on Beijing and Moscow to implement the agreed sanctions to the limit. “China supplies North Korea with most of its oil. Japan has warned North Korea it risked having no “bright future” and called for an emergency meeting of the UN security council after Pyongyang launched a ballistic missile over Japanese territory for the second time in just over two weeks. “China is not the focus. And China is not the key to resolving the issue,” Hua said.
