Security Council split on N Korea

The United Nations Security Council is divided on how to address North Korea's ballistic missile testing last week. On Monday, China's UN ambassador Wang Guangya circulated a draft statement condemning the tests, but making no mention of punitive sanctions.

But the US, France and UK rejected it, choosing to support a Japanese draft resolution which includes sanctions.

The BBC's UN correspondent Richard Galpin says division within the Council is becoming increasingly acrimonious.
