North Korea must give up nuclear ambitions - US

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US has warned that failing to curb North Korea's nuclear missile programme could lead to 'catastrophic consequences'. A former US ambassador says President trump will be "very worried" about the pace at which the regime was developing a deliverable atomic weapon. On the eve of his 100th day in office, we hear from America's rust belt and ask how is support for the President holding up? Also on the programme - why will European Union leaders be discussing the prospects for a United Ireland in Brussels tomorrow? And one of the surgeons in India treating the world's heaviest woman for weight loss. Picture: A North Korean long-range rocket is launched Credit: KOYDO TV via Reuters.
