US Demands Tougher Sanctions Against North Korea

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The UN's Security Council met in New York after North Korea tested a hydrogen bomb. The US envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, told the meeting her country's patience was "not unlimited" and would table a resolution to toughen sanctions. China, meanwhile, wants to negotiate with North Korea. We hear from China's economic correspondent at the Financial Times, Yuan Yang, live from the North Korean border. We also speak to the head of the UK's public relations industry body, which has expelled the British firm Bell Pottinger over its controversial PR campaign in South Africa. Plus, how Sydney's rocketing real estate market is forcing people to live on the streets. Lucy Burton is joined throughout the programme by David Kuo of The Motley Fool from Singapore and activist Jose Martin in Washington DC.
