our main headline: the un security council imposes $1 billion worth of sanctions on north korea over s. more now on the sanctions just imposed on north korea by the united nations security council. they're intended to hit the north's trade in coal and iron to try to force it to give up its missile and nuclear weapons programmes. i asked harry kazianis, director of defence studies at the us think tank, the centre for the national interest, what he thinks of the new sanctions. they certainly sound good. keep in mind, north korea's economy is only worth $14 billion. it is one third the size of ethiopia. it sounds good. the challenge has been the same challenge facing us for over a decade. will the chinese, who actually import 90% of north korea's goods, actually enforce the sanctions. we have been talking about this for a long time. the chinese are the ones that pull the trigger and make these sanctions happen. while i think this is good the international community recognises what we need to do, the question is will china act? i hate to say it, but i think the answer is no. you have been
