36	773308	seems not to have happened. Was there an element of payback for Japan's occupation of Korea? The world according to	North Korea	remains hard to fathom. While rumours had circulated for years, Boynton says, Japan's difficult (to put it mildly) history of

36	793694	for ballistic missile technology which is banned under UN Security Council resolutions. This follows a fourth nuclear test conducted by	North Korea	on January 6. The rocket was fired from North Korea's west coast and its path was tracked separately by the
36	793875	Party Talks on the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, immediately and without preconditions." The UN deplored the rocket launch by	North Korea	warning it was in violation of Security Council resolutions against Pyongyang's use of ballistic missile technology. A spokesman for UN
36	793920	Ki-moon said the launch came despite the "united plea of the international community against such an act". He urged	North Korea	to halt its provocative actions and return to compliance with its international obligations. The Security Council scheduled an emergency meeting
36	793974	and Japan. At an emergency national security council meeting in Seoul, the country's president called the firing an "intolerable provocation".	North Korea	, which calls its launches part of a peaceful space programme, trumpeted the beauty of the launch's "fascinating vapour" as the
36	794125	seen as crucial steps toward the North's ultimate goal of a nuclear armed missile that could hit the US mainland.	North Korea	under leader Kim Jong Un has pledged to bolster its nuclear arsenal unless Washington scraps what Pyongyang calls a hostile
