N Korea threatens 'strong steps'


A North Korean diplomat warns "strong steps" would follow, should the UN take action against the country after its launch of a satellite on Sunday.

The UN Security Council has been debating whether North Korea should be punished for the launch.

The US, Japan and key European powers say the launch was a ballistic test in clear violation of a UN resolution.

China and Russia have been more cautious, saying they are yet to be convinced Pyongyang broke the rules.

Pyongyang says the test of the three-stage Taepodong-2 rocket was a success, putting a satellite into orbit which is now transmitting data and revolutionary songs.
