US threats over North Korea deepen at UN

The United States says it is prepared to use military means to counter the threat of a North Korean missile attack. The US ambassador to the United Nations has told an urgent UN Security Council meeting it will push a new resolution soon to respond to the threat. The United States has also threatened countries that do business with North Korea in what appears to be a veiled criticism of China.
