North Korea has fired a ballistic missile in the first such test since Donald Trump took office as US president. Mr Trump assured Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that "America stands behind Japan, its great ally, 100%". Mr Abe said the test was "absolutely intolerable". We'll talk about reactions in Tokyo, Seoul and Washington.
