UN Security Council Unanimously Votes To Impose Sanctions On North Korea

BBC World Service - Newshour, UN Security Council Unanimously Votes To Impose Sanctions On North Korea

The British UN ambassador on why North Korea's recent missile tests went too far.

The UN Security Council has voted unanimously to impose tougher sanctions on North Korea, following the regime's recent missile tests. Why did both Russia and China vote alongside the rest of the security council? We speak to the current British ambassador to the UN. 

Also on the programme in Venezuela, the first act of the newly elected constituent assembly is to fire the country's attorney general. And Usain Bolt's final solo race.
