BBC World Service - Business Matters, North Korea 'To Halt Missile And Nuclear Tests'

North Korea says it will suspend nuclear and missile tests, shut down a nuclear test site

North Korea will suspend nuclear and missile tests immediately and get rid of a nuclear test site.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says he has suspended all missile tests and will shut down a nuclear test site. Christopher Hill, former US Assistant Secretary of State, and ambassador to South Korea, gives us his take. US bank Wells Fargo has been fined a billion dollars for charging its customers for services it didn't provide. We get analysis from Chris Low of FTN Financial in New York. Russia's telecoms regulator has blocked access to encrypted messaging app Telegram after it refused to give it access to private conversations and messages. We get the latest from  Lily Hay Newman, security staff writer with Wired. 

All this and more discussed with our guest through out the show:  Peter Ryan, business correspondent with ABC news Australia, in Sydney.
