North Korea rebuilding Sohae rocket launch site, say observers

BBC World Service - World Update, North Korea rebuilding Sohae rocket launch site, say observers

North Korea said to be rebuilding Sohae rocket launch site

New satellite images of North Korea suggest it is restoring a rocket launch site it had pledged to dismantle, say analysts. Work to dismantle it began last year but stopped as the US talks stalled.

Also on the programme, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela calls the opposition a crazed minority; and are we approaching the end of sharp suits and heels in the business sector?
