US wants 'unprecedented' sanctions on NKorea

US Ambassador Samantha Power says a new UN resolution targeting North Korea over its rocket launch and recent nuclear test must be adopted very quickly and include "unprecedented measures" that its leader, Kim Jong Un, doesn't expect.

 

But China's UN Ambassador Liu Jieyi says a new resolution should "do the work of reducing tension, of working towards denuclearization, of maintaining peace and stability, and of encouraging a negotiated solution." Both ambassadors spoke after Sunday's emergency meeting of the UN Security Council. All 15 council members approved a statement condemning the launch and pledging to "expeditiously" adopt a new resolution with "significant" new sanctions.
