North Korea nuclear: White House calls Senate to briefing In an unusual move, the entire US Senate is being called to the White House for a briefing on North Korea. Washington has become increasingly concerned at North Korean missile and nuclear tests and threats to its neighbours and the US. The briefing, involving 100 senators as well as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Defence Secretary James Mattis, is being held on Wednesday. China, North Korea's main ally, has called for restraint from all sides. China's call came in a phone conversation between President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump on Sunday. Mr Xi urged all parties to "maintain restraint and avoid actions that would increase tensions", according to the Chinese foreign ministry. Why Beijing should lead on North Korean crisis For his part, Mr Trump said North Korea's "continued belligerence" was destabilising the Korean peninsula. White House officials regularly go to Congress to brief on national security matters, but it is unusual for the whole Senate to go to the White House. Alongside Mr Tillerson and Gen Mattis will be National Intelligence Director Dan Coats and Gen Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Questioned by reporters at his regular briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer referred further inquiries to the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell. Aides, quoted by Reuters, say the House of Representatives is seeking a similar briefing on North Korea. Washington says a flotilla, led by the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, is expected to arrive off the peninsula within days, despite conflicting messages last week on its exact whereabouts. Mr Trump has also told United Nations Security Council ambassadors, meeting at the White House, that the UN must be ready to impose new sanctions on North Korea. The US is pursuing a multi-pronged strategy to make its point on North Korea, the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue in Washington says. First it wants the UN to tighten sanctions even further, and to ensure those in place are properly enforced. Secondly, it is attempting to put fresh pressure on China to rein in its communist neighbour. The third aspect is the sending of an aircraft carrier to the Korean peninsula - making clear military action is an option. North Korean rhetoric North Korean state media said on Sunday the country's forces were "combat-ready to sink" the Carl Vinson. The ruling Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun called the carrier a "gross animal". North Korea has promised to press ahead with missile tests despite Mr Trump's warnings and experts say it may be preparing for another nuclear test, in defiance of UN resolutions. However, a North Korean ballistic missile test on 16 April failed within seconds of launch, US experts said. Washington is concerned that Pyongyang may develop the ability to place a nuclear bomb on a missile capable of reaching the US. Beijing is worried about the possibility of all-out conflict on the peninsula, which could lead to the collapse of the North Korean regime under its mercurial leader Kim Jong-un. China fears this could cause a sizeable refugee problem and lead to an American presence up to the Chinese border.

'उत्तर कोरियाली संकटका कारण युद्ध हुनसक्ने' अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु र क्षेप्यास्त्र कार्यक्रमका कारण एउटा ठूलो द्वन्द्व निम्तनसक्ने चेतावनी पुन: दिएका छन्। उनले कूटनीतिक माध्यमबाट उत्तर कोरियासँगको विवादको हल गर्न चाहेको तर त्यसरी समाधान खोज्नु एकदमै कठीन भएको बताए। यसअघि अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री रेक्स टिलरसनले अर्को परमाणु क्षेप्यास्त्र परीक्षण गरे उत्तर कोरियाविरुद्ध प्रतिबन्ध लगाउने चेतावनी चीनले दिएको बताएका थिए। उता उत्तर कोरियाले अमेरिकामाथिको हमलाको परिकल्पना गर्दै एउटा प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। खतरा राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको परमाणु कार्यक्रम आफ्ना लागि सबैभन्दा ठूलो विश्वव्यापी चिन्ता भएको बताए। उनले कुटनीतिक रुपमा समाधान खोज्ने प्रयास गरिरहेको र चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि दबाब बढाइरहेको उल्लेख गरे। उत्तर कोरियामाथि थप प्रतिबन्ध लगाइने चिनियाँ राष्ट्रपति सि जिनपिङलाई एक जना असल व्यक्तिको रुपमा संज्ञा दिदैँ उनले आफ्नो अट्टेरी छिमेकी विरुद्ध दबाब बढाउन प्रयासहरु गरिरहेको उल्लेख गरे। अमेरिकाले चीनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि कडा प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाएर उसलाई वार्तामा आउन दबाब देओस् भन्ने चाहेको छ। त्यसबाहेक सैन्य समाधानको विकल्पबारे पनि विचार भइरहेको विवरणहरु आएका छन्। अमेरिका विरुद्ध आक्रमण गर्ने चेतावनी यसअघि फक्स न्युजसँगको कुराकानीमा अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्री टिलरसनले चीनले आफ्नो छिमेकी उत्तर कोरियालाई अहिलेसम्मकै कडा चेतावनी दिएको खुलासा गरेका थिए। टक्कर उनका अनुसार चीनले किम जोङ उनलाई उनले थप परमाणु परीक्षण गराए बेइजिङ्ले आफैँ प्रतिबन्धहरु लगाउने तयारी गर्ने जानकारी दिएको छ। उत्तर कोरियाको झण्डै ८५ प्रतिशत व्यापार चीनसँग निर्भर छ। अमेरिकी विदेशमन्त्रीले उत्तर कोरियाका युवा नेताले आफूले तर्कसंङ्गत निर्णय लिने क्षमता देखाएको भएपनि अमेरिकी गुप्तचर निकायहरुले संकलन गरेका विवरणले उनी क्रुर भएपनि मूर्ख नभएको पाइएको उल्लेख गरे। तर राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले किम जङ उनको क्षमताबारे आफ्नो कुनै धारणा नभएको प्रतिक्रिया दिएका छन्। उता बढ्दो कूटनीतिक दवावका माझ उत्तर कोरियाले एउटा 'प्रोपोगान्डा भिडियो' बनाएको छ जसमा अमेरिकामाथि हमला गरेको अवस्थाको परिकल्पना गरिएको छ। सो भिडियोमा उत्तर कोरियाली क्षेप्यास्त्रले वासिङ्टन डिसीस्थित क्यापिटोल हिल र ह्वाइट हाउस साथै अमेरिकी विमानहरु बस्ने नौ सेनाको पानीजहाजलाई निशाना बनाएको देखाइएको छ।
