UN Security Council in emergency session after North Korea's missile launch

The UN Security Council was called into emergency session today after North Korea conducted its longest-ever test flight of a ballistic missile, to discuss what to do now that Kim Jong Un has ignored its latest round of sanctions.

France's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the country is ready to work on tougher UN and EU measures "to convince the regime in Pyongyang that there is no interest in an escalation, and to bring it to the negotiating table".
