  North Korea Is Starving for Reform
North Korea, detailing its food shortage for the first time, has announced that it is short 2.3 million tons of grains needed to feed its people this year.

 CNEWS - World: Japan, South Korean and U.S. diplomats discuss North's nuclear program
TOKYO (AP) -- Diplomats from Japan, South Korea and the United States on Friday confirmed their commitment to cooperate in six-nation talks aimed at convincing North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons program, agreeing that the next round of talks must be held later this month as scheduled, officials said.

The meeting comes a day after South Korea said it extracted a tiny amount of plutonium in a nuclear experiment in 1982, a revelation that followed an acknowledgment last week that it enriched a small amount of uranium in 2000.
