BBC World News said:The UN Security Council is due to hold an emergency session on a controversial rocket launch by North Korea.
The US and EU said the launch demanded a strong response from the Security Council, but China and Russia have called for restraint.
North Korea said the rocket put a satellite into orbit but the US and South Korea disputed this, saying it was a cover for a missile test.
They said the launch failed, with parts of the rocket landing in the Pacific.

Hopefully whatever the outcome, North Korea will be crushed economically, even more so than now.
