Yet negotiations won't work - leader Kim won't live up to his promises even if he were to make any. Those are the sentiments that have produced a collective shrug from many as they watch the North make rapid strides toward developing nuclear missiles capable of striking anywhere in the United States. Independent journalists were not given access to cover the event depicted in this image distributed by the North Korean government.

Draft resolution to United Nations also urges oil embargo and textile exports ban in response to Pyongyang's sixth nuclear test.
Many people are fascinated with Dennis Rodman's peculiar close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, and countless outlets have asked him about their friendship.
Rodman stated he's taken many people with him on his visits to North Korea, including basketball players from the USA, asserting, "You should have seen the American players".
The resolution would authorize countries "to interdict and inspect Committee-designated cargo vessels on the high seas" and bans exports of crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids.
The draft text comes two days after Nikki Haley, the USA ambassador to the United Nations, called for the "strongest possible measures" to be imposed on North Korea.

Kim would be added to a United Nations sanctions blacklist that would subject him to a global travel ban, along with four other senior North Korean officials, according to the draft. The sanctions would also include a global ban on the country's textile exports.
It would also prohibit North Korea from being part of any joint ventures or cooperative agreements.
When Morgan brought up Kim's frequent threats of annihilating the USA with nuclear weapons and called him a repressive dictator, Rodman chuckled, which somewhat riled Morgan, who then questioned why Rodman may not see Kim as a threat.
Some diplomats estimate that between 60,000 and 100,000 North Koreans work overseas.
The proposed resolution expresses the Security Council's "determination to take further significant measures" in the event of a new nuclear test or ballistic missile launch.
