G8 Ministers Condemn North Korea Nuclear Moves -- BBC
Foreign ministers from the G8 group of nations have condemned in the "strongest possible terms" North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programmes.
Tensions have risen on the Korean peninsula in recent weeks.
The ministers also expressed "deep concerns about the increasing human tragedy of the conflict in Syria".
