BBC: US 'ready to restart negotiations' with North Korea
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says he is ready to restart negotiations with Pyongyang, with the aim of denuclearising North Korea "by 2021".
Discussions between the two sides had stalled following a broad-strokes agreement made earlier this year.
But a meeting between North Korea's Kim Jong-un and the South Korean president seems to have reassured Washington.

Mr Kim also "agreed on a way to achieve denuclearisation" on the Korean peninsula following the summit with his South Korean counterpart, Moon Jae-in.
