Rockets exploded above North Korea Sunday, this time in celebration, as a glittering fireworks display lit up the night sky of Pyongyang. The pyrotechnics show was part of the climax to days of special events intended to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, officially revered in North Korea as its founding leader. On Sunday night, sound and light erupted above the Taedong River, which runs through the centre of capital Pyongyang. The main backdrop to the show was a monument called "The Tower of the Juche Idea." Juche is an ideology which North Korean authorities say was developed by Kim Il Sung. It is often translated into English as "self reliance." Earlier Sunday, North Korea's new leader Kim Jong Un made his first known televised public speech - a major departure from the style of his father and predecessor as leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Il. A massive military parade through central Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square followed Kim's speech. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com
North Korea's new leader has delivered his first major public speech on the occasion of the centenary of its founder's birth, calling for a push to "final victory" at a mass military parade in the country's capital. Kim Jong-un, the third Kim to rule North Korea, read monotonously from a script in Pyongyang's central square on Sunday after marching soldiers and sailors demonstrated the North's military power. In a move that indicated Kim would stick to the "military-first" policies that have put North Korea on the verge of nuclear weapons capacity, he lauded his grandfather, Kim Il-sung, and his father, Kim Jong-il, as the "founder and the builder of our revolutionary armed forces". Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett reports from Seoul, South Korea's capital.

North Korean Rocket FAILS shortly after launch A North-Korean carrier rocket took off at 7:39 am local time on Wednesday. However, the launch has been confirmed to have failed. The North American Aerospace Defend Command (NORAD) says the first stage of the rocket fell into the sea, while the other two stages failed. And a North Korean news agency has acknowledged that the country's satellite failed to enter orbit, and that scientists and technicians are searching for the cause of failure. Earlier the country's space agency said it had no information on the launch, according to South Korean media. The South Korean army said the rocket debris crashed some 200 kilometers (125 miles) off the western coast of South Korea, Reuters reports. Japanese Defense Minister Naiki Tanaka said the rocket appears to have flown for one minute before collapsing into the Yellow Sea.

[video surce : CNN] North Korea's long-range missile launch... and the result? North Korean finally launched the long-range missile. As everybody expected, the result was a failure. The entire world urged North Korea to stop the launch, Like the US, Russia, Japan, and many other nations Didn't feel so positive about the launch Even China did not send observers for this launch And kept insisting that North Korea wouldn't fire the missiles. North Korea's Kim Jong-Un kept his irresponsible behavior And this will lead to further isolation of North Korea from the international community. Kim Jong-Un has been trying to cover up the fact that half the population is malnourished With this missile launch as an PR move to show that North Korea is a well-developed nation... Well, what can they do now? They have announced their failure as a regime through this missile launch failure to their own people and Even more so to the international community. So why didn't they just listen in the first place?
North Korea is readying itself for a long-range rocket launch, amid international concerns that the satellite launch is a cover for developing missile technology. Meanwhile the US has warned that any launch would be a "clear violation" of UN resolutions. The BBC's Damian Grammaticas is the only British broadcaster in North Korea, and as he reports from Pyongyang, the authorities are keen to project another image of the country.
LATEST: North Korea rocket launch fails - read more - on.rt.com A South Korean news agency reports the North is preparing a new underground nuclear test. It will allegedly follow the long-range missile test planned for later this week. In a rare move, foreign reporters were allowed to see first hand the fully-prepared rocket at the launch site. The North's aim is to put a communications satellite into orbit, but the US and South Korea say it might be a covert ballistic missile test. And Japan is prepared to shoot the rocket down if it goes over its territory. For analysis, RT talks to Doctor Tim Beal, a researcher and Asia specialist from New Zealand.

The recurrence of a seemingly giant North Korean soldier in pictures from Kim Jong-il's funeral procession in Pyongyang has led speculation over the mystery figure to 7' 8" basketball star Ri Myung Hun. The towering figure looms over his fellow soldiers at the funeral in Korean capital Pyongyang, standing out from the thousands of other representatives of the North Korean army. The curious images were taken by the Korean Central News Agency and appear to show an unknown giant among the ranks. The disappearance of an entire television crew in certain photographs from the late North Korean leader's memorial service led international news agency Reuters to claim the set of images had been digitally altered, but the recurrence of the 'giant' soldier in more than one picture, and viewed from all angles, suggest he is person not pixels. Speculation over the identity of the soldier was quick to spread across the internet, with the most likely suspect being Korean basketball star Ri Myung Hun Standing at 7' 8" Myung Hun once attempted to play in the NBA but decided to remain in North Korea. He has previously held the record of world's tallest man. The death of Kim Jong-il has marked the succession of his son Kim Jon-un as the country's leader. Hopes that this would bring about a more progressive North Korea have been dashed however after a statement from the government warned that the nation would not be changing under new rule. North Korea's national defence agency said: 'We ...

Foreign Secretary William Hague says he hopes the death of Kim Jong-il can provide an opportunity for change on the Korean Peninsula. Report by Adam Sich. Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com and follow us on Twitter at twitter.com
www.nma.tv North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is dead. State media reported the Dear Leader died on Saturday due to "great mental and physical strain" while on a "high-intensity field inspection." News of Kim Jong-il's death prompted a great outpouring of public grief, though North Koreans could hardly be expected to display any other kind of emotion in the tightly managed Stalinist state. Kim's son, the 20-something Kim Jong-un aka the Bright Leader, is the heir apparent. But the younger Kim is not secure in his power and the elder Kim's death could result in a dangerous power vacuum in what is arguably the world's most dangerous flashpoint and potentially embroil China and the US in a military confrontation in the Korean Peninsula.
