US move to restart N Korea talks

A top US envoy has arrived in the Chinese capital, Beijing, to discuss reviving stalled negotiations on North Korea's nuclear programme.
US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill has accused Pyongyang of boycotting multilateral talks on its nuclear ambitions.

He said he was unsure of reports that North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was planning a simultaneous visit to China.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency quotes an anonymous official as saying China had decided to invite Mr Kim amid speculation North Korea may be planning an underground nuclear test.
