[breaking news] North Korea launch the long-range missile

goes ahead with a rocket launch, but it remained uncertain what measures the Security Council would take.

With North Korea expected to test a long-range rocket within days or even hours, Clinton met fellow foreign ministers from the Group of Eight powers and said the communist state faced a "clear choice."

"It can pursue peace and reap the benefits of closer ties with the international community, including the United States, or it can continue to face pressure and isolation. If Pyongyang goes forward, we will all be back in the Security Council to take further action," Clinton told reporters.

Clinton said that such a path would be regrettable, noting that the United States had agreed just weeks earlier to deliver food aid to the impoverished state in return for its pledges to freeze its nuclear and missile programs.

"But in the current atmosphere, we would not be able to go forward with that, and other actions that other countries had been considering would also be on hold," Clinton said.
