After North Korean dictator Kim John Il had its first nuclear test, leaders of the most powerful countries in the world are doing anything they can to prevent him from entering the "Club of nuclear weapon powers".

The United States proposed stringent U.N. sanctions against North Korea, including a trade ban on military and luxury items, like food and toilet paper.

Illegal Immigrants
Thirty illegal immigrants were found in a vehicle that had been made up to look like a U.S. Border Patrol transport van, authorities said. Officials suspected immediately that the van was fake because it was a low rider and the speakers were blasting "La Cucaracha."
