U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill speaks to reporters at Beijing airport after arriving from Seoul Friday April 13, 2007. Hill arrived for consultations with Chinese officials over the North Korean nuclear issue. North Korea said Friday it was still confirming the release of frozen funds that had been its key condition for dismantling its nuclear programs, making it unlikely it would meet a weekend deadline for shutting down its bomb-making reactor. (AP Photo/Greg Baker)AP - North Korea missed a Saturday deadline for shutting down its main nuclear reactor, and a key U.S. negotiator said the country must keep the disarmament program from foundering.
