North Korea continuing nuclear programme - UN report
North Korea has not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating UN sanctions, a report commissioned by the UN Security Council says. It also says Pyongyang has resorted to a "massive increase" of illegal ship-to-ship transfers of oil products and has been trying to sell weapons abroad.
The confidential report by a panel of independent experts was submitted to the UN Security Council on Friday. North Korea has so far not commented on the document's findings.
Last week, US officials said Pyongyang appeared to be building new ballistic missiles despite recent warming ties with US President Donald Trump's administration and pledges to denuclearise. Unnamed US officials told the Washington Post that spy satellites had spotted continuing activity at a site that has produced ballistic missiles.

WaPo is blatantly anti Trump. Every since he threatened to yank their press credentials during the election they run daily headlines against him. Plus Amazon owns them so its a mouthpiece for Bezos at this point.

The media organization isn't crucial. In this case it happens to be the washington post, could be fox news, or whoever next. Is there reason for me to take this type of "evidence" seriously? Whats the overall track record? If this could be broken down by organization that would be great though.
