We start this morning in Washington...
Following reports that new movements have been detected at North Korea's key missile-launch site,... U.S. President Donald Trump says he wouldn't be pleased with the North Korean leader if the regime is indeed rebuilding the site.
Kim Hyo-sun has our top story.
President Trump has stressed he would be (quote) "very disappointed" if North Korea is reassembling parts of its Dongchang-ri missile site,... which was previously used to test engines for the regime's ICBMs.
Speaking at the White House on Wednesday,... Trump also cautioned it was a very early report.

"But I would be very, very disappointed in Chairman Kim and I don't think I will be but we'll see what happens, we'll take a look. It will ultimately get solved."

New satellite images revealed by U.S.-based North Korea-monitoring website, 38 North, suggest the regime began rebuilding the launch site just days after the Hanoi summit ended prematurely with no agreement.
While no movement was detected since August last year,... recent satellite imagery shows new work took place between February 16th and March 2nd.
Two cranes were added to the site while the rail-mounted transfer building has also been rebuilt with new walls and a roof.
Materials that had been seen stacked next to the building a few months ago also appear to have been removed.
Responding to the latest developments, the U.S. State Department says the North will stick to its denuclearization pledge,... as promised between the leaders of both sides.
