THE WORLD WOKE up yesterday morning to the rather alarming news that North Korea had claimed to have detonated a hydrogen bomb.

This was seen as a significant upscaling of the country’s nuclear programme, with the UN Security Council immediately moving to take as-of-yet unspecified action against the country.

With the North Korea’s secretive regime, it is hard to tell how much of a threat it actually poses.

So this morning we want to know, are you worried about North Korea?

Poll Results:

No, I am not worried (8955)

Yes, I am worried (3032)

Not sure (1149)
