Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

IAEA: North Korea Shut Down Nuclear Reactor

HeadlineJul 16, 2007

In news from North Korea, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency have confirmed Pyongyang has shut down its nuclear reactor.

Mohamed ElBaradei of the IAEA: “Yes, the reactor has been shut down. We verified the shutdown of the reactor. We are going through verifying the shutdown of the other facilities, and by tomorrow or after tomorrow we will be able to report hopefully that all the five facilities have been shut down.”

North Korea closed the reactor as part of an oil-for-disarmament deal.
