US diplomat: Diplomacy needed for North Korea
Former US ambassador to China backs diplomatic solutions to US-North Korea relations
The US military has started installing a controversial missile defence system at a site in South Korea, amid high tensions over neighbouring North Korea's nuclear and missile ambitions.
Max Baucus, former US ambassador to China under Barack Obama, warns of "cataclysmic disastrous consequences" if the US uses missiles against North Korea.
He suggests, "We have to start thinking about diplomacy more seriously than we have done in the past."
