Almost all the world’s nuclear warheads – roughly 93% - are owned by the US and Russia. They each have around 4,000 in their military stockpiles, according to the Federation of American Scientists. It estimates France has around 300 warheads, followed by China with 270. The UK has 215 and North Korea? FAS says it might have produced 20 warheads. We don't know for sure, which is one of the problems.
North Korea started a nuclear programme in the 1950s with Soviet support. It then started working on missiles in earnest in the 1970s. In 2003 it pulls out of the non-proliferation treaty and three years later claims its first successful test of a nuclear weapon. In 2016, Pyongyang said it had produced a hydrogen bomb and to have made warheads small enough to fit on a rocket.

Donald Trump has now officially set foot on Sentosa island.
"Others are more sceptical of the whole process," our correspondent Rupert Wingfield-Hayes says. "They say there hasn't been enough time, and there is concern that Kim Jong-un has turned up only to get the international spotlight and the photo op but is not prepared to give anything away."
"When news came out that Mr Kim would leave by 2pm, everyone was surprised," says the BBC's Rupert Wingfield-Hayes.
"The expectation was that this would be longer, maybe even a two-day meeting. Some say this is a new relationship and that even a short meeting offers an opportunity - Mr Trump can talk directly to Kim Jong-un who is the only one who has the authority to make any decisions in North Korea."
