   A North Korean diplomat warns that "strong steps" will follow if the UN takes action against the country after its launch of a satellite on Sunday.
   
   The UN Security Council has been debating whether North Korea should be punished for the launch.
   
   The US, Japan and key European powers say the launch was a ballistic test in clear violation of a UN resolution.
   
   China and Russia have been more cautious, saying they are yet to be convinced Pyongyang broke the rules.
   
   Pyongyang says the test of the three-stage Taepodong-2 rocket was a success, putting a satellite into orbit which is now transmitting data and revolutionary songs.
