19:03 GMT The US plans to consult with allies, including Chin,a to develop a "measured and unified" response to the artillery exchange, the US state department says.

"Everybody involved is stunned by North Korea's provocative actions," Mark Toner, a state department spokesman, said.

"We are working again within an established framework with our partners so we have a deliberate approach to this.

The Munich Security Conference has grown over more than 40 years to become an important point in the calendar for those interested in such things.

It started with the idea of addressing the stand-off in Europe between the US and the West, and the powerful Soviet bloc.  Now, the changing global situations throws up many more issues, many more questions.

The most talked about topic here over the first two days has been Iran and the country's controversial nuclear programme.

In a late night session, Manouchehr Mottaki, the Iranian foreign minister, made his country's position clear: soon there will be a deal which will see his country send its enriched uranium abroad to be returned as "safer" fuel rods.  The most important word there is soon.

I might be wrong but I thought I detected a little flirting going on between U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her guest at the State Department on Thursday, the new German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.

Perhaps flirting is a bit strong but there was definitely a "chemistry" between them shall we say, as they addressed journalists in a packed suite on the upper floors of the U.S. State Department in the Washington district of Foggy Bottom.

In some ways I felt a bit sorry for the German delegation.

They were so obviously thrilled to be in DC but all the hacks wanted to ask about was what he thought about GM retaining Opel and what she thought about Mahmoud Abbas declining to stand for election as Palestinian President in January.

On the first point, Westerwelle repeated his stance that German tax payers must be paid back the money they've given to GM to bailout its Opel division.
