The BBC says:
North Korea has agreed to give up all nuclear activities and rejoin the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, in a move diplomats called a breakthrough.
In return, the US said it had no intention of attacking the North, which was also promised aid and electricity.
The agreement came during a fourth round of six-nation talks in Beijing, aimed at ending a three-year standoff over North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
But correspondents warned that some key issues had not yet been resolved.
Unfortunately nothing North Korea or the US says can be believed, so time will tell whether this really is a break through, but hopefully this is a step forward.
