From the transcript
It was the 9th of October, 2006, when the club of nuclear arms states received its newest member. That morning, North Korea detonated a primitive device in its hinterland, a signal to the world that Pyongyang finally had the bomb. Since that day, almost 20 years ago, no other nation on Earth has crossed the nuclear threshold.
Remarkably, the group of states in possession of nukes remains steady at nine. The US, Russia, the UK, France, China, India, Israel, Pakistan, and North Korea. Yet that doesn't mean things will always stay this way.
In fact, there are already signs that membership of this exclusive club may soon increase to ten or more. That other nation's want-to-bomb shouldn't be surprising.
