Speaking in Prague, President Obama on Sunday "launched an effort to rid the world of nuclear weapons, calling them 'the most dangerous legacy of the Cold War' and saying the U.S. has a moral responsibility to lead as the only nation to ever use one," the AP reports.

"In a speech driven with fresh urgency by North Korea's rocket launch just hours early, Obama said the U.S. would 'immediately and aggressively' seek ratification of a comprehensive ban on testing nuclear weapons. He said the U.S. would host a summit within the next year on reducing and eventually eliminating nuclear weapons, and he called for a global effort to secure nuclear material."

The BBC estimated the crowd for Obama's speech at more than 20,000.
