| N.Korea executes defence chief with an anti-aircraft gun - S.Korea agency |
|
 By Ju-min Park and James Pearson SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea has executed its defence chief on treason charges by putting him in front of an anti-aircraft gun at a firing range, Seoul's National Intelligence Service (NIS) told lawmakers. Hyon Yong Chol, 66, who headed the isolated country's military, was purged late last month for disobeying Kim Jong Un and falling asleep during a meeting at which North Korea's young leader was present, according to South Korean lawmakers briefed in a closed-door meeting with the spy agency on Wednesday. It was not clear how the NIS received the information and it is not possible to independently verify such reports from within secretive North Korea. Hyon was believed to have voiced complaints against Kim Jong Un and had not followed his orders several times, according to the lawmakers.

Charities will be subject to greater scrutiny to stop funds being diverted to militant organisations, and the broadcast regulator will be given new powers to act against channels showing extremist content. Cameron, who won a surprise majority in national elections last week, is expected to tell a meeting of his top security advisers that new laws will be fast-tracked through parliament in the first year of his government.
