The US special envoy for North Korea says Pyongyang has committed to dismantling and destroying all of its uranium and plutonium enrichment facilities, but it was dependent on corresponding measures from the United States. A Kurdish-Iranian asylum seeker who wrote an entire book by text message from an Australian off-shore detention centre has won two of Australia's top literary prizes. A search is underway for the killers of as many as ten children in Tanzania. According to government sources, their deaths are believed to be connected to the practice of witchcraft.
