China, Japan and South Korea have also emphasised the need for continued dialogue over the nuclear threat from North Korea. Ivory Coast has issued a warrant for the arrest of the presidential candidate Guillaume Soro, a one-time rebel leader and former speaker of the country’s parliament. And we hear from the young North Korean defector Jun Heo about his escape to South Korea and how he became the first from the North to be accepted into a programme studying political science at Seoul National University.
