Images of North Korea's new leader, Kim Jong-un, driving military tanks, in the cockpit of a war plane and riding a white horse have been broadcast across state television.
During the footage, Jong-un claims to have overseen the test launch of the state's long-range rocket. He is quoted as saying, “I had determined to enter a war if the enemies dared to intercept [the rocket]."
Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
