US President Barack Obama has said the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria in an attack on Wednesday is a "big event of grave concern", at least 42 people have been killed and more than 400 others wounded in two huge explosions in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, health officials say. In the sixties and seventies, North Korea held thousands of people in brutal prison camps, subjecting them to torture and abuse on a scale to match any other detention camp in the world. Now, former inmates of those camps have been testifying before UN investigators this week in South Korea's capital, Seoul, with David Eades.
