Internal refugees in Bangui; North Korea's party congress;Poland court ruling on Polanski

Parliamentary and presidential elections are due to be held on December 13, in the Central African Republic. But many internal refugees, displaced by violence between rival militias, say they don't feel safe in the capital Bangui.

North Korea says it will convene its seventh communist party congress, next May. The last such meeting was held in 1980 under North Korea's founding leader, Mr Kim's grandfather, Kim Il-sung.

A court in Poland is expected to give its ruling later today on whether the film director, Roman Polanski, should be extradited to the United States. He fled America in 1978, hours before he was due to be sentenced for having sex with a thirteen-year-old girl.
