Our correspondent Robin Brant says that there are reports that China has barred some North Korean ships from entering its ports. Reuters says one was not allowed to berth in a north-eastern port in China several days ago - two other freighters are reported to be sailing away from Chinese ports. Asked if China would implement a complete ban the foreign ministry said it would 'strictly implement' the UN resolutions which require inspections for banned goods.

There is a big row here in the UK between one of Britain's best selling newspapers and the Royal family. Queen Elizabeth's office has taken the unprecedented step of making a formal complaint about a story on the front page of the Sun newspaper, which claimed that Her Majesty was in favour of Britain leaving the European Union. Buckingham Palace insists the Queen is - and always has been - politically neutral. The Editor of The Sun on the other hand says they have proof. 

And, finally a dog that was caught in a house fire has survived his injuries against all odds - and landed himself a job as as a firefighter.
