China has confirmed that North Korea's leader held talks with President Xi in Beijing

China has confirmed that North Korea's leader held talks with President Xi in Beijing.

China says that the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has committed to denuclearisation on the Korean Peninsula -- a pledge made in Beijing during meetings with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping.

Also in the programme: France is holding a national memorial service for the policeman who sacrificed himself to save a hostage during last week's Islamist attack and; we'll hear from the central American state of Costa Rica ahead of hard-fought Presidential elections next Sunday.
