BBC World Service - Newshour, Putin in North Korea for talks with Kim

Russia and North Korea sign a strategic partnership treaty

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un have signed a strategic partnership treaty during the Russian leader's first visit to North Korea in more than two decades.

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un have hailed closer relations between Russia and North Korea on a day of choreographed events in Pyongyang.  The two leaders stood beneath huge portraits of themselves as they watched a military parade. Mr Kim said he unconditionally supported Russia's military action in Ukraine. 

Also in the programme: The displaced Gazan families forced to live next to vast rubbish dumps; deadly heat at the Hajj; a presidential debate in Iran; and the world's smelliest plant!
