 South Korea’s defence minister has resigned in the wake of North Korea’s attack. He’s come under a barrage 1 of criticism for being too weak in his response to the shelling of a South Korean island. And Australia’s Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd is urging China to get involved.

The man dubbed 5 the “honeymoon 6 killer” has arrived in Los Angeles. Gabe Watson was deported 7 yesterday after a guarantee he wouldn’t face the death penalty if he was retried. He spent 18 months in a Queensland jail for the manslaughter of his wife during their honeymoon seven years ago.
 
Australia has sent specialist equipment and teams to New Zealand to help recover the bodies of the 29 men from the Pike River coal mine. Sixteen members from Queensland’s mines rescue service are bringing machines to put out any fires in the mine and get rid of any explosive gases.
