The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has expelled BBC journalist Rupert Wingfield-Hayes who was covering the visit of three Nobel laureates to Pyongyang.

A spokesperson for the DPRK National Peace Committee said that Wingfield-Hayes had been disrespectful of local customs and attacked the country's system. The spokesman said Wingfield-Hayes has since made a written apology to the DPRK for his behavior. He will not be permitted to enter country for future reporting purposes.
