In North Korea, state media is claiming some five million people have turned out to mourn the death of leader Kim Jong-il. The figure amounts to more than one-fifth of North Korea’s population. Kim Jong-il’s son and presumed successor, Kim Jong-un, has led the funeral proceedings for his father. Reuters reports that a well-placed “source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing” expects North Korea to come under the collective leadership of Jong-un, an uncle, and top military officials.
