North Korean Flag Scandal

Although the Olympic opening ceremony doesn't take place until Friday (27/7/12) the games actually began today (25/7/12) with the first women's football matches being played. There was drama at the fixture between North Korea V Columbia match when the South Korean flag was displayed before kick-off prompting the North Korean team to walk off the pitch.

This was clearly no mistake and seems to be a deliberate attempt by the hosts to provoke a reaction from the North Korean delegation. That's because there's been lots of interesting developments in North Korean recently with senior generals retiring on health grounds, threats to expand the nuclear weapons and today's announcement that Kim Jong-Un has got married. So Britain's rather keen to know what's going on.
