Cameron uses his veto. Brits mostly shrug with an indifference bred over many generations of stiff upper-lips, war, and hatred of the French.

Kim Jong-un is now 'supreme commander'of North Korea's armed forces. We hope he's not too wonewey in his new position at the top...
Scientists just can't leave things alone
And finally, just to cheer you up, some Dutch scientists have managed to turn already nasty bird flu into super-deadly terrorist bird flu...and want to tell everyone how they did it. Well done.
