http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Wor...g_And_Euna_LeeNorth Korea has released two US journalists sentenced to 12 years hard labour following a surprise visit by Bill Clinton.
It came after the former US President met Laura Ling and Euna Lee in what was described as a "very emotional" meeting.
Pentagon sources say the pair - arrested while reporting on refugees fleeing the impoverished North - are flying back on his private plane.
During his visit, Mr Clinton met North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, who agreed to grant them a "special pardon".
According to North Korean media, the U-turn came after Mr Clinton "expressed words of sincere apology" for their behaviour.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency said Mr Clinton had "courteously" passed a verbal message to Jong Il from President Obama.
See all he wants is someone to sit down and have a cup of tea with him.
