Koreas Clash: Seoul a City on the Edge

(CBS) On Wednesday the Obama administration called the North's artillery attack a "premeditated" violation of the longstanding truce.

CBS News correspondent Celia Hatton reports images of emotional memorials, exhausted evacuees and mangled buildings gripped South Korea Wednesday. The country is on high alert following Tuesday's artillery battle between North and South Korea that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians on the island Yeonpyeong.

--Phnom Penh stampede 2010--










Updated November 23, 2010 22:20:46

Buddhist monks have gathered in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh to express condolence to the families of at least 378 people who were killed on Monday evening in a stampede. Cambodia's prime minister, Hun Sen, has called the incident the nation's most tragic event since the end of the Khmer Rouge regime. The government has ordered an investigation but already several different explanations have emerged. Some survivors say police made the situation worse by spraying water over people who had collapsed on a bridge, not realising that they had suffered electric shocks.

In the 1990 general election, Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won 59% of the national votes and 80% (392 of 492) of the seats in Parliament. She had, however, already been detained under house arrest before the elections.

Aung San Suu Kyi was the recipient of the Rafto Prize and the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 1990 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. In 1992 she was awarded the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding by the Government of India. Aung San Suu Kyi is the third child and only daughter of Aung San, considered to be the father of modern-day Burma.
