7.15am: Here's a catch-up on the current batch of leaked US diplomatic cables:
Latest revelations
• China is ready to accept a reunified Korea and regards North Korea as a spoiled child. South Korea's vice-foreign minister said he was told by two named senior Chinese officials that they believed Korea should be reunified under Seoul's control, and that this view was gaining ground with the leadership in Beijing.
• Washington devours hearsay about Kim Jong-il's health, state of mind and succession plans. The "Dear Leader" variously emerges as "a flabby old chap", "quite a good drinker" and "increasingly indecisive since his stroke and other health problems".
• The world according to Prince Andrew: corrupt French, nosy journalists, idiotic bribery investigations. Secret cables from a US ambassador exposes the Duke of York's "astonishingly candid" approach as a UK trade envoy.
• Hillary Clinton asked if Argentina's president Cristina Kirchner was on medication to help her calm down. The US regards Kirchner as volatile, and suffering from "nerves and anxiety", the cables show.
