North Korea sends 'special envoy' to critical ally China
Boris Johnson has hit out at US presidential candidate Mitt Romney for comments suggesting Britain is not ready to stage the Olympic Games.
Johnson fired up a large crowd in Hyde Park, saying: "There's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready. Are we ready?"
Earlier, Romney backtracked after meeting UK PM David Cameron and predicted a "very successful" Olympics.
Romney's remarks came on the first official day of a week-long tour that is to include stops in Israel and Poland.
