A teenager who was filmed throwing pieces of concrete and fence panels at police officers during a riot outside a hotel housing asylum seekers has been sentenced.

So far the BBC has yet to see any sign of such a large unit being formed in Russia's Far East, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed reports of North Korean involvement."This is not only British intelligence, it is also American intelligence. They report it all the time, they don't provide any evidence," he said.

There is no doubt Moscow and Pyongyang have deepened their levels of cooperation in recent months. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent Vladimir Putin a birthday message only last week calling him his "closest comrade".Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has spoken of North Korea joining the war, and South Korea’s defence minister said this month that the chance of a North Korean deployment in Ukraine was “highly likely”.The biggest question mark is over the numbers involved.

A military source in Russia’s Far East confirmed to BBC Russian that “a number of North Koreans have arrived” and were stationed in one of the military bases near Ussuriysk, to the north of Vladivostok. But the source refused to give a precise number, other than that they were “absolutely nowhere near 3,000”.Military experts have told us they doubt Russian army units can successfully incorporate North Korean soldiers in their thousands.

“It wasn’t even that easy to include hundreds of Russian prisoners at first – and all those guys spoke Russian,” one analyst - who is in Russia so didn't want to be named - told the BBC.

Even if they did number 3,000, it would not be big in a battlefield sense, but the US is as concerned as Ukraine.He faced his third first minister’s questions in the Senedd having to defend himself over receiving £200,000 from a firm owned by a man previously convicted of environmental offences.

Welsh Conservative Senedd leader Andrew RT Davies said the “average punter in the street" had "serious questions”.But Mr Gething said the public would not “rally to the Tories' banner” over political funding.

The news came as former first minister Carwyn Jones confirmed that a review of future Welsh Labour leadership contest rules would look at a cap on donations.Mr Jones told BBC Wales that limiting donations was "clearly an issue".
