South Korea's intelligence agency has said rumours about Kim Jong-un's health were groundless, and there are no signs he had heart surgery. The North Korean leader recently went 20 days without appearing in public, and missed the celebration of his grandfather's birthday - one of the biggest events of the year. Some media reports claimed he was "gravely ill", or even dead. But he then appeared at a fertiliser factory - apparently in good health. What did South Korean intelligence say? The head of South Korea's intelligence agency, Suh Hoon, spoke to a parliamentary committee on Wednesday. He said there were no signs that rumours about Kim Jong-un's health were true, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. The committee heard the North Korean leader had appeared in public 17 times this year. By this time of year, he would normally have appeared 50 times. But that could have been down to a Covid-19 outbreak, said one member of the committee - even though North Korea officially has no cases. "It cannot be ruled out that there is an outbreak in North Korea," the lawmaker Kim Byung-kee said. "Kim Jong-un had focused on consolidating internal affairs such as military forces and party-state meetings, and coronavirus concerns have further limited his public activity." What were the rumours? After missing the birthday celebrations on 15 April, rumours about Mr Kim's health began. Six days later, an anonymous source told the Daily NK - a website run by defectors from the North - that Mr Kim had worsening cardiovascular problems. The rumours were then repeated by international media, with some outlets claiming he was in a critical condition, and others even saying he was dead. At the time, the South Korean government, and sources at Chinese intelligence - speaking to the Reuters news agency - said this was not true. But the reports gained traction in the US when several media outlets quoted "unnamed US officials" as giving them some support. Two defectors now members of the South's parliament, Thae Yong-ho and Ji Seong-ho, also backed reports of Mr Kim's illness. Mr Thae has apologised, saying: "I am aware that one of the reasons why many of you voted for me as a lawmaker is with the expectations of an accurate analysis and projections on North Korean issues. I feel the blame and heavy responsibility." Had he gone missing before? In 2014, Kim Jong-un disappeared from public view for 40 days - sparking a torrent of speculation - before reappearing, pictured with a cane. State media admitted he was suffering from an "uncomfortable physical condition", but did not address rumours that he was suffering from gout.

A Chinese journalist who was chased and then detained in Wuhan - the centre of the country's virus outbreak - has reappeared after almost two months. Li Zehua broadcast the chase and his detention by police on 26 February, and had not been seen publicly since. On Wednesday he published a video saying he spent two weeks in "quarantine" in Wuhan, followed by more quarantine in his home town. He was told the quarantine was needed as he'd been to "sensitive areas". Li Zehua is a citizen journalist who went to Wuhan in February, after another journalist, Chen Qiushi, went missing. In his first video from Wuhan he explained why we was there. "Before I entered Wuhan, a friend who worked in the Chinese mainstream media told me... all the bad news about the epidemic has been collected by the central government. "The local media can only report the good news about the patients' recovery and so on. Of course, it remains uncertain whether that's true, because this is just what I heard from my friends." His stories included an alleged cover-up of infections, and a busy crematorium. They were watched millions of times on Chinese platforms, YouTube, and Twitter. In the new video, Li Zehua, who is thought to be 25, said he was driving in Wuhan when people in another car told him to stop. Instead of stopping, he sped up, saying he was "confused" and in "fear". He was chased and drove for 30km [19 miles], with part of the journey uploaded to YouTube with the title "SOS". He arrived at his accommodation and began live-streaming before "several" people in police or security uniforms knocked on a near-by door. Why have two reporters in Wuhan disappeared? He turned off the light and sat silently while the officers knocked on other doors, and eventually his. He ignored them but three hours later they knocked again. He opened the door and was taken to a police station, where he had fingerprints and blood samples taken, before being taken to an "interrogation room". He was told he was "suspected of disturbing public order", but was told there would be no penalty. However, because he had been to "sensitive epidemic areas", he would need to be quarantined. Li Zehua was taken by the police chief to quarantine accommodation in Wuhan, where his electronic devices were taken. He stayed there for two weeks, saying he was "safe" and was able to watch Chinese TV news.
