Angry residents throw eggs and water bottles at South Korean prime minister

Angry residents in a rural South Korean town have thrown eggs and water bottles at the prime minister in protest at a plan to deploy an advanced US missile defence system in their neighbourhood.

Earlier this week South Korea announced that the missile system - called Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) - will be placed in the south eastern farming town of Seongju by the end of next year to better cope with North Korean threats.
