North Korean ambassador faces deadline to leave Malaysia in Kim row

North Korea's ambassador to Malaysia faces a deadline to leave the country after authorities moved to expel him and accused Pyongyang of trying to manipulate the investigation into the poisoning of Kim Jong Nam.

The Malaysian government gave Kang Chol 48 hours to leave the country on Saturday after he refused to apologise for his accusations over Malaysia's handling of the investigation into the February 13 killing.
