In pictures: N Korean asylum bid
Urgent talks are under way over the fate of 15 North Koreans holed up in a school run by the German embassy in Beijing amid confusion over the diplomatic status of the compound.
The group scaled a 2 metre (6.6 feet) high wall to enter the grounds
They ran across the compound towards the school itself
The 15 tried to enter the buildings
The group were pursued by baton wielding security guards all the way
Unable to enter the buildings, they huddled on an outside staircase
There is now a stand-off while the question of sovereignty is debated
Police have surrounded the school's perimeter
They are keeping all journalists away
But supplies are being allowed in to feed the group who spent the night inside the school
