BBC accused of endangering students

   
 A BBC journalist who got into North Korea by using a group of students from a top British university as camouflage is facing accusations that he recklessly endangering their safety and damaged the school's reputation. BBC Reporter John Sweeney posted as a London student from the London School of Economics and Political Science, on a visit to the secretive nation. Students and Officials say Sweeney did not fully explain the situation to the students he was traveling with in advance, only being told that a "journalist was going along". He put the students at risk and jeopardized future visits by the school's academics to North Korea and other politically sensitive countries.
