A BBC reporter, a producer and a cameraman have been detained in North Korea and are being expelled from the country, the BBC has said.
Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, producer Maria Byrne and cameraman Matthew Goddard were detained on Friday as they were about to leave the reclusive communist state.
Mr Wingfield-Hayes was questioned for eight hours and made to sign a statement by North Korean officials, the corporation said.
The team has now been taken to the airport.
All three were in Pyongyang before the Workers Party Congress. They were accompanying a delegation of Nobel prize laureates on a research trip.
Another BBC journalist, Stephen Evans, the Seoul correspondent, is still in Pyongyang.
He said the North Korean leadership was displeased with their reports.
Mr Evans said Mr Wingfield-Hayes was singled out over some of his reports for TV and online.
Speaking live to Radio 4's Today program he said: "They were, as I understand, at the airport waiting to get on a flight.
"Just as they were about to board the flight, Rupert was held back.
"He was then taken to a hotel, a separate hotel to where we were and interrogated for eight hours."
An interrogator told Mr Wingfield-Hayes he had been the official to prosecute Kenneth Bae - a Korean-American missionary who was sentenced to 15 years' hard labour in the country.
Mr Evans said that Mr Wingfield-Hayes was told to sign a confession confirming that his work had been inaccurate and the authorities were particularly concerned about two incidents.
In one, Mr Wingfield-Hayes had questioned whether a visit by VIPs to a hospital had been staged by the authorities to make it seem better than it was, and another one when a cameraman was asked to delete pictures.
