A worker at Disneyland in the United States has been killed in a monorail crash. The staff was operating one of the trains which collided at theme park in the early hours of the morning. Investigators 7 are trying to determine what caused the crash.


And the British Foreign Office has denied UK’s security had been compromised after intimate details of the new head of MI6 appeared on a social networking site. The wife of incoming security chief John Sawers had posted family photographs and their home address on Facebook. The government quickly ordered the web page be removed. That watered down concern by saying it was no state secret that Sir John wears Speedo swimming trunks.


And that’s ABC World News
