Thousands Rally in North Korea in Support of New Leader

Tens of thousands of people are rallying in Pyongyang to support North Korea's new leader Kim Jong Un as he consolidates power.

The huge crowd stood in snow-covered Kim Il Sung Square on Tuesday as senior North Korean officials clapped on a balcony above and urged the country to unite around the 20-something Kim Jong Un.

The rally comes as Kim Jong Un takes power of the ruling party and military following the death of his father Kim Jong Il last month. It wasn't immediately clear if Kim Jong Un was at the rally.

Crowds beat drums and carried large national flags as they paraded across the square. Some held placards calling for loyalty to Kim and for efforts to improve the economy
