<i>Kim Jong-Il's son not to succeed his father</i>

North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il's eldest son has denied he is to succeed his father as the head of the secretive communist state, Japanese television reported Wednesday.
"I am free. So I think, if I was the successor, you can't see me in Macau," Kim Jong-Nam told a crew from the TBS network in the southern Chinese city.
"My father is an important person but I am not," he said in English, according to TBS footage, which the network said was recorded on Tuesday.
Asked about North Korea's rocket launch on Sunday, the 37-year-old said: "Sorry I don't have any information, anything to tell you. Just my feeling."
"I am just watching carefully the international community's reaction," he said, adding that he was "quite worried" about "more tension" surrounding his country.
"I hope one day North Korea will be in a good situation politically."
