Susan Rice, the US permanent representative to the UN, is to become President Barack Obama's National Security Adviser, officials say.

She would replace Tom Donilon, who is set to announce shortly that he is resigning after two years in the post.

Ms Rice was once seen as a contender for the job of secretary of state, but was forced to withdraw after opposition from Republicans in Congress.

She was criticised for remarks she made after an attack on diplomats in Libya.
