North Korean leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) called the “Hwasong-19” on Oct. 31, debuting the country's biggest solid-fuel weapon to date. NK News Managing Editor Bryan Betts joins the podcast to discuss the new missile, as well as the latest on North Korea's troop deployment to Russia and Ukraine's claim that it has already clashed with DPRK forces in Kursk.  He also talks about how NK Pro analysis shows North Korea has started the costly task of removing references to the country's “Juche” year naming system from thousands of plaques and monuments nationwide.

NOTICIAS DE LA MAÑANA: La ONU avisa: misil de Corea del Norte cayó en Ucrania; ¿tregua en Gaza?; FEDLos expertos de la ONU coinciden en que un misil de Corea del Norte ha caído en Jarkov, en Ucrania. En concreto y según el informe al que ha tenido acceso Reuters, los restos del arma que golpeó a suelo ucraniano el 2 de enero pertenecían a un misil balístico norcoreano de la serie Hwasong-11. Declaraciones de los supervisores de sanciones de las Naciones Unidas a un comité del Consejo de Seguridad en un informe en el que lo identifican como un arma que viola el embargo de armas al Norte. Corea ha estado bajo sanciones de la ONU por sus programas nucleares y de misiles balísticos desde 2006, y esas medidas se han fortalecido a lo largo de los años. El secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Antony Blinken, se reunió con el príncipe heredero saudí, Mohammed bin Salman, el lunes en Riad, donde discutieron la necesidad urgente de reducir las tensiones en la región, dijo el Departamento de Estado de Estados Unidos en un comunicado. Blinken también subrayó la necesidad de mantener un aumento de la asistencia humanitaria a Gaza, alcanzar un alto el fuego inmediato que asegure la liberación de los rehenes y evitar una posible mayor propagación del conflicto.El mercado espera que la Fed mantenga mañana los tipos de interés sin cambios y cree que Powell endurecerá su mensaje por el alza del IPC. El indicador preferido de la institución para medir la escalada de los precios se situó en marzo en el 3,7%, por encima de lo que se esperaba. La Reserva Federal no recortará los tipos mañana, las expectativas de rebaja en el año se enfrían ahora ronda una bajada, e incluso algunas voces  se plantean que hubiera hueco para subidaos suba. #noticiasdelamañana #noticias #onu #coreadelnorte #ucrania #ukrainewar #rusia #guerra #gaza #israel #palestina #fed #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

North Korea launched two missiles within just ten hours of each other this week, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that state media said aimed to “send a clear warning” to the “U.S. and the military gangsters of the Republic of Korea.” NK News Managing Editor Bryan Betts (@BryanBetts21) discusses the third test of the Hwasong-18 this year, as well as a visit by a Russian delegation to North Korea to talk about economic cooperation and tourism.  Then, Michael Bosack joins the podcast to talk about his role as deputy secretary of the U.N. Command Military Armistice Commission (UNMAC), which supervises the armistice agreement between the two Koreas along the Demilitarized Zone.  He talks about the mechanisms that UNCMAC uses to communicate and negotiate with the Korean People's Army, as well as the role the commission played in incidents like a North Korean vessel crossing the inter-Korean maritime border and Travis King's dash across the Military Demarcation Line. Michael Bosack (@MikeBosack) is deputy secretary and international relations officer of UNCMAC. He was previously the deputy chief of government relations for U.S. Forces Japan and worked as a Mansfield Fellow in the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Defense and National Diet.  About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

LAS NOTICIAS | Rusia refuerza sus fuerzas nucleares, volcán en erupción en Islandia y la ONU acusaEl evento de prueba del Hwasong-18 de combustible sólido el pasado lunes tuvo lugar un día después de que el submarino de propulsión nuclear USS Missouri llegara al puerto de Busan. Esta actividad ocurrió en un contexto en el que tanto Estados Unidos como Corea del Sur emitieron advertencias, señalando que cualquier ataque nuclear por parte de Pyongyang resultaría en "el fin" del régimen de Kim.Un volcán en la región suroeste de Islandia entró en erupción la noche del lunes, tras semanas de actividad sísmica que resultaron en una fisura de 10 millas de longitud en una carretera y llevó al país a declarar el estado de emergencia. La lava está siendo expulsada desde el volcán ubicado en la península de Reykjanes a una velocidad que alcanza los 200 metros cúbicos por segundo, según la Oficina Meteorológica del país. Este ritmo se ha destacado como superior a cualquier erupción registrada en la región en los últimos años.Según el jefe de derechos humanos de las Naciones Unidas, Volker Turk, existen señales de que las fuerzas rusas han perpetrado significativos crímenes de guerra en territorio ucraniano. Turk expresó hoy que ha habido un "deficiente cumplimiento general" en el procedimiento, instando a Rusia a tomar medidas apropiadas para salvaguardar la seguridad de los civiles. El monitoreo de su oficina ha señalado "graves violaciones" del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, así como infracciones sustanciales del derecho internacional humanitario y crímenes de guerra, mayormente atribuidos a las fuerzas de la Federación Rusa.#noticias #noticiasdelamañana #rusia #nuclear #volcan #islandia #onu #nacionesunidas #crisis #armas #military #ejercito #eeuu #geopolitica #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Tuesday, September 12th, 2023. Fight Laugh Feast Conference - Ark Encounter This year, our Fight Laugh Feast Conference is at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky on The Politics of Six Day Creation. The politics of six day creation is the difference between a fixed standard of justice and a careening standard of justice, the difference between the corrosive relativism that creates mobs and anarchy and the freedom of objectivity, truth, and due process. The politics of six day creation establishes the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word for all of life: from what is a man or a woman, when does human life begin, and how is human society best organized? Come hear Ken Ham, Pastor Doug Wilson, Dr. Ben Merkle, Dr. Gordon Wilson, me and more, and of course a live CrossPolitic show! Mark your calendars for October 11th-14th, as we fight, laugh, and feast, with beer & psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, our Rowdy Christian Merch, and a Sabbath Feast to wrap up the occasion. Maybe an infant baptism while we’re at it! Visit fightlaughfeast.com for more information! https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2023/09/10/estimated-300000-impacted-by-earthquake-in-morocco-with-at-least-2000-dead/ Estimated 300,000 Impacted by Earthquake in Morocco, with at Least 2,000 Dead A magnitude 3.9 aftershock rattled Moroccans on Sunday as they prayed for victims of the nation’s strongest earthquake in more than a century and worked to rescue survivors while soldiers and workers brought water and supplies to mountain villages in ruins. More than 2,000 people are dead – a number that is expected to rise. The United Nations estimated that 300,000 people were affected by Friday night’s magnitude 6.8 quake and some Moroccans complained on social networks that the government wasn’t allowing more help from outside. International aid crews were prepared to deploy, but remained in limbo waiting for the Morocco government to request their assistance. “We know there is a great urgency to save people and dig under the remains of buildings,” said the, founder of Rescuers Without Borders, who had a team stuck in Paris waiting for the green light. “There are people dying under the rubble, and we cannot do anything to save them.” Those left homeless – or fearing more aftershocks – from Friday night’s earthquake slept outside Saturday, in the streets of the ancient city of Marrakech or under makeshift canopies in Atlas Mountain towns like Moulay Brahim, which were among the hardest-hit. The worst destruction was in small, rural communities that are hard for rescuers to reach because of the mountainous terrain. Those same areas were shaken anew Sunday by a magnitude 3.9 quake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It wasn’t immediately clear if the temblor caused more damage or casualties, but it was likely strong enough to rattle nerves in areas where damage has left buildings unstable and people have spoken of their fears of aftershocks. The earthquake on Friday toppled buildings not built to withstand such a mighty quake, trapping people in the rubble and sending others fleeing in terror. A total of 2,012 people were confirmed dead and at least 2,059 more people were injured – 1,404 of them critically – Morocco’s Interior Ministry reported Saturday night. Flags were lowered across Morocco, as King Mohammed VI ordered three days of national mourning starting Sunday. The army mobilized specialized search and rescue teams, and the king ordered water, food rations and shelter to be provided to those who lost their homes. Aid offers have poured in from around the world and the U.N. said it had a team in Morocco coordinating with authorities about how international partners can provide support. About 100 teams made up of a total of 3,500 rescuers from around the world are registered with a U.N. platform and ready to deploy in Morocco when asked, Rescuers Without Borders said. In a sign that Morocco may be prepared to accept more help from outside, the Spanish military said it had sent an air force plane carrying an urban search and rescue team of 56 soldiers and four dogs to Marrakech to help. Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said in a radio interview that the deployment was in response to a bilateral request for help from Moroccan authorities. Another rescue team from Nice, France, also was on its way. In France, home to many people with links to Morocco, towns and cities have offered more than 2 million euros ($2.1 million) in aid, and popular performers are rallying to collect donations. The Moroccan king ordered the opening of special bank accounts to allow donations to help those in need. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66771568 Kim Jong Un: North Korea leader's armoured train reportedly heading to meet Putin The armoured train that Mr Kim uses for foreign visits appears to have departed Pyongyang, South Korean media reported citing a government official. The meeting between the two leaders is expected to take place as early as Tuesday local time. The Kremlin has confirmed that Mr Kim will visit Russia "in the coming days". The Pentagon said it believes Mr Kim is travelling to Russia and it expects "some type of meeting", according to the BBC's US partner CBS News. If the summit with Mr Putin goes ahead, it will be the North Korean leader's first international trip in more than four years, and the first since the pandemic. The two leaders will likely discuss the possibility of North Korea providing Moscow with weapons to support its war in Ukraine, a US official earlier told CBS, the BBC's US partner. Mr Kim's last trip abroad was also to Vladivostok in 2019 for his first summit with Mr Putin after the collapse of North Korea's nuclear disarmament talks with then US President Donald Trump. It is rumoured to include at least 20 bulletproof cars, making it heavier than average trains and unable to go beyond 59 km/h (37mph). His journey to Vladivostok is expected to take an entire day. The possible meeting comes after the White House said it had new information that arms negotiations between the two countries were "actively advancing". National Security Council spokesman John Kirby earlier said Russia's Defence Minister, Sergei Shoigu, had tried to "convince Pyongyang to sell artillery ammunition" to Russia during a recent visit to North Korea. The summit comes at a time when both Russia and North Korea have things that the other country wants, according to Ankit Panda from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "What'll matter now is if both sides can find suitable prices they're willing to pay for the other's assistance," he told the BBC. Russia will likely ask North Korea for conventional arms, including artillery shells and rocket artillery munitions in exchange for food and raw materials, and continuing support at international forums like the United Nations, he said. "This could open up the possibility of North Korea transferring more sophisticated weaponry to Russia to allow Moscow to maintain and backfill its own stocks of conventional weapons," he said. It is thought that Russia might need 122mm and 152mm shells because its stocks are running low, but it is not easy to determine North Korea's full artillery inventory, given its secretive nature. Weapons on display at the meeting between Mr Kim and Mr Shoigu in July included the Hwasong intercontinental ballistic missile, believed to be the country's first ICBM to use solid propellants. It was the first time Mr Kim had opened the country's doors to foreign guests since the Covid pandemic. https://thepostmillennial.com/police-budget-cut-in-nyc-as-illegal-immigrant-crisis-forces-women-children-to-sleep-in-tents?utm_campaign=64487 Police budget cut in NYC as illegal immigrant crisis forces women, children to sleep in tents On Saturday, city officials announced that the New York Police Department's budget would be cut, with that money re-allocated to solving the migrant crisis. The move comes as New York City continues to deal with rampant crime and an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants, many of whom, including women and children, may soon be forced out of shelters and into tents on the street. Budget Director Jacques Jiha revealed in a memo over the weekend explaining that Mayor Eric Adams, who recently said the migrant crisis could "destroy" the city, will soon "issue a directive to implement an overtime reduction initiative for our city's four uniformed agencies." These include the NYPD, the fire department, the corrections department, and the department of sanitation, all of whom provide vital services to the city and its residents. Jiha also asked the agencies to "track overtime spending and their progress in meeting the reduction target," and submit monthly reports to the city. The head of the Police Benevolent Association, Patrick Hendry, slammed the move as out of touch with reality. "It is going to be impossible for the NYPD to significantly reduce overtime unless it fixes its staffing crisis," he said. "We are still thousands of cops short, and we're struggling to drive crime back to pre-2020 levels without adequate personnel." As the Daily Mail reports, New York City is currently spending close to $10 million per day dealing with the surge of migrants, with no end to the crisis in sight. The massive cuts to the budgets of essential city services will only cover two-thirds of the projected costs. As more migrants arrive, shelters and other facilities have reached their breaking point. During an interview with PIX11 on Sunday, Adams said that those who had been given priority for indoor sleeping areas could lose that privilege. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fauci-federal-recommendations-possible-not-mandates-uptick-covid Fauci says federal mask 'recommendations' are possible amid uptick in COVID Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci predicted Sunday that federal recommendations for masking may be given as COVID-19 cases continue to rise, but not federal mandates. In an appearance on ABC's This Week, Fauci told Jon Karl he would be "extremely surprised" if a federal mask mandate were put in place. "I can see that if we get a significant uptick in cases that you may see the recommendation that masks be used under certain circumstances and indoor crowded settings, but I don't see there'd be certainly not federal mandates," he said. "There may be local organizations that may require masks, but I think what we're gonna see mostly are, if the cases go up that there might be recommendations, not mandates. There's a big difference there," Fauci continued. Karl also pressed the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director at the National Institutes of Health on the efficacy of masking in retrospect. Asked about new studies indicating that the practice of masking may not have been effective in containing the COVID-19 virus, Fauci claimed some studies are being misconstrued. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigan-state-suspends-mel-tucker-without-pay-sexual-harassment-allegations Michigan State suspends Mel Tucker without pay amid sexual harassment allegations Michigan State suspended football coach Mel Tucker Sunday amid an investigation after he was accused of sexually harassing a rape survivor last year. Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller made the announcement following conflicting reports Tucker was going to be fired and/or suspended. He added that Tucker was suspended without pay. Tucker has been the head coach of the Spartans since 2020 and signed a 10-year, $95 million contract extension in November 2021. The allegations against Tucker surfaced earlier in the day in a USA Today report. According to ESPN, he was under investigation over the allegations. Michigan State secondary coach Harlon Barnett will serve as the interim head coach. Former coach Mark Dantonio is returning as an associate head coach. Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault prevention advocate who was gang raped by four college football players in 1998, filed the complaint against Tucker and alleged the coach had asked whether she would date him if he weren’t already married and gratified himself without her consent during a phone call, according to USA Today. Tucker claims all of this was consensual - stating: "Ms. Tracy’s distortion of our mutually consensual and intimate relationship into allegations of sexual exploitation has really affected me," Tucker wrote to the Title IX investigator in March, according to USA Today. "I am not proud of my judgment and I am having difficulty forgiving myself for getting into this situation, but I did not engage in misconduct by any definition."

During an interview with PIX11 on Sunday, Adams said that those who had been given priority for indoor sleeping areas could lose that privilege. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/fauci-federal-recommendations-possible-not-mandates-uptick-covid Fauci says federal mask 'recommendations' are possible amid uptick in COVID Former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci predicted Sunday that federal recommendations for masking may be given as COVID-19 cases continue to rise, but not federal mandates. In an appearance on ABC's This Week, Fauci told Jon Karl he would be "extremely surprised" if a federal mask mandate were put in place. "I can see that if we get a significant uptick in cases that you may see the recommendation that masks be used under certain circumstances and indoor crowded settings, but I don't see there'd be certainly not federal mandates," he said. "There may be local organizations that may require masks, but I think what we're gonna see mostly are, if the cases go up that there might be recommendations, not mandates. There's a big difference there," Fauci continued. Karl also pressed the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director at the National Institutes of Health on the efficacy of masking in retrospect. Asked about new studies indicating that the practice of masking may not have been effective in containing the COVID-19 virus, Fauci claimed some studies are being misconstrued. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/michigan-state-suspends-mel-tucker-without-pay-sexual-harassment-allegations Michigan State suspends Mel Tucker without pay amid sexual harassment allegations Michigan State suspended football coach Mel Tucker Sunday amid an investigation after he was accused of sexually harassing a rape survivor last year. Michigan State athletic director Alan Haller made the announcement following conflicting reports Tucker was going to be fired and/or suspended. He added that Tucker was suspended without pay. Tucker has been the head coach of the Spartans since 2020 and signed a 10-year, $95 million contract extension in November 2021. The allegations against Tucker surfaced earlier in the day in a USA Today report. According to ESPN, he was under investigation over the allegations. Michigan State secondary coach Harlon Barnett will serve as the interim head coach. Former coach Mark Dantonio is returning as an associate head coach. Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault prevention advocate who was gang raped by four college football players in 1998, filed the complaint against Tucker and alleged the coach had asked whether she would date him if he weren’t already married and gratified himself without her consent during a phone call, according to USA Today. Tucker claims all of this was consensual - stating: "Ms. Tracy’s distortion of our mutually consensual and intimate relationship into allegations of sexual exploitation has really affected me," Tucker wrote to the Title IX investigator in March, according to USA Today. "I am not proud of my judgment and I am having difficulty forgiving myself for getting into this situation, but I did not engage in misconduct by any definition."

Kuzey Kore Yeni Silahlarını Rusya'ya Tanıttı Rusya Savunma Bakanı Sergey Şoygu Kuzey Kore'nin başkenti Pyongyang'ı ziyaret etti. Çünkü Kuzey Kore'de Zafer Günü kutlamaları vardı. Kuzey Kore Zafer Günü'nde, Kore Savaşı'nın ateşkesinin 70. (yetmişinci) yıl dönümü kutlanıyor. Kuzey ile Güney Kore 1953'te ateşkes ilan ettiler. Ancak savaştan sonra bir barış anlaşması imzalanmadı. Bu nedenle iki ülke teknik olarak hâlâ savaşta.  Rusya ve Çin uzun süredir Kuzey Kore'nin müttefiki. Çin, 1950'de Kore Savaşı'nda Kuzey Kore'yi desteklemek için asker gönderdi. Sovyetler Birliği de savaşta Kuzey Kore'yi destekledi. Sovyetler Birliği 1991'de çöktükten sonra Rusya ile Kuzey Kore müttefik olarak kaldı. Rusya ile birlikte Çinli yetkililer de bu hafta Pyongyang'da. Kim Jong-un, pandemiden beri ilk kez yabancı misafirler davet etti. Pyongyang en son Şubat 2018'de yabancı ülke delegelerini bir askerî geçit törenine davet etti. Bu nedenle, Kuzey Kore'de Covid-19 yasaklarının azaldığı tahmin ediliyor. Kuzey Kore 2020'nin başından beri tüm ticari ve diplomatik ilişkilerden uzaktaydı. Kuzey Kore lideri Kim Jong-un ziyaretçilerine Kuzey Kore'nin yeni silahlarını gösterdi. Sergilenen silahlar arasında Hwasong kıtalar arası balistik füze de var. Pyongyang yönetimi bu füzeyi nisan ayında başarıyla test etti. Hwasong, yeni bir füze türü. Çünkü sıvı yakıtla değil, katı yakıtla çalışıyor. Bu şekilde fırlatma için daha çabuk hazır oluyor. Şoygu'nun Kuzey Kore ziyareti Ukrayna savaşıyla ilgili mi bilinmiyor. Pyongyang ve Moskova'ya göre, Kuzey Kore Rusya'ya Ukrayna savaşı için silah satmıyor. Kuzey Koreli haber ajansına göre, Kim Jong-un ve Sergey Şoygu ortak güvenlik endişelerini konuştular. --- Dinlediğiniz için teşekkürler!  Lütfen bu bölümü Türkçe öğrenen diğer kişilerle de paylaşın!  Yeni bölümde görüşmek dileğiyle, hoşça kalın!

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. **Tai-Ex opening ** The Tai-Ex opened up 33-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 16,995 on turnover of $5.1-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed higher Wednesday as contract chipmaker TSMC got a boost from buying in the last few minutes of the session to climb out of its previous weakness. But the local main board remained in a narrow range throughout the session as market sentiment was cautious ahead of the release of the United States' June inflation figures, which are expected to influence (影響) moves by the Federal Reserve. **Military stages rehearsal for anti-takeover drill at Taoyuan airport ** According to the Ministry of National Defense, Taiwan's military on Wednesday morning held a rehearsal for an anti-takeover drill at Taoyuan International Airport. The drill at Taiwan's main international gateway is designed to test the armed forces' cross-branch coordination and emergency response capabilities, during a simulated Chinese invasion. In the rehearsal staged at a hanger of the Taoyuan International Airport, members of the Aviation and Special Forces Command and Army Airborne Special Forces acted as the red team invading force, with the blue team formed by ground troops from Sixth Army Corps serving as the defenders. The red team was originally set to arrive at the drill ground in Army helicopters, but decided to call them off, given the fact that nearby schools were hosting college entrance exams. After yesterday's rehearsal, the actual anti-takeover drill is scheduled to take place on July 26th, and will be the first such exercise staged at Taoyuan International Airport since it opened in 1979. **NKorea Kim Vows to Bolster Nuclear Capabilities ** North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has vowed to bolster (加固、提高) his country's nuclear fighting capabilities as he supervised the second test-flight of a new intercontinental ballistic missile designed to strike the mainland U.S. North Korea's state media reported Kim's comments a day after the launch of the Hwasong-18 missile. Kim was quoted as saying deepening U.S. and South Korean hostilities require "more intense efforts to implement the line of bolstering nuclear war deterrent.” According to KCNA, the Hwasong-18 missile was launched on a high angle to avoid neighboring countries. It flew a distance of about 1-thousand kilometers before landing in a targeted area in the open waters off the North's east coast. The missile's flight time is the longest recorded by any weapon launched by North Korea. **US VP Harris Makes History with Tiebreaking Votes ** **Return to **Table of contents US Vice President Kamala Harris has made history with tiebreaking votes in Senate. AP's Lisa Dwyer has more. **Kosovo to Reduce Police Numbers and Hold Mayoral Elections ** Kosovo's government has decided to reduce by one-fourth the number of special police officers and also hold new mayoral elections in four Serb-majority municipalities. The move is a bid to defuse tensions with neighboring Serbia that flared anew in May. Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti said Wednesday that more officers would be withdrawn based on the continuous (連續的) evaluation of the situation. Kurti also said the government would formally declare holding new elections in the four Serb-majority municipalities. Violent clashes in late May sparked when new Albanian mayors took office left at least 30 international peacekeepers and more than 50 ethnic Serbs injured.

Trong hơn sáu tháng qua, nhà lãnh đạo Triều Tiên Kim Jong Un dường như đã cho thế giới một cái nhìn chưa từng có về cuộc sống riêng tư của ông. Trong bộ ảnh đầu tiên, một cô gái đi giày đỏ, cột tóc đuôi ngựa, tay trong tay với lãnh tụ họ Kim đi bên cạnh một tên lửa đạn đạo xuyên lục địa kiểu Hwasong-17. Xem thêm.

En vísperas del 75 aniversario del Ejército Popular de Corea, Kim Jong-un está decidido a convertir al país en la principal potencia nuclear del mundo. Eliminando cualquier posibilidad de desarme, el líder está reforzando su arsenal con su "misil monstruoso", el Hwasong-17. Nunca la amenaza norcoreana había sido tan fuerte... ¿Por qué esta obsesión con la energía nuclear? ¿Qué tan en serio debemos tomar esta nueva amenaza? ¿Es Kim Jong-un tan impredecible como dicen y por qué se esfuerza por provocar a todo el planeta? Estas son las preguntas que plantea este documental de investigación, con el fin de identificar qué sucede al norte del paralelo 38, en el universo despótico del líder norcoreano. Gracias a los archivos y entrevistas inéditas a historiadores y políticos (algunos de ellos cercanos al régimen), esta película nos permite adentrarnos entre los bastidores del poder. Con precisión analiza las estrategias y manipulaciones geopolíticas llevadas a cabo durante siete décadas por la dinastía Kim.

FINALLY.  After almost a decade of hinting and teasing and parading fake empty canisters, North Korea has debuted its long-awated solid propellant ICBM. And the team have some questions about where the construction and testing sites were...   Jeffrey, Scott, and Dave descend upon the CNS DC offices for a rare in-person podcast to commemorate the event we've been waiting on for years.

*) US air force employee in custody over classified Pentagon documents leak The FBI has arrested an employee of the US Air Force National Guard over leaks of classified documents. US Attorney General Merrick Garland said the FBI arrested 21-year-old Jack Teixeira in connection with the online leaks, which the Pentagon called a "deliberate, criminal act”. Some of the most sensitive leaked details are related to Ukraine's military capabilities and shortcomings, as well as information about US allies including Israel and South Korea. *) Ukraine reports unrelenting Russian attacks on besieged Bakhmut Russia's military has pressed on with its unrelenting attacks on the war-ravaged eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut while continuing to shell the southern city of Kherson. Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Malyar said heavy fighting gripped all parts of the eastern front. She said pro-Kiev forces repelled attacks in most areas. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other senior officials are pressing allies for more weapons that Kiev hopes will enable it to launch a major counter-offensive later this year. *) Brazilian President Lula slams US dollar in China tour Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has criticised the outsized role of the US dollar in the world economy during an official visit to China. Lula questioned who decided that the dollar would be the world's currency and why countries should be tied to it for trade. He made the remarks in Shanghai during the inauguration of his political ally, Dilma Rousseff, who has been named president of the new development bank set up by BRICS nations to counter the IMF and the World Bank. Lula also had strong words for the IMF, alluding to accusations that the organisation forces harsh spending cuts on cash-strapped countries in exchange for bailout loans. *) North Korea tests new solid-fuel ICBM Hwasong-18 North Korea said it successfully tested for the first time a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile known as Hwasong-18, hailing it as a key breakthrough for the country's nuclear counterattack capabilities. All of Pyongyang's previously known intercontinental ballistic missiles have been liquid-fuelled. Such solid-fıuel missiles are easier to store and transport, more stable and quicker to prepare for launch and thus harder to detect and destroy preemptively. South Korea's military had earlier said that a launch conducted by the North was likely a new type of ballistic missile. The launch briefly triggered a seek shelter order in parts of Japan. *) Trump testifies for seven hours in New York fraud lawsuit Donald Trump has testified under oath for around seven hours in a New York civil case that accuses him and three of his children of business fraud. The behind-closed-doors deposition on Thursday came a week after the former US president's historic arraignment on criminal charges in a Manhattan courtroom in a separate case. The 76-year-old Republican is facing a slew of state, federal and congressional probes that threaten his bid to regain the presidency in next year's election.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the China in the World podcast, Carnegie China is launching a series of lookback episodes, using clips from previous interviews to put current international issues in context. For the third episode in this series, the podcast looks back on 10 years of dealing with the North Korea challenge.Developments on the Korean Peninsula have undergone major changes since the launch of the China in the World podcast. In 2011, Kim Jong-un succeeded his father, Kim Jong-il, as supreme leader of North Korea, beginning his tenure with a series of internal purges and a more assertive military posture. While the Obama administration was able to reach a moratorium agreement with North Korea on nuclear and long-range missile tests in February 2012, the agreement was quickly broken in April 2012 with an attempted space launch of the Unha-3. Between 2013 and 2016, North Korea held three nuclear tests, followed in 2017 by North Korea's first successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the United States, the Hwasong-15. A subsequent “war of words” between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump resulted in the first meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader in Singapore in 2018, followed by Kim's “self-imposed” moratorium on nuclear and long-range tests, which was broken in February 2022. Since the Biden administration entered office, North Korea has conducted over 40 missile tests, including 5 ICBM launches, while spurning unconditional diplomatic overtures from Washington. This episode helps shed light on the evolution of geopolitics on the Korean Peninsula over the past 10 years.

- Triều Tiên sáng nay lên tiếng thừa nhận đã phóng tên lửa đạn đạo liên lục địa Hwasong-15 trong một cuộc tập trận bất ngờ, nhằm khẳng định sự sẵn sàng cho “cuộc phản công cơ động và mạnh mẽ” chống lại các thế lực thù địch.

Tension remained elevated on the peninsula in November as North Korea continued an array of weapons tests, including its first successful launch of its largest nuclear-capable missile and dozens of other ballistic and artillery tests.  But another development arguably garnered more attention than even the massive Hwasong-17: North Korean state media revealed Kim Jong Un's daughter for the first time in its coverage of the intercontinental ballistic missile launch. The unnamed girl appears to be around 10 years old and may be the same one NBA Hall-of-Famer Dennis Rodman said he met when he visited Pyongyang in 2013. This week, the NK News team explores the litany of theories about why she appeared now and whether she is the new heir to the North Korean throne. They also discuss the arrests of multiple Moon Jae-in government officials over the 2020 death of an ROK civil servant in DPRK waters, U.S. strategic assets on the peninsula, a BTS member serving at the inter-Korean border and how risks rise the longer tensions remain high. This week's episode features Analyst James Fretwell (@JamesFretwe11), Seoul Correspondent Ifang Bremer (@IfangBremer) and Editorial Intern Yeji Chung (@chung_yeji). About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insight from our very own journalists.

North Korea tested one of its biggest weapons for the first time in years last week, launching a long-range missile that soared 15 times higher than the international space station before splashing down in waters west of Japan. The DPRK soon claimed that it fired a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with state media airing […]

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6963IL PIU' GROSSO PROBLEMA PER L'UCRAINA NON E' PUTIN, MA BIDEN di Antonio SocciÈ pressoché impossibile trovare qualche statista che abbia collezionato una serie di gaffe come l'attuale presidente americano Joe Biden.Gli infortuni sono cominciati fin all'inizio del suo mandato e talvolta hanno avuto aspetti comici (e umanamente comprensibili) come la flatulenza sfuggita - secondo il Daily Mail - davanti al principe Carlo e a Camilla alla Cop26 di Glasgow (dove si discuteva di emissioni nocive nell'atmosfera).O come quando - durante un discorso in cui fissava palesemente il gobbo - ha letto pure le parole tra parentesi che non doveva leggere. O quando ha detto che "Putin potrà anche circondare Kiev, ma non potrà mai conquistare i cuori e le anime del popolo iraniano".Ma con la guerra Russia/Ucraina la questione si è fatta drammatica. Ora ogni volta che Biden apre bocca ci avvicina alla terza guerra mondiale. Mentre tutti cercano di spegnere l'incendio, Biden, parlando a Varsavia, sabato, ha visto bene di alimentarlo con una cascata di benzina definendo Putin "un macellaio" (dopo averlo chiamato "assassino" e "criminale di guerra").BIDEN IMBARAZZANTEQuesto linguaggio incendiario, del tutto fuori dai canoni, rende molto arduo qualsiasi tentativo di dialogo e trattativa con Mosca. Ma come se non bastasse Biden ha pure aggiunto che Putin "non può rimanere al potere".Immediatamente è arrivata una correzione da un funzionario della Casa Bianca il quale ha precisato che il presidente "non stava parlando" di un "cambio di governo" in Russia. Una smentita clamorosa da cui si ricava la convinzione che a Washington non siano in grado di controllare la situazione, oltretutto in un momento così drammatico.È la classica toppa peggiore del buco. Del resto Biden ha dichiarato apertis verbis quello che era già chiaro dai comportamenti, ovvero che gli americani non lavorano per la pace in Ucraina, ma soffiano sul fuoco e spediscono armi perché vogliono che la guerra prosegua e la Russia si impantani: cioè usano l'Ucraina per abbattere Putin (a spese degli ucraini e degli europei le cui economie saranno devastate).L'autogol è doppio perché Biden ha apertamente confessato che vuole fare a Mosca esattamente quello che Putin voleva fare a Kiev: rovesciare il governo. E gli Stati Uniti hanno una certa esperienza nell'andare a rovesciare governi a loro sgraditi (come pure nel bombardare altri paesi).La sortita di Biden - che voleva resuscitare il disastroso fantasma dello "scontro di civiltà" con cui gli americani hanno portato guerre e devastazioni in tante zone del mondo - ha sconcertato molte cancellerie e ha costretto un membro della Nato come la Turchia (importantissimo in quella regione) a prendere le distanze.Il portavoce di Erdogan, Ibrahim Kalin, ha dichiarato ieri: "Se tutti bruciano i ponti con la Russia chi parlerà con loro alla fine della giornata?". In pratica ha spiegato che con il metodo Biden si perde ogni speranza di negoziato che metta fine alla guerra.UNA PROSPETTIVA AGGHIACCIANTEGià prima era stato il presidente francese a prendere le distanze. Macron ha detto che non userebbe il linguaggio di Biden e ha aggiunto che, se si vuole raggiungere un cessate il fuoco, non si deve alimentare "una escalation né di parole né di azioni".Che è esattamente quello che Biden sta facendo. Del resto - secondo il Wall Street Journal - fonti interne dell'amministrazione Usa sostengono che, nel contesto della guerra in Ucraina, la Casa Bianca adesso prevede addirittura il "first nuclear strike", cioè "l'attacco nucleare preventivo" in "circostanze estreme".Una prospettiva agghiacciante che Biden, in campagna elettorale, aveva sempre rifiutato.Peraltro questo atteggiamento incendiario contraddice le considerazioni del Pentagono sul conflitto in corso. Newsweek ha rivelato che, secondo gli analisti del governo Usa, in realtà Putin sta facendo una guerra a bassa intensità: "la quasi totalità dei missili lanciati dalla Russia hanno colpito obiettivi militari" scrive il generale Fabio Mini. Inoltre "nei primi 24 giorni di conflitto" aggiunge Mini "la Russia ha effettuato 1400 sortite di attacco aereo e lanciato quasi 1000 missili (meno di quanto gli Usa abbiano fatto in un solo giorno durante la guerra del 2003 in Iraq)".Dunque, per quanto crudele e orribile come ogni guerra, potrebbe essere molto peggiore. Si è capito che la Russia non punta alla distruzione dell'Ucraina. Questo dovrebbe indurre a ricercare spazi di negoziato. Ma Biden non l'ha mai fatto.C'è chi ritiene che stia cavalcando questo conflitto a fini interni, in vista delle elezioni di metà mandato. Ma se è così il risultato è disastroso perché da gennaio a marzo gli americani che lo approvano sono passati dal 43 al 40%, mentre quelli che lo bocciano dal 53 al 55%.E soprattutto sette su dieci hanno scarsa fiducia sulla sua capacità di gestire la crisi ucraina e otto su dieci ritengono che questa guerra provocherà l'aumento della benzina e potrebbe portare a un conflitto nucleare.D'altronde gli errori di Biden - finora subiti passivamente dalla Ue - rischiano di far nascere un asse Russia-Cina-India che a breve potrebbe pure diventare egemone nel mondo.Nota di BastaBugie: Stefano Magni nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Come la guerra in Ucraina agita le acque in Asia" spiega perché si sono create le condizioni per lo scoppio di nuovi conflitti. Compreso la recrudescenza di alcuni dei conflitti più duraturi.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 29 marzo 2022:L'invasione russa dell'Ucraina agita le acque internazionali e rischia di creare le condizioni per lo scoppio di nuovi conflitti. In quest'ultimo "tranquillo weekend di paura", l'Asia, dal Mar Rosso al Mar Giallo, ha assistito alla recrudescenza di alcuni dei conflitti più duraturi della storia contemporanea: Yemen, Nagorno-Karabakh e Corea. In tutti i casi, si tratta di tensioni che scoppiano direttamente o indirettamente a causa del conflitto ucraino.La Corea del Nord, il 24 marzo, ha lanciato un missile balistico intercontinentale per la prima volta dal 2017. L'ordigno, che secondo fonti sudcoreane è un Hwasong-17, ha compiuto un volo di un migliaio di chilometri, innalzandosi di 6mila chilometri e andandosi a inabissare nelle acque di zona economica esclusiva del Giappone. Secondo i calcoli, dovrebbe essere in grado di raggiungere il territorio statunitense. Dopo i tre lanci (di cui due riusciti) di fine febbraio e inizio marzo, sia Tokyo che Seul hanno avuto la conferma di quel che temevano: si trattava di preparativi per il lancio di un missile balistico intercontinentale. Cinque anni fa, Kim Jong-un, dopo i colloqui diretti con l'allora presidente Donald Trump avevano proclamato una moratoria sui test missilistici a lungo raggio e finora l'avevano rispettata. Ora gli esperti si dividono sui motivi di un gesto di sfida così esplicito. Potrebbe essere un messaggio lanciato al nuovo presidente sudcoreano, Yoon Suk-yeol, un conservatore che promette una politica più dura nei confronti del regime del Nord.Nel Caucaso meridionale, il 25 marzo si è di nuovo verificato uno scontro fra truppe armene del Nagorno-Karabakh e truppe azere. Gli azeri sono entrati nell'area controllata dalle forze di interposizione russe ed hanno aperto il fuoco contro gli armeni, uccidendone 3 e ferendone 14. I peace-keepers russi presidiano i nuovi confini (ridotti, dopo la guerra del 2020) e il corridoio di terra che unisce l'Armenia al Nagorno-Karabakh, regione a maggioranza armena incastonata nel mezzo dell'Azerbaigian, teatro di uno scontro armato che dura dal 1988, da prima ancora dell'indipendenza delle due nazioni caucasiche. Ora i russi sono accusati dal governo armeno di non aver fatto abbastanza per prevenire lo scontro a fuoco. Il premier armeno Nikol Pashinian, è volato a Mosca per consultarsi con Vladimir Putin, per "discutere della situazione creata dall'invasione, da parte di truppe azere, della zona di responsabilità delle forze di pace russe nel Nagorno-Karabakh". Le autorità del Nagorno-Karabakh, fra l'altro, denunciano un embargo sul gas imposto loro dall'Azerbaigian. Embargo che il governo di Baku nega, la cui versione ufficiale parla di lavori di riparazione ai gasdotti.Il 26 marzo le milizie sciite Houthi, armate dall'Iran, impegnate dal 2014 contro il governo dello Yemen e la coalizione di Paesi sunniti (a guida saudita) che lo sostengono, hanno lanciato missili contro un deposito petrolifero a Jeddah, in Arabia Saudita. Alte colonne di fumo nero si sono levate in cielo, proprio mentre la città portuale del Mar Rosso si preparava ad accogliere il Gran Premio di Formula 1. La competizione si è tenuta regolarmente, ma la paura era tanta. La rappresaglia saudita, tardi, ma è arrivata: ieri, l'aviazione del regno arabo ha colpito alcuni bersagli di Sanaa, la capitale dello Yemen, sotto il controllo degli Houthi.Tutte queste tensioni sono legate, direttamente o indirettamente, alla guerra in Ucraina. Gli Houthi filo-iraniani sono entrati in azione, in modo spettacolare e in una città che, per il Gran Premio era sotto gli occhi di tutto il mondo, per almeno due motivi: il primo è il vertice del Negev, che si è tenuto ieri, fra Israele e i Paesi arabi sunniti del Golfo, dunque gli Houthi, che fanno parte dello schieramento opposto, hanno voluto lanciare un segnale forte. Il secondo è l'Iran, che sta continuando a negoziare per un nuovo accordo sul suo programma nucleare e vuole alzare la posta in gioco. Ma lo fa sapendo, soprattutto, che gli Usa sono distratti dalla guerra in Ucraina, dalla tensione con la Russia (alleata e protettrice dell'Iran) e quindi dagli occidentali si possono estorcere condizioni molto migliori. Perché, mai in questo periodo, gli Usa sono stati così disposti a fare concessioni al di fuori del teatro di crisi europeo.

*) US lawmakers warn Russia of 'mother of all sanctions' ahead of UNSC meet The United States has worked to ramp up diplomatic and financial pressure on Russia over Ukraine, promising to put Moscow on the defensive at the UN Security Council. The American ambassador to the United Nations said the UNSC would press Russia hard in a Monday session to discuss its massing of troops near Ukraine and fears it is planning an invasion. The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Bob Menendez, said that in the event of an attack, lawmakers want Russia to face "the mother of all sanctions". *) US seeks direct talks after North Korea tests 'most powerful' missile The United States has urged North Korea to join direct talks about its nuclear and missile programmes after Pyongyang tested what it called “the most powerful missile since 2017”. A senior Biden administration official told reporters the latest test was part of an "increasingly destabilising" pattern and violated UN Security Council resolutions. The official spoke after North Korea confirmed it had tested a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile, state media reported. *) UN: Over 100 former Afghan forces, officials killed since Taliban takeover The United Nations says it has received “credible allegations” that more than 100 former members of the Afghan government and officials have been killed since the Taliban took over the country. In a report obtained by The Associated Press, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said “more than two-thirds” of the victims were allegedly subjected to extrajudicial killings by the Taliban or its affiliates. The killings were carried out despite the Taliban's announcement of “general amnesties” for those affiliated with the former government and US-led coalition forces. *) PM Costa's Socialists win re-election in Portugal Portugal's Prime Minister Antonio Costa has said his centre-left Socialist Party has secured a full parliamentary majority of 117-118 seats in snap general election. At the Socialist party's campaign headquarters, supporters stood up cheering as the projected results were published. The ballot took place on Sunday amid a surge in Covid-19 cases, with about 1.2 million people confined at home but allowed to go to polling stations to vote. *) Nadal beats Medvedev in Australian Open, makes history with record titles Rafael Nadal has won a record 21st Grand Slam men's title after beating Daniil Medvedev in the Australian Open final. Nadal came out on top in the physical war of attrition to move ahead of era rivals Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer on the all-time list of men's major winners. It was one of the 35-year-old's greatest title victories in his 29th Grand Slam final winning his second Australian Open - 13 years after his first in 2009.

Los norcoreanos nunca habían realizado tantos ensayos con misiles en un lapso tan corto: van siete en un mes. El último, el domingo, ha sido el más potente desde 2017. Preguntamos qué puede haber detrás de esta escalada a Rafael Bueno, director del departamento de política y sociedad de Casa Asia (Barcelona). RFI: ¿Cómo calificaría escalada de Corea del Norte en materia de pruebas armamentísticas a comienzos de 2022?  Rafael Bueno: Han sido siete ensayos con misiles en un mes, lo cual es una cifra enorme. Además, tienen lugar en un periodo en que están ocurriendo al mismo tiempo muchos acontecimientos de gran magnitud. Entre ellos, los Juegos Olímpicos de invierno en China; la crisis en Europa con Ucrania y Rusia; las elecciones dentro de un poco más de un mes en Corea del Sur, el Nuevo Año Solar en Asia, que corresponde para nosotros (en Occidente) como el Año Nuevo. Para Corea del Norte estos disparos de misiles es una manera de llamar la atención porque ha estado un poco fuera de juego luego de haber tenido una relación casi privilegiada y un canal de comunicación bastante asiduo con Estados Unidos y ahora de repente ha pasado a un plano secundario. Es una demostración de fuerza hacia Estados Unidos y sus vecinos en la zona, Japón y Corea del Sur. También es una manera de intentar llevar a Estados Unidos a la mesa de negociaciones. RFI: ¿Qué consecuencias puede tener esta actitud del régimen norcoreano? Rafael Bueno: A corto plazo, seguir incrementando las sanciones contra ese país. Ya veremos a largo plazo si realmente se reúnen para ver si se puede encontrar una solución a través del diálogo. RFI: A pocos días del inicio de los Juegos Olímpicos de invierno en China, ¿son estos disparos de misiles un mensaje de Corea del Norte para que Pekín deje de tratar a ese país como un aliado de tercera a categoría? Rafael Bueno: Las relaciones entre China y Corea del Norte siempre han sido complejas. Nunca han tenido una relación especialmente buena, aparte de las décadas del 50 y del 60. Y desde luego, desde China esta escalada es percibida como una provocación más de Corea del Norte, teniendo en cuenta la inminente inauguración de los Olímpicos de Invierno. Para Corea del Norte es un intento un poco desesperado para que China se involucre y fuerce para que se vuelva a seguir negociando como se hizo anteriormente. Recordemos que a finales del año pasado se evocó la posibilidad de firmar un tratado para poner fin a la guerra de Corea, que sigue vigente desde 1953, solo interrumpida por un armisticio. Otro elemento que hay que tener en cuenta es la hambruna y los problemas económicos que puede estar sufriendo Corea del Norte por las sanciones de los occidentales. RFI: ¿Son estos ensayos una especie de vitrina económica para Pyongyang? Rafael Bueno:: Estas pruebas de misiles son efectivamente un buen reclamo para los posibles vendedores de armamento que tiene Corea del Norte. Para los norcoreanos es un buen reclamo para mostrar todo este arsenal a la venta y que puede representar una fuente de ingresos esencial para la supervivencia del régimen. Un disparo sin precedentes desde 2017  El Estado Mayor Conjunto de Corea del Sur señaló que el misil lanzado el domingo había alcanzado una altura máxima estimada de 2.000 kilómetros y habría recorrido unos 800 kilómetros durante media hora. Esto indicaría que Pyongyang ha probado su "primer misil balístico de alcance intermedio (IRBM) desde 2017", escribió en Twitter Joseph Dempsey, analista del Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégicos. La última vez que el régimen comunista lanzó un proyectil similar fue en 2017, cuando un misil Hwasong-12 se desplazó 787 kilómetros con una altura máxima de 2.111 kilómetros.   Se trata del séptimo ensayo militar en 2022 de Corea del Norte, que ha realizado dos pruebas de misiles supersónicos y cuatro de misiles balísticos de corto alcance y de crucero.

Korea24 – 2022.01.31. (Monday) News Briefing: North Korea's state media announced on Monday that the regime test-fired a Hwasong-12 “intermediate and long-range” ballistic missile the previous day. The US has condemned the launch, adding that they are in close consultation with allies in the region, including South Korea and Japan. (Emma KALKA) In-Depth News Analysis: Studies have shown that about 80 percent of new year's resolutions fail by mid-February. So why do people fail and is there a better way to make and keep resolutions? To try and help answer those questions, Dr. Brendan Kelly, Professor of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, and author of “The Science of Happiness: The Six Principles of a Happy Life and the Seven Strategies for Achieving It” joins us on the line. Understanding Seollal with Walter Lee: In the first of a two-part series delving into the history and traditions surrounding Seollal (설날), or the Lunar New Year Holiday, Walter introduces us to the customs and food associated with ‘Seol’, including learning about “sebae(세배)”, “bokjori(복조리)” and “tteokguk(떡국)”. Monday Sports Round-up: With the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics just around the corner, we have a special interview with Aileen Frisch, a naturalized South Korean luge athlete, who will be taking part in her second Olympics representing ‘Team Korea’. She tells us her story of how she came to compete in Pyeongchang 2018, how she made South Korea her new home, and her preparations for Beijing.

Last week, North Korea unveiled a variety of weapons during an exhibition which included their newest developed “hypersonic missile”, Hwasong-8. This recent exhibition was one of the biggest displays of North Korean weapons in the last couple of years, and the country's leader, KimJong-un, made it clear that he will continue to build up their military forces. It comes at a time when the United States is pushing for North Korea to return to nuclear disarmament talks, but so far the country has rejected starting any negotiations. This week, Ankit Panda joins Doug to unpack the state of North Korea's nuclear weapons program and what it means for U.S. policy toward North Korea.Ankit Panda, "North Korea's New 'Hypersonic Missile': Not A Game Changer Just Yet", 19FortyFiveAnkit Panda, "Why North Korea's New Cruise Missile Matters", Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceToby Dalton and Ankit Panda, "Lessons From the Iran Deal for Nuclear Negotiations With North Korea", Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

North Korea put on *another* parade, during the 8th Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea.  Kim Jong Un dropped some fascinating details about what the DPRK has allegedly completed, and what they may be working on, including a possible nuclear submarine and intermediate-range cruise missile. Then, he paraded some new missile hardware, including a new solid-fuel SLBM and some new short range systems.  And, to top it off, Jeffrey and Dave Schmerler found that the SLBM-test platform in Nampho harbor has been moved for a possible refurb, meaning SLBM tests may be possible in the near future. Jeffrey and Scott try to parse out what the North Koreans have built, what they showed us at the parade, and what is to come this year.   For our episode on the gigantic new as-of-yet-unnamed ICBM (nicknamed the Hwasong-16 or the Hwasong-X), click here.

La frenética carrera nuclear del líder norcoreano Kim Jong – Un, está tensando, a través de los Estados Unidos, las relaciones de la Comunidad Internacional con Corea del Norte, dejando entrever un panorama cuando menos incierto. La última prueba del misil intercontinental Hwasong – 15, capaz de alcanzar cualquier punto del territorio estadounidense, no ha hecho más que poner en valor los logros que están alcanzando los norcoreanos en esta disciplina. La pregunta es cómo están afectando al mundo estos avances y hacia dónde nos llevan. Este es el tema que hoy abordaremos de la mano de nuestros analistas de prestigio, Dña. Marta González Isidoro, Carlos Paz, Manuel Gazapo, Miguel Jurado Gallardo y de D. Fernando Montoya Cerio.

A Canadian reviews the month’s North Korea news with a special guest. For November, Andrea talks to John Hemmings, the Director of the Asia Studies Centre at the Henry Jackson Society. They dig into major stories about North Korean defectors and the Kim Jong Nam assassination, and consider the stunning views from Cathay Pacific flights.   Links of Note:  Defector crosses the border at Panmunjom. Statement by Rex Tillerson on the Hwasong-15 launch. Kim Jong Nam carrying VX antidote.  North Koreans bootlegging in Pakistan.  Cathay Pacific air crew gets a good view. 

North Korea tested a new ICBM called the Hwasong-15. We'll keep these show notes brief. Its frickin’ huge. Aaron, Jeffrey, and Scott discuss the missile, the launch site, the truck that carried it, and its oh-so-roomy payload. Links of Note: Dave Schmerler compiled the KCNA imagery into one big flickr album.  

The final part in our three part series! Episode 1 can be found here. Episode 2 is here. This addendum episode includes discussion on new developments, the DPRK's 'Site B' for SLBMs, and the Golf submarines. In addition to a new ICBM and thermonuclear weapon, North Korea is also developing new class of solid-fueled missiles.   Joseph Dempsey from the International Institute for Strategic Studies joins Jeffrey in a special three part episode to discuss the Pukguksong-1 submarine launched ballistic missile, the land-based Pukguksong-2 medium range ballistic missile, and Kim Jong Un's visit to the Chemical Material Institute in Hamhung.   Part 2 of 3, originally recorded in August, before ICBM and H-Bomb fever Links (and Pictures) of Note North Korea's SLBM and associated subsystems testing record, provided by Joseph The Pukguksong-1 on parade with its potentially-new airframe on display.

Producer/Host: Amy Browne Contributing producers: Carolyn Coe, Denis Howard Segment 1: Bruce Gagnon on Korea, BIW and the US “Pivot to the Asia-Pacific” Maine-based peace activist Bruce Gagnon spoke in Deer Isle on August 3rd about what's being called the US “Pivot to the Asia-Pacific”. Gagnon has traveled to South Korea and worked with peace activists there and elsewhere in the region who oppose US military bases in their countries. He has also made the connection with the destroyers being built here in Maine at Bath Iron Works and has been arrested for civil disobedience at BIW. Although he spoke before President Trump’s recent comments about “fire and fury” in North Korea, Gagnon's views on the region provide insight not heard in the mainstream media. He is a senior fellow at the Nuclear Policy Research Institute, and is a member of the “Working Group for Peace and Demilitarization in Asia and the Pacific” a consortium of acclaimed scholars sharing a focus on the region. (Recorded by Carolyn Coe, edited by Amy Browne) UPDATE: We contacted Bruce Gagnon this week for a comment following the escalation of tensions in the region after he spoke in Deer Isle. Here is his response: “In a new report, published by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, missile experts (including Ted Postol from MIT) write that North Korea does not have the rocket capability that Washington and the corporate media are claiming. They state, “The Hwasong-14 does not currently constitute a nuclear threat to the lower 48 states of the United States. The flight tests on July 4 and 28 were a carefully choreographed deception by North Korea to create a false impression that the Hwasong-14 is a near-ICBM that poses a nuclear threat to the continental US. The Hwasong-14 tested on July 4 and 28 may not even be able to deliver a North Korean atomic bomb to Anchorage, Alaska.” The US to this day refuses to sign a peace treaty with North Korea – thus the war legally continues. On July 27, 1953 the US signed an Armistice (ceasefire) with North Korea but that is it. Thus the continuous US-South Korean war games right along the North Korean border must make Pyongyang wonder – is this the real thing? Did the Pentagon decide to invade us for real this time like they have done in Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Granada, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen? Embedded deep beneath North Korea's mountainous zones are some 200 varieties of minerals, including gold, iron, copper, zinc, magnesite, limestone, tungsten, and graphite. Some of these stockpiles are among the largest in the world, and North Korea, a tiny and cash-strapped nation, frequently uses them to bring in additional revenue — no matter the laws against doing so. The total value of these minerals lies somewhere between $6 trillion and $10 trillion. Could much of this war hype be a plan to grab their resources? In the end I think it important to say that North Korea is really a foil – the US does not fear NK which only has 4 nuclear warheads while the US has 6,800 of them. Clearly the demonization and scare campaign around NK is intended to justify the US military ‘pivot' of 60% of Pentagon forces into the Asia-Pacific to be aimed at China and Russia – the real prizes that Washington has on the regime change list.” Segment 2: WERU’s Denis Howard talks with Peter Alexander about his new rock opera “One Way Trip To Mars” — opening at the Waterville Opera House on August 24th.

North Korean state media released a video depicting a missile attack on the United States Capitol and the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier on Wednesday. Government mouthpiece Arirang-Meari released the video, entitled “Within the Scope of Destruction”, in an apparent response to recent U.S. military maneuvers near the Korean peninsula. A commentary in Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK), also reported on Thursday that the “White House and the Blue House are in the crosshairs of the gunsight of the Paektusan (Mt. Paektu) revolutionary powerful army.” The video begins with a recording of a speech delivered by Choe Ryong Hae, a vice-chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the DPRK, at last week's Day of the Sun military parade. “If the U.S. makes a reckless provocation against us, our revolutionary armed forces will immediately hit a merciless blow,” Choe says. “We will respond to an all-out war with an all-out war and a nuclear war with our style of a nuclear attack.” The video features the Hwasong-7 Scud-ER, which was test launched last September, and the Pukguksong-2 (KN-15), which was launched for the first time in early February. The Scud-ER and the Pukguksong-2 are short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles, respectively. https://www.nknews.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/arirang-meari-video.mp4   The video also showed the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and its carrier strike group in the crosshairs of a telescopic sight, with a subtitle saying “foolish and fat animals crawling and becoming a huge target.” After depicting what appears to be a joint amphibious training drill between the U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK), exploding smoke shells are seen with subtitles reading: “Poor tiger moth which doesn't know that they will die. Crawl into here if you can." The media also shows the launch of an anti-ship cruise missile, which was covered by state media in February 2015, and what appeared to be the four Scud-ER missiles launched in early March hitting the USS Carl Vinson. “The nuclear power of the East is envied by the world. Asia's leading country in rockets will knock you down if you take one step towards invasion and provocation,” the subtitles read. The video then shows footage of the Pukguksong-2 firing from a launch tube - footage first aired by Korean Central Television (KCTV) in early February. Multiple Pukguksong-2 missiles then head toward the U.S. mainland and hit the U.S. Capitol in a computer graphic simulation. The final subtitle read: “the final collapse will begin.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFbCRbiRVSY The provocative simulation of a North Korean attack on the U.S. mainland came the day that Commander of U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM) Harry Harris called the DPRK "the most immediate threat to the security of the U.S. and our allies in the Indo-Asia-Pacific," in a hearing of the U.S. House Committee on Armed Services. Speaking at a hearing on “Military Assessment of the Security Challenges in the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region,” Harris said there is a “mismatch” between the rhetoric of North Korea and its capabilities, saying that it “has threatened by name Manhattan, Washington, Colorado, Australia, Hawaii.” But the commander said that North Korea “moves closer to [its] stated goal of a pre-emptive nuclear strike capability against American cities” every time it conducts a missile or nuclear test. “Defending our homeland is my top priority so I must assume that Kim Jong Un's nuclear claims are true,” Harris told the panel. “When he threatens the United States, then that's one level,” he said. “When he threatens the United States with the capability of realizing that threat, that's a different place. And when that happens, that's an ‘inflection point' and we'll have to deal with that I believe." In a statement submitted before the hearing, Harris said “aggressive rhetoric since the New Year...
