As trade with China is down two-thirds compared to last year, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is forced to navigate issues of increased prices of goods, shortages of medicine and supplies, and lack of imports. Among the shortages are paper and ink. Without them, North Korean officials have had to issue temporary currency for the country to use. The lack of goods such as medications and essential supplies have accelerated the spread of diseases such as typhoid fever....

Kim convened on Saturday an emergency meeting of the political bureau of the ruling Korean Workers’ Party Central Committee. The country is one of only about a dozen in the world that has not declared a single COVID-19 case, though new circumstances over the past weekend near the border city of Kaesong could reportedly affect this record. “Amid the intensified anti-epidemic campaign for thoroughly checking the inroads of the world’s threatening pandemic, an emergency event happened in Kaesong City where a runaway who went to the south three years ago, a person who is suspected to have been infected with the vicious virus returned on July 19 after illegally crossing the demarcation line,” the official Korean Central News Agency reported Sunday....

Kim released a statement Friday carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency to reject rumors of another meeting between her brother and President Donald Trump ahead of the November elections in the U.S. Though Kim dismissed the idea of a new leaders meeting, she used less belligerent rhetoric than senior North Korean officials who have also rejected rumored talks in recent days. Kim even said she had requested and received permission from her brother to obtain DVDs showing U....

In a commentary published Thursday by the official Korean Central News Agency, a North Korea Foreign Ministry spokesperson accused U.S. diplomats of arriving at recent working-level talks in Sweden with an “empty hand, thus breaking them off.” The two countries have sought a deal by which North Korea would abandon its nuclear weapons in exchange for peace, security and the lifting of international sanctions, but Pyongyang has accused Washington of maintaining a maximalist position and of continuing to take provocative steps, such as last week’s nuclear-capable Minuteman III ICBM test out of California....

Experts say North Korea’s fast-paced launches are an attempt to pressure the Biden administration to reconsider U.S. sanctions against the country. According to the Associated Press, North Korea test-fired two what appeared to be hypersonic missiles on January 11, 2022, which leader Kim Jong-Un described as a nuclear “war deterrent.” Shortly after those were fired, Newsweek reported both the U.S Treasury Department and the State Department ordered sanctions against a handful of North Koreans and a Russian man, respectively, for their roles in its missile program....

The story first surfaced Monday in South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo, which cited Seoul’s Gwanak Police Station as saying the bodies of a 42-year-old woman, identified by her surname Han, as well as her six-year-old son, were discovered on July 31—up to two months after they died—in their apartment building in the district’s Bongcheon-dong division. Neighbors complained of a foul smell coming from the residence and South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency reported that a janitor eventually entered the apartment....

The hit-and-run occurred on Dec. 5, when witnesses said they saw a truck cross three lanes, go up on the curb of the sidewalk and hit two pedestrians.

But getting Newton back, even at full health and completely cleared, won’t solve the Panthers’ problems. MORE: What stood out in Week 5 When Rivera said Tuesday that the 1-4 Panthers were struggling in every phase of the game, it wasn’t just coach-speak. Monday night was a microcosm of their season, no matter who the opponent was or who was at quarterback. Rivera didn’t quite admit the team was suffering a post-Super Bowl hangover — the kind exemplified by the now-routine fall-off by the team that loses the game — but he did say the players were “pressing....

In a media landscape fueled by outrage, nothing drives clicks quite like yet another story of a male feminist who’s been revealed as a knuckle-dragging lecher behind the scenes. The more baldfaced his sanctimony, the more fiery his rhetoric, the more prominent his self-proclaimed identity as a Woman Respecter, the more inevitable it seems that he’ll be eventually outed as one of the bad ones. Aziz Ansari, Jack Smith IV, Sam Kriss, Louis C....

The report notes that fxmsp’s attempt to sell access is not believed to be the “most likely” source of the recent breach that compromised many of the major government agencies using the company’s software, including the Treasury Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Institutes of Health....

If there’s a reason for optimism, then it’s that seven of those losses were by one score. Kelly has a new offensive coordinator in Chip Long, who comes from Memphis, and a new defensive coordinator in Mike Elko, who comes from Wake Forest. It’s an important year for Notre Dame in terms of the direction the program — and perhaps Kelly — is headed next. MORE: Will Brian Kelly leave Notre Dame?...

No worries. No. 8 Notre Dame brought those three-old school ingredients to a 30-22 win against No. 14 Georgia Tech. MORE: Week 3 photos | HAYES: Fournette-led LSU a playoff contender? The Irish have a running game. The Irish have a nasty defense.

According to one prominent recruit, Kelly’s not the most personable coach off the field either.
