      North Korea’s Kim Jong Un says country ready for ‘any military confrontation with US’

      North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country is ready to mobilise its nuclear war deterrent and for any military clash with the United States, state media reported on Thursday, amid signs the North could conduct its first nuclear test since 2017. Kim made the remarks during a speech at an event to mark the 69th anniversary of the July 27 Korean War armistice, which left the two Koreas technically still at war, according to the official KCNA news agency. The confrontation with the United States posed nuclear threats since the conflict required the North to achieve an “urgent historical task” of beefing up its self defence, Kim said. “Our armed forces are thoroughly prepared to respond to any…

      China’s property crisis causes Asia’s richest woman to lose half of her $24 billion fortune

      The growing Chinese real estate crisis, which has put major developers in debt, has caused Yang Huiyan, the richest woman in Asia, to lose more than half of her wealth. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Ms. Yang, the majority shareholder in Country Garden, the largest developer in China, had her net worth fall by more than 52% in one year, from $23.7 billion to $11.3 billion. Her decline in wealth serves as a stark reminder of the nation’s prolonged real estate crisis, which raises worries that it will eventually harm the country’s financial system and funding sources. The crisis started in 2020 when Chinese authorities cracked down on the industry’s unsustainable debt, driving major businesses like Evergrande to the…

      Wildfires detonating 100-year-old bombs from World War I in Slovenia

      Awildfire is devouring Slovenia, and as it spreads across areas that were once First World War battlegrounds, it is colliding fatally with explosive ordnance that is more than a century old. A bomb from World War I burst while firemen were working nearby, according to media reports. Despite being struck by shrapnel, there were no serious casualties among the firefighters. Because there have been so many explosions, authorities have ceased keeping track of detonations and are now only noting those that occur close to roads. According to local media sources cited by Vice News, President Borut Pahor and Prime Minister Robert Golob visited the western Slovenian district of Kras on Sunday, where a huge fire that had been burning for…

      After returning to Washington on Tuesday after 18 months, Donald Trump delivered a fiery speech and hinted that he may run for President again in 2024. During his address to the America First Policy Institute, Trump repeated his false claims that he won the 2020 election and denounced the House committee investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol by his supporters as the work of “political hacks and thugs.” “I always say I ran the first time and I won, then I ran a second time and I did much better,” Trump said, adding, “We may just have to do it again.

      Pakistan Nearing Economic Collapse? Political Instability Pushing Country Closer to the Red Line

      As political uncertainty continues in Pakistan weeks after the ouster of Imran Khan, this time focused on the province of Punjab, the country’s economic stability has been pushed further into the risk zone with the cabinet approving an ordinance to bypass all procedures for selling assets to foreign countries. The movie is a stop-gap arrangement to prevent the country from defaulting. Pakistan’s currency has been plummeting against the US dollar and the delay in the release of a crucial $1.17 billion instalment from the International Monetary Fund to Islamabad has also added to the existing economic crisis. The fund earlier this month said it reached a preliminary agreement with Pakistan to revive the $6 billion bailout package. But the deal…
