Speculations about North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong Un's health have again come to the fore, after his alleged disappearance before the mass parade slated to be held this week, Fox News reported on Monday.
Incidentally, North Korea's capital Pyongyang is expected to hold mass parades this week but the leader has not been seen in public for a month.
Fox News cited a South Korean-based outlet NK News, in stating that Kim skipped a Politburo meeting on Sunday, which is the third time he has done that.
It is pertinent to note that Kim's longest-ever disappearance came in 2014 when he was not seen in public for 40 days, Fox News cited NK News.
The mass parades are slated to be held in Pyongyang on Tuesday or Wednesday and will be celebrating the 75th founding anniversary of the Korean People's Army.
Whether or not Kim will make an appearance in the parade, remains to be seen.
Kim may use the parade to showcase the latest hardware from his growing nuclear weapons and missile program which is also a growing concern for the US and its allies in Asia, Fox News reported.
Last week, North Korea condemned the US plans to expand its joint exercise with South Korea and deploy more advanced military assets like bombers and aircraft carriers to the region. It even threatened to counter the military moves of the US with the "most overwhelming nuclear force", Fox News reported.
In 2022, North Korea fired more than 70 ballistic missiles, which included potential nuclear-capable weapons designed to strike targets in South Korea or even reach the U.S. mainland.
In response to the expanded US military drills with South Korea, which were downsized during the Trump administration, North Korea even conducted a slew of launches which it described as 'simulated nuclear attacks', Fox News further reported.

Woman plotted with neo-Nazi to attack power grid, feds say

US: woman conspired with a neo-Nazi to attack power grid in Baltimore, say officials

The plan was thwarted when both suspects were arrested last week, adding to a growing list of similar cases as authorities warn the American electrical grid could be a vulnerable target for domestic terrorists

A Maryland woman spent months conspiring with a neo-Nazi leader based in Florida to plan an attack on Baltimore's power grid, hoping to further their racist mission, law enforcement officials said on Monday.
The plan was thwarted when both suspects were arrested last week, adding to a growing list of similar cases as authorities warn the American electrical grid could be a vulnerable target for domestic terrorists.
Sarah Beth Clendaniel, 34, was working with Brandon Russell, who founded a small Florida-based neo-Nazi group, to plan a series of &ldquo;sniper attacks&rdquo; on Maryland electrical substations, according to a criminal complaint unsealed on Monday.
The document also included a photo of a woman authority identified as Clendaniel wearing tactical gear that bore a swastika and holding a rifle.
It wasn't immediately clear Monday whether either suspect had a lawyer to speak on their behalf. There was no evidence the plot was carried out or any record of damage to local substations.
US Attorney Erek Barron praised investigators for disrupting hate-fuelled violence.
&ldquo;When we are united, hate cannot win,&rdquo; he said at a news conference announcing the charges.
Authorities declined to specify how the planned attack was meant to fulfill a racist motive but suggested the defendants wanted to bring attention to their cause. Russell had discussed targeting the grid during cold weather &ldquo;when most people are using max electricity,&rdquo; authorities alleged.
According to the complaint, Clendaniel was planning to target five substations situated in a ring around Baltimore, a majority-Black city mostly surrounded by heavily white suburban areas.
&ldquo;It would probably permanently completely lay this city to waste if we could do that successfully,&rdquo; Clendaniel told a confidential informant she met through Russell, according to the complaint. She was most recently living outside the city in surrounding Baltimore County, officials said.
Clendaniel told the informant she was experiencing terminal kidney failure. With just a few months to live, she wanted to &ldquo;accomplish something worthwhile&rdquo; before her death, according to the complaint. Many of their conversations focused on how she could get a weapon to carry out the attacks.
Investigators also found a document in her Google records that they compared to a manifesto. &ldquo;I would sacrifice (asterisk)(asterisk)everything(asterisk)(asterisk) for my people to just have a chance for our cause to succeed,&rdquo; it stated, including references to Hitler and other terrorists, according to the complaint.
&ldquo;Identifying and disrupting terrorist plots, both foreign and domestic, is one of the FBI's top priorities,&rdquo; agent Thomas Sobocinski said at Monday's news conference. &ldquo;To those extremists looking to disrupt society and cause chaos in our communities, we will not &hellip; tolerate this.&rdquo; Russell, who founded an obscure neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division, has a long history of ties to racist extremist ideologies and past plans to disrupt American infrastructure systems, according to the complaint. Atomwaffen Division leaders recently renamed themselves the National Socialist Order. The group's mission is civilisational collapse, according to the Southern Poverty Law Centre.
Federal authorities said Russell, 27, landed on their radar after a 2017 shooting left two of his roommates dead. Local law enforcement officers found Russell at the scene, dressed in a military uniform and crying over the news.
A third roommate, who was later arrested, told investigators he committed the killings to thwart a terrorist attack by Atomwaffen, which included plans to target US infrastructure.
He said Russell knew nothing about the killings, having just returned home from his Florida National Guard duties.
Russell ultimately pleaded guilty to explosives charges after authorities found bomb-making materials in the garage. He served five years in federal prison and was on supervised release at the time of his recent arrest, officials said.
The attorney who represented him in that case didn't immediately respond to a message Monday.
Recent attacks and threats to the US power grid have heightened concerns about protecting critical infrastructure.
In Washington state, two men were arrested last month on charges they vandalized substations in attacks that left thousands without power around Christmastime. One suspect told authorities they hoped the power outage would allow them to break into a business and steal money.
A gunfire attack in December on substations in central North Carolina also caused power outages affecting tens of thousands of customers. Law enforcement officials have said the shooting was targeted, though no arrests have been made. Lawmakers there have proposed legislation to toughen penalties for intentionally damaging utility equipment.
An account linked to Russell recently sent the confidential informant a video about the North Carolina attack, discussing the substations targeted and their geographic areas, according to the complaint.
Baltimore Gas and Electric, which controls the local power grid, thanked law enforcement on Monday and said there was no damage to substations, service wasn't disrupted and there are currently no known threats to facilities.
&ldquo;We have a long-standing partnership with law enforcement and state and federal regulators of the grid to secure critical infrastructure,&rdquo; the company said in a news release. &ldquo;This work is even more important now as threats have increased in recent years.&rdquo; Maryland Gov. Wes Moore also praised the investigative efforts that succeeded in &ldquo;preventing a potentially catastrophic attack on several of Maryland's electrical substations.&rdquo; Russell and Clendaniel corresponded years ago while incarcerated in separate correctional facilities, authorities said.
Officials declined to specify the nature of their relationship or how they met, but the complaint says they discussed having children together. Text messages linked to Russell included a statement that &ldquo;going to prison was worth it because I might not have met you otherwise&rdquo;.
Their relationship dated to at least 2018. Last May, the complaint says, Clendaniel shipped an online order &mdash; a 34-piece &ldquo;Professional Pocket Picking Hand Tool&rdquo; &mdash; to Russell's Orlando address.
Clendaniel has a long criminal history in Maryland, including a 2006 robbery conviction in Cecil County, a largely rural area about an hour northeast of Baltimore. She pleaded guilty to the charge after authorities accused her of brandishing a butcher knife and demanding money from a convenience store clerk.
Then 18, Clendaniel was pregnant at the time of her conviction. Her attorney cited mental health issues and said she was receiving methadone treatment, according to The Cecil Whig. She pleaded guilty in 2016 in connection with another robbery case.&nbsp;

Shraddha's body was cut into 17 pieces and moved between the fridge and cabinets

Aaftab Poonawalla kept shifting shraddha's body pieces between fridge and cabinets.

The Delhi Police chargesheet notes that Aaftab Poonawalla kept moving Shraddha Walker's body from the refrigerator to the kitchen cabinets whenever his dating app partner visited his flat.&nbsp;
The 6,629-page charge sheet against Poonawala in the Mehrauli murder case states that after she left, he would reposition Shraddha body. Poonawalla brought a fridge so that he could dispose of the body parts more easily.
Poonawalla allegedly cut Shraddha's body into 17 pieces, dividing her hands, legs, and other body parts into three pieces. He initially deceived the police by claiming that he crushed and disposed of Shraddha's body in a stone grinder.

Delhi auto, taxi drivers asked to wear uniform, warned of heavy fines upon violation

Ahead of G20 summit, Delhi auto, taxi drivers asked to mandatorily wear uniform

Every taxi and auto rickshaw is required to obtain the permit to ply on road. The permit is governed with certain conditions, prominent among them is that a person will not drive a vehicle without wearing appropriate uniform as prescribed

Delhi government in an order on Monday asked auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers in the city to wear a uniform while driving, warning them of heavy fines if they fail to comply, and suspension of licence for repeat offenders.
Under section 66 of Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 every taxi and auto rickshaw is required to obtain the permit to ply on road. The permit is governed with certain conditions, prominent among them is that a person will not drive a vehicle without wearing appropriate uniform as prescribed, said an order issued by the Transport department of Delhi government.
The autos and taxi unions said they were ready to follow the order, but also urged the government to lower the Rs 10,000 fine.
A transport official said that initially the focus will be on creating awareness among drivers to wear uniforms as the city&rsquo;s going to host the G20 summit and the government does not want to give a bad impression.
"All the drivers of taxi and auto rickshaw are hereby directed not to drive the vehicle, without wearing prescribed uniform, failing which challan will be issued for violation of permit condition," the Monday order read.
The "habitual offender" may face "stringent action" for not wearing uniform ranging from heavy challan along with either suspension or cancellation of driving licence or registration of vehicle, as deemed fit, it stated.
Wearing of uniforms is also mandatory for drivers of electric passenger vehicles.
Rajinder Soni, general secretary of Delhi Autorickshaw Sangh, said that the uniform will give the drivers an identity.
"However, there should not be a heavy fine, which is Rs 10,000, in case some driver fails to turn up in uniform because of any genuine reason. Presently, the fine amount is not fixed, sometimes drivers are imposed Rs 500 and sometimes the amount is higher," Soni said.
As per the Delhi Motor Vehicle Rules 1993, drivers of auto and taxi need to wear khaki uniform while driving their vehicles. However, around 1995-96, the colour was changed to grey for drivers and white for those who owned and drove their taxis and autos.
The drivers of autos and taxis have no problem wearing uniform but the challan has been a problem, said Chandu Chaurasia, president of Capital Drivers Welfare Association.
"Auto and taxi drivers hardly earn 2,000-4,000 per day. The Rs 10,000 fine is very steep for them," he said.
In 2021, Delhi High Court had sought a response from the Centre and Delhi government on a plea challenging mandatory uniforms for auto and taxi drivers in the city.
It was claimed in the petition filed by a drivers union - Chalak Shakti- that challans up to Rs 20,000 were being imposed on auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers for not wearing uniform. It was also claimed by the petitioners that the law itself was vague and ambiguous on the colour or type of uniforms.
It was not defined whether pant-shirt, Safari suit or Kurta-Pyjama qualified as uniform. Further, there was nothing about the type of fabric, colour and its shade, trims and accessories associated with the uniform, the petition had stated.

 A million Tibetan children separated from families in China, forced to assimilate through oppressive actions: UN experts

A million Tibetan kids forced to assimilate through oppressive act: UN

Around a million children of the Tibetan minority were being affected by Chinese government policies aimed at assimilating Tibetan people culturally, religiously, and linguistically through a residential school system, the experts added

About a million Tibetan children in China have been separated from their families and placed into government-run boarding schools, with UN human rights experts voicing alarm over this policy of &ldquo;forced assimilation&rdquo; of the Tibetan identity into the dominant majority through a series of oppressive actions.
&ldquo;We are alarmed by what appears to be a policy of forced assimilation of the Tibetan identity into the dominant Han-Chinese majority, through a series of oppressive actions against Tibetan educational, religious, and linguistic institutions,&rdquo; the UN experts said.
Around a million children of the Tibetan minority were being affected by Chinese government policies aimed at assimilating Tibetan people culturally, religiously, and linguistically through a residential school system, the experts added.
&ldquo;We are very disturbed that in recent years the residential school system for Tibetan children appears to act as a mandatory large-scale programme intended to assimilate Tibetans into majority Han culture, contrary to international human rights standards,&rdquo; the UN experts said in a statement on Monday.
The experts are UN Special Rapporteur on minority issues Fernand de Varennes, Special Rapporteur on the right to education Farida Shaheed and Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights Alexandra Xanthaki.
In residential schools, the educational content and environment is built around majority Han culture, with textbook content reflecting almost solely the lived experience of Han students, the statement said.
Children of the Tibetan minority are forced to complete a &ldquo;compulsory education&rdquo; curriculum in Mandarin Chinese (Putonghua) without access to traditional or culturally relevant learning.
The Putonghua language governmental schools do not provide a substantive study of the Tibetan minority&rsquo;s language, history and culture.
&ldquo;As a result, Tibetan children are losing their facility with their native language and the ability to communicate easily with their parents and grandparents in the Tibetan language, which contributes to their assimilation and erosion of their identity,&rdquo; the experts said.
They raised concerns about a reported substantial increase in the number of residential schools operating in and outside of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the number of Tibetan children living in them.
While residential schools exist in other parts of China, their share in areas populated by the Tibetan minority is much higher, and this percentage has been increasing in recent years.
While on the national level the percentage of boarding students is more than 20 per cent, information received points to the vast majority of Tibetan children in residential schools, almost one million children in total, the statement said.
&ldquo;This increase in the number of boarding Tibetan students is achieved by the closure of rural schools in areas which tend to be populated by Tibetans, and their replacement by township or county-level schools which almost exclusively use Putonghua in teaching and communications, and usually requiring children to board,&rdquo; the experts said in the statement.
&ldquo;Many of those residential schools are situated far from the family homes of students boarding in them.&rdquo; The UN experts said the policies run contrary to the prohibition of discrimination and the rights to education, linguistic and cultural rights, freedom of religion or belief and other minority rights of the Tibetan people.
&ldquo;This is a reversal of policies which were more inclusive or accommodating in some respects,&rdquo; the experts said.
In August 2021, the Central Conference on Ethnic Affairs called on all ethnic groups to be guided to always place the interests of the Chinese nation above all else.
&ldquo;This call re-affirmed the idea of building a modern and strong socialist state based on a single Chinese national identity. In this context, initiatives to promote Tibetan language and culture are reportedly being suppressed, and individuals advocating for Tibetan language and education are persecuted,&rdquo; the UN experts said.
The experts sent a communication to the Government of China in November 2022 and remain in contact with the authorities regarding the issue, the statement said.

Intruder breaches base of Air Force One, shot fired

US: after Feb 2021, another man held for trespassing base of Air Force One

During the incident, which occurred at about 11:30 a.m. Monday, &ldquo;a man gained unauthorised access to a JBA housing area,&rdquo; Joint Base Andrews said in a statement posted to Twitter

Another intruder has breached the home of Air Force One, one of the nation's most sensitive military bases, and this time a resident opened fire on the trespasser, Joint Base Andrews said in a statement late Monday.
During the incident, which occurred at about 11:30 a.m. Monday, &ldquo;a man gained unauthorised access to a JBA housing area,&rdquo; Joint Base Andrews said in a statement posted to Twitter.
&ldquo;A resident discharged a firearm, security forces arrived on scene to apprehend the intruder and law enforcement is investigating the incident.&rdquo; Joint Base Andrews is home to the fleet of blue and white presidential aircraft, including Air Force One, Marine One and the &ldquo;doomsday&rdquo; 747 aircraft that can serve as the nation's airborne nuclear command and control centres if needed.
The Air Force said late Monday it did not have anything to add beyond the Andrews statement about Monday's intrusion.
It's not the first time the base's security has been breached; in February 2021 a man got through the military checkpoint onto the installation, then through additional fenced secure areas to gain access to the flight line and climb into a C-40, which is the military's 737-equivalent aircraft used to fly government officials.
That intruder was apprehended because the &ldquo;mouse ears&rdquo; cap he was wearing struck an observant airman as odd.
An inspector general's investigation found three main security failings, starting with &ldquo;human error&rdquo; by a gate security guard who allowed the man to drive onto the base even though he had no credentials that authorised his access.
Hours later, the man walked undetected onto the flight line by slipping through a fence designed to restrict entry.
Finally, he walked onto and off a parked airplane without being challenged, even though he was not wearing a required badge authorising access to the restricted area.&nbsp;
