Russian diplomats leave North Korea using hand-pushed rail trolley

A diplomat's job is no walk in the park. And if you are a diplomat in North Korea, even the journey back home cam become too arduous. Eight Russian diplomats and their families &mdash; including a three-year-old girl &mdash; had to use a hand-pushed rail trolley to cross the border from North Korea to return to Russia. Why? Because North Korea has suspended all cross-border trains due to Covid restrictions. Video posted on Russia's foreign ministry's verified Telegram account showed the trolley, laden with suitcases and women, being pushed across a border railway bridge by Third Secretary Vladislav Sorokin, the only man in the group.

The megaship which blocked Egypt&rsquo;s Suez Canal and crippled world trade for nearly a week has been &ldquo;seized&rdquo; on court orders until the vessel&rsquo;s owners pay $900 million, canal authorities said Tuesday. The 200,000-tonne MV Ever Given got diagonally stuck in the narrow but crucial global trade artery in a sandstorm on March 23, triggering a mammoth six-day-long effort by Egyptian personnel and international salvage specialists to dislodge it. Maritime data company Lloyd&rsquo;s List said the blockage by the vessel, longer than four football fields, held up an estimated $9.6 billion-worth of cargo between Asia and Europe each day it was stuck. Egypt also lost between $12 and $15 million in revenues for each day the waterway was closed, according to the canal authority.

President Joe Biden has decided to leave American troops in Afghanistan beyond the May 1 deadline negotiated with the Taliban by the Trump administration, and has set the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks as the new goal, US officials said Tuesday.
Biden has been hinting for weeks that he was going to let the deadline lapse, and as the days went by it became clear that an orderly withdrawal of the remaining 2,500 troops would be difficult and was unlikely. His decision risks retaliation by the Taliban on US and Afghan forces, possibly escalating the 20-year war.

Japan has approved a plan to release more than one million tonnes of contaminated water from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea. The water will be treated and diluted so radiation levels are below those set for drinking water. Tokyo said work to release water used to cool nuclear fuel will begin in about two years. The final approval comes after years of debate and is expected to take decades to complete. Some locals in the fishing industry, as well as Japan&rsquo;s neighbours China and South Korea, have opposed the plan.
