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;

Balloon belongs to China: Beijing on if it wants the debris returned

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning reiterated that the &ldquo;unmanned airship&rdquo; posed no threat and entered U.S. airspace accidentally.

China said Tuesday it will &ldquo;resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests&rdquo; over the shooting down of a suspected Chinese spy balloon by the United States, as relations between the two countries deteriorate further.
The balloon prompted U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a highly-anticipated visit to Beijing this week that had offered slight hopes for an improvement in relations.
China claims it was a civilian balloon used for meteorological research but has refused to say to which government department or company it belongs.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on Tuesday reiterated that the &ldquo;unmanned airship&rdquo; posed no threat and entered U.S. airspace accidentally.
Mao again criticised the U.S. for overreacting rather than adopting a &ldquo;calm, professional" manner, and for using force in bringing the balloon down Saturday in the Atlantic Ocean just off the U.S. coast.
Asked if China wanted the debris returned, she only reasserted that the balloon &ldquo;belongs to China."&nbsp;

Will give an appropriate response to any aggression: Army Commander on LAC situation

Prepared to respond to any aggression by China: Army Commander on LAC situation

GOC Dwivedi said measures to resolve the Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation at diplomatic and operational levels are also simultaneously underway

The Army on Tuesday said it was prepared to give an appropriate response to any adverse aggressive designs of China in the Ladakh sector, maintaining that the integrity of the country was being ensured through physical patrolling and technical means.
"On the LAC, our response to Chinese attempts to unilaterally change the status quo was a swift, undaunted and synergised action by the Indian Armed Forces," General officer Commanding in Chief of Army's Northern Command Lt General Upendra Dwivedi said at an investiture ceremony at Badami Bagh Cantonment area here.
"Any adverse aggressive designs or attempts will definitely be met with appropriate posturing of Forces and a strong intent with complete synergy among the three services," he said.
He said measures to resolve Line of Actual Control (LAC) situation at diplomatic and operational levels are also simultaneously underway.
"I assure you that the LAC in Eastern Ladakh is being dominated by physical patrolling and through technical means and our territorial integrity is being ensured," he added.
Lt Gen Dwivedi said the Northern Command is in a high state of readiness and morale to face constantly evolving threats and challenges.
"The security situation in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh poses many challenges in terrain and operational dynamics, especially from different adversaries along the Northern and Western borders. We are committed to defending India's sovereignty and territorial integrity while upholding the democratic traditions of the Nation. "We are maintaining a constant vigil, monitoring all developments and will take all necessary steps to protect our National Interests," he said.
The Army commander said the Army is prepared to meet any challenges in the future and will always work for the betterment of the people of the region.
"The last two years have brought to the fore newer challenges in the wake of abrogation of Article 370, the Galwan conflict and multiple waves of COVID-19," he said.
"These challenges have only served to strengthen our resolve to be steadfast and determined in our commitment," he added.

Plot to target a highly secure Peshawar mosque hatched in Afghanistan: Pakistan officials

Police sources said the security agencies have arrested 17 suspects involved in the devastating blast &ndash; the deadliest attack on security personnel in decades in Pakistan.&nbsp;

The plot to target a highly secure mosque here in the capital of Pakistan's restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province was hatched in Afghanistan and funded by their intelligence agency, the country's law enforcement officials probing the suicide attack said on Tuesday.
On January 30, a Taliban suicide bomber blew himself up during the afternoon prayers in a Peshawar mosque, killing 101 people and injuring more than 200 others. The bomber disguised himself in a police uniform to sneak into the high-security zone and was riding a motorcycle with a helmet and mask on, a top police official said previously.
The Peshawar mosque suicide attack conspiracy was hatched in Afghanistan and funded by the intelligence agency based in Kabul, investigating officials said.
The motorcycle used in the blast was sold twice in Sarki Gate, Peshawar's bustling market, officials said.
Police said they have arrested the sellers of the motorcycle.
Police sources said the security agencies have arrested 17 suspects involved in the devastating blast &ndash; the deadliest attack on the security personnel in decades in Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Peshawar has announced a bounty of PKR 10 million for the facilitators of the suicide bomber.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Police Chief Moazzam Jah Ansari said the suicide bomber's identity has been identified through his DNA samples.
The bomber left his helmet at the gate before entering the highly-secured mosque which was captured in the CCTV footage.
"The facilitators behind this heinous attack will be arrested soon," he said. Pakistan has been hit by a wave of terrorist attacks, mostly in the country's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but also in Balochistan and Punjab.
The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, the outfit later distanced itself from the attack.
During the Apex Committee meeting held earlier this month, Pakistan&rsquo;s civil and military leadership decided to seek Afghan Taliban chief Haibuttallah Akhundzada&rsquo;s intervention to control the TTP.&nbsp;

Turkey earthquake: Syrian rescuers find child in ruins of building

The rescue on Monday night was that of a girl called Nour, Arabic for light, whose dad was standing by as rescuers pulled her from the rubble.

Civil defence workers continued digging through the rubble in northwestern Syria looking for survivors in the wake of a devastating earthquake that killed thousands.
Video released by the opposition Syrian Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, showed first responders digging a living child out of the wreckage of a collapsed building in Jinderis, an opposition-held town.
The rescue on Monday night was that of a girl called Nour, Arabic for light, whose dad was standing by as rescuers pulled her from the rubble.
Rescuers could be heard telling "talk to your dad, talk" as they dug her out and took her safety.
Rescuers in Turkey and war-ravaged Syria searched through the frigid night into Tuesday, hoping to pull more survivors from the rubble after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake killed more than 4,000 people and toppled thousands of buildings across a wide region.
Authorities feared the death toll from Monday's pre-dawn earthquake and aftershocks would keep climbing as rescuers looked for survivors among tangles of metal and concrete spread across the region beset by Syria's 12-year civil war and refugee crisis.
Hundreds of families remained trapped in the rubble, the White Helmets said in a statement.
Rebel-held northwestern Syria is packed with some 4 million people displaced from other parts of the country by the war.
Many live in buildings that are already wrecked from military bombardments.
The White Helmets described the situation in the enclave as "disastrous."
The opposition-held area, centered on the province of Idlib, has been under siege for years, with frequent Russian and government airstrikes.
The territory depends on a flow of aid from Turkey for everything from food to medical supplies.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said 224 buildings in northwestern Syrian were destroyed and at least 325 were damaged, including aid warehouses.
&nbsp;
The U.N. had been assisting 2.7 million people each month via cross-border deliveries, which could now be disrupted.

The footage was captured in the city of Hatay in southeastern Turkey - one of the places hit the hardest by the earthquake.

USA: this 13-yr-old Indian-American is 'World's Brightest Student', again

She also took the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY) test in Spring 2021, when she was a Grade 5 student.

Indian-American schoolgirl Natasha Perianayagam was named the "world&rsquo;s brightest&rdquo; student for the second consecutive year by the US-based Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth, based on the results of above-grade-level tests of over 15,000 students across 76 countries.
Perianayagam, 13, is a student at Florence M Gaudineer Middle School, in New Jersey.
She also took the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY) test in Spring 2021, when she was a Grade 5 student.
Her results in the verbal and quantitative sections levelled with the 90th percentile of advanced Grade 8 performance, which catapulted her into the honours list that year.
This year, she was honoured for her exceptional performance on the SAT, ACT, School and College Ability Test, or similar assessment taken as part of the CTY Talent Search, the university said in a press release on Monday.
Perianayagam, whose parents hail from Chennai, said she loves doodling and reading JRR Tolkien's novels in her spare time.

CTY used above-grade-level testing to identify advanced students from around the world and provide a clear picture of their academic abilities.
According to the university release, Perianayagam was among the 15,300 students from 76 countries who joined CTY in the 2021-22 Talent Search year.
Less than 27 per cent of those participants qualified for the CTY ceremony, receiving either high or grand honours based on their test scores.
In her latest attempt, Perianayagam scored the highest grades among all candidates.
"This is not just recognition of our students' success on one test, but a salute to their love of discovery and learning, and all the knowledge they have accumulated in their young lives so far," said CTY's executive director Dr. Amy Shelton.
"It is exciting to think about all the ways in which they will use that potential to discover their passions, engage in rewarding and enriching experiences, and achieve remarkable things -- in their communities and in the world," she added.

 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;

Two pilots survive Boeing 737 crash in Australia

Both pilots received only minor injuries even though the plane was engulfed in flames and smoke upon impact, Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson said.

Two pilots walked away with minor injuries after a Boeing 737 jet converted for firefighting crashed in Australia, officials said Tuesday.
The twin-engine tanker owned by Canadian-based Coulson Aviation crashed in Fitzgerald River National Park in southern Western Australia state while fighting wildfires late Monday.
Both pilots received only minor injuries even though the plane was engulfed in flames and smoke upon impact, Emergency Services Minister Stephen Dawson said.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s nothing short of miraculous that they were able to walk away from that plane,&rdquo; Dawson told reporters.
The men, believed to be Canadian citizens, were released from a hospital on Tuesday, Australian Associated Press reported.
Three American aviators died when a C-130 Hercules tanker, a four-propeller plane also owned by Coulson Aviation, crashed in the east coast state of New South Wales while fighting wildfires in January 2020.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the nation&rsquo;s crash investigator, said Monday's crash was the first serious accident involving a Boeing 737 in Australia.
The plane crashed shortly after dumping its load of water with additives in turbulent conditions.
Coulson Aviation is sending executives to Sydney.
Crash investigator Angus Mitchell said it was too early to suggest any link between the two Coulson Aviation crashes or wider implications for Boeing 737 passenger aircraft.
The plane had taken off from an airport 500 kilometers (300 miles) away.
It was the plane's second retardant drop on an out-of-control wildfire near the coastal town of Hopetoun.
