Nuclear-armed North Korea launched the satellite on Tuesday, but South Korean defence officials and analysts said its capabilities have not been independently verified. Kim examined photos of Seoul and other cities of Mokpo, Kunsan, Pyeongtaek and Osan, where U.S. and South Korean military bases are located. The photos were taken as the satellite passed over the peninsula on Friday morning, state news agency KCNA said. On Saturday, Kim visited the control centre once again to examine more photos taken in the morning of different target regions in South Korea: Jinhae, Busan, Ulsan, Pohang, Daegu and Gangneung. On Thursday, South Korean Defence Minister Shin Won-sik said North Korea had "exaggerated" by saying Kim had already viewed images of Guam.

Chogo/Xinhua/Getty ImagesAs well as boasting the longest network of high-speed lines in the world, China now has the fastest scheduled trains on the planet. A statement of intent by China’s booming railway technology industry, the Fuxing trains have been developed from previous generations of high-speed trains, which were based on technology imported from Europe and Japan. The design also forms the basis of the Siemens “Velaro” family of high-speed trains, which has been sold to Spain, Russia, Turkey, China and to Eurostar for its second generation international trains. Europe’s first dedicated high-speed network is still its best known and most successful, reaching out well beyond France’s borders. Frecciarossa services operate across Italy’s T-shaped high-speed network, linking Turin, Milan and Venice in the north with Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples.

Sursa foto: ProfimediaPapa Francisc ar putea vizita Coreea de Nord; Ar fi prima vizită a unui papă în țara condusă de Kim Jong UnŞeful serviciului de informaţii sud-coreean a declarat că lucrează la o posibilă vizită a Papei Francisc în Coreea de Nord, informează o agenţie de ştiri catolică asociată cu Vaticanul, potrivit Reuters, citat de Agerpres. Fides, agenţia oficială de ştiri a misiunilor pontificale, a relatat că Park Jie-won a făcut acest anunţ luni, la o slujbă din Mokpo, în Coreea de Sud. Joi, o persoană care a răspuns la telefon la biserica unde Park Jie-won a participat la slujbă a confirmat prezenţa sa, dar nu şi comentariile vehiculate. În 2018, preşedintele sud-coreean Moon Jae-in a transmis verbal o invitaţie din partea liderului nord-coreean Kim Jong Un către Papa Francisc. Purtătorul de cuvânt al Vaticanului, Matteo Bruni, a spus că aceasta este singura călătorie a Suveranului Pontif care este pe agendă în prezent.
