North Korea will likely request Russian technology transfers relating to tactical nuclear weapons, the advancement of North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles, reconnaissance satellites and nuclear submarines, Kim said, speaking through a translator alongside Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The US independently confirmed for the first time last week that thousands of North Korean troops had been sent to Russia for military training. A small number of North Korean troops are already in Ukraine, CNN reported on Tuesday, and officials are growing increasingly concerned that the forces will enter into combat alongside Russian troops. “The evidence now suggests that North Korea has sent around 10,000 soldiers to train in eastern Russia,” Austin said on Wednesday. But he did say that South Korean military analysts could be deployed to observe the North Koreans fighting the Russians to gain more insight into North Korea’s military readiness.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — After four failed attempts, the U.N. Security Council is trying for a fifth time to come up with a resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, but it remains to be seen whether serious divisions can be overcome to produce a consensus on wording. The current draft under negotiation would demand “immediate extended humanitarian pauses” throughout the Gaza Strip to provide civilians with desperately needed aid. The 15-member council, which has the responsibility for maintaining international peace and security, has been paralyzed since the war began by its internal divisions. But unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding, though they are a barometer of world opinion. Of the five veto-holding Security Council members, Russia, China and France voted in favor, the United States voted against and the United Kingdom abstained.

Moscow CNN —Some Russians greeted the weekend’s armed insurrection led by the head of the Wagner paramilitary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, with sympathy, appearing to welcome the mercenary fighters. Roman Romokhov/AFP/Getty ImagesLocals were also seen booing police cars that arrived as the Wagner fighters vacated Rostov-on-Don on Saturday, in an abrupt de-escalation. Over the weekend, checkpoints had been set up on Moscow’s outskirts, and residents braced for Wagner fighters to enter. Maxim Shemetov/Reuters“It was really uneasy yesterday,” Moscow resident Andrey told Reuters, “But look now, people are walking in the streets and it’s all good. But that sentiment runs counter to the messaging from the Kremlin, which has painted Prigozhin and his Wagner fighters as traitors to Russia.

Police arrived at the rental house in Moscow, Idaho, where four University of Idaho students had been fatally stabbed hours prior in their bedrooms, to find friends and neighbors gathered outside. The neighborhood was “very, very somber.”The small police force scrambled for an “all hands on deck” response, which Lanier said included calling the Idaho State Police for help to process the scene. “We get tips every day that are viable.”While a lack of information about the killer has caused anxiety, public officials are asking for patience. Rep. Brandon Mitchell, a Republican who represents Moscow in the Idaho State Legislature, said he tells constituents to have faith in the police and avoid being speculative. City officials, including members of the Moscow City Council, praised Fry after his Nov. 16 news conference.

“You have to sample them all and analyze them all to see if they belong to victims or a suspect. The Moscow killings occurred in a three-story, six-bedroom rented house, about a half-block from the University of Idaho campus. The apartment house in Moscow, Idaho, where four students were stabbed to death held an enormous amount of biological evidence, experts say. “So, who could have left that DNA evidence? Before getting answers about DNA, investigators seek clues in the location of blood.

Police investigating the grisly killings of four University of Idaho students are walking back a prior statement, now saying it is not known if the residence or its occupants were "specifically targeted." Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were found fatally stabbed at an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, and the killings remain a mystery. On Wednesday, the Moscow Police Department said this was a “miscommunication.”“Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate,” police said. Flowers are left at a makeshift memorial honoring four slain University of Idaho students in Moscow, Idaho. Such unclear answers may have given whoever fatally stabbed the students more time to flee, law enforcement experts say.

The police chief in Moscow, Idaho, told local residents to stay vigilant and aware of their surroundings while a suspect for the killing of four students remains at large. Police said a suspect remains at large in Moscow, Idaho, three days after the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. “We do not have a suspect at this time, and that individual is still out there,” Moscow Police Chief James Fry said at a news conference on Wednesday.

"One of the best defenses to this matter is to delay, delay, delay." New York Attorney General Letitia James speaks during a press conference in New York on Sept. 21, 2022. "The core of that argument is the financial statements that were relied upon by these banks were marked as non-audited financials," Levin said. They know how to read these financial statements." "It's going to be very difficult to overcome some of that," Levin said of the inflated financial statements.
