The newly released US Nuclear Posture Review says Kim Jong Un’s regime would be annihilated if it ever attacked with nuclear weapons. Another major drill began yesterday with hundreds of South Korean and US warplanes, including a rare deployment of American F-35B fighters. A TV broadcasting a news report on North Korea firing a ballistic missile towards the sea off its east coast, in Seoul, South Korea, Sept 25, 2022. “Normalising combined drills strengthens readiness and publicising them again is intended to deter North Korea and reassure the South Korean people,” Kim said. “They’re doing it because they want to send a message to North Korea, hey, we mean business,” he said.

"A number of people fell during a Halloween festival, and we have a large number of casualties," Choi said. Social media footage showed hundreds of people packed in the narrow, sloped alley crushed and immobile as emergency officials and police tried to pull them free. Choi, the Yongsan district fire chief, said all the deaths were likely from the crush in the single narrow alley.

Biden and Xi clash over Taiwan in Bali but Cold War fears cool

In a statement after their meeting, Xi called Taiwan the "first red line" that must not be crossed in US-China relations, Chinese state media said.

"Well, first of all, it's difficult to say that I am certain that China can control North Korea," he said. "We would have to take certain actions that would be more defensive on our behalf... to send a clear message to North Korea. "It's just great to see you," Biden told Xi, as he put an arm around him before their meeting.
