President Donald Trump’s tweeted threat last fall that North Korea would be met with ‘fire and fury’ became the title of a new book. The book became a blockbuster. And now the man whom Trump threatened, North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un, is using Michael Wolff’s bestseller to strike back. The latest plot twist in what has been an epic war of words between Trump and Kim Jong Un came Thursday in the pages of North Korea’s main newspaper, which cited the po[CENSORED]rity of Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," as evidence of “rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments in the international community,” reports the Associated Press. “The anti-Trump book is sweeping all over the world so Trump is being massively humiliated worldwide,” crowed Kim’s paper, optimistically adding that strong sales of the book “foretells Trump’s political demise.” While Kim has been on the receiving end of Trump’s most colorful intercontinental insults, which have ranged from from ‘little rocket man’ to 'sick puppy,’ the Islamic Republic of Iran, a ‘murderous regime’ according to the president, is a close second. Apparently they’ve been reading Wolff’s work in Tehran too. On Wednesday the Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran’s state media, drew on Wolff’s work to make the case that Trump is unbalanced, and that the world should resist any U.S. effort to tear up the nuclear deal. “The promises and attempts made by the U.S. president in the first year of his presidency have been increasingly encouraging the idea that he has some sort of mental problem,” said the article. “Trump's pledge to rip up the July 2015 Iran nuclear deal is an example.” To the White House, books like "Fire and Fury," which press secretary Sarah Sanders called trash and “full of lies,” are damaging not only to the president but also to America’s national interests. No wonder then that Trump called for changes to U.S. libel laws. “If somebody says something that's totally false and knowingly false, that the person that has been abused, defamed, libeled will have meaningful recourse,” Trump said Thursday. “Our current libel laws are a sham and a disgrace, and do not represent American values or American fairness, so we're going to take a strong look at that. We want fairness.” And no surprise that his chief of staff, John Kelly, is cracking down on staff's use of private cell phones inside the White House in an effort to plug leaks that become books that become ammunition for America’s adversaries.

After reports broke of President Donald Trump's disparaging comments about Haiti and other African countries, the outrage overseas was swift -- with governments demanding to know what the president really said and whether the U.S. would apologize. 2 top American diplomats have been summoned by their host countries -- Earl Miller, the ambassador to Botswana, and Robin Diallo, the charge d'affaires to Haiti, the No. 2 in charge of the U.S. mission in the absence of an ambassador. These diplomats and their colleagues elsewhere face a difficult challenge in defending the U.S.'s commitment to their host country without outright denying what the president said -- something even the White House has not done, though Trump did deny he used "derogatory" language about Haitians in a tweet this morning. He did not, however, deny accounts from multiple sources either briefed on or familiar with the discussion who told ABC News the president's comments extended to African countries as well. White House appears unfazed by President Trump's 's---hole countries' comment Trump denies saying 'anything derogatory about Haitians' after 's---hole countries' remark Sources: Trump questions allowing immigrants from Haiti, Africa, other 's---hole' countries So what is the State Department advising? According to internal guidance obtained by ABC News, the department is telling its diplomats to "reiterate that we have great respect for the people of Africa and all nations and our commitment remains strong." "Each Charge or Ambassador should note what a great honor it is to be in their post and how much they value the relationship with the people of the nation they are representing (use nation’s name),” the guidance reads. Undersecretary of State Steve Goldstein said as much to reporters, telling diplomats to listen first to the concerns of the host country’s government before emphasizing that the U.S’s commitment to the country hasn’t wavered. “Will they have to work extra hard? Yes, but that’s OK -– it doesn’t change what we do,” said Goldstein. “Our diplomats are committed to the nations they are serving and care deeply about the people.” He added: “The president has the right to say whatever he chooses. That’s the advantage of being president. But we have an obligation to the people of that country –- that hasn’t changed. Nothing has changed.” If a country asks for confirmation –- did the president of the U.S. say what he is reported to have said –- then U.S. diplomats “will report that back to Washington and we’ll provide appropriate guidance should that occur,” Goldstein said, declining to elaborate further. There was some speculation Friday that the comments had already led to one diplomat's resignation after news broke that the U.S. ambassador to Panama John Feeley had stepped down from his post. But Feeley -- a senior Foreign Service officer, retired Marine helicopter pilot and “one of the Department's leading Latin America specialists,” according to the State Department -- submitted his resignation on Dec. 27. In his purported resignation letter, obtained by Reuters, Feeley pointed to Trump as his reason for leaving. “As a junior Foreign Service officer, I signed an oath to serve faithfully the president and his administration in an apolitical fashion, even when I might not agree with certain policies. My instructors made clear that if I believed I could not do that, I would be honor bound to resign. That time has come,” Feeley said, according to the news agency. Goldstein would not confirm the letter, saying only that Feeley left for “personal reasons,” but said if the letter is authentic, Feeley is entitled to his decision. “Everyone has a line that they will not cross. If the ambassador feels that he can no longer serve ... then he has made the right decision for himself and we respect that,” Goldstein said.

hehehe bad luck

Before the sun rose on the first day of 2018, someone called 911 to report the charred, bullet-riddled body of a man with a snake-like tattoo on his left hand, lying beside a road in the Puerto Rican town of Vega Baja. The next day, two men were found dead with their feet and hands bound in Bayamon, a working-class city southwest of the capital. Another man was shot to death before dawn in nearby Vega Baja while trying to stop thieves from stealing his generator. Thirty-two people have been slain in Puerto Rico in the first 11 days of the year, double the number killed over the same period in 2017. If the surge proves to be more than just a temporary blip, January could be the most homicidal month on the island in at least two years, adding a dangerous new element to the island's recovery from Hurricane Maria, its worst disaster in decades. While the number of homicides did not immediately spike in the weeks after the hurricane struck on Sept. 20, police and independent experts say many killings appear at least partly related to its aftereffects. The storm has plunged much of the island into darkness, increased economic hardship and contributed to a sickout by police, all fueling lawlessness. What's more, officials say a turf war has broken out among drug gangs looking to grab territory after the storm's disruption. "Hurricanes affect everyone, including criminals," said criminologist Jose Raul Cepeda. Already bankrupt, the island's overwhelmed government has fallen behind with millions of dollars in overtime payments owed to police officers, who have begun calling in sick in big numbers to protest. The sickout has taken about 2,000 police off the street each day in a territory that has 13,600 officers. It has forced more than a dozen police stations to close for several hours to a couple of days during the holiday period because of a lack of officers. No arrests have been made in the 32 killings this year. Maria, which hit as a Category 4 storm, destroyed much of the island's electrical grid. For those police on duty, the streets are darker and more dangerous because power has been restored to only 60 percent of customers in the U.S. territory. Drug gangs are fighting to re-establish territory they lost in the disruption from Maria, which pushed thousands from their homes and left entire neighborhoods uninhabitable for weeks. Police Chief Michelle Hernandez resigned Monday after only a year on the job, and local and federal authorities are rushing from meeting to meeting to debate how to best protect 3.3 million Puerto Ricans, especially those still living in the dark. "This has been devastating," said Ramon Santiago, a retiree who lives less than a block from where three bodies were discovered Sunday near a basketball court. "You can't sleep peacefully in so much darkness." Puerto Rico's homicide rate is roughly 20 killings per 100,000 residents, compared with 3.7 per 100,000 residents on the U.S. mainland. In the last two years, Puerto Rico has seen an average of 56 homicides a month, a rate that held through December. Then after New Year's, the killings started accelerating. A man was shot Jan. 3 by a security guard while trying to rob a bakery. Two double homicides were reported Jan. 8 — two men found shot to death in a car near an upscale resort on the north coast and two other men discovered sprawled on the street near a public housing complex on the west coast. Five killings alone were reported Monday, in addition to three people wounded by gunfire during a shootout that night in the parking lot of a strip mall in Bayamon. This week, police say, the son of a former judge was killed after trying to write down the license plate number of a car whose occupants were firing a gun. "The lack of police is increasing Puerto Rico's safety issues," said legislator Denis Marquez, who was mugged at gunpoint last month. "Everybody is feeling that insecurity." Besides policing and getting the lights back on, he said, the government needs to address long-standing issues such as social inequality on an island with a 10 percent unemployment rate, where nearly 45 percent of its inhabitants lived in poverty before the hurricane. More immediately, the post-storm conditions have fueled a deadly struggle over drug gang territory, said Fernando Soler, vice president of a police officers' advocacy group. "There's a war over the control for drugs," he told The Associated Press. "They are taking advantage of all the situations occurring in Puerto Rico. There's no power and they believe there's a lack of police officers. ... Criminals are taking care of business that was pending before the hurricane." Inspector Elexis Torres heads a unit that is investigating eight homicides in a jurisdiction that includes the working-class city of Carolina near Puerto Rico's north coast, bordering the island's main airport. One of Puerto Rico's largest cities with nearly 160,000 people, Carolina had the triple homicide reported Sunday; a motel employee and a friend were found slain Tuesday in neighboring Trujillo Alto. Like nearly all the killings this year, they involve men in their 20s who were shot to death. Torres said he suspects both cases are drug related. He worries the number of killings will only increase as criminal gangs enter into cycles of revenge. "Those victims likely belonged to some organization," Torres said of the triple homicide. "This can have consequences." Cepeda, the criminologist, said drug traffickers have been entering rival territories to increase sales and recover losses after the storm disrupted their business. Hurricane Maria caused an estimated $95 billion in damage, with 30,000-plus jobs lost in an economy that was already struggling from an 11-year-old recession. The last time Puerto Rico saw a spike in violent crime was in 2011, when a record 1,136 killings were reported on an island of nearly 4 million people. Puerto Rico had seen a drop in killings, to 700 in 2016 and 679 last year. Hector Pesquera, secretary of the newly created Department of Public Safety, met this week with top police officials and federal authorities. "We're in a process of analysis and of committed work to fight criminality in Puerto Rico," he said. I apologise for 5 paragraphs

Massive protests and riots rocked Pakistan's Kasur, a city located in the Punjab state near the Indian border, over the rape and murder of a seven-year-old minor girl, whose body was found buried in garbage, Pakistani media reported. Protesters, angry over what they believe is police inaction in the girl's rape and murder, stormed the streets demonstrating outside government buildings over what Pakistani media said was the 12th such crime in Kasur in the last one year. A Dawn report said that two people had died in clashes with police and other security personnel. The two deaths were due to gunshot wounds, Dawn reported and quoted the Punjab government as saying that six people, including four policemen, were arrested for opening fire on protestors. I want justice! I want justice! - Zainab's mother According to a The Express Tribune report, the death of two people in police firing further exacerbated the already tense situation in Kasur. "We just want justice for Zainab," a protester was quoted as saying by The Express Tribune. "We are not here to hurt anyone. I don't know why the police opened fire." Zainab is the seven-year-old girl who was found dead earlier this week. A post-mortem confirmed that she was raped before being strangled to death, Dawn reported. WHAT HAPPENED Zainab Ansari, the minor girl whose death ignited protests, was reported missing last week, news agency Reuters reported. Soon after she went missing, CCTV footage of the girl being led away by a suspect went viral on social media, said a Dawn report. Zainab's body was finally discovered on Tuesday in a garbage dump. Police said Zainab was strangled to death and an autopsy later revealed that she had been raped before being murdered. The rape and murder case, the 12th such incident in the region, led to massive protests. The protests were mainly centred on the allegation that the police was lax in investigating such crimes. Cops, however, have sought to reject the criticism. "We have got CCTV footage that shows a young man taking her along. We will catch him very soon," a police officer was quoted as saying by Reuters. ZAINAB LAID TO REST On Wednesday, Zainab was laid to rest even as massive and violent protests and riots rocked Kasur. The city's streets were filled "stench of burning tyres", an Express Tribune report said. A dramatic but unverified video on social media showed policemen firing directly at the protesters even as an unidentified person - believed to be a police officer - shouted at the personnel to fire in the air instead. A Video viral today purports to show Punjab Police opening straight fire on protesters demanding justice for Zainab, at least 2 killed — Khalid khi January 10, 2018. The Zainab case also prompted the powerful Pakistan military to issue a statement. "COAS [Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, condemns cold blooded murder of innocent Zainab. Responding to appeal by the aggrieved parents to COAS, directs immediate all out support to civil administration to arrest the criminals and bringing them to exemplary justice," the military's spokesperson Major General Asif Gafoor said in a tweet. Meanwhile, tweets expressing outrage over Zainab's rape and murder poured in from all over the country with #JusticeForZainab becoming the hashtag of choice on the micro-blogging platform. Zainab should have been tucked in bed, cozy and safe. Yet she was abducted, raped, murdered and left alone in a heap of garbage . How can anyone ever make sense of this inhumane act. Endless prayers for this little angel. #JusticeForZainab Maheen Taseer january 10, 2018 Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi was among those who commented on Twitter. "Shocked, Disgusted and feeling sick to the core! What a shameful day for us, Zainab's killers must not only be hanged, they should be given such exemplary punishment that people should remember the lessson for ever. Pakistan rulers we're waiting for action!" Afridi said. Cricket-turned-politician Imran Khan too spoke on the rape and murder. "The condemnable & horrific rape & murder of little Zainab exposes once again how vulnerable our children are in our society. This is not the first time such horrific acts have happened. We have to act swiftly to punish the guilty & ensure that our children are better protected," he said. The condemnable & horrific rape & murder of little Zainab exposes once again how vulnerable our children are in our society. This is not the first time such horrific acts have happened. We have to act swiftly to punish the guilty & ensure that our children are better protected. Imran Khan January 10, 2018 As the girl was finally laid to rest on Wednesday, the rapist(s) and murder(s) were yet to be traced with police expressing confidence they would soon solve the case.
