Kim Jong Un Wants Donald Trump Back, Élite Defector Tells BBC | BBC News
Aug 2, 2024 | Donald Trump returning to the White House would be “a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity” for North Korea, according to Ri Il Kyu - one of the highest-ranking defectors.
Mr Ri escaped North Korea in 2016 and has since been face to face with Kim Jong Un on seven separate occasions. He says that North Korea still views Mr Trump as someone it can negotiate with over its nuclear weapons programme, despite talks between him and Kim Jong Un breaking down in 2019.
In his first interview with an international broadcaster, Mr Ri provides a rare understanding of what one of the world’s most secretive and repressive states is hoping to achieve.

‘I Can’t Stand Being Cold’: Older People on Losing Winter Fuel Payments
THE GUARDIAN: Some pensioners plan to cut back on heating after government removes benefit entitlement for nearly 10 million people
Preston Cox, 70, is worried about fuel debt this winter. After checking his entitlement to benefits, he learned that he is among the 9.9 million pensioners who no longer qualify for the winter fuel payment after the government announced it was restricting it in England and Wales.
Campaigners have warned that this figure includes up to 2 million struggling older people who could lose out on up to £300 a year after the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, limited the payment to only the poorest pensioners. » | Clea Skopeliti and Mabel Banfield-Nwachi | Friday, August 2, 2024

‘Humongous’ Fort Found in Wales May Disprove Theory of Celtic-Roman Peace
THE GUARDIAN: Site in Pembrokeshire suggests area was more militarised than previously thought, says expert who made discovery

A previously unknown Roman fort discovered in Pembrokeshire in Wales overturns assumptions that the area’s indigenous Celtic tribe was on peaceful terms with the Roman invaders.
The site, which has excited archaeologists, had been hidden until now beneath an enormous, overgrown field. It explains why the land had been unsuccessful for farming: the farmer kept hitting stone.
The discovery was made by Dr Mark Merrony, a leading Roman specialist and tutor at Oxford University, who said: “It is a humongous fort, an incredible find of national importance.”
He is all the more excited because it is right next to a Roman road that he has also identified for the first time. » | Dalya Alberge | Friday, August 2, 2024

Isabel Oakeshott & Richard Tice Get an Earful from Lord Heseltine
It’s a pity that greenhorns like Isabel Oakshott and Richard Tice don’t listen to Lord Heseltine’s words of wisdom. Lord Heseltine was one of the very best Tories ever! And he’s a Welshman. We wouldn’t be in the mess we are in today if people had listened to the likes of Lord Heseltine instead of listening to the cowboys and cowgirls in politics and journalism! – © Mark Alexander

Police in England Urged to Protect Mosques as Far Right Plans More Rallies
THE GUARDIAN: Fears asylum seeker accommodation may come under threat from ‘mindless thuggery’ of agitators
Police forces have been urged to step up patrols outside mosques and asylum seeker accommodation amid plans for at least 19 far-right rallies across England in coming days.
Violent demonstrations have spread from Southport to London, Hartlepool, Manchester and Aldershot after the stabbing atrocity at a children’s holiday club on Monday.
Community leaders on Thursday said they were increasingly fearful of further unrest after mosques and asylum seeker accommodation were targeted by crowds of “intimidating” agitators. » | Josh Halliday and Neha Gohil | Thursday, August 1, 2024

Elon Musk Blasts Venezuela’s Maduro in an Escalating War of Words
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Mr. Musk, who has long criticized leftist politicians, called President Nicolás Maduro a “dictator” and compared him to a donkey.
“Let’s go for it, Elon Musk,” said President Nicolás Maduro, shown on Wednesday during a news conference in Caracas. | Alejandro Cegarra for The New York Times
Over the last four days, Elon Musk has spoken out more than 50 times about President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela — and the comments have been far from flattering.
“Shame on Dictator Maduro,” Mr. Musk wrote on X on Sunday, as results came in from Venezuela’s presidential election, which has been criticized as deeply flawed. The next morning, Mr. Musk posted that there had been “major election fraud by Maduro.” Since then, the world’s richest man has also compared Mr. Maduro to a donkey and suggested that he would be open to fighting the autocratic leader in hand-to-hand combat.
Mr. Musk, the 53-year-old chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, has often criticized heads of state, including President Biden, on X. But the attacks against Mr. Maduro, who is one of the prominent symbols of the left in Latin America, stood out for their sudden volume and aggression.
They were part of a pattern by Mr. Musk of denouncing leftist ideals and socialism. In Venezuela, he has said, he sees a failed state with a collapsed economy that he blames on the corruption of leftist politicians. In some of his posts, Mr. Musk, who has endorsed former President Donald J. Trump in the U.S. presidential race, suggested that the United States could become like Venezuela if voters backed the Democratic Party in November. » | Ryan Mac and Simon Romero.
