#NorthKorea #Dongchang #NorthPyongan #Fire #MissleBase

On November 10, a forest fire that erupted near the North Korean missile base in Dongchang Village, Cholsan County, North Pyongan Province incinerated a hillside and forced local villagers to evacuate,
Recently, North Korea has made avoiding forest fires a big national priority. In reality, on Nov. 11, Rodong Sinmun reported that the work for forest conservation and forest fire prevention has turned into a patriotic one for all people [sic]."
In particular, during a meeting of the State Affairs Commission in April, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un set up a new forestry policy management bureau, showing a willingness to set forestry policy on his own.
The source pointed out that Cholsan County is home to North Korea’s No. 2 Missile Launch Site and testing facility, along with major air force bases, so local party, government and military organizations fully mobilized themselves to put out the blaze.
Local residents were also mass-mobilized to beat back the fire. “A vehicle with a loudspeaker began broadcasting in Cholsan on the night of Nov. 10, and then the authorities began encouraging all residents in the county to take active part in putting out the fire on local TV."
The reasone for the forest fire is unclear atm no one got punished for this incident. The missle base didnt got dameged as locals were ordered to put out the fires wich destroyed big parts of the forest. Trees were planted 8 years ago and last year

Has the Pakistani government given in to the demands of fundamentalist Muslims and will now boycott French products and expel the French ambassador?
Leaders of the Islamist party Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) claimed this success on Tuesday in the dispute over the "Mohammed cartoons" as well as statements by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The government in Islamabad has signed a pledge officially in favor of a boycott of French products, a TLP spokesman said on Tuesday. An official confirmation from the government was still pending on Tuesday afternoon.

#Thailand #Bangkok #Protest

At protest rallies in front of the parliament in the Thai capital Bangkok, against the powers of the royal family and the military, at least 55 people were injured in the course of clashes between government critics and the police.
According to a clinic in the city, at least 32 of them were suffering from the effects of tear gas, and six people had gunshot wounds. The anti-government protesters are demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and amendments to the constitution,
which goes back to Chan-o-cha's military rule. A new constitution would be the 21st constitution of the country since the end of the Absolute Monarchy in 1932 in Siam (today Thailand). King Rama X is far less popular than his father, King Bhumibol, who died in 2016.

#EU #USA #Brussels #Trade

The EU states have given the green light for the so-called Hummer deal with the USA. "As a step to improve transatlantic trade relations, the EU will abolish tariffs on lobster imports," said the Council of Member States.
In return, US surcharges on EU products such as ready meals, crystal glass and lighters will decrease. The agreement, which the Council calls a "mini tariff package", is "the first tariff reduction between the EU and the US in two decades".
According to the EU Council, EU exports, which are now cheaper to export to the USA, are worth around 160 million US dollars per year. Future duty-free US imports of "live and frozen lobster products" amount to $ 111 million.

The Palestinian Authority plans to restore relations after breaking with the Israeli government in May. "We will resume contacts with the Israelis on financial, health and political issues," said Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtajjeh.
The decision was made because there had been "official written and oral" commitments in which Israel had confirmed that it would comply with the agreements that existed before the announcement of the annexation plans in the West Bank, which have since been overturned.
As reported by local media, Shtajjeh received a corresponding paper from Israel. "That is why we are announcing the resumption of contacts." The Israeli government did not initially comment on the resumption of relations.

#Germany #Berlin #Neuköln

In the fight against clan crime, the mayor of Berlin's Neukölln district advocates new ways of providing evidence. "The worst signal we can give is that it is worth becoming a criminal," said SPD politician Martin Hikel.
He is facing illegally obtained money for a reversal of the burden of proof. By this, Hikel means, for example: someone who moves into Hartz IV may have to prove where they got the money for an expensive villa.
It must be prevented that money obtained criminally comes into the legal economic cycle. Neukölln is a focal point of clan crime and on Tuesday was one of the scenes of a raid in connection with the art theft in the Green Vault in Dresden.
