North Korean leader Kim Jong ‌Un said exercising the country’s position as a nuclear state is the only way to cope with an unpredictable and complicated global security situation, KCNA state news agency reported on Tuesday. “Unimaginable, astonishing incidents and events” are occurring because of the “gangster-like” greed of hegemonic forces, making confrontations around the world more violent, Kim said, blaming the US for worsening bloodshed in Europe and the Middle East. He was speaking at a Central Committee meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party, running from Saturday to Monday, KCNA said.

World Cup 2026: Tournament kicks off under shadow of politics and restrictions Submitted by Shaheryar Mirza on Thu, 06/11/2026 - 14:33 As this year's edition of the global competition gets underway, it is rife with barriers to entry and fears that fans will have to worry about more than team's performances People walk past a mural with political messages ahead of the match in Mexico City, Mexico, on 10 June 2026 (Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters) Off The world's most prestigious sporting event kicks off on Thursday, but for many it's a moment where the beautiful game meets the ugly realities of visa restrictions, price gouging and political interference.  The first match of the tournament will take place between host country Mexico and 2010 host South Africa, followed by South Korea taking on Czechia.  The Canada-US leg of the tournament starts Friday afternoon, with Canada facing Bosnia and Herzegovina and the US taking on Paraguay later in the evening. The US will host 78 out of 104 matches, with Canada and Mexico allotted 15 each. Despite Mexico's smaller footprint during the tournament, its opening ceremony could not escape the politicised landscape, with thousands of protesters descending on the Estadio Ciudad de Mexico ahead of the opening match.

Eight more South Korean ships exit Hormuz, ministry says Eight additional South Korean vessels have departed the Strait of Hormuz as security concerns persist in the strategic waterway, Reuters, citing South Korea's oceans ministry, reported.  The latest departures come after Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority warned ships against using unauthorised routes through the strait and the UN's International Maritime Organisation suspended its escort programme following a suspected attack on a cargo vessel near Oman. The incident pushed global oil prices about 2 percent higher, renewing concerns over the security of one of the world's busiest energy shipping lanes.

China, the world's largest source of carbon dioxide, has changed the way it calculates its carbon intensity, resulting in a half-hearted increase in carbon dioxide emissions between 2020 and 2025. This conclusion was made by researchers from the Center for the Study of Energy and Clean Air (CREA), who prepared a report for the publication Carbon Brief. According to the latest data of the five-year plan on carbon intensity (volume of carbon dioxide per unit of GDP), extrapolated to absolute emissions, they grew by 7% in five years.
