SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed to implement the “toughest” anti-U.S. policy, state media reported Sunday, less than a month before Donald Trump takes office as U.S. president. Trump’s return to the White House raises prospects for high-profile diplomacy with North Korea. During his first term, Trump met Kim three times for talks on the North's nuclear program. Many experts however say a quick resumption of Kim-Trump summitry is unlikely as Trump would first focus on conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. North Korea's support for Russia's war against Ukraine also poses a challenge to efforts to revive diplomacy, experts say. During a five-day plenary meeting of the ruling Workers’ Party that ended Friday, Kim called the U.S. “the most reactionary state that regards anti-communism as its invariable state policy.” Kim said that the U.S.-South Korea-Japan security partnership is expanding into “a nuclear military bloc for aggression." “This reality clearly shows to which direction we should advance and what we should do and how,” Kim said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency. It said Kim's speech “clarified the strategy for the toughest anti-U.S. counteraction to be launched aggressively” by North Korea for its long-term national interests and security. KCNA didn't elaborate on the anti-U.S. strategy. But it said Kim set forth tasks to bolster military capability through defense technology advancements and stressed the need to improve the mental toughness of North Korean soldiers. The previous meetings between Trump and Kim had not only put an end to their exchanges of fiery rhetoric and threats of destruction, but they developed personal connections. Trump once famously said he and Kim “fell in love.” But their talks eventually collapsed in 2019, as they wrangled over U.S.-led sanctions on the North. North Korea has since sharply increased the pace of its weapons testing activities to build more reliable nuclear missiles targeting the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. and South Korea have responded by expanding their military bilateral drills and also trilateral ones involving Japan, drawing strong rebukes from the North, which views such U.S.-led exercises as invasion rehearsals. Further complicating efforts to convince North Korea to abandon its nuclear weapons in return for economic and political benefits is its deepening military cooperation with Russia. According to U.S., Ukrainian and South Korean assessments, North Korea has sent more than 10,000 troops and conventional weapons systems to support Moscow's war against Ukraine. There are concerns that Russia could give North Korea advanced weapons technology in return, including help to build more powerful nuclear missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that 3,000 North Korean troops have been killed and wounded in the fighting in Russia's Kursk region. It was the first significant estimate by Ukraine of North Korean casualties since the North Korean troop deployment to Russia began in October. Russia and China, locked in separate disputes with the U.S., have repeatedly blocked U.S.-led pushes to levy more U.N. sanctions on North Korea despite its repeated missile tests in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Last month, Kim said that his past negotiations with the United States only confirmed Washington’s “unchangeable” hostility toward his country and described his nuclear buildup as the only way to counter external threats.AI technology has advised Ruben Amorim to stick with four at the back when Manchester United face Ipswich Town on Sunday (November 24). The Portuguese tactician will oversee his first game in charge of the Red Devils at Portman Road, and fans are intrigued to see whether he'll implement his favoured 3-4-3 formation. PLAIER was founded by Jan Wendt, Tim Schröder, and Johnny Wilkinson and is used to analyse a football team's best-suited lineup for victory. The AI technology takes into consideration squad fitness and available players. According to GIVEMESPORT's Ben Jacobs, it ran 1,000 match simulations between United and Ipswich , with the Reds using a 4-4-2 or 3-4-3 formation. The 4-4-2 formation has a higher chance of victory (73.4%) than Amorim's trusted 3-4-3 (67.8%). It also has a higher xG of 2.05 over 1.95. It's intriguing heading into Sunday's clash as many anticipate the Red Devils' new head coach will start with three in defence. In his first interview as Manchester United's head coach, Amorim suggested freshening up the team with his own ideas. He promised fans they would 'see an idea' of his philosophy against the Tractor Boys. Ruben Amorim's preferred formation is 3-4-3, with progressive wing-backs. Who Features in AI-Dictated Manchester United XI PLAIER also gave the two lineups Amorim should use with both formations in mind, and it makes for interesting reading. Kobbie Mainoo doesn't feature in either lineup as he continues to recover from injury, although he was back in training this week. The 4-4-2 formation has many notable absentees, including Marcus Rashford . Luke Shaw returns to the lineup, and Mason Mount is used in an attacking role. Amorim has already hinted that the former Chelsea attacker will be an important player for him . Manchester United have used four at the back throughout history, including during the Sir Alex Ferguson era. Seeing three central defenders on the pitch for the Red Devils seemed inconceivable. Yet, the disappointing run of form and performances under former manager Erik ten Hag came in a 4-3-3 formation. It failed to light up Old Trafford, and fans were left frustrated with a lack of playing identity under the Dutchman. Amorim impressed with his playing philosophy that leans on his 3-4-3 formation. Suppose we do get a glimpse at it in practice at Portman Road. In that case, PLAIER thinks it could come at a cost for the likes of Manuel Ugarte, who played under Amorim at Sporting CP , and Rasmus Hojlund , who many are backing to become United's Viktor Gyokeres . Antony is a surprise inclusion, given that United's second-all-time most expensive player has flopped at Old Trafford. He could be given a fresh start under Amorim, who may take to the Brazilian's doggedness but will need him to start living up to expectations amid a disastrous spell. Joshua Zirkzee is included in both XIs, and he'll be delighted if he's given an opportunity from the start. His last start came in a 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur (September 29) and he's managed just one goal in 11 games. Ipswich Town and Manchester United will go head-to-head in the Premier League at Portman Road on Sunday afternoon.download jiliko 。

Breaking Boundaries in Microbiology and Business: An Interview with Dr. Saloni Sharma

TEHRAN - The United States has thrown its full weight behind Israel since the regime launched its war of genocide on the Gaza Strip more than a year ago. The reaction of American politicians to arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the Israeli premier and his sacked war minister has also made it clear more than ever that Washington has no scruples about aiding and abetting the regime’s crimes. On Thursday, ICC pre-trial judges issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for committing war crimes, crimes against humanity and using starvation as a method of warfare among other inhumane acts. The majority of US politicians regardless of their affiliation with the Democratic or Republican parties expressed outrage at the Hague-based tribunal. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden whose party lost the November election to Republican Donald Trump called the ICC’s move “outrageous”. The White House spokeswoman also questioned the court’s legitimacy which is based in the Netherlands. “We fundamentally reject the court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials. We remain deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision,” Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters. She reiterated Washington’s argument that the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israeli officials. Republicans took a step further. Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, called for sanctions on the ICC for its warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant. Then came the bombshell as Senator Tom Cotton suggested that the United States could invade Holland to protect Israeli officials from the ICC’s arrest warrants. “The ICC is a kangaroo court and Karim Khan is a deranged fanatic. Woe to him and anyone who tries to enforce these outlaw warrants. Let me give them all a friendly reminder: the American law on the ICC is known as The Hague Invasion Act for a reason. Think about it,” the Arkansas Republican wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. The Hague Invasion Act that was passed in 2002, was designed to shield US personnel from ICC jurisdiction. It authorizes military action to rescue any American or allied citizen held by the court in The Hague. In mid-October last year, Cotton condoned the Israeli massacres of Palestinians in Gaza saying, “As far as I’m concerned, Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza.” Cotton had also said Israel has “every right” to target schools, kindergartens, and mosques in Gaza. He had blamed Hamas for using these sites as military bases without providing any evidence to back up his claim. Israel has killed more than 44,000 Palestinians in Gaza since launching war on the enclave on October 7, 2023. Israel has also ignored a ruling issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that called on the regime to stop genocidal acts. The ICJ found in January this year that there was a risk of violation of the rights of the Palestinian people to protection from genocide. It ordered Israel to “take all measures within its power” to desist from killing Palestinians in contravention of the genocide convention, to prevent and punish the incitement of genocide, and to facilitate the provision of “urgent basic services”. Israel’s actions clearly indicate that it does not care a whit about international law. The United States’s attitude towards the ICC also amounts to a mockery of justice. The US has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the start of the Gaza onslaught. It has also vetoed four resolutions at the United Nations Security Council which called for establishing a ceasefire in Gaza. Irrespective of the US role in enabling the genocide in Gaza, the comments made by Cotton, who is funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), highlight the influence of the notorious Zionist lobbying group on the political landscape of America. Cotton’s threat of military action against the Dutch-based ICC also shows that the US considers its close Western allies as its vassals.
