Zelenskyy said last month that 11,000 North Korean troops were in Russia’s western Kursk region and had already sustained “losses”. Washington and Seoul have accused Pyongyang of sending more than 10,000 soldiers to help Moscow, after Russia and North Korea signed a landmark defence pact this summer. North Korea and Russia have strengthened their military ties since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Taken by surprise by the Kursk incursion, Russia has since steadily clawed back territory, halting Ukraine’s advance and rushing reinforcements to the region. A Ukrainian army source told AFP last month Kyiv still controlled 800 square…

Aghasi added that he has not been able to meet with Valizadeh since the verdict was issued. “Valizadeh’s punishment for the crime of…
The Cubs are one of the teams who have spoken to the Mariners about Luis Castillo’s trade availability, according to Ryan Divish and Adam Jude of the Seattle Times. The depth of Chicago’s interest isn’t known, nor is this interest still existing now that the Cubs have already swung a blockbuster deal to land Kyle Tucker from the Astros. Castillo also has a no-trade clause in his contract, so he could veto things entirely if he isn’t interested in going to Chicago.Since the Cubs were known to be looking for pitching, however, it would make sense that they would at least check in…

She…
It seems to me that every item in the Computer History Museum’s collection has a biography of sorts—a life before CHM, a tale about how it came to us, and a life within the museum. The chapters of that biography include the uses made of it, and the historical and interpretive stories it can be made to tell. This then is a biography of one item that recently entered the museum’s collection—an early Memorex videotape containing a recording from 1968—and the historical discovery it has afforded. Our biography begins in May 2020, with an email. Debra Dunlop, a dean at…
The writer, an FT contributing editor, is chief executive of the Royal Society of Arts and former chief economist at the Bank of EnglandThe world is more diverse and interwoven than ever before — economically, culturally, ethnically, generationally. This is largely the result of the postwar explosion in cross-border flows of goods and money, people and information. For much of that period, the benefits of globalisation were taken for granted and garnered widespread popular and political support. Those days are gone. The question now being asked is whether increased economic openness and connection are a source of fragility rather than flourishing, economically…
