'Wipe out North Korean regime' Top US advisor issues CHILLING warning of Trump's NEXT step

  John Bolton, who remains a top US security advisor, said the world only had one play left in dealing This follows remarks from US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and the South Korean Government that diplomatic efforts have not been exhausted yet.

However, Mr Bolton claimed that sanctions had no impact on Kim Jong-uns regime and one way or another the leadership will have to be toppled.

Speaking to Fox News, Mr Bolton said that US President Donald Trump should now focus on persuading China that wiping out the was in their national interest.

He told the US broadcaster: These threats will only grow worse next year, especially with both China and Russia trying to two-time us this week.  I don't think North Korea will ever voluntary give up their nuclear programme.

Enormous pressure through sanctions has not slowed down the regime at all. This is a prison-camp of an economy, its people live desperate lives - but theres been no impact on the nuclear tests.  There is one diplomatic play left here.

You cannot coerce China into this, but you can persuade them that their national interest requires getting rid of this regime. Reunification of the peninsula is the way to go but there may be other options.

As long as this regime stays in place, you will have a nuclear threat, not just in Asia, but they are capable of selling it to anyone around the world - be it Iran, ISIS, Al Qaeda..

According to state-run reports in the regime has stated their commitment to the countrys nuclear development in 2018 North Korea will continue bolstering the capabilities for self-defence and preemptive attack with the nuclear force as the pivot as long as the US and its vassal forces persist in nuclear threat.

Throughout the past year, North Korea has conducted a series of ballistic missile tests, despite constant criticism from the West and trade sanctions.

has called the latest UN sanctions an act of war and said the United States and other nations that supported the strict measures will pay a heavy price.

US military to accept transgender recruits on Monday Pentagon - Duration: 3:16.

U.S. military to accept transgender recruits on Monday Pentagon

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Transgender people will be allowed for the first time to enlist

in the U.S. military starting on Monday as ordered by federal courts, the Pentagon said

on Friday, after President Donald Trump�s administration decided not to appeal rulings

that blocked his transgender ban.

Two federal appeals courts, one in Washington and one in Virginia, last week rejected the

administration�s request to put on hold orders by lower court judges requiring the

military to begin accepting transgender recruits on Jan. 1.

A Justice Department official said the administration will not challenge those rulings.

�The Department of Defense has announced that it will be releasing an independent study

of these issues in the coming weeks.

So rather than litigate this interim appeal before that occurs, the administration has

decided to wait for DOD�s study and will continue to defend the president�s lawful

authority in District Court in the meantime,� the official said, speaking on condition of

anonymity.

In September, the Pentagon said it had created a panel of senior officials to study how to

implement a directive by Trump to prohibit transgender individuals from serving.

The Defense Department has until Feb. 21 to submit a plan to Trump.

Lawyers representing currently-serving transgender service members and aspiring recruits said

they had expected the administration to appeal the rulings to the conservative-majority Supreme

Court, but were hoping that would not happen.

Pentagon spokeswoman Heather Babb said in a statement: �As mandated by court order,

the Department of Defense is prepared to begin accessing transgender applicants for military

service Jan. 1.

All applicants must meet all accession standards.�

Jennifer Levi, a lawyer with gay, lesbian and transgender advocacy group GLAD, called

the decision not to appeal �great news.�

I�m hoping it means the government has come to see that there is no way to justify a ban

and that it�s not good for the military or our country,� Levi said.

Both GLAD and the American Civil Liberties Union represent plaintiffs in the lawsuits

filed against the administration.

�COSTS AND DISRUPTION�

In a move that appealed to his hard-line conservative supporters, Trump announced in July that he

would prohibit transgender people from serving in the military, reversing Democratic President

Barack Obama�s policy of accepting them.

Trump said on Twitter at the time that the military �cannot be burdened with the tremendous

medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.�

Four federal judges - in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Seattle and Riverside, California - have

issued rulings blocking Trump�s ban while legal challenges to the Republican president�s

policy proceed.

The judges said the ban would likely violate the right under the U.S. Constitution to equal

protection under the law.

The Pentagon on Dec. 8 issued guidelines to recruitment personnel in order to enlist transgender

applicants by Jan. 1.

The memo outlined medical requirements and specified how the applicants� sex would

be identified and even which undergarments they would wear.

North Korea: Kim Jong-un 'knows if war breaks out' with US 'he will be among FIRST killed' - Duration: 3:51.

North Korea: Kim Jong-un 'knows if war breaks out' with US 'he will be among FIRST killed'

It comes as despite pressure from international sanctions to back down.  Jonathan Wachtel said: Kim Jong-un knows that if war breaks out, he is probably one of the first casualties." Citing despots Muammar Qaddafi and Iraqs Saddam Hussein as examples, Mr Wachtel added that Kim Jong-un's nuclear weapons programme was the North Korean leader "trying to survive".

He went on: "They didn't have nuclear deterrents… both those dictators are dead.

"So having a nuclear deterrent is something Kim Jong-un understands in his calculus, trying to survive."  Speaking about growing tensions in the Korean Peninsula, Mr Wachtel added: "Russia and China really dont want war to happen.

that is why weve seen some coming around in terms of Beijing and Moscow because they dont like to have a super heavily armed atomic power in North Korea. However, East Asia expert Gordon Chang has warned the US should prepare to fight off both Kim Jong-un and North Korea's allies China and Russia, adding that World War 3 is a possibility.

He said: I think you need to have an honest conversation with the American people. .

That honest conversation has to take into account that we could end up in a war not only with North Korea but with its big-power sponsor China, and maybe even Russia.

I'm not saying World War 3 is the end result but it is a possibility because the Chinese have already told us that. The author of Nuclear Showdown said Bejing had already signalled it would take Pyongyangs side in a conflict despite pledging to help defuse the tension with the rogue East Asian nation.

Mr Chang continued: In August, Beijing signalled that if the United States struck North Korea first then it would come in on North Korea's side.

We now actually got to do something because we caught the Chinese red-handed and really there's no more room for giving them more chances. Earlier Kim Jong-un's state media mouthpiece KCNA announced North Korea will continue to enhance its nuclear capabilities next year in a report titled No Force Can Prevail over Independence and Justice".

The chilling report said: "The DPRK, an undeniable new strategic state and nuclear power, declares: Do not expect any change in its policy.

The DPRK, as a responsible nuclear weapons state, will lead the trend of history to the only road of independence and justice, weathering all tempests on this planet.".

WHY U.S MADE AEGIS ASHORE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS CAN HELP JAPAN? - Duration: 7:53.

Japan is set to expand its ballistic missile defense capabilities with Japanese Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe's Cabinet approving the procurement of two land-based Aegis Ashore missile defense

systems on December 19.

The two Aegis Ashore batteries, the land-based variant of the Aegis combat system, will strengthen

Japanese defenses against China's and North Korea's growing ballistic and cruise missile

arsenals.

The government plans to deploy the two batteries by 2023 but has yet to make a decision on

the locations of the new missile defense systems.

This is in response to North Korea's nuclear and missile development programs that pose

a particular threat to Japan's national security.

Japanese Minister of Defense Itsunori Onodera told reporters in Tokyo , "North Korea's

nuclear missile development poses a new level of threat to Japan and as we have done in

the past we will ensure that we are able to defend ourselves with a drastic improvement

in ballistic missile defense".

The cost for the 2 Aegis Ashore missile defense systems could exceed $2 billion.

Onodera added: "We cannot say what the final costs will be, but we will move ahead to introduce

Aegis Ashore on the fastest possible schedule, given public calls that the government should

deal as swiftly and urgently as possible with the ballistic missile defense issue".

In this video, Defense Updates analyses WHY U.S MADE AEGIS ASHORE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS

CAN HELP JAPAN DEFEND AGAINST NORTH KOREAN MISSILES?

This year has been an extraordinary year for North Korea.

It finally achieved regime's dream going back decades: establishing direct nuclear

deterrence with the United States, it already had missile capable of targeting Japan.

Despite sanctions, North Korea pushed on and became the first rogue state to acquire a

functional nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile as well as a powerful nuke.

Japan is a pacifist country - at least according to its constitution.

Article 9, introduced under the occupying forces after the Second World War, seems unequivocal:

"The Japanese people forever renounce war and the threat or use of force."

But new laws introduced by conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will allow a broader interpretation

of what the constitution does, and does not, permit - so-called " proactive pacifism".

Japan's stance is slowing changing to meet keeping in view the ever increasing threats

from North Korea and up-to some extent from China.

The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System is a United States Department of Defense (DoD),

Missile Defense Agency program developed to provide missile defense against short to intermediate-range

ballistic missiles.

Aegis BMD is designed to intercept ballistic missiles post-boost phase and prior to reentry.

It enables Aegis equipped vessels like Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers to shoot down enemy

ballistic missiles by expanding the Aegis Combat System with the addition of the AN/SPY-1

radar and Standard missile technologies.

Aegis Ashore, is the land variant of the system.

Basic concept and technology remains same,it is only that it deployed as missile defense

site, instead of being deployed in surface vessels.

The first site to be declared operational was in Romania in 2016.

The Japanese government concluded in an in-depth study earlier this year that the Aegis Ashore

system is more cost effective for missile defense than THAAD.

The heart of the AEGIS systems is an automatic detect and track, multifunctional phased-array

radar, the AN/SPY-1.

This high-powered 4 MW radar is able to perform search, track and missile guidance functions

simultaneously with a capability of over 100 targets.

A conventional, mechanically rotating radar "sees" a target when the radar beam strikes

that target once during each 360-degree rotation of the antenna.

A separate tracking radar is then required to engage each target.

By contrast, the computer-controlled AN/SPY-1A Phased Array Radar of the AEGIS system brings

these functions together within one system.

The phased array can concentrate energy where it is needed.

The operator can boost the range and resolution in a particular direction without blinding

the ship to threats from another side.

The 4 fixed arrays of "SPY" send out beams of electromagnetic energy in all directions

simultaneously, continuously providing a search and tracking capability for hundreds of target

at the same time.

This radar is expected to track enemy aircrafts from as far as 300 km.

The Aegis Ashore batteries will be armed with SM-6 interceptors and SM-3 Block IIA interceptors.

Manufactured by U.S. defense contractor Raytheon, SM-6 is a supersonic Mach 3.5+ missile interceptor

with an estimated range of over 180 miles or 289 kilometers.

The SM-3 Block IIA has been under joint development by Raytheon and Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

since 2006.

It is designed to destroy short-to intermediate-range ballistic missile threats.

SM-3 Block IIA interceptors have extended range of 2,500 km or 1,350 miles.

The Aegis Ashore sites would supplement Patriot batteries capable of engaging short- and medium-range

ballistic missiles in their terminal phase and Aegis-equipped guided-missile destroyers,

of which the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) currently operates four, a number

that is expected to increase to eight in the future.

If the system operated as promised, sensors would track incoming missiles throughout their

launch and flight and would be able to take them out in the sky with the interceptor missile.

The concept is similar to hitting a bullet with another bullet and is very complicated.

Test results outcomes have been mixed, with some success.

In order for either SM-6 interceptors and SM-3 Block IIA missile to intercept a North

Korean ballistic missile, the Aegis combat system would have to start tracking the missile

in its ascent phase and launch interceptors before it overflies the Aegis ashore site.

This all depends on the early detection of the missile.

Early detection also enables multiple shots for each incoming missile , that increases

the probability of successful intercept.

Mom of tot who started Bronx fire could've warned us: resident

The mom whose toddler started the city's deadliest blaze in recent memory could have done more to warn her neighbors of the fire, said an angry Bronx resident whose four relatives were killed in Thursday's tragedy.

The 25-year-old mom, who dashed out of the home with her two young kids, leaving open the door of her burning apartment and sending flames shooting through the building, could be heard faintly calling out, "fire, fire," claims Shevon Stewart, 45, whose sister, nieces and cousin were among the 12 killed.

In all, 22 families were left homeless, according to the Red Cross.

"Her apartment is right behind mine," Stewart said. "You don't call for help? From the moment you see fire, call somebody. And if you don't have a phone, knock on doors, do something.".

After she escaped the flames, the mom sat down on a curb across the street from the Prospect Ave building, Stewart said. Nobody tried to find us," claimed Stewart, whose brother-in-law, is on life support at Jacobi Hospital.

US: 2 dead, 1 injured in shooting at Southern California law firm

A man walked into the Southern California law firm where he worked and shot two men Friday before turning the gun on himself, police said.

Police arrived to find the gunman and one victim dead and learned that the second victim had driven himself to a hospital, Long Beach police Sergeant Brad Johnson said at a news conference.

The injured man was in stable condition.

Police didnt fire any shots, Johnson said.

A SWAT team searched the rest of the building and no other victims were found.

The gunmans motive had not yet been determined, but authorities emphasized it was not a case of an active shooter targeting as many people as possible.

This incident was workplace violence, Johnson said.

Video showed people running from a two-story office building shouting about a shooting inside.

The building in a well-to-do neighborhood in Long Beach is home to three law firms, but police did not reveal the office where the shooting occurred.

The site is about 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles in Long Beach, a city of about 460,000 people.

Iranian protests: World is watching response, US warns - Duration: 4:48.

Iranian protests: World is watching response, US warns

The US says the world is watching how Iranian authorities respond to anti-government protests that have broken out in several cities.

A White House statement said Iranians were fed up with the regimes corruption and its squandering of the nations wealth to fund terrorism.

The US State Department condemned the arrests of dozens of protesters.

Thousands of people are said to have joined demonstrations in the cities of Kermanshah, Rasht, Isfahan and Qom.

The protests spread to the capital, Tehran, on Friday and social media footage showed a heavy police presence there.

It is the biggest display of public dissent since huge pro-reform rallies in 2009.

The Iranian government should respect their peoples rights, including their right to express themselves.

The world is watching, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Twitter.

The US State Department urged all nations to publicly support the Iranian people and their demands for basic rights and an end to corruption.

What is Iran saying about the protests?.

First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri has suggested that government opponents are behind the protests, according to comments reported by state broadcaster IRIB.

He said: Some incidents in the country these days are on the pretext of economic problems, but it seems there is something else behind them.

They think by doing this they harm the government, but it will be others who ride the wave..

Earlier, Fars news agency reported that protesters in Kermanshah had destroyed some public property and were dispersed.

The governor-general of Tehran said that any such gatherings would be firmly dealt with by the police, who are out in force on the main roads.

Hassan Rouhani, the president who moved left.

Iranians urge Rouhani not to disappoint.

Officials in Mashhad said the protest was organised by counter-revolutionary elements, and video online showed police using water cannon.

Meanwhile state TV said rallies were due to take place on Saturday to commemorate 2009 demonstrations held in support of the then conservative government of Mahmud Ahmedinejad.

Those demonstrations were in response to protests by reformists over a disputed election which returned Mr Ahmedinejad to power.

How did the demonstrations begin?.

The current protests started in the north-eastern city of Mashhad - the countrys second most-populous - on Thursday.

People there took to the streets to express anger at the government over high prices, and vented their fury against President Hassan Rouhani.

Fifty-two people were arrested for chanting harsh slogans.

The protests spread to other cities in the north-east, and some developed into broader demonstrations against the authorities, calling for the release of political prisoners and an end to police beatings.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani presents his budget for 2018-2019 on December 10, 2017.

NHL NEWS - Canada-U.S. outdoor spectacle unspectacular - Duration: 9:30.

Canada-U.S. outdoor spectacle unspectacular

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.—Oh, it was a spectacle, but then every outdoor hockey game is a spectacle.

Like a Zamboni operator being able to drive, it's part of the job description.

The United States played Canada in the first-ever outdoor game at a world junior hockey championship, and the snow filled the freezing air and danced and swirled and, most of all, fell.

"I think our speed was fine, but the puck was in your feet," said Canadian captain Dillon Dubé, after Canada lost 4-3 to the United States in a shootout.

"You're almost just poking at it to make it keep up the same pace as you.

So it was tough, but it was fun.

When they were shovelling the snow, you could almost make a fort.".

In other words, it was ridiculous.

Yes, it was a spectacle.

So, if you use the loosest sense of the term, was the truck fire that closed the QEW on Friday morning, which combined with delays at the border caused some of the record junior crowd of 44,592 to arrive late.

The football stadium filled most of the way up in time for those fans to get snowed on, and snowed on some more, as they watched hockey attempt to be played between shovelling sessions.

The U.S.

came back from a 3-1 deficit in the third period.

On paper, not a bad game.

On the ice, it was absurd, as outdoor games tend to be.

Before the game the players spoke of how excited they were, and also how they would have to play simple hockey, cautious hockey, meat-and-potatoes hockey.

Which, if you have ever watched an outdoor game, is the only true common thread that runs though every single one.

Well, that and the money.

One of the great ironies of the plague of outdoor games is the factors that truly make them spectacles — snow, primarily, or in some cases rain — are what make the hockey itself so unspectacular.

Which is why, as the money-making venture has spread across the sport, another common thread is that outdoor games don't mean very much, by design.

They are one game of 82, or in some places all-star games.

You don't let the possibility of ridiculous conditions influence a game that matters.

But this game mattered.

In the end, the IIHF and USA Hockey dodged a real storm: Had the Americans lost they would have been in danger of finishing fourth in the group, and facing Sweden or Russia in the quarter-finals.

As it stood, Canada can still clinch first with a regulation win over Denmark, and the U.S.

can still finish second by beating Finland.

Still, what a silly thing.

The crowd, partly delayed by a morning vehicle fire near Grimsby, or lines at the border, filled in just in time for the precipitation to start, and only the top corners were empty when the lake-effect stuff hit, dropping an inch or two an hour.

The ice crew brought out both double-wheel wheelbarrows and garbage cans for the shovellers during every timeout; by the end of the second period they could have built a respectable child's toboggan hill behind one net.

But instead of a dazzling display of speed and skill, we got some power-play goals, long stretches of nothing much, and some flashes of brilliance.

The best player was probably American Sabres pick Casey Mittelstadt, who assisted on both American goals in the third period, and threw a pass at the end of regulation that nearly resulted in a regulation winner.

It could have been better, though.

"Heading into the second was almost the worst; towards the third, I think you couldn't really see it too well," said Dubé.

"Sometimes you could see it riffling in the snow, but you couldn't even see the black of it." Asked how the game might have played out differently on an NHL rink, Canada's Maxime Comtois said simply, "I could see the puck.".

Now, they loved it.

Canadian Boris Katchouk, who scored Canada's third goal, said he felt like a kid again.

Dubé said he thought he snow made the game better.

But then, they weren't watching.

There was nothing like Mittelstadt's thrilling goal against Slovakia Thursday night, when the Sabres pick turned and wheeled past a defender, slalomed to the net, and tucked the puck past a goalie he had turned into a doormat before doing a mini-Bobby Orr dive.

There wasn't an end-to-end goal like the Slovak winner from Samuel Bucek.

It was impossible.

And so the Canadians took some dumb penalties and turned over too many pucks, and you can't say the Americans didn't deserve to win.

As Comtois put it, "the conditions didn't do this to us.

We did it to ourselves.".

So yes, it was a spectacle: the snow, the shadows on the ice as night fell, the puffs of snow as players dug their blades into the ice.

But look at it this way: the best hockey game I saw this year — including the NHL regular season, the NHL playoffs, and the Stanley Cup final — was Canada and the United States on Jan.

5, in Montreal.

It was a swashbuckling, lurching, thrilling game, the best kind of junior game, full of the scrambling chaos of hockey before NHL coaches drill out all the mistakes.

The Americans won 5-4, and the only lousy part was that it went to a shootout.

In this game, the game began and ended with two-on-ones that bounced away, one for each team, and players were tripping in ruts on the ice.

Even the three-on-three OT wasn't so much scrambling glorious chaos as puck management.

There was real skill out there, sure.

The players made this thing about as good as it could be.

Not enough, though.

It wasn't a great hockey game, not really.

It was a spectacle, instead.

Most shocking and biggest celeb break us of 2017 the year that love died Breaking News - Duration: 11:08.

While 2016 may have been a year that saw some shocking celebrity deaths, it would seem 2017 was the year that love died as rock solid relationships crumbled.

From the A-List elite, to reality star trash - it seemed those who appeared destined to spend eternity together just couldn't make it work.

While some on-off stars decided this was the year that they would be off - for good. Here is a run down of the most shocking celebrity splits of 2017...

Louise and Jamie Redknapp The Strictly curse hit Louise and Jamie Redknapp hard. While Louise had been hitting the dance floor in 2016, it was the end of the Strictly 2017 tour that she decided to throw in the towel on her 19-year-marriage to footballer Jamie.

While the shock news of their split didn't dominate headlines until the latter half of the year, it transpired the couple actually filed for divorce in March - with courts granting the split officially in December.

Spice Girl Mel and Stephan seemed to be completely mad for each other - but after their shock split, it would seem they were just mad at each other.

This solid romance came completely off the rails when Mel left Stephen in March, demanding a divorce after a decade together.

Things quickly turned ugly, with accusations of violence and explicit sex secrets making headlines and the relationship definitely over.

The nation watched Kem and Amber fall for each other in the sunshine before eventually being crowned winners of Love Island 2017.

The pair seemed inseparable - and seemed like a solid couple (especially considering the public feuds and break-ups of the other Love Island 2017 couples that collapsed while Kem and Amber stayed strong).

By December, however, the love was all over as Kem's Dancing On Ice training seemed to take a toll and the pair ended their romance and blaming their hectic work schedules for the split.

This car crash of a relationship tested the patience of even the most loyal Chaz and Bear fan.

Everyone seemed to lose count of how many times they had split up and got back together as literally everyone stopped caring after the 200th time.

But by December things appeared to be finally (PLEASE) be over for good as Bear was publicly humiliated when he begged for Charlotte to take him back and she said no.

Davina McCall and Matthew Robertson Fitness fanatic Davina couldn't keep her marriage in shape - and in November she announced her 17 year marriage to Pet Rescue presenter Matthew Roberson was over - but was her hardcore training regime to blame?

'Matthew is a very different person to Davina,' a friend of the couple told the Daily Mail.

'He's laid back, runs his own adventure travel business and loves to go with the flow. The idea of sticking to endless rules and self denial just isn't him,' the source added.

Paul and Alex Hollywood A good flan will rise in the over, but a bad one will fall. And thus, Paul Hollywood 's marriage appeared to end up like a Bake Off attempt destined for the bin.

The TV host saw his marriage to wife Alex crumble in November - with the shock split announced just days after photos circulated that appeared to show Paul locking lips with former Bake Off contestant Candice Brown.

Chris Pratt and Anna Farris This Hollywood golden couple shocked fans when they announced their marriage was over in August (and their divorce was finalised by December).

Chris and Anna - who share a son - had been gushing over each other via social media just weeks before their split was announced.

Accusations of an affair with Jennifer Lawerence and career jealousy are some of the reasons this couple are rumoured to have called quits on their romance - however they still seem close with Chris writing the intro to Anna's autobiography after they had split.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd Selena Gomez loves a Canadian, it would seem, as she found love with The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) after being left heartbroken by Justin Bieber.

The pair dated from January and had moved in together by September. But in October, the pair broke up - and Selene went back to Justin Bieber (much to the disdain of her mother).

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom For months, Katy and Orlando were inseparable - taking in fun-filled trips to Disney Land and naked paddle boarding together.

But the love affair fell a little short, and they broke up in March after more than a year of dating.

The pair have kept in contact - and occasionally show up in each other's social media feeds.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel As Fergie began her return to the music spotlight, it seemed she no longer had time for husband Josh.

Having tied-the-knot in January 2009, fans were shocked to learn their romance was over by February 2017.

While Fergie focused her attention into her music, it all turned out to be for nowt as her long awaited second solo album bombed upon release in September.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Another reality couple and another on-off disaster. Rob and Chyna had already been an unlikely couple but fans thought they could make things work after they welcomed a daughter together.

But the relationship went down in flames and things turned very ugly in July when Rob unleashed 'revenge porn' images of Chyna which sparked a legal battle which is still ongoing.

Ewan McGregor and Eve Mavrakis Many were shocked when Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor left wife of 22-years Eve for his Fargo co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead - not lease Eve herself who had unwittingly welcomed her younger rival into their family home weeks before the split was announced.

'[Eve] is doing her best to handle it with dignity. But what makes it worse is she has been told Mary Elizabeth had a teenage crush on Ewan. I'm sure a lot of people did but they didn't go and have an affair with him,' a source following the shock split.

The couple have four children together. Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky Lovers and collaborators Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky kept their relationship quietly private.

He directed her in one of 2017's most controversial films - the biblically-inspired thriller Mother!

However their romance ended much like their film's box office performance - with disaster as they broke up just a few weeks after the release.

North Korea's Greatest Wish: How the U.S.–South Korea Alliance Could Die

With North Korea rapidly expanding its nuclear and missile capabilities, maintaining a robust U.S.–South Korean alliance is vital. Unfortunately, there is a ticking time-bomb that threatens to throw the alliance in a tailspin.

This time-bomb is the upcoming renegotiation of the burden sharing agreement known as the Special Measures Agreement (SMA). The current five-year SMA, negotiated in 2014, will expire in 2018, meaning negotiations will need to begin soon.

Financial matters between allies can always be touchy, and the combination of Donald Trump's "America First" foreign policy and Moon Jae-in's Korean nationalism could make this round particularly toxic.

If handled correctly, however, Trump and Moon can revitalize the alliance and put it on a more sustainable footing for years to come.

Under the current SMA, South Korea covers approximately 50 percent of nonpersonnel costs (about $821 million in 2016) and contributes $9 billion towards the relocation of U.S. bases in South Korea.

Negotiations of the 2014 agreement were tense, with anti-American protests and some South Korean lawmakers calling the talks "humiliating." During the process, Seoul's primary concern was a lack of transparency and control over how South Korean contributions were used.

These concerns were addressed in the 2014 SMA by requiring the United States to report to the Republic of Korea (ROK) on how the funds are used.

Nonetheless, they are certain to reappear in the new negotiations, especially with Moon's party now in control.

For the United States, the biggest concern is getting Seoul to contribute more to its own defense. This concern long predated the current U.S. administration, but it will be especially important to President Trump.

As a presidential candidate, Trump went so far as to suggest that if Seoul did not cover "100 percent" of alliance costs the United States should be "prepared to walk," leaving South Koreans to "defend themselves." As president, Trump has made increased alliance contributions a cornerstone of his foreign policy, meaning he is unlikely to back down in SMA talks.

Interestingly, however, the U.S. president might find his South Korean counterpart to be an ideal partner.

While Trump and Moon have widely divergent views on how to deal with the North Korean threat, both agree that South Korea should have more responsibility for its own defense.

Despite widely being thought of as a dove, Moon is calling for a 7 percent increase in defense spending in 2018. He has also pushed the United States to loosen restrictions on South Korea's missile capabilities and is seeking nuclear submarines.

Moon's interest in strengthening South Korea's military capabilities is part of his desire to regain wartime operational control (OPCON) over ROK forces.

The United States first gained OPCON over ROK forces during the Korean War and has made the transfer of wartime OPCON conditional on increased South Korean military capabilities.

President Moon and much of his South Korean left-wing base are Korean nationalists who consider OPCON a pressing sovereignty issue.

It is easy to imagine how the two nationalist presidents could butt heads in the upcoming burden sharing negotiation. President Trump is widely unpopular in South Korea and could easily make undiplomatic comments that could inflame latent ROK anti-Americanism.

President Moon's left-wing allies are already distrustful of the United States and will likely press him to drive a hard bargain. Perceptions of bad faith on either side flamed by public comments or protests in Seoul could easily poison alliance relations.

Park administration kept parts of 'comfort women' agreement secret 0.

The South Korean government said in a report Wednesday that it failed to gather adequately the opinions of former "comfort women", who were forced to work in Japanese military brothels before and during World War II, before reaching a deal with Japan in 2015 meant to address the issue.

Moon said that though the deal was an official promise approved by the leaders of both countries, he as a president of South Korea should make it clear again that the comfort women issue can not be resolved by the 2015 deal.

On the term "irreversible" in the agreement, the task force said South Korea initially used the word to make Japan's apology more "official", but it was later distorted in context when Tokyo used it to describe the "comfort women" issue, in subsequent talks.

The South Korean government will now review the panel's findings and consult again with victims, Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha told a news conference.

Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono, who is visiting the Middle East, in a statement said, "The deal was reached by the leaders of the two countries who were elected democratically".

Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted an unnamed Japanese government source as saying it had now become hard for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to visit South Korea in time for the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang in February, in a potential sign of chilling ties.

"The previous administration under former President Park Geun-hye used resolving the comfort women issue as a prerequisite to improving bilateral ties between South Korea and Japan, but its inflexible responses resulted in several burdens", it added.

The countries resolved to refrain from criticising each other over the issue at global forums, and South Korea agreed to "make efforts" to secure the removal of statues honouring the women, including one outside the Japanese embassy in Seoul.

Japan has often expressed its displeasure over civic groups' movement to build "girl statues" embodying comfort women across South Korea and in other countries.

The Park government also lacked communications with the victims and failed to get understanding and agreement from the victims, the review report said, noting that the 2015 deal was reached from the government perspective.

"Thus, unless the issues surrounding "responsibility" is completely resolved, the "comfort women" issue remains fundamentally unresolved even if the victims received the money". Then South Korean government replied that it will make efforts to appropriately resolve that issue.

"It has been confirmed that the 2015 comfort women negotiation between South Korea had serious flaws, both in process and content", Mr Moon said in a statement read out by his spokesman.

Kono, on the other hand, remained resolute, saying: "The Japan-South Korea agreement is an agreement between the two governments and one that has been highly appreciated by worldwide society".

"In addition, action will be taken carefully in consideration of any impact that it could have on the relations between South Korea and Japan".

Behind the scenes, Japan demanded South Korea not use the word "sex slave", and the South Korean side replied that it only used the word "comfort women" in the past, actually accepting Japan's demand, according to the report.

There are now 32 surviving "comfort women" victims in South Korea.
