In a resumption of testing, North Korea launches a ballistic missile into the sea. North Korea launched a ballistic missile on Sunday, according to Seoul, restarting a weapons-testing frenzy after a month of relative calm during the Beijing Winter Olympics and while the world's attention is focused on Ukraine. Pyongyang has launched eight missiles this year, including a test-firing of its most powerful missile since high-profile talks between Kim Jong Un and then-US President Donald Trump collapsed in 2017. Diplomacy has been in decline since then. Despite harsh international sanctions, Pyongyang has increased its military spending and threatened to end a self-imposed embargo on firing long-range and nuclear weapons last month. Pyongyang was generally expected to try to profit from the US's diversion over Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, according to analysts. The South Korean military says it detected a ballistic missile fired from Pyongyang toward the Sea of Japa

According to a new poll released friday, over two-thirds of Americans believe that if Trump were still president, Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine. According to a recent Harvard Center for American Political Studies-Harris Research poll, 62 percent of Americans believe that if Trump, rather than incumbent President Joe Biden, were still in office, Putin would not launch an offensive against Ukraine. In terms of percentages, 39 percent of Democrats and 85 percent of Republicans believe Trump would have made Putin reconsider starting the war. Meanwhile, according to The Hill, 59 percent of Americans believe Biden's perceived weakness led Putin to execute the brazen strike in the first place. Regardless of party affiliation, though, a total of 38% of Americans say Putin would have invaded Ukraine regardless of who was president. Another 41% felt the person in power had no influence on Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. While President Biden has voic

Oliver Hudson is speaking up about how coming off his medicine last year left him with "severe anxiety." The 45-year-old actor can be seen on film detailing how he came off Lexapro some months before to making the video, after taking it for five and a half years to alleviate his anxiety. Hudson shared how he felt that day and how the process has gone since he decided to stop taking his medications. In the video, he says, "It's been extremely tough for me." "It's been torturous. Debilitating. To be honest, it's somewhat frightening. It's a little scary at times. However, I am in a good mood right now. I'm in a fantastic mood. It may only last an hour, and I may return to my previous state, but for now, I'm going to bask in normalcy." Hudson noted in the description to the 2021 video that he was "in the throes of tremendous anxiety" and that he had few moments where he felt normal. He also admitted that he debated whether or

On Friday evening, the airline's website and app were down for many hours, preventing customers from checking in online or booking tickets.

Boris Johnson has stated that sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will be implemented "imminently." They will face asset freezes, which the EU is also imposing, but not a travel ban, according to the UK's sanctions list. The declaration comes a day after Russia invaded Ukraine with tanks, which have been stationed in Kyiv, the country's capital. Mr. Johnson stated that the world must ensure that Mr. Putin's "violence" is unsuccessful. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has prompted outrage and retaliatory penalties from Western countries.
