    New groups monitoring sanctions on North Korea will fail, says its UN envoy
    May 05, 2024 5:03 AM

    SEOUL — Efforts led by the US and other Western countries to form new groups to monitor sanctions on North Korea will fail, the country's UN envoy said on May 5, according to state media KCNA.

    Earlier in 2024, Russia vetoed the annual renewal of the panel amid US-led accusations that North Korea has transferred weapons to Russia for use in its war in Ukraine.

    In April, US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield visited the Demilitarised Zone, a heavily fortified border between the two Koreas, which remain technically at war, and urged Russia and China to stop rewarding North Korea for its bad behaviour.

    Her trip came after Russia rejected the annual renewal of the multinational panel of experts that has over the past 15 years monitored the implementation of UN sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes.

    Fake videos of Modi aides trigger political showdown in India election
    May 05, 2024 4:46 AM

    BENGALURU/LUCKNOW — Manipulated videos are taking centre stage as campaigning heats up in India's election, with fake clips involving two top aides of Prime Minister Narendra Modi triggering police investigations and the arrest of some workers of his rival Congress party.

    Indian police arrested at least nine people, including six members of Congress' social media teams, in the states of Assam, Gujarat, Telangana and New Delhi last week for circulating the fake video, according to police statements.

    Congress' head of social media, Supriya Shrinate, did not respond to messages and an email seeking comment.

    Another fake video that sparked a storm last week showed Yogi Adityanath, the state's chief minister, criticising Modi for not doing enough for families of those who died in a 2019 militant attack.
