🇰🇵❌🇰🇷 — 📰 Yonhap News Agency: North Korea halts radio station known for sending coded messages to spies in Seoul

➡️ North Korea is pressing ahead with measures to disband its inter-Korean organizations, apparently stopping a radio station previously used to send encrypted messages to its spies in South Korea.

➡️ As of Saturday, the North appears to have stopped broadcasting the state-run Pyongyang Radio and cut off access to its website.

➡️ The latest move comes after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ordered "readjusting and reforming" its organizations in charge of inter-Korean affairs during a key Workers' Party meeting last month amid growing cross-border tensions.

➡️ Pyongyang Radio is known for broadcasting a series of mysterious numbers, presumed to be coded messages, giving directions to its agents operating in South Korea.

➡️ The North resumed such broadcasts in 2016 after suspending them in 2000, when the two Koreas held their first historic summit.

“I was in the Aqsa hospital when the Israeli army fired a missile at the intensive care unit.”

Professor Nick Maynard had seen many horrors during his time as a surgeon but what he witnessed in central Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital will haunt him for the rest of his life, he told the Telegraph earlier this week.

“It was the single worst thing I’ve seen in my 35-year medical career,” he said, shortly after arriving home in Oxford, UK.

Bar will tender his resignation over intelligence failures ahead of the deadly Hamas attack on October 7, former Shin Bet head Yaakov Perry told Israeli Army Radio on Sunday.

“I spoke with him directly about what is expected, and I have no doubt that he will be one of the first to hand over the keys,” Perry said. “His intention is to leave the position.”

On October 15, Bar acknowledged his personal responsibility for the lack of an early warning for the assault on southern Israel communities.

🇬🇧To all those wondering how the UK plans to fight Russia, in case of they ever have to - they are going the Ukraine route

The Defense Secretary Shapps explained how he plans to resolve the recruitment crisis: “Something which I’m extremely passionate about is actually having a military which should represent our country as it is today.

“It can’t be right that our military still only has 11 or 12 per cent women, for example, when you make up half the population.”

🐻 He should probably be passionate about having a military that fights effectively but what do we know 🤷‍♀️
