Why does russia support north korea

Regular North Koreans struggling for food have become infuriated at the emergence of Kim Jong-un's young daughter and her fancy clothes. Kim Ju-ae's lifestyle in the closed-off country is unusual in comparison to the majority of North Koreans, where she enjoys a luxury life of horse riding, skiing, and swimming, according to South Korean National Intelligence Services (NIS). And the 10-year-old has also attracted the ire of the normal down trodden North Koreans for her fancy dress, according to reports.

(CTN News) – Ukraine accuses Russia of destabilizing Belarus and turning it into “a nuclear hostage” after Putin announced he had made a deal with Moscow to station tactical nuclear weapons there.

In fact, Lesley is the first to admit that her stint playing Mother Superior is taking its toll. “I am a bit tired to be honest,” she tells Love Sunday over the phone. “Sometimes at the beginning of the week [the tiredness] is worse than at the end because you come back after a day off and your voice takes a while to get going again.” Even so, the star – who has been working in show business for more than 50 years and lives in north London – has the energy of someone half her age and says she’s inherited her mother’s zest for life. “My mother died when she was just under 104 and she was playing tennis in her nineties,” Lesley says. “I sometimes don’t know how I do what I do, but I just think I’ve got her genes, really. … [Read more...] about Lesley Joseph says showbiz keeps her young as she dishes dirt on celebrity friendships
