North Korea’s new Hwasong-15 missile: What the photos show:
Photos of the Hwasong-15 released Thursday by North Korean state media showed a large, tall missile that appears to be significantly wider than the Hwasong-14, previously Pyongyang’s most-advanced missile, which was launched over Japan twice in July.
“They wanted (to be able) to hit all of the US and they wanted something big to hit it with,” said David Schmerler, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS). “This seems on the surface level to be that missile.”
Trump’s behavior raises questions of competency:
Yet the President of the United States is raising new questions about his temperament, his judgment and his understanding of the resonance of his global voice and the gravity of his role with a wild sequence of insults, inflammatory tweets and bizarre comments.
On Wednesday Trump caused outrage and sparked fears of violent reprisals against Americans and US interests overseas by
retweeting graphic anti-Muslim videos by an extreme far right British hate group. Earlier this week he
used a racial slur in front of Native American war heroes. He’s attacked global press freedom, after cozying up to autocrats on his recent Asia tour.
Tampa suspect admitted to owning gun linked to killings, police say:
Howell Donaldson III is facing four counts of first-degree murder in the killings of three men and a woman in Tampa’s Seminole Heights neighborhood.
Despite his arrest and the evidence, the motive behind the killings remains a mystery.
Donaldson is set to appear in court for his first hearing Thursday morning but without a confession to the killings, investigators have more work to do.
“He was friendly and nice to the cops, but he didn’t give us anything. He didn’t tell us why he was doing it, or anything like that,” Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said.
LaVar Ball on Stephen Curry: ‘I Still Don’t Think He’s Better Than’ Lonzo:
LaVar Ball isn’t ready to change his mind about his son versus Stephen Curry.
The outspoken father said last year he thought Lonzo Ball—who was at UCLA at the time—was better than the Warriors star, and he apparently still believes it.
“I trained my son. I know what he’s about,” LaVar told NBC Sports Bay Area‘s Kerith Burke Wednesday. “You guys know what Steph is about from what you’ve seen. I don’t know what Steph is about. He’s a good player.”
Even when reminded Curry was a two-time MVP, he didn’t back down.
“He can be a 10-time MVP. I still don’t think he’s better than my son,” Ball said.
