Pyongyang escalates war of words with Seoul after missile test
South's president Park Geun-Hye described her as a 'murderous devil'
She urged stronger sanctions against North Korea following nuclear test
New military chief named as Ri Myong-Su, former security minister
His predecessor Ri Yong-Gil was reportedly executed for 'corruption'


North Korea has called South Korean president Park Geun-Hye a 'crazy old bitch' as tyrant Kim Jong-un watched army exercise run by the new military chief following his predecessor's execution.
In the latest personal attack on the South's president, Rodong Sinmun newspaper of the North's ruling communist party launched a colourful invective against Park for seeking stronger sanctions against Pyongyang following its nuclear and missile tests.
A full-page coverage on the conservative leader described her as a 'murderous devil' and 'senile old woman' whose only purpose is to topple the North's government.

'This tailless crazy old bitch called Park Geun-Hye is heaping further misery on our people, already suffering from the tragedy of division,' one article said.
Earlier, Park warned that North Korea must either change its ways or face the collapse of its regime. She added that Kim Jong-un's authoritarian government is an 'extreme reign of terror' and used his name three times
The president added that Kim Jong Un's authoritarian government is an 'extreme reign of terror' and used his name three times. It is believed that Kim has never referred to Park by name in his rare public speeches.
Park, 64, closed a joint inter-Korea industrial zone in reprisal for the North's launch of a satellite into orbit, in what many saw as a disguised test of a long-range ballistic missile banned under UN resolutions.


The Kaesong estate in the North, where 126 Seoul firms operated factories that employed 54,000 North Koreans, had been considered a precious source of hard currency for the impoverished North since its opening in 2004.
For this reason, Rodong called Park the 'dumbest of the dumb'.
'This invalid, morally depraved human being... never showed any goodwill for other human beings as well as her people,' it said.
South Korea reacted with anger at the North's 'vulgar' personal attacks and urged Pyongyang to stop.
'We express strong regret over... the North's personal attacks that targeted our head of state with such base, vulgar language,' Seoul's unification ministry which handles cross-border affairs said in a statement.



Ri Myong-Su, former People's Security Minister, was referred to as 'chief of the Korean People's Army General Staff'
The war of words comes as North Korean state media, the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), confirmed the country has a new military chief following reports that the former holder of the post had been executed.
Ri Myong-Su, former People's Security Minister, was referred to as 'chief of the Korean People's Army General Staff' and had the honour to run an army exercise guided by leader Kim Jong-Un.
Ri Myong-Su was again mentioned in a separate KCNA report on Kim's inspection of an air force exercise.
His predecessor Ri Yong-Gil was reportedly executed early this month in what would be the latest in a series of purges and executions of top officials.



In May last year South Korea's spy agency said Kim had his defence chief Hyon Yong-Chol executed - reportedly with an anti-aircraft gun
Ri Yong-Gil was accused of forming a political faction and corruption, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said, citing a source familiar with North Korean affairs.
In May last year South Korea's spy agency said Kim had his defence chief Hyon Yong-Chol executed - reportedly with an anti-aircraft gun.
Hyon's fate was never confirmed by Pyongyang but he has never been seen or heard of since. Some analysts have suggested he was purged and imprisoned.
Reports - some confirmed, some not - of purges, executions and disappearances have been common since Kim took power following the death of his father Kim Jong-Il in December 2011.
A large number of senior officials, especially military cadres, were removed or demoted as the young leader sought to solidify his control over the powerful military.
In the most high-profile case, Kim had his influential uncle Jang Song-Thaek executed in December 2013 for charges including treason and corruption.
Professor Yang Moo-Jin of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul said the new military chief was one of Kim's top three aides and was known to be well-versed in missile technology.

UK children are less happy than those in Algeria, Romania and Poland and only youngsters in Ethiopia, South Korea and Nepal are more miserable in survey of 16 nations


UK children are less happy than those in Algeria, Romania and Poland and only youngsters in Ethiopia, South Korea and Nepal are more miserable in survey of 16 nations
Survey by Children's Worlds quizzed eight-year-olds on their happiness
UK children also scored low on satisfaction with their family lives and appearance but fared better on internet access and good clothes
Issues surrounding bullying in England is 'troubling', researchers say
Children in Romania are the happiest, followed by those in Poland

Children in the UK are less happy than those in Romania, Poland and Algeria, an international study released today has revealed.
Only youngsters living in South Korea, Nepal and Ethiopia fared worse than those in England, with the country ranking 13th out of 16 countries for life satisfaction, according to the research survey by Children's Worlds.
Young people across the world took part in a questionnaire as part of the survey, and were quizzed on their family and home life, bullying, personal well-being and views on children's rights, as well as their overall happiness.



The results released this morning form part two of the three-stage survey, in which eight-year-olds in Romania, Columbia, Spain, Israel, Algeria, Turkey, Malta, Norway, Germany, South Africa, Estonia, Ethiopia, Nepal and South Korea were also quizzed about their lives.


Children in England were questioned on behalf of those in the rest of the UK, with 990 eight-year-olds taking part.
They were also asked about friendships, money and possessions, school life, the area where they live and use of their time.



When it came to over all life satisfaction, children in Romania came out on top, with youngsters on average rating their happiness as 9.08 out of 10. Poland was second with nine out of 10 and Columbia third with 8.93.
Children in England gave an average score of 8.39, below than the global average of 8.5.
But as well as the low score on life satisfaction, children in England also ranked towards the bottom of the table when it came to happiness in their family lives, coming in at 12th place with Catalonia in Spain top and Nepal bottom.
More than two thirds of English children said they feel safe at home, while on friends, England came mid-table when young people were asked if they are satisfied with their relationships.
Of all 16 countries, England did not rank any higher than eighth place for any of the questions.



When it comes to material possessions, almost all English respondents said they had access to good clothes, compared to 85 per cent in Ethiopia - and 88 per cent of British children indicated they have access to the internet, compared to just 6 per cent in Nepal.
Asked about bullying at school, a fifth of children in England said they had been hit by fellow pupils more than three times in the last month, compared to almost a quarter in Estonia and 6 per cent in South Korea.
Looking at issues around how young people see themselves, children in England came in the bottom five when asked about their appearance and body. Colombia and Romania came top.
Work on the study was carried out by researchers in the participating countries, with an invitation to other nations wanting to take part. The US was involved in the first wave of the project, which was presented in 2012 and involved eight, 10 and 12-year-olds, but not the second.



Gwyther Rees, of the Social Policy Research Unit at the University of York, which carried out the research in England, said: 'There are some quite troubling messages from England and the picture is quite similar to what we found with older age groups.
'Children are happy at home and with friends but less happy at school where there seems to be an issue around bullying and being left out.'
Simon Sommer, head of research at the Jacobs Foundation, which funded the work, said the project is 'groundbreaking', revealing information from the eight-year-olds' own perspectives.
He said: 'The Jacobs Foundation continues to support Children's Worlds, because we are convinced that it will deliver unique information valuable for everyone who is interested in understanding and improving the lives of children and youth.'

South Korean President Park Geun-Hye vows to 'break North Korea's will'
Closure of joint-run factory was 'just the beginning' of a 'strong' response
Park said Kim Jong-Un had diverted workers' salaries to bomb programme
Seoul to make NK 'bitterly realise it can't survive' with nuclear development

North Korea will collapse if it does not abandon its nuclear bomb programme, South Korea's president has warned.
In a speech to the National Assembly, Park Geun-Hye said a fundamentally new approach was needed to derail Kim Jong-Un's pursuit of an atomic weapon.
She warned that South Koreans had, over the years, become 'numb' to the threat from their northern neighbour and said it was now time to take a more courageous stand.
Her speech came a week after Park took the unprecedented step of shutting down operations at the jointly run Kaesong industrial estate, triggering an aggressive response from Pyongyang.



Defending the closure, Park said it was 'just the beginning' and signalled further steps that she argued were needed to derail the North's nuclear programme.
'The government will take stronger and more effective measures to make North Korea bitterly realise that it cannot survive with nuclear development and that it will only speed up regime collapse,' she said.


Park said the North had diverted much of the Seoul payments to North Korean workers at the factory park to the Pyongyang leadership which is in charge of nuclear and missile development.
Citing the North's nuclear test last month and long-range rocket launch on February 7, which was widely viewed as a ballistic missile test, Park said it was clear Pyongyang had no intention of discussing denuclearisation.



'If time passes without any change, the Kim Jong-Un leadership – which is speeding without a brake – could deploy a nuclear-tipped missile and we will suffer,' she said.
'It has become clear that we cannot break North Korea's will to develop nuclear weapons through existing means and goodwill.
'It's time to find a fundamental solution for bringing practical change in North Korea and to show courage in putting that into action.'
A similar line is being pushed by the United States and Japan in an effort to secure a strong UN Security Council resolution that will include harsh new sanctions for North Korea.
But Park's speech failed to address the problem the Security Council is having in drafting a resolution that has the support of all five veto-wielding permanent members.
Despite Beijing's annoyance with North Korea's nuclear ambitions and its young maverick leader Kim Jong-Un, its priority has been to prevent chaos on China's border.
As a result, it has resisted punitive measures that might push Kim's regime towards collapse.



Park indicated that South Korea should be more willing to act unilaterally if other countries lagged behind.
'We must throw away the impotent feeling of relying on the international community's sanctions... and mobilise all possible methods to solve the problem ourselves,' she said.
After her speech, the Yonhap news agency cited defence officials in Seoul as saying four US F-22 stealth fighter jets would fly a mission over South Korea on Wednesday in a show of force aimed at Pyongyang.
South Korea is also due to begin talks with the US this week on the possible deployment of an advanced US missile defence system that China and Russia have warned could undermine stability in East Asia.
Defence officials in Seoul and Washington say bringing the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence System (THAAD) to the South has become a clear necessity given the progress North Korea was making on its ballistic missile programme.
But China sees it as a threat to its own nuclear deterrent and Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Yesui reiterated Beijing's concerns during meeting Tuesday with his South Korean counterpart in Seoul.
'We exchanged views on the THAAD issue and the Chinese side expressed its opposition,' Zhang told reporters. 'We hope the relevant sides will act prudently.'

Obama disappointed at G20 Summit

Obama disappointed at G20 Summit


For President Obama, the last-minute failure to seal a trade deal with South Korea is a major setback for the administration's foreign policy agenda. President Obama now faces charges of hypocrisy due to the Federal Reserve's decision to pump over $600 billion into the ailing US economy, yet the US charging China with keeping their currency low.
