UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United States and allies South Korea and Japan clashed with China and Russia Friday over North Korea’s latest satellite and ballistic missile launches and threats to use nuclear weapons that have escalated tensions in northeast Asia. In response, the U.S. and its allies have carried out an increasing number of military exercises. “There is a need for practical measures to reduce tensions, reverse the dangerous dynamic, and create space to explore diplomatic avenues.”North Korea’s U.N. Ambassador Joonkook Hwang said it should be his country – not the DPRK – that should claim the right to self-defense. He warned that a planned large-scale joint military exercise on the peninsula in August “practicing a scenario involving a nuclear war” will only increase tensions.

UNITED NATIONS — The United States and allies South Korea and Japan clashed with China and Russia Friday over North Korea’s latest satellite and ballistic missile launches and threats to use nuclear weapons that have escalated tensions in northeast Asia. The scene was an emergency open meeting of the U.N. Security Council called after North Korea’s failed launch of a military reconnaissance satellite on May 27 and other launches using ballistic missile technology in violation of U.N. sanctions. In response, the U.S. and its allies have carried out an increasing number of military exercises. “But two council members, China and Russia, continuously block the Security Council from speaking against the DPRK’s behavior with one voice and makes us all less safe,” he said. He warned that a planned large-scale joint military exercise on the peninsula in August “practicing a scenario involving a nuclear war” will only increase tensions.

The idea of setting up a second front was successful, German forces would have to fight Soviet Russia on one side and Allied Forces on the other — the writing was on the wall for the Third Reich. The Battle of Normandy still counts as one of the largest naval, air and land operations in history. The Battle of Normandy did not end the war, but it was successful in bringing about the start of the end of the European conflict.

Paul Dunne, chief executive officer of Northam Platinum Holdings Ltd., said the market for platinum-group metals “is the worst” he’s seen in a career that started in the late-1980s. “We need to see a real structural change in the supply of palladium to reassert pricing power into the market,” he said in an interview. The price of platinum – also used in vehicle anti-pollution devices but less dependent on auto demand – has fared better than palladium, and currently trades near where it began last year. About 70% of platinum production comes from South Africa, and consumption is expected to outstrip supply this year by the biggest margin in a decade. The destocking phase will likely last another year, after which the market should tighten and prices improve, he said.
