First order special forces tie fighter

Russian President Vladimir Putin has written to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, to suggest the two countries form closer ties. North Korea's state media, KCNA, said the letter from Mr Putin had suggested the pair work to "expand the comprehensive and constructive bilateral relations with common efforts". Delivered to Pyongyang on North Korea's liberation day, it went on to say a union would help "strengthen the security and stability of the Korean peninsula and the Northeastern Asian region". In a separate letter in reply, Mr Kim said that since a Russian-North Korean friendship had been forged in World War II with victory over Japan, the "strategic and tactical cooperation, support and solidarity" between the two countries had reached a new level. Their common efforts to frustrate threats and provocations from "hostile military forces", it said, bound them.

First, find your French house. Last week , I shared some details of the house-hunting process, whether you’re a normal person with a sensible budget and a checklist (how many bedrooms, how much outside space, pool or no pool) or, like me, the type of person who just lost your head to a house and threw your whole life up in the air to acquire it, like Mary Tyler Moore and her hat in the opening credits to her eponymous show. This week, I thought I’d run through the things I would have liked to have known before the throwing-up-in-the-air bit. Whether you just lost your head, or you’re a checklist person, once you’ve hunted down your house or apartment, you’ll want to put in an offer. In many cases right now – whatever you might have seen on those daytime property shows – a super-low offer is unlikely to be accepted. Chance your arm, by all means, but as in the UK, it’s a seller’s market at the moment. Houses in popular locations and those with ­especially ­desirable features get … [Read more...] about Houses that stay on the market for years in France are called ‘English Specials’ – I can see why

By Jenny Hill Published 8 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Cat owners in one German town will be allowed to let their pets out for the first time in three months when the authorities lift a special lockdown. People in Walldorf, in the south-west, were ordered in May to keep their cats indoors to protect an endangered bird. Cats were only allowed to venture outside if they were kept on a leash no more than two metres (6ft) in length. But the animals will again be allowed to roam free from 00:01 local time on Monday. If a cat escaped while the lockdown was in force, owners were told to call a special hotline, then find and detain the offending feline. Any breach would result in a fine. An owner whose animal injured or killed one of the protected birds had to pay up to €50,000 (£42,000). Authorities had been attempting to protect the local … [Read more...] about Cats to be freed from special lockdown in German town

For their 16th wedding anniversary, Democrats in Hawaii gifted Josh Green and his wife, Jaime, a comfortable margin of victory in the gubernatorial primary Saturday. Green, the state's current lieutenant governor, handily defeated former first lady Vicky Cayetano and Kaiali'I Kahele, who decided to seek the governor's office instead of a second term in the U.S. House. Green, with lei of yellow and purple flowers and green leaves piled high up to his neck, alternated between throwing fists in the air and giving the shaka sign to a boisterous crowd of supporters at his victory party. "On to November, we will win the governorship and lead Hawaii forward," he said to the cheering crowd. He will face former two-term Republican Lt. Gov.
