Pyongyang, November 13 (KCNA) — Talks between Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, and Thongsavanh Phomvihane, foreign minister of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, were held at the Mansudae Assembly Hall here on Nov. 12.

Present at the talks from the DPRK side were Pak Sang Gil, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, and other officials of the Foreign Ministry and from the Lao side were the foreign minister and his party.

The talks exchanged views on the issues of further strengthening the traditional friendly relations between the DPRK and Laos and promoting mutual support and cooperation in the international arena by thoroughly implementing the agreements reached by the top leaders of the two countries last October, and reached a consensus of views on them.

China: BBC “Editing Scandal” Deepens Credibility Crisis! (15.11.2025)

The controversy erupted after The Daily Telegraph revealed an internal BBC memo showing that an October 2024 Panorama episode, Trump: A Second Chance?, had stitched together two segments of Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, 2021, delivered more than 50 minutes apart. The edit created the misleading impression that Trump was directly urging supporters toward the Capitol riot, sparking public outrage and prompting The New York Times to label it as the BBC’s “worst crisis in decades.”

Woman at Centre of Plastic Surgery Scandel!

China: “Ugly Wife Court Case” – is the “Husband Feng Jian [冯健]” Story “True” or “False”? (13.11.2025)

13/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

Having examined the Chinese language online sources – it does seem that this story is true. It seems that it dates back to late 2012 – but every so often (even in China) – it is re-printed with elaborations and revelations which were not in the original story. I did read in the comments beneath one version that the family involved are in fact “Korean-Chinese” – and this is why the woman involved paid for her plastic surgery to be carried-out in South Korea. My instincts were that this is “fake” as it opposes the Socialist laws on equality and those supporting the rights of women and girls. Of course, it could be fake, but I have included a number of Chinese language versions as well as a YouKu news article. Usually, the Chinese State “removes” all fake news and as it has not moved to do this – this suggests this story is true. It is disgusting that a woman and/or a child would be considered “ugly” – as this is a body-fascist attitude contrary to all Socialist ideology.

China: Survey Team Discovers 573 Ancient Stone Fortresses in North-West! (13.11.2025)

The survey revealed that these settlements spanned from about 2800 BC in the late Yangshao period to around 1000 BC in the Shang and Zhou (1046-221 BC) dynasties.

Mostly distributed along riverbanks, the stone fortresses were surrounded by numerous ordinary settlements without defensive stone walls, indicating a clear clustered relationship, said Ma Mingzhi, head of the team.

The development of these stone fortresses shows a clear evolution from small to large in scale, from simple to complex in layout, and from rudimentary to mature in construction techniques — with social hierarchy becoming increasingly distinct.

The survey provides crucial information for a comprehensive understanding of the origin, development, spread and evolution of prehistoric settlements in northern China, Ma added.

Diverse Collection of Stone Tools - Hainan!

China: 13,000 Year-Old Prehistoric Tomb Unearted in Hainan! (11.11.2025)

Archaeologists proved that the remains belong to a juvenile, with decorative textiles made from shells found near its head and waist – the earliest such findings ever reported in China – which offer rare insights into prehistoric cultural practices in Hainan and potential cultural exchanges with Southeast Asia.

Excavations at the Luobidong site are ongoing, trying to fully reveal the cultural significance of the site and provide a scientific foundation for both prehistoric research in Hainan and the development of the Luobidong National Archaeological Site Park.

Neame survived and was decorated with the Victoria Cross, the highest accolade for valour in war.

He continued his career in the army while also pursuing an interest in rifle shooting, and competed in the 1924 Olympics with great success.

Neame went on to train the Tibetan army, before getting called up for World War Two.

He fought, and was captured, in North Africa, then was a prisoner of war in Italy before escaping back to Britain.

He died in 1978 and is buried in the village of Selling in Kent.

His son, with the same name, fought in the Falklands War in 1982.

In his home town of Faversham a plaque on the pavement near the guildhall commemorates Neame’s place in history.
