Confrontation or dialogue? You choose, North Korea’s Kim tells US

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has warned that Pyongyang was ready for confrontation with the US but also left the door open for dialogue, depending on Washington’s stance.

A confrontation between a foreign tourist and residents on a popular Indonesian holiday island has reignited debate over the regulation of mosque loudspeakers in the Muslim-majority country. The dispute, involving a New Zealand national on Gili Trawangan, has drawn fresh attention to whether related government guidelines on the use of such speakers should instead become a binding law.
