Tributes were paid to Bob Simon

Korean Air’s ‘nut rage’ boss was jailed

The daughter of Korean Air’s chairman who threw a tantrum after being served macadamia nuts in a bag rather than a dish was sentenced to a year in prison.

North Korea revealed new slogans for its 70th anniversary

The regime’s newspaper revealed 300 new political slogans designed to motivate its people. The new mottos call for citizens to do everything from innihilate the enemy, get into industrial mushroom farming and design cooler school uniforms.
