In what’s sure to further to disrupt tensions in and around the Korean Peninsula, the DPRK is said to be modernizing a decommissioned Soviet Golf II class diesel submarines in order to carry ballistic missiles. According to South Korea’s Yonhap news, “The new submarine is 67 meters long with a beam of 6.6 meters, and has a dive displacement in the 3,000-tonne range.” It was only September when top military officials said it was doubtful North Korea had a sub capable of firing missiles such of these, in light of this new information it stands to reason we will see more militaristic activity, and perhaps soon.
Rurik Jutting is the 29-year-old securities trader said to have previously worked for Bank of America Merrill Lynch who has been arrested and charged with a grusome double homicide in Hong Kong. Reports indicate that Jutting showed no emotions when charges were being levied against him. At Monday's hearing, Jutting's lawyer, Martyn Richmond, alleged his client was denied contact with British consular officials and his defense attorney. Jutting has not sought bail.
