| What Is The Massive Document Leak Known As The Paradise Papers? Posted: 05 Nov 2017 01:51 PM PST  The Paradise Papers closely resemble a document leak from last year known as the Panama Papers, which also detailed the offshore holdings and tax avoidance schemes of some of the world's most powerful people. The Panama Papers caused a significant international fallout when they were released in April 2016, even leading to the resignation of Iceland's prime minister amid protests and the surrounding controversy. The effects of this new Paradise Papers leak remain to be seen, but it has already put increased scrutiny on high-profile figures including U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Queen Elizabeth II.

| At least 19 dead as Typhoon Damrey batters Vietnam Posted: 04 Nov 2017 08:44 PM PDT  At least 19 people have died and a dozen are missing after Typhoon Damrey barrelled into Vietnam, authorities said Sunday, just days before the country welcomes world leaders to the APEC summit. The storm made landfall on Saturday and is the worst to hit the southern coastal region – an area normally spared typhoons which are usually hit further north – in decades. Heavy rains inundated communities with floods as 130 km/h (80 mph) winds blew off roofs and knocked down electricity poles, according to Vietnam's search and rescue office. Coastal Khanh Hoa province, home to the popular white sand Nha Trang beach, was hardest hit with 14 dead and 10 injured, the government said.

A dozen flights were also cancelled while railway services were suspended, while local authorities in Phu Yen province said Tuy Hoa city "has never suffered such devastation". There were also reports of minor damage around 500 kilometres north in Danang, the coastal city where Vietnam will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit next week. The week-long gathering, which kicks off Monday, will bring together leaders including US President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping. Vietnam has been pummelled by a dozen major storms since the start of 2017, with at least 240 people reported dead or missing in floods and landslides. In September some 80 were killed after Typhoon Doksuri battered central provinces with rain, destroying thousands of homes and triggering severe floods. The World Bank said natural disasters have killed more than 13,000 people and caused more than $6.4 billion in property damage to Vietnam over the past two decades.

| Calls for Lenin's body to finally be buried ahead of 100th anniversary of Bolshevik revolution Posted: 06 Nov 2017 07:36 AM PST  A debate over whether to bury Vladimir Lenin, whose embalmed body remains on display on Red Square, has risen again and even led to a stabbing ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. The ruling party has tried to play down Tuesday's centennial as the antithesis of Vladimir Putin's tenets of stability and traditional values. But in a newspaper interview on Wednesday calling for the anniversary to be observed without "confrontation", Valentina Matviyenko, the speaker of the upper house of parliament, was asked about removing Lenin from his glass sarcophagus in the mausoleum next to the Kremlin. She suggested a referendum could decide the long-standing issue. Ramzan Kadyrov, the strongman leader of Russia's Chechnya republic and an outspoken Muslim believer, responded on social media that Mr Putin should decide, adding that it was "not right that a coffin with a dead person is standing in the heart of Russia". Lenin's mausoleum is located next to the Kremlin walls in downtown Moscow. Credit: Vladimir Smirnov/TASS via Getty Images Other politicians soon chimed in. Natalya Poklonskaya, an MP with the ruling United Russia party and the leader of a crusade against a recent film about Tsar Nicholas II's affair with a ballerina, said the continuing display of the communist's cadaver was "inhumane". Ksenia Sobchak, a liberal socialite and journalist who has announced she will run in March's presidential election, promised to bury him if she won. But a final farewell to the revolutionary, who was revered as the embodiment of Soviet ideology even after Joseph Stalin's personality cult was denounced and abandoned, would anger the Communist Party, the largest minority in parliament. Party boss Gennady Zyuganov, who laid flowers at the mausoleum with an international delegation on Sunday, argued that since Lenin's late niece had supported his display, burying him would in fact be "unnatural and blasphemous". Ramzan Kadyrov, head of Chechnya, reignited the debate over Lenin this week. Credit: Mikhail Metzel/TASS via Getty Images It would also mean the closure of the "Lenin lab," the purpose-built Moscow institute responsible for preserving him which has also embalmed other leaders like Ho Chi Minh and Kim Jong-il. Although Lenin's pale head and hands are all that's visible beneath his dark suit, the lab's secretive group of specialists reportedly continue to work full-time preserving every aspect of his corpse, from the flexibility of his knees to the hair attachment on his chest. A state tender revealed that some £140,000 was spent on maintaining Lenin in 2016. Given the array of dyes and mixtures applied, what's on display is "closer to a wholly constructed representation of Lenin's dead body than to the original, once living man," according to Alexei Yurchak, a University of California Berkeley professor who is writing a book about his preservation.

Credit: Kirril Kudryavtsev/AFP/Getty Images Nonetheless, the body remains an important symbol and the object of passionate debate. On Thursday last week, two drinking buddies in a town in southwestern Russia got into such a furious argument about whether to bury Lenin that one stabbed the other with a kitchen knife, local media reported. A survey by VTsIOM, a state-owned pollster, earlier this year found that 63 percent of Russians favoured burying Lenin, but only a third thought it should be done in the near future. Mr Putin, who has tended to dodge the issue since he came to power nearly two decades ago, has avoided entering the latest debate about what to do with Lenin. The presidential administration said on Thursday it was "not a topic on the Kremlin agenda", and Moscow authorities have refused to allow an opposition rally next week demanding the corpse's removal. Proposed legislation to bury Lenin stalled in April after the government spoke out against it. A Russian Orthodox Church spokesman said while he should have been buried in 1991, now was not the time to "reopen old wounds". A museum near Odessa has collected Lenin monuments dismantled under Ukraine's decommunisation law. Credit: Sergei Supinsky/AFP Photo/Getty Images According to analyst Masha Lipman, Mr Putin is unlikely to take a stance on the issue before the election, especially given the mass dismantling of Lenin statues by the pro-Western government in Ukraine. "It's impossible to say Lenin is bad and we don't want the glorification of this cult that goes back to the Soviet days, because that's what the Ukrainians are doing," she said.

President Donald Trump will visit Beijing on November 8, against the background of North Korea's repeated threat to detonate a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean and an increasing sense of cluelessness among the international community about how to deal with Pyongyang. One thing is certain when Trump meets President Xi Jinping in Beijing: he will push very hard for China to impose stronger pressure on North Korea.

| Donald Trump says Japan will buy US hardware to shoot North Korean missiles 'out of the sky' Posted: 06 Nov 2017 07:25 AM PST  United States president Donald Trump said on Monday that Japan will be able to shoot North Korean missiles "out of the sky" after buying billions of dollars worth of American military equipment. Directly linking trade and security issues, Mr Trump was speaking on the second day of his Asia visit following a summit in Tokyo with his ally and new best political friend Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister. In addition to repeating his mantra that the "era of strategic patience" with North Korea was over, Mr Trump also pressed Japan to lower its trade deficit with the US and purchase more of its sophisticated military hardware. Referring to North Korean missiles, Mr Trump told reporters: "He (Abe) will shoot them out of the sky when he completes the purchase of lots of additional military equipment from the United States. "The prime minister is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment, as he should. And we make the best military equipment by far." In response, Mr Abe added that his country was currently capable of intercepting missiles from North Korea "if necessary" and confirmed that he was looking into a potential arms deal with his close military ally. U.S. President Donald Trump and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe hold a joint news conference Credit: REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst Mr Trump has made no secret of his hardline stance against North Korea due to its flagrant defiance of UN Security Council sanctions as it pursues its nuclear weapons and missile development programme. Earlier in his Tokyo trip, Mr Trump reportedly expressed his disbelief that Japan had not tapped into its "samurai" spirit and shot down two North Korean missiles that flew over the country before landing in the Pacific Ocean earlier this year. Meanwhile, Pyongyang was quick to respond to Mr Trump's visit to Japan, with its state media accusing the US president earlier of driving tensions "to the extremes", stating that "no one can predict when the lunatic old man of the White House, lost to senses, will start a nuclear war". Trump empties his box of koi food while he and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe feed the pet fish at Akasaka Palace Credit: REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst Mr Trump arrived in Japan on Sunday on the first leg of his highly anticipated five-country Asia tour, which kicked off with a seemingly leisurely day of bonding with Mr Abe while playing golf, swapping gifts and eating hamburgers. Day two, however, took on a more serious note. Trade emerged as one of the few areas of potential contention between the two strong allies, with Mr Trump accusing Japan of unfair trade practices. Addressing business leaders gathered at the US ambassador's residence in Tokyo, Mr Trump said trade with Japan was neither free nor reciprocal, highlighting his desire to renegotiate bilateral trade relations. Trump in Japan "The United States has suffered massive trade deficits with Japan for many, many years, almost $70 billion annually," said Mr Trump. "We want fair and open trade, but right now our trade with Japan is not fair and it's not open," he said. "But I know it will be soon." North Korea remained high on the agenda, with the president also attending an emotional meeting with relatives of Japanese abducted by Pyongyang to train their spies. Profile | Shinzō Abe Among them were the parents and twin brothers of Megumi Yokota, who was 13 when she was kidnapped by North Korean agents while walking home from school 40 years ago. Following the meeting, Mr Trump told reporters: "We'll work together and see if we can do something, now the spotlight is on." He added: "Perhaps the regime itself would send them back. I think it would be a tremendous signal if Kim Jong-un would send them back." Perhaps surprisingly for a president famed for his outspoken comments and accidental gaffes while visiting a society famed for its delicate cultural nuances, the rest of the day appeared to pass smoothly for Mr Trump. The president earlier survived the trickiest of protocol tests when he met the Japanese emperor – and circumvented potential controversy by giving him a firm nod and handshake. Mr Trump's predecessor Barack Obama was widely mocked by right wing critics for bowing deeply when he met the emperor in 2009 in an apparent breach of presidential protocol of not deferring to royalty. Meanwhile, one moment of levity occurred when Mr Abe and Mr Trump were captured on camera delicately spooning fish food into a historic pond of koi carp in Tokyo's Akasaka Palace – before apparently running out of patience as both dumped the entire contents of their fish food boxes into the water. The evening was likely to continue with further mirth as Mr Trump was scheduled to be serenaded at a state banquet by the quirky Japanese popstar Pikotaro, reportedly a favourite of his granddaughter. Mr Trump was due to bid farewell to Mr Abe, golf diplomacy and Japanese pop performances on Tuesday – and flying onto Seoul for potentially more sombre meetings with South Korean president Moon Jae-in and a visit to Camp Humphreys, a major new military hub for 28,500 US forces just south of the capital.

A small group of Army engineers is working overtime to make this unfortunate fact of armored warfare an artifact of the past. The Army is currently testing a next-generation video-display system designed to offer "complete visibility" to a buttoned-up crew by integrating the video and sensor feeds from individual operator stations into a single, unified display, the branch announced on Oct. 27.

The luxury company unleashed a line of needlessly expensive everyday objects, appropriately named Everyday Objects. While ridiculously expensive pants and needlessly flashy objects have become somewhat of a mocking trend on the internet recently, Tiffany & Co. has pushed the envelope with this one. SEE ALSO: Moncler is selling a dog parka and boy is it expensive The line is described on the company's website as a collection that "transforms utilitarian items into handcrafted works of art." It features a $1,500 Sterling silver coffee can, a $9,000 ball of yarn, and $350 straw. Image: tiffany and co Image: Tiffany & Co Image: tiffany & co But it doesn't end there — the company has released dozens of totally normal products that nobody needs at totally exorbitant prices. There's a $375 ice cream scoop, a $300 silver yo-yo, and even a $600 Band-Aid box, which will definitely make the Band-Aids heal your wounds faster. Of course, they slapped these normal objects with Sterling silver, putting "the signature Tiffany Blue® hue of this design's enamel accent" on some.
