North Korea: evacuation, blackout drills in new reports | Perth Now

REPORTS of mass evacuation drills in North Korean district centres have heightened fears of an impending ballistic missile (ICBM) test.

But it could also be dictator Kim Jong-un once again deliberately stirring up unease among his population.

South Korean based NKNews cites several anonymous sources as telling it that several cities on the east coast of North Korea undertook the war-preparation drills, including blackout and evacuation scenarios, last week.

The capital Pyongyang was not among them.

Kushner “inadvertently omitted” assets worth at least $10.6 million from financial disclosures

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner “inadvertently omitted” more than 70 assets worth at least $10.6 million from his personal financial disclosure reports, according to revised paperwork released Friday.

The previously unreported assets were included in updated disclosure reports certified by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics on Thursday as part of the “ordinary review process,” according to Kushner’s filing.

Among the new set of assets Kushner disclosed, which could be worth as much as $51 million, he reported owning an art collection worth between $5 million and $25 million. The new forms also reflect that Kushner sold his interest in an aging shopping mall along the Jersey Shore, and no longer has a stake in a company that had held an interest in apartments in Toledo, Ohio.

Kushner also clarified his $5 million to $25 million stake in a holding company that owns Cadre, a real estate tech startup he co-founded with his brother, Joshua, that investors valued at $800 million.

Kushner’s wife and the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, also filed new federal disclosures. She reported assets of at least $66 million and earned at least $13.5 million in income last year from her various business ventures, including more than $2.4 million from the new Trump hotel near the White House.

The filings reflect the extraordinary wealth of Trump and her husband, who jointly made at least $100 million since the beginning of 2016 and hold at least $206 million in combined assets, including some that they report are being sold off. The couple stepped down from running their companies and left behind their lavish Manhattan apartment to move their three small children to Washington earlier this year.

The new disclosures come as Kushner faces renewed questions about his vast business holdings and how they may conflict with his role shaping public policy.

A lawyer advising Kushner said that federal officials are allowed to amend their initial financial disclosures before they are certified, and stressed that Kushner had complex finances.

Bodyguard to protect Schapelle Corby. ‘Please, no more foreigners like this’: Indonesian authorities

4085188A00000578-4528872-image-a-37_1495422362918.jpgIndonesian parole authorities have indicated they are happy to see Schapelle Corby
leave the country after the media circus surrounding her time in Bali.

Her long-time parole officer Ni Ketut Sukiati says she will be relieved when Corby returns home to the Gold Coast ahead of her deportation on May 27.
‘Please no more foreigners like this. It makes us so busy … We’re tired. Please just one
Corby,’ Ms Ketut Sukiati said, Perth Now reports.
‘She didn’t want to talk. She was angry all the time like she was stressed. Even while
here with us, she is mad at us.’

Meanwhile, the man believed to be responsible for convicted drug smuggler Schapelle
Corby’s safe return to Australia has been pictured arriving at Sydney Airport for his flight to Bali.
John McLeod, director of personal protection company Tora Solutions, was seen
clutching his passport as he prepared to fly to the Indonesian island to act as security
guard to Corby.

Mr McLeod has worked as a bodyguard to countless celebrity clients including Leonard
Cohen, Roger Federer, Lady Gaga and even the Dalai Lama and is thought to have
been tasked with protecting Corby as she heads home to Australia after 13 years.
He has been employed by many big-name celebrities visiting Australia and provides VIP
security to those needing protection on the Gold Coast.

It is likely Mr McLeod’s role in protecting Corby will involve shielding her from the
anticipated media frenzy and taking of unauthorised photos.
Bodyguard Adrian Gard had been previously employed by Corby to protect her from
Indonesian media following her release on parole in 2014.
Corby’s family have revealed the 39-year-old is ‘afraid’ of her long-awaited return to
Australia and has taken to hiding in her Bali villa during her last few days in Indonesia.

She has been pictured wearing a sarong to cover her face as she comes in and out of
her home and has pleaded with media to stop harassing her.
Tony Wilson, the only writer given full access to her family, has said Corby is suffering
from serious mental health issues and will struggle with her notoriety upon returning
home.
