North Korea has told neighboring Japan it plans to launch a satellite in coming days, which may be an attempt to put a military reconnaissance satellite into orbit. The notice gave a launch window from May 31 and June 11 and said the launch may affect waters in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and east of the Philippines’ Luzon Island. Japan’s coast guard issued a safety warning for ships in the area during those days because of potential debris. Pyongyang said earlier this month its first military spy satellite was ready for launch. North Korea’s past launches have demonstrated an ability to deliver a satellite into space, but there are questions about the satellite’s capability.

The man broke the window with the oxygen tank while he was alone in the hospital room and jumped out onto a ledge. The officer and hospital security guards went back into the room to stop the man’s escape attempt, but he fell 20 feet.

Biden administration officials have sought to portray immigration not as one of America’s most intractable problems, but as an issue for the entire Western hemisphere to address, a shift in focus that plays to Biden’s faith in the power of global diplomacy.
Race has emerged as a central issue, and a delicate one, in the 2024 presidential contest as the Republican Party fields one of its most racially diverse group of primary candidates ever. In most cases, the candidates of color play down the significance of their racial heritage. They also oppose policies around policing, voting rights and education that are specifically designed to benefit disadvantaged communities and combat structural racism. But the GOP's increasingly diverse leadership, backed by evolving politics on issues such as immigration, suggest the party might have an opportunity to widen its appeal in 2024.
