- North Korea detains US citizen
US citizen Jun Young Su was arrested in November for committing an as yet unspecified crime against North KoreaNorth Korea has confirmed it has arrested an American man for committing an unspecified crime and is preparing to indict him.The man, identified by the North's official Korean Central News Agency as Jun Young Su, is the latest US citizen to be detained in the reclusive communist state in recent years.North Korea informed Washington about the situation and Jun is being given necessary humanitarian conveniences including consular contact with Swedish Embassy officials in Pyongyang, the news agency dispatch said.Earlier this week, the US State Department called for North Korea to release one of its citizens and said Swedish officials had visited the American.The US which fought on South Korea's side during the 1950-53 Korean War doesn't have diplomatic staff inside North Korea and Sweden handles Washington's interests there.Several Americans have been detained in North Korea in recent years and freeing them often requires high-profile negotiations.In August, former President Jimmy Carter brought home Aijalon Gomes, who had been sentenced to eight years' hard labor for crossing into the North from China.

- Obama, post-Osama
I know: Friday was my last day with the Guardian. But I haven't started my new gig yet, and if an event like this doesn't bring a journalist out of temporary retirement, then he better be checked for a pulse. So I huddled with Matt Seaton, and we agreed that a few hundred words on how the killing of Osama bin Laden will impact Barack Obama's political fortunes were in order.First, the obvious: Obama is certainly a stronger president today than he was two days ago. I watched the ceremony today in which he bestowed posthumous medals of honor on two US servicemen who fought in the Korean war. The tributes to these two men, both of whom sacrificed their lives to save their men, would have been sincere and moving in any case.But in the present context, I couldn't help but think: for those families, for all the military people in that room, for all the US military people in this country and around the world, Obama has a degree of credibility now that he'd lacked before. He's not a military man, not steeped in military culture. That's all still true. But now it's basically canceled out. He got bin Laden. Period stop. An utterly un-rebuttable statement of strength.And I think we will see as more details come out, indeed as we have already seen, that a big part of this operation's success had to do with Obama himself. The national-security meetings he ran, the questions he asked, the decisions he made. I don't want bombs, he said; I don't want to kill children while we do this, and I don't want a leg there and a hand there. I want a body, and I want proof, before America and (more importantly) a possibly doubting world.In addition to that, there is the point - often made by now, but virtually the first thing I thought of last night - that Obama had said back in 2007 that he'd ta 私が知っている：金曜日は、ガーディアン紙との私の最後の日でした

- North and South Korea to hold military talks
Both countries have agreed to hold their first working-level talks in two years, Seoul's defense ministry has saidThe two Koreas have agreed to hold the first working-level military talks in two years, Seoul's defence ministry announced today. Officers of each nation were due to meet tomorrow in the truce village of Panmunjom, within the demilitarised zone, the ministry said.North Korea proposed the meeting mainly to discuss the western maritime border, arranged by the UN at the end of the 1950-53 Korean war and a source of constant tension between the two countries. Seoul has repeatedly rejected the North's long-standing demands that the sea border be changed.North KoreaSouth Koreaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- North Korea v South Korea: mapping every incident from 1958 to 2010
North and South Korea are in a state of heightened tensions following attacks on Yeonpyeong island. How many of these incidents have there been - and where were they?• Get the dataTwo South Korean marines have died after North Korea fired shells at the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong. South Korea's Joint Chief of Staff said 16 others were injured during the bombardment of the island, which is located near the countries' disputed western border.This is obviously not the first time this has happened - there have been over 150 incidents since the Korean War in 1950, that we know about. The reason we do know about these is because of an exhaustive report by the Congressional Research Service, published in 2007. It covers every incident, from diplomatic hostilities, through to the more serious events where people have died.Some of these events have occured around the world.We wanted to map those events, using Google Fusion tables - and that's what you can see above. There are some hefty caveats here. Where we didn't know the precise location, we have made an educated guess, based on reports and the location details we do have. The other thing worth noting is that this was compiled in the US - a report compiled in Pyongyang would look very very different.This is just a starting point.
