Labour 'tried to cover up rape'
Party official suggested allegation would harm my career, says female activist

Bex Bailey said she was discouraged from reporting the alleged attack
A senior Labour official tried to cover up the alleged rape of a member of staff at a party event, it was claimed yesterday as the Westminster sex scandal deepened.

Bex Bailey, 25, a former member of the national executive committee, waived her right to anonymity to reveal that she had been raped during a party event in 2011 when she was 19. When she tried to report the incident two years later she claimed that the official tried to dissuade her because it could damage her career.

The allegation is the most serious yet in a growing storm over sexual misconduct in politics. In a separate claim made yesterday, a parliamentary staff member said that she had been sexually assaulted by an MP

North Korea said the new missile reached an altitude of about 4,475 km (2,780 miles) - more than 10 times the height of the International Space Station - and flew 950 km (590 miles) during its 53-minute flight. Images released by North Korea on Thursday appeared to show it has succeeded in developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon anywhere in the United States and it could be only two or three tests away from being declared combat ready, U.S.-based experts said on Thursday. North Korea released dozens of photos and a video after Wednesday's launch of the new Hwasong-15 missile, and leader Kim Jong Un declared the country had "finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force". U.S.-based experts, some of whom have been sceptical about past North Korean claims to have put all of the United States in range, said data from the latest test and the photos appeared to confirm North Korea has a missile of suffici...

There are critical differences between the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. Cuban crisis was handled largely in private save for the naval "embargo", but the North Korean crisis has been handled mostly in public, writes Klass [AP] It has become popular to describe the current situation on the Korean Peninsula as a "slow motion Cuban Missile Crisis". The temptation to do so is understandable since there are significant similarities between the two. For instance, both occurred because the militarily weaker power made a strategic move to even the balance. In 1962, the Soviets tried to sneak missiles into range of the United States to offset their lack of reliable intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM). Today, North Korea is undertaking an accelerated ICBM and associated nuclear warhead programme to deter the overwhelming conventional and nuclear superiority of the US. Yet, there are critical differences that make the North Kor...
