PHOTO The White House is yet to comment on Donald Trump's retweet. REUTERS: DAVID MOIR, FILE PHOTO In the latest sign his campaign fury has not faded, US President Donald Trump has taken another swing at former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, retweeting a mock video that shows him hitting her with a golf ball. The video shows Mr Trump hitting a golf ball that, in the next frame, seemingly strikes Mrs Clinton in the back before she stumbles and falls down while boarding a plane. It appears to be a doctored version of news footage from 2011 that shows the then-secretary of state falling after climbing the aeroplane stairs. Mr Trump retweeted the brief video on his official Twitter account early on Sunday (local time). A spokesman for Mrs Clinton declined to comment. The White House issued no immediate comment, and Trump aides have said in the past that his tweets "speak for themselves". Back in July, Mr Trump vented his rage against the media by posting someone else

Key points: *North's intermediate-range weapon launch on Friday signalled defiance of rivals *President Moon Jae-in says South has strength to "inflict a level of damage it would be impossible to recover from" *Annual gathering of world leaders at General Assembly will discuss North Korea South Korean President Moon Jae-in, a liberal who initially pushed for talks with North Korea, said its tests currently made dialogue "impossible". "The sanctions and pressure by the international community will only tighten so that North Korea has no choice but to take the path for genuine dialogue [for nuclear disarmament]," Mr Moon said. "If North Korea provokes us or our allies, we have the strength to smash the att

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said on Sunday the UN Security Council has run out of options on containing North Korea's nuclear program and the United States may have to turn the matter over to the Pentagon. "We have pretty much exhausted all the things that we can do at the Security Council at this point," Haley told CNN's "State of the Union," adding that she was perfectly happy to hand the North Korea

Two Druze men from Hurfeish in the Upper Galilee were convicted of intentionally endangering people's lives for their involvement in an attack on a military ambulance carrying wounded Syrians in June 2015. The maximum sentence for their crime is 20 years in prison. Kamal Amar and Yusuf Sharif were convicted in the Haifa District Court of willful endangerment as the ambulance passed through their town.

EMIR OF KUWAIT US ally Kuwait has given North Korea's ambassador a month to leave the Gulf state and will downgrade its diplomatic representation with Pyongyang, a senior Kuwaiti diplomat told AFP Sunday. North Korea's diplomatic presence in the emirate will also be reduced to a charge d'affaires and three diplomats, the source told AFP, requesting anonymity.

Kuwait has also decided to stop issuing visas to North Koreans and suspend all trade relations and flight links with Pyongyang. Asian diplomatic sources have told AFP that South Korea
