Mandatory credit… A skeleton-filled ghost ship carrying the remains of eight ill-fated seafarers washed ashore on Japan's North Korean-facing coast, the Japanese Coast Guard said Monday -- days after the body of a suspected North Korean man and parts of another wrecked wooden craft were discovered on a Japanese island. The grisly find could be evidence of desperate defectors trying a new route to freedom after despot Kim Jong Un has clamped down on those fleeing the Hermit Kingdom this year. A Japanese resident spotted the 22-foot wooden boat Friday floating in Miyazawa Beach in Oga, Akita Prefecture, along the Sea of Japan, Japan Times reported. Officials searched the vessel Sunday and Monday and found several of the remains were "skeletonized," indi...

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will not campaign for Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore before the Dec. 12 special election, a White House official said Monday. The president had held the door open to campaigning for Moore last week, when he all but endorsed his candidacy while attacking his Democratic opponent, Doug Jones. Trump also made public statements in which he raised doubts about the accounts of women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct decades ago, when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. The White House official told The Associated Press that Trump would not travel to Alabama on Moore's behalf. The official was not authorized to discuss the president's plans publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Over the weekend, Trump took to Twitter to bash Jones, saying that electing the Democrat as Alabama's next senator "would be a disaster" and warning of damage to his legislative agenda. "The last thin...

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sharing the sweet details of the royal's proposal — and it was "very" romantic! The newly-engaged couple sat down for their first-ever joint interview together on Monday, just like Prince William and Kate Middleton did following the news of their engagement in November 2010. According to the couple, the proposal happened a few weeks ago at their cottage in Kensington Palace. "It was a cozy night," Meghan told the BBC. "We were roasting chicken. It was just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got down on one knee." Harry added: "It was a really nice moment — it was just the two of us.

Senator John McCain says Hillary Clinton should not have published her book so soon after losing the 2016 election because it makes her look like she's still campaigning and has nothing else to do. "What's the f-----g point? Keep the fight up? History will judge that campaign, and it's always a period of time before they do," McCain told Esquire magazine in a long interview Monday. "You've got to move on. This is Hillary's problem right now: She doesn't have anything to do." McCain, 81, spoke with the magazine about his recent cancer diagnosis and the mutual animosity between him and President Donald Trump. But he had sharp criticism for Clinton as well, arguing that the defeated Democratic candidate should have taken a page from his 2008 presidential run as a Republican against Barack Obama. "One of the almost irresistible impulses you have when you lose is to somehow justify why you lost and how you were mistr...
