SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea will not seek outside help to recover from floods that devastated areas near the country’s border with China, leader Kim Jong Un said as he ordered officials to bring thousands of displaced residents to the capital to provide them better care. Kim said it would take about two to three months to rebuild homes and stabilize the areas affected by floods. Until then, his government plans to accommodate some 15,400 people — a group that includes mothers, children, older adults and disabled soldiers — at facilities in Pyongyang, North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said Saturday.  KCNA said Kim made the comments during a two-day trip to northwestern town of Uiju through Friday to meet flood victims and discuss recovery efforts. The agency gave Kim its typical effusive praise, saying the visit showed his “sacred leadership” and “warm love and ennobling spirit of making devoted service for the people.” State media reports said heavy rains in late July left 4,100 houses, 7,410 acres of agricultural fields, and numerous other public buildings, structures, roads and railways flooded in the northwestern city of Sinuiju and the neighboring town of Uiju.

North Korean athletes have missed on one of the prized freebies at the Paris Olympics because of U.N. sanctions. South Korean tech giant Samsung, a major Olympic sponsor, has been giving all Olympic athletes its latest Galaxy Z Flip 6 folding smartphones—and also encouraging them to take selfies on the medal podium and around Olympic venues, Reuters reported. But after a warning from Seoul that giving smartphones to North Korean athletes would breach U.N. sanctions imposed over Pyongyang’s nuclear program, the IOC confirmed that 14 North Korean athletes in Paris did not receive the $1100 phones. “We can confirm that the athletes of the National Olympic Committee of DPRK have not received the Samsung phones,” an IOC spokesperson said. The same issue arose at the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea when North Koreans were offered the phones but only if they promised to give them back before they left. The team refused.Read it at ReutersRead more at The Daily Beast.
