Report reveals secret North Korea missile base
One of 20 undeclared ballistic missile operating bases in North Korea serves as a missile headquarters, according to a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) a Washington-based think-tank published on Monday. The discovery of an undeclared missile headquarters comes three days after US President Donald Trump said he "looks forward" to another summit to discuss denuclearization with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in late February. The report, which is meant to help provide information related to the denuclearization of North Korea, helps show that although Kim Jong Un vowed to work towards denuclearization at his first summit with President Trump in June, there has since been little concrete progress. According to people familiar with the report, this information means that North Korea is still going to have nuclear operational capability even if they destroy their disclosed nuclear sites. According to reports and satellite images, this base plays a key role in developing ballistic missiles capable of reaching South Korea, Japan, and even the US territory of Guam in the western Pacific.

The story that is still unfolding. A new video that surfaced Sunday shows a before and after view of the encounter in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. In this new video, another group taunts the students from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky with disparaging and vulgar language. The group of black men, who identify as members of the Hebrew Israelites, also shout racist slurs at participants of the Indigenous Peoples Rally and other passersby. The new video adds context to an encounter viewed by many as the latest sign of bigotry infecting the country. Screenshots of a smirking teen staring down Omaha tribe elder Nathan Phillips spread through the internet, sparking widespread outrage. But a teen who says he was involved in the encounter said the students' actions have been wrongly interpreted as racist. In a statement, Nick Sandmann said the students decided to raise their voices to drown out the Hebrew Israelites' inflammatory comments -- not to intimidate or mock Phillips. Phillips has said the teen blocked his escape. But neither Sandmann's statement or the video will be the last word on the controversy…other videos have surfaced as well. After this weekend, the two teams emerging victorious and moving onto the Super Bowl are the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots.
