    Kim Jong-nam murder trial to proceed as judge rules evidence points to ‘well-planned conspiracy’

    A Malaysian court ruled on Thursday that the trial of two women implicated in the assassination of Kim Jong-un’s estranged half brother, Kim Jong-nam, should continue. Indonesian Siti Aisyah, 25, and Vietnamese suspect Doan Thi Huong, 29, arrived separately at the Shah Alam court on the outskirts of the capital, Kuala Lumpur, shortly after 9am on Thursday. Both wore headscarves and armoured vests as they were escorted by heavily armed guards. High Court Judge Azmi Ariffin said it could be inferred from evidence presented in court that there was a "well-planned conspiracy" between the two women and four North Korean suspects at large to kill Kim, 45, "systemically." He said he "cannot…

    EVOLVE 70 recap: Thatcher puts his title on the line against Page

    Image: JJ Williams With Johnny Gargano and TJ Perkins bidding farewell at EVOLVE 69 last month, Saturday night’s show represented something of a new era for the company. But for the EVOLVE Championship, there was unfortunately only more of the same. Timothy Thatcher continued his lackluster title reign with one of its lower points in a title defense against Ethan Page at EVOLVE 70. Prior to the show, EVOLVE did a good job effectively promoting the match and made it feel like a big deal. It even felt like there was a real possibility of Page winning the title. But, like most of Thatcher’s recent title defenses, the match was again placed in the mid-card and it…

    Donald Trump announces new US trade agreement with Mexico and ditches the name ‘Nafta’ 

      Donald Trump has announced that America and Mexico had agreed terms for a new trade deal, moving a step closer to delivering his campaign promise of renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement [Nafta].  The US president said he hoped the deal would replace Nafta but declared that he was ditching the old name because it had “bad connotations” for America, which he believes has suffered under the original terms.  Mr Trump challenged Canada – the third signatory to Nafta – to come back to the negotiating table and suggested that the country could be hit with tariffs on its car exports unless it agrees to talk in good…

    Hamilton expects Hungarian GP qualifying to be ‘a lot closer’

    Lewis Hamilton played down Mercedes’ performance on Friday at the Hungaroring, the day’s pace setter believing the field will draw “a lot closer” in qualifying on Saturday. Hamilton and teammate Valtteri Bottas enjoyed a comfortable advantage in FP1, outpacing their closest rival – Racing Point – by over half a second. But confirmation in FP2 of the Black Arrows’ domination at the twisty Hungaroring was undermined by the adverse weather conditions that impacted the almost pointless afternoon session. Red Bull, viewed as Mercedes’ main competitor in Hungary, put in a rather subdued performance in the morning’s dry conditions, with Max Verstappen concluding FP1 P8 and 1.4s adrift from Hamilton. Hamilton:…
