High-ranking North Korean official suddenly dies in auto accident
South Korean Unification Minister Hong Yong-Pyo sent a message of condolences to Pyongyang. In this regard, Kim Yang Gon was surpassed by only eight other officials.

Corruption Fuels Afghan Losses in Helmand
Many local people in Sangin are resentful of the Afghan government troops, whose military operations destroyed homes and farms. The Afghan forces had some support from the U.S. , the spokesman for NATO’s Operation Resolute Support told CNN on Thurs.
Golden State next host the team who ended their 24-game streak to start the season, the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks came into the game 26th in offensive efficiency, averaging 95 points a game.
Munich terror threat remains in place, stations open again
On Wednesday, Belgian authorities canceled a New Year’s Eve firework display, citing fears of a possible attack. The main entrance to the closed central station in Munich is cordoned off on January 1, 2016.
This time, the defending champs will be seeking to extend their only active win streak, as they have won 29 in a row dating back to last season. More importantly, the Bucks once again didn’t look intimidated by a Warrior team that had all the motivation in the world to prove last Saturday’s loss in Milwaukee was a fluke.
The Warriors gave up 70 in a half because the Bucks shot it well, particularly guards Khris Middleton and Carter-Williams.
Because of the long time from their first loss of the season to their win against the Phoenix Suns, it seemed the Golden State Warriors were in some sort of crisis.
And the Bucks didn’t like the way Green dissed Carter-Williams in a radio interview this week, saying he had no cause to stare down the Warriors bench because the Bucks player had lost his starting spot.
The Boston Celtics will try to hand the Golden State Warriors their first loss of the season, and their cause could be helped by a shorthanded Warriors club.
“As soon as they went back on the court, Draymond was pissed”, interim head coach Luke Walton said before Friday’s game. “I know I needed to step up and make plays”.
Bucks: Former Warriors player Sonny Parker, who is the father of Milwaukee F Jabari Parker, got a nice ovation when shown on the scoreboard in a Warriors shirt and Bucks hat…. “When we take care of the ball and get after it on defense…” Curry also had a pair of two-pointers, giving him 10 of the Warriors’ 21 points. Brook Lopez scored 25 points, and Jarrett Jack had 22 points and 10 assists for the Nets.
It was a high level of play in the first quarter.
“The fight was there and the intent was right”, coach Jason Kidd said. “He was yelling at Steve, and Steve kind of leans over to us and says, ‘We’re good now”. “I mean we had 58 points”.
“Then they made their run”. Most of that damage was done by MCW, who was able to drive into the lane at will and leverage his height over Stephen Curry for free shots and pin-point passes. Center Greg Monroe, their big free-agent acquisition this summer, sustained a mild knee injury earlier this week that forced him to miss the last two games and could keep him out of action. Then it was Curry and Thompson’s turn to punish the bucks down the stretch, though Milwaukee did find a counter by repeatedly running plays through Giannis on the block.
