Susan Rice

Susan Rice called North Korea’s actions “unacceptable” and said the United Nations will not allow North Korea to continue to build a nuclear weapons program. Rice said China has a “strong interest” in stopping North Korea and is “willing to work” with the United States. Rice said North Korea would become “further and further isolated” from the international community and would continue to face “significant additional pressure.”
“They will pay a price,” Rice added. “We’re prepared to step up our efforts.” Rice said it appears North Korea has material for six to eight nuclear devices. “However many they have, that’s too many,” she said. "If you want to continue to test and provoke the international community, they're going to find they'll pay a price because the international community is clear: it's not acceptable," Rice said on CNN television, in reaction to Pyongyang test-firing two short-range missiles Tuesday.
"We agreed yesterday we're going to pursue in the security council a new resolution - a strong resolution with teeth," she said, adding that sanctions "could take very different forms" and might include "economic levers." After Monday's emergency meeting at UN headquarters in New York, member states decided to "immediately" begin working on a new Security Council resolution to address the weapons tests, council president Vitaly Churkin of Russia said, declaring "strong opposition and condemnation of the nuclear test" by the body.

Monica Bellucci s

Thieves used the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival to break into the Paris apartment of Matrix Reloaded beauty Monica Bellucci, it emerged today. As the Italian sex symbol and her actor husband Vincent Cassel appeared on TV from the south of France, the burglars got away with more than £80,000 in cash.
Jewellery and computer and video equipment worth at least double that amount were also taken, as well as Miss Bellucci’s passport – something she needed this week to travel to Hollywood. ‘It was clearly a meticulously planned burglary,’ said one of the officers investigating the burglary in Boulevard de Ménilmontant, in the French capital’s 20th arrondissement. ‘The thieves are believed to have struck just as the stars were appearing on television in Cannes on Sunday evening.
‘They entered the fourth floor apartment via a balcony, smashing a window in the process. Then they pretty much cleared the flat out of anything which was valuable and could be removed easily. ‘There have been plenty of cases of the homes of professional footballers being targeted while they are playing in high-profile matches, but this appears to be the first time that the same kind of thing has happened to actors.’ The 45-year-old former model has appeared in numerous films, including Irreversible and The Passion Of The Christ, in which she played Mary Magdalene.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson was critically injured on Monday in what police said was a tragic accident at home. According to Fox News, Exodus Tyson was found by her 7-year-old brother hanging from the cord of a treadmill. At press time was reported to be in "extremely" critical condition and on life support at St. Joseph's Hospital. Police are calling the mishap a "tragic accident." A police spokesperson told Fox News that there was "nothing in the investigation that revealed anything suspicious."
The toddler was reportedly playing near the exercise equipment in the family's Phoenix home while her mother was elsewhere in the house cleaning on Monday morning. When her mother sent the boy to look for Exodus, he found her tangled in the cord. He alerted the mother, who immediately called 911 and began performing CPR. "Somehow the little girl got something caught across her throat, she became unresponsive, the boy went and got the mother, and the mother came out and found the child," Phoenix Police Sgt. Andy Hill told the Phoenix Fox affiliate.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Exodus Tyson, Mike Tyson’s daughter, as she is currently on life support after an accident involving the family’s treadmill. More details/video regarding the story are here. Exodus Tyson, the 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson, is currently on life support after she was found hanging from a treadmill cord earlier today.
