North Korea not to surrender its nuclear arsenal

North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho strongly opposed the bargain by the United Nation to hand over its nuclear arsenal for negotiation adding that it’s for the "strategic option" against the threat from the United States.  He alsothreatens thatthe missiles which the country has can penetrate any territories of the United States.

North Korea’s top official on 6th August disagrees with the proposal from the united nation claiming that its nuclear arsenal is the top priority for its country’s security.

 

North Korea’s main objectives for attending the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) gathering in Philippine was to stop its missile from launching but not to sign the proposal sanction by the U.N. The foreign minister clearly pointed out the threat from Japan and its allies are one of the reasons why not surrendering its arsenal is the right thing to do for the security of its nation.

Why SC says no to yoga as compulsory subject in school?

The Supreme Court disagree with a petition filed by a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and Deepak Gupta to make Yoga compulsory in schools claiming that it was for the Centre to take a call on such issues. The Court clearly remind the jury that "RTE Act does not specifically mention about the curriculum of yoga hence it should only be an integral part of the curriculum of 'Health and Physical Education' in which schools affiliated with CBSE and who adopted NCERT curriculum and syllabus ‘Health and Physical Education' have already enforced from Class 1 to 10 and optional at Classes 11 and 12.

 

The Centre also clarified that majority of schools were under the control of States and Union Territories. Hence, it is the duty of the states and union territories to ensure that schools should followed the provisions of the NCF (National Curriculum Framework), under which yoga is only an integral part of 'Health and Physical Education' at all levels of school education.
