World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain

China says welcomes North Korea’s decision to halt nuclear, missile tests.

China Saturday said it welcomed North Korea’s decision to halt nuclear tests and intercontinental missile launches, with Pyongyang’s chief ally saying the move would help promote denuclearisation in the flashpoint region. “China believes the decision to stop nuclear tests and focus on developing the economy and improving people’s living standards will help further ease the situation on the Korean peninsula and help to promote the process of denuclearisation and attempts to find a political settlement,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said in a statement. “China will support North Korea … (to engage in) dialogue and consultation with the relevant parties.” The surprise announcement comes less than a week before the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meets South Korean President Moon Jae-in for a summit in the Demilitarised Zone that divides the peninsula, ahead of an eagerly-awaited encounter with US President Donald Trump.

13 Fashion Hacks For Stylish Men.

1. The “Sometimes, always, never” rule of jacket buttons  One important rule to note is that the top button of your jacket should sometimes be buttoned depending on your style, the middle button should always be buttoned as it pulls the jacket together and is flattering, and the last button should never be buttoned as it ruins the tailoring of the jacket. 2. The right way to roll shirt sleeves Rolling the cuff slowly up your sleeve really isn’t the best way. Instead, roll back the cuff once and pull it up just below your elbow. Then take the bottom portion and fold it up so that it covers the bottom cuff. This way,  your shirt sleeves won’t unroll again. 3. Hanging suits and dress shirts  Use cedar wood hangers to hang your suits and dress shirts. The cedar acts as a repellent for moths and absorbs moisture. The thicker hangers also will not damage or stretch out clothing. 4. Packing a suit To pack a suit without getting it wrinkled, simply wrap the suit in tis

I’m not finished’ vows sacked Japan coach Halilhodzic.

Former Japan coach Vahid Halilhodzic, who was sensationally fired just two months before the World Cup, returned to Tokyo Saturday vowing to fight his dismissal. Japan named veteran Akira Nishino as its new national football manager earlier this month to replace Halilhodzic after a series of disappointing performances by the Blue Samurai. “I still don’t understand what has happened,” Halilhodzic said after arriving at Haneda airport on his first return to the country since his dismissal.”I came here to find out the truth,” he said. “I was pushed into a tiresome place and feel as if I was dumped into a trash box,” the Franco-Bosnian told reporters through an interpreter. “I have to fight against what would damage my pride,” he said. “I’m not finished.” Halilhodzic plans to hold a news conference in Tokyo next week. After being hired in March 2015, he steered the national team to qualification for the finals in Russia in June but has since been panned for the tea

He may lack experience at the highest level of the club game, with Fenerbahce and Stuttgart the most notable names on his CV, but the 58-year-old is rightly regarded as one of the game's top coaches.
