- JUST IN: Photos of Kim Jong Un opening a fertilizer factory in Sunchon on May 1, according to KCNA.
- Here's video. Possibly the first time ever Kim Jong Un has answered a question from a foreign reporter.
00:00 - There you have it. Photo op or not, Trump is the first sitting US president to enter North Korea.
- Extraordinary personal message from Kim Jong Un to Donald Trump on KCNA. I don't think I've ever seen something like this in NK media.
- JUST IN: First pictures of North Korea's Hwasong-15 launch yesterday
- The #koreansummit is news everywhere, except North Korea. Here's a taster of what North Korean TV viewers got to see vs the rest of the world. youtu.be/5jTDVte1KgE
- It's striking how much healthier Kim Jong Un is looking in these photos from yesterday. However he is doing it -- and there are theories -- he looks a lot better than he did a few months ago.
- No-one knows what's going on inside North Korea. Kim Jong Il had been dead several days before it was announced and it took everyone by surprise. Kim Jong Un has been "missing" before, and has always reappeared. That said, his absence this week was more notable.
- As the finale of its parade, North Korea shows what is apparently a new missile on an 11-axle TEL.

- Kim Jong Un getting his hands dirty, literally. State TV broadcast footage today of him planting a tree at a new housing development in Pyongyang. His sister was alongside helping him dig a hole, plant the tree.
00:00 - The FBI has disclosed that agents from other investigations accessed Twitter, Facebook data in Virgil Griffith/North Korea crypto case because *default setting* in Palantir is to allow all FBI agents access to everything from all cases. That's quite amazing.
