Turkey\'s government is in turmoil after three cabinet ministers resigned in the space of a single day.

The trio quit amid a high-level corruption probe engulfing the ruling AK Party.

Environment Minister Erdogan Bayraktar, rejecting allegations there had been pressure on him to step down, broke ranks with the party and said that if he was to go, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan should follow suit.

While Erdogan chose not to comment on the resignations, he defended his party in a speech on Wednesday, saying it owed its success to honesty, commitment to Turkey and its determination to fight against corruption.

But for Erdogan things have gone from bad to worse. Now a former interior minister says he is leaving AK Party ranks.

The cabinet departures follow the arrests of sons of the three ministers as police unveiled a probe into corruption claims involving the state-run Halkbank. The sons of Interior Minister Muammer Guler and Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan remain in custody, along with 22 others including the head of the bank, Suleyman Aslan. The Environment Minister\'s son was released without charge.

It appears that the recent execution of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un\'s uncle Jang Song-thaek may have had something to do with a firefight between troops loyal to Kim and those supporting Jang over profits from North Korea\'s lucrative exports in coal, clams and crabs.

North Korean soldiers were ordered to retake control of rich crab and fishing grounds that Uncle Jang had seized from the military. According to one official, the battle for control of the fishing grounds saw the poorly trained North Korean forces badly beaten by Jang\'s loyalists.

It looks like Uncle Jang was able to consolidate many of the trading rights for coal, clams and crabs under his own control after Kim took over from his father and took the rights away from the military and gave them to the cabinet, of which Uncle Jang was a member. 

This fall when Kim saw that some North Korean soldiers looked malnourished, he ordered that Jang return operation of the fishing grounds to the military. Jang and his associates resisted, according to South Korean and American officials. When a group of 150 North Korean soldiers showed up at the crab and clam farm, Jang\'s loyalists refused to hand over operations until Jang gave the approval himself. Two soldiers were killed in a gun battle and the army backed off. 

Kim ordered more troops in and they eventually gained control of the fishing grounds. Soon after, Jang\'s two top lieutenants were captured and executed. The two men were killed in front of a firing squad that used anti-aircraft machine guns.  

Having his forces humiliated was the last straw. When it\'s business, Kim doesn\'t mess around. Guess that\'s why Rodman\'s sponsors for the Gang Bang in Pyongyang pulled out.

http://www.euronews.com/2013/12/24/un-sending-more-peacekeepers-to-south-sudan
The UN Security Council voted on Tuesday to increase the number of United Nations peacekeepers in South Sudan to 12,500 troops as soon as possible.

The request by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was authorised unanimously.

The United Nations Mission in South Sudan has been struggling to keep people sheltering from the violence in their compounds safe. It has evacuated injured civilians and non-essential staff from Bor to the capital, Juba.

Thousands of people are now known to have been killed during the past week. The worsening violence is between groups loyal to the president and groups loyal to the former vice president, who was sacked in July after a power struggle.

Government troops have retaken control of Bor, the capital of Jonglei State, and a key town which last week fell to rebels loyal to the former vice-president.

Western powers and east African states are keen to prevent more chaos in a fragile region. They have tried to mediate between the president and his former deputy without success.

This as the ministry of foreign affairs assured Kenyans that it was monitoring the situation with a view of evacuating its citizens incase the violence escalates. The South Sudan government has confirmed the death of 26 civilians and another 130 wounded after fresh violence broke out Tuesday morning, after a night of relative calm.

The trio quit amid a high-level corruption probe engulfing the ruling AK Party. Environment Minister Erdogan Bayraktar, rejecting allegations there had been pressure on him to step down, broke ranks with the party and said that if he was to go, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan should follow suit. While Erdogan chose not to comment on the resignations, he defended his party in a speech on Wednesday, saying it owed its success to honesty, commitment to Turkey and its determination to fight against corruption. But for Erdogan things have gone from bad to worse. Now a former interior minister says he is leaving AK Party ranks. The cabinet departures follow the arrests of sons of the three ministers as police unveiled a probe into corruption claims involving the state-run Halkbank. The sons of Interior Minister Muammer Guler and Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan remain in custody, along with 22 others including the head of the bank, Suleyman Aslan. The Environment Minister's son was released without charge. Find us on: Youtube http://bit.ly/zr3upY Facebook http://www.facebook.com/euronews.fans Twitter http://twitter.com/euronews

North Korea executions: Kim Jong-un kills uncle over crab and clam businesses
North Korea executions: Kim Jong-un kills uncle over crab and clam businesses
  • Order:
  • Duration: 1:11
  • Updated: 25 Dec 2013
It appears that the recent execution of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's uncle Jang Song-thaek may have had something to do with a firefight between troops loyal to Kim and those supporting Jang over profits from North Korea's lucrative exports in coal, clams and crabs. North Korean soldiers were ordered to retake control of rich crab and fishing grounds that Uncle Jang had seized from the military. According to one official, the battle for control of the fishing grounds saw the poorly trained North Korean forces badly beaten by Jang's loyalists. It looks like Uncle Jang was able to consolidate many of the trading rights for coal, clams and crabs under his own control after Kim took over from his father and took the rights away from the military and gave them to the cabinet, of which Uncle Jang was a member. This fall when Kim saw that some North Korean soldiers looked malnourished, he ordered that Jang return operation of the fishing grounds to the military. Jang and his associates resisted, according to South Korean and American officials. When a group of 150 North Korean soldiers showed up at the crab and clam farm, Jang's loyalists refused to hand over operations until Jang gave the approval himself. Two soldiers were killed in a gun battle and the army backed off. Kim ordered more troops in and they eventually gained control of the fishing grounds. Soon after, Jang's two top lieutenants were captured and executed. The two men were killed in front of a firing squad that used anti-aircraft machine guns. Having his forces humiliated was the last straw. When it's business, Kim doesn't mess around. Guess that's why Rodman's sponsors for the Gang Bang in Pyongyang pulled out. ----------------------------------------­----------------------------------------­ Daily videos brought to you by THE Taiwanese Animators behind the infamous Tiger Woods animation.

The request by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was authorised unanimously. The United Nations Mission in South Sudan has been struggling to keep people sheltering from the violence in their compounds safe. It has evacuated injured civilians and non-essential staff from Bor to the capital, Juba. Thousands of people are now known to have been killed during the past week. The worsening violence is between groups loyal to the president and groups loyal to the former vice president, who was sacked in July after a power struggle. Government troops have retaken control of Bor, the capital of Jonglei State, and a key town which last week fell to rebels loyal to the former vice-president. Western powers and east African states are keen to prevent more chaos in a fragile region. They have tried to mediate between the president and his former deputy without success.
