Witness Movie US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was “begging for war” as she urged the UN Security Council to adopt the strongest sanctions measures possible to stop Pyongyang’s nuclear program. Speaking at a Security Council emergency meeting, Haley said North Korea’s sixth nuclear test was a clear sign that “the time for half measures” from the UN had to end. “Enough is enough,” Haley said. “We have taken an incremental treatment, and despite the best of intentions, it has not worked.” Haley began her statement by ticking through all of the resolutions the Security Council has passed in response to North Korea’s provocations over the past two-plus decades, making the point that the UN has been united condemning Pyongyang but the efforts have not managed to stop its nuclear progress. She said the US does not want war but will defend itself when North Korea is issuing threats with missiles pointed at US territories. “War is never something the Unites States wants — we don’t want it now,” Haley said. “But our country’s patience is not unlimited. We will defend our allies and our territory.” At the conclusion of the meeting, Haley said that the US would circulate a resolution in response to the nuclear test, with plans for a vote on it next week. “I think that North Korea has basically spanked everyone in the face in the international community that has asked them to stop,” Haley said. While details of a resolution weren’t discussed on Monday, South Korea’s Ambassador to the UN Cho Tae-yul said it had to be “truly biting.” “Now is the time to take measures that are strong and sturdy enough to compel North Korea to gravely engage in dialogue,” he said. “The fresh resolution must include not only extra measures to further block funds that could possibly flow into North Korea’s illegal nuclear program, but also truly biting and sturdy measures that Pyongyang finds very painful.” South Korea’s response South Korea launched a major military demonstrate of force on Monday in response to the latest nuclear test from the North, including live-fire drills simulating an attack on Pyongyang’s nuclear testing site. South Korea’s defense ministry said Monday the drills were intended to demonstrate Seoul’s readiness to “wipe out” the regime of Kim Jong Un, while South Korean defense officials also noted there were signs North Korea was preparing for another launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Seoul said that it would activate four Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) launch pads, the US missile defense system intended to shoot down potential missiles shot from Pyongyang. The THAAD deployment, however, has sparked criticisms from Russia and China, and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Monday that Moscow might increase its missile presence in the Pacific to react to the THAAD deployment. Neither Russia nor China mentioned the missile defense deployment at the Security Council meeting, however. Leaders discussing next steps US President Donald Trump spoke by phone Monday with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in a 40-minute phone call, according to Park Soo-hyun, a spokesman for South Korea’s presidential office. They discussed responses to North Korea’s nuclear test and agreed to lift confinements on the payload weight of South Korea’s ballistic missiles. The phone call came after Trump issued a tweet Sunday criticizing the fresh South Korean leader’s treatment to North Korea. “South Korea is finding, as I have told them, that their talk of appeasement with North Korea will not work, they only understand one thing!” Trump wrote. It was one of a number of conversations Monday inbetween world leaders in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear test. Moon also spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which Seoul said the two leaders discussed cutting off Pyongyang’s crude oil supplies and sources for foreign currency. And Trump also spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday. Merkel’s spokesman said the German leader confirmed to Trump that Germany would work with the European Union for fresh and stricter sanctions against North Korea. US, China tensions over Pyongyang Monday’s Security Council meeting was convened in response to North Korea’s latest nuclear test, but it’s the 10th time that the council has met on North Korea this year — and the 2nd time in less than a week, according to Jeffrey Feltman, UN undersecretary for political affairs. In addition to his appeasement tweet, Trump has said in latest days that “talking is not the reaction,” and Defense Secretary James Mattis warned on Sunday of a “massive military response” to any threat from North Korea against the US or its allies. But Trump has also targeted China as complicit in permitting North Korea’s nuclear program to march on. On Sunday, Trump tweeted that the US was considering “stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea,” which would include China. At the UN meeting Monday, Chinese Ambassador to the UN Liu Jieyi said the situation was “falling into a perverse circle” and urged North Korea to “stop taking deeds that are wrong.” “We strongly urge the DPRK to face up squarely to the stiff will of the international community on the issue of the denuclearization of the peninsula and earnestly abide by the relevant resolutions of the council.” At the same time, Liu cautioned against any military option. “The peninsula issue must be resolved peacefully,” he said. “China will never permit chaos and war on the peninsula.” Liu touted a proposal from China and Russia of a “suspension for suspension,” also known as “freeze for freeze,” where Pyongyang would freeze its nuclear program in exchange for the US and South Korea suspending joint military exercises. But before he spoke, Haley called such a proposal “insulting.” “The idea that some have suggested a so-called ‘freeze for freeze’ is insulting,” she said. “When a rogue regime has a nuclear weapon and an ICBM pointed at you, you do not take steps to lower your guard. No one would do that. We certainly won’t.” Asked after the Security Council meeting about Haley’s “insulting” comment, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia told reporters he was “wondering” what was insulting about their proposal. “This is the only proposal for a political way out,” Nebenzia said. Haley also indirectly called out China for its trade with North Korea, telling the United States would look at every country that does business with Pyongyang “as a country that is providing aid to their reckless and dangerous intentions.” She said that quickly enacting the strongest possible sanctions in the Security Council was the only way to resolve the issue diplomatically. “We’ve kicked the can down the road long enough,” Haley said. “There is no more road left.”

Observe Movie The Utah nurse arrested when she refused to let police officers draw blood from an unconscious crash victim is considering legal activity after the scaring encounter that lit up social media and provoked widespread outrage. But Alex Wubbels — whose July twenty six arrest, caught on bod camera movie, prompted apologies from Salt Lake City’s mayor and police — says she is now focused on forging better working ties inbetween police and health care workers. The nurse and her attorney Karra Porter appeared on CNN’s “New Day” on Monday and discussed the confrontation and their options. “Right now, I’m attempting to re-educate. As officers and health care workers, we have to work together on behalf of our citizens, our friends, the people we live with,” Wubbels said. “If we’re going to have that dialogue and teamwork and camaraderie, we have to come to the table and have adequate dialogue.” Porter said there is a possibility of filing a lawsuit “if that becomes necessary” and cited several parties who could be involved: “the city, the officers, the university police, you know, there are fairly a few.” But, she said, “I think we’re going to give everyone involved an chance to do the right thing without having to be dragged into court to do it.” What happened? Citing hospital policy, Wubbels refused to let officers draw blood from an unconscious crash victim who had been admitted to the University of Utah Hospital burn unit in a coma. Tho’ the man was not a suspect in the wreck, which killed another driver, police asked for his blood to be drawn. Wubbels, the charge nurse in the burn unit, introduced the officers with a printout of hospital policy on drawing blood and said their request did not meet the criteria. Hospital policy specified that before obtaining a blood sample, police needed either a judge’s order or the patient’s consent, or the patient needed to be under arrest. Porter noted Friday that the university and Salt Lake City police had agreed to the policy more than a year ago, and “the officers here appeared to be unaware of” it. Observe Movie After Wubbels’ refusal, the movie shows police Detective Jeff Payne walk quickly over to Wubbels, who backs away as he says, “Oh, please. We’re done here. We’re done. We’re done.” Wubbels shrieks as Payne compels her out the door toward a police car. She screams for him to stop, telling, “I’ve done nothing wrong! I’ve done nothing wrong! Why is this happening? This is crazy!” She also asks why the officer is “so angry.” Payne manacled Wubbels and placed her in the police car, where she sat for about twenty minutes, according to CNN affiliate KSL. She was later released without being charged. Payne and another officer have been placed on administrative leave pending the results of an investigation. Figure camera movie Wubbels was able to get her palms on the figure cam movie and was asked why it had been released weeks after the incident. She said she waited until she felt she was composed enough to talk about what happened. “I feel pretty strongly in just having sort of a good strong capability to stand up without emotion. And I need to afford myself some time to feel OK and and to be able to talk pragmatically about the situation without the emotion,” she said. Wubbels said she had no idea how the situation escalated. “What I can say is that I stood my ground. I stood for what was right, which was to protect the patient. As a nurse, any nurse, I think, would have done exactly what I did,” she said. Did Wubbels get an explanation of why she was being arrested? “Not to my skill,” she said. “I know that I was doing what … was right, what was suggested to me by a policy that I trusted and I believed to be lawful.” Wubbels said she was “scared to death” during the incident. “Obviously, I was very frightened, and I think that since this has happened, I’ve been able to sort of surmise that I feel betrayed. I feel betrayed by the police officers. I feel betrayed by my university police and security.” She said she asked hospital security for help “to have someone protect me because I felt unsafe from Officer Payne from the beginning,” she said. How did the university police and security react? “By just standing there, looking at their phones, telling me that they couldn’t protect me.” A raunchy month Wubbels said she explained to Payne “that unless the patient was under arrest, I needed to have an electronic warrant, and there was no family, and the patient could not consent for himself. And I said, ‘I’m sorry,’ and he said ‘you’re not sorry’ and got very upset.” She said Payne “was aggressive from the beginning.” “My assessment abilities led me to believe that Officer Payne was already agitated. He had already stormed off in disapproval that he couldn’t do this on the unit itself.” Porter said there were no legal grounds for the arrest. “He kept telling the patient has given implied consent essentially just by driving in Utah, but the law that the officer purported to be relying on clearly didn’t apply, because the officer admitted that there was no probable cause. Utah’s implied consent law specifically requires very likely cause,” she said. The past month has been raunchy for Wubbels. “One of the reasons we went forward is we made sure that the bod cam was available. We dreamed to see what it was that was on there. We spoke with the Salt Lake City Police Department,” Wubbels said. She got an apology from police but not from university security officials: the University of Utah Police and the Department of Public Safety, which provides security for the hospital. Last week, Wubbels said the lack of “forward progress” in meetings with university security spurred her to come forward this week with the figure camera footage. Police told her this should never have happened, Wubbels said. “I agreed with that. We began making conservation about how to prevent this from ever happening again,” she said, referring to the Salt Lake City police. “Unlike a conversation we had a week later with the university police and university security, who, after about a 45-minute conversation, still had not apologized. When I bought it up, continued to defend their officers. “And I just didn’t feel like that was adequate.”

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – A rip current can quickly haul swimmers out to sea but News three is taking activity for your family with this helpful swimming safety information. Meredith Youthful, the founder and CEO of the ocean-swimming program ‘Swim Safe,’ told News three the best way to get through a rip current is to stay tranquil and let it take you out before it releases you. Youthfull said the ocean is powerful and attempting to fight against it will only distress you. She said the best thing to do is float and wait until the rip current releases you before you can swim back to shore. During Hurricane Harvey and also right here in the Outer Banks, a human chain has been used to pull swimmers to safety and Youthful says its a fine mechanism because it gets more people into the water near the swimmer who needs help. In contrast, just one person attempting to save a distressed swimmer can be deadly, as seen over the weekend with the man who drowned while attempting to save his son. Youthful said in that situation the best thing to do is stay on the beach and keep your eye on the swimmer, making sure you can see them and get to them once the rip current releases them. Of course, calling for help and utilizing lifeguards is crucial and can save a life. RELATED: Rip Currents: What you need to know and how to stay safe
