'Tens of thousands to die in HOURS' North Korea risk war as Kim launches missile

Kim Jong-un was believed to be preparing an ICBM test to coincide with the 64th anniversary of the end of the Korean War. US spooks claimed Pyongyang was seeking to mark the event remembered in North Korea as Victory Day on July 27.

However, Kim failed to deliver on the concerns as South Korean commanders believed Pyongyang may have held off due to heavy rain.

North Korea finally launched today as they fired a missile into the Sea of Japan, their first since the so-called ICBM test on July 4.

Pentagon generals have talked up the chance of a military confrontation with North Korea as diplomatic efforts and sanctions have done little to slow Kim. ULTIMATUM: North Korea made good on fears they would launch a missile around Victory Day.

Security expert Robert A. Manning told Daily Star Online before the launch any moves around Victory Day would be directed at the US to "rub our noses in it".

However, he called for calm and said officials risk "hysteria" over a nuclear-capable North Korea. Mr Manning urged caution over any military action against Kim as it would kill "tens of thousands" in a "matter of hours.

He called on the US to take the diplomatic option, and said pressure should be stepped up on all fronts to tackle Pyongyang.

Manning The former US official, a senior fellow at the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security and the Atlantic Council, told Daily Star Online "nervous officials" have "whipped up a hysterical sense of crisis" over North Korea.

He said there is no "silver bullet" to halt Pyongyang's nuclear missile programme, and said the regime faces "suicide" should it attempt to strike the US. But he warned of the possibility of conflict breaking out, and horrific consequences which would follow.

Mr Manning said: Even without an ICBM, they have deployed Nodong missiles that can hit US military bases in South Korea and Japan with nukes." He added: Apart from 28,000 US troops and their families, there are probably 80,000 US civilians in Greater Seoul on any given day.

So the result could be catastrophic.".

DONALD TRUMP: North Korea has risen to the top of the US Presidents agenda in 2017.

North Korea tested a two-stage missile on US holiday Independence Day in a "gift to the American b*****ds". The missile is feared to have the capability to strike the mainland US.

Kim's state-run media published a terrifying tirade in which North Korea promised to attack the US with a "nuclear hammer" following comments from CIA director, Mike Pompeo.

Mr Pompeo hinted spooks are looking for a way to overthrow the regime in North Korea.

Mr Manning told Daily Star Online: Pyongyang has made it clear it will not negotiate denuclearisation. They want to be like Pakistan, de facto accepted as a nuclear state and be treated as a normal nation. That will not happen.

At the same time, the US and ROK should re-open some channel of communication, whether secret or public if only to minimise the risk of miscalculation. He said "deterrence" remains the best option to tackle North Korea amid the consequences of military conflict.

MISSILE: North Korea is feared to be within reach of a fully-armed ICBM. South Koreas military said this morning, they believe a missile test wont happen today – despite the North moving a truck mounted missile launcher into position in Kusong.

Roh Jae-cheon, spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: Currently, theres no sign of an imminent North Korean missile launch.   Our military is continuing to closely monitor North Koreas every possible provocation, mobilizing combined surveillance assets with the United States..

MILITARY: North Korea showed off its forces with a parade earlier this year. Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford said the US must prepare for conflict with North Korea – and implied diplomacy only has a "few months left".

Meanwhile, Air Force General Paul Selva said: I can tell the American people today is North Korea is capable of launching a limited missile attack. Mr Manning hit out at the comments as "dangerous" and added I have no idea why they said that or what they mean.

Diplomacy can always be an option. He said: The world does not end if North Korea gets a certain military capability.". US and South Korea conduct missile drills after North Korea launch.

Tensions have escalated in the Korean Peninsula as Donald Trump has pledged to take a tougher line on Kim. South Korean president Moon Jae-in has called for peace talks with North Korea – but Pyongyang has yet to respond.

Russia's nuclear envoy met with Kim's men this week, but North Korea refused to put disarmament on the table.

Game of Thrones' Night King is more evil than you can imagine – he killed Batman's parents - Duration: 2:31.

Game of Thrones' Night King is more evil than you can imagine – he killed Batman's parents

The Night King might just be the biggest bad in all of Game of Thrones. Stuff all the people plotting to rule the land of Westeros, this guy is building a rapidly expanding army of undead to try and raze it to the ground.

Is there any way he could be any more evil? Yes, actually. It turns out the Night King actually killed Batmans parents.

Strange as it might be to believe, the creators of Game of Thrones didnt have the guts to actually hire any real-life ice zombies to play the White Walkers, so they got actors to do it instead.

And the actor they cast to play the Night King is a man named Richard Brake, who appeared in Batman Begins as Joe Chill (hmmm, maybe there is something to those fan theories).

As you might have guessed by now, Joe Chill is the guy who murders Bruce Waynes parents – Thomas and Martha Wayne – in, ahem, cold blood.

Of course, he isnt the only actor to have appeared in Batman Begins. Jack Gleeson, who famously played evil king Joffrey, also acted in Christopher Nolans first Bat-outing.

In fact, the Game of Thrones cast have had many weird and wonderful projects before the HBO phenomenon, from pop careers to porn.

Returning to the here and now, you can read our review of the latest episode, Stormborn, as well as our hot take on why Euron Greyjoy is the bad guy the series needs right now, and have a sneaky peek at next weeks episode:

Game of Thrones airs on HBO in the US, and on Sky Atlantic/NOW TV in the UK.

GTA 6 LEAKED: Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto game outed by Red Dead Redemption 2 actor? - Duration: 0:07.

GTA 6 LEAKED: Rockstar's next Grand Theft Auto game outed by Red Dead Redemption 2 actor?

  GTA 6 LEAKED: Rockstars next Grand Theft Auto game outed by Red Dead Redemption 2 actor?.

GTA 6 UPDATE 1 In a remarkable turn of events, GTA fans have discovered an image which, at the very least, strongly suggests that Actor/Stuntman Tim Neff is indeed involved with Rockstar and Red Dead Redemption 2.

The image is taken from the Rockstar San Diego Studio, where its believed Red Dead Redemption 2 is being worked on.

Which would of course make sense given this particular brand of Rockstar worked on the original Red Dead Redemption release. Which would of course make sense given this particular brand of Rockstar worked on the original Red Dead Redemption release.

While not directly to do with GTA 6, it does, at the very least, lend some credence to the fact that Naff is indeed working with Rockstar and helps make the case that his resume which also mentioned his involvement in Grand Theft Auto 6 could be genuine.

As if that wasnt enough, Twitter user @RobbinRams has noticed that Tim Neff has since removed the image (which you can see below) from his Instagram account which directly ties him to Rockstar, since this mornings discovery.

More on this hopefully as eager GTA fans find more throughout the evening.

GTA 6 appears to be well into development from Rockstar games, at least if you believe the CV of stuntman and motion capture actor Tim Neff, which was discovered late last night to contain work for Grand Theft Auto 6.

This was first spotted on GTA forums with Neff's iStunt resume clearly mentioning motion capture work for both GTA 6 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Both Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive have given no indication that a new Grand Theft Auto game is in development, with the majority of the studio likely hard at work on Red Dead Redemption 2, which is due for release in 2018.

However, it was only last year in March that well-respected tech and gaming website techradar.com published a story indicating that preliminary work on Grand Theft Auto 6 had already begun.

The site stated they had been passed this information from a source close to the company, but failed to give any more specifics.

Given the site in question, we highly doubt TechRadar would publish the story without having confidence in the validity of the source. And to be honest, its not like the idea of Rockstar making another Grand Theft Auto game is exactly unbelievable.

Even now GTA V is still the best-selling game of the year thanks largely to the continued invested in GTA 5 Online, but it would make sense that internally Rockstar are making moves for their next big Grand Theft Auto release.

However, its unlikely to take place anywhere outside the US, as TechRadar also ruled that out last year, with their same source suggesting that Rockstar had plans to make Grand Theft Auto: Tokyo, and even carried out a reference trip for the game Rockstar visited the Japanese capital several years ago to assess its potential for a full GTA game, but ultimately pulled the plug on the idea, according to a source close to the company. Tech Radar explained.

Our source said that Rockstar was serious about the idea of making a Tokyo version around the time of GTA 3 and Vice City, however, the road system was seen to be problematic and became one reason the idea was canned.

In December 2003, Take-Two Interactive actually filed trademarks for GTA: Tokyo, GTA: Bogota as well as the particularly mysterious Grand Theft Auto: Sin City.

Our source added that, as time has gone on, Rockstar has realised the difficulty in moving Grand Theft Auto outside of the USA, where it has firmly embedded itself.

  There are a number of series staples, from brands to cars, that Rockstar would likely have to change if a future GTA was set somewhere else..

Though Rockstar could indeed be working on GTA 6 internally, the main focus is surely Red Dead Redemption 2.

While the game is sure to sell like hot cakes Take Two Interactive's CEO, Straus Zelnick recently talked to Gamesindustry.biz, and tempered expectations in the wake of how succssfull GTA 5 has been these last three years.

When asked about the expected commercial performance of Red Dead Redemption 2 compared to GTA V, Zelnick explained that while expectations for the sequel are high, theyre certainly not expecting anything on par with GTA.

"I don't make assumptions like that," Zelnick told Gamesindustry.biz.

"What the team is doing is trying to make the best possible game they can, and if they succeed… Look, the reason, in my opinion, why GTA V has sold 80m units, and GTA Online had another record year 3-and-a-half years since its release, is because it stands alone in the generation.

In every prior generation, there have been other titles that have clustered around GTA from a quality point-of-view. That's clearly not the case now.

If you are over 17 and you have a new generation console, you have GTA. Otherwise we wouldn't have shipped 80m units.

Can any other title achieve that? It seems unlikely. Do we have incredibly high hopes for Red Dead? We do. But we are not putting it in the context of GTA.".

Nintendo NES Classic Mini BACK IN STOCK - but there's a BIG catch... - Duration: 7:50.

Nintendo NES Classic Mini BACK IN STOCK - but there's a BIG catch...

ThinkGeek has announced it is once again selling Nintendos NES Classic Mini Edition again, even though Nintendo discontinued the product some months ago.

However, if the deal sounds too good to be true, its because it is and theres a big catch that comes with ordering an NES Classic Mini.

The site is only selling the NES as part of much bigger, more expensive bundles, with the cheapest costing $140 (£105), which includes the NES, a Legend of Zelda puzzle, Mario piranha plant puppet, and three pieces of exclusive canvas art.

There are plenty of other deals available, but theyll all cost upward of $140 with the most expensive costing $220 and containing extra merch for fans of Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Megaman and more.

A statement from ThinkGeek explains: "Were very excited to have received this last allotment of NES Classic Editions, and we want them to land in the hands of true fans and not resellers.

"We also need to be able to be profitable on the products we sell. So, weve limited them to one per customer and packaged them with a number of our best-selling Nintendo-themed products.

"Fans have reacted very positively to our Nintendo Switch packages, and we believe we will see a similar reaction to these collections." A full list of Nintendo Classic Mini games can be found in the gallery below:.

Nintendo NES Classic Mini BACK IN STOCK - but there's a BIG catch. Ironically theres probably more chance of buying a NES currently over Nintendos second mini console, the SNES Classic Mini.

The follow up to the NES Mini is due to release on 29th September 2017, but Nintendo has said upfront it will only be on sale for a limited time which includes no plans to sell beyond Christmas.

As you might expect stock levels at Tesco, Argos, Amazon, Toys R Us and plenty more UK Stockists have been continually selling out time and time again.

Previously, the best bet people had to actually pre-order a SNES was via the website Stockinformer.com, which had up to date, minute by minute information of stock levels at the biggest online websites.

However, even StockInformer has proved unsuccessful more recently, with zero stock showing from most retailers ever since July 10th.

But, one way you might get one is via a handful of Game stores across the country who are regularly tweeting to indicate whether they have stock available to pre-order.

Some of those who have taken to Twitter more recently can be found in a list underneath, however, to avoid disappointment it is best to tweet or call up your local Game store to double check.

Customers can only place a pre-order in store and will have to put down a £50 deposit.   These Game stores all took to Twitter on Friday to announce they had SNES Classic Mini pre-order stock available.

However, as with all things in store, the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Edition pre-orders are being sold on a first-come-first-serve basis.

So, if you want to pre-order the pint-sized version of Nintendos dinky console, youll need to act fast! And even if your local Game store is not listed above, it's still worth contacting your local store to check as they may have one available and havent announced on Twitter.

While further stock for the SNES is looking less and less likely as we approach release, fans wanting to scratch their retro gaming itch could also look at alternatives.

Recently Atari revealed their new Ataribox, another retro console with a current twist that looks set to perfectly channel the feeling of the original Atari 2600.

At E3 this year Atari began teasing a "brand new Atari product." and aired a 20-second trailer which hinted at an Atari reboot.

The released teaser hinted at a throwback to the original Atari 2600, showing a machine with the classic wooden shell. Yesterday, fans were given their first look at the new console, along with a generous amount of new details.

Atari fans received a pleasant surprise yesterday morning when they received an email from Atari that revealed their intentions with the new console, it read: "our objective is to create something new, that stays true to our heritage while appealing to both old and new fans of Atari." The new This new Ataribox features a sleek look, with sharp lines, a raised back, and a front panel that can either be glass or wood and allows for indicator lights to glow through the faceplate.

Atari also revealed that the console includes SD card support, a HDMI port, and four USB ports on the back.

For now, fans of the retro console havent been given any details about the Atariboxs price, release dates or games that could be included.

Atari explained that theyve opted to not disclose this information yet because they want to do things step by step", telling fans: "We know you are hungry for more details; on specs, games, pricing, timing," reads an Atari statement.

"We're not teasing you intentionally; we want to get this right, so we've opted to share things step by step as we bring this to life, and to listen closely to the Atari community feedback as we do so." That said, it does appear as though the console will play more than just games from Atari's own extensive library of classic games.

Its said that the Ataribox will also be capable of playing "current gaming content" according to the company.

Writers for gadgets.ndtv.com have suggested - though cannot say for sure - that the machine could release with software similar to Android boxes like the Ouya or Nvidia Shield TV.

Could this result in a console similar to the myriad of Android boxes such as the Ouya and the Nvidia Shield TV or akin to Nintendo's retro efforts like the SNES or NES Classic? Only time will tell..
