 SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korea plans to lift its decadeslong ban on public access to North Korean television, newspapers and other publications as part of its efforts to promote mutual understanding between the rivals, officials said Friday, despite animosities over the North's recent missile tests. Divided along the world’s most heavily fortified border since 1948, the two Koreas prohibit their citizens from visiting each other’s territory and exchanging phone calls, emails and letters, and they block access to each other’s websites and TV stations. In a policy report to new President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said it will gradually open the door for North Korean broadcasts, media and publications to try to boost mutual understanding, restore the Korean national identity and prepare for a future unification.

Assuring parents across the nation that their children are safe, that they are an organisation promoting the kinds of values, the kind of safe environment that every parent has a right to expect for their children, and that we want kids to model, should be their top priority, not appeasing the government, said Trudeau on Friday. Pascale St-Onge, the minister of sport, confirmed to CTV News on Thursday that funding to Gymnastics Canada will be suspended until the group cooperates with the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC). This happened after more than 500 gymnasts signed an open letter to St-Onge requesting that the minister halt funding to the group and renewing prior re...
