Brazil's former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and incumbent Jair Bolsonaro clashed in their first one-on-one debate Sunday, two weeks before the presidential election's runoff.

North Korea's recent barrage of missile launches were tests of its tactical nuclear weapons to "hit and wipe out" potential South Korean and U.S. targets, state media reported Monday, as its leader Kim Jong Un signaled he would conduct more provocative tests.

Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro transformed the nation's bicentennial Wednesday into a multi-city campaign event, but didn't use his appearances to undermine the upcoming election as his opponents had feared.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his top deputies have pushed for a crackdown on officials who abuse their power and commit other "unsound and non-revolutionary acts," state media reported Monday, as Kim seeks greater internal unity to overcome a COVID-19 outbreak and economic difficulties.

"Sweden and Finland can join NATO as early as the summer." This was reported by The Times, citing its own sources.

Finland is expected to apply to join the North Atlantic Alliance in June, followed by Sweden, the newspaper said.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reviewed powerful missiles developed to launch nuclear strikes on the U.S. mainland, as he vowed to build an "invincible" military to cope with what he called persistent U.S. hostility, state media reported on Oct. 12.

Nuclear-armed North Korea unveiled a new submarine-launched ballistic missile at a military parade in Pyongyang, state media reported on Jan. 15 in a show of strength days before Joe Biden's inauguration as U.S. president.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed all-out efforts to bolster his country's nuclear deterrent during a major ruling party meeting where he earlier laid out plans to work toward salvaging the broken economy.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the United States is his nuclear-armed nation's "biggest enemy", state media reported on Jan. 9, in comments that throw down the diplomatic gauntlet to the incoming administration of Joe Biden.

Kim, who marks 10 years in power this year, promised to put "state defense capabilities on a much higher level, and put forth goals for realizing it" during the Eighth Party Congress, which began on Tuesday, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported.
