You may think you have a notion of how terrible it is to live in North Korea. You don’t. The media shows us military parades and atomic bomb tests. But many of the isolated country’s 26 million inhabitants are hungry or starving, and believe that America is their sworn enemy. It is impossible to cross the Dmz between North and South Korea, riddled with 2 million landmines, so anyone brave enough to defect must follow an elaborate route through China, which is friendly to North Korea, as well as several other hostile Communist countries, in order to reach safety in Thailand. And if a defector is caught, they go straight to the gulag, where they are beaten and tortured.

Savannah Guthrie’s next one-hour special won’t appear on any of NBC News’ best known properties, which include “Today” and “NBC Nightly News.” And yet, it may be of more critical importance to the NBCUniversal-owned news organization than any in-depth report she’s presented in recent months.
Guthrie will today kick off a week-long focus by NBC News on the mental health of young people during the pandemic, the first of what NBC News President Noah Oppenheim says will be a year-long effort to provide deep reports — one a week — around specific topics across NBC News media properties.
Reports from the first series, “Kids Under Pressure,” will air on “Today,” “NBC Nightly News,” MSNBC’s daytime programs, NBC News.com and NBC News Now, the unit’s streaming-video hub. After delivering segments devoted to the topic on NBC News morning and evening programs, Guthrie will host a one-hour...

The protests began in the days following George Floyd’s death last Monday. They raged over one of the most chaotic, inspiring, and horrifying weekends in this country’s history. They will continue into this week. The demonstrations, in which millions have flooded the streets of cities across the nation to protest police brutality, represent a display of civil unrest unlike anything most Americans have ever seen, and though their long-term effect is unclear, one thing has been made clear: The police very much are who the demonstrators who turned...

While reporting on the George Floyd protests in Seattle Monday night, MSNBC Reporter Jo Ling Kent was struck by what appeared to be fireworks — but what many point out looked like a tear gas canister and those close to the incident believe was a flash bang — during a live broadcast.
The moment came around 9:20 p.m. Pacific, as Kent and her camera crew were walking through a baseball field somewhere in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. In the background, what appeared to be clouds of tear gas could be seen, as well as bystanders who were setting off fireworks. As Kent explained that somewhere behind them, police were advancing on protesters, what appeared to be a projectile of some kind came from behind the camera and struck a Kent in her left arm, bouncing onto the ground beside her, where it began smoking.
Though understandably shaken, Kent continued to...
