In December 1950, some 100,000 UN troops were trapped in the North Korean port of Hungnam. They had been overwhelmed by Chinese forces in what became known as the Battle of Chosin, and were lucky to make it out of the mountains alive.

















They had faced an army ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß
almost four times their size. But now there was only one way to get to safety. By sea. And they had very little time to do it: the Chinese were closing in.

But the troops were ±¸Âî=±¸Âî¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
not alone. Thousands of North Korean refugees had also fled to the freezing beach. Many had walked miles through deep snow with young children in the hope of being saved.

They were cold, exhausted and desperate.

Around 100 US ships, including À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ
the SS Meredith Victory, had sailed to Hungnam to pick up the troops, supplies and ammunition and take them to the South Korean ports of Busan and Geoje Island.

Rescuing refugees had never been part of the plan.

Colonel Edward Forney of the US Marine Corps worked with others to try to make it part of the mission. His grandson Ned lives õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å
in Seoul.

"If you want to win a war - your job is not to rescue civilians," Ned, a marine veteran, tells me. "It's a nice thing to do. But the military does come first."

She added that the university was the first in the country to offer such a course which would teach doctors about "the Ayurvedic remedies to treat ghost-related ailments".

















Ayurvedic therapies generally ¸ÞÁ¾Å°Ã÷³×=¸ÞÁ¾Å°Ã÷³×¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
include herbal medicines, diet changes, massages, breathing and other forms of exercise.

According to a 2016 study by the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuroscience (Nimhans), nearly 14% of Indians are ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=À̹ÌÅ×À̼ǼîÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô ·¹Çø®Ä«
mentally ill. And in 2017, the WHO estimated that 20% of Indians might suffer from depression at some point in their lives.

But there are less than 4,000 mental health professionals in the country of 1.3 billion people and there is little awareness ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«
about these issues.

Also, because of widespread social stigma, few seek for professional help or care and many Indians, especially in rural and poorer areas, visit shamans and witch-doctors in the hope that they will help cure their mental illnesses.

The news that the government-run õ¾È¿ø·ë¸Å¸Å
BHU will be starting a course in Bhoot Vidya has been questioned on social media by some who pointed out that medicine and rehab were more appropriate methods to deal with mental health issues:

Canada's national broadcaster CBC has defended deleting a scene featuring Donald Trump from the film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

















CBC spokesman Chuck È«Äá·¹Çø®Ä«=È«Äá¸íǰÁö°© È«Äá·¹Çø®Ä« È«Äá¹Ì·¯±Þ
Thompson said eight minutes of the 120-minute film had been trimmed to make way for commercials.

He said the edits were made before ¼¼ÀÎÆ®·Î·©=¼¼ÀÎÆ®·Î·©¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
Mr Trump was elected as US president, and were not politically motivated.

The edited film was shown by CBC earlier this month, prompting criticism from Mr Trump's supporters.

His son Donald Trump Jr tweeted a link ³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=³²¼º¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«
to a story on Thursday that called the edit 'pathetic'.

President Trump reacted late on Thursday, tweeting that "the movie will never be the same! (just kidding)".

In a reference to Canadian Prime ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê
Minister Justin Trudeau, and well-documented disagreements between the two leaders on major policy issues, Mr Trump also quipped: "I guess Justin T doesn't much like my making him pay up on Nato or trade!"

On Christmas Eve, Mr Trump described Home Alone 2, which was released in 1992, as "a big Christmas hit" during a video conference call to US troops overseas, according to Deadline website.

















"Well I'm in Home ·¹Çø®Ä«°¡¹æ=·¹Çø®Ä«¿©¼º°¡¹æ ·¹Çø®Ä«³²¼ºÁö°© ·¹Çø®Ä«¿©¼ºÁö°©
Alone 2," Mr Trump said. "A lot of people mention it every year, especially around Christmas. They say - especially young kids- they say, 'I just saw ·¹Çø®Ä«Áö°©=·¹Çø®Ä«Áö°©
you on the movie.' They don't see me on television as they do in the movie.

"But it's been a good ¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ=¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«Ãßõ
movie and I was a little younger, to put it mildly. And it was an honour to do it."

Mr Trump has made a number of cameo appearances in films, including Zoolander and Ghosts Can't Do It.

In Home Alone 2's uncut version, he is briefly °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß
seen in a scene at New York's Plaza Hotel, when Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin asks him for directions. Mr Trump was the hotel's owner at the time.

Tributes have been paid to a British man and his two children who drowned in a resort swimming pool on the Costa del Sol on Christmas Eve.

















Gabriel Diya, 52, his ºÒ°¡¸®=ºÒ°¡¸®¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
daughter Comfort Diya, 9, and his son Praise-Emmanuel Diya, 16, died in the pool at Club La Costa World, near Fuengirola.

Police say they are checking claims the young ¿©ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=¿©ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®
girl got into difficulties and the other two died trying to save her.

The church where Mr Diya was a pastor said its prayers were with the family.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) said in a post on Facebook: "With heavy hearts, we extend our condolences to the family, parish, friends and associates of Area Pastor Gabriel Diya who sadly passed away, along ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇθô
with two of his children... in a tragic incident while on a family holiday in Spain.

"At this very difficult time, our prayers are for Pastor Gabriel Diya's family, the parishes that were under his supervision, friends, associates, members of RCCG and the general public," the post added.

The church said Mr Diya was also the parish °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß
pastor at Open Heavens, a Christian religious group with origins in Nigeria, based in Charlton, south-east London, and he was survived by his wife, assistant pastor Olubunmi Diya, and another daughter.

A prestigious Indian university is offering a certificate course to teach doctors how to treat people who claim to see or be possessed by ghosts.

















The six-month »þ³Ú=»þ³Ú¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
course at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in the northern city of Varanasi will start in January.

Officials say it will focus on psychosomatic ½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=½Å¹ß·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®
disorders which are often confused with paranormal occurrences.

The course will be conducted by the ¿äÁö¾ß¸¶¸ðÅä=¿äÁö¾ß¸¶¸ðÅä¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
faculty of Ayurveda, the ancient Hindu system of medicine and healing.

A BHU official told news agency IANS that a separate unit of Bhoot Vidya (Ghost Studies) had been set up in the university.

"Bhoot Vidya mainly deals with psychosomatic ´ä·Ê¶±
disorders, diseases caused by unknown reasons and diseases of mind or psychic conditions," Yamini Bhushan Tripathi, the Ayurveda faculty dean, said.

Almost 70 years ago, a US merchant marine ship picked up more than 14,000 refugees in a single trip from a North Korean port. This is the story of that journey, and some of those on board.

















It was Christmas Day ·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä«=·¹Çø®Ä«·¹Çø®Ä«
in 1950, and this was no ordinary birth.

The mother was one of 14,000 North Korean refugees crammed into a US merchant marine ship, fleeing the advancing guns of ·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ=·¹Çø®Ä«¼îÇÎ ·¹Çø®Ä«Ä¿½ºÅÒ±Þ ·¹Çø®Ä«ÀÏ´ëÀÏ
the Chinese army.

There was barely enough ±î¸£¶ì¿¡=±î¸£¶ì¿¡¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
room on board to stand - and there wasn't much medical equipment, either.

"The midwife had to use her teeth to cut my umbilical cord," Lee Gyong-pil tells me some 69 years on. "People said the fact that I didn't die and was born was a Christmas miracle."

Mr Lee was the fifth baby born on the SS Meredith Victory that winter, during some of the darkest days of the Korean War.

The Meredith Victory's three-day voyage ´ä·Ê¶±
saved thousands of lives, including the parents of the current President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in.

It also earned the cargo freighter a nickname - the Ship of Miracles.

Since then they have travelled to other parts of the country, often marching through areas controlled by the Taliban. Their walks have attracted a lot of local support as well as international attention.

















The Taliban have Áö¹æ½Ã=Áö¹æ½Ã¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
previously accused the movement of being financed by the Afghan government, but the PPM denies this.

In a separate development, a suicide ½´ÇÁ¸²=½´ÇÁ¸²¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
attacker detonated his explosives-laden vehicle near a military base in the northern Balkh province, killing at least ³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®=³²ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«»çÀÌÆ®
six soldiers and wounding three others, a spokesman for the ministry of defence said.

A spokesman for the Taliban said the group was behind the attack, which happened two days after another attack on a military checkpoint in the same province killed seven soldiers.

Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and members °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß
of the security forces, and more than 3,000 international military personnel, have been killed in fighting since the war in the country began in 2001.

A neighbour of the family told the PA news agency she was "really devastated" to learn of the deaths, describing the Diyas as "very religious, very friendly, very humble".

















Speaking outside ·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è=·¹Çø®Ä«½Ã°è
her home in Charlton, Lara Akins, 59, added: "I still can't comprehend it, it's still shocking.

"They are so nice, that is why everybody ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß
is shocked... we are very friendly with each other."

The hotel owners described the incident as a "tragic accident".

Police said divers retrieved Comfort's swimming Åèºê¶ó¿î=Åèºê¶ó¿î¿©¼ºÀÇ·ù
hat from the pool pump but investigators had found nothing wrong with the pool, which has since reopened.

Because the pool is a very small one, lifeguards were "not necessary" so there were none present, a spokesman for the Spanish Civil Guard told the BBC.

The UK Foreign Office said it was supporting a British woman in Spain, thought to be the children's mother.

Mr Diya and his daughter were both British ´ä·Ê¶±
passport holders while his son had an American passport.
