| Japanese 'James Bond' volcano shoots to thrill Posted: 06 Mar 2018 07:25 AM PST  A Japanese volcano which featured in a 1960s James Bond movie shot smoke and ash thousands of meters into the sky on Tuesday, prompting the cancellation of flights to and from a nearby airport, with the eruption likely to continue for some time. Shinmoedake, in a largely rural area some 985 km (616 miles) from Tokyo on Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu, had been erupting on a smaller scale since March 1, when entrance to the 1,421 meter-high peak was restricted. Television footage showed smoke and ash billowing high into the sky, with lava visible deep inside a crater at the mountain, which featured in the 1967 James Bond movie "You Only Live Twice".

| South Korea meeting thrusts North's Kim into the limelight Posted: 06 Mar 2018 12:24 AM PST  SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un grins, just on the verge of a belly laugh, as he grasps the hand of a visiting South Korean official. He sits at a wide conference table and beams as the envoys look on deferentially. He smiles broadly again at dinner, his wife at his side, the South Koreans seeming to hang on his every word.

| Wreckage found of World War Two aircraft carrier USS Lexington after 76 years Posted: 05 Mar 2018 10:42 PM PST  Wreckage from the USS Lexington, a US aircraft carrier which sank during World War Two, has been found in the Coral Sea by a search team led by Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder. The wreckage was found on Sunday by the team's research vessel, the R/V Petrel, some two miles below the surface more than 500 miles off the eastern coast of Australia. The search team released pictures and video of the wreckage of the Lexington, one of the first ever US aircraft carriers, and some of the planes which went down with the ship. Remarkably preserved aircraft could be seen on the seabed bearing the five-pointed star insignia of the US Army Air Forces on their wings and fuselage. On one aircraft, an emblem of the cartoon character Felix the Cat can be seen along with four miniature Japanese flags presumably depicting "kills". The wreck was found two miles beneath the surface of the sea Credit: AFP photo courtesy of Paul G Allen The search team also released pictures and video of parts of the ship, including a nameplate, and anti-aircraft guns covered in decades of slime. The USS Lexington and another US aircraft carrier, the USS Yorktown, fought against three Japanese aircraft carriers from May 4-8, 1942 in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the first ever between carriers. The badly damaged Lexington, nicknamed "Lady Lex," was deliberately sunk by another US warship at the conclusion of the battle. More than 200 members of the crew died in the battle but most were rescued by other US vessels before the Lexington sank. We've located the USS Lexington after she sank 76 yrs ago. #RVPetrel found the WWII aircraft carrier & planes more than 3000m (~2mi) below Coral Sea near Australia. We remember her brave crew who helped secure 1st strategic US win in the Pacific Theater https://t.co/20ehjafD7dpic.twitter.com/HIvxNUDbsX— Paul Allen (@PaulGAllen) March 5, 2018 Admiral Harry Harris, who heads up the US military's Pacific Command (Pacom) - and whose father was one of the sailors evacuated - paid tribute to the successful research effort. "As the son of a survivor of the USS Lexington, I offer my congratulations to Paul Allen and the expedition crew of Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel for locating the 'Lady Lex,' sunk nearly 76 years ago at the Battle of Coral Sea," Mr Harris said in a statement. "We honour the valour and sacrifice of the 'Lady Lex's' Sailors - and all those Americans who fought in World War II - by continuing to secure the freedoms they won for all of us," he said. Preserved aircraft could be clearly seen on the seabed Credit: AFP photo courtesy of Paul G Allen The USS Lexington was carrying 35 aircraft when it went down. The search team said that 11 planes had been found including Douglas TBD-1 Devastators, Douglas SBD-3 Dauntlesses and Grumman F4F-3 Wildcats. Search teams led by Allen have discovered the wreckage of a number of historic warships including the USS Indianapolis, a US heavy cruiser which sank in the Philippine Sea in July 1945 after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.
