00:08A senior UN envoy warned that there was a grave risk of a miscalculation that could
00:13trigger conflict with North Korea, as he urged Pyongyang to keep channels open after a rare
00:18visit to the reclusive state.
00:21Jeffrey Feltman's four-day trip to the North, the first by such a high-ranking UN diplomat
00:26since 2010, kicked off less than a week after North Korea said it test-fired a new ballistic
00:32missile capable of reaching the United States.
00:36The United Nations said Feltman met North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho and Vice
00:42Foreign Minister Park Myung-kook, and they agreed that the current situation was the
00:46most tense and dangerous peace and security issue in the world today.
00:51Dangal actress Zaira Wasim has detailed a harrowing experience of being allegedly molested
00:57by a middle-aged man while she was on a flight from Delhi to Mumbai.

01:07foot up her back and neck while she was half-asleep.
01:11The airline posted a statement on its official Twitter account, stating,
01:16We have seen the reports regarding Zaira Wasim's experience with another customer on board
01:21last night.
01:22We are carrying out detailed investigation and will support Zaira in every way required.
01:28We have zero tolerance for such behaviour.
01:31Stormtroopers marched the red carpet as Star Wars music blared and fans cheered at the
01:36world premiere of the latest instalment in the beloved space opera franchise.
01:42The film will also serve as the closing gala of the Dubai International Film Festival on
01:47December 13, ahead of its global release.

01:57stormtroopers and a squad of elite guards clad in red armour walking the red carpet.
