SEOUL: North Korea has warned it could revive a state policy aimed at strengthen- ing its nuclear arsenal if the US does not lift economic sanctions against the coun- try. The Foreign Ministry statement on Friday evening came amid a sense of unease between Washington and Seoul over the use of sanc- tions and pressure to get the North to relinquish its nu- clear programme. It said North Korea could bring back its “pyongjin” policy of simultaneously ad- vancing its nuclear force and economic development if the US doesn’t change its stance. The North came short of threatening to aban- don the ongoing nuclear ne- gotiations with the US. But it accused Washington of derailing commitments made by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Trump at their June summit in Singapore to work toward a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, without describing how and when it would occur. In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Fri- day, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he plans to talk next week with his North Korean counterpart, apparently referring to sen- ior North Korean official Kim Yong Chol. He did not provide the location and date for the meet, likely to be fo- cussed on persuading North to take firmer steps toward denuclearisation and setting up a second summit between Trump and Kim. —Agencies AGENCIES / Ankara The order to kill Saudi jour- nalist Jamal Khashoggi came from the highest level of the Saudi government, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Fri- day, adding the international community had the respon- sibility to “reveal the puppet masters” behind the slaying. In an op-ed in The Wash- ington Post, Erdogan said he did not believe Saudi King Salman had ordered the killing of Khashoggi at the Saudi Consulate on October 2. He said Turkey’s close ties to Saudi Arabia did not mean Turkey could turn a blind eye to the killing of the journalist. “We know that the order to kill Khashoggi came from the highest levels of the Sau- di government,” Erdogan said. Erdogan wrote: “As re- sponsible members of the in- ternational community, we must reveal the identities of the puppet masters behind Khashoggi’s killing and dis- cover those in whom Saudi officials — still trying to cov- er up the murder — have placed their trust.” Meanwhile in Bulgaria, Is- raeli Prime Minister Ben- jamin Netanyahu called Khashoggi’s slaying a hor- rendous act that “should be duly dealt with” in a way that doesn’t undermine Sau- di Arabia’s stability. Netanyahu said that Iran is a bigger threat than Saudi Arabia and those who want to punish the Middle East kingdom need to bear that in mind. Diver dies in search of Indonesia jet crash dead JAKARTA: An Indone- sian diver died while re- covering body parts from the ill-fated Lion Air plane which crashed into the sea killing 189 people, an offi- cial said on Saturday. Syachrul Anto, 48, who died on Friday, was part of the team searching for body parts and debris from the jet in the Java Sea. “He was a volunteer with the Search and Res- cue Agency,” Isswarto, commander of the In- donesian navy’s search and rescue division, said. Meanwhile, divers searching for wreckage be- longing to Lion Air flight have found the fuselage of the crashed airliner and said they heard a signal from its missing cockpit voice recorder, he said. The divers had detected a char- acteristic “ping” sound from the second black box. —Agencies AGENCIES Washington Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers $100 bil- lion a year, President Trump said as he slammed the Dem- ocratic party for advocating an open border policy facili- tating an easy entry of ille- gal immigrants into the US. His comments came amid a row over a caravan of 5,000 to 7,000 people mostly from Latin American countries, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, currently at the southern US border along Mexico to enter America. Trump said soldiers de- ployed to stop the illegal im- migrants from entering the US would not open fire, but would arrest them if they threw stones at the troops. “Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers more than $100 billion every single year, more than three times the entire state budget of In- diana. We need to use our precious resources to help our fellow Americans who respect our laws, not illegal caravans who break into our borders and break our laws,” Trump said in Indiana. Democrat immigration policies not only drain US treasury, but they threaten communities, he alleged. Meanwhile, former US president Barack Obama has termed as "political stunt" his successor Trump's move of sending troops to the Mexican border where thousands of "impoverished refugees" are waiting to en- ter America, saying this is not patriotism. “In 2018 sud- denly, they are telling you the biggest threat to Ameri- ca is some impoverished refugees a thousand miles away on foot, got their babies with them. Broke, got no money. This is terrible. And that's not enough just to lie about it,” Obama said at an election rally in Georgia. AGENCIES Islamabad The lawyer of Asia Bibi fled Pakistan early on Saturday after fearing for his life amid countrywide protests by hundreds of radical Islamist hardliners against the ac- quittal of the Christian woman who was sentenced to death for committing blas- phemy, media reports said. Bibi, a 47-year-old mother of four, was convicted in 2010 after being accused of in- sulting Islam in a row with her neighbours. She always maintained her innocence, but has spent most of the past eight years in solitary confinement. Her lawyer Saiful Malook claimed he was facing life threats from sections of lawyers and it was difficult for him to practice in the pre- vailing situation, the Ex- press Tribune reported. He, however, clarified he would return to Pakistan to represent his client at the hearing of the review peti- tion if the Army provided him security. “My family is also facing immense securi- ty threats and the federal government should provide security to them,” he said. It was unknown which place he was headed for in his bid to evade life threats and how long would he stay there. Meanwhile, the com- plainant in the case, Qari Muhammad Saalam, has re- quested the Supreme Court for the early hearing of a re- view petition against its Oc- tober 31 order acquitting Bibi, who was booked for blasphemy in 2009. Saalam said Bibi is planning to leave the country and an applica- tion has already been filed to place her name on the Exit Control List (ECL). In case this review petition is not fixed, he said, the ap- plication/petition shall suf- fer an irreparable loss and injury.

Palvinder and Pritpal Binning, both in their mid-50s, were arrested by the UK’s Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) earlier this week after a raid on their home in Chilworth, near Southampton on southern coast of England. GLAA officers said they acted after a frail Polish man told staff at a walk-in healthcare centre in Southampton that he had been forced to work in exchange for food. The Binnings have since been released under investigation, pending further enquiries. GLAA, the workers’ watchdog, said its officers also searched the property and seized evidence which may prove critical to the probe. “Following the two arrests we made, our probe is ongoing as we examine and assess the evidence we collected from the property,” said GLAA Senior IO Tony Byrne. —Agencies WASHINGTON: A 46-year- old Indian-American has been arrested and charged in California on charges of H-1B visa fraud.

Kavu- ru has been charged with 10 counts of visa fraud and as many counts of mail fraud in connection with a scheme to maintain a pool of foreign workers for the clients of his consulting companies. The accused faces 10 years in jail and a fine of $250,000 for each count of visa fraud and up to 20 years of jail for each count of mail fraud. Since 2007, Kavuru was the owner and CEO of four con- sulting firms. He is accused of submitting fraudulent documents to both the depts of Labour and Homeland Se- curity, containing details of bogus work projects await- ing the foreign workers. Because many applications were approved, the Indian- American had a pool of un- employed H-1B beneficiaries that were immediately avail- able for legitimate work proj- ects, giving him a competi- tive advantage over other staffing firms that followed the sometimes-lengthy visa- application process, federal prosecutors said. —Agencies BEIJING: China said it will provide the "necessary sup- port" to Pakistan to tide over the present financial crisis, expand CPEC projects as the two countries signed 16 agreements on Saturday af- ter talks between Prime Min- ister Imran Khan and his Chinese counterpart Li Ke- qiang to boost their "all- weather" strategic ties.

Li, who held a ceremonial welcome for Khan, said, “We have a high-level of po- litical trust and close coop- eration in all fields.
