(LEAD) unification minister-N Korea(ATTN: CHANGES photo) ANSEONG, South Korea, July 10 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's food prices have stabilized to some degree, aided by grain imports from China, but the secretive regime still faces a serious food crisis, South Korea's unification minister said Monday. Unification Minister Kwon Young-se told a press briefing that deaths from starvation have occurred in some areas in North Korea, and the scope of such regions appears to have further expanded amid disruptions in the state-controlled food supply.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine military on Sunday condemned a Chinese coast guard ship's 'excessive and offensive' use of a water cannon to block a Filipino supply boat from delivering new troops, food, water and fuel to a Philippine-occupied shoal in the disputed South China Sea. The tense confrontation on Saturday at the Second Thomas Shoal was the latest flare-up in the long-seething territorial conflicts involving China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei. The disputes in the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest sea lanes, have long been regarded as an Asian flashpoint and a delicate fault line in the rivalry between the United States and China in the region.

Manila is a concrete jungle that may feel restrictive with its imposing skyscrapers. Wouldn't it be better if it offered a better view of the water and sky?
