1.Former President Bill Clinton is on a mission to North Korea. He is hoping to secure the release of two jailed American journalists. The White House isn’t commenting on the visit for now.

2.Iran claims it arrested three American hikers for illegal entry and says western media are using the issue for propaganda. Reports say the hikers ignored warnings and straightly crossed the unmarked border between northern Iraq and Iran.
