By KIM TONG-HYUNG and HYUNG-JIN KIM (Associated Press)SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Reports that Kim Jong Un may travel to Russia soon have drawn attention to the traditional method of travel for North Korean leaders: luxury, armored trains that have long been a part of the dynasty’s lore and are symbols of its deep isolation.In what would be his first foreign travel since the start of the pandemic, Kim may visit Russia this month for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a U.S. official has said, possibly to discuss North Korean arms sales to refill Russian reserves drained by its war on Ukraine.According to U.S. reports, the two leaders could meet in the eastern city of Vladivostok, the site of their first get-together in April 2019, when Kim took his green-and-yellow train. Putin is expected in the city for the annual Eastern Economic Forum that runs from Sunday to Wednesday.The reports come at a time when the leaders’ interests are aligning in the face o...

Flu season is fast approaching, and with rising COVID-19 cases and RSV cases rising in the Southeast, public health officials are urging the public to prepare to head off what some worry could be a "tripledemic."Fortunately, vaccines are available for all three viruses.About two-thirds of Americans plan to get the annual flu shot, according to pharmacy chain CVS.And similar to the treatments for COVID-19, RSV — or respiratory syncytial virus — can be treated with monoclonal antibodies, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expect to be ready by early October.Furthermore, two new vaccines created by GSK and Pfizer "are available to protect older adults from severe RSV disease," the CDC said.And the newest COVID-19 vaccine boosters are expected to roll out this month, possibly as soon as next week.For more information about the viruses, vaccines and treatments, visit the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health website.

Your car is spying on you, report says

Cars are getting an “F” in data privacy. Most major manufacturers admit they may be selling your personal information, a new study finds, with half also saying they would share it with the government or law enforcement without a court order.The proliferation of sensors in automobiles — from telematics to fully digitized control consoles — has made them prodigious data-collection hubs.But drivers are given little or no control over the personal data their vehicles collect, researchers for the nonprofit Mozilla Foundation said Wednesday in their latest “Privacy Not Included” survey Security standards are also vague, a big concern given automakers’ track record of susceptibility to hacking.“Cars seem to have really flown under the privacy radar and I’m really hoping that we can help remedy that because they are truly awful,” said Jen Caltrider, the study’s research lead. “Cars have microphones and people have all kinds of sensitive conversations in them.
