North Korea says it will conduct live fire drill near the maritime border with South Korea on the western side of the Korean peninsula.  It comes a month after a similar exercise resulted in the unfriendly neighbors exchanging hundreds of artillery shells across disputed islands.  South Korea says it has cleared fishing vessels out of the area and its military is fully prepared.

Mexico is attempting to reign-in the vigilantes who’ve done more recently to curb drug gang activity in the western state of Michoacan than federal police have.  Authorities will begin registering the weapons of the vigilantes, and banning them from carrying weapons around in public.  People started arming themselves because the Knights Templar cartel was running wild with no pushback from police.  The vigilantes took control of several towns before federal police and soldiers were deployed.  Since then, almost all of the cartel leaders have been arrested.

A Queenslander must appear in court on 6 June on charges of causing a hijack scare on a flight to Bali.  28-year old Matt Christopher Lockley is accused of causing a ruckus on a flight last Friday, interfering with the crew, and banging on the cockpit door, claiming he thought it was the toilet.  Indonesian authorities held him over the weekend, but he was allowed to fly home where Federal Police were waiting to speak with him. 

Police in Lahore, Pakistan say a suspected serial killer has confessed to using a social network to lure Gay men to their deaths.  It’s making the underground LGBT community nervous in Pakistan, where homosexuality is illegal.  28-year old Muhammad Ejaz reportedly told officers that he had met the victims, including a retired army officer, at their homes, drugged them with sedatives hidden in food and strangled them.

Muslim leaders in the Czech Republic say police are abusing their power.  This comes after Prague police staged several raids on Islamic institutions, detaining at least 20 people at a mosque during Friday prayers.  One of those detained is the publisher of a book that law enforcement officials say promotes racism, anti-Semitism and violence against what it called “inferior races”.  Hate speech is punishable by up to 10 years in prison in the Czech Republic.

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is worried that street protests planned during the World Cup could hurt his team's chances of winning the title.  Scolari says that although Brazilians have the right to demand improvements to education, healthcare, and infrastructure, the timing “could, big-time” affect his players' performance during the tournament.  Millions of Brazilians are upset that the government is spending money on the World Cup and 2016 Olympics, rather than pressing societal needs.

A US Congressman turned himself in to authorities to be charged with business tax fraud.  Authorities say former FBI agent Michael Grimm defrauded taxpayers by grossly under-reporting the wages of his staff, and therefore how much payroll taxes he was required to send to the government.  A prosecutor says the former Marine, FBI agent, lawyer, accountant, and lawmaker “turned his back on every oath he had ever taken”.  Grimm denies the charges, and claims he’s the subject of a political witch-hunt.  Grimm is something of a backbencher who gained national notoriety earlier this year when he bravely lost his temper and threatened to murder a journalist by tossing the smaller man over a balcony in the US Capitol to the marble floor below.

Singer Paul Simon insists everything is fine with his wife Edie Brickell after the two were arrested over the weekend for a domestic disturbance in their Connecticut home.  72-year old Simon and 47-year old Brickell appeared holding hands before a judge, who did not issue a restraining order but required the pair to reappear next month.  “I got my feelings hurt and I picked a fight with my husband,” said Brickell in a statement released through her lawyer, “The police called it disorderly.  Thank God it’s orderly now.”  Hmmmmm.
