By PETER BAKER and GARDINER HARRIS 11:44 PM ET
While President Trump and Kim Jong-un of North Korea spoke in war terms, top officials told Americans that they could “sleep well at night” and urged North Korea to “stand down.”
Allies like Japan and South Korea were caught off guard by Mr. Trump’s threat of “fire and fury,” and analysts reported deep anxiety in the region over the escalating war of words.

This morning police in Switzerland swooped on a Zurich hotel in a dawn raid and arrested seven of FIFA’s officials on suspicion of receiving bribes and kickbacks totalling more than $100m. The FBI has been probing FIFA’s shenanigans since 2011. America deserves a pat on the back for lobbing a legal grenade into an organisation that has got away with too much for too long http://econ.st/1cir7QJ

And the most extraordinary aspect of Jim Murphy's "100 towns in 100 days" tour wasn't that he was forced to suspend it for a few days because he was attacked by a man lobbing an egg. It was that he encountered very little aggro the rest of the time. I can't imagine any other country where that would be the case.
The opening bell for open data has been rung. Over the past week, a ganglion of groups has unveiled initiatives in support of freely accessible public sector information. One of the most interesting developments comes from the relatively obscure area of aid. The charity Publish What You Fund (PWYF) ranks donors by their level of transparency http://econ.st/1fgrVSX
In 2008 Hervé Falciani walked out of the Geneva branch of HSBC where he'd worked for three years, clutching five CD-Roms containing data on as many as 130,000 account holders. The theft has lobbed a bomb into Europe's private-banking market, spawning raids and tax-evasion investigations across the continent http://econ.st/1er6G0u

terroir
tɛrˈwɑː,French tɛrwar/
noun「風土」（terroir）
- the complete natural environment in which a particular wine is produced, including factors such as the soil, topography, and climate.
- the characteristic taste and flavour imparted to a wine by the environment in which it is produced.noun: goût de terroir; plural noun: goût de terroirs
Terroir (French pronunciation: [tɛʁwaʁ]; Spanish: terruño, pago) comes from the word "terre", English "land". It was originally a French term in wine, coffee and tea used to denote the special characteristics that geography bestowed upon particular varieties. Agricultural sites in the same region share similar soil, weather conditions, and farming techniques, which all contribute to the unique qualities of the crop. It can be very loosely translated as "a sense of place," which is embodied in certain characteristic qualities, the sum of the effects that the local environment has had on the manufacture of the product. Terroir is often italicized in English writing to show that it is a French loanword. The concept of terroir is at the base of the French wine Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system that has been the model for appellation and wine laws across the globe. At its core is the assumption that the land from which the grapes are grown imparts a unique quality that is specific to that region. The amount of influence and the scope that falls under the description of terroir has been a controversial topic in the wine industry.[1]

grenade
Line breaks: gren|ade 手榴彈
The Old French word grenate, the root of grenade, is a shortened form of pome grenate ‘pomegranate’, literally ‘many-seeded apple’. The connection is the supposed resemblance between the shape of the bomb and that of the fruit. Early on in its history grenade could also refer to the fruit. Continuing the fruity theme, a hand grenade has, since the First World War, been informally known as a pineapple.
