North Korea’s state media announced today that leader Kim Jong Un inspected the site for testing a “newly developed cutting-edge strategic weapon,” as Reuters reports (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles/north-korea-state-media-says-kim-oversees-testing-of-newly-developed-weapon-yonhap-idUSKCN1NK2ZP?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=50966d6762-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_15_09_32&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-50966d6762-145367789) .

** U.S. Sanctions Saudis

The U.S. Treasury today levied sanctions against 17 Saudi Arabian officials allegedly involved in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, hours after the kingdom’s public prosecutor said he would seek the death penalty for five people it has charged in the case, as the
WSJ’s Margherita Stancati and Ian Talley report (https://www.wsj.com/articles/saudi-arabia-brings-charges-over-khashoggi-killing-seeks-death-penalty-1542278127?mod=hp_lead_pos7&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=50966d6762-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_15_09_32&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-50966d6762-145367789) .

May Deal
------------------------------------------------------------
Theresa May was battling to save her Brexit deal and her own position as prime minister on Thursday after a series of ministerial resignations and the threat of a Eurosceptic coup left the Conservative party on the brink of civil war, as the FT’s George Parker, Jim Pickard and Laura Hughes report (https://www.ft.com/content/a269b042-e8f6-11e8-885c-e64da4c0f981?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=50966d6762-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_15_09_32&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-50966d6762-145367789) .

These missile bases can be used for all classes of ballistic missiles (including ICBMs), and presumably should have been identified in any final and fully verifiable denuclearization agreement.
