LONDON â  Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair  is pressing  his  long-held view that voters should be given a chance to re-think Brexit once plans for Britainâs departure from the European Union are clear.
 Blair  said Thursday that the Labour Party  he  led for 13 years should be actively challenging Brexit rather than going along with plans laid out by Prime Minister Theresa May and her Conservative Party allies.
 Blair  and other opponents argue that voters should be able to review these terms and decide whether to go ahead rather than be bound by the 2016 referendum  which saw Britons back Brexit by a four-point margin.
âIâm simply saying one very  very simple thing  which is that in 2016 you knew you wanted to get out of the European Union but you didnât see the terms of the alternative relationship â  Blair  told the BBC radio. âIf when you see those terms you think it is better to stick with Europe you are entitled to have that say.â
In an article on his website   Blair  said Labour should challenge May every week at prime ministerâs question time by asking why the Conservatives are âweakening our country.â That approach is only credible   he  said  if Labour is clearly opposed to Brexit.
 Blair âs political stock fell dramatically with public opposition to  his  decision to join the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq  and there are no indications that  his  opposition to Brexit is gaining traction within the party  which has moved sharply to the left since making Corbyn its leader in 2105.

Rick Pitino   the masterful coach first lured to this basketball-besotted state in 1989 to heal somebody elseâs scandal  finally toppled 28 years later Wednesday in the gusts of the latest scandal in  his  own program. By the time the University of Louisville placed  him  on unpaid administrative leave and shut off  his  access to a promising 17th season â  he  previously coached the University of Kentucky from 1989 to 1997 â it left a city woozy with scandal fatigue.
 Pitino  expressed dismay and surprise at the allegations Tuesday  just as  he  had after the revelations that former Louisville assistant Andre McGee had paid a Louisville escort to entertain the Cardinalsâ players and recruits.
âThese allegations come as a complete shock to me â  Pitino  said in a statement released Tuesday. âIf true  I agree with the U.S. Attorneyâs Office that these third-party schemes  initiated by a few bad actors  operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs  including the University of Louisville. Our fans and supporters deserve better and I am committed to taking whatever steps are needed to ensure those responsible are held accountable.â
The menâs basketball program is already under NCAA probation for the 2015 scandal.  Pitino  faced a five-game suspension during the upcoming season as part of the penalties; in addition  Louisville was ordered to return money received for NCAA tournament appearances from 2012 through 2015 and to vacate 123 wins during that period  including the 2013 national championship. The university has appealed the ruling.
 Pitino  found success at nearly every NCAA stop  he  made in a coaching career that began in the mid-1970s. At Boston University   his  first head coaching job   he  led the Terriers to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 24 years.  Pitino  parlayed that success into a two-year run at Providence  where  he  guided the Friars to the 1987 Final Four.
Then  after a two-year run coaching the New York Knicks   he  left  his  dream NBA job in 1989 to take over at tradition-rich but scandal-plagued Kentucky  even though the Wildcats would be banned from live television in  his  first season and from the NCAA tournament in  his  first two seasons.
After that  however   Pitino  quickly had Kentucky back among the nationâs elite  with a memorable Elite Eight appearance in the Wildcatsâ first post-probation season in 1992 and a Final Four bid the season after that   his  first of three appearances in the national semifinals at the school. In 1996   he  led Kentucky to its first national title in 18 years.
After an unsuccessful four-year run as coach and team president of the Boston Celtics   he  was back at another faded Kentucky power: Louisville  which had not won an NCAA tournament game in Denny Crumâs last four seasons.

SEOUL (Reuters) - In the seaside city of Wonsan  North Korean families cook up barbecues on the beach  go fishing  and eat royal jelly flavor ice cream in the summer breeze. For  their leader Kim Jong Un  the resort  is a summer retreat  a future temple to tourism  and a good place to test missiles.
 He  is rebuilding the city of 360 000 people and wants to turn it into a billion-dollar tourist hotspot. At the same time   he  has launched nearly 40 missiles from the area  as part of  his  accelerated tests of North Korea’s nuclear deterrent.
“It may sound crazy to outsiders to fire missiles from a place  he  wants to develop economically  but that’s how  Kim Jong Un  runs  his  country ” said Lim Eul-chul  an expert on the North Korean economy at Kyungnam University in South Korea.
This combination of tourism and nuclear weapons is emblematic of Kim Jong Un’s strategy for survival  say researchers and people familiar with the project.
Tourism is one of a shrinking range of North Korean cash sources not targeted by United Nations sanctions  and the brochures advertise to foreign investors some $1.5 billion worth of potential ventures in the Wonsan Special Tourist Zone  an area covering more than 400 square km (150 square miles).  Kim  has already constructed a ski resort and a new airport there.
The projects that  Kim  is inviting investors to help build include a $7.3 million department store  a $197 million city center development  and a $123 million golf course (including a $62.5 million fee to lease the land).
Earlier this year  Kim  sent 16 of  his  officials to Spain to get ideas for Wonsan. They visited Marina d‘Or  one of the Mediterranean country’s biggest holiday complexes  and the Terra Mitica (Mythical Land) theme park in Benidorm. Terra Mitica caters to fans “of extreme sensations ” according to its website.
No major foreign partner has said they will back  Kim ’s Wonsan projects. The new airport  completed in 2015  has yet to open to international flights. America recently banned its citizens from visiting North Korea. International sanctions now ban all joint ventures with the state.
Even so  the plan is strategically vital for  Kim   say former North Korean diplomats. When  he  came to power in 2011   he  inherited a society officially run by the military but whose people survived largely on black market dealings. On paper  North Korea is a state-run economy; but in fact  seven in 10 North Koreans depend on private trade to live  according to Thae Yong Ho  North Korea’s former deputy ambassador in London  who staged a high-profile defection with his family in 2016.
 Kim  is perceived by outsiders as all powerful  but North Korea’s free marketeers make  him  more vulnerable than  he  seems  Thae told Reuters.  The leader  is looking for a way to harness both military and market forces to survive.
Nuclear weapons are one part of  his  answer – because  Kim  hopes they will cost less to maintain than North Korea’s conventional heavy weapons. Projects like Wonsan are the other part.  He  wants to cut the share of funding  he  gives to the military and allocate more money to the civilian economy.
 “Kim Jong Un  knows that  he  can only control society and guarantee  his  long leadership if  his  role and influence in the economy is increased ” said Thae.
Just next door to that beachfront property  the Daesong General Bureau – the body also known as “Office 39” that procures luxury goods for the  Kim  family – has its retreat.
All three entities are subject to international sanctions because of their role in funneling cash into  Kim ’s nuclear and missile programs.
For  Kim ’s security forces  though  Wonsan is about more than fun in the sun.
 Kim  brought  his  top military brass to Wonsan in 2014. On the white sandy beach of  his  palace compound   he  ordered  his  highest admirals to strip into bathing costumes and  as a test of their ability  swim 10 km around the bay  state TV showed. It filmed  him  at a desk on the sand  shaded by a white parasol.
