US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared to have made a diplomatic faux pas and referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as ‘Chairman Un’ ahead of a visit to Pyongyang on Wednesday.

Washington’s top diplomat said the US was beginning "to put some outlines around the substance of the agenda for the summit between the President (Trump) and Chairman Un".

Mr Pompeo faced a backlash on Twitter due to the mistake, which was revealed in the official transcript of his comments to reporters on board his plane to Asia.

"Somebody really needs to have a word with Secretary of State Pompeo before he meets anybody in North Korea," wrote Twitter user Alistair Coleman.

"He just referred to Kim Jong-un as “Chairman Un”. That’s like, I dunno, calling Winston Churchill “Prime Minister Spencer”.

It is not the first time that embarrassing errors have appeared in official White House material.

Last year Xi Jinping, the president of China, was referred to as the president of the Republic of China – the official name for Taiwan.

The White House press office also incorrectly referred to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as “President Abe of Japan” during the G20 meeting in Hamburg, Germany.

However, Donald Trump, the US President, did correctly refer to the leader of Japan as prime minster during his remarks at the summit.

Mr Pompeo’s trip is his second to Pyongyang, and comes ahead of a summit between Mr Trump and Kim in coming weeks.

Although some may have seen Mr Pompeo’s slip as a sign of lack of preparedness for his trip to North Korea, others believe it may be due to an error from the White House official responsible for transcribing the remarks.

The family name appears at the start of the full name in many Asian countries, while the given name appears at the end.

The scheduled lightweight main event from last Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event in Dublin, Ireland — Dustin Poirier vs. Joe Duffy — has been rescheduled for the 1/2 UFC 195 PPV show in Las Vegas, NV, announced on UFC Tonight Wednesday.

The 27-year-old Duffy (14-1) was pulled out of the fight three days prior by UFC due to his suffering a concussion in training on 10/17. Poirier was asked to face Norman Parke as a replacement, but turned the fight down, feeling it would do nothing to help his career. He was hoping the Duffy fight would be rescheduled, and got his wish.

Duffy is looking to extend a four fight win streak (2-0 UFC), while Poirier (18-4) has won both of his fights since returning to lightweight.

That fight joins a lineup headlined by Robbie Lawler vs. Carlos Condit for the welterweight title, Stipe Miocic vs. Andrei Arlovski in a top heavyweight contender fight, Albert Tumenov vs. Lorenz Larkin, Neil Magny vs. Stephen Thompson, and more.

George Soros’ foundation said on Tuesday it would close its office in Budapest and move to Berlin, leaving what it called "an increasingly repressive political and legal environment" in Hungary.

The pro-democracy group said it was pulling out a day after the right-wing government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced it would tighten restrictions on non-governmental organisations, under a law dubbed the "Stop Soros " bill.

Mr Orban, who won a landslide election victory last month, has repeatedly accused Mr Soros and his organisation of encouraging migrants and undermining the national culture.

Mr Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF) organisation said it would continue to support human rights work in Hungary as well as projects linked to arts, media freedom, transparency, education and health care.

But it would move its Budapest-based international operations and staff to Germany.

"The government of Hungary has denigrated and misrepresented our work and repressed civil society for the sake of political gain, using tactics unprecedented in the history of the European Union," OSF president Patrick Gaspard said in a statement.

Opposition and rights groups have long said that a departure of the OSF would mark a milestone in a slide towards authoritarian rule in Hungary and go against the principles of the EU – a charge dismissed by the government.

Hungarian government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs declined to comment.

Mr Orban has increased his control over the media and put allies in control of formerly independent institutions, while his stand on refusing to accept large numbers of migrants in Hungary has also put him in conflict with the EU.

Mr Orban and Mr Soros have clashed over the 2015 European migration crisis. Mr Orban says Mr Soros is out to undermine Europe’s cultural identity while the billionaire has accused him of running a mafia state.

Before the election, Mr Orban’s political campaign vilified Mr Soros, and his activity supporting civil society, on billboards nationwide.

Open Society said the campaign had "invoked anti-Semitic imagery from World War II". The government has repeatedly denied this.

The NGO legislation is expected to be one of the first laws passed by the new parliament.

It would allow the interior minister to ban any NGOs active in the immigration field deemed to pose a "national security risk". It would also impose a 25-percent tax on foreign donations to NGOs that back migration.

Thousands of women took to the streets of Seoul over the weekend to demand that the police fairly investigate digital sex crimes involving hidden cameras.

Demonstrators among the 12,000-strong gathering claimed that the police would “speed up” their investigations if the victims of privacy intrusions of a sexual nature were men, while allegedly dragging their feet over abuse cases involving women, including ubiquitous "spy-cam" or “revenge porn.”

The event on Saturday was one of the largest female protests in recent South Korean history. Many wore red as a symbol of their anger, while chanting “women are also citizens of Korea,” reported the Korea Times.

The protest was sparked by the arrest of a female model, 25, for allegedly photographing a male colleague naked without his knowledge while he was posing for university fine art students, and uploading the picture online.

The young man was reportedly distraught after his picture went viral and he was ridiculed.

Women were surprised, however, by how quickly the police rushed to solve the case – taking under a week to do so. Over 400,000 people have now signed a petition to the presidential Blue House, demanding “equal justice” and claiming that the female suspect has been unfairly treated.

“Just because the victim is a man and the suspect is a woman this time, the country is investigating the case differently,” wrote one petitioner, according to the JoongAng daily.

“Remember the cases of women who were victims of hidden camera crimes and went to the police for help?” wrote another. “They would be told, ‘Well you had it coming to you, because you didn’t dress modestly’ or ‘We can’t catch the culprit. It’s too hard’.”

For years, South Korean women have been victims of what was described by the Korea Expose website as a “spy-cam porn epidemic”. They have been secretly filmed in public bathrooms, changing rooms, or a camera has been pointed up their skirt on an escalator, and the footage is then posted online.

In 2016, the police closed down Soranet, one of the most notorious websites for hidden camera footage of female body parts, and which had over one million users. It reportedly took the authorities ten years to do so.

According to police data, almost 5,200 sexual harassment cases involving spy-cam footage were reported in 2016. Over 80 percent of the victims were women. The same year, more than 7,300 requests were made to remove revenge porn, which had often been illegally uploaded.

Petitioners to the Blue House also mentioned the case of five male swimmers who were charged for installing spy cameras in the female swimmers’ locker room. They were pronounced innocent last year by a local court, citing lack of evidence.

The presidential office has proposed regulating hidden camera sales, imposing stronger penalties and providing a stronger support system for victims.

It looks like USA Network won’t be keeping SmackDown Live when their contract goes up for renewal which is not only a pretty big hit to WWE but it also means that WWE’s Blue Brand will need to find a new home.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radiothat Fox doesn’t want SmackDown on its own because there won’t likely be any interest without Raw as well. But Raw is rumored to be renewed on NBC Universal for three times the current value which will be around $240 million for WWE’s Monday Night show. Here are Meltzer’s thoughts transcribed by Ringside News:

“They’ll get interest in SmackDown somewhere, it’s live programming.”
“Fox is interested in Raw still I can tell you that %100 it may just be USA isn’t interested in bidding for SmackDown, they are interested in bidding for Raw and we’ll see how this plays out. But the news in this is that they’re getting a big increase.”

But Raw being worth what it is along with the fact that WWE’s stock prices are doing outstanding right now probably means there will be plenty of interest for SmackDown Live somewhere.

But as Meltzer continued to discuss the matter, Fox doesn’t seem to be interested in SmackDown Live on their flagship channel.
“Fox is not going to put SmackDown on Fox that’s not going to happen I don’t think. They were very much putting Raw on big Fox — SmackDown I don’t see it. Okay now we’re talking about do you want to spend that kind of money on a Tuesday night show on FS1? The problem is with FS1 when you’re talking about baseball or basketball playoffs or things like that there are sporting events on Tuesday nights.”

The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, is one of the greatest, hottest and most successful tag teams in professional wrestling history. Despite not working for the WWE, The Young Bucks has amassed such a huge following and has garnered fame beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. According to The Young Bucks, they will be free agents by the end of the year. The brothers had signed a two-year deal in late 2016 keeping them in New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor. Nick Jackson recently took to Twitter and revealed their contract status, as seen below:

@NickJacksonYB I m waiting to see you in WWE. Please come soon asap.
— Manish The Rink (@Rink_TheCool) May 23, 2018

Not possible right now we have 6 months left on our current contracts. Never say never but we’re very happy with what we’re doing. https://t.co/kRpsGZ0DvT

While The Young Bucks will be free to sign with the WWE by the end of the year, they have recently indicated that they are currently not interested in signing with the world’s largest wrestling promotion. During a recent interview with Chris Jericho, Matt said that it would be “kind of dumb” to sign with the WWE at this stage of their careers.
Below is what Matt Jackson said:
“If we left right now [for WWE], it would be kind of dumb of us because they couldn’t pay us what we’re making right now, not with the schedule we’re on too. There’s no way.” “Of course they could [afford the pay]! Do you know what I mean? I just don’t think they would!”

Nick Jackson then told Jericho that while a future WWE run is not something they can answer “because [they] don’t know the future,” it will always be a lingering question for them and Kenny Omega if they don’t ever end up signing with them.
Below is what Nick Jackson said:
“It’s always going to be a question. No matter how big we get, it will always be a question that lingers on in our career, I think, as well as Kenny because the three of us, well, he went to [WWE] developmental for a little bit, but people don’t remember that. I don’t even know if that counts as a WWE run, but it will always be a question. The way we’re going, we could probably quit in five years.” “At this point, [WWE]’s not a goal. We don’t need it. It was [a goal] for sure. For our first eight years, that was the goal.”

The road to NXT Takeover: Chicago has officially begun thanks to this week’s edition of the show. NXT premiered in Full Sail University this week and it officially confirmed three of the matches for the upcoming Takeover show. EC3 also returned to action while Dakota Kai was finally given the chance to stand up to Shayna Baszler and take her title. As far as which matches were confirmed for Takeover, one of them was decided right off the bat.
Aleister Black came down to the ring for a promo to open the show this week. The NXT Champion acknowledged that he is unclear who his next challenger will be, however, he remains confident since he has proven in the past that all he needs is just one shot to make his opponents fade to black.
Lars Sullivan suddenly came down to the ring and glanced down at Black. He claimed that NXT General Manager William Regal has named him as the next challenger for the NXT title. Sullivan said that Black has never faced anybody with his size, strength, or dominance, and he promised to win the title at NXT Takeover: Chicago. He charged after the champ with a chokeslam, but Black fought him off and attempted to hit the Black Mass kick. Lars caught his foot just in time, which caught Black completely off guard. Sullivan dished out the Freak Accident before posing with the NXT Championship and leaving the ring.

The War Raiders vs. Cody Vincent & George Hickson –
Obviously, these local enhancement talents did not fare too well against Hanson and Rowe in this match. George immediately went after Rowe in an attempt to get the advantage, but Rower struck him down. Hanson was promptly tagged in and both War Raiders laid out Hickson with a double clothesline.
Vincent tagged in only to get thrown around the ring by Hanson for a while. Rowe tagged back in and decided to hit Cody with some punches in the corner of the ring. Both men then took turns ramming themselves hard into an already lifeless Vincent in the corner. Once George got back in there, Hanson laid him out with a springboard back elbow. Rowe impressively lifted Cody up into the air while Hanson went up to the top of the corner ring post. With Cody being held up, Hanson gave him a top rope leg drop to score the win.
Winners: The War Raiders

A video package for the Dakota Kai vs. Shayna Baszler main event match for the women’s title aired. Kai said that she had been dreaming of this match since she was a child and she promised to finally put Shayna in her place.
Lacey Evans was interviewed backstage to address her huge win over Kairi Sane on NXT last week. With both women now having one win over each other, they will be having the rubber match on next week’s NXT. Evans said that she’s got a Woman’s Right for Sane that she plans on dishing out next week.
Fabian Aichner vs. EC3 –

EC3 returned to action here against the former Cruiserweight Classic competitor. Aichner went after EC3 early and got the chance to display some of his impressive power moves. In fact, Aichner was in control for a good portion of this match until EC3 was able to send him crashing outside of the ring.
He went after Aichner when Johnny Gargano suddenly emerged, causing the match to fall into the background momentarily. Gargano brought out a contract and informed the Full Sail crowd that it was official documents for a street fight between himself and Tommaso Ciampa at NXT Takeover: Chicago. Gargano then stormed off to the back and generously allowed the match to continue. Aichner and EC3 got back to work.
What EC3 did not realize was that Aichner had slid back into the ring. Fabian ran up to the top of a ring post and dove onto EC3 outside of the ring. This allowed Aichner to get a two count, but after that, EC3 was already back on his feet and gave him a fireman’s carry/neckbreaker combo win the match.
Winner: EC3
Up next was a video package highlighting the upbringing and background of Bianca Belair. NXT usually does a great job with these video packages, and this one was no exception. Bianca said that athleticism has always come naturally to her. She has always felt like she has a family reputation to maintain given that her grandfather was the first African American electrician in North Carolina. Belair said it was crucial for her to go to college, so she worked days and nights for years before she received an athletic scholarship to attend college.
Although Bianca excelled in school, she noted that she went back to living her normal life after her education concluded. However, she became focused on powerlifting before CrossFit changed her entire life. After WWE officials saw some of what she was capable of, she was invited to the Performance Center to take part in a tryout. Belair noted that she had no previous wrestling training and did not have a background in Japan like others on the roster. She started from ground zero, and according to her, she is still passing by everybody.
Belair said that she has no problem telling all the other women in NXT that she is the best and she will show them that she is the most powerful woman in the division. Belair promised to shine from now on in NXT. This Mae Young Classic competitor is definitely someone to look out for in the future.
Chris Dijak vs. Ricochet –
The standout from Ring of Honor formerly known as Donovan Dijak made his NXT television debut in this match against Ricochet. He charged after Ricochet with a boot, but he ducked and started dishing out punches to the much taller Dijak in the corner of the ring.
Ricochet kicked him outside of the ring before doing a dive onto him. Unfortunately for him Dijak was actually able to catch him and throw him back into the ring. Dijak was given a few different chances to shine in this match. He hit an impressive springboard elbow drop on Ricochet, but that was only able to get him a two count. After that, Dijak hit a moonsault (which is insane given his height), but Ricochet moved out of the way before he connected with the move.
As impressive as it was to see Rowe lift Cody Vincent in the air earlier in the night, Ricochet was somehow able to deadlift Chris Dijak onto his shoulders and slam him down to the ring canvas! “The One and Only” then climbed up to the top of the ring post and hit the 630 for another victory.
Winner: Ricochet
He was not done there though. After the match, Ricochet grabbed a microphone and said that The Velveteen Dream not only loved the spotlight, but he also deserved to have it. Ricochet even acknowledged that The Velveteen Dream is one of the most entertaining superstars in the history of NXT. After saying that, he also noted that that same spotlight also exposed some of his flaws and that he is not as good as he thinks that he is.
This brought out The Velveteen Dream on the stage who said that the spotlight was on them last week when The Velveteen Dream turned on Ricochet during their handicap match against Lars Sullivan. He said that no matter what Ricochet did, The Dream could do it even better. Ricochet called The Velveteen Dream a coward in response. He dared Dream to get into the ring and face him right then and there, and although he did begin walking towards the ring, he stopped in the middle of the ramp and said that there was only one spotlight big enough for the two of them.
With that being said, The Velveteen Dream declared that he and Ricochet will face off at NXT Takeover: Chicago. Before he left, Dream reiterated that he could do what Ricochet does bigger and better. Ricochet reponded by diving out of the ring and landing directly in front of The Velveteen Dream! Ricochet once again challenged Dream to prove how tough he is right at the moment, but ol’ Velvey instead walked off and went to the back.
Dakota Kai vs. Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women’s Championship –
This match has been building up for weeks and weeks with Baszler bullying Kai backstage every single chance that she gets. Kai’s dream is to win the NXT Women’s Championship but she is beyond petrified of the champion, especially given that Baszler faced Kai and broke her arm in her debut match in NXT. With only once chance to defeat the bully and win the title, Kai faced her fears and decided to valiantly fight against Shayna Baszler.
Dakota Kai was sadly not as prepared as she may have thought that she was for this match. Baszler mostly dominated the match with some strikes and kicks. She later tried to stomp out Kai’s arm much like she did when she made wrestled her first NXT match against Kai.
Baszler locked in an ankle lock while Kai screamed and cried out in pain. She tried desperately to get the ropes, but Shayna was able to pull her back. Even after the New Zealand star was able to get to the ropes, Baszler was relentless as she quickly locked the move back on.
Finally, after some grit and determination, Kai was able to fight out of the move. Although she was now left to hobble around the ring, there was a glimmer of hope that Kai could accomplish her dream and be crowned the new NXT Women’s Champion. She got some offense in when she starting punching the champion before administering a bicycle kick to the face. The crowd in Full Sail was now even starting to get behind the plucky challenger.
With Baszler resting in the corner of the ring, Kai gave her a vicious kick to the face before immediately dishing out another one right after that. With the champion seemingly weakened at last Kai attempted to hit her finisher, but that was when Baszler was able to launch Kai upwards and reverse the move into a Kirifuda Clutch. Now locked in the most devastating move in the NXT women’s division with nowhere else to go, Kai was left with no choice but to tap out.
Winner: Shayna Baszler
After the bell rung, Baszler decided to inflict more punishment and locked her in the submission maneuver once again. This brought out SAnitY’s Nikki Cross to make the save. Shayna seemed puzzled and unsure what to make of this at first. Baszler sat in the corner of the ring while she and Nikki had a staredown. Baszler crawled out of the ring not eager to start a fight with Cross as she made her way to the back for the evening.
On her way out, Nikki randomly charged after her and stole the title right off her shoulders. She ran back into the ring and challenged Shayna to come back to the ring and get it from her. She laid it across the canvas and sat in the corner. Shayna reached down to grab the title when Nikki once swooped it out of her grasp. Nikki Cross then challenged Baszler to a title match on the spot and also asked Kai to serve as referee. No bell ever rung, but Cross did hit a swinging neckbreaker on Shayna while Kai did count an actual legitimate 3-count. Believing that she had just won the title, Nikki celebrated in the Full Sail crowd with the NXT Women’s Championship before exiting through the stage.
This almost certainly means that an actual match between Cross and Baszler will be taking place at NXT Takeover: Chicago, but what is certain is that Ciampa vs. Gargano II, Ricochet vs. The Velveteen Dream, and Lars Sullivan vs. Aleister Black for the NXT Championship will be taking place during that show. The weekend of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view promises to deliver some fantastic action with matches such as those, and perhaps others that have yet to be announced. I’ll see you NXT time!
