North Korea has threatened to launch indiscriminate nuclear strikes against South Korea and mainland United States if they carry out a planned military exercise this week. The North said it considered the drills to be an undisguised attempt to infringe 8 its sovereignty. Steven Evans reports. The huge military maneuver 9 involving about 300,000 troops, 15,000 of them Americans, is an annual exercise and always generates tension. This year North Korea's nuclear test and the result in sanctions have heightened that tension. The North Korean military threatened what the state news agency called 'an indiscriminate nuclear strike to punish those keen on aggression 10 and war.' This kind of blood-curdling rhetoric 11 is not uncommon 12. Last year, North Korea threatened to turn Washington into a sea of fire.

The Islamist State group says it carried out a bomb attack in the Iraqi city of Hilla that killed at least 47 people. Explosives were detonated at a checkpoint, where dozens of cars were waiting to be inspected by the security forces. Our correspondent in Baghdad, Jonathan Bill, has been monitoring the situation. From what we can see, it looks like it was a suicide truck bomb. Some reports say it was a fuel tanker 13 with explosives laden 14 set off at about lunchtime locally. And as you can see, it caused huge devastation 15. It completely destroyed that checkpoint, obviously killing 16 a number of the Iraqi security forces there doing the checks, but also civilians 17, including, as we understand, a baby.

The man credited with the invention of email, the American, Ray Tomlinson , has died at the age of 74. In 1971, he came up with the idea of sending electronic messages from one person to another, and he wrote the first modern message while working in Boston as a computer engineer. He also pioneered the use of the @ symbol that is the key feature of all email addresses today. Mr. Tomlinson was asked in 2009 what was in the first email. Well, everybody asked that. And of course, I don't remember every single word of it. The main thing is there were a lot of test messages. And these things don't work out of the box, because there was no box. Every time you test, you have to generate some kind of a message, and you might drag your fingers across the keyboard or just take the opening phrase from Lincoln's Gettysburg, or something else. So, technically 18, the first email is completely forgettable, and therefore forgotten.

电子邮件创始人雷.汤姆林森去世。享年79。在1971年，他想到由一个人给另一个人发送电子邮件。当时作为一名电脑程序员，汤姆林森在波士顿写了第一封现代电子邮件，他还率先使用了@符号，这是现在所有电子邮件地址的关键功能。在2009年的时候，有人问汤姆林森，他在第一封电子邮件中写了什么。好吧，每个人都会问，当然我不记得每个单词，主要内容就是关于一些测试，你知道这些东西并不会制造出一个盒子，因为根本就不存在盒子。每次在测验的时候，你就不得不产生某种信息，也许用手指在键盘上敲击或者仅仅是打开葛底斯堡演讲中的一段话或者其他的东西。因此严格上说，第一次电子邮件的内容是完全遗忘的，所以我忘记了。
