Fire the conductor for missing the target.As Kim Jong-un arrived at the Vladivostok railway station on Wednesday, white-gloved attendants ran alongside his armoured train, wiping the dust from any surfaces that the North Korean leader might touch exiting the carriage.

North Korea is seeking diplomatic support in its negotiations with the US over its nuclear programme, and material support for its sanctions-hit economy.

He then sped off in a limousine brought to Vladivostok for his visit, as a retinue of bodyguards jogged alongside.
