  The White House said today it's taking seriously new threats by North Korea, but said that Pyongyang has a history of what it called bellicose1 rhetoric2. North Korea warned Seoul today that the Korean Peninsula has entered a state of war. Christopher Hill is the former U.S. ambassador to South Korea. He said it's likely the war talk is designed to pump up the image of the new leader Kim Jung-un has been able to stand up to world powers.
 
  I don't think they are interested in hostilities3 commencing, but I think they are interested in showcasing this young, untested and not particularly appealing young leader.
 
  But Hill said North Korea is still potentially dangerous.
 
  The Kenyan Supreme4 Court ruled unanimously today that the presidential election will stand and Uhuru Kenyatta will be sworn in as president. NPR's Gregory Warner reports.
 
  A month of uncertainty5 in Kenya has come to a close. The Kenyan Supreme Court ruled against the suit brought by the presidential runner-up, Raila Odinga, claiming the election results were rigged and should be tossed out. While some thought the court might split along tribal6 lines, the unanimous decision sent a strong message that the election was deemed to free and fair. President-elected Uhuru Kenyatta will be sworn in next Tuesday. Now Kenyatta looks ahead to a second court case before the International Criminal Court. He is wanted on crimes against humanity connected to the violence of the 2007 election. Gregory Warner, NPR News, Nairobi.
 
  Afghan President Hamid Karzai is visiting the Gulf7 state of Qatar this weekend. NPR's Sean Carberry reports that among other issues, the two nations will discuss the stalled peace process with the Taliban.
 
  There have been on-and-off talks of opening an office in Doha for the Taliban for more than a year. The Karzai government initially8 rejected Qatar's host for peace talks but it's changed its position in recent months.
 
  We agree for the opening of this office, that's of course, we have our conditions.
 
  Afghan government spokesman, Aimal Faizi, says the proposed office can't be used for Taliban political activities and it's only an address for talks between the Taliban and members of  Afghanistan High Peace Council. However, the Taliban says it does not recognize the Karzai government and will not negotiate with its representatives. Sean Carberry, NPR News, Kabul.

  Philippine officials say a U.S. minesweeper that run aground in a major reef in southern waters early this year, has finally been removed. From Manila, Simone Orendain  reports the salvage11 operation took 73 days.
 
  The Philippine Coast Guard says the stern which was the last remaining piece of the USS guardian12 was lifted out of the Sulu Sea Saturday. The U.S. Navy says crews are now clearing what they called minor13 debris.The 224-foot ship got stuck on Tubbataha Reef on January 17th. U.S. salvage workers broke it apart and took away big chunks14. Tubbataha Reef is a popular dive spot teeming15 with biodiversity, and it's a designated United Nations world heritage site. The reef's administrators16 earlier reported about 43,000 square feet of coral was damaged. The coast guard says a team will check the extent of the damage Monday to determine how much the U.S. could be fined. For NPR News, I'm Simone Orendain in Manila.
 
  A spokesman for the South African president, says former President Nelson Mandela is now breathing without difficulty. He's been treated at a Pretoria hospital pneumonia17. Many South Africans are honoring Mandela in Easter services this weekend. Here is how it sounded at a methodist church in Soweto.
