A white-gloved flunky wipes down a chair for North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-un before his summit meeting with Vladimir Putin as part of checks to keep the leader safe.
The checks were made at the Vostochny Cosmodrome in eastern Russia ahead of a meeting between the leader of the isolationist nation and the Russian warlord. Ahead of the talks, a worker was caught on video wiping down the chair to be used by the North Korean.
One of the reasons put forward was Kim feared the high background radiation associated with the choice of meeting. Some among the international community however believe it is because Kim knows Putin’s hit squads are also known to use deadly agents Novichok and Polonium 210 to poison enemies or discarded friends.

Earlier today a body language expert revealed which despot came out on top when warlord Putin met with his North Korean counterpart. While the vocalised messages from both leaders were clear in their unified stance against Western "imperialism" and Kim's support for Putin's "sacred fight" in an apparent reference to , their subtle body language cues revealed a tussle for dominance.

Body language expert Judi James, who has authored 26 books on the topic, says that there was one clear victor in the allied leader's wrestle to be on top. A day after Kim's tank-like train rolled into the port city of Vladivostok yesterday morning, the pair sat down for a press conference at a remote cosmodrome space base in Russia's far east, to show a unified front.
But according to Ms James, there was a silent battle raging throughout.

Putin pulls at and re-positions his tie, suggesting distracted thinking." The tie is a key "phallic signal" which represents masculinity, especially for "alphas like these two men".
Putin's repositioning of the menswear staple suggests a rogue weakness from the Russian despot, which also allowed him to "form a partial body barrier with one hand".
Moving to the tyrant's face, Ms James noticed he "performs two small tongue pokes, which can be a signal of tension and a dry mouth and lips, or a sign of rejeciton or dislike". This is followed by "two large swallows" and a "sucking in of the lips".
He also bites "of the lower lip" to "imply anxiety". Inner tension is also seen because he has to clear his throat while speaking and holding his hand up when he coughs. Putin realises he's acting in a weak manner, Ms James believes, so he then moves his legs into a "pose of alpha confidence".
