KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This is going in the wrong direction.
The Tigers, at the most inopportune time, lost their third straight game and their sixth out of seven, a dispiriting 5-2 defeat against the Kansas City Royals on Aug. 21, at Kauffman Stadium.
Slip-sliding away.
They are suddenly six games under .500 (61-67) for the first time since July 31. At game's end, they were six games back in the Central Division and 2.5 back in the wild-card race.
The Tigers' hitters couldn't do anything against Royals' lefty Noah Cameron. He shut them down over seven innings at Comerica Park on July 24. And he did it again Friday over five innings. He was at 85 pitches and he was coming off a complete-game, two-hit shutout in Anaheim, which is why his outing was stopped after five.

In Trent Dilfer's coaching return to Lipscomb Academy and TSSAA football, the Mustangs were inches short of a season opening upset.
McCallie's defense stopped Lipscomb Academy at the goal line on 4th and goal to preserve a 27-24 overtime victory on Aug. 21 in Chattanooga.
Lipscomb Academy twice appeared close to scoring on the overtime possession but were denied. On third and goal, Turner White carried inside the 1-yard line but was ruled short. Duke commit Mikel Stephens was stopped inches short on a fourth and goal carry in the game's final play.
And while the Mustangs will drive back up Interstate-24 with a 0-1 record, it was a huge effort against a Division II-AAA power in Dilfer's return after three seasons at UAB.
The Mustangs led 17-7 in the second quarter after a 78-yard touchdown catch by Jaxon Spencer via a reverse pass. But the Blue Tornado slowly chipped away at the deficit.

A pair of Washington Huskies icons made their way back to Montlake this week, as Jermaine Kearse and Myles Gaskin stopped by fall camp to check out the 2026 edition of Jedd Fisch's program.
Kearse spent Tuesday morning at his old stomping grounds, looking on at the current generation of Husky pass catchers. The Lakewood, Washington native played his college ball for his hometown team from 2008-2011, where he finished his career No. 2 in program history in career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
Following his illustrious college career, Kearse signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, where he played for five of his seven years in the NFL and helped bring his hometown team its first Super Bowl in franchise history.
From playing his high school ball 45 minutes south of Seattle, to becoming one of the greatest receivers to don the purple and gold, to bringing home a Super Bowl to his home state, Kearse is regarded as a local legend in the Seattle community, and rightfully so.
The following day, running back Myles Gaskin paid a visit to fall camp. The Huskies' all-time leading rusher posed for a picture with Jedd Fisch following Wednesday's practice. In his four years in Seattle, Gaskin put himself in the conversation as the greatest Husky running back of all time, rushing for over 1,000 yards in all four seasons while helping Washington make the College Football Playoff in 2016.

A 55-year-old former HVAC company owner spent 22 years building his business before selling it for $3.5 million after taxes and fees. Less than a month later, his brother asked where his "family share" was.
The brother had never worked for the company or put money into it. Still, he expected a six-figure payout. When the former business owner said no, his brother stopped speaking to him.
With the money now sitting in his account, he decided not to make any big moves right away. Instead, he spread it across stocks, bonds, cash and commercial real estate, figuring there was no reason to replace one concentrated bet with another.

MASON, Ohio (AP) — Elena Rybakina stopped playing during the first set of her quarterfinal match against Iga Swiatek at the Cincinnati Open on Thursday night.
With the No. 2-ranked Rybakina serving at 1-4, 40-40, she took a medical timeout to have trainers address her left ankle area.
Rybakina appeared to injure herself during the previous point. After several minutes, she returned to the court but retired from the match after attempting one serve.
Rybakina lost to Swiatek in the semifinals in Cincinnati last year.
With top seed Aryna Sabalenka losing Thursday night to Sara Bejlik, the 27-year-old Rybakina could have risen to No. 1 in the rankings by reaching the final.

Liverpool have made a clear call on James McConnell, and it matters more than it might first appear. A loan to Preston North End was lined up, a deal was in place, regular football had effectively been mapped out, and then the club stopped it. That is not administrative drift. It is a football decision.
According to Lewis Steele for the Daily Mail, Liverpool have "pulled the plug" on the move after Andoni Iraola decided McConnell is part of his plans. The key detail here is simple, McConnell forced the issue on the pitch and in training. If a manager changes course late in the window, it usually means the player has done something tangible, not cosmetic.
This also comes at a moment when Liverpool's midfield is shifting. Curtis Jones is heading towards Inter Milan in a £30m move, ending a long ***** ociation with his boyhood club. That departure alters the internal arithmetic. Minutes open up, squad roles change, and players on the edge of the first-team picture suddenly move closer to the centre.

McConnell is 21, homegrown, tactically reliable and already familiar with senior demands at Liverpool. He featured in four pre-season matches and started the closed-doors game against Como, playing an hour. That is relevant because coaches do not hand those minutes out for sentiment. They use them to test trust, positioning and decision-making.

The West Jersey Football League's United Division provides an opportunity for some of the 96-team leagues smallest teams to re-establish their programs against similar competition.
After the new United's six teams won a total of six games last fall, the coming two-year cycle should help these programs rise back to respectability.
Gloucester Catholic (0-10, 0-6 Royal) went winless last fall in the WJFL Royal but saw improvement as the season wore on. After scoring just two touchdowns in its first six games, the Rams scored eight touchdowns in their next three games.
For the Rams' non-United schedule, a Sept. 10 game against West Windsor-Plainsboro is a good opportunity to gauge the team's improvement this fall.
Haddon Township (2-8, 2-4 Royal) stopped a four-game skid to start last season with back-to-back impressive wins over Mastery Camden and Gloucester Catholic in WJFL Royal play. The Hawks then proceeded to drop its final four contests to end the season.

The US private credit market, valued at over $2 trillion, is flashing stress signals not seen since 2017, raising the question of what deteriorating loans could mean for Bitcoin.
The connection runs through liquidity and risk sentiment rather than any direct exposure between the two markets.
Non-accrual loans are credits in which the borrower has stopped making payments or in which default is likely. That metric just hit a multi-year high.
The Financial Times reported the figures, based on Solve data. Non-accrual loans reached a median of 2.8% of cost across the twenty largest listed US Business Development Companies during the second quarter.
That level compares with late March, when the same measure sat near 2%. It marks the highest reading in nearly a decade, comparable to stress triggered by the 2017 oil price collapse.

The Yankees, on the strength of Trent Grisham, pulled out a 3-1 win over the Orioles on Tuesday night.
But the game could have been very different if not for ABS.
In the second inning with the game still scoreless, the Orioles loaded the bases thanks in large part to a fielding error by Jazz Chisholm Jr. after the second base umpire screened him on a groundball. What could have been an inning-ending doubleplay turned into a massive jam for Carlos Rodon and the Yankees.
Rodon would wind up striking out Carlos Narvaez before Jackson Holliday stepped into the batter's box with two outs. After Rodon got ahead 0-2, the southpaw threw a fastball away and a bit high. Holliday didn't bite, but Austin Wells hopped up to head into the dugout but stopped once he realized homeplate umpire Will Little didn't ring up the young Orioles infielder.
After a few seconds, ABS confirmed that it was a strike and the Yankees escaped.

On August 6, Corvus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CRVS) held its second-quarter 2026 earnings call, and the story was almost entirely about one molecule. Soquelitinib, the company's oral ITK inhibitor, is now being tested across five different diseases at once, from a rare blood cancer to asthma. That kind of breadth from a single-asset biotech is either a sign of real conviction in the science or a company spreading itself thin before it has proven anything. The quarter's numbers and trial updates offer evidence for both readings.
The clearest bright spot is atopic dermatitis. In the highest-dose cohort of a Phase 1 trial, presented at the Society for Investigative Dermatology meeting, 75% of soquelitinib patients hit EASI-75 after 8 weeks of 200 milligram twice-daily dosing, versus 20% of patients on placebo. A quarter of treated patients reached EASI-90, and a third achieved clear or almost-clear skin, outcomes no placebo patient matched. Management also pointed to something more unusual: the benefit persisted after dosing stopped, without the rebound seen with other drugs in the class.
Corvus is carrying that data into a roughly 200-patient Phase 2 trial, called SEERA-1, with enrollment set to finish in early 2027 and results due the following quarter. The company's finances give it room to run. It ended the quarter with $215 million in cash and marketable securities, up from $56.8 million at the end of 2025, largely thanks to $189 million raised in a Q1 follow-on offering, enough to fund operations into the second quarter of 2028.
That cash cushion exists because Corvus is spending a lot more than it used to. R&D costs jumped to $16 million in the quarter from $7.9 million a year earlier, and the net loss more than doubled to $18 million from $8 million, driven by higher trial costs and added headcount tied to soquelitinib. The company remains a one-drug story in practice, and its most advanced program, a Phase 3 trial in relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma, will not offer a public readout soon.
An independent committee is expected to run a futility ***** ysis around the first quarter of 2027, with no data released publicly at that time. Much of the atopic dermatitis story outside the US also runs through Angel Pharmaceuticals, a China-based partner in which Corvus just put another $5 million as part of a $13.5 million financing round. That trial's first cohort of 24 patients is not expected to finish enrolling until September, meaning part of the bull case still sits ahead of the company.

Dominant from the get-go, the Dodgers cruised through an 11-5 win over the Rockies. And fair or not, too many times this season, particularly as of late, it has felt as though this team didn't live up to the expectations of dominating a starting pitcher in a matchup they should handle. While the end product has been there, the underlying numbers suggest a complete mismatch for Tomoyuki Sugano against the Dodgers' offense, and that's precisely what transpired on the field.
The three straight groundouts to open the first were just the Dodgers' bats warming up before putting up seven runs past Sugano with long ***** from Max Muncy and Shohei Ohtani—the former obliterating a 461-foot home run into the second deck in right field, the latter taking Sugano deep in the big leagues for the fourth time in still a rather small sample size. Mookie Betts and Andy Pages each drove in one in the first three innings before Muncy turned the Dodgers' lead into a commanding one with a three-run shot in the third.
By the time Sugano left the mound, the Dodgers held a 7-1 lead and still had four innings to work with. Aiming to increase his tally of just one multi-homer game this season, which, interestingly enough, came in a Dodgers loss, Ohtani brought the power once again in the sixth. The Dodgers designated hitter got a middle-middle sweeper of his dreams and crushed it for a 452-foot home run, certainly not settling for any cheapies, as he would end the game with a team-high four hits.
It wouldn't have felt right for the Dodgers to do all of this slugging as a team and not have Freddie Freeman in on the action. The veteran first baseman, who came into this game with a .240 SLG in August, without an extra-base hit since the end of July, finally broke through with a classic double down the opposite field line in the sixth—one of a couple of two-baggers he'd hit in this lopsided win.
Traditionally in Coors, it's hard to feel safe, but the same level of dominance displayed offensively could also be seen on the mound. Battling himself more than the Rockies hitters, it seemed, Blake Snell only got into trouble for a brief moment when the Rockies stopped going outside the zone in the third.

Dolly Parton shared in a video why she missed the big opening of a new ride at her beloved Dollywood. The 80-year-old country music legend was supposed to be at the Aug. 14 opening of NightFlight Expedition in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. But she ended up sending fans a video from her home in Nashville instead. The reason was that her doctor told her to stay put after she experienced dizziness and dehydration.
Parton made the best of the situation, appearing in the recorded video with a pair of ***** erfly wings flapping behind her as she shared her health update. "I've told you before, all my fans, that I've had a few little health issues and sometimes I get a little dizzy and I get dehydrated. And I'm dehydrated," she said, according to fan footage shared online.
She then explained that her Nashville doctor wasn't taking any chances with the 200-mile trip to Dollywood. She said, "My Nashville doctor has kind of clipped my wings, saying, 'You ain't traveling this week.'" Then she added, "So I guess if your doctor tells you, 'You ain't traveling this week,' you ain't traveling this week."
The singer also gave fans some reassuring news, saying that "all is going well on the medical end of things." Staying home, however, does not mean she has stopped working. Parton said she is still busy with projects including her SongTeller Hotel, Life of Many Colors Museum and her upcoming Broadway show, Dolly: A True Original Musical.
She also made sure to celebrate the new Dollywood attraction. In the video, she shared her excitement for NightFlight Expedition and told fans she would see them "down the road."

An independent committee is expected to run a futility ******* ysis around the first quarter of 2027, with no data released publicly at that time. Much of the atopic dermatitis story outside the US also runs through Angel Pharmaceuticals, a China-based partner in which Corvus just put another $5 million as part of a $13.5 million financing round. That trial's first cohort of 24 patients is not expected to finish enrolling until September, meaning part of the bull case still sits ahead of the company.

The Florida State Seminoles had an impressive month of June with eight commitments gained in their 2027 recruiting class. However, just before that, on May 31, they lost four-star safety Mekhi Williams as he decommitted and then pledged to the Wisconsin Badgers.
Shortly after Williams left the program, he mentioned that he didn't want to completely close the door on FSU after he attended a 7-on-7 camp in Tallahassee in June. Per Zach Blostein of 247Sports, the Seminoles will do the same, as their pursuit of him hasn't stopped.
Florida State is still making an effort with Ruskin (Fla.) Lennard four-star safety Mekhi Williams, who flipped from the Seminoles to Wisconsin over the summer. Williams, however, says he is locked in with the Badgers and does not currently intend to take any other visits this fall.
Williams is the nation's No. 219 overall recruit and the No. 18 safety according to 247Sports composite rankings. He's ranked as the No. 24 prospect in the state of Florida as well.
FSU was able to add four-star Ta'Shawn Poole and shut down the recruitment of three-star Jemari Foreman at the safety spot. Plus, they added four-star athlete Za'Kari Johnson, who will play in the secondary as well. That clearly hasn't wavered them on Williams, and it'll be a situation to keep an eye on, especially if Florida State has a successful season.

Rihanna has taken her children around the world, from luxury destinations to some of entertainment's biggest events. However, one of her most meaningful family trips happened on the streets where her own story began.
The superstar recently returned to Barbados with her three children, RZA Athelston Mayers, Riot Rose Mayers and Rocki Irish Mayers, giving them a glimpse of the island that shaped her long before she became one of the most famous women on the planet.
During the family getaway, Rihanna was seen taking her children on a bus tour around Barbados, embracing a slower, more local experience rather than a typical celebrity vacation. The family also stopped at a local coconut vendor, where Rihanna ordered fresh coconuts for her children while enjoying a simple island moment.
For fans, the scene was striking because it showed a side of Rihanna rarely seen publicly: not the global superstar performing for thousands, but a mother sharing her childhood with her children.
The most emotional part of the trip came when Rihanna returned to where it all began: Westbury New Road in Bridgetown.

Dorit Kemsley has scored a temporary win in her latest court fight with estranged husband PK Kemsley. Their divorce has become increasingly tense as the former couple battles over money and their family home.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star opposed PK's emergency effort to put the property on the market. For now, the court is not ordering an immediate sale.
A judge declined PK's emergency request to list the six-bedroom, 10-bathroom Los Angeles home, TMZ reported. Dorit's attorney, Samantha Spector, argued that the situation did not require emergency action. The court agreed that the sale did not need to move forward immediately. The issue is not over. The court will revisit the dispute at another hearing on Aug. 26.
PK has argued that the home faces foreclosure and needs to be sold before the former couple loses more equity. He has also said that he covered the bills for months after moving out. According to PK, he later stopped paying after getting his own home.
Dorit has challenged that account. She says PK has enough money to bring the overdue payments current. She also argues that he should continue covering household costs because he has not been paying formal child or spousal support.

Panettiere was a prolific actor who rose to fame as a star on NBC's "Heroes" and scored a crossover TV-music hit with the series "Nashville." She was open about her struggles with alcohol and post-partum depression and stopped acting for several years, returning for "Scream VI" in 2023.
Among those paying tribute to Panettiere on Monday were fellow actors Viola Davis, Melissa Barrera and Bethany Joy Lenz, and podcaster Jay Shetty.
"What an amazing talent you were....so gifted. Julius and I loved working with you....an old, wise soul with such a deep heart. I wish the world had more time with you because I had a burning curiosity about who you were becoming. I saw this beautiful Phoenix rising from the ashes. Your tests became your testimony, and your testimony became your legacy. You will be remembered. Rest well, Hayden. Sending healing prayers to your family, your daughter, and all who loved you. May they always speak your name..." via Instagram.
"I dont understand how this is real. Everything seemed to be turning around. She was coming BACK to life, wasn't she? It's too young and there's still so much more life. And her daughter…. Hayden, you are surround by love. I'm sorry for every moment I didn't reach out or check in. This can't be real." — via Instagram.

Southampton's first Championship game since the Spygate scandal ended in a 2-1 loss at Watford on Sunday.
Canadian striker Cyle Larin pulled a goal back for the Saints in the second period but they could not find an equaliser.
We asked for Southampton fans to send us their views on the performance and result and here is what some of them had to say:
Steve - Ineffective sideways and backwards keep-possession play instead of positive attacking play. When are Saints going to learn?
George - Started well but then could not hold them off. Both goals should have been stopped. Jack Stephens has to look at himself for both goals. Much better second half but we still need a top striker. I wish Tonda Eckert would give Edozie a better run as he is very skilful.

Just weeks before her death, Hayden Panettiere gave an emotional interview about her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya.
Speaking to parenting magazine Momé in July for a cover story ***** led "Hayden Panettiere Never Stopped Choosing Her Daughter," the actress opened up about the near-death birth, postpartum depression and her painful decision to give her ex-fiancé, Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, custody of their daughter.
The pair welcomed Kaya in December 2014. The birth was traumatic and near-fatal, with Panettiere requiring seven blood transfusions and three hours of surgery. While in recovery, the actress said she "felt nothing" when gazing at her baby. "I had always heard that moms feel an instant rush of love, but I didn't — and I had no idea why," she said.
More: Actress Hayden Panettiere dies at 36
To combat the emptiness and shame, Panettiere told the magazine that she turned to alcohol, which "ultimately ended up leading to an alcohol dependency." What came next, she said, was the hardest decision of her life: giving Klitschko, who was living in Ukraine, custody of their daughter, who she called her "mini me."

David Davidov said he stood for 20 seconds in shocked silence when a longtime customers Facetimed him this summer to show off a once-in-a-lifetime prize that had come from his strip-mall store west of Boca Raton.
It was a unicorn in the world of baseball trading cards: a 2026 Shohei Ohtani Topps Chrome card, the only one made.
It features the Los Angeles Dodger's signature in both English and Kanji, characters used in the ***** anese writing system. In the center of the card there are two game worn Major League Baseball logo jersey patches marking Ohtani's consecutive National League MVP awards in 2024 and 2025.
It's become one of the world's most expensive sports cards. The person who scored the card later sold it to the online network Secure Collectibles for $11 million.
People come to Boca Sports Cards all the time to buy a pack of baseball cards, which can range from $7 to $500, but since the unicorn emerged, Davidov said his business, in the Sandalwood Plaza shopping center along State Road 7, has welcomed a revolving door of new and old customers and the phone hasn't stopped ringing as others hope to capture some magic of their own.

TUCSON — Max Meylor got his payback. And it came at the expense of his former team.
Leading the Rattlers with big-play throws and great escapes, Meylor carried the Rattlers to a 62-51 victory over the Green Bay Blizzard on Sunday, Aug. 16, before a crowd of 4,900 at Tucson Arena for the Indoor Football League national championship.
It was the Rattlers' third IFL ***** le since entering the league in 2017 and their eighth as a franchise. The first five came in the Arena Football League. The Rattlers' past six ***** les have come under coach Kevin Guy.
Last year, when Meylor was the league's MVP for Green Bay, he came up 1 yard short of a championship, stuffed just short of the goal line as time expired in a 64-61 loss to the Vegas Knight Hawks at the same arena.
This time, the Blizzard stopped Meylor only once — in the first series of the game.

Guadalajara made the most of the superiority it showed on the field at TSM and claimed a 1-0 win over Santos on Matchday 4 of the 2026 Apertura. With this victory, the Rojiblancos picked up 3 important points that allow them to keep climbing the standings.
True to their style, the Rebaño Sagrado took the field intending to impose their conditions from the opening whistle. Gabriel Milito's side pushed their lines forward to create danger in the final third. Despite going into halftime scoreless, Guadalajara maintained its intensity and never stopped looking for the opener.
That persistence paid off in the second half. Santiago Sandoval made a great play inside the box, where he feinted and shook off his marker to draw a foul that led to a penalty. Ricardo Marín took responsibility from the spot and converted to score the goal that gave Guadalajara the win in the Comarca Lagunera.
Guadalajara's next match will be at home. On Saturday, August 22, they will host Tijuana at AKRON Stadium, where they will look to earn another win in front of the entire Nación Rojiblanca.

ARDMORE, Pa. — Jack Whaley of England used double gloves, needed an umbrella, was stung by a wasp at rainy Merion Golf Club and still pushed through the inconveniences to cap a tremendous tournament and hold off Jay Leng Jr. to win the U.S. Amateur on Sunday.
Whaley should keep the rain jacket.
The 22-year-old English amateur golfer from Doncaster gets to soak up the spoils that come with winning amateur golf's greatest prize.
With skies finally clear on the rain-slogged course, Whaley sank his final putt to clinch the 36-hole final, 4 and 3, and hugged it out with his caddie — his father, Andy. Whaley's mother ran out to join them for a family embrace while Andy gripped the famed wicker basket flagstick.
Whaley broke down in tears as he held the Havemeyer Trophy and dedicated the win to his father, who never stopped encouraging his son to play, even as he kept missing cuts as a teenager.

Louis Foster chances for his first IndyCar Series win came to an abrupt end near the halfway point of the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham.
After starting on pole, the 23-year-old Briton was out front and in control of the 90-lap race. An untimely caution during the pit cycle caught Foster before he had stopped, while several rivals had already pitted, dropping him down the order after he came in from the lead on lap 33.
Two further cautions over the next seven laps set up a charge from Foster on the lap-40 restart. He propelled by the likes of reigning and four-time IndyCar champion Alex Palou, Will Power, and Graham Rahal, among others, to move from eighth to fourth.
Summing up his run at the front of the field for IndyCar's first race in Markham, Foster spoke to the fine margins at this track and reiterated Mick Schumacher's concern about the concrete walls themselves.
"I'll survive," Foster said. "I'll be all right. Yeah, just frustrating.It was so fast. But yeah, I went for a move on Marcus and thought I left enough room to the wall. I mean, I got halfway around it almost, but because we don't have these radius walls here, we just catch the edges.

Cristiano Ronaldo is inching closer to retirement.
"This is probably my last year of football, and I want to leave a spectacular legacy," Ronaldo, 41, told Vogue in an interview published on Sunday.
Ronaldo, whose Al Nassr contract runs until June 2027, previously has stopped short of giving a timeline of when he'd be ready to call it a career.
Ronaldo announced his retirement from World Cup play but did not close the door on making future appearances for the national team. He is Portugal's all-time leader in caps (233) and goals (146) and in 2026 joined Argentina's Lionel Messi as the only men to appear in six World Cups.
Ronaldo scored three goals in the 2026 World Cup but was the subject of criticism from disappointed fans.

Earlier this week, UCLA men's basketball alumnus Russell Westbrook retired from the NBA after 18 remarkable seasons spent with seven franchises.
Since the Bruins legend called it a career, many professionals from across the sports world have reacted to the news, including fellow UCLA alumnus Darren Collison. The 11-year NBA veteran recalled on NBA TV's "The **** ociation" when Westbrook earned Kobe Bryant's respect while he was still a student in Westwood.
"We obviously played a lot of the NBA guys throughout the offseason when they came to UCLA and the late Kobe Bryant was one of them. I remember Kobe Bryant, he just pretty much had it with everybody on the court during a pickup game, but there was this one particular moment when Russ was guarding him," Collison recalled. "Russ kind of made it a little bit more difficult and Russ was still in college. I'm not saying he stopped him by any means necessary. We know how great of a scorer he was, but he gained Kobe's respect.
"Russ became one of the premier dominant defenders throughout that whole college season and I think that was the start of it. When you see Russ guarding Kobe throughout the pickup game, you're like, 'OK, whoa, I think we got something.' We have one of the best defenders even on our team."
Based on this story and many others, it's clear that Westbrook has always had that "dawg" in him from a very young age.

SEOUL, Aug 15 (Reuters) - South Korean President Lee Jae Myung called on Saturday for talks with North Korea to pursue peaceful coexistence, saying Seoul would seek safeguards to prevent conflict and noting the need to replace the peninsula's armistice with a "peace regime".
In a speech marking the anniversary of Korea's liberation from ******* anese colonial rule, Lee said the two Koreas should hold a sit-down for coexistence.
He urged dialogue between North Korea and concerned parties to end the 1950-53 Korean War, which was stopped by a ceasefire, not a peace treaty, and said discussions could also explore effective measures to curb Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities.
Lee said Seoul would take preemptive and sustained steps to ease tensions and build layered safeguards to contain escalation.
Lee's call largely builds on his pledge last year to respect North Korea's system and seek peaceful coexistence with Pyongyang.

Jalin Turner is not getting paid by the hour because he needed just 39 seconds to lay waste to Kaue Fernandes at UFC 330 on Saturday.
After a brief retirement, Turner has returned to action with a renewed purpose and he showed that he's still one of the top lightweights in the world with his latest performance.
The fight ended after Fernandes threw an ill-advised spinning back fist and Turner quickly countered with a punch of his own followed by an uppercut that blasted the Brazilian and sent him down to the canvas. Turner continued unloading shots until referee Jason Herzog saw enough as Fernandes fell unconscious with the fight being stopped at 39 seconds into the opening round.
Turner has now won two fights in a row — both by knockout — and he's looking to get back into the lightweight top 15 now that he's sticking around.
"I would like to see a number next to my name again," Turner said after his win. "I'd like to see it again."
