1. North Korea

North Korea's response to the latest round of sanctions -- this time from the UN -- was fiery but not completely unexpected. The regime said the US would "pay dearly," not just for the sanctions but for all other "crimes" against the country. The North Koreans also said they have no intention of negotiating over their nuke program , though Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US is open to dialogue "when the conditions are right." The sanctions, OK'd over the weekend, target the North's primary exports and could slash income from them by a third.

2. African votes

It's election day in Kenya , one of Africa's largest economies and a buffer of stability near Somali, Sudan and South Sudan. Incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta faces off against former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Lines at voting places were long, and an independent electoral commission said turnout looked "huge." Kenyatta promises to create 1.3 million jobs; Odinga vows to fight corruption.

4. Obamacare

Anthem had already announced it was pulling out of exchanges in Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin and much of California. But the news isn't all bad: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina says it's reducing its requested premium increase for next year to 14.1% (it originally had asked for a 22.9% hike) because the market in that state is becoming less volatile.
