Youtube daily report Jan 5 2017

It was the economy... last year... but for this year...

national security is front and center of the government's new year's policy briefing.

While the economy-related ministries are set to outline their plans today,... the foreign

and unification ministries have laid out plans to deal with North Korea to acting president

and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn.

Pressuring Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons program and targeting the regime's

most vulnerable points make up the main focus of their blueprints for 2017.

Connie Kim starts us off.

The main focus of South Korea's security policy for 2017 will be to continue pressuring North

Korea over its nuclear weapons program.

Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, the current acting president, was briefed on Wednesday

by the foreign affairs and unification ministries on their blueprints for the new year,... which

focus on cooperation with the nation's allies and targeting Pyongyang's weakest points in

order to bring about change.

"North Korea is trying to throw South Korea into chaos with its repeated provocations,

threats and peace offensive.

The government will stick to its North Korea policy of holding a vision for a peaceful

reunification and pressuring the North to give up its nuclear program.

At the same time, Seoul must garner international support for a reunified Korean peninsula."

South Korea will continue to limit North Korea's access to funds through an export cap on its

coal and minerals, as stated in the latest UN resolution, and seek to persuade other

nations to impose unilateral sanctions on the North.

Seoul will also work with the incoming Trump administration to maintain the current hardline

policy against North Korea.

Over the coming year, South Korea will also focus on targeting North Korea's abysmal human

rights record and seek ways to funnel information into the regime.

Seoul says it will bring up the issue of holding Kim Jong-un responsible for the regime's human

rights abuses and seek to shed more light on the awful conditions endured by North Korean

workers abroad.

These activities are expected to intensify this year when South Korea launches a planned

North Korean human rights foundation.

Reunification will be another focus for Seoul this year.

South Korea plans to work on reviewing the status of separated families, educating students

about reunification and holding commemorative events on dates of historical significance.

"With these plans as a guide, the administration is seeking to keep up the pressure on North

Korea while also laying a foundation for reunification.

Connie Kim, Arirang News."

S. Korea to launch special unit to strike at N. Korea's wartime leadership - Duration: 1:49.

South Korea's defense ministry has outlined its plan to shore up the country's capabilities

to better counter North Korean threats.

That includes the establishment of a special unit capable of striking Pyongyang's wartime

command structure.

Kim Hyun-bin with the details.

During a briefing for Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn on Wednesday,...

Defense Minister Han Min-koo said the military will focus this year on countering North Korea's

weapons of mass destruction including its nukes and missiles.

Han said that its military will set up a special infiltration brigade focused on paralyzing

Pyongyang's wartime command structure.

The minister also offered an update on the weapons grade plutonium and highly enriched

uranium that the North has in its nuclear arsenal.

Seoul estimates that Pyongyang holds some 40 kilograms of weapons grade plutonium, which

is capable of developing four to eight nuclear weapons.

Seoul also plans to speed up the planned implementation of South Korea's key weapons systems by a

couple of years to better counter the North.

"To better counter the threats posed by North Korea's weapons of mass destruction, we will

enhance the South Korea-U.S. extended deterrence policy as well as our three-stage plan, which

includes both retaliatory and defense methods."

The three-stage plan includes the Korean Air and Missile Defense system, the Kill Chain

pre-emptive strike system and the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation plan, which aims

to take out key military facilities in the North during an imminent threat.

Han also said that the deployment of the U.S. advanced missile defense system THAAD will

be installed as planned in the middle of the year.

"South Korea is also planning to expand its military cooperation with Japan to better

defend against the threats from North Korea.

Kim Hyun-bin, Arirang News."

Report: Dems target eight Trump nominees in bid to delay process, get picks to disclose more info. - Duration: 3:49.

Report: Dems target eight Trump nominees in bid to delay process, get picks to disclose

more info.

By Joseph Weber.

Senate Democrats reportedly plan to attack eight of Republican President-elect Donald

Trump�s Cabinet picks and stretch their confirmation process from days to perhaps

months, despite having essentially no chance of blocking their nominations.

The Democratic senators are vowing to make good on their vow unless the nominees start

disclosing personal financial information, according to The Washington Post.

Trump has made eight of 17 Cabinet picks, with four remaining.

The primary targets include Rex Tillerson for secretary of state; Alabama Sen. Jeff

Sessions for attorney general; South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney for the Office of Management

and Budget; Betsy DeVos as the new education secretary and Steve Mnuchin, the former Goldman

Sachs executive nominated to be treasury secretary.

�President-elect Trump is attempting to fill his rigged Cabinet with nominees that

� have made billions off the industries they�d been tasked with regulating,� incoming

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.

�If Republicans think they can quickly jam through a whole slate of nominees without

a fair hearing process, they�re sorely mistaken.�

Republicans who control the Senate and House plan to begin the confirmation hearings on

Trump�s Jan. 20 Inauguration Day.

Republicans have a 52-to-48 majority over Democrats in the Senate.

The nominees will get enough votes in the GOP-run Senate committees but would run into

delays when both parties cast final votes on the chamber floor, despite needing only

51 �yeahs.�

Democrats could use procedural moves to extend the debate on each of the nominees.

But they don�t have the power to use the filibuster to block the nominations, because

in the last Congress they changed the threshold on such filibusters from 60 to 51 votes.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and fellow Republicans don�t like the Democrats�

plan and argue they didn�t oppose outgoing Democratic President Obama�s nominations

when he took office in 2008.

�Republicans and Democrats worked together and expeditiously to carefully consider his

nominees,� McConnell spokesman David Popp told Fox News on Monday.

Popp points out that the Senate held hearings on multiple nominees before Obama was even

sworn in, confirmed seven of them on Day One and that nearly all of them were confirmed

within two weeks.

�Sen. Schumer and others approved wholeheartedly of this approach at the time,� Popp continued.

�So surely they won�t object to treating the incoming president�s nominees with the

same courtesy and seriousness.�

The others on the purported list of eight are Georgia GOP Rep. Tom Price, Trump�s

nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services; Andrew Puzder for labor secretary;

and Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt to run the EPA.

Those not on the purported list are Marine Gen. James N. Mattis for defense secretary;

South Carolina GOP Gov. Nikki Haley as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations; and former

Marine Gen. John Kelly run the Department of Homeland Security.
