that the regime is working on new ICBMs.

South Korea's defense ministry says it's closely monitoring the movements with the U.S. ...and

Seoul's foreign ministry also said that it will be keeping a close watch.

The Washington Post reported on Monday, quoting unnamed U.S. intelligence officials,... that

North Korea is building one or two ICBMs at its Sanumdong factory on the outskirts of

Pyongyang.

The factory has produced two of North Korea's ICBMs, including the Hwasong-15 -- tested

in November last year -- which can travel up to 13-thousand kilometers and could theoretically

hit the mainland U.S..

On Tuesday, there was a ceremony held in Glendale, California... just outside Los Angeles...

to mark five years since a statue was erected to honor the Korean victims of Japan's sexual

slavery during World War 2.

The statue was the first such memorial set up on America's west coast.

The Korean American Forum of California said people gathered at the Glendale monument to

recall the meaning of the statue dedicated to the so-called "comfort women"... and reflect

on a dark period in Korea's history.

The statue has faced strong opposition from Japan, which has tried to bring it down through

letters, visits by Japanese politicians and a lawsuit that went to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Justice Ministry to strengthen filtering processes of refugee applicants - Duration: 0:46.

South Korea's Justice Minister says the country will work to revise its refugee law and strengthen

the refugee applicant screening process.

He says the safety of the Korean people comes first.

As part of the stricter screening process, the ministry says it will work to filter out

so-called "fake refugees," who come to Korea for jobs.

To cut the long evaluation period for refugee applicants,... the South Korean government

will also set up a professional and independent institution that will evaluate applications,...

and will add staff to the screening process.

The government said it will fulfill its international duty, noting that the country's refugee acceptance

rate currently falls far behind the average of other signatories of the UN refugee convention.

Seoul's vice unification minister in N. Korea to check family reunion venue - Duration: 0:44.

South Korea's vice minister of unification, Chun Hae-sung, is heading north of the border

today... to visit Mount Kumgang... where reunions will be held this month for families separated

by the Korean War.

The vice minister will be checking progress on the renovations underway at the reunion

venue.

Mount Kumgang used to be a destination for tourists from South Korea until one of them

was shot dead ten years ago.

The North wants the tours to resume and yesterday urged Seoul to work towards that.

But the unification ministry says Chun's visit has nothing to do with tourism.

Meanwhile, the two Koreas are deciding which of their citizens will attend the family reunions.

They're scheduled to exchange the final lists this Saturday.

Two Koreas reach mutual understanding in making DMZ into peace zone; joint recovery - Duration: 2:46.

Generals from South and North Korea met Tuesday to look at ways to reduce tensions on the

border.

This was something the leaders agreed to do at the inter-Korean summit back in April.

Both sides say the talks went well.

And they reached some agreements in principle... to draw down some forces at the joint security

area.

Park Ji-won reports.

The two Koreas reached a mutual understanding on the principle of disarming the Joint Security

Area in the DMZ,... the joint recovery of war remains in the DMZ,... and the withdrawal

of troops at some guard posts as a pilot program.

South Korea's defense ministry explained the mutual understanding is sort of a broad sense

of agreements in principle,... and the two sides will work on specific and detailed implementations

in later talks.

Tuesday's general-level inter-Korean military talks, started 10 a.m.,.... and ended at around

six thirty p.m Korea time at the border village of Panmunjom.

The two sides didn't adopt a joint communique,... yet both sides said that the talks had gone

well.

"I think our talks were done in an earnest and sincere manner, as the items on the agenda

are all very important, and can become substantial measures for easing inter-Korean military

tensions and building trust.

I think the two Koreas' militaries can play a significant role in establishing perpetual

peace on the Korean peninsula, if the two sides continue to study and work on implementing

the agenda items."

"We fully understood the South's views, and I think our views have been fully delivered

to the South.

In that regard, the talks were very productive and brought joy to people in both Koreas.

I think, if we continue to have this attitude and stance of caring and helping each other,

many problems will be solved.

All items we discussed have historical significance in inter-Korean relations."

During the talks, the South Korean delegation also invited the North to this year's Seoul

Defense Dialogue,... scheduled to take place from September 12th to September 14th in Seoul.

This is the second time this year the delegations meet for talks on Tuesday, with the first

meeting taking place in mid-June.

At that time, the two sides agreed to restore military communication channels on the western

and eastern sides of the Peninsula,... with the western military communication channel

being completely restored earlier this month.

"For now, the two sides say they do not have any specific plans for another round of military

talks in the near future.

Foreign, defense ministers of Japan, Russia meet to discuss issues of common interest - Duration: 2:00.

Dialogue, meanwhile, between Japan and Russia.

They held their third "two-plus-two" meeting on Tuesday... involving their ministers of

foreign affairs and defense.

They focused on resolving the territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands, which Russia

claimed at the end of World War 2.

On North Korea, both sides agreed that the regime needs to get rid of its nuclear weapons.

Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

The foreign and defense ministers of Japan and Russia met in Moscow on Tuesday to discuss

issues of common interest.

"Russia is an important neighbor, and we hope that by maintaining dialogue and cooperation,

it will lead to the moment when hazardous situations and tensions don't arise."

Japan and Russia discussed using economic cooperation to resolve an ongoing dispute

over four Pacific islands which Russia calls the Kuril Islands, and Japan calls the Northern

Territories.

"The business venture by Japanese entrepreneurs, with the participation of Russian partners,

will take place within the framework of the preparation of joint economic projects on

the Southern Kuril Islands on August 16th-20th this year.

Following the results of this business venture we will arrange the dates of the next round

of consultations on joint economic projects within the framework of work on the peace

treaty."

During the talks,...

Tokyo also explained that the Japanese missile defense system including the Aegis Ashore

is not a threat to Russia, but purely a defensive system.

Japan and Russia also touched upon the North Korean nuclear issue,... agreeing to cooperate

closely to achieve their common goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

The possibility of a summit meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe in September on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok

was also discussed,... and the two countries agreed on an annual ministerial-level "two-plus-two"

meeting.

Breaking all-time heat records _ 080118 - Duration: 2:03.

Today we're looking at the hottest day in Seoul since 1994.

Forecasts are saying it'll get up to 39 degrees Celsius -- that's over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit.

These temperatures can actually be dangerous.

Our weather caster Lee Jee-hyun is at Gwanghwamun Square in downtown Seoul, braving the heat

for us.

Jee-hyun, I see you standing out in the sunshine there.

You must be burning up.

You can also see the city's a little emptier this week because it's vacation season, and

it's clear why people are trying to get away.

How's the day shaping up in terms of the heat?

Hello there again Devin.

You are right, there is definately less traffic and less people so we can avoid the crowds

in Seoul but what you CAN'T avoid is the searing heat.

Burning sunshine is shining down on us and it's hard to open your eyes without sunglasses,

and without sunblock you could get sunburn in just a few minutes so be prepared

Avoid being outdoors when the sun is its strongest from 10 am to 5 pm.

Seoul will have a high of 39 degrees Celsius this afternoon.

In fact it's forecast to be the hottest day in the 111 years since weather recordings

started back in 1907.

Not only Seoul but most parts of the country will see boiling heat, and you might want

to add a couple of degrees to the actual digits due to the blazing sunshine and high humidity.

Heatwave warnings are in place across much of the country, uncomfortable heat lingers

through the night... causing people to wake up at least couple of times to turn the AC

on...and tonight will be pretty hot as well.

Highs in Seoul and Chuncheon will be at 39 degrees Celsius, Daegu and Gwangju will top

out at 38 degrees.

Many are asking me if the heat will ease up, sorry but the heat will continue to bake the

nation for a while longer.

Drink plenty of water, take it easy, and wear sunglasses and sunblock to protect yourself

from the strong sunshine.

That's all for now, but I will have more updates on our later newscast..

Korea's exports surpass US$ 50 bil. for the fifth straight month in July - Duration: 2:21.

The South Korean government has released the figures for the country's exports in July,...

and it was the fifth straight month they surpassed 50 billion U.S. dollars.

The data show a recovery from the dismal figures recorded in June,... so this could be a sign

of strength in the local economy.

Kim Ji-yeon reports.

Korea's exports surpassed the 50-billion U.S. dollar mark in July... recovering from a dip

recorded last month.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said Wednesday the country's exports recorded

nearly 52-billion U.S. dollars in July... an increase of more than 6-percent from the

same period last year.

This is a big improvement compared to June... when exports dipped by nearly zero-point-two

percent on-year.

Ten of the 13 main export items, saw increases... including petroleum and petrochemical goods,

steel, semiconductors, machinery and computers.

Semiconductor exports in particular increased for the third consecutive month in July surpassing

10-billion dollars,... the fourth highest monthly record ever.

Exports of computers also increased for the 16th straight month in July.

Meanwhile, exports in shipbuilding dropped by a staggering 73-point-4-percent followed

by home appliances which dropped by nearly 16-percent on-year last month.

Auto exports dipped for the sixth straight month in July, falling by 13-and-a-half percent

from July last year... as shipments to Korea's biggest auto export market the U.S. slumped

following U.S. import restrictions.

Exports to China and South American countries increased the most, growing by around 27-percent

and 23-percent, respectively.

Exports to the ASEAN region and India dipped due to increased local competition.

Imports also increased by more than 16-percent in July on-year to record nearly 45-billion

dollars.

The trade surplus for July was more than seven-billion dollars, it was the 78th straight month it

has been in surplus.

The ministry cites favorable economic conditions in the global manufacturing sector, increases

in gross domestic product among major economies and increases in unit prices of main exporting

goods for the strong export figures.

How 52-hour working week system changed S. Koreans' lives since July 1st - Duration: 2:19.

It's been one month since the South Korean government started enforcing a law limiting

the work week to 52 hours.

It used to be 68.

It doesn't apply to all companies yet -- only those, public and private, with 300 or more

employees.

There are a lot of opinions about what effect, if any that it's had both on businesses and

their employees.

Our Ko Roon-hee takes a closer look.

Here at a large cable manufacturing company in Anyang, south of Seoul, employees get ready

to leave work every day at 5:20 p.m.

In big companies, some employees like Lee Seoung-o are making the most of the 52-hour

working week.

"Now that I have more time, I looked for new activities I can do after work.

Recently, I became interested in table tennis."

The biggest change for people who work at big firms is a better work-life balance.

This has also helped leisure businesses... which are benefiting from an increase of customers.

"I've seen more office workers coming in after work since July.

I think it's because they can leave work earlier.

I've seen four to five new people coming in to play per week."

Although the new system might have helped big companies and their workers... its quite

a different story for smaller firms.

"Many think companies with fewer than 300 people are not affected by the reduced working

hours, but small and medium sized businesses say they face their own hardships."

"Many large companies use small businesses as subcontractors.

So SMEs are directly affected.

For instance, some small businesses experienced a decrease in workload due to fewer orders

in July.

I think this is because many big companies are reluctant to jump into new industries

after the reduced working hours."

Meanwhile, for small businesses preparing to implement the new work system in the coming

years... a professor of sociology says the government's role is crucial.

"For small and medium sized businesses, it is difficult to keep track of when their employees

show up or leave work.

The government should provide consulting or funding in regards to this system."

S. Korean PM urges energy ministry to reduce power bills amid heatwave - Duration: 2:00.

With air conditioners blasting this summer, electricity bills are soaring,... a big worry

for a lot of people.

Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon has called on the government to try and find ways to bring

those bills down.

He's also reminding people to take health precautions -- this heat is dangerous -- and

he wants local governments to help vulnerable people like senior citizens.

Cha Sang-mi reports.

The South Korean government is continuing its efforts to respond to the extreme heatwave,

which is forecast to continue 'til the end of August.

With the air-conditioning on, the heat's caused electricity bills to soar.

And in Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon called on the energy ministry

to find ways to ease people's concerns on that front.

"The longer the heatwave continues, the longer we spend with the air-conditioning on, which

leads to worringly high electricity bills.

This heatwave qualifies as a natural disaster, so I urge the Ministry of Trade, Industry

and Energy to look into ways to show some consideration to the people when it comes

to the cost of electricity."

Prime Minister Lee also asked the ministry to make sure to stabilize electricity supplies

this week when power demand will most likely surge at the end of vacation season.

Lee said despite multiple measures the government has been taking, the heat has claimed 27 lives,

and both farmers and consumers are suffering from the loss of livestock and crops.

"The government is working on changing the law so that the heatwave is regarded as a

natural disaster, but we ought to respond to the heatwave even before the law is passed."

He urged people to take extra care of themselves in the heat -- especially senior citizens

who don't have air conditioning -- also farmers, fishermen and builders who work outside in

the heat.

Local governments, he said, should help.

On Tuesday, the Prime Minister himself paid a visit to a family on a livestock farm in

Gyeonggi-do Province to console them and to check on the situation on the ground.

Northeast Asia Peace Festival: gateway to S. Korea-China economic cooperation - Duration: 2:57.

Over the weekend, Harbin, China... hosted the 2018 Northeast Asia Peace Festival.

This year the highlight was a competition for amateur models from four different countries.

According to the organizers it was more than just about cultural exchange.

Hong Yoo takes us to the renowned 'Ice City'.

Thousands of people have gathered in Harbin to watch a contest for models from four countries

-- South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia.

With pose after pose, they showed off their individual beauty as representatives of their

countries.

From July 27th to 30th, the Northeast Asia Economic Cooperation Committee held the 2018

Northeast Asia Peace Festival.

By displaying their countries' traditional clothes, the models were part of an international

cultural exchange, and a big one.

As a whole, the festival attracted around 300,000 visitors.

"I'm not looking for a special prize out of this competition.

I'm happy just to have participated in it and made new friends."

"To be honest, the language barrier made it hard to communicate with the other models,

but the fact that we all have the same goal helped us bond quickly."

The festival was about more than the model contest.

It also opened up the doors to South Korean mid-size companies to expand their business

to China.

A special booth was set up for them to let people know what they're doing.

This time there were two South Korean companies taking part.

One of them was a cosmetics brand,... riding the wave of Korean beauty products that've

become famous all over the world.

"The cosmetics market in South Korea is pretty limited, so we wanted to expand our business

to the global market.

And through this festival we were able to do that by introducing our products to many

people here."

The South Korean committee that helped organize the event thinks its cultural exchanges will

help provide job opportunities to young people and help export Korean goods to China.

"It's usually hard for Korean brands to get a spot in a Chinese department store, and

when they do, they don't tend to last long.

So we are helping South Korean enterprises to get their products into the stores here."

The committee chairman added that North Korea also wants to be part of the Northeast Asia

Economic Cooperation Committee, and the process is underway.

He commented that the North's participation would allow South Korean enterprises to expand

their business in Asia, using the easier land route.

This festival, which aims at boosting South Korea and China's cooperation in culture,

economics and other fields, will next take place in Seoul in 2019.

And hopefully, the participation of North Korea next year will further strengthen regional

ties.

Manufacturing production capacity falls at steepest rate in Q2 - Duration: 0:42.

South Korea's capacity in manufacturing capacity fell in the second quarter by the steepest

rate since 1971, when data was first compiled.

It was down 1-point-1 percent on-year.

The production capacity index measures maximum production capacity when labor, equipment

and workhours are used in full.

It had increased every quarter until the fourth quarter last year when it fell for the first

time, by one tenth of a percent.

It's continued to contract in the three consecutive quarters since then.

The index has fallen sharply in shipbuilding and autos in particular,... and semiconductor

production capacity has started to slow down because of falling investment.

Wilbur Ross likens U.S.-China trade spat to 'painful' start of a diet... while two countries seek - Duration: 2:02.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says the trade dispute with China is a lot like 'going

on a diet',... but he's still optimistic that the U.S. can cope.

Another round of U.S. tariffs is about to take effect, but the two sides are reportedly

looking to restart talks and defuse the conflict.

Lee Seung-jae has the details.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says the U.S. can deal with the pain of a trade dispute

with China because of the strength of the American economy.

Speaking at an event in Washington hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Monday,...

Ross says it makes more sense to take an "aggressive stance" toward China when the U.S. economy

is doing well,... citing an unemployment rate that's hovering around its lowest level since

2000.

The commerce secretary also compared the current trade dispute to the start of a 'diet',...

saying that "it's no fun in the beginning, maybe a little bit painful, but at the end

of the day you're kind of happy with the end result."

His comments are the latest sign that the Trump administration doesn't intend to back

down from the trade dispute with China,... which experts warn,... could undercut growth

in the world's two largest economies.

However, according to sources,... the two countries are trying to restart talks aimed

at avoiding a full-blown trade war.

They say that U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He are

having private talks,... as they look for ways to re-engage in negotiations.

They also cautioned that a specific timetable, the issues to be discussed and the format

for talks aren't finalized,... but added there was agreement among the principals that more

discussions need to be in place.

The next wave of U.S. tariffs is set to begin on Wednesday,... with a possibility of another

16-billion dollars of Chinese imports being slapped with tariffs.

However, the implementation of the tariffs could be delayed for weeks,... as the administration

works out the details of which products it will target.
