    Hello and welcome to our viewers all across the globe.

    Title: President Park urges pardon recipients to help revive economy

       

    President Park Geun-hye has commuted the sentences of more than 49-hundred inmates most of whom were serving for non-violent crimes... in a grant of clemency ahead of Korea's National Liberation Day on Monday.

    Who made the list and who didn't? Our top office correspondent Song Ji-sun.

    President Park Geun-hye approved her third pardon since taking office.

    4-thousand 8-hundred and 76 people.. most of whom are model prisoners, people who committed petty crimes for survival... or businessmen from smaller companies... will have their sentences lifted.

    Among conglomerate chiefs, CJ Group chairman Lee Jay-hyun, who was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for tax evasion and embezzlement, was included as an exception, as he's been suffering from a genetic disease that affects his muscles.

    While approving the list of people to be pardoned at an extraordinary cabinet meeting, the president said that she hopes they will join in on efforts to revive the economy and contribute to overall development in the country.

       

       

    "I hope those who were pardoned actively participate in the efforts to revive the economy and contribute to the development of the nation so that we can together build a Republic of Korea we can be proud of."

       

       

    Businessmen welcomed this news... saying recipients will get another chance to work in the field.

    CJ Group especially is expected to expand its investment and business activities, which had shrunk since Chairman Lee was found guilty.

    Some 1-point-4 million people with penalties and suspensions for driving violations... will see their punishments lifted or reduced,... allowing those who make a living on the road... to get back behind the wheel... starting Saturday.

    Politicians, felons... and those found guilty for sexual crimes, election violations, drunk driving, and hit-and-runs were not considered for pardons.

       

       

    "President Park said the aim of this year's pardon was to give hope to the public as well as to help smaller businesses get back on their feet,... so they can join forces towards national unity and countering the current sluggish economy.

    Song Ji-sun, Arirang News."

       

    Title: Political parties welcome presidential pardons

       

    The nation's political parties generally welcomed the president's special pardon.

    For more on responses from the three main parties,... we turn to Park Ji-won.

    The ruling Saenuri Party welcomed the president's special pardons,... most of which were granted for livelihood crimes,... saying it is President Park's message of resilience, economic revival and national harmony to the people.

       

       

    "In line with our fresh start under new leadership,.. the Saenuri Party regards the pardons as a special measure by President Park to revive the economy and improve the people's livelihoods. We sincerely hope these pardons become a source of hope for an economic revival."

       

    On the other side of the aisle,... the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea expressed regret about the pardon given to a business leader,...

    pointing out that President Park had previously pledged to limit the pardons for crimes by major shareholders or CEOs of conglomerates.

       

       

    "A lukewarm approach to business leaders could harm the very root of the country's rule of law. This should not happen any more."

       

    The minor opposition People's Party gave a positive assessment of the inclusion of small business owners and the perpetrators of livelihood crimes in the list of pardons.

    The party said the whole society bears a common responsibility of failing to take care of those in need... and vowed to help the perpetrators of livelihood crimes make a successful return to society.

    Park Ji-won, Arirang News.

       

       

       

    Title: Rival parties agree to pass extra budget bill

       

    Korea's three main political parties were united on another matter: the government's supplementary budget plan.

    They finally agreed to push forward with the bill submitted to the National Assembly for approval more than two weeks ago.

    Ji Myung-kil give us the updates.

    At a meeting convened by the National Assembly speaker on Friday,... the floor leaders of Korea's three main political parties agreed to call a vote on the extra budget bill on August 22nd.

    To meet the deadline, the special committee on budget and accounts and other parliamentary committees will start deliberations on the budget bill next week.

       

       

    "If the budget bill is passed on schedule,... the ministries will be able to implement the budget by the end of the month."

       

    The three parties also agreed to discuss other government-proposed bills.

       

       

    "At upcoming floor leader meetings, we plan to discuss government-led bills such as reform of the labor market and developing Korea's service industry."

       

    The two sets of bills have been a priority for President Park Geun-hye to help create jobs and prop up the economy.

    The three parties also agreed to form a consultative group to discuss ways to fund a free childcare program for children between the ages of 3 and 5, which is expected to cost an estimated one-point-five billion U.S. dollars.

       

       

    "The opposition parties will continue our discussions on ways to subsidize the free childcare program so it can be included in next year's spending."

       

    The three parties also agreed to work with creditor banks to spearhead the government's plan to restructure ailing shipbuilders, which continues to eat up taxpayer money.

    The government submitted its plan for a ten billion U.S. dollar budget supplement last month to invigorate the economy amid faltering exports and slowing domestic demand.

    Ji Myung-kil, Arirang News.

       

    Title: Korean government to give unemployed benefits

       

    Korea will now provide the nation's young job seekers financial support -- in the form of allowances - so that they can sustain basic living standard while actively looking for a job.

    These will hopefully serve to cover not only the basic expenses such as transportation costs, but also those incurred in job hunting, such as a resume photoshoot or renting a suit.

    Kim Hye-sung has the details.

    The Korean government unveiled plans to give financial support worth over 500 U.S. dollars for active job seekers, as part of efforts to tackle youth unemployment and revitalize economic growth.

       

       

    "Youth unemployment is as high as nine percent, and some young people are even giving up on finding a job because of interview expenses. To offer them support, we plan to provide up to 24,000 job seekers with 540 dollars during a three month period."

       

    The unemployment allowance aims to help cover costs that include housing expenses, transportation, and job interview expenses such as renting formal suits.

       

    The Minister of Employment and Labor also emphasized that the allowance is only for active job seekers, and it is part of a broader package that offers more than just financial support.

       

       

    "We will provide employment consultation, vocational training, and job placement to help young people find a job that suits their aptitude."

       

    The so-called "Employment Success Package" program will provide allowances for those who belong to either of the following two categories.

    The first category comprises basic livelihood security recipients and low-incomers earning less than 150% of the minimum costs of living.

    The second category is for job seekers aged between 18 and 34 and middle-aged people who earn less than 250% of the minimum costs of living.

    The funding will come from the Youth Hope Foundation.

    As of now, only 14,000 from the first category and 10,000 from the second category will be selected to receive the financial support.

    The labor ministry and the foundation said they will finalize a detailed plan on the selection process and run the program starting September.

    Title: S. Korea, Japan's foreign ministers take "comfort women deal" measures step further

       

    The foreign ministers of South Korea and Japan earlier today discussed follow-up measures to a landmark deal on Japan's wartime sexual enslavement of Korean women... last year.

    Tokyo vowed to speed up the process of providing the promised 9-point-9 million U.S. dollars for fund.

    Our foreign affairs correspondent Kwon Soa reports.

       

       

    The implementation of Seoul and Tokyo's landmark agreement on Japan's wartime sexual enslavement of Korean women has made a step forward.

    South Korea's Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida held a phone conversation Friday evening,... which came on the heels of a director general-level meeting in Seoul earlier this week that reportedly resulted in significant progress on the follow-up measures to the so-called "comfort women" deal.

    This included talks on the 1 billion yen or roughly 9-point-8 million U.S. dollars that the Japanese government promised the South Korean government to be used for the sex slave victims.

       

       

    "Minister Kishida mentioned that the Japanese government has decided to swiftly provide the agreed amount, once domestic procedure in Tokyo is completed."

       

       

       

    Meanwhile, Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported that the two sides agreed on HOW the money will be used.

    According to Japanese wire Jiji Press,... it'll be limited for medical and welfare means.

    But Seoul's Foreign Ministry said details are yet to be decided on by the "Reconciliation and Healing" foundation,... which was launched in Seoul last month,... through which Japan's money will be transferred.

    However, not all of the 40 surviving victims,... accept the establishment of the foundation and the landmark deal.

    The two foreign ministers agreed Friday to continue close cooperation to heal the wounds of the victims and retrieve their dignity.

    Yun and Kishida also shared their concern on North Korea and its missile and nuclear provocations,... as well as work on a possible tri-lateral South Korea- China-Japan summit later this year.

    Title: N. Korea has publicly executed 60 people this year: Report

       

    Over in Pyongyang, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un continues to impose his presence in the worst way possible.

    There are reports of more public executions than ever during his rule this year.

    Connie Kim looks into what may be driving him to such extremes.

       

    North Korean leader Kim Jong-un appears to be increasing the number of public executions in order to tighten his grip on power,... amid some of the strongest international sanctions on the regime... and its increasing isolation from the international community.

    A source familiar with North Korea said Friday... Pyongyang has publicly executed roughly sixty North Koreans this year, more than twice the number executed annually since Kim rose to power in 2011.

    North Korea has been mobilizing its people through a 70-day and 200-day "campaign of loyalty" to boost production through intensive labor and forcing its people to pay money to the regime.

    The source said that... with an increasing number of people struggling under the work campaigns,... Kim has intensified his use of public executions to control his citizens.

       

    The source also said the North has started to acknowledge defection as a major threat to the regime, and has begun executing more defectors' families and brokers, with dozens executed in the first four months of the year alone.

       

    As the pressure on the citizenry intensifies, there are signs that North Koreans' discontent toward the regime is building up.

    The U.S.-based Radio Free Asia reported on Friday... that North Korea has changed its military enrollment regulations,... making it mandatory for those who were previously exempt.

    The report said North Koreans have been expressing discontent toward the policy change,... saying the military authorities are trying to use the labor force to complete construction on unfinished buildings.

       

       

    "North Korea experts in Seoul say Kim Jong-un will likely intensify his reign of terror in order to keep control of his people. The question is... how long Kim can continue in this way... without some kind of reaction from North Korean citizens.

    Connie Kim, Arirang News."

       

    Title: Rio Olympics 2016 Bridge

       

    2016

       

    Title: Korea's women archers extend Olympic legacy with gold and bronze

       

    Already, nearing the end of the first week at the Rio Olympics... and boy it's been a busy few days.

    Day 6 of competitions was no less exciting with Team Korea bagging two more medals in women's archery.

    Our Olympics correspondent Kwon Jang-ho is of course here with us to tell us all about Rio 2016.

    Jang-ho, another impressive milestone in Korean archery... was it?

       

    Yes, Conn-young, Korea's women archers once again showed their dominance, bagging gold and bronze in the individual competition.

    But it wasn't the clean sweep of medals that Team Korea had been hoping for.

       

    Strong, swirling winds caused havoc throughout the day, and world number one Choi Mi-sun fell victim to it, suffering an unexpected loss in the quarterfinals.

    Korea's other two archers Chang Hye-jin and defending Olympic champion Ki Bo-bae faced each other in the semifinals, meaning there would be no all-Korean final.

    Chang defeated Ki in a close contest, and in the bronze and gold medal matches both archers were just able to beat the conditions and their nerves to clinch the two medals.

    For Chang it was an especially meaningful title.

    She just missed out on the Olympic team four years ago, a disappointment she had been carrying since then.

    But now she can put those frustrations to bed.

       

       

    "People say the Olympics is the stage of dreams. Having now put the medal around my neck, I think they're right, it still feels like a dream."

       

       

    Now so far, Team Korea has won 3 gold medals in archery at these Olympics and if the men win the individual event today, it would mean a clean sweep of the gold medals in the archery, something that even Korea has never achieved before.

    The games are very much ongoing... with Lee Seung-yun beating Atanu Das of India to make it into the quarterfinals -- that just about half an hour ago -- and as we speak Ku Bon-chan is facing Florian Floto of Germany.

    If Ku can get a win there, then the clean sweep really would be on.

       

       

       

    Title: Rio 2016: Day 6 Update

       

    Well good luck to those boys, and even if they don't achieve that gold, it's still been an incredible performance by Korea's archers, as always... at the Olympics.

    Now going back to Thursday's results... no other medals for Team Korea, but from elsewhere in the Games... some exciting results and record breakers

       

    Connyoung, where do I begin?

    Let's start with the Rubgy Sevens, which was made its closing bow at its first Olympics.

    Fiji overpowered Britain in the men's final, 43 -- 7, winning the nation's first ever medal. It's an incredible achievement for a country with a population of less than 900-thousand people, and wonderful story to end the sport's debut at the Olympics.

       

    Justin Rose marked golf's 112-year return to the Olympics, with a hole-in-one on Thursday. Australia's Marcus Fraser leads the scoreboard after a stunning round of 8-under-par, and Korea's An Byeonghun scored a solid minus-3, and is currently in ninth place.

       

    Another day of swimming, another gold medal for Michael Phelps. He's on his 22nd gold medal now, and he's going for one more on Friday in the 100-meter butterfly.

       

    Title:

       

    But, here's a whole another story of a first-time ever -- a new team of 10...

    they've become an inspiration to the entire world. Here, take a look at this piece by Kim Mok-yeon.

    Title: UN Refugee Olympic team continues to make history in Rio

       

    For the first time in history, an all-refugee team has been taking part in this year's Rio Olympics.

    With support from people all over the world, the UN Refugee Olympic team is off to a good start.

    Kim Mok-yeon tells us why a refugee team at the Olympics is so important and how they are doing in the competition so far.

       

    Kim Mok-yeon tells us more.

    The United Nation's Refugee Olympic team, comprised of 10 athletes from Syria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Ethiopia, was selected to represent the world's 65 million refugees.

    The team began competing in this year's Rio games from August 6, and they have already made some remarkable achievements.

    On Saturday, Yusra Mardini won her swimming heat in the 100-meter butterfly competition with a record of 1:09:21 seconds, ranking 41st.

    Last summer the 18 year old swimmer used her swimming talent to save the lives of some 20 people in the Aegean Sea.

    Although she wasn't able to win a medal, Mardini said that she was grateful for the experience and that her journey will continue in the 2020 Tokyo Games.

       

    Edit 4271

    "I didn't swim my personal best but I was ok because I still have time and we are going to go back and we're going to have four years training and we hope that we're going to do well in Tokyo"

       

    On Wednesday, Congolese Judoka Popole Misenga won his first round fight in the 90 kilogram Judo competition and became the first refugee athlete to win in the Olympic Games.

    Though he lost to world champion, Gwak Dong-han of South Korea in Round 16, his performance acted as a symbol of hope for fellow refugees around the world.

       

    Edit 4226

    "This for me, this Olympics here, it really was something great for me, but also it touched my heart as a refugee, it is also good for the refugees, for all the other refugees and for my family, my brothers and sisters, so that they also know that we are also capable"

       

    With a little more than a week left until the Rio Olympics draws the curtains on the 2016 games, many people from all over the world are hoping to see more great performances from the refugee team.

       

    Title: Rio 2016: Day 6 Controversies

       

    An inspiration indeed and a whole lot of message it sends especially coming from the Olympics.

       

    Definitely so. But, like all else in life... when there are happy news, there are also the downers.

    Chinese swimmer Chen Xinyi and Bulgarian steeplechaser Silvia Danekova have been found to have failed drugs tests. It's another blow to the reputation of the Olympics as it continues to battle doping controversies.

       

    And finally in a bizarre controversy, North Korean weightlifter Om Yun-chol may have falsified his age to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics. A New York Times report has found discrepancies between his year of birth given at the Olympics, which was 1991, with the year given in his biography in a North Korean book, of 1990. If he is found to have deliberately lied about his age, he could have his gold medal from the London taken away.

       

    Title: Rio 2016: Day 7 events schedule

       

    Now, let me give you a quick rundown of today's schedule and what to look out for.

    First the hockey match between Korea and China is currently underway, as well as the last of the Judo competitions at these Olympics.

    Today also see's the start of the athletics, with the women's 10-thousand meter gold-medal race taking place in just under an hours time.

    Later on, Korea's women are in action in the handball and volleyball, but also tune-in for the swimming, where Michael Phelps will be looking to get one more medal, in what could be his last Olympics.

       

    Looking at the medals table, Team USA takes a strong lead with 16 gold medals at the end of day-6, with China and Japan behind them. And for Korea, Chang Hye-jin's gold moves them up the table to fifth. Team Korea are now half way to achieving their pre-Games target of 10 gold medals.

       

    That's all from me, and I'll be back next week, to give you all the updates over the weekends action.

       

       

    Title: Heatwave grips nation, Seoul experiences sizzling temperatures

       

    We have been seeing the temperatures in Korea reach rarely before seen levels and today that record was broken once again... with many parts of the nation reaching 40 degrees Celsius and above in an unofficial tally.

    Our Lee Jeehyun joins me live from weather center.

       

    That's right Record breaking temperatures practically baked many regions of the country. And, Seoul was no expcetion... so I went out today to get a glimpse of how Seoulites were dealing with the heat.

       

    Blinding sunshine and the mercury in the mid-30s and above,...conditions on Friday called for hats, fans, sunglasses, hand parasols, youn name it, to tackle the heat. And certainly it was a day you couldn't walk around without a cold drink in your hand.

       

       

       

    "I started to wonder if the summer has always this been hot... and high humidity is only making it worse, I have a hard time falling a sleep at night."

       

       

    "Once you step outside, you can feel that steamy heat

    I try not to go outside on a sweltering day like today I stay home with my kid."

       

       

    " Feels like I am inside an oven My office doesn't run the air conditioning full blast.. so it's hard to concentrate at work. I hope the heat subsides soon and things get cooler "

       

    A heatwave alert remains in place for the entire nation on Friday and readings should go up as high as today on Saturday.

       

    I will be back with more with the weather updates shortly Back to you Conn-young in the studio

       

       

       

       

    Title: Cumulative electricity billing scheme to be alleviated from July to September this year

       

    Thanks Jeehyun.

    As the nation is experiencing abnormal weather conditions, people are using air conditioning more then ever to beat the sweltering summer heat.

    To prevent people from getting bombarded with enormous electricity bills, the government decided to ease the billing scheme just for this summer.

    Lee Minyoung has more.

    There has been a longstanding dispute over the way Korea's electricity bills are calculated. The system is based on a cumulative billing scheme, and as some have pointed out it charges users excessive rates.

       

    As Korea has been gripped by an exceptionally hot summer this year, the government has come up with a temporary remedy to alleviate energy charges... but it only applies to billings between July and September this year.

       

    According to the eased billing system,...

    In the case of leaving the air conditioner on for three and a half hours in a four-person household, users can pay roughly 40-thousand won or 36 U.S. dollars less than before.

    For those who keep air conditioning on for eight hours a day, the rate goes down by 30-thousand won, or 27 dollars.

       

    The government has estimated that the average household will enjoy a rate cut of about 20 percent.

    The administration and ruling party officials have vowed to carry out sweeping reforms to the current electricity billing scheme.

       

       

    "We share views that the long-debated cumulative energy billing scheme should go through reforms and we decided to form a special task force team and start off the discussion at a zero base."

       

    Meanwhile, as the government announced the energy rate cut, electricity use hit a new record high again on Friday with the maximum electricity load soaring to 85-point-18 million kilowatts as of 5 PM, breaking Thursday's record of 84-point-97 million kilowatts.

       

    The electric power reserve ratio also dipped to 8.5 percent on Friday... marking the fifth time a single-digit ratio has been recorded this year.

    As a means to cope with this electricity shortage, from Thursday, the government started to crack down on stores keeping their air conditioners on full blast while their doors were left wide open.

    Title: CULTURES SOPT TITLE

       

    2016. 06.10~

       

    Title: Seoul Performing Arts Company celebrates 30 years with new production

       

    Seoul Performing Arts Company celebrates its 30th anniversary with a new production that fuses traditional and contemporary music and dance from around the world.

    On our Culture Spot this week: first, our Oh Jung-hee.

    The low rumble of the Korean buk ripples through the darkened theater... as a group of people dressed in glowing traditional costumes appears.

    This is the opening scene for a new production by the Seoul Performing Arts Company called "Nori," or "Play" in Korean,... that's a feast of traditional and contemporary music and dance from around the world.

    The story follows four young men who dream of leading the performing arts field in Korea... and get a chance to follow their ambition when they win a trip to five countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.

    In Bali, the four men watch a local performance of the Balinese dance drama kecak, with music performed on traditional instruments like the gamelan.

    The four men eventually join in,... adding a few modern-day hip-hop and pop dance moves as the traditional music plays.

    Similar scenes take place in Burkina Faso in West Africa and Madrid in Spain,... where the four men learn new music and dance styles, and then blend them with traditional Korean instruments and dance moves.

    The theme is all about harmonizing with the world through music,... because while language is often a barrier to communication,... music is not.

       

       

    "The director of this production has studied traditional Korean music and the rhythms and instruments of the world for a long time. I think the director wanted to emphasize cultural harmonization through music in a moden production."

       

    He and the actors had to put in some extra effort to learn how to sing, dance and play the instruments of the countries the characters visit.

       

       

    "It's an era of globalization, so I wanted to come up with a production that could target overseas performing arts markets as well. And I believe my goal is reflected well in the storyline."

       

       

    The show runs through August 21st at the Arko Arts Theater in Seoul's iconic theater district.

    The company will present the production in New York in November.

       

       

    "Marking its 30th anniversary, as well as the opening of this year's main program, Nori, members of the Seoul Performing Arts Company expressed their resolution to further strive to promote top-notch Korean performances to the world.

    Oh Jung-hee, Arirang News."

       

    Title: Jeonju Nightwalk

       

    It attacts millions of visitors every year. With a cluster of extraordinarily well-preserved collection of traditional Korean houses... it's the epitome of traditional Korea - The Jeonju Hanok Village - in the nation's southwest.

    Yes, it is impressive during the day... but it's quite another under the moonlight.

    Our Kim Jung-soo is on a nightwalk in Jeonju himself.

       

    Jeonju in Jeollabuk-do Province, southwest of Korea, is a globally famous city renowned for its carefully preserved community of over 8-hundred traditional Korean houses, known as hanok.

    And designated in 2010 as an international "Slow City," the Jeonju Hanok Village welcomes millions of visitors every year, with more than 8 million experiencing the village's attractions in 2015 alone.

       

    The Jeonju Hanok Village usually closes its doors before 8 p.m., but on Friday night, colorful lights illuminated the alleys to serve as the backdrop for a special cultural event.

    Dubbed the "Nightwalk in Jeonju," the program was organized by the Cultural Heritage Administration in collaboration with the city of Jeonju.

       

       

       

    "The city would turn invisible at night, but not tonight. We hope visitors can experience an entirely new aspect of the Jeonju Hanok Village and Jeonju city as a whole with the various performances and attractions we have prepared."

       

    Just like what the mayor said, visitors can freely stray off from the designated paths and enter specially arranged buildings within the village.

       

    The Gyeonggijeon Hall is one example. The site usually functions as a quiet shrine that preserves the portrait of king taejo from the Joseon Dynasty, but today, visitors can experience a meticulous reenactment of Korea's traditional tea ceremony also known as darye.

    Visitors can learn about the history and customs of traditional beverages as well as have a taste of freshly brewed tea in a timeless ambiance.

       

       

    "We came to Jeonju because of the architecturethe tea ceremony and everything elseit's really nice here."

       

    Dancers donned on their finest traditional Korean dresses, or hanbok, to greet the smiling crowd.

       

    The national intangible heritage center is another must-visit location. Here, spectators are treated with exclusive performances which include jaw dropping exhibitions of tightrope walking, known as jultagi.

    What follows is a magical shadow-theatre performance,which captivates the audience with a story told through light and darkness.
