Title: South Korea, China to rev up strategic communication on N. Korea issue

   

We begin with the much anticipated South Korea-China summit today.

President Park Geun-hye sat down for a one-on-one with her Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping earlier this morning on the sidelines of the G20 Leaders' Summit.

Our top office correspondent Song Ji-sun is traveling with the presidential press corps and she joins us live from Hangzhou.

Jisun, anticipation had been running high leading up to the bilateral summit today... with THAAD being the buzzword.

How did the summit play out?

"Conn-young, all eyes and ears were on Monday's summit as it's the first time the two leaders meet since Seoul and Washington announced to deploy the U.S. missile defense system THAAD in South Korea. Although there were no dramatic steps forward, the two leaders used this opportunities to share their stances on the issue."

   

Park called for Beijing's cooperation, stressing that this is the last chance to curb North Korea's nuclear and missile threats... and that if it weren't for those threats there would be no reason for THAAD.

Chinese President Xi Jinping vowed to implement the UN's sanctions on Pyongyang... and reaffirmed Beijing's stance on a nuclear-free Korean peninsula. Park said that being able to deter North Korea's reckless nuclear provocations, will contribute to peace and stability, which is in the two countries' common interest.

   

   

"The two countries expressed concern and recognized the urgency and severity of North Korea's continued provocations. As for THAAD, the two sides exchanged their basic stances and will follow up with further communication."

   

President Xi, however, expressed opposition to the U.S. missile defense system being deployed to South Korea. According to China's state-run Xinhua news agency, President Xi said "mishandling the issue is not conducive to strategic stability in the region and could intensify disputes."

The two sides were on the same page in terms of developing bilateral relations, with next year marking 25 years of diplomatic ties.

Park said relations should be upgraded... from recognizing their differences... to trying to narrowing that gap.

"We need new perspectives and approaches to effectively counter various challenges that we face on economic and security fronts."

   

   

   

"We must take an active role to encourage global and regional peace. And we must overcome difficulties and challenges for China-Korea relations to develop on the right path."

   

Going forward, Seoul and Beijing agreed to reinforce strategic communication on multiple channels... while involving Washington in a trilateral dialogue.

   

   

"After having agreed to rev up communication on North Korean issue with Russia and now with China... President Park will continue her call at summit with the U.S. and Japan at her next stop of Laos for the ASEAN summit. Back to you.

   

Our Song Ji-sun live from Hangzhou, the host city of this year G20 leaders' summit. Thank you.

   

   

Title: N. Korea fires three Rodong missiles during G20 talks

   

As leaders of the world's 20 largest economies met in neighboring China, North Korea fired three ballistic missiles into the sea off its east coast.

South Korea's military officials say the launch is believed to be of mid-range Rodong missiles and flew about 1-thousand kilometers without giving any prior navigational warning.

What's the motivation behind the launch and how far has the regime come in its missile technology development?

Here's Connie Kim.

In defiance of the international community's calls to halt its provocations,… North Korea fired three ballistic missiles into the East Sea at 12:14 PM on Monday South Korea time from Hwangju County, south of Pyongyang.

   

   

"North Korea's ballistic missiles launched today are believed to be medium-range Rodong missiles.

They flew about one-thousand kilometers until they hit waters within Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone without a no-sail warning."

   

The North usually alerts ships to stay off its east coast ahead of a missile firing.

South Korean military authorities have slammed the provocation, calling the launch a violation of the UN Security Council resolution passed in March.

Seoul has been watching closely for possible provocations from Pyongyang... as September 9th, this Friday, marks the 68th anniversary of North Korea's founding.

The North has a track record of provocations around that important regime anniversary.

Two years ago it test-fired two short-range ballistic missiles.

The timing of Monday's missile provocation is important to note... as it coincides with the G20 summit in China... where the leaders of South Korea, the U.S., China and Russia have been discussing the upcoming deployment of the THAAD missile defense system to South Korea.

Military authorities believe the North's missile launch on Monday is part of an armed protest to keep military tensions on the peninsula high by showing off its nuclear and missile capabilities to commemorate the regime's founding and to mark the G20 summit.

   

   

"Pyongyang's provocation comes less than two weeks after the North successfully launched a SLBM.

Military and information authorities are taking note on the advancements of the North's ballistic missile capabilities,… as its range becomes longer and its aim more precise.

Connie Kim, Arirang News."

   

   

Title: S. Korea's Foreign Ministry strongly condemns N. Korea's missile test

   

The missile launches, of course, drew immediate condemnation by South Korea as well as the international community.

Our Kwon Soa has Seoul's response,... as well as experts' views on what may be behind the latest provocation.

   

   

Describing it as a clear violation of UN Security Council's resolutions and a threat to not only the Korean Peninsula,... but also to neighboring countries and the international community,... South Korea's foreign ministry condemned North Korea's latest ballistic missile test on Monday.

   

   

"North Korea has nothing to gain through such provocations.

South Korea and the international community's zero-tolerance policy and the will for sanctions and pressure will only grow stronger."

   

Echoing South Korea's denouncement,... Japan also lodged a strong protest against Pyongyang's missile test,... and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reportedly told U.S. President Barack Obama that the act is "unforgivable", on the sidelines of the G20 summit.

While Seoul's foreign ministry stressed the launches occurred while global leaders gathered at that G20 summit,... that doesn't necessarily mean Pyongyang timed Monday's missile test on that occasion.

   

   

"I think we need to get away from thinking that everything North Korea does on the ballistic and nuclear front is a reaction to some kind of current news event. I know, some people are suggesting that it might be a message to the G20 for example.

I think we need to keep in mind that North Korea has a long-term armament plan, which calls for certain things to be tested at certain times."

   

The professor also noted that as tests are happening more and more often,... the window for opportunities to stop Pyongyang's weapons' development,... including its nuclear program,... might be closing, which in other words implies the regime could be seeing more global measures aimed at stopping its ambitions.

   

   

"North Korea's missile launches are becoming more frequent,... in this situation,... we can't help but apply international sanctions ."

   

   

"More pressure is expected on the international front. According to an official,... the UN Security Council will most likely issue a press statement against North Korea's missile test in the near future.

Title: Seoul-Beijing summit talks alleviate tensions between two countries regarding THADD

   

Now, the summit between President Park Geun-hye and President Xi Jin-ping put the THAAD deployment to South Korea once again in the spotlight, as well as some positive signs that bilateral ties won't worsen.

What are the implications and the focus of the talks?

Our Kim Hyesung reports.

   

The summit talk between leaders of Korea and China in Hangzhou Monday was highly anticipated due to the deployment of THAAD to the Korean peninsula, an issue that heightened tensions between the Seoul and Beijing in recent weeks.

   

   

"The summit was in overall positive. Although President Xi Jin-ping expressed China's opposition to the deployment of THAAD to Korea, he didn't imply that Seoul should withdraw from such plan nor he talked about the issue in a strong, aggressive way. Moreover, 90 percent of the talks focused on cooperation, mutual trust and upgrading bilateral relation, while only 10 percent was about THAAD."

   

During the 46 minute summit, President Xi emphasized the close historical ties that Korea and China have, by mentioning the Chinese people's cooperation to protect Korean independece movement leader Kim-gu in Hangzhou back in the 1930s during Japan's colonial rule.

   

   

"China and Korea are close neighbours. We have a broad range of common interests in the rapidly changing environment surrounding the Korean Peninsula and North East Asia."

   

Some experts also pointed out that while the two leaders recognized THAAD as a conflict of interest that should be addressed, there were no details as to how they will reach a compromise.

   

   

"Talks between the two leaders were very general and vague. There is still no specific details on how they will narrow their differences or about how they will cooperate."

   

Nonetheless, the general consensus is that tensions between Seoul and Beijing have been allieviated.

   

   

"Today's summit removed concerns that bilateral relations between Seoul and Beijing may worsen. Both recognized the need for one another in addressing complicated issues in the Asia Pacific region."

   

Although details still need to be ironed out regarding THAAD, experts in general are seeing a promising future in Korea-China bilateral ties, but they also suggested that emphasizing constructive communication and multilateral cooperation will be key for such goal.

Title: G20 concludes with agreement for co-ordinated policies to tackle weak global economy

   

The 2016 G20 meeting has come to a close with leaders from the world leaders agreeing to take co-ordinated action to boost the slowing global economy.

But a number of sideline summits that have taken the headlines this year, such as a bilateral meeting between President Obama and President Putin on Monday.

Kwon Jang-ho brings us the details.

The two-day meeting of leaders from 20 of the world's leading economies closed on Monday, with the adoption of a joint communique, dubbed the 'Hangzhou Consensus'.

The agreement stressed the strengthening of policy co-ordination between the nations to improve the flagging world economy.

   

Chinese President Xi Jinping warned world leaders on Sunday against rising protectionist tendencies saying it was putting the world economy at risk.

South Korea's President Park Geun-hye reiterated the importance of increasing free-trade in Monday's meetings, stressing instances of protectionism in the past had damaged economies.

The Hangzhou Consensus also looks to promote new industries and the digital economy, with nations agreeing to draw up action plans to grow those sectors.

   

But on the sidelines of the summit, this year's G20 forum was one where political divisions and struggles were strongly evident.

A high-profile meeting between U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin ended up with no agreement on ways to de-escalate the war in Syria, with more discussions said to come in the near future.

Obama also met with Xi before the start of the G20 Summit, both ratifying the landmark climate-change agreement...but the good will was seemingly soured by a minor diplomatic incident at Hangzhou airport where Obama was the only leader without a red-carpet reception due to a mechanical failure of the staircase.

Commentators said it was a deliberate snub by China, although Obama was quick to brush off the incident.

Brexit was also a tense subject, with several nations, including the U.S. and Japan, warning Britain it could take time to negotiate trade deals, and face withdrawing overseas businesses.

The first G20 meeting in China might have successfully closed, but global issues and concerns remain.

Title: Russian expert's view on North Korea's nuclear weapons and deployment of THAAD

   

Now, as North Korea continues on with its provocations and no sign of the regime giving up on its nuclear ambitions... we wanted to listen in on different view.

Our defense correspondent Kim Hyunbin spoke to a Russian security expert in Vladivostok for his view on the increasingly important regional security issue.

For many years now North Korea has been relentlessly trying to perfect its nuclear program by conducting four nuclear tests and developing ballistic missiles that could be topped with nuclear warheads.

A Russian regional security expert in Vladivostok says North Korea cannot but continue to develop nuclear weapons because it believes that is the only way to guarantee regime survival.

   

"It is a defensive weapon for them a political tool for survival and some extent a tool of black mailing and tool to be secured, that is a logic for a cold war very unrealistic logic, that is not very appropriate in contemporary situation, but that is logic of North Korea and there is no other logic for them."

   

To better resolve the issue, Gubin proposed a new multinational dialogue framework other than the now stalled six-party denuclearization talks.

   

"Republic of Korea, China and Russia are the most interested nations in mitigating North Korea and resolving this crisis. Seoul, Beijing, and Moscow has its own channels of entice with Pyongyang we can use it to firstly to elaborate some decisions in trilateral format and broadcast to Pyongyang and consult with Pyongyang."

   

On the issue of THAAD, the Russian security expert said... from Moscow's point of view, although the deployment does not pose a direct military threat... it will destabilize an already volatile region.

   

"There is no threat from THAAD to Russia but in terms of regional stability THAAD is very provocative. Russia is an advocate to make North East Asia stable and calm. China is extremely sensitive to this issue because China wants the Northeast to be Chinese dome not American."

   

The expert also pointed out that Pyongyang's true fear is of invasion and decapitation of the regime similar to what happened to Iraq and Libya.

   

   

" He believes the first step is for international countries to reduce that fear before trying to denuclearize the isolated nation."

Title: Saenuri Party leader Lee Jung-hyun suggests political reforms at parliament during his parliamentary speech

   

As Korea's parliament marks the opening of the assembly's regular session, it's also time for the main parties to unveil their party's policy goals.

The ruling Saenuri Party kickstarted the speech series today... our senior parliamentary correspondent Park Jiwon has a wrap-up.

   

The leader of Korea's ruling Saenuri Party has laid out his party's policy goals,... vowing to spearhead long-overdue political reforms.

In his first speech to the National Assembly as party leader on Monday morning,... Lee Jung-hyun stressed the need for lawmakers to give up their privileges.

   

   

"I always wanted to appeal to you, my fellow lawmakers, that parliament desperately needs to reflect on itself and be reborn to be the people's true representative."

   

To achieve that, he suggested creating a task force this month to revamp the way parliamentary politics are conducted... to ensure lawmakers truly focus on serving the people... rather than themselves or their party.

Lee also urged the opposition parties to cooperate on the passage of several pending economy-related bills,... including a labor reform bill,... as well as on security issues,... like the planned deployment to South Korea of the THAAD missile defense system.

   

   

"I propose that the assembly creates a new tradition of bipartisan cooperation on matters of security,... such as THAAD, cyber terrorism, as well as security funding and other security-related bills,... for the sake of the country."

   

He also made conciliatory gestures to opposition parties and Korea's southwestern Honam region,... for the ruling Saenuri Party's past political attacks and long-perceived disregard,... saying regionalism is fading away,... citing himself as living proof, being a rare Saenuri lawmaker whose constituency is in the Honam region.

   

   

"The main opposition Minjoo Party's leader Choo Mi-ae will deliver her address on Tuesday,... followed by a speech by the minor opposition People's Party's interm leader on Wednesday.

Title: Korea's anti-graft law to influence 40,919 organizations starting Sept. 28th

   

With Korea's Chuseok holiday coming up next week, many people are busy buying gifts for friends and family, co-workers and business partners.

That tradition of getting high end presents for business partners in this country is about to change as a newly passed anti-graft law is set to take effect as of September 28th.

The anti-corruption commission released a list of organizations and institutions subject to the new legislation -- our Shin Semin reports.

More details of the newly-passed anti-graft law have been released.

According to the Anti-corruption and Civil Rights Commission, the brand new Kim Young-ran law, or the act of prohibiting illicit solicitation and bribery will affect 40-thousand 919 organizations.

The figure includes central administrative bodies, local scools and provisional state run institutions.

Of that,… 96-point-8 percent, or over 39-thousand institutions are schools, media outlets.

   

Under the new legislation, those working in stipulated sectors will be prohibited from receiving meals pricier than 27-U.S. dollars, gifts worth more than 44 dollars or receive congratulatory or condolence money for a wedding or funeral that goes over 89 dollars.

   

Those who violate the law will be faced with a fine worth over 27 thousand dollars or prison time of up to three years.

The law, named after the person who had first proposed the act was passed by the parliament last year, which was approved by the Constitutional Court in July, will go into effect on September 28.

Title: Korea to speedily implement measures to curb household debt

   

Korea's top financial regulator says the country will move up the implementation date of a set of measures unveiled last month to control the nation's snowballing household debt.

Kim Min-ji has the latest message from the FSC.

The Korean government is pulling out all the stops to tackle the nation's soaring household debt.

Yim Jong-yong -- the head of the Financial Services Commission -- vowed to quickly implement the measures put forward late last month.

In August,... the government laid out a plan that included controlling the housing supply to cut down on new mortgage lending... as well as tighten the leash on so-called collective loans -- which have relatively lax screening requirements.

   

Those measures came as Korea's household debt hit a record-high of over 1-point-1 trillion U.S. dollars as of the end of June.

   

For one,... the financial authorities will adopt a debt service ratio screening system some time this year... which will measure how much of a borrower's disposable income will go towards paying back principal and interest.

They'll also tighten regulations on loan collateral in the non-banking sector starting next month, rather than November,... as well as for collective loans right away.

For the country's overall private debt situation, the authorities will form an inter-agency taskforce to oversee it and draw up relevant contingency plans.

   

Despite those efforts,... there has been criticism of the strategy.

Some say curbing the housing supply could simply cause housing prices to skyrocket in Seoul and other high-demand areas.

On top of that,... with concerns lingering that the country may be falling into a low-growth trap... and with interest rates at a record low,... analysts expect household debt to continue to rise for some time.

Title: Lotte patriarch and executive summoned over corruption allegations

   

Korean prosecutors have told Lotte Group founder Shin Kyuk-ho to come in for questioning on Wednesday... as part of a sweeping criminal probe against the confectionery-to-chemicals conglomerate.

Our Hwang Ho-jun has the latest on an ever intensifying probe into alleged corruption at Lotte.

)))

Shin Kyuk-ho, the 94-year-old patriarch of Lotte Group was issued a subpoena by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office on Monday afternoon... to appear before prosecutors on Wednesday.

Whether he will actually answer the summons remains a question.

Just last week, the South Korean court appointed a law firm as the Lotte founder's legal guardian... due to what it called his "diminished mental capacity" owing to his old age and poor health.

Lotte Group's head of external affairs, So Jin-sei, was also subpoenaed and appeared for questioning Monday morning.

Prosecutors said they've collected much circumstantial evidence since last month that has led them to suspect So of committing aggravated breach of trust.

So was expected to be questioned for alleged involvement in irregularities in the process of raising new capital for a Lotte affiliate between 2010 and 2015.

Prosecutors will also probe So on suspicions he created slush funds for the founding family.

Entering the prosecutors' office, So denied the allegations raised against him.

   

   

"There are no such slush funds. I intend to answer all questions earnestly."

   

The prosecution has been looking into the group since June... after launching full-fledged raids on its headquarters and affiliates.

The investigation quickly escalated after Lee In-won, a Lotte executive considered a key player in embezzlement at the group, was found dead late last month in an apparent suicide.

Title: Hanjin files for bankruptcy protection in U.S.

   

Hanjin, Korea's once mighty shipper has applied for bankruptcy protection in the United States.

This comes as the Korean government launched a special task force to deal with the possible impact on the country's maritime sector.

For details we turn to Kim Jung soo.

Hanjin Shipping has reportedly filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. at a court in Newark, New Jersey.

The Wall Street Journal says the application was filed last Friday, just two days after the company applied for protection in Korean courts.

The filing will prevent creditors from seizing Hanjin's U.S assets and block them from launching further legal action... while the company undergoes restructuring in Korea.

The report says the U.S. bankruptcy filing was made by Suk Tai-soo, Hanjin's inside director and foreign representative.

The company currently operates over 60 regular lines world-wide... with a fleet of 140 container or bulk vessels.

The Wall Street Journal says Hanjin's bankruptcy will be regarded as "the largest container-shipping failure in history," dwarfing all previous carrier bankruptcies.

Meanwhile, the Korean government set up a special task force on Sunday to cope with potential disruptions in maritime trade... and the economy as a whole... caused by Hanjin's recent difficulties.

According to the Financial Services Commision, Hanjin Shipping currently owes over 64 billion won, or 58 million U.S. dollars, to a combined 457 contracted companies. Hanjin's possible delays in transport and satisfying its financial obligations could create problems for their operations as well.

The government task force will also instruct Hanjin Shipping to apply for prohibition of seizure orders in 43 countries... to further minimize the risk of creditors taking Hanjin's vessels.

It will also deploy teams to Korea's five major ports in Busan, Ulsan, Tongyoung, Changwon and Mokpo, to quickly identify and respond to problems arising in the shipping sector.

Title: Changdeokgung Palace represents modesty of Joseon-era royals

   

Seoul is one of the world's most modern metropolis with its state-of-the-art infrastructure and skyscrapers.

But sitting in the heart of the concrete jungle is Changdeokgung Palace, the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal of palaces of Korea's Joseon Dynasty.

Arguably the most beautiful of Seoul's main palaces... our Lee Unshin shows us to Changdeokgung Palace - Korea's UNESCO World Heritage.

In storybooks, ancient palaces would usually be located by a seashore or in an endless green field.

But that's not the case with Changdeokgung Palace, a remarkable structure built centuries ago located in the middle of the now congested heart of Seoul and which was once the home of Korea's royal family.

Amid skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of urban Seoul, these historic grounds preserve the beauty of traditional Korean architecture, attracting a wide range of visitors both from home and abroad.

   

[English]

   

"I experienced some tranquility in the very busy part of Seoul actually and I thought 'Wow that's interesting, let's stop by'...and I saw the UNESCO sign so it must be beautiful, that was the reason.

What I think is very beautiful is the very detailed paintings on the roof parts and the layout of the buildings in the nature itself. "

   

Originally built as a secondary palace after the main Gyeongbokgung Palace, also located in Seoul,... Changdeokgung Palace gently blends into its natural surroundings, thanks to a minimal presence of artificial architectural features, thus preserving the landscape at the foot of Bugaksan Mountain.

That particular virtue is one of the main reasons UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site.

   

[Korean]

   

"I live in Busan and this is actually my very first time at Changdeokgung Palace.

I have visited Gyeongbokgung Palace before, and I saw a lot of visitors walking around the castle wearing the Korean traditional clothing, Hanbok .

It looked so graceful and fitting, so I thought I'd do the same and take some pictures while I'm here."

   

And she's not alone in choosing Hanbok. To wander around the courtyard of Injeongjeon hall, where centuries ago major state affairs such as the coronation of a new king were conducted,... you might think you've traveled back in time to the Joseon era.

The outfit really helps bring visitors closer to this remarkable place. And if nothing else, it makes a great photo opportunity.

Compared to other palaces from the era, Changdeokgung's design and layout are quite unique. Whereas most palaces were rigid and structured, Changdeokgung emphasized harmony with nature. But its most valuable treasure is hidden in the back.

   

[St-up]

   

"This is the part that truly differentiates Changdeokgung palace from any other historic site in Korea; the secret garden. Used as a place of leisure by the royal family long ago and nowadays, this secluded peaceful space offers visitors a rendezvous with nature."

   

At the center of this expansive garden to the north of the palace....is a large pond, called Buyongji. And to the side is a pavilion once used as a library where the king and the government officials studied and discussed politics.

The pavilion has a gate named Eosumun , meaning "The ruler should always put his people first."

As the place where the King contemplated how to rule a nation, it couldn't have a better name.

Changdeokgung Palace is steeped in Korean history. It may be ancient, but the natural beauty conserved in each corner keeps it feeling new and brimming with live.

Representing the modesty of the Joseon-era royals, who respected their people and their surroundings,... Changdeokgung Palace may still have something timeless to teach us today.

Title: Security tightened and vigils held in Philippines following bomb blast

   

Security has been tightened in Davao City in the Philippines after Friday's bombing incident that killed 14 people. Barry Welsh is live in the studio with me.

Barry, President Duterte has declared a "state of lawlessness" in the city following the attack. What does that mean? State of lawlessness.

   

The President of the Philippines was on a regular visit to Davao City at the time of the attack,... but he was not in the vicinity of the bomb blast where 14 were killed and dozens more injured. In response to the attack President Duterte has ordered a series of heightened security measures. Police checkpoints have been set up around the city and military presence has been increased with soldiers on motorcycles patrolling the city.

   

   

"This is one of our heightened security measures. Those who are entering and leaving Davao City are being inspected. Cars, motorcycles, everything will be checked without exemptions."

   

Presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella said more than 60 people were wounded in the blast and were sent to various hospitals in the city. Bereaved family members held vigils for the dead on Saturday and have been calling for justice.

   

   

"We want justice. I want to know who did this to my poor sister."

   

Authorities say the terror group Abu Sayyaf, linked to ISIS, has claimed responsability for the attack, a group that is notorious for making tens of millions of dollars from kidnappings.

   

   

Title: Thousands protest Brazil's new president in Sao Paulo

   

Tens of thousands of protestors took part in a huge demonstration in Sao Paulo on Sunday against Brazil's newly appointed president Michel Temer.

   

Several demonstrations have been held to protest the Brazilian Senate's decision to impeach former President Dilma Rousseff last Wednesday after a trial that lasted several months.

   

Former vice president Temer was sworn in as president after senators voted to convict the country's first female president for illegally using money from state banks to bankroll public spending. The decision officially marked the end of 13 years of leftist Workers' Party rule. Protestors however reject the impeachment decision:

   

   

"We protest so President Temer knows what the Brazilian people are thinking about the coup carried out against President Dilma who did not commit an impeachable offence, much less a crime. She is a serious person who always worked for the good of the Brazilian people."

   

Demonstrators have said that the impeachment decision was an illegal act designed to remove Rousseff from power.

   

What are the protestors worried that Temer will do now he is in office?

   

Many believe that he is going to try and push through a series of anti-democratic measures and unwanted fiscal reforms.

   

It looks like Brazil remains much shaken and divided even with a new president in office. We'll be following up on that story. All right. Thanks so much for tonight, Barry.
