Hello and welcome to our viewers all across the globe.

Title: Magnitude 4.5 quake hits near Gyeongju
We begin this Monday night with news of another quake rattling Korea's southeastern region.
The Korea Meteorological Administration says a moderate earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4-point-5 struck near the city of Gyeongju at 8:33 PM, Korea time.
The tremor was felt all across Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. Officials say it was centered about 11 kilometers from the southeastern city... which was struck by two powerful quakes exactly a week ago.
Since then, more than 370 aftershocks have been detected in the area, but tonight's quake is considered the strongest so far.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Title: Gyeongju may be designated as special disaster area
Speaking of the two powerful earthquakes that struck Korea's southeastern city of Gyeongju last Monday...
Gyeongju is world famous for its historic sites... and it could now be designated a special disaster zone following the quakes last week.
As our Kim Min-ji reports, authorities estimate the losses will qualify the region for emergency relief and financial support.
Korea's southeastern city of Gyeongju may be designated as a special disaster area... following two powerful earthquakes that hit the region last week.
To be declared a disaster zone,... damages need to exceed 7-and-a-half billion won,... or roughly 6-point-7 million U.S. dollars.
That would qualify local residents for emergency relief,... as well as special administrative and financial support from the government.
The city estimates the damages at around 9-point-5 million dollars.
About two thirds of that are damages to private property,... while the remainder pertains to public facilities as well as cultural assets.
On top that,... Gyeongju is also expected to accrue indirect damages -- due to canceled accomodations as well as schools postponing field trips to the area.
The region has reported over 370 smaller aftershocks... since the earthquakes with magitudes of 5-point-1 and 5-point-8 hit last Monday -- the latter being Korea's most powerful quake on record.
The government has already released a separate emergency relief fund worth about 3-point-6 million dollars to Gyeongju and nearby affected areas.
Since the quakes, local authorities have carried out emergency repairs... and related agencies plan to complete the damage assessments of both public and private facilities this week.
They expect to have a clearer idea of the total damages by the end of this month.

Title: S. Korea, U.S., Japan issue joint statement on N. Korea's provocations
Seoul, Washington and Tokyo will work on a stronger, more comprehensive measures to prevent further North Korean provocations.... in the wake of Pyongyang's fifth nuclear test earlier this month.
The top diplomats of the three countries also discussed new unilateral sanctions on the regime.
Our foreign affairs correspondent Kwon Soa starts us off with their meeting ahead of UN meetings in New York.
South Korea, the U.S., and Japan issued their first joint statement on North Korea since 2010,... after their meeting Sunday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
It said they would closely coordinate policies and expand collaboration in the wake of North Korea's second nuclear test this year,... and the regime's series of ballistic missile launches.
South Korea's Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se emphasized North Korea's nuclear test on September 9th was the strongest ever conducted by the regime.
"The recent nuclear test by Pyongyang provided ample proof that its nuclear program has neared the tipping point. Moreover the past frequency is significantly reduced from three years to eight months."
Minister Yun and his U.S. and Japanese counterparts also agreed to work on ensuring that the international community fully implements existing sanctions.
They discussed further unilateral and multilateral methods to deter North Korea's nuclear ambitions,... in addition to the UN Security Council's ongoing talks on a new resolution.
"The international society is required to initiate a different response. The U.S., South Korea, and Japan must be in the driving seat to lead the international debate."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry once again stated that dialogue with North Korea is only viable under the following premise.
" We are prepared to sit down with the DPRK,... providing North Korea is prepared to talk with the rest of the world about responsible approaches to the question of nuclear weaponry."
"Later this week,... South Korea's foreign minister is expected to send a strong message to North Korea... through his keynote speech at the UN General Assembly,... with the North's Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho expected to be in attendance.
Kwon Soa, Arirang News."
Title: Foreign ministers of S. Korea, Japan agree to seek sanctions to pressure N. Korea in "every possible way"
Now, following on the heels of that meeting was a one-on-one between Seoul's foreign minister Yun Byung-se and his Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida.
Aside from North Korea's nuclear programs... the two countries' landmark agreement on Japan's wartime sex slavery was a core topic.
Our Connie Kim has more on the meeting.
South Korean foreign minister Yun Byung-se and his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida have met more than ten times since taking office,.... and their bilateral meeting on Sunday ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York centered on ways to impose heavy sanctions on North Korea in every possible way.
Both Yun and Kishida expressed concern over the North's ever more frequent and threatening provocations... in the face of warnings from the international community, which have raised tensions on the Korean peninsula to unprecedented levels.
The two agreed to work with the U.S. to seek strong measures to raise the pressure on North Korea... with the support of the international community including China and Russia.
The two ministers also reviewed Seoul and Tokyo's cooperation.
South Korea's heads of state and their foreign ministers made swift contact via phone after North Korea's nuclear test earlier this month.
Those discussions led to speculation that the Japanese foreign minister may have raised the possibility of reviving a previously abandoned proposal to expand military intelligence-sharing to better deal with North Korean threats.
Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported that the two ministers saw eye to eye on bilateral cooperation in security matters.
Regarding Seoul and Tokyo's landmark agreement on the Korean victims of Japan's sexual slavery during World War 2, Seoul didn't give specifics but said it will thoroughly implement the agreement.
"Hinting at more regional cooperation,... Seoul says the two foreign ministers also briefly discussed plans for the South Korea-China-Japan summit set to be held this year in Toyko."

Title: Security issues and THAAD top parliamentary agenda Monday
In Seoul's parliament...
National security topped the agenda today, including the controversial deployment of a U.S. missile defense system.
Our political correspondent Park Ji-won has the details.
The ruling Saenuri Party has once again stressed the necessity of deploying the U.S. missile defense system THAAD to the peninsula... to effectively counter the nuclear threats from North Korea.
"The THAAD deployment is no longer a matter of choice, but a necessity,... as it is the country's right to defend itself from North Korean nukes and missiles."
Meanwhile, the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea made clear its opposition to the idea floated recently by the ruling camp... that South Korea should procure its own nuclear arsenal to protect itself from the North.
The party hasn't yet laid out its stance on THAAD, but the party's floor leader did say that party leader Choo Mi-ae's opposition to THAAD is her own opinion and does not represent the party's official stance.
"The party will lay out its official stance on THAAD after holding a seminar with experts and gathering lawmakers' opinions."
Woo added that the controversy in South Korea over the THAAD deployment... reflects differences in how to deal with North Korea's nuclear threats,... but is not a sign of anti-Americanism... nor is it a weakening of the alliance with the U.S.
The minor opposition People's Party is currently considering changing its opposition to the THAAD deployment,... although it hasn't yet offered an official position on the matter.
The party did, however, stress that the South Korean government should keep providing humanitarian aid to the North... and urged it to draw up a long-term national strategy for dealing with Pyongyang.
"Starting Tuesday, the parliament will kick off a four-day interpellation session. Lawmakers will cover a range of current issues, including North Korea's nuclear threats and the government's preparations for future earthquakes.
Park Ji-won, Arirang News."
Title: Korea-Netherlands summit set for Sept. 27
President Park Geun-hye is set to hold a bilateral summit here in Seoul to beef up economic cooperation and garner support to denuclearize North Korea - this time with the Netherlands.
Next Tuesday... on September 27th, the South Korean leader will sit down with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte who will be on a four-day official visit to South Korea.
Marking 55 years of diplomatic ties... the two countries will step up practical cooperation in fields ranging from trade and investment... to future growth engines like bio- industries and smart- farming, with new MOUs to be signed.
The two leaders will also discuss cooperation on the international stage, on regional and global issues including North Korea's nuclear program.

Title: Samsung to offer replacements for Galaxy Note 7 in Korea starting today
Samsung kicked off its Galaxy Note 7 exchange program this Monday... giving smartphone owners in its home market of Korea and the UK, now... the chance to replace their fire-prone devices.
It's the latest phase of a costly recall for the world's largest smartphone maker, which halted the global rollout of its new phone on earlier this month after reports of the devices catching fire.
Our Kim Hyesung hit Samsung stores in Seoul for a look at what the demand was like for "battery-problem-free" devices.
Samsung Electronics has started providing replacements for its Galaxy Note 7 smartphones in Korea.
The move comes two weeks after the company announced a massive recall of its large-screen smartphones in ten countries on September 2nd, amid reports of its batteries exploding or catching fire while charging.
Around 400-thousand Note 7 smartphones have been sold in Korea, and users of the phone can get the same color replacement at Korea's three main mobile carriers -- SK, LG U-plus and KT -- just by bringing in their device.
LG U-plus customers can get replacements at any store in the country, and SK and KT customers can get new devices at the store where they made the purchase by September 30th.
"We are offering to replace the old Note 7 phones based on the date users activated the device. More than a dozen Note 7 users changed their phones at our shop today. With Samsung expected to provide 90 percent of its new Note 7 units across the country this week, we will be able to replace old phones for all users who bought them at our shop by Saturday."
The new Galaxy Note 7 phones show the battery charging icon in green rather than the original white, to differentiate it from the old ones.
Monday is also the last day for Galaxy Note 7 consumers who either want a refund or who want to cancel their service without a fee.
Samsung started the recall process in Singapore on Friday and will start recalling phones in the U.S. on Wednesday.
The world's biggest smartphone maker said it will expand the recall program to other countries later this month and will start selling the Note 7 again on September 28th.
"But with Apple's new iPhone 7 series a hit with consumers and LG set to unveil its new V20 smartphone, it remains to be seen how Samsung will get itself through the Note 7 crisis.
Kim Hyesung, Arirang News."
Title: Former KDB chief appears for questioning in Daewoo investigation
Seoul prosecutors summoned and questioned the former head of the state-run Korea Development Bank today... as they speed up their investigation into a high-profile corruption case involving a local shipbuilder.
Shin Se-min has the latest in the ongoing probe into allegations of corruption at Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering.
The former head of the Korea Development Bank appeared for questioning at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seoul on Monday.
Kang Man-soo , who is at the center of a high-profile corruption case, is suspected of pressuring Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering to invest in a local biotech firm run by an acquaintance.
Daewoo Shipbuilding poured 4-point-4 billion won, or nearly 4-million U.S. dollars, into research projects spearheaded by the biotech firm back in 2012 and 2013,... when Kang was the chairman of the state-run KDB.
The bank was the financially troubled shipbuilder's main creditor at the time.
The funds dried up when Kang retired in 2013.
Prosecutors are also questioning Kang about whether he funneled projects to construction firms owned by his relatives while in office.
The 71-year old is also suspected of giving loans to local seafood maker Hansung Enterprise, run by his high school friend Lim Woo-kun .
Kang claims he is innocent.
"All my life, I've worked for my country. Even during my time in public office, I didn't do anything that I should be ashamed of. I am sure all the suspicions will be cleared up through the investigation."
Prosecutors launched a full-fledged investigation into Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, the world's second largest shipyard, earlier this year.
They summoned the company's chief financial officer on allegations of accounting fraud last month and several company executives have been indicted on corruption charges.
With the allegations piling up, Daewoo Shipbuilding is teetering on the brink of collapse, as its creditors lose patience with the cash-strapped firm.

Title: Authorities identify prime suspect for Chelsea bombing
Police are searching for a 28-year-old man... described as a naturalized citizen of Afghan descent, Ahmad Khan Rahami, in connection with the bombing in Manhattan over the weekend... sending out an alert to millions of residents via a cellphone alert.
The bombing in Chelsea Saturday night left 29 wounded... and New York governor Andrew Cuomo has said a there may be a 'foreign connection' to the attack.
Our Kim Jung-soo has the latest.
New York City mayor Bill De Blasio says police are on the lookout for Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, as the main suspect in the New York bombing that occured on Saturday night.
Khan is a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan.
The bombing occured in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City, and injured 29 people.
According to U.S. media, both the detonated bomb and a second device found nearby were pressure cookers filled with shrapnel.
De Blasio told CNN Monday morning that more details will be released in the days to come as the investigation gains speed.
Edit No7142
"We know from everything we've seen so far that this was an intentional act. I want to reaffirm I said last night but again we do not know the motivation.""
He said the police will soon be able to determine whether the attack was commited by an individual, or more than one person -- also whether the Chelsea bombing is related to two more explosions that took place in New Jersey within 48 hours of each other.
CNN now reports that law enforcement officials believe a terror cell may be at work in the two states.
And New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has said there was a possible foreign connection behind the Manhattan blast.
Across the river Monday morning in New Jersey, a device exploded near a train station in Elizabeth City as the bomb squad was attempting to disarm it. No one was hurt.
That followed a pipe bomb which blew up on Saturday inside a garbage can in Seaside Park New Jersey, shortly before a charity race.
Fortunately, no one was wounded in that explosion either.
More than a thousand miles away in Minnesota, an attacker, making references to Allah stabbed and wounded nine people at a shopping mall.
He was later shot dead by an off-duty police officer.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack, but made no similar claims about the incidents in New York and New Jersey.

Title: Korea's Chun In-gee posts new major record of 21 under at Evian Championship
On a wet and dreary day at the Evian Championship, Chun In-gee radiated brilliance.
The 22-year-old Korean golfer set a new scoring mark for major championships - men and women - with her 21-under performance.
How this victory help solidify Chun's place in golfing history... here's Lee Unshin.
Heavy rain may have soaked the fairways,... but mother nature didn't stop golfing history being made at the final LPGA event of the season.
Korea's Chun In-gee did it in breathtaking fashion on Sunday,... winning the Evian Championship in France with the lowest ever under par total in a major -- be it male or female.
The 22 year old stunned fans with a 21-under-par 263 over 72 holes,... cruising to a four shot victory over her fellow countrywomen Ryu So-yeon and Park Sung-hyun.
The title gives Chun her second Major title following her win at the 2015 U.S. Women's Open.
She also jumps four spots in the world rankings from seventh to third.
Although finishing in a tie for 43rd,... Korean born New Zealander Lydia Ko, remains the world's number one with the best combined record at all five majors.

Title: Exclusive Interview: Olympic gold medalist-turned-IOC member Ryu Seung-min
Summer 2016 will be rememberd by many around the world with keywords like athletes, team pride, sportsmanship, the Olympic Games.
But, for those of us in Korea, we can add another special hashtag, if you will. A new Korean member of the International Olympic Committee Athletes' Commission. That very member is with us in the studio today: We want to welcome Ryu Seungmin, an Olympic champion in table tennis at the 2004 Athens Summer Games and newly elected member of the IOC Athletes Commission.
Seungmin, first of all, congratulations
You've been elected as one of four new members of the IOC Athletes' Commission.
For those of us not too much in the know, tell us what it means to be part of the IOC Athletes' Commission, what inspired you to shoot for that goal?
"Once selected, you are a member of the IOC athletes commission, for 8 years. It's composed of 15 people, and 12 are chosen right during the actual Olympics..
As for the summer Olympics this time around, we had 4 vacant spots, which is why we chose to elect 4 new members out of 23 candidates. So over 11-thousand people who participated who competed in the Olympics worldwide gave direct votes, and the votes went on during the actual Olympics
The athletes' commission represents the voice of the athletes, defends their rights, and deals with all issues pertinent to their well-being, and we act almost the same as other IOC members.
One reason we decided to do this, is that we experienced many things while training as an athlete for over 25 years… I have plenty of experience as an athlete but for everything else, I am pretty much a novice…so I thought that applying for the position would be a good learning experience, and the athletes recognized that I was sincerely interest in taking this job."
how did you win the hearts of your fellow Olympians?
"When I arrived at Rio, I was pretty certain of how I should approach the athletes, and I also had a pretty good sense of what I had to say to them…that's of course because I am an athlete myself, and also because I have experience as an actual voter in past elections. And obviously the athletes are very tense and sensitive during the Olympics because they have to be focused 100% on reaching their peak potentials…so I can't just walk up to them out of the blue and tell them to vote for me.
So I took my time to introduce myself and create an attentive audience…I walked around a lot, somewhere around 35000 steps or 25 kilometers during a single day. Once a match starts and a lot of athletes start gathering up in one place, I would go there but I won't just stand still in one spot, but rather walk around the stadium and approach the athletes, and say things in their native tongue…I did that almost every single day, from 7 am to 9 pm, for 27 days, so in the end, I had some athletes come up to me first and encourage me. In the beginning however, I had athletes asking me stuff like, "Where is the bus stop," or "Where is the restaurant?"
A lot of people thought I was just a volunteer at first, but once they saw that I was putting on a sincere campaign-effort, they seemed to have a very good impression of me and it all worked out well in the end."
What was your key pledge to them?
"Mainly 2 things… When I went to meet the athletes, a lot of them didn't even know what the Athletes Commission is, or what good it is for them.
It's because they are just so focused on their performance and career…when I explained to them what the athletes commission is, the athletes asked me about what kind of specific "voice" the commission represents, and I was a little shaken myself because I didn't know how to answer that question. I was just a candidate and had never really worked "in" the IOC.
So I pledged to them that if I do become a member, I will create a strong and reliable bond with the athletes, see things from their eye-level, and really work things out for the benefit of the athletes.
Another pledge I made was that I was going to improve the lives of the athletes 'after' their careers on the field… I've been a professional athlete for 25 years, served as a coach after that, retired, and am now embarking on a new challenge. So I told them that I was aware of the difficulties faced by athletes after their competitive careers come to a close.
I told the voters that because I am retired, I have a lot of free time, and can pretty much run anywhere to where I am needed most…which really clicked with the athletes. Korea has only just found out about the poor quality of life for retired athletes, I found out that athletes from countries in Europe, Africa and the Americas were facing the same problems as well… "
From here on forth... for the next eight years, what would your schedule look like and what would you like to have achieved by the end of your term?
" I usually plan for each day rather than mapping long term plans.
But we do have our first meeting on the 4th of November.
That day we get to know what kind of role we would take and which committee I would be assigned to during the orientation.
I guess it's not easy to plan for the next eight years for now, but I wish I could earn favorable evaluations as a member of the commission so that in eight years time, I would be able to become an individual committee member.
And we have the Pyeongchang Olympics waiting ahead.
Many Korean IOC Committee members told me they are very much looking forward to the upcoming Pyeongchang Olympics when we exchanged greetings for the first time.
So I hope I could fulfill my role in whatever I can do and contribute to bringing good results in the upcoming Winter Games. "
We wish you all the best and the entire country will be cheering you on in carrying out your role as a member of the IOC Athletes' Commission.
Title: KOREA'S WORLD HERITAGE
KOREA'S WORLD HERITAGE
Title: Gyeongju Historical Area, where Silla Dynasty comes to life
Sculptures, reliefs, pagodas, and the remains of temples. The Gyeongju Historic Areas contain a remarkable concentration of Korean Buddhist art... particularly from the 7th to 10th centuries.
Our Hwang Hojun introduces us to the Gyeongju Historic Areas: Korea's UNESCO World Heritage.
It's the ancient capital of the Silla Kingdom.
And it continues to tell the story of the golden kingdom, even today.
The Gyeongju Historic Area is divided into five distinct areas, the Namsan Belt, the Wolsong Belt, the Tumuli Belt, the Hwangnyongsa Belt and the Sanseong Belt, where one can experience the birth and fall of Silla.
There are ten criteria UNESCO uses to assess whether a heritage candidate has outstanding universal value.
To be included on the World Heritage List, sites must meet at least one of the ten selection criteria.
The Gyeongju Historic Area was selected as a World Heritage Site in 2000 after meeting two of the criteria... exhibiting evidence of interchange of human values, and bearing exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which has disappeared.
"There is abundant evidence that Silla played a crucial role in the cultural communication in East Asia, Gyeongju being the final destination of the Maritime Silk Road.
Moreover, the city bears some archaeological significance as it preserves the features of the ancient kingdom's capital."
To name a few...
One cannot miss the Daereungwon Tomb Complex, in the Tumuli belt of the area, because of the numerous and prominent burial mounds containing the tombs of kings and nobles.
Since excavation started in the 1970s, over 40,000 relics have been found, including royal crowns and golden accessories.
One of the tombs rose to fame after a painting of a winged horse on birch bark was discovered.
The tombs not only demonstrate the lavish lifestyle of the royals, but the some excavated artifacts, including those made out of glass, show us Silla was more than just a kingdom sitting on the east end of Asia.
Rather, it was a country that actively traded with countries in the West, including Persian countries and even Rome.
Cheomseongdae, the world's oldest surviving observatory stands in the Wolseong Belt of the district.
"By measuring the position of the sunlight shining through the small window on Cheomseongdae, it was possible to keep track of the 24 seasonal divisions, which was crucial for an agrarian society."
Built in the 7th century, Cheomseongdae's symmetrical and round structure, along with its deep pit filled with gravel and sand, made the ancient observatory earthquake-resistant.
As a matter of fact, it even survived the magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Gyeongju last Monday.
Countless remnants of Silla, including the old palace site, give visitors the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the kingdom's past glories.
"They built so many beautiful buildings and a beautiful town. This was really impressive. Yes.
Most impressive to see what is like a possible in the past. What was possible in the past."
The city itself is an open-air museum... a treasure trove that testifies to the unique, artistic, and international identity of the millennium-long Silla Dynasty.

Title: Russian Election Good News for Putin
Russians went to the polls yesterday for the country's parliamentary elections and it appears Vladimir Putin's United Russia party has won by a landslide. I'm joined now by Barry Welsh for World News. The counting is reportedly not over yet, but it seems like results so far are pointing at a victory for the ruling party, not to mention the opportunity for Putin to run for a fourth term as president.
93 percent of votes have been counted so far and the Russian Central Election Commission says the ruling United
Russia party is on track to win 76 percent of the seats available in Russia's Duma, the lower house of parliament.
However, turnout for the election was significantly lower than in the last parliamentary election 5 years ago. Turnout was around 48 percent, down from nearly 60 percent in 2011, suggesting many anti-Putin voters simply decided note to vote.
Furthermore, the leader of Russia's Liberal opposition People's Freedom, or "Parnas" party has indicated they believe vote rigging may have taken place:
"It is clear that the election was not free and fair, that's what we were saying in the beginning when we started the election campaign. Now we will be talking about the third factor - how trust worthy is the information about the vote."
The ruling United Russia party was founded by Putin when he first became president 16 years ago. The Russian President claims he has not decided whether he will run again in 2018 but many expect him to.
Title: Emmy Awards Announced in U.S.

Title: Typical autumn weather with big gaps in temperatures
The nation is back in work mode on this Monday following the extra long weekend. It was a pleasant day here in the capital, but I understand it was quite the opposite in parts of the southern region.
With more, here is Lee Jee-hyun at the weather center.
Jee-hyun, the Chuseok holidays were good to us, weather-wise. Tell us more about this stormy weather down south.
Right Conn-young. The southern coastal regions have seen some rough weather for the past few days.
Today, the national weather agency issued a typhoon warning for waters off of Jeju Island and in the south sea. A strong wind advisory is in place for all of Jejudo Island as well as some of the southern coast, including Busan.
Typhoon Malakas continues to head east and will be about 40 kilometers east of Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture by early tomorrow morning before dissipating by late afternoon.
So for Tuesday, not only the upper regions but the entire nation can expect beautiful autumn weather with plenty of sunshine -- but beware of big gaps between the lows and highs. Let's take a closer look.
The daily low in Seoul will start out at 16 degrees Celsius, while Daegu and Gwangju will have a low of 17 degrees.
For the highs,
Seoul and Gwangju will reach 27, while Daegu and Jeju will rise to 24.
The remainder of the week will see typical autumn weather, with highs staying slightly above the seasonal averages.
That's it for Korea... and here's look at weather conditions around the world.
