North Korea hosts series of international events possibly aimed at securing foreign exchange - Duration: 1:59.

North Korea has held its first October international marathon,... while holding a number of other

international events in recent weeks.

Watchers see the events as a way to attract tourists... and secure much-needed foreign

cash in the wake of intensified sanctions against the regime.

Our Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

North Korea held its first fall season international marathon this year,... in addition to its

annual event in April.

Foreigners also took part in the event,... where runners pass by Pyongyang's major landmarks,...

including the Kim Il-sung Stadium.

While the regime aimed to attract a large group of foreign participants,... there were

only about two dozen foreigners out of the 230 participants.

(ENGLISH) "It's really nice to run around the streets

of Pyongyang.

There was a wonderful crowd cheering for you, and that was the best."

This isn't the only international event the North has been hosting amid intensified sanctions.

Earlier this month,... it held a furniture expo targeting Russian and Chinese vendors,...

while a fashion show showcasing Korea's traditional attire, hanbok, and a clothing expo were also

held in Pyongyang in September.

The capital's annual International Trade Fair was also bigger than usual this year.

(KOREAN) "Despite isolation and uncivilized sanctions

imposed by the U.S. and others, the 13th Pyongyang International Trade Fair was a success."

Watchers say these international events can be interpreted as the regime's attempt to

attract foreign tourists and secure foreign currency while the international community

continues to impose tougher sanctions on the country.

IT tycoons to appear before parliamentary audit session to talk about reversing problematic ... - Duration: 1:01.

Our starting point this morning are the parliamentary audit sessions that are nearing an end.

Twelve parliamentary committees are holding their last sessions starting right around

now.

And on this Monday,... the leaders of Korea's IT giants are gathering before lawmakers assessing

the sector.

Executives from the country's most popular internet portal Naver, Facebook, Apple, Google

Korea and Samsung Electronics' Wireless Business Division will likely raise the issues surrounding

what they see as problematic government regulations that hinder their business operations.

But with the main opposition Liberty Korea Party's boycotting all parliamentary activity,...

it looks like the audits will not have their perspective.

The party will deliver its final say on whether or not their lawmakers will attend the audit

sessions after holding a general meeting this morning.

The parliamentary audit wraps up on Tuesday.

Iran implementing its nuclear deal commitments: IAEA - Duration: 0:38.

The head of the UN atomic agency, Yukiya Amano, says Iran has been carrying out its commitments

made under a 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

He made the remark at a press conference in Tehran on Sunday, adding the IAEA has been

monitoring and verifying the nuclear related commitments made by Iran under the JCPOA since

January last year.

Amano's visit comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said a "total termination" of the deal

remained possible, after refusing to certify the accord and leaving its fate to the U.S.

Congress.
