Waching daily Dec 8 2017

Many regions had bone chilling temperatures this morning.

We have a cold wave advisory in the central region and a heavy snow advisory in Jeolla-do

and the easternmost islands of Dokdo and Ullengdo with up to 10 centimeters of snowfall expected

for those islands.

It will feel like mid winter today...

Seoul will make it to 1 degree Celsius, Daegu and Gwangju will rise to 4 degrees.

Readings will ease a bit this weekend with a mix of snow and rain in store on Sunday

in Seoul.

Then we could have the coldest temperatures of the season next week.

Colder-than-normal conditions are with us and will be here for the time being....meaning

higher heating bills for most of us.

Here are some of energy saving tips to keep in mind.

With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world.

While many of us in South Korea will have a harsh winter day along with icy cold temperatures,

many regions in North Korea will have even lower temperatures.

As for the rest of Asia, rainy Friday is in store in Tokyo which will bring colder air

to the nation.

Meanwhile, summer is in full swing in Sydney... many are bracing for a scorching week ahead-

but not before the chance of a thunderstorm or two on Friday afternoon.

Heading to North America, the unfavorable weather conditions across Southern California

are challenging firefighters looking to contain the blazes.

As for South America, Bogota, Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro will have a rainy day along

with thunderstorms.

Taking you to Europe,...Britain will be under the influence of Storm Caroline... causing

school closures and power cuts as the storm sweeps across the UK.

Lastly to Africa, major cities on the map will be under mostly sunny skies.

That's all the weather update for now.

UN official meets with North Korean foreign minister in Pyongyang - Duration: 0:55.

And we've already been seeing North Korea pull more strings,... inviting a senior UN

diplomat to the country's capital for talks,...

Jeffrey Feltman,... the UN's undersecretary general for political affairs,... met with

the regime's foreign minister Ri Yong-ho on Thursday,... though the details of their meeting

have yet to be revealed.

North Korea's state-run media says the visiting envoy discussed UN assistance and operations

in the country along with "other matters of mutual concern."

And with the UN envoy wrapping up his four-day trip today,... focus is on whether or not

Kim Jong-un will continue to avoid meeting high-profile visitors.

It wouldn't be much of a surprise if Feltman returns without encountering Kim,.. as he

shunned the Chinese president's special envoy last month.

North Korea wants talks with U.S. to discuss security guarantees: Lavrov - Duration: 2:09.

North Korea reportedly wants to talk with the United States to guarantee its security.

This was the clear message relayed on Thursday by Russia's foreign minister to his U.S. counterpart

Rex Tillerson.

Park Jong-hong has the details.

While North Korea is talking tough about a war with the U.S., it is apparently looking

forward to dialogue with Washington.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says North Korea wants to sit down with the U.S.

to seek guarantees on its security.

He was quoted by several sources as passing on that message to U.S. Secretary of State

Rex Tillerson in Vienna on Thursday.

The two met on the sidelines of a ministerial conference of the Organization for Security

and Co-operation in Europe.

Lavrov said Russia is ready to support North Korea's dialogue with the U.S. adding that

it's willing to help facilitate such negotiations.

Meanwhile, Russia's foreign ministry said Tillerson and Lavrov agreed that Pyongyang

must thoroughly abide by UN Security Council resolutions.

This comes after North Korea blasted the U.S. on Thursday for the large-scale combat drills

taking place over the peninsula, saying the exercises are "confrontational warmongering

that makes a war inevitable."

On its state-run news channel, North Korea added that "it does not wish for a war, but

it will not hide from it."

Responding to the tension, China's foreign ministry spokesman urged all parties to stay

calm and to refrain from provoking each other.

He said a war would benefit neither side and would threaten the lives of many people.

Against this backdrop, China has sent a special envoy to the U.S. to discuss North Korea-related

issues.

Beijing's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Zheng Zeguang is set to meet Matt Pottinger,

the head of Asian affairs at the White House's National Security Council.

U.S. officials send mixed signals regarding Winter Olympics participation - Duration: 1:54.

Let's start with the latest developments on the

2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics,... now just 62 days away...

The White House says the United States... is looking forward to taking part in the Games,...

and has NO plans of pulling out of the competition.

The clarification comes as there was some confusion on the matter,... with the American

ambassador to the UN saying...

U.S. participation was an open question... that needed to be discussed.... given the

tensions with North Korea.

Yu Joonhee has our top story.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has tweeted... that the U.S. is looking

forward to participating in the upcoming PyeongChang Games.

She added... the protection of Americans traveling to Korea was a top priority for the administration...

and that it was working with Seoul's government to ensure their safety.

However,... the message from the White House ran contrary to a statement from Nikki Haley...

the American ambassador to the United Nations.

Haley,... in an interview with Fox News,... said there were questions surrounding whether

or not U.S. athletes would travel to South Korea,... amid escalating tensions with North

Korea.

(English) "There is an open question - I have not heard

anything about that, but I do know that in the talks that we have had, whether it's Jerusalem,

whether it's North Korea, it's always about how do we protect the U.S. citizens in the

area."

The U.S. Olympic Committee also released a statement... in an attempt to clear up any

confusion,... saying no discussions have taken place... on the possibility of abstaining

from the Winter Games.

The U.S. Olympic Committee is a government-chartered,... but fully independent entity that is not funded

by the federal government... and has the final say on the athletes' participation.

For now, the U.S. is planning to send more than 200 athletes to the Olympics,... where

the venues lie just 80 kilometers south... of the demilitarized zone.

Bitcoin tops record US$19,000 on Thursday, falls sharply, rising again - Duration: 0:56.

Bitcoin continues its wild ride,... rocketing past 19-thousand U.S. dollars for the first

time on Thursday before falling sharply to around 15 thousand dollars... and it's currently

back on an upswing.

The price fluctuations come just days before the upcoming launch of the first bitcoin futures

contract, which is fueling investor interest.

Bitcoin began the year below one-thousand dollars and has surged more than fifteen-fold

in value so far.

Proponents say Bitcoin is a good medium of exchange and a way to store value that's not

subject to central bank manipulation.

But critics warn that the price run-up is a bubble that has been driven mostly by speculation,

leaving Bitcoin vulnerable to a sharp reversal.

Seoul-Washington joint air force drill to end Friday afternoon - Duration: 1:35.

It's been a massive show of force against North Korea,... but South Korea and the United

States are preparing to wind down their largest air force exercise to date.

The allies have spent the past few days going over various wartime scenarios,... including

targeting North Korea's key nuclear and missile facilities.

Kim Hyun-bin reports.

Seoul and Washington have been conducting a massive air combat drill known as 'Vigilant

Ace'.

The five-day exercise is the largest ever combined air force drill between the two allies,...

involving 230 warplanes and around twelve-thousand personnel.

Two dozen U.S. stealth fighter jets took part in the drills, six of them F-22s, six of them

F-35As, as well as a dozen F-35Bs,... marking the first time the highly-advanced jets have

cruised the skies above Korea at the same time.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is said to be most afraid of stealth fighters as they

can easily get past the regime's air defenses undetected.

Other U.S. assets include two B-1B bombers and six Growler electronic warfare jets, as

well as dozens of F-15s and F-16s.

South Korea has deployed 90 fighter jets, including its F-15 and FA-50 fighters

The U.S. also flew two B-1B supersonic bombers over Korea for two consecutive days on Wednesday

and Thursday, carrying out bombing drills over the Yellow Sea near North Korea and China.

It is unusual for the U.S. to send the bombers, stationed in Guam, for two days in a row.

Their exercise was simulated to target key North Korean facilities including nuclear

and missile sites.

Think Twice (Barbaric YAWP) - Duration: 8:02.

Hi you guys!

This is Megan here, and this is my draw my life video, and I hope you guys enjoy.

So...

To be honest with you, I don't really

...

Really, don't know what to talk about

Myself in general *sigh* like to be honest with you, I think my life is personally boring and

...

not that extreme...

So I decided to talk about something else and it's gonna be an emotional ride

But first off,

Let's just start off simple.

I'm Megan Alexandria Denter

Dislikes...

let's see

I don't like:

spiders,

slow walkers, birds for some odd reason, and insects

For likes I like drawing (obviously),

singing,

dancing,

playing video games,

dogs/puppies,

and sleeping in

Personality-wise.... I mostly everywhere XD

March 31st 2001 is when I came into the world

Boyfriend-girlfriend at the time, they never even thought about having me until I came...

so, they decided to get married, after I was born

However, they always had arguments with each other, so they were about to get a divorce when I was like a little girl

But then my mom said,

"Hey, I'm pregnant again!"

so my dad decided to stay around for a little while

March 14th 2004

is when my little sister was born

it's actually my first memory ever

Her name is Tristen Brooke Denter

Now we really...

don't get along as well

...

because you know regular sisters, but really we

really, do love each other a lot

We just get into a lot, A LOT of arguments

And that's totally fine by us like we get along right after like five minutes later

But even right after she was born

They kept getting into fights so that didn't really help the situation

Around any of us, it affected us greatly, so they finally got a divorce

in February 2007

It seemed like my mom

found another guy, and she had an affair on him

(Dad, is what I meant)

So Dad moved out and that really worried us

Not only that in my mind, but I was being abused

even by my own mother

I

...

Didn't know what to do

I complain to myself

I beat myself up after my mom hurt me

After the kids bullied me and calling retard

my mom saying

"Hey"

"You only have Asperger's?"

But that was only a misdiagnosis like I actually have ADHD

So right after me and Tristen told the counselors about our experience with our mom

our dad finally got custody of us

But as soon as that happened our mom disappeared

A year later

after she disappeared

...

We were under supervised visits with our mom from then on

but she then told us one day during the summer that she had cancer

(Cololn Cancer, to be exact)

As nine and six-year-old girls we didn't really understand and we were thinking

"Should we trust her?"

But then we started believing her after she lost her hair and she grew weak

July 4th 2012

We moved from Anaheim all the way to Draper, Utah

to help his

(our dad)

beloved new girlfriend, Stacy, with her kids

to helping them to go to college

Since we didn't tell our mom at this time

She was really disappointed so from then on we drove then flew to California to see her

But even then just flying down to see her

It was just a train wreck every single time we get into...

stupid arguments that I didn't agree or she didn't agree with

and it made everyone uncomfortable

Just every single day from then on after she abused me

I just thought about how she's gonna hurt us next so I kept my guard up

I wouldn't let her get near me

or talk to me

Just thinking to myself I was like why is everyone protecting her

She's a jerk, but I guess that's what I thought

June 2nd 2017

I woke up from my bed

with a heartache

at 5 o'clock.

I was like

"What's going on?"

Why is this...

Why am I waking up so early?

But then I decided to shrug it off and go to school like nothing had happen

I finally got out of school with a happy mood

That school is over!

But then I saw my dad slumped on the kitchen counter

And I asked him

"What's wrong?"

And he told me the news

...

My mom passed away

four o'clock,

California time

this morning

We all got it out

...

Together but even now my dad says I'm going through the grief stage still

Now I'm just thinking about how I treated mom when she needed my help,

and I just left her

And the time when

...

*sigh*

I pushed her across the room

telling her that she should die already from her cancer

The time I told her

"Hey!"

"I'm gonna draw yeah one day!"

...

and I never did

idk I just

felt

so

angry

for no reson

And I keep thinking to myself

"Why am I even here when I treated someone that horribly?"

Whenever we visit

she take us to Disneyland teaching us how to have fun and still be kids

But we didn't understand

And whenever I got sick

She tried to help me out with her homemade soup say

"Hey?"

"Don't let life get you down like this."

Tried to show me the beauty of the world even though

It's so terrible as it is right now

The last time that we saw her

she told us that

"Hey you're the light of my life, please don't go!"

...

and yet we did

And we didn't say anything

So after flying down a week later

(of Mom's death)

to see my mom's funeral

I went to the cremation room

Everyone told me

"Don't"

"DON'T"

"You're not supposed to deal with this."

and I'm like

"I want to..."

so when I was in there

They showed me a bunch of flowers, and I saw this perfect one

It's a purple flower.

I don't know what it's called,

but it was intertwined

and it really caught my attention

I just thought of how Mom was with me,

and how we could have been together

The regret that I have right now

don't worry

I'm keeping it with me

that may sound bad,

but it's not

What I'm actually gonna do

is carry it around with me.

I'm not gonna let it get the best of me

I'm gonna share it to the world that who

NEEDS

the experience --

Positivity

the brightness of this experience I went through --

It's not all bad

I understand now

My mom always told me

"Never let anything get you down."

And she wanted this to be a happy funeral

she didn't want anyone wearing black

So I wore purple that day

And I saw her get cremated

But really mom

I do miss you,

and I'm so sorry

really am

that didn't talk to you for the last time

I love you

I'm so sry for this emotional roller coaster

Thank you

EVERYONE

for listening to

my story

S. Korea aims to be in world's top 3 in drone sector by 2030 - Duration: 1:23.

The South Korean government has unveiled a long-term, multi-million dollar plan to develop

unmanned vehicle technology.

It hopes to make the country one of the sector's global leaders by 2030.

Kim Mok-yeon reports.

The Ministry of Science and ICT revealed its 10 year plan to develop the nation's unmanned

vehicle industry, focusing on drones, self-driving cars, and unmanned ships.

The ministry says with the long-term plan, South Korea could rank third in the industry

with a market share of 10 percent by the year 2030.

Currently, Korea ranks seventh in the world for drone technology, but it is heavily dependent

on imported equipment, even for crucial technology in autonomous cars, cameras and radar.

Vice minister Lee Jin-kyu said that the ministry will focus on unmanned vehicles, stressing

that they are working with industry experts to secure these key technologies.

Local engineers are planning to develop autonomous vehicles and drones that can be combined and

separated from each other, multipurpose airplanes that can turn into undersea vehicles, and

even aerial drones that can carry people in a small cockpit.

The ministry said that it will first inject some 11 million U.S. dollars for research

and development next year and another 500 million dollars over the next decade.

It is aiming to create some 92,000 jobs by 2030.
