The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has confirmed that a highly pathogenic

strain of avian influenza was found in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do Province.

The H5N6 strain of the virus was detected in wild bird droppings near a local stream.

It's the fourth time that H5N6 has been found in Cheonan.

Following the confirmation,... the government ordered an immediate ban on the movement of

all poultry from over a hundred farms.

Authorities also strengthened quarantine measures on those farms, and said they're doing all

they can to prevent further spread of the virus.

Success of the 'me-media' era - Duration: 2:26.

Smartphones and easy internet access led to a surge in one-person media.

Instant content creation, interaction with creators... these are some of factors fuelling

the evolution of the industry that may still be in its infancy.

Won Jung-hwan reports.

User created content has been around for several years, but the latest trend within this area

has been the increase in live-streaming.

Viewers can interact directly with live-streamers, asking questions or making requests such as

asking the live-streamer to sing a particular song.

This so-called 'il-in media', or 'me-media' is growing by 30 percent each year in Korea.

Expert Yoo Jae-hyuck, author of the book 'Era of Me-media: Global Stars', explains why this

type of user created content is becoming so popular.

(KOREAN)

"If you look at YouTube video stars, they can approach viewers and satisfy their needs

much more easily and quickly than a traditional live broadcasting service through live-streaming

shows."

Unlike traditional mass media platforms,… 'me-media' creators can produce personalized

content, and share and interact in real-time with their viewers who can participate and

influence the direction of the content.

This 'Me-media' content can often be on very specific, personalized topics, which aren't

often seen on mainstream media.

They can also be ridiculously popular.

One Korean content producer, Benzz, eats more than 5000 kilocalories of food during each

episode of his show, and has nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube.

But the growth of 'me-media' has led to some negative issues.

One major problem is the lengths some 'me-media' producers will go to in order to attract more

viewers.

(KOREAN)

"As everyone can post or create videos, there is a lot of inappropriate content on 'me-media'

platforms.

Some creators try to increase their number of viewers or subscribers by taking off their

clothes."

'Me-media' has been attracting much attention in the Korean media contents industry in recent

years,... with a potential audience size larger than that attainable by traditional media

such as television.

However, the market itself is still in its early stages in Korea, and there is a need

for more distributing high-quality content for the further growth of 'me-media'.

Frigid air moves back in _ 010318 - Duration: 2:22.

Good afternoon.

According to the weather agency, last month was the 7th coldest December since 1973, .. and

I have feeling this January could be top ranked within the top 7 as well...

Frigid air has moved back into the nation and upper regions had some bone chilling morning

lows with more regions under a cold wave advisory.

The wind chill is making it feel even colder than the actual temperature, so dress extra

warm.

Seoul will top out at the freezing mark, Daegu and Gwangju will see highs a couple notches

lower than yesterday at 4 degrees.

The skies will be clear for the Seoul area for the whole week, while Jeju and southern

provinces will see a mix of rain and snow this week.

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

While most regions in South Korea will see temperatures a couple notches lower than yesterday,

most cities in North Korea will have sub-zero afternoon highs but bright skies.

As for the rest of Asia, operations at the Delhi airport were suspended on the New Year's

holiday weekend, after the visibility level on the runways dropped below 50 meters.

A foggy start on this Wednesday will give way to some sun later on.

Meanwhile, warm January temperatures are in store in Melbourne before a scorcher hits

the city on Saturday with highs in the forties.

Heading to North America, the extreme cold made Tuesday morning a tough one for people

in Chicago heading back to work for the first time since the holidays, Wednesday is going

to be a freezing as well.

As for South America, those in Bogota will have on and off rain as the rainy season is

well underway.

Taking you to Europe,..those in Berlin and Paris will see frequent rainfall this week

but temperatures will be bearable.

Lastly to Africa, major cities will have good amount of sunshine with a high of 29 degrees

in Cape Town.

That's all the weather update for now.

Two opposition parties launch joint body to start official talks for potential merger - Duration: 1:54.

A major shift in Korea's political paradigm could be on the horizon at the National Assembly

-- with the center-left People's Party and minor conservative Bareun Party paving the

way for a potential merger.

The two opposition parties launched a joint committee this morning to start official talks

for their integration.

Kim Min-ji reports.

Korea's third and fourth largest political parties launched a joint committee Wednesday...

that will act as a bridge for a potential merger.

The development comes after a string of closed-door meetings between two lawmakers from each side

-- the center-left People's Party and the minor conservative Bareun Party.

Details are in short supply,.. but it's likely they'll form a brand new party.

The committee will be tasked with discussing the specifics of the procedure... as well

as determining when to hold a national convention to vote on the merger as well as the timing

of the new party's launch.

The process picked up steam... following a nationwide ballot among members of the People's

Party last week -- in which those that took part said they backed the plan to join forces

with the Bareun Party.

If the merger goes through, the two sides would make up the National Assembly's third

biggest negotiating bloc -- and also put two former presidential candidates and political

heavyweights -- Ahn Cheol-soo and Yoo Seong-min -- in the same party.

Eyes will be on how this will impact legislative affairs -- and whether the new party could

become a stumbling block for the ruling Democratic Party of Korea or the main opposition Liberty

Korea Party.

The People's Party is already seen to have growing influence as the party with the deciding

vote -- and a merger will empower it even further.

At the same time, it will give the Bareun Party more say in parliamentary affairs...

after it recently lost its status as a negotiating bloc following the defection of several lawmakers

to the main opposition party.

cold but um I handled December a lot better I have two sons and one son his

birthday's December 23rd so we had a busy Christmas weekend but um let me go

over some things that had helped me manage through December and also things

I just helped me individually okay the first thing that I definitely I'm so

happy my sister told me to check out was a lot of fear Child's guided meditation

videos that she has now you can purchase her guided meditations but she is such a

sweetheart that she has a playlist on her YouTube channel that has a couple of

guided meditations I've already shared it with some of my friends and they've

messaged me back and be like oh my gosh that was so relaxing yeah a lot of Alana

Fairchild has awesome deck cards in awesome cottage meditation so she helped

me through December Thank You Alana the next thing that I enjoy doing and

finally getting off the ground was me and my sister started making cleansing

sprays well you know we did cleansing love and correct me sorsha I can't

remember divination I want to say but we're getting together to build up our

which eShop and we finally got some cleansing sprays done this is the one I

made so we all picked a spray picked a object that we wanted to do and I chose

cleansing because like cleansing is my thing I'm really excited that we were

able to start making things for our shop and you'll see a lot more I promise you

and where to buy and how to get a hold of them but it's all charged

it's got crystals in here and when I shake you can hear it

it's got crystals it's got one natural herbs in here that we've charged it's

I'm not going to go into too much detail but I'm excited in December that we got

to get together and we started making our shop products so I'm not gonna go to

big detail my next question it's getting that question and so the next thing that

helped me through a lot of December is my rainbow moonstone I feel like you

guys see this stone so much because this is like my life yeah it pretty much is

because of this stone it helped my empathic control itself because I work

at two schools and the days that were chaotic was like the

week before Christmas break and the week of Christmas break and there are

multiple times that I came home and my feminine side was just so emotional that

I could not control myself and I started taking my rainbow moonstone because I

wanted to balance my feminine and my masculine energy my feminine side which

is like the first time in a really long time was overpowering and like

everything was just a trigger I was crying I was irritable and this helped

me through the holidays which it's the holidays you miss your family when they

leave they're there or maybe having a rough time

rainbow moonstone really helped me through this holiday time to balance my

masculine fiddling feminine I felt more like myself a hundred percent and that

is what I needed like I love this I love the stone I just sit here and hold it I

need to get a palm stone of it but I have to this is my biggest one when I

need a really big boost I'm like I need the big boy now of course I said this in

my last video and I think I might video before that but every month I'm going to

say this book is amazing probably I don't know yet but 365 ways to raise

your frequency by Melissa Alvarez this book I have made it to the section that

it is now part 2 my spiritual path the first section for the start of the book

was just an introduction pretty much to find your awareness be aware of

everything but now that I'm on the spiritual path section like it is

touching me and connecting with me I recommend this book especially if going

down and reasoning and heightening your senses and your third eye and your

personal frequency is what you want to do this book is really good I found it

at Barnes & Noble but it is a Melissa Alvarez I share a couple of pages on my

Instagram every now and then I'm really feeling like Oh someone needs to read

this someone out there I know needs to read this and connect with this but I

really really really enjoyed that book in December it

helped me along my way to when I had my ups and downs so check out the other

YouTube that I've actually been really enjoying is from vortex success I will

link them down below they have really good subliminal message meditations the

it's it's just been so powerful now I will listen to their meditations when

I'm doing dishes I will listen when the kids are just

running around playing and they don't really want mommy to bother and I'll

just put some headphones on or sometimes I know it says that you should wear

headphones sometimes I'll just put it on the TV and let it play and we're all

listened to it but I'm not new to binary beats I've known about them for about a

year and a half now I just never really got into it until recently but binary

meats are are amazing there's many subjects that you can get

them on and you you normally want to wear headphones because when you put the

headphones on you have a message coming in one ear and the message and sound

coming through the other ear so it's getting both sides of your brain and

getting your brain to just kind of it's not really hypnosis but it's mentally

setting your brain where it needs to be whatever situation you're put in there's

a sleep one there's a relief stress one there's and opening your third eye one I

mean they offer a lot of different subliminal audio that I really enjoy

them they're probably the best one that I found on YouTube but like I said I I

will sometimes just turn it on and just have it for background music you don't

have to sit down and meditate with it you can just have it on and be doing

something throughout the day now me personally I feel like I can do

something else while I'm doing this other people say no no you have to just

sit down and meditate and just listen to it that's your personal preference but I

can be up and doing dishes and just focusing on that while I'm doing that

and then I will lay down and might have funds on this into it but you

should check out vortex success I'll link it down below that there three

meditations are really good and I don't know why I'm just now getting back into

it because I Kai said I've known about him for about a year and a half and I

just never I don't know it never clicks then but almost didn't it did so but it

helped me through December and it was actually one of my favorites so check

them out as well so I have been making jewelry for nine ten years now and I

have an Etsy shop of course and I've sold things locally I've done craft

fairs and shows and all this fun stuff but since I've had my youngest son which

is four years now I really got away from making jewelry I started going back to

my clothing making and every now and then I may make a bracelet for someone

but now that I'm kind of back into my swing of things and finding my path and

fighting Who I am I am gonna be pulling back into jewelry making a lot of it

will be with crystals like hematite and onyx and tiger's eye and so on and so

forth because I'm gonna add it into our which eShop with my sister's as well I

just made a bracelet for a friend that I'm mailing off to her it has amethyst

and hematite and rose quartz off to show a picture of that bracelet for you

because I did not bring it over here with me but I did make a new bracelet of

mine that I that you'll hear more about but I am gonna go back into making

jewelry I like making things a little bit differently because normally people

see these beads on like stretch cord I'm all about making a little bit more

elegant but then also having the energy set forth and what it's for so that is a

hematite and amethyst bracelet but I am gonna get back into joy making I forgot

how relaxing and fun it was for me and while I did it over you know the

stressful period of the year it really just brought me back down even if I was

having a rough day or I felt like things were going 100

a minute it really did just bring me back down so it was definitely a

favorite for me and I mean it's always been a favorite of mine for the past

like nine to ten years but being able to rediscover it I really enjoyed making it

the last but not least the greatest thing that I've always wanted and never

had why it took me so long to get one I don't know but I just got a Himalayan

Salt Rock limp my sisters and I found it a Walmart it was on sale for like 16

dollars it is adjustable light off to show it to you here

but yeah that's my lamp that I got and like I said the light is adjustable you

can turn it up really bright or turn it down really low and I loved

it I mean it I don't know why it's taking me so long to get one I've always

wanted one but I guess I just keep putting things off a lot because I don't

like splurging on myself I don't like buying myself things and I will put

things that I want like seriously on like a 5-10 year backburner sometimes

ten years I will find something else that oh my kids need this instead I

don't need that I can wait which I mean yes and no that's good

but it is very hard for me to do things for myself which is something I probably

need to get a little bit better at yeah but I'm I'm just happy that I finally

have one and I love it it has a beautiful glow when we turn the lights

off and it's just the lamp and we sit next to it I do have it in the living

room just because me and my kids and when people are over that's where we are

all the time and I have enough stuff in my bedroom that keeps me called cool

calm and collective so I wanted to have it where where my kids are a lot and

then of course when I have visitors over that they're getting the benefits of it

as well so that was my faves and shoutouts for from December and I'm

really excited to see what I'm connecting with this month and entirely

this whole year it's 2018 guys what so I want to thank

you guys for checking out this video you have a good rest of your day or night

U.S. President Trump tweets he "too has nuclear button, much bigger and powerful one" - Duration: 0:57.

Let's start with U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tweet on the North Korea issue.

Responding to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's New Year's address about him having a nuclear

button on his desk,...

President Trump has come out swinging in his now customary unconventional fashion.

Trump tweeted "Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him

that I too have a nuclear button."...

before adding that his nuclear button is (quote) "a much bigger and more powerful one",...

and that unlike Kim's,... his actually "works."

Trump's response to a statement from the North Korean leader again raises tensions in the

brewing confrontation between Washington and Pyongyang,... despite South Korea moving to

open talks with the regime.

Egypt extends state of emergency for three months - Duration: 0:41.

Egypt's president has issued a decree to extend a nationwide state of emergency for three

months as fears of terrorism still linger.

The country's state news agency said on Tuesday that the extension will start from the 13th

of this month in order to help tackle what it called the dangers and funding of terrorism.

Egypt first imposed the current state of emergency last April after two church bombings killed

at least 45 people.

It was extended twice - once in July and again in October.

The country faces an ISIS insurgency in the North Sinai region that has killed hundreds

of policemen, soldiers, and civilians.

No response yet from North Korea: Unification Ministry - Duration: 2:26.

The South Korean government is still waiting for a response from North Korea over Seoul's

proposed bilateral talks next Tuesday.

For more on the current situation we go over to our Ji Myung-kil who is on the phone for

us at the Unification Ministry.

Myung-kil fill us in.

Hello Mark.

Well, as you mentioned we haven't received a response from Pyongyang... yet.

The Unification Ministry did say the government was trying to make contact through a South-North

hotline at Panmunjeom, on the inter-Korean border, in the morning and in the afternoon...

and will continue to do so until there is a response.

Currently... inter-Korean communication channels have been cut off...

including a military hotline... in protest of Seoul's shutdown of the Kaesong Industrial

Complex in February 2016.

When asked what Seoul would do if Pyongyang does not give a reply... the unification ministry

spokesperson replied the government had high hopes that Pyongyang would respond to South

Korea's offer.

Seoul's offer for talks comes as North Korean leader Kim Jong-un said on New Year's Day

that his country was willing to participate in the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

Myung-kil... then if talks do take place...

what would likely be on the table for discussion?

Well... for now... it is hard to say what issues will be on the table for discussion

and to what extent, as the two sides would have to iron-out what topics are relevant

to the talks.

One thing up for discussion is... the North sending its athletes to Pyeongchang for the

Winter Olympics, which is due to start in a month.

It is possible that they would also discuss inter-Korean family reunions during the Lunar

New Year holidays which fall in February.

Now... last July...

Seoul had proposed for military talks to ease border tensions and holding reunions for families

separated by the Korean War... but that proposal was unanswered.

The unification ministry spokesperson however stressed the need to spur inter-Korean civilian

exchanges... although several South Korean civilian groups' bids for aid and exchanges

have been rejected by the North.

People begin the new year by donating blood - Duration: 2:11.

It's the start of the new year and many people are looking at ways to give back or do a little

"charity therapy."

There's a quick and easy way of helping out... giving blood.

Our Park Hee-jun dropped by a donation center in Seoul,... where she met with some people

who cherish the gift of life and the gift of sharing.

It's the start of a new year.

Many people are busy making New Year's resolutions and thinking of the changes they want to make

in their lives.

But some are already making changes that bring warmth to others and could even save someone's

life.

(standup) ed: Mark "Here at the Gangnam Blood Donation Center,

people are kick-starting the new year by donating their blood for people who desperately need

transfusions.

By donating blood, they're improving the lives of others, while doing something amazing for

2018."

People beginning their day by donating blood.

After going through some simple blood tests, they step into the clinic to begin their donation.

The center makes a lot of effort to make sure donors don't feel as if they are in a hospital

environment.

Some people are scared of needles, but nurses try their best to help the donors overcome

such fears.

This man is donating blood for the fourth time,... and regularly donates to help the

great number of people who need transfusions.

(Korean) "I realized that I hadn't done much to help

other people.

I saw on the news that there was a serious blood shortage, so I came to offer my help."

By investing a little bit of time and blood, they are contributing to securing blood supplies

that have dropped considerably in recent years.

They are also literally saving the lives of others in their community.

(Korean) "Donating blood is an act of kindness that

anyone can do easily and that can help other people.

I came here to donate my blood because I wanted to help those around me who are in need."

Blood banks see shortages especially in the winter, due to the cold temperatures and schools

having winter breaks-- meaning less donations from young people who make up a large proportion

of the donors.

But by making voluntary blood donations, these people are helping to reduce that shortage,

and are inspiring others to do an act of kindness for those in need.

Boosting job creation among SMEs key for 2018: experts - Duration: 1:57.

South Korea is expected to see steady economic growth this year.

But that growth might not be reflected in the job market,... as the number of jobs created

is expected to be at a similar level to 2017.

Song Ji-sun explains why.

Given the current growth trend...

South Korea's GDP per capita is expected to hit 30-thousand US dollars this year for the

first time in the country's history,... with economic growth continuing to stay in the

three-percent range growth for two consecutive years.

But that doesn't mean more people will find jobs this year.

The number of new jobs will only hover at around 300-thousand - a similar level as last

year.

Job prospects in the public sector look good - as the government has budgeted for hiring

new public workers - but it's not so bright for the private sector.

The raising of the minimum wage - now at seven dollars an hour, up 16 percent from 2017,

is considered a major factor.

(Korean) "Companies are likely to be reluctant to hire

new, young entry-level employees as they see more uncertainties that can raise employment

costs."

Experts say smaller companies are key for job creation,... as small and mid-sized companies

created over 2-million jobs in the past five years - accounting for 90-percent of new job

positions.

(Korean) "The government must push for further deregulation

for small and mid-sized companies so that they can create jobs in a sustainable and

stable manner."

They also point out that one-time incentives or temporary subsidies are not enough - and

practical incentives must reward companies that actively create jobs.

Chinese shipping company denies its ship used for North Korean trade - Duration: 0:53.

The ship manager of the Lighthouse Winmore, a tanker recently seized in South Korea for

alleged sanctions violations has denied any knowledge of the vessel's involvement in trade

with North Korean entities.

The deputy general manager of the Winmore's Chinese ship management firm told the South

China Morning Post that the company was unaware the tanker had been used to breach UN sanctions

imposed on North Korea.

He said the company just rents the ships out and are not aware of what goods the ship carry's

This Hong Kong registered shipping vessel was seized and inspected by South Korean customs

officials in late November for transferring 6-hundred tons of refined oil to a North Korean

ship on October 19th.

N. Korea could conduct another ballistic missile test within this week: U.S. officials - Duration: 2:07.

The U.S. ambassador to the UN said she's heard reports of a possible North Korean missile

test happening soon.

A couple of U.S. media outlets have reported... that Pyongyang is preparing to launch another

long-range missile... and the test could be carried out as early in the coming days.

Oh Jung-hee reports.

U.S. ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, told reporters... tougher measures need to be drawn

up against North Korea... should the regime conduct another ballistic missile test.

(English) 2134 "As we hear reports that North Korea might

be preparing for another missile test, I hope that doesn't happen.

But if it does, we must bring even tougher measures to bear on the North Korean regime.

// We will never accept a nuclear North Korea."

Her remarks come after some U.S. media outlets reported... that North Korea's getting ready

to conduct another missile test -- possibly later this week.

CBS News reported on Tuesday... that the North seems to be in the early stages of a launch

cycle for another intercontinental ballistic missile.

The activity was detected at the same site where the regime fired its Hwasong-15 ICBM

in late November -- some 30 kilometers north of Pyongyang.

And if there is to be a test,...

CBS reported... it's likely to be within this week or early next week.

Since last week, CNN has also reported... citing "multiple U.S. officials," that there

are new signs of the regime preparing for another missile test.

And it's not likely to be a satellite, but a ballistic missile.

Such signs come at a critical time on the Korean peninsula... when South Korea and all

the relevant parties in the region are trying to keep things calm... ahead of the PyeongChang

Winter Olympics to come in a month.

Through his New Year's address on Monday, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signaled that

he's willing to send a delegation to the Games... and Seoul offered to hold inter-Korean high-level

talks next Tuesday.

Court to review whether to issue arrest warrants for two opposition lawmakers - Duration: 1:00.

Two lawmakers from Korea's main opposition Liberty Korea Party could face arrest as early

as Wednesday evening.

The Seoul Central District Court began holding arraignment sessions this morning.... for

four-term lawmaker Choi Kyung-hwan... on suspicions of accepting bribes,... as well as two-term

lawmaker Lee Woo-hyun... on allegations he accepted illegal political funds.

The court will likely reach a decision on whether to issue arrest warrants later this

evening or early Thursday.

Prosecutors requested arrest warrants for the two back in December,... but the process

was delayed... as sitting lawmakers are immune from criminal prosecution or arrest while

a parliamentary session is open.

They can however, be arrested.... through a consent by a majority of fellow lawmakers....

reached through a vote.

The arrest motions were reported during last Friday's full parliamentary meeting,... but

a vote was not held since the December parliamentary session closed the same day.

U.S. responds to warming inter-Korean ties - Duration: 1:57.

The U.S. government has responded to North Korea's suggestion to open dialogue with South

Korea ahead of next month's PyeongChang Winter Olympics.

Washington says it will continue its policy of maximum pressure on North Korea and closely

cooperate with South Korea.

Park Soyun reports.

U.S. President Donald Trump is sounding open to the possibility of inter-Korean dialogue,...

after North Korean leader Kim Jong-un made a rare overture to South Korea in his New

Year's address.

Trump tweeted that the U.S.-led campaign of sanctions and other pressures on the regime

were beginning to have a "big impact" on North Korea.

Mentioning the possible dialogue between the two Koreas, Trump said it was "perhaps good

news, perhaps not-- we will see " The White House, however, seemed unmoved,...

with its press secretary saying that Washington's "policy on North Korea hasn't changed at all,...

and the U.S. will collaborate efforts with South Korea for a "unified response" to potential

inter-Korean dialogue.

The State Department, too, showed little enthusiasm, echoing its will to denuclearize the peninsula.

(ENGLISH:Edit No.2085) "If the two countries decide that they want

to have talks, that would be certainly their choice,...Kim Jong Un may be trying to drive

a wedge of some sort between the two nations, between our nation and the Republic of Korea.

I can assure you that that will not happen ... We are very skeptical of Kim Jong Un's

sincerity in sitting down and having talks.

In New York, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley ripped Kim Jong-un's seemingly

conciliatory gesture, calling it nothing more than a front.

(ENGLISH:Edit No.2134) "We don't think we need a Band-Aid and we

don't think we need to smile and take a picture.

So North Korea can talk with anyone they want, but the U.S. is not going to recognize it

or acknowledge it until they agree to ban the nuclear weapons that they have."

Haley added that North Korea could stage another missile test,... but gave no further details.

Iran's Supreme Leader blames 'enemies' for anti-government protests - Duration: 1:52.

The Supreme Leader of Iran has blamed the country's "enemies" for stirring up unrest

in the country.

Anti-government protests have been going on for a sixth day and have now left at least

21 people dead.

Ro Aram has more.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei finally broke his silence on Tuesday, accusing Iran's enemies of "joining

forces" with the Iranians, blaming them for protests turning violent.

(Reuters) Edit No2069 "....Look at the incidents in the past few

days All those who are against the Islamic Republic, those with cash, politics, weapons

and intelligence apparatus, join hands so they may be able to create troubles for the

Islamic regime...."

He did not mention any enemies by name but Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National

Security Council, said the United States, Britain and Saudi Arabia were behind the riots.

President Trump called the Iranian government "brutal and corrupt" in a second tweet on

Tuesday.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley also said Tehran's allegation that foreign enemies

were behind the protests was "complete nonsense.

The protests began last Thursday in the city of Mashad over the weak economy and a jump

in food prices.

They have since expanded nationwide with a more political agenda and have become the

largest challenge to Iran's clerical leadership since the country's disputed presidential

election in 2009.

Officials in the capital Tehran say more than 450 protesters were arrested there in the

last three days and hundreds more were detained around the country.

Judicial officials have said they would be severely punished; with one prominent judge

even warning that some could face the death penalty.

early whoa okay so as you can see I did a little bit of

Christmas shopping and other things especially for the channel so a couple

of the things that I got I thought you know I actually got it during Black Friday

but I held off on it because I was going through examinations and I didn't have time to go

everything but I held up off on it but I did end up going through some of the items because I was

an agony just waiting to open up each one of the boxes so I didn't open up

some of these things but I thought you know what for the channel I would open

everything again do an unboxing for you guys so that you can see what some of the

items I'll be using for to make new content so let's get right into it first

off we have well I think open this this one already these are the stands for the

lights that I have over here

thing about these lights is is they came to me broken so I'll show a picture of what happens when

to one of the light so I'm message the company emart and fortunately they were nice enough to

send me another like stance so I have that to pick up sometime I don't know

when seems to be having some complications where shipping is

concerned

the other one is okay

okay maybe I'll show you guys a video of how this is set up and yeah what should

I open next I guess I'll open these lights I don't

like you can see this I did unbox this one as well just isn't sure everything

was good but not the message you read smile and tell them anything

so here I just have a light so happy I mean I pretty much have good light in

here because as you can see from the video but I wanted to get better

lighting so what that's all for this all right

the fun thing about this light well something special is that it comes with

a remote I probably knew what it stuff as you can see it comes with a remote so

that if anything set on from afar already English shot and as precedent

really light settings on the light which is pretty cool it didn't come to

batteries but fortunately I had batteries of my own so put it inside

then it comes with a hot shot what shoe mount so you just put that in so I mean

if you wanna see something on top of this show some b-roll of him it comes

with this little stand so you can stick it all this if you wanted to to get a

good lighting but I'm gonna mow stuff on this one night stands I showed you guys

hot shoe mount this is the little paper that you can use a change angle so

that's that also these diffusers and shields whatever I

don't even want to use it our hearts who find out so that's it aside what else

what is this this is okay so this is me these are the batteries that come well

no actually I have to buy batteries separate for the light

these are swell unofficial Sony NPF batteries by d'Este I'll try to link

everything in the description below but essentially this would go into the path

of the light so I just just put it in and flip it in light comes on and you

see there is no reason some time you guys I'm sorry like I said you remote is

already batteries in the inviting me so I can just turn on and then we my should

be pretty light no okay okay all right I'm not to look at yet I don't know

I don't know where I came from but all right this is the plug this into your

you plug this into you your well any device that can take 3.5 millimeter jack

or it also has RCA cable jacket inputs so you can use that as well so if you're

looking for something I actually intend to buy new Logitech one but I end up

getting this one by accident if you went to my car found so I don't know how and

whatever all right SD cards for I've got a up as well for me because I got and

CDs of storage so this is gonna come in handy connect another sort command

laptop when he has 256 gigs hey I have a power outlet it has four four sockets

and then it has four USB so I like that I need a lot more USB ports so I really

should have gotten the six the six sockets which but I'm getting this so

what does be fine cuz I have a power strip probably I'll show you guys my

team on my desk for keeper management we have the main attraction what you all

been waiting for um so you can't see the camera using

right now but it's a Canon cyber-shot 25 a 2500 I think but I thought I should

upgrade to a camera off my Orkut is already my dad's known that I'm a new

things I thought I'd go with something a bit more revolutionary so

I got myself a Panasonic g85 despite my friends on here I forgot a cannon

yeah bargains on you okay well um isn't she beautiful

Oh baby yeah so she has of rotating screens I can flip it taught me vlog

what I'm not gonna do and I can see myself and hey guys so there's that

lens hood something so many on the box you know this that I had I already know

everything I'm going on here not to mention I open everything already

so no surprises for me I'm sorry you can see the excitement on my face but if you

had seen me when I first got it I immediately opened this one first

because this is like the main thing yeah so this is a 12 to 60 kit lens delineate

the mix I think it's like a I can do it all but this is the kit man that comes

with the camera so you connect the red dots boom and now you have a fancy 4k

camera so hopefully the content will be in better quality I had a really good

ring the lens is really good for the for the money best bang for buck you have

the cable charger and of course you have a strap oh and then you have the battery

so but I decide open this hand so you open that the latch at the bottom before

look on the side remove the SD card from the bottom to

the side because on the g7 the older model to this one that's how it was and

caused a lot of problems but people with tripods to be able to access it so now

they put it inside and then you just lock it in the battery oh boy there we

go and now wow this is going along than I expected but you know

I don't care so boom slip that in a Chow there you go we are now filming in 4k

should become an insulin and so hopefully I'll have but I don't talk

pretty hot shoe mount and I'll be giving you better or your quality although this

might set up is already good enough it's just that it's a little inconvenient at

the moment and how it sets up so yeah but this is the quality right now I

probably cut to this for a second and yeah that's it so far I hope that you'd
