Waching daily Jul 25 2018

We start with what could be a fresh sign that North Korea is dismantling MORE of its missile-related

facilities... as part of its denuclearization agreement with the United States.

VOA News reports that satellite images from a U.S.-based Earth imaging company, Planet,

shows a facility used to assemble parts for the regime's ICBM arsenal has been torn down.

The facility, which used to be in a car factory in the northwestern city of Pyongsong, was

still in one piece until late last month, but had disappeared in the satellite image

taken last Friday.

But considering how the same facility was previously dismantled and rebuilt in just

a couple of days, it remains to be seen if it has been completely and irreversibly razed.

This report comes a matter of days after North Korea-monitoring website 38 North released

satellite images that appear to show the North has dismantled its Sohae Satellite Launching

Station in Pyonganbuk-do Province.

Trump hails dismantling of North Korean missile test site - Duration: 2:12.

U.S. President Donald Trump is patting himself on the back after reports that North Korea

is tearing down one of its key missile sites.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also called the development "consistent" with recent commitments

made by Pyongyang.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

U.S. President Donald Trump has welcomed reports that North Korea has started to dismantle

a key missile testing site in line with a pledge North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had

made at their historic summit in Singapore last month.

Speaking at an event in Missouri on Tuesday,...

President Trump hailed a recent report from 38 North, a U.S.-based website analyzing satellite

imagery of the North,... which assessed that Pyongyang has begun taking apart facilities

at its Sohae Satellite Launching Station.

The report comes as progress appeared sluggish on plans to implement a nuclear deal reached

by the two leaders in their meeting last month.

Trump had vehemently denied reports he was frustrated with the pace of the negotiations,...

tweeting on Monday that he was "very happy" with how they were going.

President Trump also voiced hope that North Korea will deliver on its promise to return

the remains of American soldiers killed in the North during the Korean War.

U.S. and North Korea officials have held several meetings to discuss the return of the remains,...

with some media outlets reporting the first group will be delivered on Friday.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also praised the latest report of North Korea's missile

test site dismantlement after his meeting with his Australian counterpart in California,...

saying it's "consistent" with a commitment Pyongyang made in Singapore.

" So we've seen the open press reporting about the missile engine test site, it'd be entirely

consistent with the commitment that Chairman Kim made to President Trump when the two of

them were in Singapore together, made that commitment to them orally."

When asked what further steps were needed by North Korea,... the top U.S. diplomat stated

the North needs to "completely, fully denuclearize",... as that's what Kim Jong-un committed to.

The latest report is welcoming news for both the U.S. and South Korea,...

as the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula appears that little more likely.

S. Korea's consumer sentiment plunges to 15-month low in July - Duration: 1:37.

Consumer confidence in South Korea plunged in July due largely to growing concerns about

the escalating trade war between Washington and Beijing... and signs of an economic slowdown

in Korea.

Our Kim Hyesung reports.

South Korea's consumer sentiment in July fell by the steepest margin in 20 months to record

an index score of 101.

That's down 4-point-five points from June.

It's also the lowest figure since April 2017 when the country was rattled by a corruption

scandal that eventually brought down the former Park Geun-hye administration.

The Bank of Korea attributed the slide to the escalating trade spat between the U.S.

and China.... and to Korea's sluggish job growth.

The fight between Korea's top two trading partners and the growing protectionism between

the U.S. and the EU are increasing the downside risk to Korea's export-driven economy.

Sluggish employment figures added to concerns of a possible economic downturn, hurting consumer

sentiment.

Between January and June, a monthly average of 142-thousand new jobs were added-- the

slowest growth since the 2008 global financial crisis.

The sub-index for households' economic outlook fell nine points to 87, and the sub-index

on current economic conditions fell seven points.

Despite the government's efforts to create jobs and boost wages, outlook on job opportunity

dropped six points to 87, the lowest figure since April 2017.

The expected inflation rate for the following year stood the same as in June at two-point-six

percent.

Hundreds reported missing, several dead in Laos following hydro-power dam collapse - Duration: 1:35.

Turning to a tragic disaster in Southeast Asia....

A hydroelectric dam,... under construction in Laos.... by a joint venture comprising

of a Korean builder... has collapsed.

The dam failure caused massive flooding,... leaving several dead and hundreds unaccounted

for.

Kim Hyo-sun reports.

Hundreds of people are reported missing in southern Laos after a hydro-power dam which

was under construction collapsed Monday evening,... leading to flash floods that swept away six

nearby villages.

The ( - ) Xepian-Xe Nam Noy hydropower plant in Attapeu province, in southeast of the country,...

was being built by a joint venture comprising South Korea's SK Engineering and Construction

and its partners from Laos and Thailand, and was expected to go into full operation next

year.

Several people have been reported dead,... while over six thousand have been displaced.

While initial media reports say one of the dams under construction collapsed,... the

Korean builder said it's checking to see whether the dam actually broke or if it was swept

over by heavy rainfall that hit the region recently.

"We've seen some really heavy rainfall here recently.

One of the five auxiliary dams failed due to a massive buildup of rainwater."

SK E&C says it's supporting the local government's rescue operations by establishing a crisis

management team to respond quickly to the disaster and dispatching Thailand-based helicopters

to rescue stranded people.

The number of foreign tourists who visited South Korea in June is up nearly thirty percent

from the same period last year.

According to the Korea Tourism Organization, almost 1.3 million people visited Korea in

June.

tourists, and forty percent increase in Japanese visitors compared to the previous year.

Visitor numbers from Taiwan and Hong Kong were also up 32 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

Meanwhile, the number of tourists from the U.S. and Europe jumped by six percent compared

Trump administration announces US$12 billion aid plan for American farmers - Duration: 2:06.

The Trump administration has announced plans to provide billions of dollars to help American

farmers... amid Washington's escalating trade disputes with other countries.

President Trump tweeted on Tuesday "tariffs are the greatest"... but a sizable portion

of Americans seem to disagree with him on the matter.

Kan Hyeong-woo reports.

The Trump administration has revealed a twelve billion dollar plan to help American farmers,...

who have been hit by the U.S. President's intensifying trade war with other countries.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said on Tuesday that the emergency relief aid is a

firm statement that other nations cannot bully U.S. agricultural producers to force the administration

to back down from its hardline stance.

Several countries and regions, including China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico,...

have imposed heavier duties on U.S. imports in retaliation to President Trump's tariff

policies.

Trump, however, appears unfazed,.. tweeting that "tariffs are the greatest" and "either

a country which has treated the United State unfairly on trade negotiates a fair deal or

it gets hit with tariffs."

"So the way we keep America great is to make at least reasonable, I'm not saying at least

reasonable, at least fair trade deals not stupid trade deals like we've put up with

for 25 years, so we're changing it and we're changing rapidly."

But some Republicans disagree with the president.

"I've made it pretty clear, I don't think tariffs are the right answer.

I don't support tariffs.

I think tariffs are taxes and I think there are better tools that we can use to hold abusers

of trade laws"

Almost half of the American public also disagree with the Trump administration's trade policy.

According to a joint poll by NBC and the Wall Street Journal, 49 percent of respondents

said Trump's tariff plan will raise the costs of goods and hurt the economy.

A quarter said the tariffs will protect American jobs and help the economy.

China set to improve fiscal policy amid trade war with U.S. - Duration: 2:34.

China announced a mix of tax cuts and infrastructure spending as it ramps up efforts to stimulate

demand and counteract a weakening economy,... citing "uncertainty."

Such fiscal measures are fueling speculation that the authorities are concerned the trade

war with the U.S. will exacerbate a domestic slowdown.

Ko Roon-hee explains.

Amid its trade war with the United States, China has unveiled new measures to prevent

economic slowdown by boosting domestic demand.

According to China's state radio on Monday, Premier Li Keqiang announced at a cabinet

meeting that the fiscal policy will become more active…and will focus on cutting taxes

for companies that are spending money on research and development.

The Chinese government is expected to provide tax cuts of 9.6 billion U.S. dollars this

year.

In terms of the monetary policy, the Cabinet said it will speed up the issuing of special

bonds to finance local government infrastructure projects.

The government also promised loans for about 150-thousand small firms each year.

Meanwhile…

The People's Bank of China set the yuan midpoint rate at 6-point-7891 against the U.S. dollar

Tuesday…its weakest since July 2017.

Although some say the yuan's depreciation is partially the result of Chinese policies,

an economic expert says there are other external factors.

"Because the U.S. economy is doing so well, there is a good chance that the Fed will keep

raising the interest rates.

And the interest rate differential between U.S. and China will also depreciate the yuan

even without the efforts by China.

So, I think the yuan depreciation is the result of policies from both countries…rather than

due to just one country."

This expert believes China aims to boost domestic demand and increase exports for overall economic

growth.

"GDP consists of domestic spending plus exports.

And because the Chinese growth rate seems to be slowing down..it will be in their interest

to increase both domestic expenditures and exports to maintain their GDP growth."

The moves come during the escalating trade conflict between the United States and China…

which have so far imposed tariffs on 34-billion dollars worth of each other's goods.

WHY I MIGHT BE GOING VEGAN 80 10 10 - Duration: 4:33.

excuse me I couldn't talk for a minute I was drinking one of my juices that I

just made so liberating to drink a fresh juice every single day it just gives me

so much energy so getting on the topic at hand why we're here

I basically was supposed to be doing a six day drive fast and I had a change of

plans because of the simple fact that I am now dealing with my anxiety again and

this is mainly because I was on a raw regiment 448 with the juice cleanse and

then towards the end with the option to have a meal which was raw fruits and

vegetables that I was eating and I felt wonderful now I've been on solid food

since being off of the juice cleanse that I did four hundred four days for

about 90 days now and basically I started getting those anxiety and panic

attack feelings again and I was like I just I can't I can't do this I was like

eating processed foods again without even you know even being aware of it and

you're eating meat products and cook foods and you're starting to feel like

shit now and I honestly didn't think I was going to be going this this route

but I'm probably eventually I said eventually going to be vegan because he

excuse me um that's the only thing that works for me that's the only thing that

makes me feel good I don't have panic attacks I want to be in

not sleeping problems I don't have hunger problems it's like my body is on

a reset one of my raw fruits and vegetables and that's the only thing

that works me I still do eat eggs and cheese and I do still also have you know

seafood products but if I have to give those up if things don't get better now

then I'll just have to give them up because my health is more important than

anything so that's why I didn't do the six day drive fast with them because

when you're on a drive fast the harsh reality of it is fasting can you know we

also stressful experience and when you're already stressed and you know

you're trying to get the body you know back functioning normal you know me have

any anxiety and stuff I don't think that that's the best thing to be doing is

doing a fast so that's why I decided just decide back on my raw eating and

drinking my juices until you know everything goes back to normal my

hormone levels get back to normal but I just have to I think you know become

vegan like I said still having dairy products but raw fruits and vegetables

that's the only thing that works for me and I just got to do what I have to do

you only live once man you just want to feel good in your own skin while you're

here life is too short you know and you just gotta make the best of it and I'm I

do believe in that saying you are what you eat so you know if if fruits and

vegetables is what makes me feel whole what even if it's what makes me feel

better than I'm just gonna have to do what I have to do so that I can be

healthy so I don't want to make this video too long
