About a million people in the U.S. state of South Carolina have been ordered to evacuate

ahead of a powerful hurricane.

For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram….

Aram… what's the latest?

Well Mark…

Hurricane Florence has turned into a Category 4 storm and is expected to make landfall on

Thursday.

Weather experts say it has the potential to be the most powerful storm to take aim at

the U.S. mainland this year.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has ordered the mandatory evacuation of the state's

entire coastline, which spans eight counties.

Evacuations are to start at noon on Tuesday, local time, and neighboring North Carolina

and Virginia have declared states of emergency, with evacuation orders already in place.

Florence is packing winds of 209 kilometers per hour and is expected to gain strength

as it strikes the Carolinas by Thursday.

Forecasters say the storm could reach the highest strength reading of Category 5 upon

landfall.

Along with blasting winds, Florence is expected to bring flooding to coastal and inland regions

due to prolonged heavy rain.

Meanwhile, President Trump has cancelled plans for a rally on Friday in Mississippi because

of the hurricane.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo is due to leave Seoul today... after spending three

days in South Korea on a state visit.

He sat down for talks with President Moon Jae-in on Monday, touching on topics mainly

linked to economic cooperation.

Hwang Ho-jun reports.

A visit in return,...10 months after President Moon Jae-in made Jakarta the destination for

his first state visit as President.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo sat down with his South Korean counterpart at the Blue

House on Monday,... and the two agreed to boost their special strategic partnership

to a new level.

"We have confirmed our deep friendship and trust in celebration of the 45th anniversary

of our diplomatic ties.

We think great progress has been made since we declared a joint vision in our summit last

November, and we have agreed to expand the scope and depth

of said agreement.

The name of the game was economic cooperation.

During their joint press conference,... the two leaders decided to further facilitate

high-level exchanges and policy consultations, while also boosting trade between their countries.

According to President Moon, the trade volume between South Korea and Indonesia reached

9.8 billion dollars in the first half of this year.

And he confirmed that he and President Widodo agreed to try and increase that number to

30 billion by the year 2022.

They also agreed to expand bilateral cooperation in areas such as digital startups... using

information and communication technology, while continuing cooperation in the infrastructure

and clean energy sectors.

Accordingly, the leaders witnessed the signing of MOUs for the two countries in sectors including

immigration control, economy, maritime security and research on industrial innovation.

The Blue House confirmed that President Moon also briefed his Indonesian counterpart on

the recent situation on the Korean Peninsula and asked him for Indonesia's continued support

and cooperation for denuclearization and the establishment of permanent peace.

Throughout the day, President Moon made it clear that Indonesia is one of South Korea's

key partners.

For the first time in Korea's modern history, South Korea's first couple greeted the Indonesian

first couple with a special ceremony at Changdeokgung Palace on Monday morning.

One of the "Five Grand Palaces" in Seoul,.... and also a registered world heritage site,...

Changdeokgung is known as the place where the kings of the Joseon Dynasty would discuss

state Aaffairs with their officials and would receive foreign envoys.

President Moon also hosted a state dinner at the Blue House in the Indonesian leader's

honor.

After dinner,... as part of an event designed to promote friendship between the two leaders,...

Presidents Moon and Widodo made a short visit to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza, which is where

the main press center for next week's inter-Korean summit in Pyeongyang will be set.

With President Widodo's visit, Indonesia has become the first of the ASEAN nations to have

exchanged state visits with South Korea since President Moon took office.

(Staying with weather-related news...)

The World Meteorological Organisation says there's a 70 percent chance of another El

Nino event developing over the next three months.

This irregular phenomenon was last seen two years ago and made headlines for being the

cause of extreme weather patterns around the world.

El Nino is triggered by fluctuating ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific, which

can trigger drought in some regions and heavy rain in others

The previous El Nino was said to be the strongest ever recorded, but the WMO says the upcoming

one will not be as powerful.

The UN body added that climate change is influencing the traditional dynamics of these weather

events.

[Monitor beeping steadily, respirator hissing]

The doctor tells me your fever has gotten worse.

[Beeping, hissing continues]

They say this infection may kill you.

Even if it doesn't...

my doctor tells me again and again

that you may never wake.

And yet I wait.

[Breathes deeply]

I grew up quite poor.

We lived in the hills,

in a place my brothers built from things they found --

metal sheeting, plywood.

When it rained, it smelled like hay.

We were always hungry.

But there was a lucuma tree, scrawny, barely alive.

My family had given up on it years before.

Never bore fruit.

When I was 7, I became fixated on it.

I watered it, tended to it.

It took a long time,

but the buds grew into green fruit.

I was so proud.

I didn't tell anyone.

I plucked one and hid behind our shack.

I ate the whole thing.

I'd never tasted something so sweet.

It was like caramel.

At first, we ate the fruit ourselves,

and then I began taking it to the village to sell.

[Telephone rings in distance]

One day, much of the fruit was gone from my tree.

[Beeping, hissing continues]

Pieces were scattered on the ground, half-eaten.

I thought it was probably a coati.

Have you ever seen one?

About the size of a large housecat.

Opportunists.

I built a snare using branches and wire.

It didn't take long for the animal to set it off.

But the coati thrashed so hard,

it broke out of the snare...

broke its leg, as well.

I tried to grab it, but it slipped away.

It ran under the house.

I knew it would show itself sooner or later.

So I waited...for hours, into the night.

When my brothers called for me...

I did not answer.

I didn't make a sound.

I was so still.

Finally, it came out.

It knew I was there, but it was hungry.

[Beeping, hissing continues]

This time, I was ready.

I caught it.

It fought me.

But I was stronger.

♪♪

The merciful thing would have been to kill it.

♪♪

I kept it.

It lived for quite some time.

♪♪

I believe you will wake, Hector.

♪♪

Trump receives 'very warm and positive' letter from North Korean leader: White House - Duration: 2:14.

Let's start with the latest development in North Korea-U.S. diplomacy.

The White House has confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump has received another letter from

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Kim says he wants to meet President Trump

again to discuss the ongoing efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

"Very warm" and "very positive".

These are the words White House Spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders used on Monday to describe

the letter President Trump received from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,... calling for

a second meeting between the two leaders.

"Yeah, the president has received the letter from Kim Jong Un.

It was a very warm, very positive letter.

We won't release the full letter unless the North Korean leader agrees that we should.

The primary purpose of the letter was to request and look to schedule another meeting with

the president, which we are open to and are already in the process of coordinating that."

Just last week,...

President Trump revealed he was expecting a letter from the North Korean leader amid

stalled negotiations to dismantle the regime's nuclear weapons program.

Asked whether a potential second summit could take place in Washington,... the White House

said the U.S. would be keen on hosting it on home ground.

"We will let you know when we have further details, but certainly something that we want

to take place, and we will, already continue to work on making that happen."

President Trump and Kim held their first summit in Singapore in June.

At the time,... North Korea committed to work toward the "complete denuclearization" of

the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees from the U.S..

However, negotiations to implement the deal have appeared to hit an impasse,... as Washington

demanded a full inventory of Pyeongyang's nuclear arsenal,... while the regime insisted

on first declaring a formal end to the Korean War.

With another inter-Korean summit kicking off in the North Korean capital in exactly a week,...

the latest development has many asking whether there will be a second North Korea-U.S. summit

soon after.

U.S. State Dept. says it will respond accordingly were Kim Jong-un not to denuclearize - Duration: 0:41.

The U.S. State Department said it will "respond accordingly", were North Korea not to keep

its promise to denuclearize, in response to a news report that Pyeongyang had been ramping

up efforts to conceal its nuclear activity.

According to VOA News on Tuesday, an official from the U.S. State Department said, (quote)

"We take Kim Jong-un at his word that he intends to denuclearize.

If we find that is not the case, we will respond accordingly."

The response comes after NBC News, citing three senior U.S. officials, reported that

North Korea has been building structures to obscure the entrance to a warhead storage

facility.
