japan's growth. one of the last remaining symbols in north korea has been shot down. the workers have left the kaesong complex in north korea. the workers that stayed behind so they could negotiate wages the north demanded, they returned home on friday after $13 million in cash was brought in across the border. last month, 53,000 north korea workers left the complex as tensions between the two countries reached a high point. government officials in seoul decided to pull out the hundreds of south korean workers after the north refused to discuss a resumption of operations. authorities in pyongyang have restricted entry to kaesong several times in the past. but this is the first time all south koreans have left since joint operations began in 2004. united nations staff in iraq

say april was the deadliest month there in five years. sectarian tensions are behind much of the bloodshed. representatives of the u.n. assistant mission for iraq say 712 people died last month in acts of terrorism and violence. the highest level of casualties happened in baghdad. members of the sunni muslim minority have clashed almost daily with security forces. they've been protesting against the shia muslim dominated government of prime ministerial malki. bombings have been carried out in baghdad. the explosions killed at least 8 people and wounded at least 38 others. the national leaders in

japan are reaches out to some of asia's most energized economies. finance ministers and central bank governors from japan signed an agreement at a meeting in india. it's the first time they held discussions. japanese aso attended the meeting. he stressed that the administration of abe considers the relationship particularly important. the participants agreed to make it easier for japanese companies to raise funds for local currencies. they also produced a plan that would see a liquidity in u.s. dollars to any country running short on the currency. after the talks, aso expressed hopes that the talks would have

a wide ranging impact. >> translator: the financial afwriemts we agreed upon are aimed at creating a win/win relationship by coordinating the needs of japanese firms and lenders with those of asean. >> aso added that they need to tap into the economic growth of asean. japan's trade minister is calling on brazil to of increase their business environment. he met his brazilian counterpart. brazil has been experiencing high growth ahead of the 2014 world cup and the summer olympics. buff the number of japanese firms operating there hasn't

increased over the years. one reason is that the tax system is too complicated. he's asking the brazilian government to review it and look at other changes that could improve the business environment. japan is viewed as an important trade partner. he indicated that the tax burden on brazilian companies is similar to that of foreign firms. people looking for work in the united states are seeing improvements. the latest figures show employers added more jobs than expected in april. and the unemployment rate hit more than a four year low. u.s. labor department spokespersons say the unemployment rate last month was 7.5%. that's down 0.1 percentage points. employers added 165,000 jobs in

the nonfarm sector. analysts had expected about 150,000. employment opportunities increased in professional and business services and health care and places where people eat and drink. payroll in the manufacturing sector was flat. economists see positive signs in this latest job report. but they point to a couple of details that show that the u.s. labor market is still burdened with challenges. >> the april employment report showed a pickup in job creation, not only were the april figures somewhat above expectations, but there was also surprisingly upward pro investigations the past two months. after today's report we see that the six month average gain in employment is 208,000. now in terms of whether that will continue, the overall report actually suggests that labor demand is somewhat

moderate. one sign that's somewhat discouraging is labor participation continues to fall. so in terms of federal reserve policy, i believe they will think carefully before considering any pull back in monetary accommodation. it's likely that they'll wait for a few more months since signals on the labor market do remain mixed. here's the three day world weather forecast.
