in south korea? i searched on the internet before my arrival to south korea. of course, the policy of equal treatment for north korean defectors in south korea, but as for high delete defectors, i think we should make a if theyade law so that make the exit of north korean elite for defection, i think we should upgrade more the current treatment of the policies of north korea's elite group. a country like north korea can be easily collapsed if the group of elites leaves that system. >> thank you. you also talked about the thumb drives that young people can hide. that is just a mechanism to get more information into the mass population of north korea. others have touched on it a little bit. can you expand about some of the most important messages we need to communicate to the people of north korea to try to unravel the brainwashing coming from the kim regime, and expose north koreans to what is the reality in their country, but also the reality in south korea and the rest of the world? >> we can make t

why did he come to south dakota? we always knew the story, and so it was an interesting read, and there are lots of stories that historyt our state's that do not get told and need to get cold, and i'm glad somebody took the time to research that until that one. do you see south dakota going in the future, and maybe since we are here in sioux falls, talk about sioux falls as well. senator thune: sioux falls has become a powerful economic engine, and not just for south dakota. it is a regional -- it is a hub. i thought a little bit about tech and financial services, and agriculture, we have tremendous health care footprints here. it is a huge driver of jobs in our economy. so we got to bang major health care systems that are very regional, and we have become a hub in terms of shopping. so the city continues to grow. and i was a kid, these used to come down here for basketball tournament, and i think at that time sioux falls was 75,000 people. now this area is 250,000 people. it is really growing. -- it is a great workf

deficit with south korea.nk he is probably going to press on procurement issues and he will also i think deliver pressure on the south korea president to find other products to buy actually energy is one area where the u.s. might where south korea might be able to make additional purchases that would help to close the definition. >> so gordon, as they walk into the blue house the president and south korean's president moon moving closer to the blue house. they've been involved in a welcoming ceremony. what do you think will be the difference between what is spoke about privately and publicly in the press conference that follows? >> i think there will be an enormous gap. president trump has effectively boxed in moon preventing moon from doing what he would like to do. moon ran on a campaign of moving south korea closer to north korea and he has not been able to do that. part is because north korea an leader kim jong-un has engaged in provocative behavior. and also because of some diplomacy on the part of presid

dakota or outside of south dakota about what matters in south dakota? sen. thune: it is important for people who come from more populated areas to understand what makes us tick out here. there is -- agriculture is our number one industry. my involvement legislatively centers around the agricultural committee. i've been on the committee the entire time i have been in congress. i now chair committee which has a big impact on the landscape in all modesta because of transportation, planes, trains, automobiles, it is technology, the internet, high-speed internet delivered to rural areas of the country. to help people understand that the way of life that we have out here and how important it is to the national narrative. sometimes people live in populated centers of the country forot have appreciation rural areas of the country and how important they are to us and to our national success and our national prosperity. an elected official is to try and share that message colleagues and appreciation for what makes south dakota tech, what makes and how weica tick

black voting in the south, though it was reduced after the troops came out of the south, did not and with the fall of reconstruction in 1877. a majority of african americans still voting in the south in 1880. many blacks continued to sit in state legislatures and local offices. it really wasn't until 1890 that the precipitous decline began. formal disfranchisement took many forms. i won't run through all of them. residency requirements would penalize itinerants. secret ballot laws functioned as quasi-literacy tests because you had to be able to read and mark your ballot without assistance. disenfranchisement for crime was gerrymandered to reflect white perceptions of black criminal propensities. most of southern states use literacy tests which would disproportionately disqualify illiterate blacks, even if they were fairly implied. local registrars had tremendous discretion in how they administered literacy tests, which meant they were going to administer them to exclude lacks even if they were -- exclude blacks even if they were literate. there were poll taxes as voting restrictions.

those rockets have not come down this far south yet. they have had plenty of them at da nang. >> the surprising thing is not that this happens, but that it is does not happen more often. this was da nang air base the night of the 15th of july. the first rocket hit at 10 minutes after midnight. in just a few seconds, 22 aircraft were in flames, eight men were dead, 140 marines and airmen injured. 13 barracks were destroyed. damage was estimated between $25 million and $50 million. it was the most costly of the many attacks the communists have launched against american installations in vietnam. the trouble is we build such juicy targets. nang complex. drop a rocket anywhere within several square miles down there, you're bound to hit an airplane, a warehouse, a barracks, an ammunition dump, or a ship. an american general admits it is still easy for a couple of guerrillas to cause $50 million worth of damage. the best defense is still an old-fashioned one, the infantry patrol. elements of three marine regiments spend all their time trying t

we have the issue of trade, it's important to south dakota, two south -- to agriculture generally. withwe talk about trade asia, transpacific partnership, nafta, bilateral trade agreements, those are vitally important to the future of agriculture. agriculture, we are in the biofuels industry out here, you can raise corn, feed it to livestock. obviously there are many uses to it, one of those is fuel. we want to look at ways to open up more markets, increased the demand for our agricultural products that help make farmers, ranchers, and our economy more prosperous. i would argue it makes the entire country more prosperous. >> as chairman of the commerce committee, can you tell us what you are most concerned about and what you are working on in regards to south dakota? and sioux falls, for that matter. >> i have seen the opportunity to be involved in a number of significant infrastructure issues. the market transportation system, about one third of all of the rows of crops we plant and of being exported. we have to get to the pacific northwest, we need trucks, rail, ships. wherever t

beijing is boldly extending claims to the south china sea. it's doing so through an enormous land reclamation project, dredging the sea floor to build islands. - it's very difficult for any foreign policy analyst to get to the core of what drives current chinese behavior. i think number one is this, the chinese have long held a view that this is part of their sovereign territory in territorial seas, goes back not just decades but centuries. - let me make this clear. the south china sea islands have been china's territory since ancient times. it is the bounds of duty of the chinese government to uphold china's territorial sovereignty and legitimate maritime rights and interests. - this is the rejuvenation of the chinese nation, and getting back what has been stolen from china, i believe, is part of realizing that dream. - they've been methodically re-acquiring china, tibet, macau, hong kong, taiwan waiting, and this can be seen as part of what they regard as a legitimate acquisition of territory and seas that were taken from them illegally and

this is almost an entirely south vietnamese army show. than's never been more there,rican brigade down put in.ore may be the the south vietnamese army is mounting larger operations in the delta and reporting diminished effectiveness, but they have made slow headway in winning back the populated areas. in some only modest progress down here so far, things have gone somewhat better in the third tour, which includes the capital of saigon. three u.s. divisions and the u.s. per gauge, plus three south vietnamese divisions have been busy here. the threat to saigon itself has measurably decreased. more population has been brought under government control, and u.s. commanders think we are poised for even better things. however, the first division has had a bloody encounter with the revised viet cong 271st regiment, which shows the enemy is by no means ill-equipped. the most solid games of all have been made in the second core area. here, our big unit actions in the wide-open bases of two corps have, for the time being, at least, gains the upper h

western and south korean music is banned. possession of foreign media is a crime punishable by death. citizens spy on fellow citizens. their homes are subject to search at any time and their every action is subject to surveillance. in place of a vibrant society, the people of north korea are bombarded by state propaganda practically every waking hour of the day. north korea is a country ruled as a cult. at the center of this military cult is a deranged belief in the leader's destiny to rule as parent protector over a conquered korean peninsula, and an enslaved koreanan people. the more successful south korea becomes, the more decisively you discredit the dark fantasy at the heart of the kim regime. in this way, the very existence of a thriving south korean republic threatens the very survival of the north korean dictatorship. this city, and this assembly are living proof that a free and independent korea not only can, but does stand strong, sovereign and proud among the nations of the world.

the regime has made numerous lethal incursions in south kore south korea, attempted to assassinate senior leaders, attacked south korean ships, and tortured otto warmbier, ultimately leading to that fine young man's death. all the while, the regime has pursued nuclear weapons with the diluted hope that it could blackmail its way to the ultimate objective. that objective, we are not going to let it happen. all of korea is under that spell divided in half. south korea will never allow what is going on in north korea to continue to happen. the north korean regime has pursued its nuclear and ballistic missile programs in defiance of every assurance, agreement, and commitment it has made to the united states and its allies. it has broken all of those commitments. after promising to freeze its plutonium program in 1994, it repeated the benefits of the deal. and then, and then, immediately continued its illicit nuclear activities. in 2005, after years of diplomacy, the dictatorship agreed to ultimately abandon its nuclear programs and return to the treaty on nonproliferation. but it never did, a

in south korea and that's where we begin. moments from now, president trump is set to hold a news conference with president moon jae-in. they sat down with north korea at the top of the agenda. >> north korea answered the e set of sanctions with a fresh provocation. they said as long as the u.s. and its allies continue their hostile acts, they will treasurer their nuclear sort of justice. let's turn to senior white house corresponde correspondent. jeff zeleny in seoul. >> as you said in a few minutes time here, the two leaders will be holding the joint news conference, president trump and president moon. they've been having meetings for several hours now here in seoul. of course, north korea the rising nuclear threat is at the center of their discussions here. but a short time ago president trump expressed a bit of optimism about those talks. let's watch. >> we'll be meeting with the various generals about the situation in north korea. and i think we're going to have lots of good answers for you over a period of time, and ult

they are going to move those hogs south into virginia. they've captured thousands of head of cattle. they are going to literally have a colorado cattle drive into the south sa lee moves the supplies he has captured to mountain passes. he has got horses, he has got cattle and he will have these huge herds of animals along with the wagon trains of food, supplies and equipment issues and clothing that is moving south. his objectives and coming to gettysburg was to get supplies. and he's going to leave gettysburg with all of the supplies they fit captured during -- they have captured during the invasion of pennsylvania which was two weeks old. now, he not only fights a three-day battle but prior to that he has captured thousands and thousands of supplies. they estimate that just the, the line of wagons and soldiers in all of those supplies stretches for another 40 miles. so, he's got literally mile after mile after mile. of course, he is going over rough roads. many of them roads are dirt roads. to make matters worse as the two weygand trains

south korea, republic of korea, korea is very important to me, and there will be no skipping south korea. i can tell you that right now. plus i've developed great friendships not only with the president but with others. and we're not going to let them down. and they're not going to let us down because we're doing a lot for them to be honest. we're doing a lot for them. as far as the base is concerned, i thought that humphreys was an incredible military installation. i know what it cost, and it's a lot of money. we actually spent some of that money. as you know, that money was spent for the most part to protect south korea, not to protect the united states. but some of that money was spent by us. that being said, that was long before my time, and i'm sure i could have built it for a lot less. that's what i do. thank you. >> translator: we'll have some supplementary remarks. today president trump visited the military base, and his visit shows -- through his visit, we were able to show that korea is making significant -- huge contributions to the alliance. i hope that has been felt by presi

the south will want to know that the south will want to know that the south will want to know that theiteral fire and fury rhetoric which mr trump has been using. he told the un he could destroy north korea if it attacked the us with nuclear weapons. he talked about fire and fury and there is some suggestion he will talk directly to the north korean people, as it were, with his message. he has said he wa nts with his message. he has said he wants the entire world to stop trading with north korea. so far we think that china, is next destination, has refused to stop trading entirely with north korea but more could emerge on that in the next pa rt but more could emerge on that in the next part of his tour. we have been reporting during the day mr trump's remarks before all this. he did urge north korea to come to the table and make a deal to end the nuclear stand—off. that of course a very different tone from what we have been hearing up until now. we know as well that he made two attempts to reach the demilitarised zone, which has been felt to be quite a big deal. a lot of reporters hopi

he barnstormed through south dakota at e time. he made 27 stops in south dakota in about two days taking the trades around. they did whistle stop tours and teddy roosevelt loved doing these. he especially loved being out here in the dakotas and have this place in north dakota. coming up, i wanted to point out to you this statue, it is on a bluff overlooking the big sioux river. over there about eight miles or less would be the state of file -- the state of iowa. straight ahead that way, about 18 miles is the state of minnesota, so you're kind of at this junction of minnesota, iowa and south dakota. you have a very midwestern spot for you and a very nice view of the river valley. i also wanted to point out this memorial, which was put up by the minnehaha academy historical society and its related plaque. the plaque is designed to help people remember the consequences of what was called the great sioux uprising for the settlement at sioux falls. in 1862, there was a rebellion theantee siouxby by the settlers who were pushing into th

my future in south korea. i searched all the content of thee internet but prior to my arrival in south korea by god information. of course there are general policies of equal treatment for north korean sectors in south korea but as for highly effective i think we should make taylor made a law so if we make the exit of north korean entities for defection i think we should upgrade the policies of north korea's group because country like north korea can be easily coalesced if the group of elites believed that system. >> thank you. you also talked about i like the eu described the thumb drives so that young people can hide but that's just a mechanism to get more information into the mass population of north korea. could you expand a bit about some of the most important messages we need to communicate to the people of north korea to try to unravel the brainwashing that is coming from the camera shame and expose north koreans the reality within their country but also the reality of south korea and the rest of the wo

you mentioned the south korean president. in today's paper -- the new york times, it talks a bit about that. it says he won the presidency promising a shift towards dialogue with north korea. he argues sanctions and pressure alone would never persuade north korea. he pledged to say no to the americans if necessary. six months after south korea's president returned to the nations -- returned the nations liberals to power, his plans to ease tensions on the peninsula have gone nowhere. president trump is doubled down -- has doubled down on sanctions in the standoff with the north. he dismissed talk to the waste of time and stepped up military drills that rattled the region with threats. talk more about the role of south korea. how do you expect that the play out over this trip? guest: south korea is a very important ally. it hosts 28,500 american service people. it is a treaty ally of the united states. president moon -- i thought it was a good article. he came to power just a few months ago seeking more engagement with north ko

on wednesday in south korea. so president trump is in south korea. he's about to address the south korean parl lnlt. this is the first time a u.s. president has addressed the parliament since the earlier '90s when bill clinton was there. it's certainly the first time any u.s. president has spoken anywhere in the korean peninsula since this president threatened that he would totally destroy north korea. it's the first time any american president has traveled to the korean peninsula since president trump threatened north korea with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> that was august. that was president trump's red line promising what he would do if north korea made any more threats to the united states. north korea responded immediately to that red line by threatening to bomb guam. then they shot missiles over japan, then they tested a hydrogen bomb. while the president prepares to address the parliament in

and south korea the same page as far as north korea is concerned all they. well we've talked about the differences in the past between the positions and the tone of these two leaders because again the has had a bit of a softer touch talking about dialogue and engagement and that was the platform on which he was elected elected and donald trump had taken a more bombastic tone talking about as i mentioned fire and fury and that raised some eyebrows here in south korea but president moon was talking about wanting this trip to be a turning point and it's important for the two leaders to present this show of friendship and unity president trump talked about historical relationship that south korea and the united states have had that they've had decades of friendship that they fought a war together and that that that alliance will continue so he says that the north korean problem is not just one facing south korea or indeed the u.s. that it is a worldwide problem that needs a worldwide a solution so there were hints there when he was talking about the moves from t

has south korea's back. there has been a growing concern that if north korean leader kim jong-un is able to hit mainland united states with a nuclear tipped missile in the next year or so, then does that mean this nuclear umbrella that the u.s. has, the protection that south korea has enjoyed for so long, does that then disappear? if it's the decision between a u.s. city and protecting south korea, will the u.s. president turn his back on south korea? these are the concerns that people have here in south korea, christy. >> paula, thank you. u.s. president donald trump on stage with the first lady. he will address troops there. let's listen in. >> okay, everybody. mr. president, sir, i will tell you look great in that suit. but there's something missing. can i please ask the wing commander of the biggest baddest c-130 wing in the air force to come out here? >> should i put it on? [ cheers and applause ] i like this better. you can have my jacket -- thank you, thank you, honey. thank you. oh, boy, that's somet

president there is said in his visit to south korea that he will be working with south korea and using all available to tools short of military action is now taking a softer line with respect to north korea. well terry he definitely sounded very different than he did just a few months ago if you look back and if you remember that was bellicose remarks of . fury fire and fury and locked and loaded and those remarks actually made the south korea's president moved somewhat angry at the time saying that it can't be that some third party pushes his country closer to a military confrontation with north korea and he said that there shouldn't be any military action taken or considered without the consent of north korea and so today we didn't hear any of that harsh rhetoric from from donald trump now i wouldn't say it's a policy reversal they still agreed that they want to exert maximum pressure on north korea and that's something that president from had been pushing for the entire time but it seems that at least they were a bit more considerate of each other's needs and positions terry ok with

next stop, south korea. we'll be live in seoul. and the priceless 17th century map of australia, which was feared lost forever, is found in an attic. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news. it's newsday. good morning. it's 7am in singapore, ”pm in london, and 3pm —— it's 8am in singapore, midnight in london, and 4pm in california, where bosses at apple, the world's most profitable company, are watching a new tax controversy unravel. leaked documents show the tech giant actively sought out tax havens after an irish low—tax loophole it used was closed. the company then moved massive amounts of cash offshore to the island ofjersey in a move that would've saved it billions of dollars. although the company has done nothing illegal, it is again under fire from the eu and us over its tax arrangements. it came to light after millions of financial documents, the paradise papers, were obtained by the german newspaper, suddeutsche zeitung, and shared with journalists around the world, including a team at the bbc

to the south korean president. president moon, to say the existing deal simply has not been good enough and not good for the united states. there's risk in that, in perhaps offending his host. at the same time, south korea has willingly said it will renegotiate and reopen the terms of an economic partnership between the countries. so there's a willingness from president moon to keep president trump sort of on the same page, wanting to work together. in part that has to do with the obvious security relationship. so president trump is making sort of a connection between these economic deals, trade deals as he so often likes to talk about and the willingness of the united states to be a security partner, putting those things in one package makes it complex and it can be difficult, and it might not be exactly what south korea wants, but they appear at least in what they're showing us publicly to be working together. >> it's a diplomatic tight rope the president has to walk. >>> john kerry is weighing in on the trump ad

more in the way of cloud further south. in parts of scotland and northern ireland. out of thursday into friday, not too much in the way of a breeze across the south. clear skies for some. so again, fog could be an issue first up. more cloud, i think, as you get into the midlands, wales, then up into scotland and northern ireland. but a lot of dry weather around. just the odd bit and piece of rain coming off the irish sea. a new set of weather fronts bringing rain into scotland and perhaps the far north—west of northern ireland. cool in northern spots, nine, ten, 11 degrees. double figures in the south, but as we get into the weekend, we could see quite a bit of cool air rushing towards the british isles on an increasingly fresh and dominant north—westerly wind. but before we see that, we have to get this banner of cloud and rain away from this south—eastern quarter. and here's the thing: it could take a good part of the daylight hours on saturday before it eventually quits the scene. there that cooler fresher air moving in

do the south koreans share that view? >> no.hink there is a tremendous amount of belief that north korean will do whatever it says it will do, which is it will fight back. and that's one reason the deterrents has worked on both sides. they have spent... north korea spends a lot of time convincing the south koreans and the americans that they will fight back if they're attacked, and so essentially that's a... we tend to believe that. >> yang: is there greater anxiety among south koreans about what north korea will do or about what the united states will do? >> i mean, i think that's one reason president trump is making this visit. the defense secretary has been out, secretary of state has been out to the region many times, but what they need to see is a u.s. president who will come out, who can actually talk to the leaders and reassure and explain what the united states is going to do. so i think in some ways there is more focus on what the americans are going to do, because that's the new player in town. >> yang: david kang of t
