unfortunately the south korea of tomorrow could look like the south korea of the past.ybe even it could look like north korea. what is most disturbing is that moon has been trying to take down the defenses of south korea. we have talked about the september 2018 agreement that moon reached with kim jung-un when moon went to pyongyang in that agreement clearly favors the attacker north korea much more with observation posts, fencing near the demilitarized zone is also been lamenting plans to make the south korea army mall or in circumstances which are quite puzzling and he has been undermining south korea's alliance with the united states. there is one country one country that has pledged to the events of south korea and it is the country the rush to south korea's defense after the north koreans crossed the 38th parallel on june 205th 1950 and it's the one country that has 28500 horses in south korea now and it is the united states of america. most people in south korea support the alliance. this was made clear by an institute council on foreign relations which was releas

and turkey which are actually members of the g. 20 group of leading economies but now south korea it's time to get real. for it is the line to give us a high 5 in rule balts. and the wizardry of samsung smartphones hard to believe then that south korea would consider itself a developing nation and yet until today it did. bowing to reality or pressure the finance minister said the country would no longer use the designation juden trade talks. you get w.q. of the we have decided not to seek special treatment as a developing country in future negotiations 1st we recognize that we have authorized he to negotiate sensitive items like rice you know 2nd we will not for go developing country status itself only the special treatment in future negotiations in the yaki which are many of them. since it was founded in 1905 what do we need organization rules have permitted members to self identify as developing allowing them to impose high tariffs to protect key industries. south korea used to shield sectors including agriculture like rice farming from foreign competition but holmes announcemen

for us in frankfurt thank you very much no special treatment for us asia's 4th largest economy south korea says it's time to admit to its enhanced global economic ranking and stop benefiting from its developing countries status and future negotiations with the world trade organization bowing to reality or pressure so korea's finance minister's announcement comes with global trade tension soaring. you get the bigotry of the we have decided not to seek special treatment as a developing country in future negotiations 1st we recognize that we have authorised he to negotiate sensitive items like rice or you know 2nd we will not for go developing country status itself only the special treatment in future negotiations in the german yaki which are many of them under world trade organization rules countries can identify themselves as developing allowing them to impose high tariffs to protect key industries south korea used it to shield sectors including agriculture like rice farming from foreign competition but holmes announcement that his country would not be giving up its developing nation status

the latest in military hardware and the perfect stage for south korea to showcase its new big ticket items. unveiled to the public for the 1st time its new fighter the k f x its most ambitious defense project to date. and the even more sophisticated f. 35 lightning purchased from the u.s. i think we've seen a lot of interest in the f. 35 so beyond that i mean that's very good for our business of course by think it's very good for the security of the region south korea's liberal president moon j.n. is overseeing this expansion even as he pursues his policy of reconciliation with north korea which continues to develop its nuclear arsenal. this is the negative outcome of the current administration south korea has already said peace has arrived but this puts south korea in an illogical position because unless north korea denuclearize as they can't be peace on the peninsula. north korea has blamed south korea's military buildup in part for its testing of more sophisticated missiles in recent months and it comes as questions are raised about the long term commitment of south korea's tradit

japan, south korea, so these are questions that need to focus our attention. not can we get another segment with kids on film. or what the state of staff are to achieve commitment from north korea. it will never honor. before i close, what to take one minute on the subject of us-japan south korea relations. this is also not a happy subject for discussion. it is well below the radar screen here in the united states.. it's a big mistake for our country and not paying more attention to it. i am almost that went out words to describe how distressed i am that these tensions between south korea and japan have grown to the point where they currently are. i believe that over the past period of time, that american past 70 on this., has been a mistake. i'm not staying that the united states should engage in a public mediation, between the two countries. i thank in fact the public participation would be a mistake. and not underestimating how serious the issues between south koreat and japan are. i have heard at length from both sides. i thank i understand well both their

that's very good for our business of course by think it's very good for the security of the region south korea's liberal president moon j.n. is overseeing this expansion even as he pursues his policy of reconciliation with north korea which continues to develop its nuclear arsenal. this is the negative outcome of the current administration south korea has already said peace has arrived but this puts south korea in an illogical position because unless north korea denuclearize as they can't be peace on the peninsula. north korea has blamed south korea's military buildup in part for its testing of more sophisticated missiles in recent months and it comes as questions are raised about the long term commitment of south korea's traditional ally the united states. the sudden announcement by u.s. president donald trump to pull troops out of syria has alarmed to many here it's reinforced the belief that south korea has to become more self-reliant militarily especially when its neighbors are rapidly expanding their armies. japan under its conservative prime minister shinzo has increased its military spend

there that is ready to fall sucker to that argument, even now we see governments, particularly south korea watching north korea test missiles but providing food aid because the north ryan say that harvest has been bad an economic conditions have been difficult. it is been too difficult for them to buy food for their people but not launch ballistic missiles, those people that succumb to that line of argument, this is something that we can apply both to iran and north korea, there is a second element as, well that is the element of time, to time for a weapon state is not a factor, the more time that goes by that benefits the delivery because it takes time to overcome the technological difficulties inherent in a program, so when we say well, we are in no rush for negotiations, we are in no rush for a resolution of this, we are saying to north korea and iran, take your time, keep going, you have more time to plan test, to produce and deploy these capabilities, time works against those and a relaxed attitude to time is a benefit to the likes of north korea and iran. and then finally, this appli

i think it unnerved south korea. i don't think they understood the risk that they had undertaken when they challenged the 1965 treaty. then it deteriorated further with the termination of gsomia. so the best i can say at the moment -- at least i hope the best i can say -- is that they've hit a plateau and things are not deteriorating further. at this point, i'm not sure the discussions that are going on have any -- the bilateral discussions have any prospect of reversing the conflict as it now stands. so i think there's an awful lot of work to do in trying to get this back on track, and i'm not even sure at this point i would know where to begin. and that's something people should be thinking about because the longer the split goes on, that i do have confidence, i can say, weakens all three of us further. mr. cha: thanks. in the very last line of your speech, you said that this is not a time for u.s. disengagement from asia. do you sense that we are disengaging from asia? mr. bolton: i think there's a risk of it. i t

high level talks betweenjapan and south korea are expected to take place later, the first since a majorkorean prime minister lee nak—yon will meet his japanese counterpart, shinzo abe, in tokyo, where world leaders are attending the enthronement ceremony for emperor naruhuto. but what, if anything, is likely to come out of the talks? john delury, associate professor at yonsei university graduate school of international studies spoke to me earlier. when you ask about the root, we have to go all the way back into the japanese colonial period and it's really unresolved historical issues that stem from that. but most recently, there was a supreme court ruling here in south korea that would green light korean citizens who were coerced forced labour back in the japanese colonial period, that they can file claims against japanese companies for damages, going back to the earlier part of the 20th century. professor, the japanese are saying that issues around this were resolved in the 1965 treaty. exactly. but japan, the japanese government, view is as you say, the 1965 normalisation treaty cover

and south korea says it will stop trying to benefit from its status as a developing nation the u.s. complains rich countries are using their status to play in the world trade. it's time for business on the w. i'm here welcome to the program the u.s. treasury has announced that the country's budget deficit sorts to almost a trillion dollars in the 2900 physical year that's a 26 percent jump from 2018 the trump administration has spent far more than its tax revenue because of the republican led tax cuts taking advantage of a booming economy government spending grew twice as fast as tax revenues the u.s. treasury secretary steven said economic agenda is working while lawmakers fear the government is undermining fiscal responsibility. for more on the subject i'm now joined by the financial correspondent on wall street. these deficit numbers definitely sound worrying at least how do they fit into donald trump's view of the u.s. economy. well i mean as long as the dollar remains the world currency the damage might be limited you have debt not to repay it but to make new debt and then repa

can trust with south korea's kids who are great but this is the. right so when the president says that he cares about long range missiles shot from north korea that can hit the united states but doesn't care about short range or medium range missiles look at it south korea japan and if you're a south korean or japanese. you know a government official who is relying on the american security guarantee that will make you worried now what happens if there's an actual attack who knows who you're always in the realm of who knows but do you look at the signaling up to that but you know jim's point is why we don't live in george washington's world he was a great man but it was 240 some years ago and there were european. empires and he didn't want to get there so you just. sort of montaigne's says george washington's a little dated a little a little dated the powered way a particularly one of the great question i want to deal with i want to tell you that iran and north korea with allies on our side or without the noise that only those countries don't have a

do you think that the prime ministers of south korea and japan can't resolve this conflict?een a spiral and things have gotten quite bad. one of the lowest points in the relationship since 1965. so at least here in south korea, what people are looking for is just the beginning of dialogue, and that this meeting could set up potentially a summit level meeting between the president here in south korea and prime minister abe, but i will say we are still early in the process of trying to mend the relationship. indeed. 0n the ground level in south korea, where you are based, things have hardened, the south korean people don't want to buy japanese goods any more and tourism to japan is down. yes. that is right. there is a kind of grassroots boycott going gone. boycott going on. i would say that the south korean government is actually holding back a lot of the public anger. a common interpretation that the government here is feeding the flames but my sense is the opposite. the south korean public feels very strongly that the situation just keeps getting worse, that japan doesn't wa

north korea are also consistent with the obligation in trying to reduce the threat to our ally in south korea. clearly in the region china has a huge influence on north korea you know given that north korea's fired at least 7 missiles into the sea of japan since july i think more that china could and should be doing all china has somewhat different interests from the united states its main interest is denuclearization but stability in its immediate neighborhood in the region so its main interest is in continuing diplomacy. and reducing tensions over time so i think the north koreans can count on china to do very little and largely supported priorities. particularly in forcing sanctions and so forth mintaro thank you very much for joining us at least 25 soldiers have been killed in an attack on 2 army bases a mali central region and party government officials say fighters linked to al qaeda targeted its forces on sunday nights and see. about 60 people still missing this is one of the worst attacks since the campaign against armed groups in the sahara region was launched this year iraq's prime
