Touch Base in Seoul: Joining us in the studio this week is Julia Mellor, an Australian who came to South Korea in 2006, and soon discovered her love for Korean traditional alcohol, or sool. This passion eventually led her to start her own business, The Sool Company, dedicated to the education of sool and the craft of brewing.

Sebuah pelajaran penting supaya kita nggak teledor, jangan langsung terima pemberian orang yang mencurigakan dan hati-hati banget. Juga, jalin hubungan yang sehat dengan pasangan supaya nggak terikat dalam toxic relationship. Kejutan juga datang dari Bill & Mellinda Gates yang memutuskan bercerai setelah 27 tahun menikah. Kaget nggak? Yha, masih nggak nyangka aja sih, secara mereka pasangan filantropis yang selalu saling memuji satu sama lain, dan peduli dengan kegiatan sosial kemanusiaan. Terakhir, Amerika Serikat – Korea Utara lagi tegang banget, gara-gara pidato Joe Biden di kongres bikin blunder. Amerika bilang nuklir Korut membahayakan AS dan dunia. Sedangkan Korut ngancem AS bakal krisis ekonomi.

At the beginning of our discussion back in August 2019, the most important issues facing Asia were the ramping up of the US-China trade challenges, the North Korea-US nuclear deals, the Rohingya refugee crisis, and the many challenges ahead with the crisis in climate change. Today in 2020, a lot of these issues have shifted due to the influence of the global COVID-19 pandemic that has shut down countries, economies, businesses, and impacted tens of millions of lives and livelihoods. In this episode, which is part 2 of our conversation, we discuss how Asia will lead in the middle of global competition, the impact of COVID-19 on the future of trade and the efficacy of some of the big trading partnerships in place, politics of vaccine adoption and distribution, and the climate challenges in Asia.

Countries/topics covered: MESSY MONDAY: Vanuatu, Nigeria, Vietnam/China, Kazakhstan, North Korea/US, Australia, UK/US/China/Hong Kong, India, Israel, Space & the US

One of the biggest - and most persistent - stories in the Asia region over the last few years has been North Korea. It may have been pushed out of the headlines recently by the coronavirus pandemic, but as recent missile tests have demonstrated, it's not an issue that's going away any time soon. In this episode Andrew is joined by Chun In-Bum, a renowned expert on Korean relations who's a veteran Lieutenant General in the South Korean army, and who briefly served as a security adviser to President Moon Jae-in. To discuss China's role and interests, Tong Zhao, a senior fellow at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, joins us from Beijing as well. NB: This episode was recorded shortly before the coronavirus crisis took hold. Support the show (https://twitter.com/AsiaMattersPod)

Unfortunately my special guest could not make it out this week so it was me solo again... started with giving you a rundown of the conflict happening between India and Pakistan. Then I talked about the North Korea/US summit in Hanoi. Plus another oil pipeline explosion in Nigeria, Congo Ebola war, Canadian SJW king Justin Trudeau under pressure, and a priest anointed men's genitals with oil and wanted to examine their semen for sin. Music: Jurassic 5/"A Day at the Races"

In this episode of The Office Hours, Rosio Acosta and Melanie Morals discuss recent events regarding US-North Korean relations with History and Politics Professor Hong Pang. (Original Air Date April 5th, 2018).

The full broadcast of Boston Public Radio from Monday, August 6ht, 2018 Jennifer Braceras, a conservative columnist whose work appears in the Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal and *National Review, *and Michael Curry, senior vice president and general counsel at Mass League of Community Health Centers, and a member of the National NAACP Board of Directors, joined us to discuss the top local and national headlines. The GroundTruth Project's Charlie Sennott talked about the latest news on North Korea - US relations. According to a new report out of the Boston Globe, a majority of Boston’s low performing schools are mostly populated by students of color. We opened the lines and asked you how can the city makes its way out of this inequality? Irene Monroe and Emmett Price joined us for another edition of All Revved Up. TV expert Bob Thompson gave us his list of the worst and best shows on TV. We opened the lines to hear if you are a small talk guru or can barely discuss the weather with a stranger.

Let's chat about the North Korea/US summit, its consequences and what it looks like for the rest of the world. In our life question of the week, we chat about the bad habits people sometimes have a hard time breaking and how to do it, from spending too long online to snacking out of boredom.

Jacques and Joe talk about all sorts of nonsense, including Russia instructing their people on how to smile during World Cup coverage, separating immigrant children from their parents at the southern U.S. border, Paul Manafort goes to jail, the North Korea-US summit, and Jacques advocating the punching of *certain* kids (hear him out).

President Trump's noble Nobel quest? Otto Warmbier, Kim Dong Chul, Tony Kim/Kim Sang-duk, and Kim Hak-song/Kim Hak Song. Falling to a "summit" with Kim's North Korean regime. Communist China seducing executives of tech giants of the USA to lay all tech secrets bare for the ruthless regime to use against America, and even against them! President Trump and Islamist Iran. The late great Boy Scouts of America.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Heather Benno, an immigrant rights activist and attorney, and Angie Kim, the Community Engagement & Advocacy Coordinator for the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium.In a major blow to the Trump Administration’s immigration policy, another federal judge has ruled that attempts to end the popular Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, are illegal. However, the judge gave the Administration 90 days to appeal the decision. Meanwhile, the travel ban finally reaches the Supreme Court today. All three versions of the travel ban have been ruled unconstitutional at every level of the federal courts. Now it’s the Supreme Court’s turn to weigh in. Wednesday is the regular segment looking at nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Today, they discuss the pushback on a proposed new nuclear waste facility in New Mexico (submit comments against the facility at beyondnuclear.org), the Iran nuclear deal potentially being ripped apart, the North Korea-US talks, and the US breaking of international law about nuclear non-proliferation. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, joins the show. Busloads of Central American migrants arrived in Tijuana Mexico yesterday, where they intend to turn themselves in to US border authorities and to ask for asylum. Most of the migrants are from Honduras and are fleeing crime, violence, and political repression in that country. The Trump Administration, however, is warning that anybody without a valid claim will be swiftly deported. And anybody who tries to cross the border will be arrested and prosecuted. Brian and John speak with Jorge Barón, the executive director of the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. A Filipino human rights activist scheduled for a speaking tour in the US was detained upon arrival at San Francisco Airport. A Customs and Border Protection officer said there was a problem with Jerome Aba’s visa, but Aba maintains that customs officers planted a weapon on him and tortured him when he was first detained. Adrian Bonifacio, National Chairperson of Anakbayan-USA, and Mong Palatino, a journalist and former member of the Philippines’ House of Representatives who was set to be on the same speaking tour as Jerome Aba, joins the show. The Taliban announced the start of their annual spring offensive today, dismissing an offer of peace talks by President Ashraf Ghani, but pledging to focus on attacking only US forces in Afghanistan. Ghani had called for peace talks without any preconditions, but the Taliban refused, calling the offer “a conspiracy.” Brian Terrell, a long time peace activist and a co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence, joins Brian and John. Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is on trial in that country on myriad corruption charges. He and his family have been major political players in Pakistan for much of the past 30 years and have been accused of corruption before. But allegations of Sharif having assets beyond his means, leaked as part of the Panama Papers, may be enough to finally put him in prison. Marvin Weinbaum, the Scholar-in-Residence for the Middle East Institute’s Center for Pakistan Studies, joins the show.Facebook yesterday made public for the very first time a 27-page memo explaining the criteria for banning content on its site. The company also said that it would be more clear about its privacy policies in light of a new European Union law mandating transparency. Meanwhile, Twitter has released its privacy policy to the public. Brian and John speak with Professor Bryan Ford, who leads the Decentralized/Distributed Systems lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne.

John & David are joined by Prof. Purnendra Jain, internationally renowned Japan scholar & Northeast Asian security expert from the University of Adelaide, Dept. of Asian Studies Following is a list of some useful factoids regarding our Northeast Asian security special for those unfamiliar with some of the terms used: KOREA UNDER JAPANESE RULE - 1910-45 the Korean Peninsula was one indivisible territory under Japanese imperial rule. It has been considered an ambivalent period. While Japanese rule was often considered extremely harsh, it did bring with it a degree of social and economic modernity to the Korean people. COMFORT WOMEN - Between 1932-45 Japanese military conquests in Asia brought about the systemic exploitation of women from occupied territories - many forced into prostitution, but more properly, sexual slavery, to satisfy the requirements of the Japanese Imperial Army. Japan has failed to fully recognise this atrocity or adequately atone for it. DIVIDED KOREA - In 1945 Korea was divided into Soviet and American occupation zones. By 1948 the Soviets and Americans failed to reach an agreement on reunifying the country. Two forms of government, one communist, one non-communist were declared, each one stating that it was the legitimate voice of the Korean people. KOREAN WAR - 1950-53. Ended in a stalemate. ABDUCTION ISSUE - Between 1976-83, North Korean agents abducted a number of Japanese citizens. Officially acknowledged figures are low (in the teens), though unofficially there may have been hundreds of Japanese abductees. These people were allegedly brought to North Korea to teach Japanese to North Korean spies. Former North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, father of current leader Kim Jong-un admitted to 13 Japanese abductees and apologised for this. Some 5 of the 13 admitted Japanese abductees returned to Japan in 2004. Issues surrounding compensation and the full disclosure of this North Korean activity remains a sore point between Tokyo & Pyongyang. HUBS & SPOKES - This wheel-like analogy describes the network of US alliances that keep the contemporary strategic balance of power in Northeast Asia. For example, the United States being the largest strategic power in the Pacific is considered 'the hub' while America's smaller Asia-Pacific allies, such as South Korea, Japan & Australia are considered the spokes. 1994 AGREED FRAMEWORK - A Clinton era initiative designed to smooth North Korea-US relations by promising energy aid to North Korea in return for North Korea freezing its nuclear program. This agreement ended in 2002 after North Korean and American officials accused each other of violations. 6 PARTY TALKS - Established in 2003, this multilateral forum between North Korea, China, Russia, the US, Japan and South Korea was created to move forward the idea of dismantling North Korea's nuclear program. North Korea pulled out of this forum in 2009. NORTH KOREA - Becomes a nuclear power in 2006. It test-fired its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) 4 July 2017.
