Turning to continued international efforts to rein in the out of control regime.
The United States is pushing for the strongest sanctions yet against Pyongyang.
It includes an oil embargo targeting North Korean smuggling boats and blacklisting the
the hermit kingdom's leader.
Connie Kim outlines the latest punitive measures for us.
Each of the previous United Nations Security Council resolutions on North Korea had been
dubbed the most powerful sanctions on the reclusive regime, but every time they have
been adopted, they have failed to be effective.
This time, the U.S. is not backing down and is seeking to close every possible loophole
in its efforts to put a break on Pyongyang's ever-growing nuclear ambitions.
The circulated draft resolution at the United Nations states…. the council would empower
the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force to intercept North Korean ships at sea, and inspect them
to check if they are carrying weapons material or fuel into the regime.
The fresh set of sanctions also includes blacklisting Kim Jong-un for the first time.
This means a freeze on his foreign assets, and virtually all the assets of the regime's
military and sole political party, as well as a travel ban on the North Korean leader.
The biggest restriction in the new sanctions would ban the sale of oil, refined petroleum
products and natural gas to the North.
China and Russia have long been against this idea as cutting down on Beijing's supplies
of 500-thousand tons of crude oil and 200-thousand tons of oil products would be enough to destabilize
the regime.
Banning the North's textiles exports, its second-biggest export product last year, is
also reportedly on the draft resolution, in addition to imposing a complete ban on hiring
North Korean workers abroad.
While the range of sanctions has been expanded,… a new UN report alleges that the UN member
nations' lax enforcement, and North Korea's evolving techniques to evade sanctions, are
undermining UN efforts to coerce Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear weapons.
In figures,… 270 million dollars have gone into the regime since the end of last year
from exports of banned minerals -- coal, iron and zinc.
The U.S. is pushing to put the draft resolution to a vote on Monday, but.... whether it will
be adopted remains a question as veto-wielding China and Russia have reportedly not shown
support for the draft.

You say that I'm not the one
You say I'll never become
You say that I'll never know...well
This time I say...
NO!
I hear the things they say about me
When I walk by they all stare
I know the things they think about me
Though the words hurt I don't care
Not today
Not today
You say that I'm not the one
You say I'll never become
You say that I'll never know...well
This time I say
Go on push me around now
You can't bring me down
Now that I've looked in the mirror
I see myself clearer
You can't tell me to be
Something other than me
I won't let you define me
You'll always remind me
Of what I'll never become
No remorse for what I've done
So hateful and so numb
NO!
The words they said ring loud in my ears
Telling me I should give up
Never again will I give in to fear
Finally...I've had enough
Not again
Not today
Go on push me around now
You can't bring me down
Now that I've looked in the mirror
I see myself clearer
You can't tell me to be
Something other than me
I won't let you define me
You'll always remind me
Of what I will never do
Because I'll never be like you
In this game you will lose
You say that we're not the ones
You say we'll never become
You say that we'll never know...well
This time we all say
Go on push us around now
You can't bring us down
Now that we've looked in the mirror
We see ourselves clearer
Believe me you can trust
We'll be nothing but us
We all have been set free
We'll be what we want to be
ME!

Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui seeking asylum in the U.S. - Duration: 0:40.
The lawyer of a New York-based real-estate tycoon, who has accused top Chinese officials
of corruption, says his client has applied for political asylum in the U.S.
Guo Wengui is in the United States on a tourist visa that expires later this year, and Beijing
is seeking his arrest.
Chinese state media have accused him of fraud, money laundering and even rape - allegations
he has denied.
His lawyer said on Thursday that Guo's public tirades against the Beijing elite have made
him "a political opponent of the Chinese regime," hence why he is seeking asylum for better
protection, as a visa can be canceled or revoked.

Vladimir Poutine : l'Administration US ne distingue pas l'Autriche de l'Australie - Duration: 4:10.
One of the top news stories these days is the US decision to shut down several Russian diplomatic facilities,
which in essence amounts to another instance of seizing diplomatic property.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has used the words "seizure" and "searches".
You have not said anything on this matter so far. Will you comment on it now?
Will Russia respond to all this? If so, what response would it be? Thank you.
The thing is that we have agreed with our partners that Russia and the United States should have parity in terms of personnel or diplomats in their missions in each other's country.
I believe there were 1,300 American diplomats working in Russia and 455 Russian diplomats in the United States. We have balanced the figure.
I would like you to take note of the fact that this figure, 455 Russian diplomats working in the United States, also includes (provisionally) the 155 Russians working at the United Nations.
Strictly speaking, they are not diplomats accredited at the US Department of State but diplomats working at an international organisation.
When the United States wanted the UN to be headquartered in New York, it pledged to properly ensure its operation.
So strictly speaking, the number of American diplomats in Moscow should be not 455 but 155 fewer, if we are talking about parity.
So, we reserve the right to take a new decision on the number of American diplomats in Moscow.
We will not do this immediately but will see how things develop.
The Americans had the right to reduce the number of our diplomatic offices. It is another matter altogether that they have done this in way that was absolutely uncivil. This does not do reflect well on our American partners.
It is difficult to talk to people who confuse Austria and Australia.
But there is nothing we can do about this; this is the level of political culture among part of the American establishment.
As for the American people, America is truly a great nation if the Americans can put up with so many politically uncivilised people.
Vladimir Vladimirovitch, you have already mentioned that you touched upon the issue of the DPRK when you spoke to the Prime Minister of Japan and the President of South Korea…
Excuse me, but, with regard to the buildings and structures, this is unprecedented.
As a graduate of the St Petersburg University law department, I, or any other lawyer for that matter, can tell you that property rights consist of three elements: the right to own, use, and dispose of such property.
The United States stripped Russia of the right to use our property, which is a clear violation of Russia's property rights.
So, to begin with, I will ask our Foreign Ministry to file a lawsuit. We will see how effectively the much-lauded American judicial system works.

South Korean villagers block US military in protest against North Korea missile defence - Duration: 3:39.
South Korean villagers block US military in protest against North Korea missile defence
More than 30 people were injured when around 8,000 police broke up a blockade near the site by about 300 villagers and members of civic groups opposed to the THAAD installation.
Residents and activists have been terrified by reports of health hazards linked to THAAD and the possibility of being targeted in any North Korean attacks.
They had had attempted to block the road leading to the site on a disused golf course in the rural town of Seongju but were swept aside by riot police.
Several US military vehicles, including trucks carrying payloads covered in black sheets that appeared to be the launchers, then drove through. Despite the violent demonstrations, the four remaining launchers of the system were fitted. Two launchers had already been deployed.
South Korean officials say THAAD will strengthen the countrys missile defences and will deter North Korea, which has missiles that can be fired from road-mobile launchers or submarines. They also say the health fears are groundless and no such issues have been reported at other THAAD sites.
THAAD has also drawn strong objections from China, which believes the systems radar could be used to pry into its territory and will upset the regional security balance.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said: We again urge South Korea and the United States to take seriously Chinas and regional nations security interests and concerns, stop the relevant deployment progress, and remove the relevant equipment." China has agreed that the United Nations should take more action against North Korea after its latest nuclear test, while also pushing for dialogue to help resolve the standoff.
North Korea, which is pursuing its nuclear and missile programmes in defiance of international condemnation, said it would respond to any new UN sanctions and US pressure with powerful counter measures and accused the Washington of aiming for war.
The US wants the UN Security Council to impose an oil embargo on North Korea, ban its exports of textiles and the hiring of North Korean labourers abroad, and to subject leader Kim Jong-un to an asset freeze and travel ban.
Pressure from Washington has ratcheted up since North Korea conducted its sixth and largest nuclear test on Sunday. The test, along with a series of missile launches, showed it was close to achieving its goal of developing a powerful nuclear weapon that could reach the US.

US government strongly supports sale of F-16, F-18 jets to India - Duration: 5:05.
Welcome to World Action And Reaction News...
Todays News is US government strongly supports sale of F-16,
F-18 jets to India
The Trump administration has told Congress that it "strongly supports" the sale of F-18
and F-16 fighter jets to India and asserted that the proposals have the potential to take
Indo-US defence ties to the next level.
Alice Wells, acting assistant secretary of state for the South and Central Asian Affairs,
told a Congressional Subcommittee in a written submission that defence cooperation with India
would be an important pillar in the bilateral relationship as it needs the country to be
a net security provider in the Indo-Pacific region.
In this context, the Trump administration has informed the Congress that it "strongly
supports" the sale of F-18 and F-16 fighter proposals put forward by Boeing and Lockheed
Martin respectively.
These proposals have the potential to take India US defence relationship to the next
level, the official said.
"The reason why defence cooperation with India is so vital to US interests is because we
need India to be a net security provider in the Indo-Pacific," Wells said
She highlighted that the region serves as the fulcrum of global trade and commerce,
with nearly half of the world's 90,000 commercial vessels, many sailing under the US flag, and
two-thirds of traded oil travelling through the region.
Wells is also scheduled to testify before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on
Asia and the Pacific on "Maintaining US Influence in South Asia: The FY 2018 Budget".
She said in her submission that the Indo-Asia Pacific region is also home to nearly half
of the planet's population and some of the fastest growing economies on earth.
"Working with like-minded partners, India has the strategic and economic potential to
uphold the international order that has served so much of humanity over the past seven decades.
The investments we make in our security partnership now will pay dividends for decades to come,"
she said.
As fellow democracies, countering terrorism is the critical priority for both India and
the United States, she asserted.
"India is situated in a dangerous neighbourhood, where terrorist attacks have killed both Indians
and Americans alike.
Joint training and capacity building are essential to expanding our counter terrorism cooperation,"
she said, citing the State Department Anti-Terrorism Assistance (ATA) programme in which more than
1,100 Indian security personnel have received training from the US since 2009.
Wells said India is among America's most important strategic partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
"In the words of President Trump, the relationship between India and the United States has never
been stronger, has never been better," she said in the testimony.
"The President's first meeting with Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi in June set a positive
tone and ambitious agenda for strengthening bilateral ties, particularly in the areas
of defence, energy and trade," she added.
Talking about the trade between the US and India in her written submission, Wells said
the economic relationship has largely been on a positive trajectory and America needs
to do more to balance the trade deficit between the two countries, which totalled nearly USD
30 billion last year.
"We are working closely with USTR and the Commerce Department to address the concerns
of the US business community regarding India, including tariff and non-tariff barriers,
subsidies, localisation policies, restrictions on investment, and intellectual property concerns
that limit market access and impede US exporters and businesses from entering the Indian market,"
Wells said.
"Our bilateral trade has more than doubled in the last decade from USD 45 billion in
2006 to more than USD 114 billion in 2016.
US exports to India support more than 260,000 American jobs across all 50 states," she said.
Last year alone, investment from Indian companies supported more than 52,000 jobs in the US,
she added.
She said the Trump administration is committed to ensure that the trade relationship with
India is fair and reciprocal, and continue to press India to further open its markets
and create a level-playing field
for US companies.
