S. Korea says resumption of joint military exercises with U.S. - Duration: 2:12.
The combined military drills between South Korea and the U.S. were halted in June as
a gesture of good faith to North Korea after it agreed to abandon its nuclear weapons.
Well now, with little progress made on that front,... the U.S. has opened the door to
restarting the exercises Pyongyang dreads.
However, Seoul claims to have heard nothing of the possible resumption,... adding it's
a subject that needs to be discussed between the allies.
Park Hee-jun reports.
South Korea's presidential office says the issue of suspending joint military exercises
with the United States requires further discussion between the two countries.
This comes after U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said at a news conference at
the Pentagon on Tuesday, local time,... that the U.S. has no future plans to call off any
drills with South Korea.
"We have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises.
We will work very closely, as I said, with the Secretary of State, and what he needs
done we will certainly do to reinforce that effort.
But at this time there is no discussion about further suspensions."
Earlier in June after the Kim-Trump summit in Singapore,... Mattis announced that the
U.S. had "suspended" the exercises "indefinitely."
As a result,... the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise was cancelled in August.
Just hours after Mattis made his latest remarks,...
Blue House Spokesperson Kim Eui-kyeom told reporters that South Korea and U.S. had not
discussed the matter.
Although the earlier decision only applied to this year's exercises,... he said that
any changes in the agreement will be negotiated in step with the progress made in denuclearization
talks between Pyongyang and Washington.
South Korea's foreign ministry says it sees the comments as an extension of Washington's
previous agreement with Seoul to suspend the joint exercises, and that no new agreement
has been made.
It added that it will continue to work closely with the U.S. for the denuclearization of
the Korean Peninsula.
Seoul's defense ministry also says that it had heard nothing of Mattis' announcement,...
and that the issue has not yet been discussed by the two sides.

No reason to be spending large amounts of money on joint U.S.-South Korea war games: White House - Duration: 2:06.
More mixed messages from the Trump administration.
Defense chief James Mattis said this week that the U.S. has no plans to keep suspending
war games on the Korean Peninsula -- it had called off a big one just this month as a
good will gesture to Pyongyang.
But just a day later, President Trump signaled that he might like to see more drills suspended
because of how much money they cost.
Park Ji-won has more.
U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted an official White House statement on Wednesday evening,
local time,...saying "there is no reason to be spending large amounts of money on the
joint South Korea-U.S. war games."
The statement continues that Trump believes his relationship with North Korean leader
Kim Jong-un is a very good and warm one.
But it stressed Trump can instantly start the joint military exercises again with South
Korea, and Japan, and if he does,... the exercises will be far bigger than ever before.
The statement also criticized China for not pressuring the North enough onto the path
of denuclearization.
The statement came,... only a day after U.S. defense chief James Mattis said Tuesday,...
that the Pentagon had "no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises" on the Korean
Peninsula.
The comment was made at a press briefing at the Pentagon,... and Mattis added that no
decisions have been made,.. on whether large-scale joint military exercises like Ulchi-Freedom
Guardian and Foal Eagle will be conducted next year,... and that any decision would
be made in consultation with the U.S. State Department.
The U.S. defense chief also issued a follow-up statement earlier Wednesday that said the
Pentagon's military posture has not changed since the Singapore summit,... and no decisions
have been made over the exercises,... leaving room for possible cancellations.
Mattis also said only three military exercises had been suspended,... to allow space for
a diplomatic approach to negotiations with North Korea.

Maria Sharapova downs battling 39-year-old Patty Schnyder at US Open - Duration: 5:06.

Maria Sharapova downs battling 39-year-old Patty Schnyder at US Open.
Maria Sharapova shattered the fairytale return of 39-year-old Patty Schnyder at the US Open on Tuesday, winning a roller-coaster first round clash 6-2, 7-6 (8/6).
Schnyder, the oldest ever player to make the main draw of a Grand Slam via qualifying, was outgunned by the five-time major champion in the first set and for the majority of the second.
However, she bravely battled back from 1-5 down to 6-6, showing the sort of ability and court-craft which won her 11 titles and once took her to seven in the world rankings.
She even saved three match points in the tiebreaker before Sharapova's 23rd winner of the night sealed victory shortly before midnight.
"My average match against her is like two hours and 20 minutes so I knew I was in for a battle no matter what my story is or hers," said Sharapova who is now 21-0 in US Open night sessions.
"I knew we'd go out and relive the battles against each other.
"I know what a competitor she is and to come back on the tour is very admirable." Left-hander Schnyder made her US Open bow in 1997 -- the year of the deaths of Princess Diana in Paris and Mother Teresa in Kolkata.
It was the year that Mike Tyson infamously nibbled on Evander Holyfield's ear while Twitter was still nine years away.
Schnyder made the quarter-finals in New York in 1998 and 2008 before retiring in 2011.
Tuesday's match was her first main draw appearance at the US Open since 2010 and her first against Sharapova in a decade.
"It doesn't really feel that special," said Schnyder.
"It doesn't feel like I have been gone for a while as tennis is a passion of my life." "Times passes really quickly and it doesn't seem it's eight years since I last played Maria." Schnyder was watched on Tuesday by three-year-old daughter Kim.
"She enjoyed it.
She saw herself up on the big screen," added Schnyder who does not know if her return to the tour will be permanent.
Her focus, she said, will be on her daughter.
"It's more fun for me to get to know her world rather than her having to get to know my world of tennis." Understandably there were a few nerves on both sides on Tuesday.
Sharapova, the 2006 US Open champion, served up three double faults in the first game with the opening four games of the contest all breaks of serve.
The Russian 22nd seed steadied the ship with two more breaks, pocketing the first set with Schnyder losing all four of her service games and failing to hit a single winner.
Schnyder finally held serve for 1-1 in the second set before retrieving the breaks to get to 5-5.
"She still has incredible hands and moves incredibly well for being out of he game for so long," added Sharapova.
"It took me like 15 years to drop shot Patty Schnyder and win a point." Sharapova will face Romania's Sorana Cirstea for a place in the last 32.

To Combat Bullying, Teen Launches Inclusive Lunchtime Planning App Sit With Us - Duration: 1:23.
(light music)
- I'm Natalie Hampton and I created an app
that helps everyone find a place to sit at lunch
so that no one has to sit alone.
When I was in seventh and eighth grade,
I faced a really horrible bullying experience
where I was physically attacked, cyber bullied,
verbally bullied, and on top of that,
I ate lunch alone everyday.
That's what inspired me to create Sit With Us,
so if you're a kid who is not sure where to sit at lunch,
you open the app and you're greeted with a full list
of the tables you can join without any fear or rejection,
so you really know you're finding somewhere safe
without having to go up and ask
the embarrassing question if you can sit down.
When I first released the app, I had no idea
how far it would go and it just immediately exploded.
We have over 100,000 users and we're in
eight different countries and we continue to grow everyday.
I think one of the reasons why it resonated
with so many people is because this fear
of walking into the lunchroom
and not knowing where to sit is universal.
The success of the app has really given me a platform
to connect with young people around the world
on topics like exclusion and bullying.
There are so many kids in every single school
that are willing to make a positive impact
and I'm just trying to give them the tools to do so.

Argentina asks IMF for early release of US$50 billion credit line - Duration: 1:39.
Argentina's government has asked the IMF for the early release of a multi-billion dollar
loan as an economic crisis continues to grip the nation.
For more on this and other news around the world we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… things are not looking good in Argentina.
That's right Mark… the country's economy has been on a downward spiral since early
this year when Argentina asked for the first installment of the 50-billion dollar credit
line.
At that time, Buenos Aires tried to dispel fears that it was seeking an emergency rescue
due to an imminent debt default, saying it was to help with a massive devaluation of
its currency.
But the peso has continued to drop and inflation has also been rampant, triggering a more desperate
response from the government.
President Mauricio Macri told a televised address on Wednesday that the request for
speedy disbursements was aimed at calming turbulent markets.
"I want to announce that we have agreed with the International Monetary Fund to advance
all the necessary funds to guarantee compliance with the financial program next year.
This decision aims to eliminate any uncertainty that might have arisen around the worsening
of the international context."
After the announcement the peso fell even further, marking its biggest one-day decline
since 2015.
The currency has lost more than 45 percent of its value against the greenback so far
this year, which has prompted Argentina's central bank to sell 500 million dollars in
reserves just this week.

Don't Forget Us - Duration: 1:05.
I've been coming to Huruma for 11 years.
And from day one, there's been a word that's resonated in my head
that David, the leader of Furaha once said to me.
He said Gilbert... don't forget us.
Because other people have come to Huruma or to Furaha and have forgotten them.
In fact, it's one of the things about living in a place like Huruma
you feel forgotten.
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for... forgotten by everybody.
I think that is a much greater hunger,
a much greater poverty, than the person who has nothing to eat.
And that's the reality of life here. People feel forgotten… unwanted.
Thank you for watching this video.
Thank you for wanting to make their story part of your story,
because it tells the people here that they're no longer forgotten.
Thanks for joining the movement of making the invisible, visible.
