The Korean government announced new measures to rid the nation's roads of vehicles that

contribute to air pollution.

The Ministry of Environment plans to invest some 146-million U.S. dollars this year into

scrapping old diesel vehicles... or fitting them with "diesel particulate filters."

The ministry designated more than a dozen cities in Gyeonggi-do Province,... including

Suwon, Goyang, Gimpo, and Incheon,... as "Low Emission Zones,"... where the operation of

old diesel vehicles will be limited.

Until now, this concept applied only to nation's capital.

The new measures are part of efforts to eliminate over 13-hundred tons of fine dust a year.

France recognizes U.S. and pledges support against British - 2/6/1778 - Duration: 1:00.

- Today in military history, 1778,

France formally recognizes the young United States

and pledges aid against Great Britain.

Two treaties were signed that day.

In the Treaty of Amity and Commerce,

France formally recognized the US as an independent entity,

and trade was encouraged between the two countries.

In the Treaty of Alliance, France pledged military aid

in America's revolution, and the US supported

France's goal to conquer the British West Indies,

not a great day for the UK.

As early as 1774, there had been secret emissaries

between France and the American colonists.

In the spring of 1776, the Continental Congress dispatched

a diplomatic envoy, including Benjamin Franklin, Silas Dean,

and Arthur Lee to secure French support.

The news of America's victory at Saratoga

reached Paris in December of 1777

and the Franco-American treaties were rapidly concluded.

They provided the aid and naval fleets

that would prove critical in the defeat of the British

at Yorktown nearly three years later.

Korean stocks drop as U.S. markets slump - Duration: 1:53.

South Korea's main stock index retreated sharply,... following Monday's massive losses on Wall

Street.

The Dow's biggest daily points drop in history came amid fears of inflation and rapid U.S.

rate hikes as the new Fed chair took the reins from Janet Yellen.

Kim Ji-yeon looks beyond the digits.

Korea's benchmark KOSPI closed at the 2-thousand-453 level on Tuesday... down by one-and-a-half

percent from the previous session... mainly due to historic losses on Wall Street.

The losses took the lead from U.S. markets, which tumbled on concerns that both inflation

and interest rates would rise faster than expected... after Jerome Powell took over

as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve replacing Janet Yellen.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded its worst one-day points drop in history...

falling four-point-six-percent from its previous session to 24-thousand-345 on Monday.

The S&P 500 dropped more than four percent... its largest percentage drop since 2011...

and the Nasdaq shed about four percent as well.

Luckily, a local expert says the KOSPI will rebound during the first half once the shock

from U.S. markets ebbs.

"The fundamentals of the Korean economy are generally good and the prices of raw materials

are stable.

Based on expectations that IT-related stocks will improve... we believe the KOSPI will

recover and surpass the 2-thousand-700 level during the first half of this year."

The Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol said he will continue to closely monitor the market

volatility.

A report released by the BOK's New York branch suggests it's highly likely the Federal Reserve

will raise rates four times this year.

If the Fed raises rates next month... it would surpass that of the BOK's... which has maintained

rates at the one-point-five percent level... on par with the U.S.

Kim Ji-yeon reports.

Korea's benchmark KOSPI hovered at the 2-thousand-415 level during mid-day trading on Tuesday...

after plunging more than two-percent during early trading... mainly due to historic losses

on Wall Street.

The KOSPI had already retraced by more than one-percent during the previous two sessions,...

falling below the two-thousand-500 level on Monday.

The secondary tech-heavy KOSDAQ also fell by more than three-percent on the opening

bell on Tuesday... kicking off at 825-point-nine... falling to the 817-level in mid-day trading.

It continued its downward trend from Monday... when it slumped more than four-percent.

The losses took their lead from U.S. markets, which tumbled on concerns that both inflation

South Korea, U.S. top nuclear envoys look beyond PyeongChang after meeting in Seoul - Duration: 1:30.

The top nuclear envoys of South Korea and the United States met in Seoul on Monday,

to discuss North Korea's participation at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and other

issues concerning the Korean peninsula.

They said they were satisfied with how events were unfolding but that more needed to be

done.

"Our joint efforts to make the PyeongChang Olympics an 'Olympics of Peace' are making

good progress.

With all this, I look forward to having in-depth discussions… as to how to move from here

beyond PyeongChang.

"On Friday I met with the Unification Ministry officials.

We had good talks, and I think everyone was happy at the level of cooperation and collaboration

between U.S. and South Korea leading up to the Games."

Seoul's foreign ministery said the two envoys pledged further cooperation with countries

like Russia and China on dealing with North Korea, and promised to continue working closely

together to try and convince the rogue state to, quote, 'make the right choices'.

Later, Lee also held a phone conversation with his Japanese counterpart, Kenji Kanasugi,

where they also reiterated to continue efforts in bringing North Korea back to meaningful

dialogue.

US steamship Tuscania is torpedoed by Germans - 2/5/1918 - Duration: 1:03.

Today in military history, 1918, the US steamship

Tuscania, is torpedoed by the Germans,

and plummets to the bottom of the Irish Sea.

During World War I, merchant ships traveling to Britain

across the Atlantic were constantly

under threat by German submarines.

After a series of attacks, the United Kingdom finally set up

a convoy system, where merchant ships

were accompanied by the British Navy.

This proved to be essential when the US entered the war and

many American soldiers were traveling across the Atlantic.

It was on the 5th of February

when the Tuscania would see her last day.

Traveling from New Jersey toward France,

her convoy was spotted off the coast of Ireland

by the German Submarine, U77.

Under the order of Lieutenant Commander, Wilhelm Meyer,

two torpedoes were fired at the Tuscania

and the second scored a direct hit.

The ship was swallowed by the sea within hours.

The convoy managed to rescue 2187 of the 2397 American

troops, as well as the majority of the British crew.

But the loss left the American people shaken.

U.S. now has 40 import restrictions on Korean goods: KITA - Duration: 0:54.

The U.S. under President Trump is raising the pressure on Korea with more import restrictions.

The Korea International Trade Association, or KITA, says that as of Monday the U.S. had

40 import restrictions affecting Korea.

Thirty of those were anti-dumping measures, eight were countervailing duties and two were

safeguards.

Under President Obama two years ago, the U.S. had just 16 such measures, less than half

as many.

Korean steel and metal products are being affected the most by far, followed by electric

products and electronics.

KITA says it expects still more protectionist moves out of Washington this year.

After the U.S., India had the second most import restrictions on Korean goods with 29,...

followed by China and Turkey with 14 each.

US attacks North Korea, Russia AND China over nuclear ambitions in STUNNING tirade - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 4:37.

US attacks North Korea, Russia AND China over nuclear ambitions in STUNNING tirade

THE UNITED States has taken aim at North Korea, Russia and China and accused the countries

of growing their nuclear stockpiles while "pursuing the development of new nuclear

capabilities to threaten other peaceful nations".

US disarmament ambassador Robert Wood, addressing the UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament

in Geneva, refused to mince his words as he hit out at Washington's nuclear rivals and

issued a terrifying warning and North Korea's increasingly sophisticated weapons programme.

He said: "Russia, China and North Korea are growing their stockpiles, increasing the prominence

of nuclear weapons in their security strategies, and - in some cases - pursuing the development

of new nuclear capabilities to threaten other peaceful nations."

He then warned Pyongyang "may now be only months away from the capability to strike

the US with nuclear-armed ballistic missiles".

The only way to address the "urgent and unpredictable threat to the United States,

its allies and partners" posed by North Korea is, according to Mr Wood, to ensure

the hermit state's nuclear programme is "completely, verifiably and irreversibly

eliminated".

In response, North Korea accused the US of seeking to aggravate the delicate situation

on the Korean peninsula by "deploying large nuclear assets" nearby.

Pyongyang diplomat Ju Yong Chol said the scale of the US military enforcements shows "they

are designed to make a preemptive strike against the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of

Korea]."

Ju said: "US officials including the defence secretary and the CIA director repeatedly

talked about DPRK nuclear and missile threat to justify their argument for a military option

and a new concept of a so-called 'bloody nose', a limited pre-emptive strike on the DPRK is

under consideration within the US administration."

North Korea launched a series of ballistic missiles in 2017 as well as carrying out its

biggest-ever nuclear test, prompting fears across the globe about the Kim regime's

ability to attack the international community.

Estimates on the size of North Korea's arsenal vary but it is likely to be dwarfed by the

weapons caches of its rivals.

The US has 450 silo-based Minuteman III missiles, while Russia has 369 missiles based in silos

or mobile launchers.

China, meanwhile, has between 55 and 65 missiles deployed in an underground tunnel network.

Last month Pyongyang warned the US it has a "powerful and reliable" nuclear deterrent

to thwart any attack from its enemies.

Han Tae Song, North Korea's Ambassador to the UN, told the Conference on Disarmament

that last year's nuclear test allowed his country to "perfect a national nuclear force"

in a transparent manner.

"Thus DPRK [North Korea] at last came to possess a powerful and reliable war deterrent," he

told the Geneva forum.

"I am proudly saying that DPRK's nuclear force is capable of frustrating and countering any

nuclear threats from the US and it constitutes a powerful deterrent that prevents the US

from starting an adventurous war."

He went on to add that as a "responsible nuclear power", North Korea would not use its nuclear

weapons unless foreign states violated its sovereignty or interests.

In response, US disarmament ambassador Mr Wood said Washington would never recognise

the secretive country as a nuclear power and told Pyongyang exactly what it must to to

be welcomed back to the international community.

He said: "The United States will not recognise North Korea as a nuclear weapon state.

"If the North wishes to return and be in the good graces of the international community,

it knows what it has to do, it has to take steps toward denuclearisation of the Korean

peninsula."

In an earlier speech on Tuesday, United Nations disarmament official Izumi Nakamitsu welcomed

an easing of tensions between North and South Korea but called for further steps towards

removing nuclear weapons from the divided peninsula.

1200 Olympic Security Guards Taken Out 24Hrs Before Games Begin – U.S. ATHLETES IN DANGER! - Duration: 5:18.

1200 Olympic Security Guards Taken Out 24Hrs Before Games Begin – U.S. ATHLETES IN DANGER!

The winter Olympics in Pyeongchang is happening soon, but not without a situation that has

people freaking out!

Our most talented athletes will travel to South Korea in the hopes to bring home a gold

medal.

These athletes have been training for years for this fantastic opportunity to compete

on this world stage, but now those dreams may be crushed after what nasty situation

was just discovered.

In just the last few hours before the games are set to begin a frightening threat has

crept upon the Olympians that have already taken out 1200 security guards leaving our

athletes in danger.

Now many people are wondering if the games will even go on as planned or will they have

to get our athletes out of there before the worst case scenario happens.

The preparations for the winter Olympics are almost complete for the first ever games hosted

in Asia outside of Japan.

Of course, this is a huge deal for the South Koreans who are doing their best to roll out

the red carpet for the talented athletes visiting their country.

Government officials have everything in place from cozy accommodations to safe transportation

to and from the events scattered across the region.

However, with all their careful planning they could not foresee an impending danger set

to threaten the world event and those who compete in the games.

As the officials braced for freezing temperatures on Friday night for the opening ceremony,

they were also contending with the highly contagious norovirus outbreak that has already

sidelined 1200 security personnel.

The norovirus that causes vomiting and stomach cramps among other symptoms has not only taken

out security guards but other athletes from different countries forcing them to miss competitions.

How can security work or athletes perform if they're vomiting and suffering from symptoms

of norovirus?

Olympic Games chief Lee Hee-beom sensing the panic sweeping the games announced on Tuesday

in an attempt to calm the fears of everyone competing in the games."We are fully operational

with many of our athletes and officials here and settling into their life in the villages

and training is underway at all venues," Lee told a news conference.

Lee then continued to apologize for the contagious virus, but in all honesty what could he do

to stop it?

Here is more from Reuters:

"As a president of POCOG (organizing committee), I would like to apologize for this," Lee

said.

"Our disease control center other related government agencies here are now discussing

countermeasures and will come up with proper measures and will be announced soon."

The IOC said leaflets about the virus with instructions on what to do were being distributed.

"That is the first thing but you will have also hand sanitizers," Olympic Games Executive

Director Christophe Dubi told reporters.

"All areas are getting disinfected.

They (organizers) will be extremely diligent to sanitize anything that came into contact

with the persons.

Very stringent measures are in place when it comes to food and beverage."

Lee said this would have no effect on security arrangements at the Games, held about 80 kilometers

south of the border to North Korea, with whom South Korea is still technically at war since

1953.

The cold weather, however, could be an issue for organizers with the opening ceremony in

the open-air Olympic stadium expected to be freezing.

Temperatures are currently below freezing throughout the day, dropping to as low as

minus 21 degrees Celsius at night.

Lee said some fans will not attend the opening ceremony despite having bought tickets, while

some competitions could be affected.

"Some have canceled their ticket for the opening ceremony," Lee said.

"Regarding the potential of the delay due to the weather, the International Olympic

Committee and the international federation have strict rules, for example, ski jumping

cannot take place if there's a strong wind.

"We are now installing windscreens at the venue.

Despite our efforts and if there is a strong wind, the event can be delayed but the decision

won't be made by me, it will be made by IOC and the federation."

Lee said a special bag with hot packs, seat warmers, a blanket, a hat and a windbreaker

would be distributed to spectators in an effort to keep them warm at the start of what could

turn out to be the coldest winter Olympics in decades.

Anytime we travel there is the risk of contracting a sickness.

When it happens during a once and a lifetime event like the Olympics, then it can be devastating.

Our athletes and others have trained for years for the chance to compete and now to be ripped

away due to a nasty virus.

We can hope that no one contracts this illness.

Let's cross our fingers and hope that the nasty virus is cleared up quickly and doesn't

extend the location that it's affecting.

Hopefully, no one brings it home with them and they're all healthy enough to perform

their duties in security and athletics.

BREAKING Obama Under PRESSURE After Senator Drops "DEEP STATE" Bombshell… IT'S - BreakingNews24 - Duration: 29:38.

BREAKING Obama Under PRESSURE After Senator Drops "DEEP STATE" Bombshell…

IT'S HAPPENING

According to one Senator, president Donald Trump was forced to speak negatively about

Russia by the deep state.

Trump's brief mention of Russia in his State of the Union address means he doesn't want

a confrontation, but he also wants to "placate the hawks," said Senator Richard Black from

Virginia.

Senator Black said he believes that Russia as well as China receiving only one mention

in the 90-minute address is not a coincidence.

Black argued that president "Trump was forced to refer to China and Russia in negative terms,

but he moved on quickly."

Most of the mainstream media immediately jumped to accuse Trump of being too soft on Moscow

in comparison to his predecessor, Barack Obama, who went on a sanctions crusade against Russia

late in his term.

Black said that while Trump may not give up on his intention to improve relations with

Moscow, it was impossible to make any forward progress thanks to a "deep state" that

"conspired to drive a wedge between us."

According to RT, by initiating a probe into "concocted allegations of Russia collusion"between

Moscow and the Trump campaign team, led by special councilor Robert Muller, "they blocked

President Trump from moving closer to Russia, as he wanted to do," Black argued.

"I do not believe he personally wants to raise tensions with either Russia or China,"

the senator said, adding that the decision by the White House to hold off on sanctions

against Russia under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act [CAATSA]

have "angered the War Hawks."

This decision has also upset the mainstream media (the US's propaganda arm as well.)

According to Black, Trump succumbed to pressure from the war hawks in the deep state too.

This was evident when he announced the US would be beefing up the US military presence

in Afghanistan in August.

"Trump was reportedly angered by his staff's recommendation to expand the war by sending

4,000 additional troops.

But the war hawks prevailed and we continue to waste men and treasure on that ill-fated

venture," Black said.

Contrary to US leader's assurance that "in the end, we will win" in a protracted Afghan

war, the Senator said he believes that "over time, the US is unlikely to experience any

greater success" than the British Empire and the Soviet Union, which were both stuck

in Afghanistan for years.

– RT

The deep state's propaganda arm, the mainstream media, assures the public that there is no

"deep state" and it's all just a conspiracy theory.

FISA memo released — bombshell report reveals MASSIVE Deep State - Duration: 3:51.

FISA memo released � bombshell report reveals MASSIVE Deep State conspiracy to keep Donald

Trump out of the White House

by: JD Heyes

As expected, the so-called �FISA memo� was released at noon on Friday, revealing

serial abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court by upper echelon officials

in the FBI and Justice Department to prevent Donald J. Trump from becoming president, and

to undermine him after he defeated Hillary Clinton in November 2016.

Per Fox News, as many suspected, the discredited and unverified �Trump dossier� was used

not once but on three separate occasions to secure a FISA court surveillance warrant to

enable the Obama administration to illegally spy on Team Trump during his campaign.

In addition, Hillary Clinton, U.S. media outlets, and ranking officials within DOJ and FBI including

former FBI Director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and Deputy Attorney

General Rod Rosenstein were all aware that the dossier was a fictitious political document,

not a serious piece of intelligence work.

As Fox News reported, the four-page memo [which you can read here] also �includes testimony

from a high-ranking government official who says [that] without the infamous Trump dossier,

the FBI and DOJ would not have secured surveillance warrants to spy on at least one member of

the Trump team.�

The memo also states that DOJ and FBI officials used media reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion

allegations to bolster their case for a FISA court warrant.

That is a substantial revelation because the memo also talks about how the dossier�s

creator, former British spy Christopher Steele � who was commissioned by Fusion GPS to

assemble the dossier � briefed a number of media outlets on its contents over the

summer of 2016, as Trump gained steam.

�The memo shows that after� Steele was cut off from the FBI, he continued to pass

information, as did Fusion GPS, through Justice Department Official Bruce Ohr,� Fox News

continued.

�Ohr�s wife Nellie began working for Fusion GPS as early as May 2016.� (Related: FISA

memo update: GOP will make case FBI probe of Trump-Russia �collusion� based on TAINTED

evidence)

The memo implicates a massive conspiracy involving Steele, Fusion and the Hillary Clinton campaign,

which paid for the dossier through a third party law firm, Perkins Coie.

�The�compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National

Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page

FISA application,� the memo states, referencing a surveillance warrant obtained to spy on

a former Trump campaign official.

�Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton

campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research fir Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory

information on Donald Trump?s ties to Russia,� it continued.

Syria: US and Russia clash at UN after Washington condemns reported chlorine gas attacks - Duration: 2:01.

The aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in Saraqeb

in Syria's northwestern Idlib province.

It happened on Sunday amid ongoing strikes

by President Bashar al-assad's forces.

medics say they treated nine people for breathing problems.

The United States says the Syrian government is to blame.

The country's foreign ministry says Washington's accusations are lies.

The U.S. also says Russia is protecting its longtime ally in the region

and blocking a proper investigation into the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Both countries clashed at a UN Security Council meeting on Monday.

"There is obvious evidence from dozens of victims

so we proposed a Security Council press statement

condemning these attacks.

So far Russia has delayed the adoption of this statement.

A simple condemnation of Syrian children being suffocated by chlorine gas."

"Today's meeting is being used by the United States,

being used by the United Kingdom,

to slander the Russian Federation.

Prior to this they needed to undertake a powerful slander campaign

and attacks against Russia.

And this is not the first time

to once again attempt to cast doubt on Russia's role

in the political settlement in Syria."

Diplomatic efforts to end the conflict are deadlocked.

There have even been rival peace talks:

UN-backed negotiations and an initiative organised by Russia, Iran and Turkey.

It was boycotted by the main opposition group however,

a clear indication of the divisions that remain

and the divisions that must be overcome

if there's to be an end to this seven-year war.
