Now for a look at stories making headlines around the world and we start with the government

shutdown in the United States.

Congress voted on Monday to end the three-day shutdown after both parties agreed to hold

a debate on pending issues.

For more on this and other news we turn to our Ro Aram…

Aram… there has been a lot of finger-pointing over the past couple of days….does it look

as if some compromise has been made?

Well Semin… for the time being it does look that way and both sides voted on Monday for

a temporary funding bill.

Senate Democrats dropped their objections in return for assurances from Republican leaders

that they will soon take up contentious issues, especially in regards to immigration.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said he got that reassurance from Senate Majority

Leader Mitch McConnell, but he still expressed frustration at the White House for not engaging

in talks.

(English) AP - 4136211 / 1 "And the White House refused to engage in

negotiations over the weekend.

The great deal-making president sat on the sidelines...Despite and because of this frustration,

I've been having conversations with the Republican leader over the weekend about a path forward.

After several discussions, offers, counteroffers, the Republican leader and I have come to an

arrangement..."

Tens of thousands of federal workers will go back to work on Tuesday after Monday's

vote was ratified by the House of Representatives.... and it now just needs the signature of President

Trump.

But, the funding arrangement will only provide cash to the government for the next two and

a half weeks, stopping the shutdown until February 8th.

During that period both parties will try to find common ground on the issue that started

the whole impasse - the plight of about 700-thousand so-called "Dreamer" immigrants, who were brought

to America illegally as children.

U.S. to impose tariffs on Samsung, LG washing machines - Duration: 1:56.

The U.S. government is planning to slap tariffs on Samsung and LG washing machines as well

as foreign solar panels sold in the U.S. market, adding teeth to President Trump's "America

First" trade policies.

Kim Mok-yeon has more.

The U.S. Trade Representative's office announced a list of safeguard measures that the U.S.

plans to impose on imports of Samsung and LG-made washing machines and solar panels.

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said on Tuesday that President Trump has made

his final decision on the issue, adding that Trump's decision clearly reflects his willingness

to defend American workers and businesses.

With the latest announcement, a twenty-percent tariff will be applied on imports of washing-machines

under 1.2 million units, and a 50 percent tariff on imports exceeding the quota in the

first year, with tariffs falling by 2 and 5 percent per year respectively for the following

two years.

On imports of products in the solar industry, the tariff rate will be set at 30 percent,

and will be reduced to a 15 percent tariff rate over the next four years, with the first

two-point-five gigawatts being exempt from the tariff.

The new safeguard measures, which come 16 years after the U.S. imposed tariffs on imported

steel products in 2002, are expected to deal a big blow to Korea's manufacturing firms.

Following the news, South Korea's trade ministry vowed to file a petition to the World Trade

Organization over Washington's safeguard measures.

Trade Minister Kim Hyun-jong said that the Korean government will work to defend the

nation's interests by claiming its rights guaranteed under the WTO agreement.

Samsung and LG, two of Korea's major electronics manufacturers have been exporting a combined

1 billion dollars a year of large residential washing machines to the U.S., with Samsung

holding 16 percent, and LG 13 percent, of the U.S. washing machine market share.

U.S.A The next civil war 'IF' the U.S will collapse? - Duration: 5:56.

Hello welcome to IF We post new videos biweekly

Hit that subscribe button to stay up to date with the latest.

Let me quickly begin by saying thank you to all the new subscribers that have joined the

channel.

If we continue to support one another by subscribing, like I mentioned in the last video

We can get through the recent knock back for small creators from YouTube.

In this video we take a look at the United States a country that is becoming increasingly

divided.

We ask if this division could end with a new civil war!

Has the countdown to war begun?

At the stroke of midnight Friday 19 January 2018, the federal government shut down.

Negotiations crumbled as Senate Democrats blocked a four-week stopgap extension, this

causing the fourth government shutdown in twenty five years.

Critical government functions did continue, with uniformed service members, health inspectors

and law enforcement officer's continuing to work without pay.

Both parties were quick to blame the other.

Democrats laid blame on the Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress and the

White House and have struggled with building an internal consensus.

Republicans declared that Democrats were responsible after they declined to provide the votes needed

to overcome an immigration policy filibuster.

This infighting and growing vocal opposition to the President is beginning to manifest

some darker resentment.

There is a chasm forming in the US, can this be solved?

Will we see an escalation and violence?

It's easy to think that a second civil war may occur in a similar way to the first: two

institutionalized factions wielding armies against one another along strategic fronts.

Generals choosing a side, Troops from all sides fighting to claim victory

this once again seeing brother fighting brother.

The outcome a winner-take-all restructuring of the United States and its power base.

However in this day and age it's not how wars are fought.

We would most likely see networks forming, tasking small strike force units, a guerrilla

based war, no monolithic forces clashing in huge face to face battles.

A Homeland conflict would be asymmetrical, as groups split along racial, religious, and

economic lines.

These groups would more than likely use high-value terror attacks against soft and hard targets.

This combined with light skirmishes along the overlapping edges of their networks.

These factions may form, disband and reform using their networks to organize and carry

out attacks.

Much alike a resistance movement in an occupied country.

The new civil war would have a more digital element than other civil wars.

The cyber age opening up a new front with propaganda and media manipulation be critical

to all sides.

Network analysis used to map and track these groups across their digital territories and

to identify their backers, funders, and agitators.

These backers may also be in the form of foreign adversaries.

The US has been struggling internationally with many bad policy choices causing a souring

of many international relationships.

These nations may take the opportunity to fund and support different sides of the conflict.

Also recent immigration changes have divided families and provide a group from which recruitment

would be easy, these deportees choosing to fight for a country where they can once again

be with their loved ones.

If a civil war doe's break out one thing is for sure it will be a long drawn out affair.

The impact of the war would be felt worldwide, economically, politically and socially.

Some countries could use the time to assert their dominance over global politics, this

could then have the knock on effect of causing more instability globally.

If a civil wars occurs in the US it could well be the first domino of a wider conflict.

Love or the hate the US it undeniable that its presence helps to keep the status quo.

If it was to descend into war the rest of the world may just follow.

For now, America is held in line with a strong rule of law and a fairly strong economy this

means most people still have something to lose by choosing violence.

But as the government continues to deconstruct rule of law and economic opportunity, the

shutdown being the most recent sign of its dysfunction the likelihood of a second U.S.

civil war grows.

Do you think The USA is heading toward civil war?

What global impact do you think it would have?

Seoul's trade minister to file WTO petition over U.S. safeguard measures - Duration: 1:54.

Following that announcement, South Korea's trade ministry vowed to file a petition to

the World Trade Organization over Washington's safeguard measures.

Kim Mok-yeon gets us up to speed with the developments.

Korea's trade ministry announced that it will work to defend Korea's interests by claiming

its rights guaranteed under the World Trade Organization agreement.

In a meeting with industry officials on Tuesday, Trade Minister Kim Hyun-chong said that the

ministry plans to file a petition with the WTO against Washington's latest so-called

safeguard, which he called "excessive" and a "violation" of WTO provisions.

Kim said the safeguard appears to consider only Washington's own political situation

and not international regulations.

The minister expressed confidence that Korea can win the case, pointing to past cases it

won against the U.S. regarding steel safeguards in 2002, and anti-dumping duties on washing

machines in 2013 and 2014 He said the ministry plans to proceed with

the petition by forming a united front with other countries affected by Washington's protectionist

trade practices.

But an expert on trade says things might not be that simple.

(KOREAN) " The U.S. has lost a case on safeguards before,

so I hear they have prepared a thorough defense.

So even if we file the petition, we cannot be 100% sure of winning."

There are also concerns that the safeguards won't stop with washing machines and solar

cells and modules.

(ENGLISH) "I think the impact could spread over to other

sectors -- likewise the topics that are under FTA negotiations again such as automobiles

and intellectual property.

We have to pay extreme attention to what sector their real intentions are in."

Experts say that in addition to the government's petition, it's also important to bring the

issue up in negotiations and create an opportunity to communicate with U.S. authorities.

Mexican Uber driver in US illegally charged with four rapes - Duration: 2:37.

Mexican Uber driver in US illegally charged with four rapes

A California Uber driver living in the country illegally has been charged with raping, assaulting

and robbing at least four young women.

Alfonso Alarcon-Nunez, 39, faces 10 criminal charges, including forcible rape, rape of

an intoxicated victim, oral copulation of an intoxicated victim and first degree burglary.

He pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts Monday and was being held on $1.4 million bail.

San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow said Alarcon-Nunez was not always driving

for Uber when he picked up those women but added that the alleged crimes show that the

company should improve its driver screening process.

Prosecutors say Alarcon-Nunez targeted women who were on their way home from parties.

After driving them home, investigators say he would assault the women and steal their

property -- including cell phones and jewelry.

Authorities told KSBY that Alarcon-Nunez would collect payment for the rides through Venmo

to disguise his identity and his Uber records.

Prosecutors say he has also used the alias "Bruno Diaz" and his Venmo username was "Brush

Bat."

Dow said Monday that Alarcon-Nunez's alleged victims are between 19 and 22 years old and

three were intoxicated when they were assaulted.

The alleged crimes are said to have occurred in December and January in San Luis Obispo,

a city of about 45,000 with a large population of college students.

Predators in cars parked outside bars or restaurants "jump in front of the actual Uber driver and

they will take someone unsuspecting to their home.

And that's a way of putting someone at risk, and in this case that's exactly what's alleged

to have happened," Dow said.

Dow urged Uber users to make sure they are getting in the car of the correct driver by

verifying the license plate and other information provided to clients.

Dow says detectives are looking for potential witnesses and trying to determine if there

are additional victims in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties northwest of Los

Angeles.

Officials say Alarcon-Nunez, originally from Mexico, returned to the U.S. illegally after

a voluntary deportation from New Mexico in 2005.

Dow did not have details about why he was deported or whether he has a criminal record

in the U.S.

Alarcon-Nunez's immigration status will not have a bearing on the prosecution, Dow said.

He could face life in prison if convicted on all charges.

North Korea 'handful of months' away from being capable of nuking U.S. - Duration: 0:41.

North Korea is only a "handful of months" away from being capable of striking the mainland

United States with a nuclear weapon,... this according to the head of the Central Intelligence

Agency.

The latest assessment by Mike Pompeo comes after the North tested three intercontinental

ballistic missiles and a sixth nuclear weapon last year.

In an interview with CBS aired on Monday,... Pompeo said North Korea's nuclear weapons

program is continuing to "expand, advance, become more powerful, more capable, and more

reliable".

He added that Washington is working diligently to extend that timeline.

machines" in the U.S. market, destroying what used to be a "good job-producing business."

on all subsequent imports in the first year, with tariffs lowering in the next two years.
