UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea Command open their new headquarters at Camp Humphreys - Duration: 3:54.
Here in South Korea, United Nations Command... and U.S. Forces Korea have a new headquarters.
They'll be leaving the base they've used for decades in central Seoul... and relocating
to Camp Humphreys... south of the capital in Pyeongtae, Gyeonggi-do Province.
Our Park Ji-won was at the new headquarters' opening ceremony this morning.
The UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea held a ceremony Friday morning to officially open
their new headquarters at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do Province,.... some
70 kilometers south of Seoul.
Hundreds of key military officials,... including South Korea's defense minister Song Young-moo
and the Commander of UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea General Vincent Brooks,... attended
the ceremony.
"The current turning point on the Korean peninsula is the result of the ROK-U.S. alliance,...
a win without fighting,... through overcoming lots of difficulties.
In this new era, troops of the UN Command and U.S. Forces Korea stationed in Pyeongtaek
will assume new missions that contribute to the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula
and the world, as a stabilizing presence in Northeast Asia."
"Today marks a historic milestone in the history of the United Nations Command which began
in 1950, and the history of the ROK-U.S. alliance.(...)
The UNC continues to be the home for the international commitment with the mandate to restore peace
and security in the defense of the Republic of Korea.
USFK will remain the living proof of the American commitment to the alliance."
General Brooks also expressed gratitude towards the South Korean government's financial contributions
in building the complex.
"This was a project that cost nearly 10.8 billion US dollars to build over 10 years.
The Republic of Korea's investment was over 90 percent of the cost, and for that 90 percent,
the United States remains with you 100 percent."
South Korean President Moon Jae-in also sent a congratulatory message,... read out by his
security aide Lee Sang-chul during the ceremony.
In the message, President Moon stressed the ROK-U.S. alliance has been the foundation
of not only the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula,... but also the democratization
and economic development of South Korea,... and he hoped that the ROK-U.S. alliance becomes
a 'great' alliance,... beyond the current military and comprehensive alliance.
The new base covers over 14 square kilometers, or some 3560 acres.
When complete,... it will contain military facilities, schools, hospitals and even golf
courses.
"This is the largest overseas U.S. base in the world, currently accommodating some 23
thousand people, including U.S. military officials and their families,.. and the base is expected
to grow to some 43 thousand people by 2022."
With the relocation,.. the United Nations Command and U.S. Forces Korea are leaving
Yongsan,... their home for the past six decades,... and plan to complete their move to Camp Humphreys,...
by the end of this year.
Meanwhile, the ROK-US Combined Forces Command will relocate to a building inside South Korea's
defense ministry in central Seoul by the end of the year.

KOSPI touches 13-month low on U.S.-China trade war concerns - Duration: 1:42.
South Korea's main stock index briefly touched its lowest level in 13 months.
Analysts attributed the brisk dip to the trade spat between China and the United States.
Ko-Roonhee help us look beyond the number.
Financial indices in Seoul briefly plunged on Friday.
In the morning, the benchmark KOSPI dropped below the 23-hundred level,… at one point
touching 22-96, its lowest point since May last year.
But the KOSPI rebounded in the afternoon, ultimately posting a gain for the day.
It closed at 23-26... up half a percent from the previous session.
Analysts attributed the brief fall to the trade spat between China and the U.S., which
investors see as having a direct effect on South Korea.
"Many South Korean exporters make parts that go into Chinese and American goods.
If the trade war intensifies, the exports to these countries will likely decrease."
Another main reason is an outflow of foreign capital... that picked up after the U.S. Federal
Reserve rasied interest rates earlier this month.
Some also pointed to local companies performing poorly in the second quarter.
Profit estimates for KOSPI-listed companies in the second quarter have been revised down
8 percent compared to the start of the year.
Anaylsts say the future depends heavily on China and the U.S.
If President Trump goes ahead and imposes more tariffs on China in July, stocks will
likely fall again.
Meanwhile,... Korea's junior stock index, the KOSDAQ, dipped by 5 points in the morning,
but recovered for a nearly 1-percent gain.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to visit Pyongyang next week: report - Duration: 1:40.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will reportedly fly over to Pyongyang next week.
Despite it coming later than first expected, the Trump administration is hoping it can
keep pressure on North Korea to speed up the denuclearization process.
Cha Sang-mi reports.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will reportedly visit North Korea next week, according to
the Financial Times.
Citing four unnamed U.S. officials,... the newspaper on Thursday said Pompeo has cancelled
a planned July 6th meeting with his Indian counterpart in Washington... in order to fly
to Pyongyang.
The officials added that the joint declaration signed by U.S. President Donald Trump and
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 12th,... stipulated that Pompeo would hold "follow-on"
talks with an unnamed senior North Korean official "at the earliest possible date",...
but had given no timeline.
The visit will be the first senior-level meeting between the two sides since that historic
summit in Singapore.
The U.S. State Department wouldn't confirm the Financial Times' report.
Pompeo traveled to North Korea twice before the Singapore summit, the most recent in May,
when he returned to the U.S. with three American hostages who had been detained in the North.
The report comes after Pompeo testified to the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday,
where he stated that contacts with North Korea are ongoing,... with him in charge of the
communication.
Pompeo said he was sure the regime knows the scope of denuclearization the Trump administration
is calling for.
He had also confirmed that no remains of U.S. soldiers killed during the Korean War have
been handed over by the North, but said he was optimistic they will be "in the not too
distant future."

U.S., Japan agree to continue joint military exercises, work together for N. Korea's CVID - Duration: 1:42.
Following a meeting here in the nation,... Washington's defense chief travelled to Tokyo
for talks with his Japanese counterpart.
The two sides agreed to continue military drills and cooperate on denuclearizing North
Korea.
Park Hee-jun shares with us what was discussed.
Washington and Tokyo have agreed to continue their joint military exercises.
During a meeting between U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Japanese Defense
Minister Itsunori Onodera in Tokyo on Friday,... the two sides agreed to keep their joint military
drills going, as well as the trilateral exercises with South Korea, for the stability of the
region.
"We agreed to strengthen the deterrence and defense capabilities of the alliance through
the steadfast implementation of Japan-U.S. joint drills."
The two sides also reaffirmed their goal of North Korea's complete, verifiable, and irreversible
denuclearization.
Mattis said the U.S. and Japan will continue to work together to achieve their goal, based
on their firm alliance.
"Our objective remains the complete, irreversible and verifiable dismantling of North Korea's
nuclear and ballistic missile programs."
And as for the issue of Japanese abductees in North Korea,... Mattis expressed solidarity
with the Japanese government over the issue and said that humanitarian issues are always
part of their deliberations.
Japan is Mattis' last stop of his Asian Tour, after China and South Korea.
The previous day he assured the South Korean government of their "ironclad" alliance,...
and that the U.S. would maintain its troop levels in South Korea.
He also backed the suspension of joint military exercises,... saying that it will help diplomats
negotiate with North Korea.

S. Korean, U.S. defense chiefs reaffirm ironclad alliance and watertight consultations - Duration: 3:22.
Our top story this morning... The defense chiefs of South Korea and the
United States have agreed the Korean peninsula sits at a crucial diplomatic juncture as talks
continue on bringing North Korea into the international fold.
The two were meeting in Seoul on Thursday for their third face-to-face following previous
sit-downs in Hawaii and Singapore earlier this year.
Park Ji-won reports.
In their opening statement before their closed-door meeting,... the two defense chiefs reaffirmed
their steadfast and ironclad alliance,... vowing that they will continue (quote) "watertight"
consultations,... at a time when major changes are happening on the Korean peninsula.
"We're standing at a turning point between the dark shadow of conflict and confrontation
that hung over the Korean peninsula for the last 70 years, and the brighter new history
of peace and cooperation. This is a precious opportunity made by President Moon and U.S.
President Trump's vision and decisions. South Korea and the U. S. pledge their utmost effort
to ensure that this opportunity not only leads to the peace and prosperity of the Korean
Peninsula, but also Northeast Asia and the world."
They also confirmed the decision to suspend the Freedom Guardian exercise,... originally
scheduled for this August. Mattis said the suspension of the joint military
exercises will create a better environment for diplomats to negotiate with the North.
"The recent decision to suspend the Freedom Guardian exercise creates an increased opportunity
for our diplomats to negotiate, increasing the prospects for a peaceful solution on the
Korean Peninsula. At the same time the U.S. and ROK forces remain united, vigilant and
ready to defend against any challenge."
The suspension of the Freedom Guardian exercise, however, doesn't mean that the two countries
will suspend all future military drills. Military sources told Arirang News that the
two defense chiefs agreed that the two countries will decide the timing, scope and scale of
future joint military drills and announce the details together,... considering the North's
progress in denuclearization and the military's combat readiness.
Mattis also stressed that the U.S. will maintain its current troop levels on the Peninsula.
"U.S. commitment to the Republic of Korea remains ironclad and the U.S. will continue
to use a full range of diplomatic and military capabilities to uphold this commitment. This
includes maintaining the current the U.S. force levels on the Korean peninsula."
The two leaders also shared a common view that international sanctions on the North
should remain in effect,.. until Pyongyang takes concrete and irreversible steps for
denuclearization. The two defense chiefs also briefly discussed
the transfer of wartime operational control to South Korea,... but didn't reveal many
details of those discussions. They stressed that this year marks the 65th
anniversary of the signing of the bilateral mutual defense treaty and 50 years of close
consultation through annual joint security consultative meetings,... and they vowed to
further strengthen the alliance,.. in pursuit of the shared goal of peace in the region.

KOSPI touches 13-month low on U.S.-China trade war - Duration: 0:51.
South Korea's main stock index briefly touched its lowest level in 13 months on Friday.
In mid-day trading, the benchmark KOSPI dropped below 23-hundred points… and briefly dipped
as low as 22-96.
But the KOSPI rebounded -- ultimately a gain for the day.
It closed at 23-26,... up half a percent from the previous session.
Analysts attributed the brief fall to the trade spat between China and the U.S., which
investors see as having a direct effect on South Korea's trade with the two countries.
Another main reason is an outflow of foreign capital... that picked up after the U.S. Federal
Reserve raised interest rates earlier this month.
As for Korea's junior stock index, the KOSDAQ, it dipped by 5 points in the morning, but
recovered for a 1 percent gain.

SB1 Funds Major US Hwy. 50 Improvements - Caltrans News Flash #173 - Duration: 1:55.
This is Dennis Keaton with a Caltrans News Flash. I'm along US Highway 50 in
Rancho Cordova where a project is beginning to start to repave about 59
lane miles from Sunrise Boulevard to the El Dorado County line.
On our system SB1 is going to take care of the pavement, bridges, culverts and
traffic management elements, but there's more than that also, there's
money from SB1 that's going towards transit as well so it's helping the
whole transportation system in the state and and that's what we need is to have a
multimodal transportation system and that's why SB1 dollars affect the whole
transportation system. We have not had an increase in the gas tax in more than
two decades. The state's population is growing and with SB 1 funds we can
really begin to make some headway in terms of maintaining the state's
transportation system the way it should be maintained and give people a more
reliable ride and a smoother ride. We look at this is all about safety,
right? As we modernize our roadways and current the engineering then we're able to
have a safer environment both for the commuters as well as safer for the
highway workers and for the Highway Patrol because ultimately this is our
office, isn't it, on the highways. As a result of Senate Bill 1 just within
District 3 we are going to be able to kick start 13 projects which are going
to repave almost to 200 Lane miles of roadbed, going to address 17 bridges
which we need to take care of and as a result we are going to be striping about
1,300 Lane miles of our roadbeds throughout the district as a result of
Senate Bill 1. With the Caltrans News Flash, this is Dennis Keaton.

Supreme Court of the United States Justice Kennedy's 5 Word Reason For Retiring, During Trump Era Ha - Duration: 4:34.
Supreme Court of the United States Justice Kennedy's 5-Word Reason For Retiring, During
Trump Era Has Dems Fuming.
Just after announcing his retirement, vital swing Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy
revealed 5 remarkable words that explain why he chose to retire during President Donald
Trump's term — and liberals couldn't be more outraged.
In an era in which the opposition specializes in social justice, it's crucial to combat
such passive resistance with actual legal justice.
So, while the left is marching in the streets, wearing pink knit hats and chanting repetitive
vulgarities, conservatives are winning elections, passing bills, and implementing legislation.
On Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy made an unexpected announcement that
he will decidedly retire under the current administration, handing President Donald Trump
the opportunity to pick his second judge to inevitably tip the SCOTUS scale to the right.
While addressing Justice Kennedy's announcement, President Trump not only honored the 30-year
SCOTUS judge, he also revealed the real reason the moderate justice chose to step down during
his term instead of that of any other president.
According to Trump, Kennedy feels at peace leaving the open seat for him to fill because
he wants the president to "carry on his great legacy," The Daily Caller reports.
Trump further explained that Kennedy has faith in him and trusts that he will uphold the
law.
"Great man.
And I'm very honored that he chose to do it during my term in office, because he felt
confident in me to make the right choice and carry on his great legacy, that's why he
did it," Trump said of Kennedy's retirement.
While speaking in North Dakota, Trump recognized that incumbent Democratic Sen. Mary Kathryn
"Heidi" Heitkamp will likely deny any nomination he chooses, although he expressed
optimism that he will be able to convince the Senate regardless.
"And remember this, so we have a pick to come up, we have to pick a great one.
We have to pick one that is going to be there for 40 years, 45 years.
We need intellect, we need so many things.
There are so many elements, go into the making of a great justice of the Supreme Court, you
gotta hit every one of them.
Heidi will vote no to any pick we make for the Supreme Court," Trump continued.
However, Heitkamp did accept Trump's SCOTUS nominee Neil Gorsuch in 2017, showcasing the
president's ability to gain support from both sides of the political aisle.
Gorsuch was nominated and confirmed in just over 2 months, giving Democrats a legitimate
reason to worry about Trump's promise to "immediately" begin searching for a replacement
for Kennedy ahead of the November elections.
His pick will undoubtedly sway the Supreme Court toward conservatism, as the remaining
8 justices are evenly politically split.
Expectedly, leftists are lamenting the world's end, arguing that a conservative Supreme Court
will result in Nazi-like legislation, a phobia they justify in their trivializing comparison
of President Trump to Hitler.
Senator Chuck Schumer incited panic in the left, equating the restoration of conservative
American values to the abolition of human rights, The Washington Post reports.
"Nothing less than the fate of our health-care system, reproductive rights for women and
countless other protections for middle-class Americans are at stake," Senate Minority
Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said in a floor speech, calling the Kennedy vacancy
the "most important . . . in at least a generation."
"Millions of people are just months away from determining the senators who should vote
to confirm or reject the president's nominee, and their voices deserve to be heard now,
as Leader McConnell thought they should deserve to be heard then," Schumer said.
"Anything but that would be the absolute height of hypocrisy."
For far too long, the left has wielded the Supreme Court as a weapon against individual
liberties, reducing our constitutional rights to rubble in order to satisfy their desire
to topple Western values.
Now that Trump has the opportunity to swing the Supreme Court, major issues such as abortion,
illegal immigration, LGBTQ privileges, and gun control are in danger of a much needed
legal overhaul.
No longer will the fringe minority be allowed to bully the benevolent majority.
Social justice will soon take a back seat to legal justice.
