North Korea has criticized South Korea and the U.S. for participating in a naval drill
last week with Japan.
Held last Tuesday through Thursday, their navies trained in stopping the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction.
Pyongyang's propaganda website Uriminzokkiri said Monday that the U.S. joining in the drill,
in view of the Singapore declaration, was a provocation.
The website said North Korea is trying to build peace and harmony, and accused Washington
is being contradictory in promising to improve their relationship while at the same time
participating in a drill that targets the North.

Mueller: US Citizens Face Jail If They Donated To Trump Inauguration
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has warned that U.S. citizens could face prosecution
if they donated to Trump's inaugural fund.
Dirty cop Mueller has begun investigating a handful of American citizens who donated
to the fund, simply because they have 'foreign connections.'
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: What the hell does this have to do with Trump's so-called
collusion with Russia to hack the DNC's servers?
Since dirty cop Robert Mueller has nothing on President Trump he continues to rove around
unchecked, investigating anyone and anything.
Mueller is now harassing American citizens who legally donated to Trump's inauguration.
ABC reported:
According to a source who has sat with the Mueller team for interviews in recent weeks,
the special counsel is examining donors who have either business or personal connections
in Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Several donors with those ties contributed large sums to the non-profit fundraising entity
– gifts that topped out at $1 million dollars, according to public records.
Special counsel investigators have also asked witnesses about specific inauguration donors,
including American businessmen Leonard Blavatnik, and Andrew Intrater, according to sources
familiar with the Mueller sessions.
Neither has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Blavatnik is a billionaire with dual U.S. and British citizenship who has extensive
business ties in Russia.
Blavatnik gave $1 million to the inaugural fund through his company, Access Industries,
according to FEC records.
Companies are prohibited from giving donations to political candidates, however, donations
to inaugural committees are not considered donations to candidates.
Intrater, an American relative and business associate of Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg,
runs a U.S. company with deep ties to Vekselberg's Russia-based global conglomerate, Renova Group.
Renova was recently sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Intrater serves as the CEO of Columbus Nova, an investment company based in New York.
FEC records show Intrater made a $250,000 donation to the Trump inauguration committee
in early January 2017.
Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein are a disgrace to this country.
Both need to be fired and investigated for their years of corruption and involvement
in the Uranium One scandal.
Mueller has a history of charging innocent men for crimes they didn't commit, botching
cases and using raids to intimidate Americans.
Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 for accepting over $1.8 million in donations
with erroneous contribution dates, Politico previously reported.
We know Obama took in way more than $1.8 million in foreignmysterious donations; this is just
what was 'reported.'
President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission
for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a
presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
The fine — laid out in detail in FEC documents that have yet to be made public — arose
from an audit of the campaign, which was published in April.
POLITICO obtained a copy of the conciliation agreement detailing the fine, which was sent
to Sean Cairncross, the chief lawyer for the Republican National Committee, one of the
groups that filed complaints about the campaign's FEC reporting from 2008.
The document outlined other violations, such as erroneous contribution dates on some campaign
reports.
The Obama campaign was also late returning some contributions that exceeded the legal
limit.
So why wasn't there a special counsel witch hunt into Obama?
Mueller investigating Americans who donated to Trump's inauguration is outrageous because
donations to an inaugural fund are not considered campaign donations.

Emerging economies' foreign debt in Q1 reaches US$ 8.5 trillion - Duration: 0:46.
Emerging economies are in more debt than ever.
The Korea Center for International Finance said Tuesday that emerging countries debt
as of the first quarter of this year has reached 8-point-5 trillion U.S. dollars.
That's more than double the 3-point-9 trillion dollars they owed in 2008 during the global
financial crisis.
Debt in foreign currencies account for 76 percent of the amount.
According to the research center, Turkey had the highest debt relative to GDP at 70 percent,
Hungary came next with 64 percent and Argentina with 53 percent.
Rising interest rates in the United States have triggered capital flight from some of
these countries and destabilized exchange rates, which will make it harder to repay
the loans.

U.S. to invest $113 mil. in Indo-Pacific region to support digital economy, energy, infrastructure - Duration: 1:53.
The Trump administration has announced its plan to engage with the Indo-Pacific region
in all areas by investing over one hundred million U.S. dollars in the region.
The initiative comes amid a trade spat between the U.S. and China over import tariffs,...
and pundits say such investment could lead to possible power struggle between the two
superpowers.
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the Trump Administration's plan to invest
over one hundred million U.S. dollars in the Indo-Pacific region.
Speaking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Forum in Washington on Monday,... Pompeo said the
initiative is part of President Trump's Indo-Pacific strategy of engaging more deeply with the
region.
"So just as the United States made foundational contributions in the past, today I'm announcing
$113 million in new U.S. initiatives to support foundational areas of the future: digital
economy, energy and infrastructure.
These funds represent just a down payment on a new era in U.S. economic commitment to
peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region."
He also stressed that the U.S. will never seek to dominate the region,... considering
that it has also fought for independence just like many of its Asian allies and friends.
Such a remark is believed to be made in reference to Beijing amid heightened tensions in the
South China Sea.
Pundits also say Washington's investment could be aimed at countering China's "Belt and Road
Initiative,"... adding that the power struggle between the world's two superpowers could
intensify in the region,... following their recent trade tensions over import tariffs.
The top U.S. diplomat added that he'll announce America's new security assistance plans for
the region when he visits Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia this week.

What If America Banned Canadians? - Duration: 4:19.
The united states and Canada are good friends on the global stage, and they have been for
many years.
But recently, due to a trade, relations are turning sour.
The American government has placed tarrifs on American goods like Orange Juice, bourbon
and mattresses.
And furthermore, the US is reportedly issuing lifetime travel bans on any Canadians who
are connected with Canada's cannabis industry, and that includes people who have used marijuana.
In case you didn't know, Canada will be legalizing marijuana at a federal level on
October 17th 2018.
There are going to be a lot of Canadians involved in the marijuana industry following this date,
Canada's cannabis industry is going corporate.
And if cannabis is legal, there will be a lot of Canadians that are using it, while
it remains illegal in the united states at a federal level.
What could this mean for US Canada relations?
Lets imagine, at least for the next few minutes, what would happen if America banned Canadians?
Hello and welcome back to life's biggest questions, the channel that imagines the impossible,
I'm charlotte dobre.
Make sure you show this channel some love by leaving a like on this video, and if this
is your first time here, subscribe to life's biggest questions for more of life's biggest
answers.
In 2017, statistics Canada estimated that nearly 5 million Canadians spent 5.7 billion
on cannabis.
Canadian companies on stock exchanges related to cannabis are worth 48.64 billion.
Another statistic, 49.4 percent of Canadian men and 35.8 percent of Canadian women admit
to using marijuana at some point in their lives.
Even if canadians invest in stocks related to the cannabis industry, they may experience
issues at the border.
A prominent businessman named Sam Znaimer has already been banned for life from entering
the united states even though he didn't admit to personally using marijuana.
And hes not the only one.
According to US immigration lawyer Len Saunders, the number of Canadian businesspeople denied
entry to the united states and given lifetime travel bans is growing.
So now that you know that the chances of America banning Canadians is very high, lets talk
about might happen.
Once a Canadian is banned for life, they would have to see help through an immigration lawyer
to obtain a legal waiver.
But the cost of getting one of these waivers is expensive, not to mention it will take
up to a year to process.
One of these waivers will cost 585 dollars US, according to the US customs and border
protection website.
If you can manage to get one, These waivers will be good for 1 to 5 years.
A Canadian would have to do this every time they wanted to cross the border into Canada.
This would definitely make travelling to the states a bit of a pain in the ass.
Most people would avoid it unless absolutely necessary.
If America banned Canadians, that would make a lot of things very difficult.
Think about professional sports.
American teams, if they are continuing to play against Canadian teams, would only be
allowed to play on Canadian soil, if at all.
There are also a lot of artists, actors, musicians, writers who travel to the united states for
work, to perform, to make movies, all of which will have difficulties gaining entry.
Your buddy drake?
Yeah he probably wont play shows in the states anymore, or at least, not as many.
And lets not forget how the ban could affect tourism.
In 2017, Canadians crossed the US border more than 20 million times.
Canadian travel to the united states went up 5 percent in comparison with the previous
year.
But travel from other countries to the united states actually decreased in recent years.
United States tourism is a huge industry.
A 1.5 trillion dollar industry to be exact.
At least 10 million people are employed by the tourism industry, either directly or indirectly.
A lot of Canadians visit the united states, a lot of Canadians buy American goods.
If Canadians are banned from entering the united states, all that money made from tourism
will no longer be flowing in.
On the flipside, Canadians won't be able to, or even want to buy American goods.
For the people who do, there will undoubtedly be black markets popping up, where americans
will sell American goods to Canadians for double if not triple the price.
How can Canadians avoid this?
Well definitely don't admit to using marijuana at a US port of entry.
A Canadian has the right to refuse the question, but if they refuse, that can also result in
being arrested along with an immediate and indefinite lifetime ban.
Marijuana remains classified in the same category as heroin and cocaine in the US.
Lets hope, in the future, more research will be done that will change the government's
opinion on marijuana.

States sue to keep 3D-printed gun plans offline - Duration: 1:24.
Nine states are planning to sue the Trump administration to
block 3D-printed gun designs from being available online.
Blueprints for the guns will become legal to post and
download Wednesday, though according to the Pennsylvania
attorney general's office, at least 1,000 people had already
downloaded plans for an AR-15 assault-style rifle by Sunday.
Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson is leading
the suit and said Monday, "These downloadable guns are
unregistered and very difficult to detect, even with metal
detectors, and will be available to anyone regardless of age,
mental health, or criminal history." In June, the
government reached a settlement with the founder of Defense
Distributed, Cody Wilson. That allowed for Defense Distributed
to legally make 3D-printed gun blueprints available on its
website on Aug. 1. A lawyer for Wilson had called attempts to
block the designs' publication a freedom of speech issue.
Meanwhile, in a separate action, 21 state attorneys general wrote
a letter asking Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions to withdraw from the settlement.
It read, "In addition to helping arm terrorists and transnational
criminals, the settlement and proposed rules would provide
another path to gun ownership for people who are prohibited by
federal and state law from possessing firearms."

US pastor Andrew Brunson leaves prison in Turkey - Duration: 2:04.
Hello everyone, My name is Ali Han Kaya . Today I will talk about title of a news from BBC.com
Title is : US pastor Andrew Brunson leaves prison in Turkey
It may look like in order to grasp the news by looking to the title readers need to know
about context however we can have a general idea about the news
with reference to some points provided in title.
First of all redears have to have a cultural background which provides the knowledge of
what us pastor means.
By our cultural background we know that it means protestant priest who is an american
citizen and as it continue as us pastor Andrew Brunson , we know that
andrew brunson is a protestan priest who is an american citizen
this news has been written on the assumption that brunson's conviction in turkey has been
known before.
However there are words in title which are giving clues about the context.
''Leaves prison'' shows that he was in jail and he is being released .and leaves prison
in turkey shows that he was being held as a prisoner in turkey.
Here we can see an euphemism example as the author probably prefered to use verb to leave
rather than to be released in order to avoid an unpleasant
language so only the title gives us the knowledge of
: andrew brunson is a protestan priest who is
an american citizen and he was being held as a prisoner in turkey
moreover and he is being released To sum up as it can be seen only a small title
can tell us the story in reference to the clues that are provided
in the title.
