The United States has added more firms to its growing list of sanctions... saying that

it will keep on pressuring Pyongyang... until the regime fully denuclearizes.

Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

The Trump administration has imposed new sanctions against two Russian shipping companies and

six vessels for violating the UN Security Council resolutions.

The U.S. Treasury Department announced Tuesday that the Vladivostok-based companies transported

petroleum products to North Korean vessels, in violation of international sanctions.

It confirmed a Russian-flagged ship transported over three-and-a-half thousand tons of oil

to North Korean vessels earlier this year.

The Treasury also explained that the buyer was North Korea's Taesong Bank,... which has

already been slapped with sanctions by Washington for engaging in illicit economic activities

for the regime.

Explaining that the sanctions will remain in place until Pyongyang achieves final, fully

verifiable denuclearization,...

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin stressed that those who violate the UN restrictions

on North Korea will be sanctioned under U.S. law.

This is third round of North Korea-related sanctions imposed by the Trump administration

just this month,... and can be interpreted as added pressure against the regime ahead

of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's scheduled fourth visit to Pyongyang soon.

South Korea and the U.S. began the sixth round of talks on sharing defense costs.

For two days, senior officials from the both sides will hold the negotiations at the Korea

Institute for Defense Analyses in the nation's capital.

In the previous sessions,.... Washington repeatedly asked Seoul to increase its shoulder a greater

share... highlighting "operational support".... is added to the bill to pay for the U.S. Forces

Korea.

The new category includes.... deployment of aircraft carriers,... long-range bombers and

nuclear submarines.

U.S., China to attempt revival of trade negotiations - Duration: 1:54.

Washington and Beijing will again sit down for talks... to try and revive trade negotiations

that ended unsuccessfully back in June.

However, neither side is optimistic of making much progress.

Lee Seung-jae provides a glimpse of what to expect.

The world's two biggest economic powerhouses are set to take another stab at easing their

trade tensions,... as U.S. Treasury Under Secretary David Malpass will meet with his

Chinese counter Wang Shouwen in Washington on Wednesday.

The meeting will be the first between senior officials since June,... when talks between

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Vice Premier Liu He ended without an agreement.

According to U.S. and Chinese officials,... this week's talks will center on a list of

more than 140 specific demands,... which were originally drafted by the Trump administration

for the first round of trade talks in May.

This includes the U.S. wanting China to raise the value of its currency.

Sources say,... in a private discussion with U.S. counterparts,...

Chinese officials have indicated they would be willing to implement or discuss about two-thirds

of the demands.

However, neither side is optimistic the upcoming meeting can succeed where three earlier rounds

have failed.

In an interview with Reuters on Monday,...

President Trump said he had low expectations for the talks,... and the U.S. was in no rush

to resolve the dispute.

Beijing officials have said that Trump's constant provocations have made it extremely difficult

for them to offer conciliatory gestures.

Despite many American businesses being affected by the recent tit-for-tat measures,... observers

say Trump believes he can win a trade war with China.

This, according watchers,... adds to the chance that President Trump will proceed with his

latest threat to hit China with tariffs on another 200-billion dollars worth of goods.

95-year-old suspected Nazi living in U.S. deported to Germany - Duration: 0:37.

A 95-year-old suspected Nazi war criminal living in the United States has been deported

to Germany.

Jakiw Palij (Yakif Paly) lived in New York City and is accused of lying about his wartime

work when he immigrated to the U.S.

He has denied allegations that he worked at a Nazi camp, saying he only served as a Nazi

guard because his family was threatened.

He was stripped of his American citizenship in 2003 and his deportation was ordered about

a year later, but for more than a decade no country would take him in.

Palij is however unlikely to be prosecuted in Germany due to a lack of evidence.

A Day in the Life: U.S. Park Police Mounted Unit Officer - Duration: 3:47.

(Police radio sounds, and sounds of horse's hoof beats.)

To be a horse-mounted officer you're carrying on a legacy.

You're carrying on some history behind it, to patrol on the horse in the greatest city

in the world.

(Music plays, sounds of crickets and singing birds)

The day begins at 0600 and the moment that I arrive here at the barn I immediately check

on the status of my horse, and all the horses in the barn to make sure that there's no apparent

injuries of some sort.

This is Delilah, she's a nine-year old Percheron thoroughbred cross.

As you can see we caught her in the middle of breakfast right now, but I'll make it up

to her in a little bit.

The moment that I find that she's good to go I then begin to giver her a bath, brushing

her off, tacking her up, and then after we've done so, we start putting on her saddle her

reins, and we're off for patrol for whatever assignment is due for me that day.

(Music)

On a beautiful day such as this, as a horse-mounted officer it's wonderful to get out and patrol

and to introduce yourself to the public and to assure them that they're safe.

(Music)

Often times they're so overwhelmed by what they're seeing because they've never seen

it before, that they just want to at least overcome their fear to touch her.

Delilah is an excellent horse in temperament she takes a lot of the characteristics of

the Percheron, she's really low key I've had her for the last four years.

She didn't necessarily come on auto pilot, despite her disposition...

(Horse whinnies)

...but the benefit of being part draft horse, she's been really patient with me and she

doesn't spook easy.

First ten years of my career I was in patrol and I wanted a challenge, and what greater

challenge there was than to learn how to ride a horse in the best city in the United States,

and that's Washington DC.

(Music)

The moment we end our patrol here at the barn we dismount the horse, bring the horse in,

untack the horse, making sure that there is no apparent cuts, or any bruises, anything

that may have occurred during patrol, making sure there's no stones in the hoof, getting

any saddle stains off of the back.

And then once we allow them to go back into their stall, feed the horse by grain and hay,

refill their buckets with water, and it's the end of our day.

(Music)

The primary mission for the mounted Park Police officer is demonstrations.

Fortunately we don't have many demonstrations so on my average patrol it is community policing.

It is monitoring the community, just surveilling the area for various crimes of some sort.

But it is primarily police presence and demonstrations.

To represent a mounted unit that is known nationwide and to carry on the legacy and

the reputation which is rightfully earned... more so than anything, meeting new people

every day, and seeing how they react when they see a beautiful horse like Delilah, and

putting a smile on their face, and assuring them that they're in good hands.

(Music plays, fades)

Britain urges EU, US to 'go further' in countering Russia for Skripal attack - Duration: 1:38.

The International fallout from the Skripal poisoning continues,

as new US sanctions punishing Russia over the incident

come into effect.

The Trump administration is limiting exports of

sensitive national security goods to Russia,

such as electronic devices and components,

with calibration equipment used in avionics also targeted.

And it's thought the measures could cut off

hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Russian state imports.

A second more hard-hitting round of sanctions will be imposed three months later,

if Moscow doesn't provide reliable assurances

that it's no longer using chemical weapons

and fails to agree to on-site UN chemical inspections.

The U.K. has welcomed the move

but on Tuesday demanded that the EU join the U.S.

and do more to apply pressure on Moscow.

"And today the United Kingdom asks its allies

to go further

by calling on the European Union

to ensure its sanctions against Russia are comprehensive

and that we truly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the U.S.

That means calling out and responding to transgressions with one voice."

Despite standing behind Britain

and blaming the Kremlin for the nerve agent attack

on a former Russian spy earlier this year,

the EU has not increased its sanctions on Moscow.

Its current economic sanctions are related to Russia's annexation of Crimea

and other activity in the region.

In place until the end of January 2019,

any new measures would require agreement from all 28 member-states,

but it's thought they're divided

on what the bloc's response against Moscow should be.

CAN U.S NAVY DEFEND AGAINST BRAHMOS ANTI SHIP MISSILE? - Duration: 6:38.

The most credible threat to U.S Navy surface combatants like destroyers and supercarrier

comes from the anti-ship missile.

One of the most potent anti-ship missiles is the Brahmos missile.

The BrahMos cruise missile is produced by India-based BrahMos Aerospace, set up in 1998,

and is a joint venture between India's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO)

and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia.

India is an ally of US and Indo-American relationship has been getting stronger in the last decade.

But this is not the case with Russia which is a rival.

In this video Defense Updates, analyzes if U.S Navy can defend against Brahmos missile?

Let's get in the details.

Brahmos weigh in at 3000 kg, has a length of 8.4 m and diameter of 0.6 m.

It has a solid fuel rocket booster for the first stage and liquid-fueled ramjet for the

second stage.

Brahmos can be launched from aircraft, land installations and warships.

It is being tested for induction into submarines also.

A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with a

speed of Mach 7-8 to boost aerial fast strike capability.

It is expected to be ready for testing by 2020

Brahmos is currently considered to be one of a most deadly anti-ship missile.

The reason is its unique features.

Let's check them.

1. It has a supersonic speed of Mach 3 or 1 km per second providing very little time to intercept.

2. Brahmos uses a 300 kg Semi-Armor piercing warhead and also has very high Kinetic energy

since Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

Brahmos actually has about 9 times the Kinetic Energy of conventional subsonic missile

like Tomahawk.

The combined destructive force of massive warhead and kinetic energy is lethal for even

the biggest surface combatants.

Brahmas has been known to break ships in half in several tests.

3. It can perform S maneuvers in final stages of flight.The missile basically doesn't

move in straight line, making it very hard to intercept.

4. There are lots of redundancies in the guidance system - right from the INS, GPS, GLONASS

and GAGAN making it hard to jam.

5.The accuracy of around 1 square meter makes it apt for a precision strike on high-value targets.

6. Russia is a signatory of the MTCR (Missile Technology Control Regime) and India was not.

According to the MTCR guidelines Russia could not help or jointly develop a missile with

a none MTCR nation, whose range is more than 300 KM.

This is why Brahmos range had to be limited below 300 KM initially.

But last year India has entered MTCR and both countries are now working to increase the

range to 600 km.

The excellent range will enable it to be launched from standoff distances.

The best defense against the Brahmos missile is to destroy the launch platforms before

the missile could be launched.

The diverse launch platform makes this task difficult but not impossible.

Once the Brahmos gets launched successfully, it's a totally different ball game.

The normal procedure is to direct fighter jets from nearby aircraft carriers towards

the incoming missile and shoot it down.

But this is not a viable option against Brahmos because of its Mach 3 speed.

US Navy will mainly depend on the onboard weaponry for defense and there are 3 of those.

1. The Medium range defense is provided by Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile which is quad packed and

has a range of 50 km range.

2. RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile is present for point defense in U.S supercarrier and

not on destroyers.

These have a speed of Mach 2 and range of 9 km.

3. Phalanx CIWS is a close-in weapon system is present for last-ditch defense.

It has 3,000 rounds/minute rate of fire and has a maximum firing range of 3.5 km.

For the analysis, we are considering a salvo of 8 Brahmos, half of what a new generation

of Russian frigates carries.

There are potentially 2 scenarios.

1. Solitary warship like an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is targeted.

2. A U.S Carrier Battle Group is attacked.

When a warship is alone and not having AWACS cover then the BrahMos will be detected at

about 35-40 km from the ship when it is in its sea-skimming terminal phase and on the

verge of employing evasive S maneuvers.

The warship will have 35 - 40 seconds to react.

The 2 layer defense of Arleigh Burke theoretically be able to defend against all missile but

practically it may be able to intercept only 3-4 of the missile.

It is highly likely that the warship will be knocked out.

A U.S Carrier Battle Group always has an AWACS cover and Brahmos will be most likely be detected

at around 150 km range.

The flotilla will have around 150 seconds to react.

The Carrier Battle Group with multiple destroyer and frigates travel in such a formation that

supercarrier is not directly in the line of fire.

The ships will also be able to coordinate the defenses.

In this case, the outer layer of destroyer(and frigates) will be able to intercept most of

the missiles or could also maneuver to take hits to protect the supercarrier.

Still, it is not impossible that 1-2 may sneak in and home in on the supercarrier.

The 3 layer defense of the supercarrier may be able to take those out all of those on

some occasions and may not on some other.

So, it is difficult to predict and results will vary but the potential of Brahmos can

be judged by the fact that few of these launched in salvo has the capability to challenge multi-billion

dollar warships of the U.S Navy.
