WEEKLY NEWS HIGHLIGHTS (2024.09.28)

(THIS IS THE TRANSCRIPT FOR ARIRANG NEWS THAT AIRED ON 27 Sep 2024 - 00:00 KST.) Welcome to Weekly News Highlights where we bring you the top stories of the week. I'm Song Yoo-jin coming to you from Arirang's virtual studio. With tensions mounting on the Korean Peninsula following continuous provocations from North Korea, including new missile tests and trash-filled balloons, there's new speculation that the regime could be conducting its seventh nuclear test after the U.S. Presidential Elections in November. The Middle East is on edge this week. Hundreds have died in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon, with Hezbollah responding in kind. What does this mean for the already war-torn region? The United Nations General Assembly wrapped up in New York this week, where world leaders addressed pressing global issues. We’ll recap the key takeaways and the diplomatic efforts that took center stage. We begin with the latest developments on the Korean Peninsula. While many anticipated North Korea’s seventh nuclear test before the U.S. elections, South Korea’s national spy agency now suggests it could happen afterward. Lee Soo-jin explains what's driving this new projection as well as the agency’s updated assessment of Pyongyang’s nuclear capabilities. As concerns about North Korea grow, the 25th Korea-U.S. Integrated Defense Dialogue took place this week in Seoul. South Korea’s Deputy Minister for National Defense Policy Cho Chang-rae, and the U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia, Anka Lee, expressed deep concerns over the advancements in North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, as well as North's recent launch of trash-carrying balloons. The officials also stressed the importance of a coordinated response to North Korea's "gray zone" provocations, which include cyberattacks and electromagnetic warfare. In the Middle East, following last week's wireless device explosions, the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah intensified further this week, with Israeli air attacks claiming hundreds of lives and Hezbollah striking back. This has brought back painful memories of their month-long war in 2006. There's growing pressure from the international community for an urgent ceasefire to stop the violence from spiraling further. Park Kun-woo reports. Title: World leaders seek solutions to global conflicts at UN General Assembly World leaders gathered in New York this week, to take part in this year's United Nations General Assembly, and seek solutions to end global conflicts and crises in the Middle East and Ukraine. For more on this, I have our foreign affairs correspondent Bae Eun-ji in the studio. Welcome, Eun-ji. Thanks for having me. 1. The UN General Assembly took place in New York this week. What are some of the key takeaways from the event? As widely expected, the conflicts involving Israel, Lebanon, Russia and Ukraine were on top of the agenda. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UN General Assembly on Tuesday that the world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza. He called the conflict in Ukraine, a war that was spreading with no signs of letting up, with civilians paying the price, and condemned the acts of terror committed by Hamas. "Geopolitical divisions keep deepening. The planet keeps heating. Wars rage with no clue how they will end. And nuclear posturing and new weapons cast a dark shadow. We are edging towards the unimaginable." With four months left in office, U.S. President Joe Biden also gave his final address to world leaders. Noting that he's been working with Egypt and Qatar to put forward a ceasefire and hostage release deal, he reiterated his call for the relevant parties to agree to terms, saying it was time to end the war. "Full-scale war is not in anyone's interest. Even if the situation has escalated, a diplomatic solution is still possible." But Biden did not mention North Korea in this year's speech, as opposed to his previous three addresses to the General Assembly, from 2021 to 2023. Pundits suggest that this may be because it's less likely that there could be major progress on this matter during his remaining term in office. 2. While Biden delivered his final speech, the new Iranian president gave his first. Right in his first UN speech, the new Iranian president, who was elected in July, said his country does not want war. He also accused Israel of committing what he called "genocide in Gaza" and "crimes against humanity," by attacking schools, hospitals, and homes. ... #Korean_Peninsula #NorthKorea #MiddleEast #Hezbollah #Lebanon #United_Nations_General_Assembly #Artificial Intelligence #YoonSukYeol #Arirang_News #아리랑뉴스 📣 Facebook :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Twitter :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Homepage : https://arirang.com/ 2024-09-28, 12:00 (KST)
