Youtube daily Mar 27 2018

In my last video when I reviewed Sony's First Google Assistant integrated Smart speaker,

I mentioned how I really like the Google Home Mini and the Google Home Max, but I don't

really like the original google home.

But the longer I've owned my google home mini I've grown to like it even more especially

cause it keeps evolving.

So heres a quick little review on the Google Home Mini and a few new features that you

might not know of.

I actually picked up my google home mini during the holiday season for 30 bucks.

But the google home mini usually retails for $50 and I haven't seen it go back to that

30 dollar range since Christmas.

A lot of people might still be a little nervous of brining in a smart speaker into their home

cause they don't want to be spied on.

But either way, if you use any of google's services in any way shape or form, or any

other form of social media like facebook or instagram, these companies already have a

lot of information on you any way whether you know it or not.

So my reasoning when I first got my smart speakers was if these companies already have

a ton of information on me anyways, might as well get a smart speaker so they can foster

my laziness even more.

Now heres a quick run down of the google home mini regarding hardware, its tiny, its slightly

bigger than a hockey puck, I think that if you get the black version its going to disappear

in most rooms.

The top is covered in fabric and theres a lot of rubber on the base so this thing isn't

going to be moving a lot.

On the back theres a micro USB port for power and a mic mute switch, unfortunately theres

no AUX jack so you cant hook up the mini to a better speaker to play music.

And its a shame cause even though the 40 millimeter upward firing speaker is decent for passive

listening I would have liked to be able to hook up my mini to the JBL boombox.

But I guess Google needs a reason to sell you their Google Home Max or a chrome cast.

The Mini also comes with a premium feeling power cable which has a pretty small plug

and its a very decent length.

When smart speakers first came out they were really only good for asking them arbitrary

questions like how tall is the president, the weather and controlling your smart light

bulbs if you had them.

But as these speakers have progressed you can ask them to do more complex tasks like

talking to other applications, ordering stuff on line, making calls and their voice recognition

can even tell different people apart.

Personally I really like talking to crypto prices so I can either cheer myself up or

get really upset for a few minutes.

And I really like the call function cause after a long editing session I can just have

mini call my local deli so I can get a take out order ready without having to stop what

I'm doing on the computer.

Now when

the

google home mini was first released there was a problem where if you pressed the center

of the mini to manually activate your assistant, like you do on the original google home…

after the mini answered your question or did what ever you asked it to do it just kept

recording everything.

And this was a huge problem cause google's smart speakers are only supposed to listen

to your voice when the notification lights are on.

And google said that this was a hardware issue.

So google got rid of the touch controls on the Mini at launch.

But now if you tap on the sides of the mini you can adjust the volume and if you press

and hold on either side you can play or pause your music.

But unfortunately you cant manually skip a track or activate your voice assistant, all

of that has to be done through voice commands.

Obviously if you're picking up a google home mini you're not looking for amazing

sound quality, but heres a quick little sound test.

Again, the mini's sound quality isn't amazing but if I'm at my desk doing research

I might ask it to play something for back ground music, what I really do like using

the mini for is having it play white noise while I'm editing my videos, it really helps

cut down on distractions.

The Mini also helps make me a little more efficient when I'm getting my work done

cause I can ask it for unit conversions on the fly, I can ask it how to spell or define

a certain word, and I can also set timers to better manage my time.

And even for me, someone who talks pretty fast, the mini doesn't have a problem hearing

me or understanding what I said.

Even when I wake up in the morning and I'm just mumbling my words the mini clearly understands

when I tell it to snooze my alarm.

Its not like the Xbox one where you really have to enunciate your words for it to under

stand you and even still its only good 50 percent of the time.

(xbox one demo) And even if you're talking very softly at a distance the mini has no

problem hearing you, thats why I made my own routine for when I get up at night to use

the bathroom where if I say "night light" to my mini it'll set my lamp to 15 percent

brightness, and I don't have to worry about disturbing anyone else in the house.

Like I mentioned in my last video, I really don't see a need for the original google

home… since it doesn't sound good for listening to music its really just plus sized

Google Home Mini to me cause I strictly use it for voice commands.

So if you're trying to decide between the two I highly advise you just get the mini

and avoid over paying.

I really feel google needs to release a second google home with much better sound quality.

For $50 the Mini is great for what it is and the convenience it offers, but I would really

like to see an AUX so I can plug in my own speaker and I would also like to get rid of

the micro USB port and throw in 2 USB C ports.

One for power and one so I can charge up my future Pixel 2 XL.

Love Returns | 미워도 사랑해 - Ep.90 [SUB : ENG,CHN,IND / 2018.03.27] - Duration: 32:17.

Where were you all day?

(Episode 90) There's nothing to eat,

and the kitchen's a mess.

What now?

Haengja. Listen, Haengja.

Here you go again.

What?

Who's Eunjo?

Why bring up something that's been settled?

Because it hasn't been settled.

Eunjo's a foundling that your brother took in.

Then what's this?

Who's this baby?

Eunjo, good timing.

Let's settle the matter once and for all.

Was this baby Eunjo?

Was this me?

Haengja.

No.

It wasn't you, Eunjo.

That baby died.

It didn't get enough food

and only suffered in the womb,

so it was born weak

and died in just a day.

Happy now?

I have nothing more to say

or anything I want to say,

so please, enough already.

(Crackdown on Illegal Lenders, Including Kim Haengja)

(Wanted List: Kim Haengja / Age 38, female)

(Large firm vs. Individual?)

(Unfortunate ties between Kim Haengja & Gu Aesuk)

(Kim Haengja is put on the police wanted list)

Ms. Kim makes a ridiculous proposal to

bring me to ruin

as payback for what Mom did to her?

An individual can't beat a firm in the derma war.

Who was it?

Who sent me this garbage?

Byeon Busik?

I was merely planning to have a family dinner,

and if Mi-ae was disappointed,

to get our pictures taken.

Thank you.

This was Ms. Gu's idea.

I wasn't sure a wedding like this would work,

but it's nicer than expected.

I was so excited just getting makeup done.

Thank you, Ms. Gu.

You're amazing, even bringing a spare dress.

Bringing a spare outfit is like stylist 101.

But why are you calling her "Ms. Gu"?

Just call her Jonghui from now on.

Pardon? Would that be okay?

Of course it is.

When we get our marriage license,

I'll officially put you down as my daughter.

Suit yourself, Chungseo.

Chungseo?

Da... Da...

Da...

Da... Da...

Geez. I just can't get myself to say it.

I'll get there in time,

so don't stress me out about it.

It's better if you just switch right over.

Don't force her though.

When will you two move in together?

Huh? I don't know...

Oh, about this house...

Chungseo's room needs new wallpaper

and furniture.

I'll take care of it,

so give me some time.

Okay. Let's raise a toast

to this new family.

Daughter, son, and wife...

I finally feel whole.

Okay.

- Cheers. / - Cheers.

Geez. Stop making fun of me.

Making fun of you? It's a fact.

Jonghui's been something else since she was little.

Busik was very quiet.

He was a sweetheart.

Mom, stop.

What? Does that mean I wasn't sweet?

No, no. That's not what I mean.

You weren't that sweet though.

Stop it.

I bet I was sweeter.

Ms. Kim.

Then what about me? Who am I?

Who's my mother?

You know, right?

Tell me what you know.

Who am I?

Tell me, Ms. Kim.

I tried to ignore it.

I was abandoned anyway,

so I wasn't going to seek out my parents.

But Ms. Kim, I can't stop myself.

You're the daughter of the Gil family.

I think so too.

In my head... No. I accept it with my heart.

Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad loved me so much

I didn't even know I was a foundling.

But deep down, I wonder, "Who am I?

Who are my parents?

Why was I abandoned?

Why was I born unwanted?"

Eunjo.

When you were in a coma,

I heard about you at the orphanage.

That you took especially well to a newborn

who was adopted and doing well.

Was that baby me?

Ms. Kim!

There was a couple that helped me

when I was in an especially hard place.

You weren't abandoned.

You were a blessing

to your parents, especially to your mom.

A blessing?

Of course.

Your mom was so excited, happy,

and grateful when she had to you.

She was a kind person

and pretty like you.

She left you with me because her life

was cut short, but otherwise,

she was perfect all around.

Eunjo, you don't have to be grateful to me.

You motivated me to live after I lost my baby.

You propped me up with your tiny hands.

Once you got older and married

and developed a wider perspective on life,

I was going to tell you that you were a foundling

and about your mom as well.

Mom? My mom?

Yes. Look. Let's set a date

and visit her grave together.

She'll be happy to see you.

My mom and dad...

They'd lived a happy life, right?

Then it's okay.

It's all okay now.

Both Haengja and Eunjo have had

such tumultuous lives.

The girls were so insistent

that I'm feeding you one meal,

so eat.

What about you?

Do you think I can eat with him?

He's made me lose my appetite.

Mom.

The things you say negate

all that you do for me.

Stop complaining

and eat your fill of a home-cooked meal.

Say, I can sleep at the salon tonight, right?

I'm sick and tired of the sauna.

We'll talk after you eat.

Enjoy.

You couldn't have eaten well in jail.

Okay. Let's eat.

I'll scour the salon first.

Dad, I know what you're looking for.

Let's look together.

They still can't get their heads on straight?

Wow. Your mom's a good cook, isn't she?

- Enjoy. / - Thanks. Let's eat.

Hey, Inu. Have some of this shrimp.

Good.

Look all you want.

It's long gone, back to the rightful owner.

Why are you just standing there?

Sleep here.

What's gotten into you?

You had to sleep on cold, hard floors.

I gave you food, so why not a bed too?

Sleep here where it's nice and warm.

I can sleep in the salon.

There's no need.

I'll sleep in the salon.

One night won't kill me.

M-Mom, how can you sleep downstairs?

Sleep in my room.

I'll sleep in the salon.

What's with everyone?

Mom, sleep in my bed.

I can sleep on the floor.

It's cold in the salon at night.

Don't suffer by catching a cold.

Sleep in my room.

There's no need. I can...

Fine.

I'll sleep in your room,

so you sleep here.

Let's go so your father can rest.

Let's go. Let's go.

But I... Um...

Good night.

Open the door. Go, go.

- Have a good night. / - Geez.

Darn it.

I have to go down to the salon.

My eyes hurt from the lights.

Did you hide something here?

No...

I felt guilty I chased you out and was sleeping

in your soft comforter.

Really?

Wow. You must finally be turning over a new leaf.

Don't get any funny ideas.

Do whatever Ms. Kim says

for your community service or whatever.

Good grief. I'm not a little kid.

Why are you nagging me?

From what I've seen, you need a lot more nagging.

What is this?

Are you hiding something in the couch?

How did you know?

You still have a few hours,

so go get some more sleep.

Darn it.

Should I just tell him the truth?

Let's see how far he takes this.

What have you been thinking about?

I've been too nice, right?

About what?

I was going to quietly recover my position,

but this won't do.

What do you mean?

What are you going to do?

I'm Hong Seokpyo.

I'm going to let them know.

Pardon?

Let who know?

You'll reveal your identity?

What exactly are you going to do?

You'll see.

I don't think it's a good idea.

I'll make President Kim think that I'm weak,

that I'm still the juvenile Hong Seokpyo.

Have a seat.

I made your favorite soup with

napa cabbage with clams.

I also made bean sprout salad

and braised tofu.

They're all your favorites.

I enjoy meat like everyone else.

Then I'll make you bulgogi for dinner.

Are you dying?

They say people change when they near death.

Don't be like that.

I felt really bad last night.

You always say that.

Where's Eunjo?

She left early.

She left looking relieved and refreshed,

so don't worry.

I'm sorry I've been harassing you.

What's going in?

Are you going back to the States tomorrow?

Haengja!

Then why are you being like this?

I actually overheard your conversation with Eunjo.

I thought I was the only downtrodden, sorry soul.

But when I thought about your life

and all that Eunjo's been through,

I realized how easy I've had it.

They say death is near when you grow up.

Are you that keen for me to die?

I'm just saying.

I'll behave myself while I'm here to save up to

return to the States.

You have my word.

As if.

My head hurts whenever you say things like that,

worried you're up to no good again.

Have some faith in me.

Ms. Gu! Ms. Gu!

Why are you fussing?

You missed me already after one day?

What if the Center staff finds out...

This isn't the time for such banter.

President Hong...

What about Seokpyo?

He just texted me.

He's going to HQ for a showdown.

A showdown?

Who? Seokpyo?

Give me a break.

I'm going to HQ right now,

so do what you will.

What? What's going on?

Hey. Wait up!

President Kim!

President Kim, come on out!

Come out here so we can talk!

Don't behind a door causing strife like a coward.

Come on out!

You seem scared I will return,

but this isn't right!

He says to stop this and leave.

What are you afraid of to hide?

We'll force you out if you keep this up.

That's a warning.

President Kim,

let's talk one on one!

President Kim,

I said I had a question,

and this is what you do?

President Kim!

Hey!

I must see President Kim!

Let go!

I'm Hong Seokpyo,

Chairwoman Gu Aesuk's son

and the former CEO of this company!

You ousted me, claiming the derma project failed,

but you're launching a derma product?

Where is the fairness in that?

- What are you doing? / - Let go!

I wanted a quiet conversation,

but I was turned away

despite being the former CEO!

President Hong, calm down. Please.

President Kim,

so you won't show yourself to me?

I'm Hong Seokpyo!

Get me a meeting with President Kim.

I'm not President Kim's assistant.

Don't nitpick and just get me a meeting.

Let go of me!

Why did you do that?

People filmed you, so you're no longer faceless.

I know.

Was this intentional?

Why?

I won't hide anymore.

What was the meaning of that?

Do you think President Kim will let this slide?

Isn't panic disorder enough?

Do you want to add anger management issues too?

Yes, I do have trouble with anger management.

Seokpyo.

President Kim can do as he pleases.

President Hong.

What's gotten into him all of a sudden?

Hong Seokpyo would never be reckless like this.

What is he scheming?

Do you think I'll do well?

I can't think of a better person.

Keep a close eye on him.

You know he can't slack off, right?

Don't worry.

I have an ax to grind with him too.

This is good.

Um...

President Kim.

Oh. You were here too, Bogeum.

Long time no see.

Nice to see you, Dr. Jeong.

I doubt that.

Go with Bogeum today.

Why should I?

I'll help you.

Let's go, Dr. Jeong.

Um... Do I have to go with her?

Do a good job.

Good luck!

Hey, show some respect.

Am I competing in the Olympics?

How dare you?

Oh, sorry...

Oh, my. It's Mr. Hong.

So he worked here undercover.

How can he divulge his secret like this?

We haven't gotten close yet.

Ms. Gil, did you know?

Know what?

Do you really not know or do you?

- Pardon? / - Terrible, terrible!

Ms. Gong, come to my office.

Yes, Director Gu.

The reign of terror begins again.

Back to your positions

so you don't further stoke her anger.

What happened?

Who knows?

Ms. Gu's ill temper is ever-changing.

I wonder what it is today.

While you weren't here for a few days,

something happened between Mr. Hong and me.

You and Mr. Hong?

I guess I had misjudged Mr. Hong.

I didn't know he was emotionally scarred.

What are you talking about?

Don't you know about it too?

He fears being the focus of attention.

You know...

Don't tell me you didn't know.

Did he tell you himself?

How else could I have known?

I'm going to study Mr. Hong with interest too.

Hurry up.

The sun will set before we get there.

Who lives so high up on the hill?

Many people live in this neighborhood.

Just getting there will wipe me out.

So what am I doing today anyway?

Caring for live-alone seniors.

You'll clean, do their laundry, cook,

and help them with their walks.

Pardon?

But I'm a live-alone senior myself.

Let's go.

Wait.

How much farther?

It's the house at the very top over there.

I'll die before I get there.

I can't go any farther. I won't.

Okay.

What are you doing?

To note your refusal of order.

Oh, come on. Geez.

Can't I even joke around?

Where? Up there?

That's nothing, nothing at all.

That house... Wow. Oh, wow.

Have a cup of coffee.

You look spent already.

So today...

You only worked 3 hours,

so you have 197 hours to go.

197 hours...

Are you enjoying this?

No. I giggle out of habit.

You're so high-strung.

Are you dreading the hours you have left to fill?

It's more because aging is sad enough,

so to be aging like this

is very upsetting.

Have you ever thought about it?

About what?

You could end up

like the old lady we saw earlier.

Don't jinx me, okay?

I have 2 daughters.

They're both sweet.

I don't know if you can be so sure.

Ask that old lady earlier

how her children are.

They all say their children are sweet.

Good grief.

Let's go. Darn it.

So lead an honest life

from now on.

Dr. Jeong.

Dr. Jeong!

Chungseo! Chungseo!

Is that what it was?

What?

Wow. You look like

a forsythia in bloom.

Stop joking around.

Your distant cousin...

I wasn't joking.

What about Seokpyo, I mean, Hong Seok?

He's the former CEO of Genius,

the founder's son?

Is that why you tiptoed around him?

I hear your house and everything else is his.

How did you know?

He caused a scene in the Genius building.

His name is trending on the real-time search charts.

It really is.

Why did he do this?

I finally managed to win Jonghui over,

but now I have some else to humor.

This makes matters difficult.

What was he thinking?

Oh? You went volunteering with Dr. Jeong,

so why are you back alone?

With Inu's dad?

It must be a lot of trouble for you.

All I have to do is make sure he does his work.

But is something up at the Center?

It seemed a bit chaotic there.

It's because of Chungseo's cousin.

Huh? What did Mr. Hong Seok do?

That Hong Seok or whatever is Genius' ex-CEO?

Yes.

Is that why you're pursuing him?

Leave him to me

as you must find the bonds quickly.

Did anything come to you last night?

I spent all day in a ghetto up in the hills...

I'm sure they're not at the salon.

Are you confused about where you hid them?

I suspected Mom, but given her nature,

she would've told us if she had found them.

I scoured the couch area, but they weren't there.

You're confused as you kept moving them

from one place to another, right?

Aren't you worried about me given the long day

I've had?

That's how community service is.

But the bonds.

Inu.

It's because they're our only means of survival.

I have an investment opportunity,

but I can't invest without any money.

Did you hide them in the house, not the salon?

The most unexpected place.

I would've hidden it in Mom's room.

Dad.

Is that all you can talk about?

Geez.

But what else is more important right now?

So the plant's not in operation.

Right. When did they halt operations?

So it hasn't been long.

Yes.

I'll decide after inspecting it in person.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh? Myeongjo.

How'd you know I was here?

I asked Mr. Lee.

How could you do this to me?

Do what?

I learned who you really are from the news.

Oh...

My feelings are really hurt.

Did Eunjo find out today too from the news?

I was going to tell her,

but she'd found out on her own and confronted me.

Was it that night she came home bawling?

I think so.

I thought it was because Ms. Kim wasn't her mom.

But what are you doing here?

Huh?

You need to go comfort Eunjo.

I should, but I'm waiting

for the right time as a lot's happening at once.

Why?

It seems you have it very tough too.

And you don't look well.

It's been 10 years since your transplant, right?

You should get a physical...

Go on.

I overstepped my bounds.

I'm sure your family looks out for you.

Don't be like that too.

I actually don't really have anyone.

Having money doesn't give you everything.

Then can I give you a checkup?

I'd be grateful.

Do I have a primary care physician now?

Where did you get your transplant?

I need to track down your medical record.

Your university hospital.

That's good.

It'll be easier to find your records and see you.

Thanks, Myeongjo.

That hurts my feelings too.

You really are like a brother to me.

Ms. Gil,

I don't know what to do.

I dropped the bomb,

but I'm still scared of people's attention.

So why'd you do it without a plan?

I need you.

Will you help me?

No one but Hong Seokpyo from now on.

Not even Hong Seok.

You're jealous of Hong Seok?

Just stay by my side.

I swear I don't have an ulterior motive.

I'm off this weekend.

Do you want to go the movies?

Why didn't you raise me?

Why'd you leave me in front of someone else's house?

So you're really going to seduce that guy?

You're shallow too, so why criticize me?

I know you hate me, but this is uncalled for.

What's wrong with Inu?

Inu?

The dusty air expected to clear tomorrow afternoon _ 032718 - Duration: 2:01.

Now we turn to our Michelle Park at the weather center for the latest updates.

Michelle, conditions were quite suffocating in terms of air quality.

Any chances of mother nature stepping up to provide us with some relief from the pesky

particulate matter.

Daniel, the central region was put under fine dust emergency measures for the second day

in a row.

Both fine dust and ultra fine dust particles have blanketed the region today,... and as

we speak, ultra fine dust levels are still high in the upper parts of the country.

These conditions are expected to continue until tomorrow, but fortunately, there will

be some wind that will help clear the air.

Meanwhile, the mercury continues to rise, with Seoul starting out the morning at 9 degrees

Celsius.

Chuncheon and Daegu start at lower temperatures at 6 and 7 degrees respectively, while Busan

rises to 11 degrees.

Under a cloudless and bright sky, Seoul tops out at 18 degrees during the day, while Gwangju

and Busan peak at 22 and 19 degrees.

For the central region, the clear sunny sky is expected to shine throughout the week until

Sunday morning.

Meanwhile, readings are expected to stay above seasonal average for the time being.

I'll leave you with the weather conditions around the world.

Environment ministry changes ultra-fine dust classification method in S. Korea - Duration: 1:41.

Fine dust blanketed over the nation for the past few days.

Amid continuing efforts to tackle the health threat, the government announced plans to

change the environmental standards.

Kim Mok-yeon outlines for us, the possible impact of the new measure.

Korea is under another emergency ultra-fine dust reduction measure on Tuesday.

To raise awareness of the problem, the nation's environment ministry said Monday that it would

lower the current threshold for ultra-fine dust levels to be classified as "bad"... from

the current 50, to 35 micrograms per cubic meter per day,... to raise its standards to

that of the U.S. and Japan.

And there's growing public anxiety over the worsening fine dust levels.

As of 3 p.m., more than 130 thousand people have signed a petition on the Cheong Wa Dae

website demanding the presidential office to come up with a diplomatic solution to the

problem, claiming the cause of the pollution is the dust coming from China.

Recently several reports have shown that one of the major causes of the deteriorating air

quality in Korea is fine dust coming from China.

A report released by the National Institute of Environmental Research showed that external

factors had a large effect on the air quality in Seoul, with fine dust coming from China

causing up to 57 percent of the air pollution.

The ministry says that in the short term, the severe conditions are likely to clear

up by Wednesday evening.

But a meteorological expert says that in the long term, there is the possibility that high

levels of fine dust could continue over the next couple of months.

"We are expecting to see less wind and rain in May.

With the yellow dust expected to blow across the peninsula, the fine dust problem could

worsen."

Rare type of foot-and-mouth disease confirmed in hog farm near Seoul - Duration: 1:42.

A case of foot-and-mouth disease at a pig farm near the nation's capital was confirmed

by Korea's agriculture ministry.

There have been reports of the virus before, but the country is on a high alert as this

is the first time the rare A-type variant has been discovered.

For details we turn to our Park Hee-jun.

A rare type of the foot-and-mouth disease has been detected at a pig farm near Seoul

on Tuesday.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs,... a farm in Gimpo,...

40 kilometers northwest of Seoul tested positive for the A-type virus.

Foot-and-mouth disease is a highly infectious viral disease.

Livestock with the disease show symptoms of fever, followed by sores in the mouth and

blisters on the hands and feet.

It can spread rapidly without proper measures,... and can have a significant economic impact.

The case is the first outbreak of the disease since February last year.

Among the seven distinct types of foot-and-mouth disease, most cases in Korea involve the O-type

virus.

And although the A-type was found in cattle farms a few years back-- this is the first

time it's been detected at a pig farm.

After confirmation of the A-type virus, which is rare not only in Korea, but worldwide,...

the country has been on an emergency alert, especially as most animals haven't been vaccinated

for the highly contagious strain.

Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon gave the order for all available resources to focus on quarantine

measures.

More than 900 pigs in the farm have already been slaughtered after the initial test.

And more will be culled within 3-kilometers of the farm to prevent the disease from spreading.

The ministry has also issued a 48-hour 'stand still' on the movement of livestock and breeders

in the nearby region.

Korea's consumer sentiment index falls for fourth consecutive month in March - Duration: 1:41.

Korea's consumer sentiment index hit a seven-year high back in November.

Unfortunately, steady declines have been recorded ever since... mainly due to fears of brewing

trade protectionism policies.

Kim Hyesung breaks down the digits for us.

South Korea's consumer sentiment fell for a fourth consecutive month in March.

According to the Bank of Korea, the composite consumer sentiment index edged down zero-point-one

points from the previous month to 108-point-one-- the lowest level since October.

The reading is well above 100, meaning there are still more optimists than pessimists.

But a sub-index on households' perception of the current domestic economic conditions

dropped to a six-month-low of 87 index points in March, while the sub-index for future prospects

inched down one point from February's 98.

The Central Bank attributed the fall to growing worries over trade protectionism and the U.S.-China

trade spat that could hurt Korean exports to the world's first and second-largest

economies.

"Domestically, the restructuring of local shipbuilding companies and the GM Korea crisis

have dampened consumer confidence.

A fall in oil prices and rental housing prices, however, helped limit the drop in the consumer

sentiment index to zero-point-one points on-month in March."

The survey respondents were less pessimistic about future job searches, which climbed one

index point from February to record 94.

The expected inflation rate over the next 12 months was 2-point-6 percent in March,

holding steady since January.

USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group enters 7th Fleet area of operations: U.S. Navy - Duration: 2:11.

The Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group has entered the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations...

which includes the Korean Peninsula.

Though it's part of the nuclear-powered behemoth's regularly scheduled deployment... some observers

view it as a move to amp up military pressure on North Korea ahead of summit talks

Park Ji-won tells us more.

According to the official U.S. Navy website and the official website for the U.S. 7th

Fleet,... the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and

its Carrier Strike Group has entered the 7th Fleet area of operation,... which encompasses

the two Koreas, Japan, China and Russia.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt left its home port of San Diego, California last October,...

and successfully completed about four months of operations in the Arabian Gulf and Red

Sea.

The Carrier Strike Group will conduct a range of maritime operations with the navies of

U.S. partners and allies in the region,... to enhance security cooperation and interoperability.

With the USS Theodore Roosevelt entering the 7th Fleet's area of responsibility,... a total

of three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers,... the Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan,... which

is permanently forward-deployed to the area,... and the USS Carl Vinson,... are currently

deployed in the area.

The U.S. has reportedly decided not to include drills involving aircraft carriers during

this year's annual joint military exercises with Seoul,... starting next month,.. yet

some watchers say deploying three aircraft carriers in the region could be seen as an

attempt to put pressure on Pyongyang, ahead of possible talks between the U.S. and North

Korea.

The U.S. 7th Fleet is the largest forward-deployed U.S. fleet,... made up of over sixty ships

and submarines,... some 140 aircraft and some 20-thousand navy personnel,... covering more

than 120 million square kilometers in the western Pacific and Indian oceans.

N. Koreans in Beijing to repair China ties ahead of summit talks: Experts - Duration: 2:15.

While the focus of media around the world is on finding out WHO the high profile North

Korean figure is, the more important question might be.... why and how this visit came to

be.

Oh Jung-hee delves deeper into the trip shrouded in secrecy, to bring us some answers.

So far, nothing's been confirmed about who the secret visitor is... or why they came

so suddenly.

On Tuesday, Tokyo-based Sankei Shimbun quoted an unnamed Chinese Communist party official...

who reported that indeed... it is Kim Jong-un.

Sankei reported... he was visiting for two days to meet with various officials in China's

Communist party... and that North Korea and China started organizing the visit early in

the year.

Some South Korean experts agree it could be Kim Jong-un,... since, they say, no other

North Korean high-level figure would use the special train used by the regime's former

leader Kim Jong-il.

If true, then this would be Kim Jong-un's first known trip overseas since he took power

in 2011.

But others suggest... it could be Kim Yo-jong, the leader's sister.

Kim Jong-un has been trying to build an image of North Korea as China's "diplomatic equal,"...

so they say he wouldn't want to sneak into Beijing for his first face-to-face meetings

with the Chinese leadership.

Plus...

Kim Yo-jong is one of her brother's trusted political aides; she was also sent to South

Korea as a special envoy during the Olympics.

But regardless of who it is,... it's noteworthy that this visit comes ahead of Pyongyang's

summits with Seoul and Washington in April and May.

Experts think the relatively strained relations between North Korea and China have done nothing

to help either side ahead of those historic talks.

"China is North Korea's most reliable supporter.

So it would not benefit North Korea to hold summit talks with South Korea and the U.S.

while its relations with China are cold.

So North Korea's preparing a base to lean on."

For North Korea, it's crucial to consider what happens if its talks with Seoul and Washington

end in failure,... in which case it could potentially seek a Chinese commitment to future

support.

S. Korean president and UAE Crown Prince say Akh Unit key to bilateral cooperation - Duration: 2:26.

President Moon Jae-in wraps up his four-day visit to the United ArabEmirates.

During a rare visit to South Korea's special forces operating in the Gulf nation... the

liberal leader highlighted the Akh Unit is the key link in Seoul-AbuDhabi cooperation.

Here's Moon Connyoung, traveling with the president with our top story.

"The United Arab Emirates.

Although its ties with South Korea stretch back nearly 40 years, it's only in the last

decade or so that their relations got stronger.

Well, that partnership got bumped up to a whole new level."

Roughly an hour's drive from the center of Abu Dhabi is a small town of Sweihan.

It's where a South Korean special forces team operates under the name Akh, which means "brother"

in Arabic.

The 140 special forces received a rare special guest Tuesday; their Commander-in-Chief, South

Korean President Moon Jae-in.

Mr. Moon, a former special forces soldier himself, could not hide his sense of pride

in his elite unit... touting them as a key link in South Korea, UAE relations.

He added...

Crown Prince Mohammed had spoken in high regard of the Akh Unit... saying it has served as

a cornerstone in raising their bilateral cooperation to a whole new level.

South Korea's Commander-in-Chief said it was the presence of the Akh Unit that elevated

the south Korea, UAE relations to be elevated to a special strategic partnership.

Meanwhile, Senior Blue House officials traveling with the president unveiled that the powerful

Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, following his one-on-one with South Korean President Moon, ordered

his aides to grant 25-billion U.S. dollars worth of projects to South Korean firms.

Sources familiar with the issue say these are contracts that had been put on hold by

the UAE over its objection regarding a possible change to a secret defense cooperation deal

made between Seoul and Abu Dhabi under the Lee administration in 2009.

If true, the 25 billion dollar greenlight from Crown Prince may be a signal that any

kind of issues there may have had been - whether military or not - President Moon has managed

to smooth out during this four-day trip to the Gulf nation.

"From mending the fences to rebuilding trust and friendship between the two countries,

the two leaders... it looks like President Moon leaves under his belt what he came for.

"Al rafiq qabl al tarriq" - choosing a companion for a long journey ahead.

Moon Connyoung, Arirang News, Abu Dhabi."
