South Korean court hears children's climate change case against government

reut.rs/44dxeBz

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government

Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.

A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.

Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.

During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.

Quick Glance: US, South Korea Lay Out Plans for Troop Cost-Sharing

U.S. and South Korean officials outlined their respective proposals for a new agreement regarding cost-sharing for the maintenance of American troops in South Korea in recent discussions and will continue to engage in consultations as needed, according to the chief U.S. negotiator.

Designated envoys have been appointed to commence early discussions for a forthcoming agreement set to come into effect in 2026.

Amid Trump's term in office, there were extensive negotiations before Seoul eventually agreed to boost its financial commitment by 13.9% compared to the previous 2019 arrangement, where Seoul annually contributed around $920 million.

As per the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the U.S. Defense Department allocated approximately $13.4 billion in South Korea between 2016 and 2019 for military salaries, infrastructure development, and upkeep, while South Korea provided $5.8 billion to support the U.S. presence.

South Korean woman conned out of US$50,000 by fake Elon Musk she fell in love with on Instagram

scmp.com/news/asia/east-asia/article/3260197/south-korean-woman-conned-out-us50000-fake-elon-musk-she-fell-love-instagram

Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam

A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

North Korea praises leader Kim Jong Un as a 'friendly father' and 'great leader' in a new song, part of a propaganda campaign to boost his image in the reclusive state.

The music video for the song was broadcast on Wednesday on state-controlled Korean Central Television, showcasing North Koreans from various backgrounds enthusiastically singing lines like 'Let’s sing, Kim Jong Un the great leader' and 'Let’s brag about Kim Jong Un, a friendly father.'

Moreover, a live performance of the song with orchestral accompaniment and in the presence of Kim was televised as part of a ceremony to mark the completion of constructing 10,000 new homes.

The release of the cheerful song titled 'Friendly Father' coincides with recent changes by North Korean state media to the name of a holiday, sparking speculation that this move is aimed at consolidating Kim’s position.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.
