[워/특/줌/인] “애초부터 갈등봉합은 글렀어”…바이든-시진핑 속내는?/ KBS
US President Joe Biden held a bilateral meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping for over 3 hours, just 10 months after taking office. Measures to prevent US-China trade conflicts are needed, and the industrial sector is competitive.
Even after the summit between the two most powerful countries on earth, the US and China, related news continues.
There is also friendly news such as the media agreeing to ease visa restrictions, release strategic oil reserves, and create a high-level meeting channel to ease military tensions.
On the other hand, there is still tense tension such as diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics and Taiwan’s status remains the same.
The two countries are sending messages to the media every day about what US President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked about during the meeting that lasted 3 and a half hours.
It is also a time when we need to calmly distinguish between what is political propaganda and what is fact.
For us, located at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, the relationship between the US and China is an important concern that will determine our ‘national interests.’
On one side, we are ‘allies who fought together in blood.’ On the other side, we are neighboring countries that have a great influence on us in terms of economic as well as diplomatic and security issues, along with our geographical proximity.
This week, we will look back on the situation on the Korean Peninsula through the war of messages between the two countries following the US-China summit, as Washington correspondents take a closer look at US politics.

An all-out war has broken out in Ukraine along the Black Sea coast.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered an advance, saying that security threats to his country are absolutely unacceptable. Ukraine is facing it alone, without any allies. The West, including the United States, is responding by providing support in the form of sanctions, weapons assistance, and humanitarian cooperation, while expanding its military presence in NATO.
However, the limits of the response method of holding others accountable through strengthened sanctions and pressuring them through international organizations are becoming clear.

Above all, what direction will Ukraine’s fate take?
This week’s War Special Zoom examines the meaning of the all-out war in Ukraine and the future developments.

[워/특/줌/인] 산모 죽기 직전까지는 안돼! ‘낙태 금지법’ 출렁이는 미국 / KBS 2022.06.10
In the last week of May, Oklahoma, USA, passed an ultra-hardline abortion ban.
This law prohibits abortions entirely except when the victim of a sexual crime has reported the pregnancy, or when the mother is at risk of death due to health reasons.
The long-standing conflict between the pro-life camp, which claims that the life of the fetus is precious, and the pro-choice camp, which claims that a woman’s right to decide her own body is important, has surfaced, shaking up American society as a whole.
The starting point is the recent leak of a draft ruling that overturned the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that ruled that women have a constitutional right to choose whether to terminate a pregnancy up to six months into the pregnancy.
A philosophical debate is taking place over when a person becomes a person, whether a fetus is a person from the time it can survive (medically 20 weeks or more), or whether a person is a person from the time it is implanted in the womb, but in fact, the core is a political confrontation. It seems that they are igniting the abortion debate in order to unite their politically ahead of the midterm elections in November that will significantly change the composition of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate.
KBS Washington correspondents, a full-fledged correspondent talk program that deeply conveys the context of issues that they could not cover on air, Work Special Zoom In, this time, they are discussing the U.S. abortion ban law.
What ruling will the U.S. Supreme Court make by the end of this month?
What impact will this ruling have on our country’s abortion law (currently in a legislative vacuum)?

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man (estimated to have $219 billion, or 274.62 trillion won in Korean currency), acquired Twitter, which has over 200 million users worldwide.
Musk, the father of the electric car Tesla, bought Twitter stocks without anyone knowing and became the largest shareholder with a 9% stake, then suddenly changed his position and started buying Twitter. The acquisition battle was a quick one. He announced that he had decided to acquire Twitter, announced a funding plan, and then bought Twitter in less than ten days. He added a 38% premium per share for 55 trillion won in Korean currency.
Musk declared on Twitter (he is famous for tweeting so much that he is almost addicted to Twitter) that “Twitter will protect freedom of expression in the future” and “We will eliminate various bots and transparently release the algorithm as open source.” He also said that he would change Twitter’s current business model, which relies on advertising, to a subscription economy.
Conservative media outlets in the US sent out congratulatory messages all day long, saying, “Freedom of expression has triumphed,” while progressive media outlets expressed concern, saying, “Instead of freedom of expression, it will become a hotbed of hate speech and fake news.”
Last year, Twitter permanently suspended the account of former President Trump, who incited and ignited the storming of the US Capitol, and since Elon Musk is opposed to deleting the account or posts, there are expectations that he will revive the former President Trump’s account.
Twitter is expected to be delisted and become Musk’s private company after the legal acquisition process is completed.
KBS Washington correspondents report from the scene and deliver behind-the-scenes news coverage. This week, WTC Zoom-In (Washington Correspondent Zoom-In) talks about the future of Twitter, which Elon Musk has taken control of.
