The government is speeding up its plan to refer the Cheonan sinking to the U.N. Security Council. There is intense speculation over how seriously the council will consider the matter.



[Pkg]



The government is speeding up preparation with member nations of the U.N. Security Council after concluding a trilateral summit with China and Japan. Vice Foreign Minister Chun Yung-woo left for the U.S. Monday to ask for global cooperation in preventing further provocation by North Korea.



[Soundbite] Nam Ju-hong (Int’l Security Ambassador) : “We’re taking the case to the UN Security Council to prevent Pyongyang’s threats of war and show our strong will for defending peace.”



President Lee Myung-bak also held talks in Seoul with American Senator Jim Webb, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee for East Asia and Pacific Affairs. President Lee asked for Webb’s cooperation in dealing with the Cheonan sinking. The president will also give the keynote speech Friday at the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore. The event is an annual meeting of defense ministers from major Asia-Pacific countries.



The U.N. Security Council will determine the final level of the Cheonan sinking at an official meeting. Possible measures against North Korea include a resolution, a chairman’s declaration that is non-binding, or a media announcement. The resolution will be canceled if at least one of the five permanent council members vetoes it. If China opposes the resolution, a chairman’s declaration will be the likely result. The declaration is weaker than a resolution but highly effective symbolically.



2. Final Rallies



[Anchor Lead]



With the June 2nd local elections just one day away, both the ruling and opposition camps are pulling out all the stops to gain more votes.



[Pkg]



The ruling and the opposition parties have toured the swing vote areas to make the last-ditch effort to win more votes for the local elections tomorrow. The leaders of the ruling Grand National Party have visited a swing vote province of Gangwon and urged voters to support economic revival and tougher security stance.



[Soundbite] Chung Mong-jun (President, Grand National Party) : “It’s a battle between those who aren’t aware of current issues and GNP members.”



The opposition Democratic Party urged people to judge the current administration by making a series of campaign stops in Chungcheong and Gangwon Provinces, and Seoul.



[Soundbite] Chung Sye-kyun (President, Democratic Party) : “If you keep being deceived by the GNP, what are they going to think of you?”



The Liberty Forward Party has gone to the South Chungcheong Province to appeal to their support base there.



[Soundbite] Lee Hoi-chang (President, Liberty Forward Party) : “The ruling and the opposition parties are making a mess; we’re the true servant who can work for the city of Buyeo.”



On the last day of campaigning, all the parties have gathered in the capital to rally up support in the biggest battleground of them all, Seoul and surrounding regions in Gyeonggi Province.



3. Growth Potential



[Anchor Lead]



The country’s projected economic growth rate for this year and the next is the highest in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. But Korea’s low birth rate and rapidly aging population pose significant obstacles to long-term growth.



[Pkg]



The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says Korea’s potential growth rate for this year and the next will be around four percent. This is the highest rate among the OECD’s 30 member nations and far above the OECD average of 1.2 percent. But Korea’s growth is expected to slow after 2012. Turkey is expected to post the highest average growth of 3.4 percent through 2025, followed by Australia and Norway. But Korea’s potential growth rate will fall to seventh place at 2.4 percent. The country has a high growth rate now, but will lose momentum over the mid to long term.



[Soundbite] Byeon Yang-gyu (Korea Economic Research Inst.) : “If low birthrate and aging issues continue at this rate, Korea’s economic growth will stop in 20 years.”



The economically active population is an important factor in determining potential growth rate. Korea’s economically active population is expected to increase seven-tenths of a percent through next year, but will fall an average of 0.4 percent thereafter. The country’s low birth rate and rapidly aging population could have devastating effects on economic growth.



4. Seoul Port



[Anchor Lead]



The Ministry of Land, Transportation, and Maritime Affairs and the city government of Seoul have decided to build an international port on the Han River near Yeouido. This plan has sparked controversy over whether the grand canal project is being resurrected.



[Pkg]



This is the riverside of the Han River near the National Assembly in Yeouido. This is the future site of the Seoul Port, an international passenger ship terminal.



[Soundbite] Choi Dong-pil (Seoul City Hall) : “Seoul plans to run international cruise ships to China via the government-led Gyeongin Ara Sea Route and the Yellow Sea.”



The government has voted for the Port Amendment Act at the cabinet meeting. The Seoul Port will be the nation’s first international trade port built inland. It’s capable of receiving up to 6,500-ton ships and the water depth will be about six meters. But the plan has given rise to controversies. Critics question how many people would actually take the minimum 20-hour boat trip just to get to China. Also the construction of sea route may destroy ecosystems on Bam Island and the marshes on the river and endanger the safety of existing bridges.



[Soundbite] Yun Sang-hun (Anti-River Project Committee) : “The Han River canal project is a continuation of the grand canal project. So we should seek a public consensus, if problems occur.”



The Seoul Metropolitan government says that the Seoul Port will be open only to cruise ships traveling between Seoul and China, and it has nothing to do with the grand canal project. The Seoul Port construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year.



5. Climate Change



[Anchor Lead]



Spring flowers have bloomed late due to the unusual weather this year. They would’ve been gone by now if temperatures had been more regular. Climate change is taking the blame for the unpredictable shifts in conditions.



[Pkg]



Mount Jiri is colored red with royal azaleas. The flowers began blooming about one week later than usual. The blossoming of acacia flowers is also ten days behind schedule. The reason is the unusual cold spell this spring. The quirky weather makes it difficult to predict when flowers will bloom. Spring last year was warmer than usual so flowers began blooming 15 days earlier than in spring 2006, when it was colder. Climate change and the shorter life of flowers have taken their toll on the bee farming industry.



[Soundbite] Yun Hwa-hyeon (Apiarist) : “The lifespan of flowers has been shortened to about 20 days due to unusually cold weather, so the production of honey has been reduced.”



The problem is that the unpredictable weather is not a temporary phenomenon. The weather is getting more unpredictable with time.



[Soundbite] Kim In-sik (Korea Forest Research Inst.) : “Plants, animals and humans don’t have enough time to get used to the new weather conditions and are seeing instant effects.”



Changes in climate are expected to have a great impact on the ecosystem.



6. Fruit Prices



[Anchor Lead]



The unusually cool weather is bringing up the prices of summer fruit. Despite the fact that the quality of the fruit has suffered, prices are soaring due to a plunge in supply.



[Pkg]



The melon season has arrived. But the crop is bad. It’s because of the unusually cold weather and insufficient sunlight during the spring.



[Soundbite] Gwon Gi-ho (Melon Farmer) “The harvest has been cut to less than half of last year. I’ve been farming for over ten years, but this year was the worst.”



The quality of melons is not as good as past years. In the past, nearly 40 percent of harvested melons were top rated products. This year, the percentage has dropped to less than 20 percent. Melons are unnecessarily big or low-quality in their color and shape. Some 80 percent of the total production is graded below average. The same applies to watermelons. The highest-graded watermelons weighing more than eight kilograms accounted for about 40 percent of the total production. But the percentage has fallen to the 10 percent level this year.



[Soundbite] Kim Dong-chun (Watermelon Farmer) : “The roots of the plants are too weak to bear fruits.”



Despite their poor quality, fruit prices are surging. The prices of melons have jumped 20 percent and those of watermelons rose 30 percent. Because of the unusual weather, consumers will have to buy poor-quality but pricey fruits.



7. Organic Feed



[Anchor Lead]



The use of antibiotics in animal feed will be banned from next year. Companies and scientists are now striving to develop organic additives for animal feed.



[Pkg]



This cattle farmer began using feed with no antibiotics four years ago. He instead uses an immunity booster made from natural mineral substances.



[Soundbite] Jeon Gi-ho (Cattle Farmer) : “The animals like the antibiotics-free feed. They no longer suffer from diarrhea.”



The farm has seen cattle sales rise since its cows have not been fed food with antibiotics that could be harmful to humans.



[Soundbite] Park Sun-jip (Cattle Farmer) : “We’re supposed to sell cows only 30 days after using antibiotics. Now we can sell them anytime we want.”



Large companies are also working to develop alternatives for antibiotics. This fermented microorganism only attacks germs that cause disease in chickens.



[Soundbite] Kim Jin-dong (Feed Developer) : “The microorganism attacks only salmonella bacteria. It’ll help lower the mortality rates of the animals and boost their productivity.”



The Rural Development Administration has developed a natural additive for animal feed using onions and mulberry trees. The government body has also cultivated microorganisms that can replace antibiotics geared for pigs. The use of antibiotics in animal feed will be banned from July next year. Experts say alternatives are needed to prevent the spread of animal diseases and dispel fears over reduced productivity.



8. Little Angel



[Anchor Lead]



The Little Angels have served as honorary ambassadors for Korean culture and arts for decades. In commemorating the 60th anniversary of the start of the Korean War, this children’s performance group tour 16 allied nations that stood by Korea during the war.



[Pkg]



During the Korean War, South Korea survived to defend freedom thanks to 16 allied nations united under the U.N. flag. More than 190 thousand young men lost their lives in the battlefield far away from home. The Little Angels is holding a series of performances to honor those soldiers. The group has toured some 50 countries to hold 6,000 performances for the past 40 years or so to introduce Korean culture and arts. In marking the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War, the performers plan to go on a world tour showcasing chorus and traditional dances and other Korean cultural performances.



[Soundbite] Park Bo-hui (Head, Korea Cultural Foundation) : “Marking the 60th anniversary of the Korean War, we plan to visit all 16 participant nations.”



[Soundbite] Mun Ji-su (Member of Little Angels) : “I want to move people and touch foreigners with our dance.”



The Little Angels’ tour will kick off on June 6th with a memorial performance at the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. They’ll also stop by 16 allied nations that sent troops to Korea, including Canada, Colombia, Philippines, and Australia. The tour is scheduled to continue until next February.



9. Pet Therapy



[Anchor Lead]



For children with cerebral palsy or attention deficit disorder, animals can become their best friends and doctors. Let’s see how these animal therapists heal children’s minds and bodies.



[Pkg]



This nine-year-old girl named Chi-yeon has cerebral palsy and is diagnosed with grade two brain disability. It’s so hard for her to control her legs that she can’t put on her shoes without help. But she has something to look forward to each week. It’s a visit to this horseriding field. Chi-yeon receives rehabilitative riding therapy every week. She befriends a horse to heal her mind and body. She gets on the horse with help from a therapist and a horse trainer. At first she was afraid to get in the saddle, but now horseback riding has become her favorite activity. Three adults accompany her to prevent her from falling or getting injured.



[Soundbite] Sin Jeong-sun (Therapeutic Horseback Riding Instructor) : “The hip movement is similar to walking, which can strengthen the abdomen and leg muscles. It helps correct your posture; you’ll also become more confident.”



Her hip joints and muscles are realigned by the rhythmical horse movement, the warm body of the animal, and the riding posture that requires her to sit up straight. Balancing on the horse with her arms stretched out forces her to straighten her back, which helps to strengthen her back muscles. Riding backward is the hardest part for Chi-yeon. But it’s a necessary part of the therapy to stimulate unused muscles. The biggest result Chi-yeon has seen from the riding therapy is her growing confidence.



[Soundbite] Park Chi-yeon (Cerebral Palsy Patient) : “Did you enjoy it?” “I really like it. Very, very much.”



[Soundbite] Song Geum-ja (Chi-yeon’s Grandmother) : “She walks better and works better at school. She couldn’t even fill out her assignment sheet, but now she can do it on her own. She also takes part in PE class with her peers.”



This is a social service center in Gyeonggi Province. Children are playing with dogs. But they’re actually in the middle of an animal therapy session. This 10-year-old boy has been diagnosed with ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Often distracted and impulsive, the boy started companion dog therapy a year ago. He is learning how to understand others by repeatedly giving orders to the dog and praising it. As he spent more time with the dog, the boy, who used to be self-centered, started to give the dog water and care for it. This seven-year-old girl also started receiving animal therapy because she couldn’t get along with other children. She combs the dog’s hair and feels its warm body to learn how to reach out to others.



[Soundbite] Kim Seon-yeong (Pet Therapist) : “Interactions with animals help improve physical, emotional and psychological deficiencies.”



These children are learning how to open up their hearts by having fun with their animal friends. The warmth of these animals is far better at healing the kids than cold medical equipment or impersonal drugs.
