“No power at all.” That’s the candid answer from UN head @antonioguterres on what power he really has. “No power & there’s no money. What we have is a voice… I have the obligation to make it loud… We have a level of division among superpowers that has no precedent since WWII.”

The ROK government will hold a nationwide civil defense drill tomorrow, Aug. 23, at 2 p.m. It will begin with an air-raid warning and end with a lifting siren at 2:20 p.m. After the air-raid warning, authorities will restrict movement of residents and vehicles for about 15 min...

Kyodo: "The approval rating for PM Fumio Kishida's Cabinet remained low at 33.6%, while the disapproval rating reached 50% for the first time since December, a Kyodo News poll has shown, amid lingering public concerns over the national identification card system and inflation."

[Eunice Kim @eunicereports]

Pres. Yoon's approval rating drops 2.7%p to 35.6%, reversing a climbing trend: Realmeter poll.
Results don't reflect #CampDavidSummit outcome; was driven by #wsj2023 hosting. Poor sentiment pronounced among ppl in 40-70s. Sentiment among 20-30s improved.

Japan's PM Kishida's latest approval rating also drops.
This was a 2-day phone survey over the weekend so would follow #CampDavidSummit outcome; related announcements were made early Saturday 🇰🇷🇯🇵 time.

In a 1st, North Korea state media recognizes it has U.S. Pvt Travis King, who crossed into the North thru the Joint Security Area nearly a month ago. KCNA said he told an ongoing investigation he wanted to seek refuge in N. Korea/3rd country because he was "disillusioned" w/ U.S.

After giving a Liberation Day address, Pres. Yoon Suk Yeol rushed to his father's side for his final breath, passing at 92 years.
While campaigning, Yoon had described his economist father as being dedicated to the study of economic inequality and called him his #1 mentor.

A truly challenging event, yet I am so glad it ended on a high note for the 50’000 participants, reuniting them for an incredible Closing Ceremony and K-Pop concert!

Immensely grateful to all the volunteers, participants, and the Korean people who powered this event with their energy, resilience, and kindness.

With the closing of the 25th World Scout Jamboree, now we're gearing up to thoroughly review all the learnings we've gained from this experience.

Heartfelt wishes for a safe journey back home to all the participants. #scouts #jamboree

"Under deal, the Iranian funds in South Korea have been changed into euro in a bank in Switzerland and were ready to be transferred to an account in Qatar’s central bank, said the source."

S. Korea not yet confirming transfer of $6+bil. in frozen Iranian funds sitting in S. Korean banks to Swiss accounts, but says it is working with relevant parties and hopes for an "amicable resolution". The 'unfreeze' would be part of a U.S.-Iran prisoner swap deal now in motion.

[Voice of America @VOANews]

VOA conducted an interview with John Kirby, director of strategic communications for the National Security Council, where he discussed the U.S. deal with Iran to place five American prisoners under house arrest.

"Iran's own funds would be used and transferred to restricted accounts such that the monies can only be used for humanitarian purposes, which, as you know, is permitted under our sanctions." - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
