The man suspected in Cecil's death is Walter James Palmer of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, according to Johnny Rodrigues, head of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force.

짐바브웨이 보호당국의 수장인 Johnny Rodrigues에 따르면 Cecil의 죽음과 관련된 용의자는 미네소타주 Eden Prairie에 사는 Walter James Palmer 이다.

Cecil, who was 13, was a prized lion in Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park, where visitors reportedly sighted him frequently. A video of the animal, regal, indifferent and sleepy-eyed, has been widely disseminated.

13살인 세실은 사람들이 자주 그를 보기위해 찾는 짐바브웨이의 황에국립공원에서 상징(상품??)적인 존재이다. 동물의 제왕이면서, 무관심하고 졸린눈을 가진 사자의 비디오는 전세계적으로 퍼져있다.

He was a participant in a study that Oxford University in Britain was conducting, and he had been outfitted with a GPS collar.

그는 영국의 옥스포드 대학에서 행해지고 있는 연구대상이였다. 그리고 GPS고리를 차고 있었다.

A police official in Zimbabwe said that two Zimbabweans had been arrested in the case and that police were looking for Palmer.

An alleged $50,000 payment

The Zimbabweans, Honest Trymore Ndlovu and Theo Bronchorst, were due in court Wednesday, according to a statement from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority andSafari Operators Association of Zimbabwe. Bronchorst is a professional hunter, the statement said.

Rodrigues said Palmer was an American and gave his passport number and street address, but police were more vague. Charity Charamba, a Zimbabwe police spokeswoman, said police were seeking Palmer, "who might be an American or a Spaniard."

The allegation is that the lion was killed illegally, Charamba said.

In a statement Tuesday, Palmer said he hired professional guides who secured proper permits.

"To my knowledge, everything about this trip was legal and properly handled and conducted," he said in the statement.

"I had no idea that the lion I took was a known, local favorite, was collared and part of a study until the end of the hunt. I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt."

He said no authorities in Zimbabwe or the United States had contacted him but he would assist them in any inquiries.

The hunter concluded: "Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion."

Rodrigues said that Palmer "apparently paid $50,000 for the kill and we assume Theo Bronchorst received this money."

The incident may not be the first time Palmer has run afoul of the law while hunting.

A man by the same name and age, and from the same town, illegally killed a black bear in Wisconsin several years ago, according to court documents. That individual pleaded guilty to making a false statement

He knowingly made false statements to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and was sentenced to one year on probation and ordered to pay a fine of nearly $3,000, records show.

Attempts to contact Palmer's lawyer Tuesday about the 2006 case were unsuccessful. Jon Austin, a spokesman for Palmer, said he is aware of reports on the bear case, but had no information.

Wounded, then tracked for another 40 hours

Cecil's death was cruel, in Rodrigues' account.

On July 6, Rodrigues said, Bronchorst took Palmer to Hwange National Park.

"They went hunting at night with a spotlight, and they spotted Cecil," Rodrigues said. "They tied a dead animal to their vehicle to lure Cecil out of the park, and they scented an area about half a kilometer from the park," or about 550 yards.

Rodrigues said Palmer shot Cecil with an arrow but failed to kill him. Then the two men tracked Cecil, finding him about 40 hours later and shooting him to death with a gun, Rodrigues said.

They discovered that he had been fitted with a GPS collar and tried to destroy it, Rodrigues said.

Cecil was skinned and beheaded, Rodrigues said. Contrary to earlier reports, he said, the head has not been found.

"The saddest part of all is that, now that Cecil is dead, the next lion in the hierarchy, Jericho will most likely kill all Cecil's cubs so that he can insert his own bloodline into the females," Rodrigues said. "This is standard procedure for lions."

Tension between the United States and North Korea further escalatedover the weekend as Washington imposed new economic sanctions Friday against Pyongyang in retaliation for the reclusive regime’s alleged cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.

소니 픽쳐스 엔터테인먼트 관련 사이버 공격의 혐의를 받고 있는 은둔한 정권(김정은 정권이 외부와 고립이 되어 이렇게 표현한것 같다)에 대한 보복으로 워싱턴(미국의 white house)은 금요일 북한에 대해서 새로운 경제 재재를 부과함으로써 미국와 북한의 긴장감이 치솟고 있다.

The North’s Foreign Ministry responded angrily to the punitivemeasures Sunday, saying that America’s “tenacious adherence” to a hostile policy toward the North would further reinforce its will to protect its sovereignty.

북한의 외무부는 일요일 징계에 대해서 화가나서 반응하였는데, 미국의 북한에 대한 적대적 정책의 집요한 집착(계속적으로 나쁜 징계를 계속해서 이렇게 표현한것 같음)은  국권 수호의 의지를 더 강하게 하는것이라고 말하였다.(이런 미국의 징계가 북한을 고립시키는 것이 아닌, 북한을 더욱 하나로 만드는 것이라고 나름 생각하고 있음)

U.S. President Barack Obama signed an executive order Friday, while on vacation in Hawaii, to approve sanctions against three North Korean organizations and 10 senior officials as part of his “proportional response” to the attack on Sony that produced the “Interview,” a comedy about a scheme to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
하와이에서 휴가중인 오바마 미국 대통령은 금요일, 소니사에서 제작을한 "인터뷰"-(북한 통치자 김정은에 대한 암살을 다룬 영화)에 대한 공격과 관련 있는 3개의 북한 조직과 10명의 수석 공무관에 대해서 제재 승인에 대해서 행정명령을 내렸다.

Announcing the decision, the White House accused the North of carrying out “provocative, destabilizing and repressive actions and policies, particularly its destructive and coercive cyberattack on Sony Pictures.” It also said, “Today’s actions are the first aspect of our response.” 

Seoul’s Foreign Ministry called the sanctions an “appropriate response,” reiterating that cyberattacks to damage private andcorporate interests and the openness and security of cyberspace should not be tolerated. 

Those sanctioned will be banned from accessing the U.S. financial system and doing any transactions with U.S. nationals. But the largely symbolic sanctions are unlikely to further damage the economy of the heavily isolated country which is already under a series of international sanctions for its nuclear and missile tests.

The sanctions target the North’s Reconnaissance General Bureau, the country’s premier military spy agency, which Washington and Seoul believe orchestrated a series of cyber incursions against them. Seoul also blames the RGB for launching a string of fatal provocations including the 2010 torpedo attack on the corvette Cheonan that killed46 sailors. 

Korea Mining Development Trading Corp., in charge of the arms exports, and Korea Tangun Trading Corp., a defense research agency,have also been added to the sanctions list, as well as 10 senior officials, including those operating in Iran, Syria, China, Russia and Namibia.

“Even as the FBI continues its investigation into the cyberattack against Sony Pictures Entertainment, these steps underscore that we willemploy a broad set of tools to defend U.S. businesses and citizens,and to respond to attempts to undermine our values or threaten thenational security of the United States,” U.S. Treasury secretary JackLew said in a statement.

The sanctions came as Pyongyang has hardened its rhetoric againstthe U.S., while continuing its peace offensive toward the South andrefraining from launching its usual verbal attacks against Seoul.

“The U.S. is wholly responsible for its hitherto antagonistic, hostilerelationship with North Korea. The U.S. should throw away its hostilepolicy toward the North,” said a piece in Saturday’s edition of theRodong Sinmun, the daily of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party.

“Should the U.S. come forward with good will while respecting oursovereignty without intervening in our internal affairs, we would respondto that accordingly.” 

The two Koreas have moved closer to dialogue since the North Koreanleader demonstrated his desire to hold a “top-level meeting” with theSouth and restore cross-border ties in his New Year address.

Supporting the U.S. sanctions against the North, Seoul appears to have reaffirmed that it would deal separately with the issues of inter-Korean cooperation and provocations such as the nuclear development and cybervandalism.

In response to Kim’s New Year’s address, Seoul reiterated that itremained open to dialogue in any form. Some observers said the Northcould specify its desire for inter-Korean talks this week, while otherspresume that it may wait until after President Park Geun-hye deliversher New Year’s speech, which is expected to be delivered on Jan. 12.

The upcoming impediment to inter-Korean dialogue would be theplanned annual military exercise between the U.S. and South Korea,which will begin in February. The North Korean leader has called on theallies to cancel the exercise, but the South said the “defense” drills willproceed as planned.

오늘도 열심히 해석을 해보자.

The repercussions of Korean Air’s “nut rage” incident are expected to build as Heather Cho, daughter of the airline’s chairman, faces a government summons to question her on why she caused the delay of a Korean Air flight and deplaned a flight attendant last week, the Transport Ministry said Thursday.

대한항공 "땅콩리턴" 사고에 대한 영향으로 대한항공 회장의 딸 Heather Cho는 지난주에 발생했던 왜 대한항공 비행기가 지연됐고, 승무원이 비행기에서 내려야 했는지에 대해서 정부의 심의를 받기위해 소환될것이라고, 교통부에서 목요일 말했다.

The ministry issued a notification requesting her appearance for questioning on Friday, said Lee Gwang-hee, aviation safety division director of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. 

교통에 관한 행정 및 이착륙, 관련 기능에 관해서 담당하고 있는 이광희씨는 교통부가 금요일에 질문을 위한 참석 요청을 조부사장에게 했다고 말했다.

Cho will appear for the questioning, the company said. 

조현아씨는 질문에 대한 답을 하기위해서 참석할것이라고 회사는 말했다.

The ministry has also asked Korean Air to supply the list of passengers on the Friday flight, with their contact information, to clarify the facts. Korean Air has yet to comply. 

관련부서는 또한 사실여부 확인을 위해서 금요일 비행기에 탑승했던 승객의 연락처를 대한항공측에서 제공해 줄것을 요청하였다. 하지만 대한항공측은 아직 동의 하지 않았다.

The authorities are urging passengers to come forward and talk about what really happened. They have finished questioning 10 Korean Air employees, including the pilot of flight KE086 and the cabin crew. 

Adding more pressure to Korean Air, the Seoul Seobu District Prosecutors’ Office on Thursday raided the airline’s Seoul and Incheon headquarters to collect documents including the black box and flight operation records of the plane in question. 

“We conducted a hasty raid as the case has drawn public attention and concerns over fabrication of evidence,” a prosecution official said. 

After analyzing the documents, the prosecutors plan to question Cho, who is suspected of violating aviation safety law and obstruction of business. 

A day before, progressive civic group the People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy had filed a complaint with the prosecution, claiming that Korean Air’s management has forced its employees to make false testimonies to put the blame on the chief flight attendant who was forced to leave the plane.

On Monday, news reports revealed that Cho, 40, had ordered an employee to deplane over service standards while she was traveling in first class. 

The plane, carrying 250 passengers, had to taxi back to the terminal in New York to drop off the chief flight attendant before heading for Incheon. This caused a delay of 11 minutes in the flight. 

The authorities are currently investigating whether Cho’s actions infringed aviation laws.

The key points of the investigation include whether she was shouting while on board and detailed reasons for why the employee left the plane, and why the plane had to return to the terminal.

On Tuesday, Cho stepped down from all posts at Korean Air except as executive vice president. The day after, she said she would resign from this position as well.

Korean Air’s labor union has demanded a formal apology from Cho to the employees for violating their rights. 

Title : Gasoline prices drop below 1,700 won per liter

휘발유 값이 리터당 1,700원 이하로 떨어졌다.

Average petrol prices in South Korea have dropped to a little below1,700 won ($1.53) per liter, according to data by Opinet, an onlineservice provider of oil prices run by the state-run Korea National OilCorp.

Opinet(온라인으로 가격을 제공하는 업체)의 데이타에 따르면, 한국에서 평균 기름값이 리더당 1,700원 이하로 떨어졌다고 한다.

Opinet said Thursday that this was the first time in four years that the nation’s average gas prices have dropped below 1,700 won. 

Opinet은 목요일에 대한민국의 평균 기름값이 1,700원 밑으로 떨어진것은 4년내 처음이라고 보도 했다.

The agency attributed the latest fall to a decline in international oil prices triggered by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ unwillingness to cut oil supply. The move, which is reportedly designed to squeeze the shale supply of the United States,is expected to continue keeping a lid on global oil prices for the time being.

에이전트는 최근 기름값이 떨어지는것을 OPEC 국가들이 기름 생산량을 줄이지 않겠다는 것에서 원인이 있다고 했다. 미국의 셰일 가스 공급에 대한 계속적인 압박  움직임은 당분간 국제적 기름값에 대해서 우선권을 유지하기 위해서 계속 될것이라 말했다.

대충은 맞는것 같은데... 더 부드러워질때까지 고고싱.

President Park Geun-hye urged the rival parties Wednesday to support her government’s economic stimulus plan for next year. 

박근혜 대통령이 수요일 내년도 정부 경제 부흥책을 지원해 달라고, 새정치 민주연합 당에게 역설했다.

“Now is the last golden time for the country to rebuild its economy (as we are standing) at the crossroads between achieving another leap forward and falling into stagnation,” Park said in her 42-minute-long speech at the National Assembly, urging parliamentary approval of the 2015 budget.

박근혜 대통령은 국회에서 42분동안의 연설에서 "지금이 대한민국이 한발자국 더 도약하느냐 침체의 늪으로 떨어지느냐 기로에서서 경제를 리빌드 해야하는 적기이다. 2015년 예산을 승인해 주기 바란다고 말했다. (직역은 어렵군... 굉장히 한국적인 영어기사이다.)

“If we fail to deal with both external and internal challenges, we will face a long-term, painful stagnation and lose the driving forces to re-establish the economy,” she said, listing key economic risks including low growth, low inflation and a weak Japanese yen. 

박근혜 대통령은 "만약 우리가 내외적으로 놓여있는 과제를 처리하지 못하면, 장기적으로 아픈 침체에 직면할것이고, 경제를 다시 살려낼 동력을 잃어 버릴것이다" 라고 말했다. 그리고 낮은 성장, 낮은 인플레이션과 일본의 Yen의 약세가 이런 중요한 경제의 위험적인 요소라고 했다.

In the nationally televised speech, the president said that her government will expand its spending next year by 5.7 percent from this year, and will also risk further budget deficits, in order to stimulate the country’s sluggish economy.

텔레비전에서 중계된 연설에서, 대통령은 정부가 내년엔 올해보다 5.7퍼세트 예산을 증가시킬것이라 하였고, 또한 침체된 경제를 부흥시키기 위해서 예산적자를 감당할 것이라고 하였다.

Park also called for the swift passage of the public pension reform bill and requested rival parties to expedite its approval. 

박대통령은 또한 공적 연금의 개혁안을 빠르게 통과시킬것을 요구했고, 상대당에 빠른 승인또한 요청하였다.

“The public pension reform is an urgent issue,” she said, stressing a snowballing deficit in the pension fund and growing concern for the taxpayers’ financial burden.

“If we don’t renovate the system now, we will end up passing the burden to the next government and future generations,” Park said. “I ask for the parliament’s support to complete (the passage) of the reform (bill) within this year.”

The president’s budget speech came amid escalating tension between her and her party over an attempt to open discussion on constitutional amendments. Park’s visit to the parliament was expected to have an impact on the continuing political wrangling over a list of controversial bills, including the one aimed at launching an independent probe into the sinking of the Sewol ferry.

Most of her speech was dedicated to seeking parliamentary support for her reform measures that are being delayed by the prolonged political deadlock. The president, however, didn’t comment on political reform or the Sewol incident, at her speech. Park, instead, asked the parties to approve pending bills aimed at improving the people’s livelihood, rooting out corruption in officialdom and boosting the safety across the country.

Also mentioned in the speech was her desire to conclude the ongoing free trade deals with China, New Zealand and Vietnam. The president asked the rival parties to ratify the two free trade deals already signed with Australia and Canada, noting that the further delay in parliamentary approval will cause great losses to Korean exporters.

In her second parliamentary address since taking office in 2013, she sought parliamentary support to pass next year’s budget by the Dec. 2 legal deadline.

Members of the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy joined the others in giving a standing ovation to Park as she entered the Assembly hall. But a majority of the opposition members remained quiet during her speech, even as the ruling Saenuri Party lawmakers applauded 29 times. 

After the speech, the president met leaders of the two main parties.

Her move was seen as an attempt to seek a breakthrough in the prolonged political deadlock between rival parties and build momentum for the passage of her bills, which have been stalled since early this year.
