Yemeni asylum seekers in Jeju hope to reduce prejudices기사요약: 3년째 진행 중인 예맨 내전으로 549명의 난민들이 말레이시아를 경유해 제주에 입국했다. 현재 난민 신청을 위해 제주에 체류 중인 이들은 486명이다. 이들이 제주도를 선택한 이유는 무비자로 입국 가능한 지역이며 안전한 곳이라는 인식 때문이다. 예맨 난민들은 제주 외에 다른 지역으로 이동할 수 없다. 생명의 위협을 받는 전시 국가 예맨에서 온 이 난민들을 인도주의적 차원에서 받아들여 돌봐줘야 한다는 사람들도 많지만, 난민 신청 허가를 반대하는 목소리도 크다.아이튠즈(아이폰): https://itunes.apple.com/kr/podcast/koliaheleoldeu-paskaeseuteu/id686406253?mt=2팟빵 (안드로이드): http://www.podbbang.com/ch/6638[1] When the in-flight

Light is what surrounds us and fills the space we are in. Yet we seldom pay attention to its importance or the effect it casts on the things it touches. In interior design, lights are coordinated not only to brighten up the space, but also to direct people’s gaze and to illuminate or shadow objects. For Kwon Ho-jung, a 29-year-old office worker in Seoul, multiple lightings go beyond the role of illuminating her living space. Kwon’s is one of the increasing one-person households in urban Korea.

도널드 트럼프 미국 대통령이 12일 싱가포르에서 기자들을 만나 장장 1시간여 회견을 가졌다. 이 자리에서 트럼프는 서울의 인구를 턱없이 높여 잡았다. 　　트럼프는 북한의 완전한 비핵화가 이루어질 것이며, 비록 이것이 과학적으로 시간 소요가 필요한 일이지만 가능한 빨리 점진적으로 이룰 것임을 발표했다.　　이어, ‘상당한’ 비핵화가 이루어지지 않는다면 북한을 상대로 한 경제적 제재는 풀리지 않을 것이라고 말했다.　(사진=AFP-연합뉴스)　한 외신 기자는 만일 북한이 약속을 이행하지 않을 경우의 계획은 무엇인지 물었는데, 이에 트럼프는 “그건 협박처럼 들린다. 나는 이 시점에서 협박을 하고 싶지 않다”며 지금은 평화를 논할 때임을 강조했다. 　　이어서 북한과의 갈등에 남한이 희생될 수 있는 점을 말하며, “서울은 큰 도시다. 무려 2천8백만 명이 살고 있다”고 말했다.　　서울 인구는 지난해 말 기준 1천만 명이 채 안된다. 이는 미국의 뉴욕과 일본의 도쿄와 비슷한 수준이다. 　　트럼프는
