  • Janet Yellen

  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.” 14 hours ago
  • Eric Adams
    Eric Adams “We cannot allow what should be a lawful protest to turn into a violent spectacle that saves and serves no purpose. There's no place for acts of hate in our city. I want to continue to commend the professionalism of the police department and to thank Columbia University. It was a tough decision, we understood that. But with the very clear evidence of their observation and the clear evidence from our intelligence division, that they understood it was time to move and the action had to end and we brought it to a peaceful conclusion.” 22 hours ago
  • Sergei Shoigu
    Sergei Shoigu “To maintain the required pace of the offensive … it is necessary to increase the volume and quality of weapons and military equipment supplied to the troops, primarily weapons.” 23 hours ago

“I believe the DPK [Democratic Party of Korea] can also make progress if we can clearly judge the forces led by Lee Jae-myung and sort out these people who do not know what democracy or economy is.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has consistently called for a universal basic income. He is currently taking a rather soft position on the matter, saying he would not unilaterally push for the basic income policy without social consensus. But it is likely that he would put a stronger drive into introducing a basic income once elected. In contrast, Yoon [Yoon Suk-yeol] would shift the focus of economic policies to encouraging entrepreneurial growth over wealth distribution, introducing more business-friendly policies by easing regulations and offering tax incentives. If Yoon is elected, he would emphasize the principle that denuclearization should come first before inter-Korean cooperation, whereas Lee would continue the engagement policies pursued by the Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in governments. For other neighboring countries, Lee would try to strike a balance between China and the U.S. amid their growing rivalry, but it would be hard to expect that bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan could improve under Lee's leadership, as he is focused on the historical issues between the countries. For Yoon, it is obvious that he would be committed to strengthening the South Korea-U.S. alliance and improving relations with Japan, considering the figures selected as members of his election camp.”

“All in all, neither Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] nor Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has emerged in this race as a skilful politician who can resolve South Korea's many problems as president. The biggest obstacle to their success appears to be the voters', especially young voters', disillusionment with them and their parties. Indeed, despite countless scandals and failures, the two main political parties in the country hardly changed their approach to politics or developed inspiring new policies that can steer the nation through numerous internal and external difficulties.”

“Lee [Lee Jae-myung], who served as governor of Gyeonggi Province until October, is promising three major reforms: unconditional basic income (UBI), a land tax, and a carbon tax. Alone, each of these would be radical; together, they form the basis of a programme that could be transformative.”

“As Kritenbrink [Daniel Kritenbrink] is a key figure in the Biden administration regarding regional matters, his meetings with the presidential candidates, with Moon [Moon Jae-in] still remaining in office, indicates the U.S. policy direction is to prepare for the next South Korean government, while seeking to maintain the status quo with the current administration. The assistant secretary is a China expert and the Biden administration's priority is to curb China's global influence, but the current South Korean government is not actively engaged in the U.S.-led anti-China alliance. In that sense, the meetings between Kritenbrink and the presidential candidates [Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-youl] are delivering a message that the U.S. cares about who will be in power here during its campaign against Beijing.”

“Compared to Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl], who has failed to present his own political vision, Lee [Lee Jae-myung] has a relatively stable image as a veteran politician. However, controversy is rising over scandals surrounding him, and his support rate is waning because of these. Lee is now urged to appeal to the young group by presenting viable policy plans as to how to put his basic income policy as well as other plans he has promised, such as providing more housings, into action.”

“Many of those in their 60s and 70s support Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] and many of those in their 40s and 50s support Lee [Lee Jae-myung], according to recent polls. Those in their 20s and 30s have turned their back on the current liberal ruling bloc, disappointed with its many corruption scandals. But Yoon has also failed to win their support, which was seen in the PPP [People Power Party] primary where Rep. Hong won more support from them. Yoon's leadership style as the former top prosecutor is outdated compared to other veteran candidates who have actively adapted to changing trends. Yoon has also failed to present his own political vision, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time. As he hurriedly rushed into the presidential election without any political experience, he will have to bring strong political figures or veteran politicians into his camp.”

“The times have changed. In the past, we believed only those in extreme poverty were in a difficult situation, but today those in the middle class are also having difficulties, with many of them in irregular jobs. Such promises of handing out money, especially Governor Lee's [Lee Jae-myung] basic income policy pledge, are reflecting the changes.”
