the mass walkout which is mainly affected freight services until now has now started to impact passenger train services including ak tx express trains in some way services and soul. the union representing workers of seoul metro says it will join the strike starting wednesday and in sports. police raided the offices of the country every other row corporations labor unions in seoul on tuesday morning. taking away documents and computer hard drives. hundreds of police officers lined up on the street outside to quell any possible unrest authorities also try to enforce arrest warrants that were issued on monday for ten union members but there are a lot by crowds of union members from gaining access to them. the strike is now set a record by going on dates. it's starting to take a toll on relief services nationwide. the country every euro corporation or a cool trail of the cute its operations after tx express trains quite often spend on tuesday for the first time since the strike began. still bleed services were scaled down seven percent on monday directly affecting commuters were having to wait longer than usual. with the disruption to train services. i was late my classes and meetings. it's been a very knowing. due to the railroad like to see more traffic congestion during rush hours to delay my rifle for us. and the prospects for further reductions in the number of cakes yet since all metro trains in the coming days race it's a possibility for more disruptions for passengers union members have shown metro lines one euro for an ounce of gold to link them the minute strike starting wednesday. the union said it will keep the minimum number of workers on the top needed to keep trains running striking workers are demanding the government reversed its free and set up a new rail operator which they claim is the first step toward private aviation the government and police call in an illegal strike and seagulls follow the letter of the law and dealing with it since then and i did onions in other news in its quest to wind down on profitable international operations general motors announced plans to withdraw production in australia and tropic chevrolet brand in europe it's left many wondering how much korea which has established itself as one of jen's main production cuts will be affected by the global restructuring and ga at the tips. this is the strength of the us dollar against almost all major trading currencies the relatively high cost of production. and the relatively small scale of the local domestic market those are the reasons cited by general motors last week read anything its manufacturing operation in australia by two thousand seventy. the worry and s korea faces the same negative factors in the milder four for now korea accounts for about a tenth mtn it will pull on a well planned and is responsible for developing its small cars including the spark. industry analysts say how weber the resent the end of it is a wakeup call for korea. as the country is not an exception for jen's global restructuring considering korea strong local currency i asked an relatively small domestic market gm korea's labor union and supply as most were on their efforts to improve productivity. all in all that. already gm korea was hit by the u s automakers decision late last year to scale back on the korean production of its compact car ruiz in the future. korea is currently at major production base for cruise but the compact model was being built here. when gm introduces its next generation model. on top of that jen's announcement this month to phase out sales of chevrolet vehicles in europe by two thousand sixteen was a major blow to the korean unit that's because in korea perdue says about ninety percent of the steady automobiles sold in europe or as much as a fifth of its total output in the short term korea will remain as the us on a science major production into the london center for small cars but its future will depend on its products the baby and price competitiveness. was it again well the economy may be in for a long slow recovery but some economists fear that korea's climb back out maybe really well as in similar to japan's decades long slow as japan's past comparable to curry as future to offer inside the now welcome doctors to do a professor of economics as in young women's university in the studio. it made my mind on a full professor wire economists concerned and to korea is going to look like japan's from the nineteen nineties well two countries has been suffering from pneumonia extend the use of the economic slow growth to slow business. and also to crunch is also free. so this pic from veteran rep did this you know that the jain community. and then god to come to stop competing fiercely in the global market because many of them commodities death sentence in the market although that thing in the sense to do this in the province that so often and introspection in korea since today's soon enough. at this ticket window parents sing while everyone around the world seems to be in the same but when it comes to slow growth but one thing unlikely that korea will trail behind you and others pick up because if you know the parody korea and japan seems to be better to stand in awe at the nick of the country on the economic and about deeper into the tin to the economic faction no change then use much wealthier. and off and have a very up world grounds of technology that than to shoot and go off so it is some respects i think you know japan is so red the stupidity of that adventure korea dispassionate been in the stone on assets in the japan is pretty rich in the global market in foundation investment. and yet i believe you still do remain hopeful about korea's future where korea's economic fundamentals starkly different from japan's first of the government debts and japan's government debts is over two hundred percent of the fruit gdp and of korea all it depended upon the definition of government dead but that the edition that all the fifty percent so off fiscal soundness is one of the kitchen go for full korea second advantage is that the strategy of the government. japan even though the trip and that japan is the strongest power in international trade so that the two wheeled open houses so you know never more than forty percent but in indicators korea. the degree of openness is almost a hundred percent seoul korea op is some or all oriented to toe raises so i think this one to be a basic difference between japan and korea from a western scholar in to make sure it does repeat past costly mistakes. well japan to the dispassionate after the prime minister of it the day are the odd kind of been on the following into full fledged of recovery the new policy association of putting out a moan into the system and also in open another box of government investment. so our entire economic recovery in japan is the government going to. but in korea under the new dish or bowl preston park which had been deducted from the porch in the sense that at the center of fish and parks policy does a people it was created for this and that individual private enterprises creative nasa so we can recoup costs of the spirit of business or entrepreneurship and that that is the basically one of the main difference that can beat up cars approach in korea. so the people and top with their creative ness and also the happiness and a whole. and that smart approach may make the critical difference a key so much for your insight with that new an end the typical winter day here in korea but there were some places in the east and south of the country are seeing snow showers at this now for the pelvis to overturn can book out at the weather center. a cookout with region's be the most affected and how much snow. are we looking at. good evening guys flat heavy snowfall lots has been pasted on the bounties and kyle until province
