Climate ambitions are running into macroeconomic headwinds in the European Union and the United Kingdom. Speaking in late May, French Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire adamantly rejected the idea that France’s transition to a net-zero economy should be financed by issuing more debt. Then, just days later, Rachel Reeves, the UK’s shadow chancellor, backtracked from an earlier campaign pledge to borrow 28 billion euros ($35 billion) per year to finance climate investments. She now

Expect periods of moderate or heavy rain throughout the week, as rain clouds are likely to hang over South Korea in the start of what is forecast to be a particularly wet summer, the weather agency said Sunday. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the storm systems that drenched much of the country Sunday will stay in place through Monday, before making way for a new stationary low-pressure system that will wreak havoc on the peninsula. On Sunday, heavy rain advisories were issu

For five days, “Breaking News” alerts hit my phone repeatedly with updates on the search for a missing submersible. The search for the five-passenger vessel began only days after an overloaded migrant vessel capsized carrying some 750 desperate people bound for Greece. The migrants aboard came from Pakistan, Egypt, Syria and Palestine, all funneled through Libya in a desperate attempt to reach Europe. Only 104 survivors have been found, making it one of the deadliest sinkings ever in

In the past week, the US Supreme Court, in a landmark 6-3 ruling, struck down what may have been one of the key factors in making that story possible: affirmative action in higher education. In an opinion drafted by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court rejected race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard (Obama’s law sc

Seven decades after an armistice halted massive death and destruction throughout the Korean Peninsula, the South and North remain technically at war. With leaders of both sides ramping up belligerent rhetoric, a formal peace agreement is as elusive as it was in 1953. Talking about peace right now seems naive, or for some even like leftist pro-North propaganda. Unification looks even farther off. The older generation still misses family members and friends who ended up on the opposite side in the

An official sorts dollar bundles at a Hana Bank branch in Seoul, Wednesday.

The dollar's fall boosted the converted value of holdings denominated in other currencies such as the euro and pound. Financial institutions' foreign currency holdings also went up, the Bank of Korea explained.

Find the correct answer at the bottom of the page. Cafes are found in almost every nook and cranny of Seoul, as well as elsewhere throughout the country. A common sight in these establishments is individuals sitting at tables meant for four, engrossed in intellectual activity -- predominantly studying -- with their headphones on. These individuals have come to be called "cagongjok," a blend of the words "cafe," "gongbu" (studying) and "jok" (tribe). Th
