Tesla CEO Elon Musk has acquired Twitter. North Korea held a military parade last night (25th) later than originally expected. Morning & World begins. Reporter Ahn Eui-geun, who is in charge of in-depth coverage of international diplomacy and security, came out today.
Billionaire Elon Musk finally bought Twitter.

It was acquired for 44 billion dollars, regarding 55 trillion won in Korean money.
The New York Times reported that it had put a 38% management premium on Twitter’s share price this month.
“It’s a triumph for the world’s richest person to take over influential social media frequented by world leaders, celebrities and cultural trendsetters.”
“Freedom of expression is the foundation of a functioning democracy,” Musk wrote on his Twitter account. “Twitter has great potential.”
Musk is now operating a private space exploration company, SpaceX, as well as Twitter, a social media, to Tesla, an electric vehicle maker.

That’s great. I wonder what other changes will be made on Twitter. North Korea held a military parade last night. Did you get a video?
[기자]
Our military authorities also confirmed that we held a pre-ceremonial event at 9 o’clock last night and a military parade at 10 o’clock last night.
The Chosun Central TV video has not yet arrived.
NK News, a US media specializing in North Korea, also reported that the military authorities confirmed the facts and said that the military parade began following 12 flying objects, such as helicopters and drones, flew into Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung Square.
It is expected that the details of the military parade will be broadcast as a recorded video from Chosun Central TV during today.
Initially, it was reported that there is a high possibility that it will be opened early in the morning, but there are also observations that the weather may have had an effect, such as some rain in Pyongyang the day before.
One more news regarding North Korea.
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom has recommended the State Department redesignate North Korea as a country of special concern for religious freedom.
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom is an independent, bipartisan federal agency established by the US Congress to make foreign policy recommendations to the US President and Secretary of State to promote religious freedom in each country.
North Korea was re-designated as a country of special concern for religious freedom last year.
If this year is included, it will be re-designated for 21 consecutive years.

Did the British politicians talk regarding the movie ‘Basic Instinct’?
[기자]
The Conservative Party’s remarks sparked sexual hatred, and the political world was turned upside down.
According to the Mail on Sunday report.
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said an anonymous Conservative MP said it was as if she had her legs crossed and untied during a meeting to distract British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s attention.
Lee also said that Vice-President Raynor looked like Sharon Stone from the old movie ‘Basic Instinct’.
Vice President Raynor even said that it’s difficult to beat Johnson in debate skills, but there are other skills.
As soon as the article went out, accusations of misogynism poured in, and Vice President Raynor strongly condemned it as sexist.
Prime Minister Johnson said he would be disciplined if the speaker was found to be horrendous misogyny.
House Speaker Lindsey Hoyle has summoned the editor of Mail on Sunday, who reported the article, but it’s unclear whether the editor will reveal the name of Congressman Lee.
The British Parliament, unlike ours, is impressive in the scene where they openly exchange words with a table in between.
This time, he hid behind anonymity and said something very inappropriate.
[앵커]
It seems that both the remarks and the reports were inappropriate. Until now, I was reporter Ahn Eui-geun.
