The recovered Sewol-ho ferry is finally on dry land,... more than a week after arriving

at its final destination of Mokpo New Port... and almost three years since the deadly disaster

in 2014.

It's been a painstaking process due to the sheer weight of the ferry... and concerns

about its structural condition after being submerged under seawater for so long.

For more, we connect to our Kim Min-ji -- who is at the site.

Min-ji, fill us in on the latest.

Mark There's been a change in plans with the land

transfer operation.

Initially, the Sewol-ho ferry was to be placed on support brackets with the deck facing the

dock side,... but officials have decided to keep it where it is now.

That's because of the weak structural condition of the ferry,... and they have found alterations

in the structure while it was being moved.

If the ferry is moved further,... there's concern that it could sustain further damage.

"Officials have discovered malformations due to the vessel's weak structure.

As there's a possibility of further damage if the vessel is moved further,... we've decided

to secure the vessel at its current location.

We will conduct related investigations in a timely manner and take appropriate safety

measures."

The Sewol-ho ferry completely came onto shore on Sunday afternoon,... after a four-and-a-half-hour

transfer to the semi-submersible, which the ferry was on.

A total of 600 wheeled platform vehicles, or modular transporters,... were used to support

the ferry,... which is estimated to weigh 17-thousand tons.

Now, just to give you a brief recap -- The land transfer comes nearly three years....

after the vessel capsized off Korea's southwestern coast on April 16th, 2014,... killing 304

people,... and nine passengers are still unaccounted for.

Over the next week,... the vessel will be disinfected and fumigated and a safety check

will be conducted.

When that's done, the search for the missing will begin.

An underwater search of the seabed where the Sewol-ho lay is also expected to resume later

in the afternoon,... if the currents subside.

Divers will be searching an area covering 32 square kilometers over the next two months...

and a metal fence has been installed there to prevent any bodies from being lost.

Back to you, Mark.

Top nuclear envoys of S. Korea, China to discuss results of Trump-Xi summit - Duration: 2:00.

We start with some crunch talks between South Korea and China...

Beijing's top nuclear envoy is set to meet his South Korean counterpart for the first

time this year.

Top of their agenda is last week's summit between the U.S. and China.

The diplomat is expected to convey any changes to China's North Korea policy now there's

a new man in the White House.

Wu Dawei is also due to meet South Korea's presidential hopefuls while he's here.

Connie Kim reports.

China's top nuclear envoy Wu Dawei will be holding talks with his South Korean counterpart

in Seoul to discuss the results of the recently-held U.S.-China summit in Florida.

South Korea's special representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs Kim Hong-kyun's

meeting with his Chinese counterpart is the first in 2017 following their nuclear talks

in December.

Wu is expected to explain China's stance on the North Korea issue following the talks

between presidents Trump and Xi. Trump had pushed Beijing to exert more pressure

on Pyongyang,... but China insisted it did not have that degree of influence.

Before dinner with the Chinese president,... Trump ordered missile strikes on a Syrian

airbase,... which many experts said raised the stakes for China... as it could signal

what Washington might do about North Korea.

There is possibility Wu will convey China's stance on a U.S. aircraft carrier-led strike

group that is toward the Korean Peninsula.

U.S. Pacific Command announced on Saturday that it had directed the USS Carl Vinson strike

group to sail north to the Western Pacific after departing Singapore.

Although it did not specifically mention North Korea,... two U.S. officials have reportedly

said the move is designed to send a message to Pyongyang in the face of its escalating

nuclear threats.

During the Chinese nuclear envoy's four to five-day stay in South Korea, Wu plans to

meet South Korea's presidential hopefuls to explain China's North Korea policy and its

opposition to the deployment of the THAAD missile defense system on South Korean soil.

U.S. goal is not to change North Korean regime: Tillerson - Duration: 1:59.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has opened up on the Trump administration's North

Korea policy.

He also said there's hope Washington and Beijing can work together to pressure Pyongyang to

give up its nuclear and missile ambitions.

Kim Hyo-sun reports.

In an interview with ABC on Sunday,...

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington wishes to see a denuclearized Korean

Peninsula,... but has no intention to force regime change in the North.

Tillerson said North Korea seems to have perfected its missile delivery system,... and this is

Washington's greatest concern.

"I think in terms of North Korea, we've been very clear that our objective is a de-nuclearized

Korean peninsula, we have no objective to change the regime in North Korea, that is

not our objective and so the whole reasons underlying the development of a nuclear program

in North Korea are simply not credible."

And in a separate interview with CBS,... Tillerson said China also sees North Korea as a threat,...

adding that presidents Trump and Xi shared that perspective during their recent summit

in Florida.

Emphasizing that there's hope the U.S. and China can cooperate,... he said the conditions

in the minds of the North Korean leadership can be changed.

Tillerson's comments come as one of Trump's security aides told Fox News on Sunday that

the president has asked officials to provide a full range of options when it comes to North

Korea's nuclear issue.

National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster also described the stationing of the U.S.

Navy strike group near the Korean Peninsula as a prudent decision.

However,...

Russian lawmakers have reportedly expressed concern that Washington's latest move could

spark more unpredictable behavior by the regime.

Calling the deployment very inappropriate,... they warned that North Korea could carry out

unexpected provocations if it feels its security is at stake.

8 Reasons Why You Should Drink Black Tea - Duration: 4:24.

8 Reasons Why You Should Drink Black Tea

Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world after water.

If you've ever wondered whether your daily cup of black tea is healthy or not, the answer

is yes!

Black tea is loaded with antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage,

improve mental alertness and promote heart health, among other benefits.

Here are eight health benefits of black tea:

1.

Black Tea Lowers The Risk Of Alzheimer's Disease

When researchers studied 957 Chinese seniors 55 and older, they found that "regular consumption

of tea lowers the risk of cognitive decline in the elderly by 50 percent."

The study also showed that those who carry the APOE e4 gene and are at risk for developing

Alzheimer's disease 'may experience a reduction in cognitive impairment risk by

as much as 86 percent."

2.

Black Tea Boosts Heart Health

In a recent study, researchers looked at the effects of black tea consumption on the risk

of ischaemic heart disease.

They followed more than 350,000 men and women between the ages of 30 and 79.

After seven years, they found that consumption of tea was associated with a reduced risk

of ischaemic heart disease, as well as a lower risk of major coronary events such as a heart

attack.

3.

Black Tea Lowers Stress Hormones

Research has shown that black tea can help relieve the stresses of daily life by lowering

stress hormones like cortisol.

In one study, 75 healthy male tea drinkers were split into two groups.

For six weeks, one group consumed a caffeinated black tea while the other group drank a beverage

that tasted the same and had the same level of caffeine, yet it did not contain any other

active tea compounds.

The men underwent stress-inducing situations while researchers kept tract of their stress

hormone levels, blood pressure levels, heart rates and self-reported stress levels.

They found that the real black tea drinkers experienced a lowering of cortisol levels

that was noticeably lower than the other group.

They also experienced a sense of relaxation after the stressful event.

4.

Black Tea May Help Fight Cancer

Black tea is a major source of flavonoids, inclduing catechin, epicatechin, kaempferol

and myricetin.

In a 2013 study, researchers investigated the effects of consuming flavonoid-rich black

tea on prostate cancer risk in over 58,000 men.

The study found that increased flavonoid and black tea intake was linked to a lower risk

of advanced stage prostate cancer.

Other studies have shown that the flavonoids in black tea have a strong ability to stop

the growth of ovarian cancer cells.

5.

Black Tea Lowers The Risk of Parkinson's Disease

Researchers found that men who consume 421 to 2,716 milligrams of total caffeine – approximately

5-33 cups of black tea – seem to have the lowest risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

Men who drink as little as 124-208 milligrams of caffeine each day – about 1-3 cups of

black tea – also have a significantly lower chance of developing Parkinson's disease.

Studies have shown that in women, 1-4 cups of black tea per day is best.

6.

Black Tea Helps Reduce The Risk Of Diabetes

A study published in the journal Diabetologia looked at tea consumption in relationship

to the development of type 2 diabetes.

The study involved 40,011 participants.

After ten years, researchers found that 918 subjects had developed type 2 diabetes.

The study showed that drinking both tea and coffee was linked with a decreased risk of

type 2 diabetes.

7.

Black Tea Is A Natural Antibacterial

Black tea has powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

Research has shown that the phenolic compounds in black tea have the ability to inhibit some

types of bacteria.

Black tea consumed with honey has been shown to specifically kill H. pylori bacteria, which

can prevent many harmful symptoms, including ulcers.

8.

Black Tea Can Relieve An Upset Stomach

If you have an upset stomach, a black tea might be able to help.

The tannins in black tea have an astringent effect on the intestinal lining.

This can help calm inflammation in the intestines and help stop diarrhea.

If dehydration is a concern, opt for decaffeinated black tea.

Warm afternoon in central region, overcast skies and rain elsewhere - Duration: 2:20.

Good afternoon.

Today's weather is pretty much a repeat of yesterday's conditions, temperature-wise that

is.

The capital region will have a balmy high of over 20 degrees Celsius while the rest

of the nation will have cooler temperatures due to easterly winds and rain later in the

day.

10 to 40 millimeters of rain are expected for most parts of the southern regions with

Jeju Island and southern coastal regions receiving heavier showers.

So rain and clouds as well as easterly winds will push down the highs to the mid teens

in the east.

Busan and Jeju Island will have a high of 15 degrees while Daegu will get up to 18 while

the rest will see highs hovering in the 20 degrees Celsius range.

Spring is beautiful, but it's also the time of year for seasonal allergies.

Many people with hay fever start to sniffle and sneeze.

To cope with these symptoms, experts say it's best to avoid alcohol and keep clean by taking

a shower as soon as you get home.

As for the weather outlook unseasonably warm temperatures will return to seasonal averages

on Tuesday and nationwide rainfall is in store on Friday afternoon.
