And while in New York, President Moon gave an interview to cable news giant Fox News,

in which he said both South and North Korea and the United States have the same idea when

it comes to ending the Korean War.

And as for the North's denuclearization, he said this latest push is different from those

of the past.

Shin Se-min reports.

Speaking to Fox News, President Moon Jae-in discussed the outcomes of diplomacy with North

Korea.

The President said the regime will in fact give up its nuclear weapons because the promise

to do so comes from the very top of the regime's chain of command.

He said that although many are skeptical about whether North Korea really will follow through,...

the latest agreements, including the one between leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald

Trump,... are different from those of the past.

President Moon also spoke for Kim, whose promises, he said -- to allow outside inspections of

key nuclear test sites and to dismantle facilities -- are in sync with the U.S. policy of Complete,

Verifiable and Irreversible Denuclearization, or CVID.

The President also alluded to what that the "corresponding measures" Pyeongyang wants

from Washington might be.

He said they could be a formal declaration ending the Korean War, or humanitiarian aid

of some sort, maybe non-political exchanges like cultural networking -- or even setting

up a U.S. liaison office in Pyeongyang.

And touching upon South Korea's ironclad alliance with Washington,... the President added that

officially ending the Korean War would not hamper the allies' strong connection.

And speaking with a group of some 200 opinion leaders with close links to Korea issues,

the President also shared his take on diplomacy with the North.

He explained Kim Jong-un's point of view as expressed in their latest meeting in Pyeongyang.

"He (Chairman Kim) said, what would the North gain from deceiving or wasting time?

If they did that, he said, the U.S. would come back with strong retaliation and how

would the North deal with that?

Now is the time."

"The president's message in New York is clear,... the major players in the region,... the two

Koreas and the United States,... have one firm goal in mind.

Opening up a new era of everlasting peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula as

a team,... by seeing through the denuclearization of North Korea and ending the decades-long

Korean War.

Shin Se-min, Arirang News, New York."

'The club is up in the air‚ everyone is up in the air‚' admits Celtic CEO Konco - Duration: 3:59.

'The club is up in the air‚ everyone is up in the air‚' admits Celtic CEO Konco

'The club is up in the air‚ everyone is up in the air‚' admits Celtic CEO Konco.

  Bloemfontein Celtic's players have returned to full training this week following last week's strike over signing-on fees not being paid‚ and in protest at the sale of the club falling through.

Celtic's players did not train last week in protest of a sale agreement made in mid-August by debt-ridden chairman Max Tshabalala to business people Sinki Leshabane and Moeketsi Mosola being terminated‚ and some players' signing-on fees having not been paid.

Despite this‚ Celtic managed to honour their Absa Premiership fixture against Maritzburg United on Sunday‚ though they slumped to their first defeat of the season‚ 1-0 at Dr Molemela Stadium.

Celtic CEO Khumbulani Konco said the players returned to training on Monday.

"The players are training now‚" he said.

Asked if that meant the strike had ended‚ he said: "I'm not saying the strike has ended.

I'm just saying the players are back at training.

"Because remember‚ it's not like there's a union in-between and we are negotiating a wage increase‚ and then there's a strike.

"So ja‚ the players are back at training.

Yesterday they trained in full and today they trained in full‚ so they are back." Konco was asked if the reason he could not say the strike had ended was because the situation was still too up in the air at Celtic.

"Everything is up in the air‚" he said.

"The club is up in the air‚ everyone is up in the air." Konco said the players' salaries have been up to date.

The strike was to do with some players still not having been paid their signing-on fees‚ and was made in solidarity by the entire squad.

Those have still not been paid‚ Konco said.

Some players have also threatened to terminate their contracts should Tshabalala retain ownership of the club.

Leshabane and Mosola pulled out of the sale agreement due‚ they claimed‚ to the ownership structure of the club being complicated – with two registered companies – and Tshabalala not being forthcoming with information they requested on those.

Tshabalala's huge personal debt of R60-million‚ of which R43-million is owed to the South Africa Revenue Services (Sars)‚ who want to attach any funds paid to purchase Celtic‚ is believed to be another deterrent.

Tshabalala's lawyer and cousin Mandla Tshabalala has said these are excuses‚ and should not be a stumbling block to a sale going through.

He has suggested that Leshabane and Mosola do not in fact have the funds to purchase Celtic at R40-million and then sustain the club.
