S. Korean court orders Japanese firm to compensate forced labor
A South Korean court has ordered a major Japanese steelmaker to pay four Koreans for forced labor during Japan's occupation of the Korean Peninsula. The ruling could impact similar lawsuits pending in South Korea and further damage Seoul and Tokyo's troubled relations.

South Korea's Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that orders Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal Corporation to pay the plaintiffs nearly 90-thousand dollars each.
Just one of the four men who brought the suit seeking compensation and unpaid wages is still alive.
The men said they were forced to work at Japanese steel mills in the early 1940s.
Japan and South Korea have troubled ties over their past.
Many Koreans believe Japan still owes an official apology and compensation for actions during the colonial period.
Tokyo says the issue of forced labor was settled by a 1965 treaty to restore diplomatic ties.

North, South Korean Youth Compete in Football Match
South Korea hosted North Korea in an under-15 football match on Monday. Despite being relatively unknown, the tournament is much more than a soccer fixture when it comes to diplomacy and peace efforts between the two Koreas.

At the match east of Seoul, thousands of South Koreans wave their national flag.
They also wave the unification flag, which depicts the Korean Peninsula as a whole before war tore it apart.
Fans cheer loudly for BOTH sides.
The Ari Sports cup features eight teams, including regional rivals China and Vietnam.
But for the Korean organizers, at least, it's about more than winning. It's a rare glimpse at unification of North and South, a lost dream for some after nearly 70 years of division.
The muscle behind the event, Gangwon Province Governor Choi Moon-soon, uses sport to promote the North-South peace process.
It was this same tournament in China last year where Choi met North Korean officials and encouraged them to attend the Winter Olympics in South Korea.
If Choi has his way, the sports and cultural exchanges will continue. But for now nothing more, such as trading or investment, while international sanctions remain firmly in place against North Korea.
