Thank you for staying with us.
Tuesday's Talk is dedicated to news from around the world‚ ranging from the practical‚ to the just plain fun.
As always‚ our Lee Jeewon is in the studio with me.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Hello‚ Jeewon.
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: Hi‚ Sunhee.
If you could name the most distinctive feature of our station Arirang‚ what would you say?
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Well‚ it broadcasts around the globe 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: Yes‚ it does. And so does CNN‚ BBC World and a few others. Starting last week‚ the French now have their own round-the-clock channel. Let's go to the report for details.
Funded by the French government‚ a 24-hour satellite and cable TV news channel was launched last Wednesday outside Paris.
The brainchild was French President Jacques Chirac who wants to spread France's vision on world affairs focusing on diversity and debate.
JACQUES CHIRAC‚ FRENCH PRESIDENT: "It is important for a big country like France to have its own vision of the world and broadcast this vision‚ naturally in accordance with our traditions‚ our idea of the civilization‚ of peace‚ of humanism and globalization. This is‚ I think‚ what France24 will express."
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: The broadcast is available in both French and English with an Internet operation on the side.
Arabic and Spanish-language services are also planned.
The station expects to attract more than 190 million viewers across the continents when fully operating.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: I see.
So how does the station size up to its competitors in terms of budget and staff?
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: It's starting with an annual operating budget of roughly 100 million US dollars and 170 people on the editorial team.
So‚ it's quite small compared to other global players in the field.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: It'd be interesting to see how the project develops. What's next ?
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: The two items up next are from Japan.
First is a children's toy gone upscale.
The world's priciest Hello Kitty item went on sale last week at a department store in Tokyo.
With a price tag of about 160‚000 US dollars‚ the cat figurine is made of pure platinum.
It weighs under 600 grams‚ and is less than six centimeters tall.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Do I see some rocks on her ribbon?
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: Yep.
The hair tie comes in SEVEN versions‚ namely diamond‚ ruby‚ pink sapphire‚ brown diamond‚ lemon quartz‚ amethyst and blue topaz.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Quite fancy.
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: Tell me about it.
The jewels can double as necklace pendants.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: So what was the occasion for carving this statuette?
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: The company that makes the product Japan's Sanrio wanted to celebrate the fifth anniversary of carving the figures.
The iconic cat generates the company more than A BILLION dollars a year worldwide.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Cute AND rich. No wonder she's so popular!
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: Our third item is about a sub-marine Santa Claus.
Tokyo's Sunshine aquarium was packed with visitors Thursday who came to watch Santa Claus leave his reindeer to feed some fish.
Four divers at the aquarium have dressed up as Kris Kringle since last month as part of a special Christmastime show.
The hourly program will continue through Christmas Day.
Let's move to the United States for a peek at a blockbuster video.
MIN SUNHEE‚ ANCHOR: Okay. Onward we go!
LEE JEEWON‚ REPORTER: That's Barney star of the annual Christmas show at the White House.
The films featuring Barney and two other pets of US President George W. Bush are always a hit.
And this year's is no exception.
The movie also features other familiar faces of the presidentia
