On Wednesday, October 23, the start briefing will begin.

First, it's the JoongAng Ilbo.

When I rolled up the net at the mouth of the Han River, it was shocking that it was 'half shrimp and half waste vinyl'. Let's go to Ganghwado Island, the best fishing ground for salted shrimp in Korea. If you look at it, fishermen are classifying shrimp and garbage. It is said that the large waste should be removed first, and the plastic waste should be filtered again by turning on a large fan on the stomach. It used to be possible by hand, but now it's hard to handle. I even have to buy an automatic sorting machine that costs more than 10 million won and filter out the trash. This year, the amount of garbage collected until last month was 2,300 60L hemp cloths. Even a simple calculation, it's over 130,000 liters. Most of the waste in the net was plastic waste. In particular, it was found in the middle of the Han River, which means that a large amount of plastic waste is moving in the water. It is said that there is a possibility that a large amount of illegally dumped garbage accumulated somewhere in the past and then moved along with the current. There seems to be a need for a thorough investigation in this regard.

Next is the Dong-A Ilbo.

Remember the news that the police spent 34 million won in cash seized at a gambling place in May to pay off their gambling debts? There have been a series of incidents in which police steal confiscated items stored at the police station. However, there is only one employee in each office in charge of managing confiscated materials, so they may steal them before registration. The confiscated items seized by the police are sealed and stored until they are sent to the prosecution. The police station is checking the status of the confiscated items once a month, and the provincial police agency is checking the status of the confiscated items quarterly. The problem is that there is only one employee in charge of confiscated goods, so there is no choice but to be a gap. A police official also compared it to "a bank employee taking money out of a safe, filling up fake money and pretending that there is nothing wrong with the computer." The longer the confiscated goods are stored, the greater the risk of theft. There were cases where they were caught taking out 300 million won little by little over four months this year. The absurd situation in which the police steal confiscated by the police should be prevented. Experts point out that we should introduce a surprise inspection. In addition, the newspaper also reports that cross-checking is necessary by increasing the number of management personnel to several.

This time, it's the Seoul Shimbun.

workplace bullying that shouldn't be in any workplace. However, harassment, such as derogatory remarks such as "I can't understand what elementary school students say," is also prevalent in the public office. Last year, it became a big controversy when it was revealed that the boss told a premarital pregnant employee, "She's pregnant with a fatherless child." Officials say that the internal audit office is useless, and that it is better to report anonymous reports centers or auditors. It is said that there is also 'ambiguous harassment' that only bothers people so much that they can't make a problem. There are complaints that they can't even report emotional work orders, saying, "Tune them all for me." It is also a problem that there is no explicit provision for civil servants to be protected from workplace bullying. This is because the National Public Service Act is applied first. The number of civil servants disciplined for workplace bullying increased by 30% last year. However, there are concerns that soft punishment will produce secondary harm. When looking at the type of disciplinary action, there were the most reprimands. There was no dismissal, and only about five people each from the central government and local governments were dismissed. Right now, in March and April, two low-age civil servants killed themselves due to bullying in the workplace. There seems to be a need for measures to flexibly operate rigid organizational structures and root out repeated bullying in the name of 'practice'.

Let's move on to the Hankook Ilbo.The 'miracle obesity drug' called

made landfall in Korea last week. However, it was possible to prescribe it in 30 seconds because it used non-face-to-face treatment. It is being prescribed without questioning or questioning everywhere, so concerns over misuse are being pointed out. To get a prescription for a stomach bug, you must have a weight-related comorbid condition or exceed certain BMI criteria. However, there are random prescriptions that don't ask about height and weight, and there are no medications or side effects. After receiving the prescription, compare the prices by pharmacy, send the prescription online, and visit, and the purchase process is over. There are also a lot of comments online about 'reviews of non-face-to-face gastric emptying prescriptions'. They also share tips on purchasing high-priced goods with each other, such as "I won't check it even if I say I'll increase my weight," and "Please give me information on holy sites where I can buy cheaply." Non-face-to-face treatment, which has been fully allowed, is being misused. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has decided to block overseas direct purchases of obesity drugs. Please note that without proper prescription and medication guidance from a doctor or pharmacist, there may be side effects and misuse.

This is the last article.

Did you know that 50g of greenhouse gases are emitted during a 20-minute shower? If you use a liter of water, you get 0.332 grams of greenhouse gas. It is said that reducing the washing time by 5 minutes can slow climate change, so let's look at the contents. One Korean uses 306 liters of water a day. 101g of greenhouse gases are emitted a day just by using water in daily life. I've been told to save water since I was young, but I can also reduce greenhouse gases while saving water. The method is simple. Reduce water usage time and get into the habit of receiving and using water. It's something that we all already know from our heads. What effect would it have if all 9.35 million Seoul citizens reduced their shower time by 5 minutes? It can reduce 224,400 kilograms of greenhouse gases per day. A year has the effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 82,000 tons. If the whole nation participates, the effect will be greater than expected. Collect the laundry and spin it, and use a water-saving shower.The way to reduce greenhouse gases is near us. From today on, I hope you all start climate action to save water in your daily lives.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of October 23.

This has been the start briefing.
