2:02 pm
more going on here. well this is a very worrying development development that potentially puts into korean relations back into the deep freeze we had been expecting some dramatic action like this things have been building up in this direction of course have been having worsening relations over a period of weeks if not months against the background of stalled dialogue between north korea and the united states and so on but in recent times north korea has used the potential actions by defect to groups here in south korea releasing balloons propaganda balloons into the north it's going to cause coming up to the 70th anniversary of the korean war it's a very sensitive time they've used that it seems as the premise for taking this action over the weekend can you know john she is the include creasing the influential sister of kim jong un the leader of north korea gave a warning that this office which has become
2:03 pm
a symbol of into korean cooperation could be targeted saying it was now up to the military well this tuesday afternoon it seems the military carried through on the threat as we saw pictures here from south korean intelligence of this building being blown up it's being confirmed by north korean media very quickly and attacking what it calls the human scum that's the words it often uses for the south korean defectors and also attacking those who give them shelter meaning basically everybody in south korea saying that they were possibly bear the consequences of that from south korea there is also been a strong reaction the national security council meeting in seoul saying that north korea will bear all of the responsibilities of a rising from from this basically all the consequences of this action and warning them that it will give a strong response if the situation worsens now brian thank you. well that kelly is a professor at national university who specializes in the korean conflicts he
2:04 pm
explains why propaganda leaflets being used as an excuse as tensions rise the leafletting has been around for a good 20 years now at least made maybe even earlier than that right the north koreans have respond and they don't like it but they've never actually done this kind of stuff before and i think the real issue is probably that the americans are pushed the south korean government very hard not to cut a deal with north korea this south korean government is sort of the most dog on north korea in the history of south korea never before has south korea had a president who has bent over backwards for north korea to strike a deal as much as this current president jane yet because of the alliance with the americans moon has been very constrained in what he can do specifically on the rollback of sanctions and i think the north koreans are really frustrated after 3 years of this and i think that's why the rhetoric has gotten so much harsher this year so there were a couple of deals signed with the south koreans in the last couple of years and i think the north koreans are going to those they want really very substantial but i think the north koreans are going to sort of begin to roll those back as a way to signal their displeasure to south korean president jane when jane's got
2:05 pm
less than 2 years left in his presidency has really offered a great deal to the north koreans i think the north koreans see a window for some kind of deal which they thought was sort of wide open a couple years ago fading away and i think they're pushing hard to try to get moon in his last year and a half of the president to really make some kind of major concessions so yes i would imagine the north koreans will continue to provoke what is important understand that that one actually leads to a conflict right in the north koreans know that they would lose even at that point south korea alone they would lose certainly they fought the americans and the south koreans they would get crushed the north koreans will provoke what they want to actually allow things to escalate it's been out of control 3 indian soldiers have been killed during fighting with chinese troops on the border that happened in the disputed go on that the terror trail where it has to deescalate tensions all around the way the 2 countries have been locked in a standoff on the border for weeks elizabeth pradhan has this update from new delhi . so the indian army has confirmed that 3 of its members and some local

2:17 pm
since then iran has been scaling back some of its commitments on that deal turning to the europeans asking them to find a way around u.s. sanctions so that iranian economy can operate russia says that they are very much still in this deal and are backing iran on it but also what was discussed was the international atomic agency report that was leaked now secured lavrov said that the nique was outrageous and unacceptable and that leak was to western media he said and he said it seems like there's a pretext this is a pretext for some sort of onslaught against iran now that we poured the i.a.e.a.
