10:05 am
a very sincere apology according to the presidential office here in south korea this apology has come personally from kim jong un saying how sorry he is to have disappointed moon j.n. the president of south korea talking about this unsavory case and putting in place measures to prevent a similar occurrence and the north says that it has apparently carried out its own investigation and has pretty much confirmed the details of what we know happened that apparently this was a south korean citizen on a some sort of floating object that came across to the northern side of this maritime border he was intercepted by this patrol boat and that north korean border guards fired a total of 10 rounds 10 shots at this individual it then says that the crew of this boat then set fire to the flow take floating material that this fortunate
10:06 am
individual had come across on as a preventative measure it seems against covert 19 now south korean officials as we know have said that the north koreans actually set fire to this man's body so there seems to be some dispute over that but at least this does seem to be a recognition that this did take place north korea was apologizing for it and it does seem to be a concerted effort by north korea to try to keep the door open to a better relations at some point in the future in south korea has this rather mysterious and strange event gone down what's been the reaction. there is still continuing anger here of course say yesterday thursday when the south korean defense officials revealed details of this it was described as a brutal incident there was can condemnation from the president's office also now the u.s. state department has also condemned this incident today friday is by coincidence
10:07 am
armed forces day here in south korea it is traditionally the president reviews displays of by the troops the military move in jail in the president has given a speech at this event where he has vowed to protect the safety of south koreans he is of course under an awful lot of pressure about his continuing policy of engagement with the north with opposition politicians here taking it seems some glee in really really using this to attack this process of conciliation with the north pointing to this incident saying how can you continue to try to give olive branches to north korea when they act in such a manner so this apology will come as a welcome relief probably to south korea and to the south korean government all right thanks for that report reporting from. senior republicans in the united states distance and distancing themselves from donald trump's refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses november's election they promised an
