who is at the presidential residence in. so rob and there's a line expectation. this government is going to be very different to the more liberal one of one j in the, the previous 1. 1 of those areas we're likely to see differences in foreign policy . what are the big changes we might see? that's why that is going to be a big departure here in style from the administration. this integration here is just wrapped up held and spring sunshine. thousands of people attending here in the grounds of the national assembly listing to musical performances as witnessing the swearing in the by the new president, the 20th president of south korea and also listening to his inaugural address. but he is a conservative. we have just had 5 years of liberal administration here, which was bent to add that 5 years on trying to get better dialogue with north korea facilitated all of these summits with president trump with united states. well, there has going to be a change to that. the conservative you has said that he's going to take

a much tougher line with north korea and it does, does come of course, after we've seen these uptake in missile testing from the north, well, over a dozen missiles tested since the beginning of this year. more recently we've sold an icbm and intercontinental ballistic missile loans. the sort of missile we haven't seen loans is 2017. that was at the end of march. and then just this past weekend, a new type of submarine loads, ballistic missile. we seem to be north korea way of sending a message yet to president noon, but the units promised to take a tough a stand. he's also try to i. he said he will try to restore relations with ne, but japan, which has been strained in recent years, and also with the traditional ally of the united states us president joe biden is coming this way. so we are likely in the coming months and possibly years, especially with his conservative administration here, seeing a return to the kind of allegiances and alliances we had during the cold war of the last century,

with loosely aligned russia and china to some extent supporting north korea versus united states and it's too traditional allies here in northeast asia of japan and south korea. so that's in terms of foreign policy. but it's interesting, isn't it, that president units already coming in. we've some control overseas with regard to his domestic policies as well. that's right, i mean that controversy and politics and have a far apart in south korea, but he does have the dubious distinction president, you'd have this being de won't of his presidency effectively. and he already comes with a whole bunch of baggage and he is quite a controversial character. he was a former prosecutor working for the government. he was only best known before, standing for election as the prosecutor who prosecuted park, hey the former president who was impeached and then spent time in prison for corruption. during his campaign, he, along with his liberal opponents,

were both noted for the popularity it seemed as though the more unpopular of that of the, of the 2 was going to lose. so he wasn't to come again with very popular domestic policies. some speculation is having to change that there is an ongoing route here about the shifting of his office from the traditional blue house residency of the south korean presidency to a new location which is causing all sorts of traffic problems. it's all causing allegations that he is moving to government departments around the las lease. so he actually comes in quite the unique position of being more unpopular than the man he's replacing signs in the south. korea is facing some very interesting times in the coming years. thank you very much indeed. welcome bright in sol. well, a fight between rival gangs at a prison in ecuador has left at least $44.00 inmates dead and dozens more on the run. a violence broke out after a gang leader was transferred to the bella, vista jail and santo domingo. alessandra was, i'm petty,
