1:02 am
sweden and the people's republic of china for their assistance and facilitating that transfer. he is now on his way to the united states and we expect him drive in the coming hours. let's get them on this with the dw is to now to my new on the, in washington dc. so to know what all the details do we have from the us administration on this? well, we know that it was an overnight release or early wednesday morning. we were told that travis king was in good health and in good spirits. and as in that sound bite that you played, we know that the u. s. government is expressing a gratitude to the governments of sweden and china for their role and helping to facilitate the release of travis king. now we don't know who did what exactly what we know that sweden would have played a major role in negotiations because it does traditionally negotiate on behalf of the us because the u. s. and north korea don't have diplomatic relations. we know

that there is no us embassy in killing. yeah, we have also heard that it was sweet. and who told travis, who told us that travis king was about to be reported and that this uh set off a flurry of a diplomatic activity. now, china for its part did not play a mediating role, but we know that it shares a land border with north korea and close ties. this was where travis king was released to and where us officials were waiting to receive him. and now as he said, we know that he is on his way to a medical facility in an army installation in texas where he is expected tonight. so also upon arrival. what then happens next for travis king? what's the process? or you know that it's not very clear in part because we don't know why he went to north korea. we don't know if you'll be treated as
1:04 am
a defect or if we back up a bit and look at his story. we remember that he was in south korea with his unit, but then he was detained for 2 months on a salt charger's. he was released on july 10, but then a week later he was set to go back to the west. but he managed to evade his guards and instead of boarding the plane to the u. s. so he decided to go on a tour of the demilitarized zone between north and south korea. and then he crossed the border to north korea. the military event declared him absent without leave, which means that he could face additional punishment like the forfeiture of his pay, like god, this honorable discharge. he could even face more time in military jail. whether he will also be punished for this separate action having crossed into north korea is also unclear. but us officials had been keen to stress that the priority at the moment remains and giving him medical and psychological aid and re uniting him with
1:05 am
