joan and reached no consensus that people who watched the two countries might say some real progress has already been made. we look at some other possible factors affecting the north's recent behavior. it is the a's since north and south korea held high level talks in the team from joan was the high street south korean president packer nate took off this. this is disgusting was the annual manage the trio shared joke between south korea and the us. before the talks north korea had offered to an alley unions of families separated by the koreans will it looks like this or that could become a sort of bargaining chip. the north across the self confessed in its treo. the south korean officials insisted the issue of nominees was unrelated and they turned down the north's request to put all the exercises. the talks

were held tool is a surprise the most jaded north korea raised tensions with south korea in the us by declaring its unilateral cancellation of the ceasefire agreement that ended the korean war they kept north korea last note that south korean president. the day did she get the necklace on and keep coming and when you sleep in his twenty ten men don't know what historical movie handling and i'm so excited and went out and cut them again. most of its north korean leader kim jones said in his new year's speech that his country must be prepared to improve relations with the snow. he said they should show a flexible policy and it can see a tree altitude. in the middle of last month north korean state media announced that the north and south should still have to keep bad mouthing each other out. all you guys how was it

looked well heeled screenings of a tingle. i will come up to monkey tumbled in handy but totally on its knees if she needed to empty out the candles on it now. it's hosted on all the time the data gets from the north and so may have failed to reach a breakthrough at the comedy show me tearing up baby has agreed to keep talking. earlier we talked to an expert in our soul studios about the north's possible strategy. kim couldn't shake it is a professor at cal non university and specializes in north korean politics and inter korean relations the lily didn't know the condone the regime established certain national development goals in two thousand thirteen. these suggest that north believes its security lies in its nuclear program. we did
