it's a great diplomatic breakthrough the press is expecting but the beginning of something or is it all going to come back to being enemies now that games are over well it depends on whether north korea has intention to denuclearize if they have if enfold is. things are just to maintain as a means of retaining their nuclear capabilities with the goal back to where we were before the olympics or we could be worse off so it all depends on those korea's genuine intention while pee on yon apparently wants to talk to the united states united states says it's open to talks with north korea but nobody wants to go first what is so role in this who blinks first game well. a low is important to figure out what most korea's intention is but.

love itself doesn't resolve the problem unless north korea. is willing to abandon his nuclear programs missile programs as well so tall the ten u.s. and those korea. could be even worse if north korea has no intention to denuclearize because any talks which. you know wish doesn't lead to denuclearize asian or in which no script confirms is intention not to do to denuclearize under any circumstances that could strengthen the hand of those in washington. who i have okayed a military option so. if nothing comes out of the talks beaten in the north or between north korea and the us.

i think. you know it makes it it will. become those who. look for diplomatic solution and the tall scan confirmed that diplomacy is useless if north korea has no intention to diena cries north korea has warned both south korea and us against a resumption of annual military drills the two countries hold near the north korean borders my understanding is that they will go hadis planes now will the drills i'm knol all the progress made between the two koreas at the olympics well i'm i'm not sure where those korea has always been opposed to. joint military drills i don't know how do you from they are this year. if they are desperate. to.

reduce any pressure for. sanctions and military option which stand in the way of their ultimate call of nuclear armament then i think. military drills can be only a temporary. to us in the road to into korean. dialogue even at the summit level. president moon was invited to visit the north and he replied to the invitation by saying that the two sides should create the right circumstances to make it happen what would the right circumstances be here well i think it's important to noam. before hand will kind of outcome will be produced by the summit because a summit could be worse than no summit if it doesn't produce anything or it only

confirms if it only confirms that north korea has no intention to abandon its nuclear and missile programs under any circumstances as a set that will only. in the lead to it will only justify military option against north korea so there could be. more dangerous than no summit at all so i think he will he may wish to go to a pillion. with a reasonable chance of producing a positive outcome that would lead to. stronger peace rather than to work yet but where would he get the guarantees that the outcome with will be positive i mean when you're going to those kind of talks it's always you know a game of you never know what's going to happen you take a chance you take a risk yeah if the chance is to take a chance is very dangerous this time because it's not just. try.

and odessey it if it doesn't produce anything because no positive outcome will i wouldn't say it didn't guarantee but it will as i said strengthen the arguments for military option and it will. press t v can those who believe in a peaceful diplomatic solution so this very dangerous so i think through preliminary talks between the south and north. present one will have to find out how how interesting north korea would be what would be the chance to produce. positive outcome from the meeting otherwise i think he should be very careful in falling into into the trap of those who are looking for a military option north korea is accusing united states of aiming to and the

potential thought between the two koreas and us has been accusing seeking to drive a wedge between civil and washington now you rely on the us militarily and you seek peace with the north how does so well plan a maneuver in this blame game well i don't think anybody is interested in the illusion of a piece of false peace a bubble of a peace you know ten thousand that's not the same thing as a real peace so what's going on is only producing. bubble delusional fears it doesn't have any million unless it leads to real peace which can be. no guaranteed only by those christina presentation so the process is one thing process of toffs. and the

appearance of peace is one thing but what we need us and the republic oriya what they need is real peace a peace which is based on denuclearization so i think much will depend on how all these talks will lead to progress in denuclearization or north korea's commitment to democracy and it all costs. serious talks without. north korea's commitment to to nuke radiation will go nowhere and will be worse off in the end now during the olympics present moon was a charmer and true the north koreans while mike pants north them on purpose saying the sun's a mass age that north korea has to abandon its nuclear weapons do you think that was wise in his pond i mean did he miss an opportunity for an informal talk or a preliminary talk like you put it well my understanding is that. if i was

president the parents was a willing to sit down with north korean delegation in a meeting about north koreans refused to talk to the americans you know just before the scheduled meeting so. what the way vice president the parents behaved at the opening ceremony i think it was intended to. to neutralize effect of charm offensive that north korea was. doing in the olympics so i see nothing wrong with the present tense is. added to that there. but i'm better at that was actually in response of vice president pants ignoring and snubbing the north koreans during the olympics

we've done no we've noticed the speculation there's a speculation but i think for most korea. in might have been better i think of a smart decision to not to talk to the americans because if they are not. ready to commit to denuclearization meeting with the american this very dangerous because that will confirm if that confirms it. that most korea has no interest in the new craze asian and those who still believe in diplomacy will become the biggest losers in washington so i don't think north korea is ready to accept or to nuke radiation at this point and even if the meeting took place i don't believe it could have produced any positive result it could have been. it's more likely it was more likely to produce a contest trophy rather than

a positive result so in that regard i think. whatever the reason most korea was a smart. to in some ways to refuse to sit down with the american vice president if they were not ready. to to accept. as a principle but ambassador united states demands of north korea very trusting saying a complete abandonment of nuclear weapons do you think this all or nothing approach will work well it should be made to work and the denuclearization doesn't mean anything if it is not complete if we allow north korea to keep. a part of the nuclear arsenal for a republic for japan. for those who live in this region. so same threat from most career it doesn't make much difference so it's not the new

craze asian and digital cries asian is meaningless unless it is complete all right ambassador we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to chong yelawolf former national security advisor to the president of south korea discussing prospects of peace on the korean peninsula after the olympic games are over stay with us.

apply for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killed in a loneliness and spending to the twenty million why. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance for the. still in the high very materially of a bottle saudi in china six oyur. area . an estimated eighteen feral since under-age refugees are now living in greece.

to do at home in the euro food drink. and many sell their bodies just to make ends meet. in the second or the almost since in that there's a couple of says in london this could. all serious threats of dealing drugs to make a living. in the certain knowledge and love of words in the real. name of the thing for. me. to. put a trick question. now

we're back with john young wolf former national security advisor to the president of south korea discussing they saw in the enter a korean relation and whether it's going to last a bastard or your main thesis seem to be the north korea needs to nuclearize completely and immediately well i recently spoke to us former secretary of defense william perry who went on a historic was it to pyongyang in ninety nine and his diplomacy almost resulted in a deal back then but it fell apart soon afterwards well he told me it's now too late to make north korea get rid of their nuclear weapons and maybe it's time to recognize a new. nuclear north korea and just live with it. well in my view of

this ferry irresponsible of if he really said that i think it's very irresponsible . of him. whoa we know that north korea attaches great importance highest importance to nuclear armament and the only thing a very few more than nuclear weapons is their survival so i would admit that is more difficult to denuclearize most criminal then when bill perry was a special envoy or defense secretary yes there is no doubt about the last korea is far more diverse in their nuclear development down at the time. and that's why we need greater stronger pressure on north korea so enough pressure to shake up their resume stability alone

will be able to convince north korea that. giving up nuclear ambitions nuclear programs is better than. moving forward there with their nuclear programs well talk about pressure for years china has been supporting the north koreans despite the hostile opinion of the world powers now its border with the north is getting tighter it has implemented the new tough international sanctions does china not want to back north korea anymore. well i think it will be. useless to rely on china as a voluntary cooperation because china wants to seeing two things those prison resume stability. and denuclearization which i mused surely destructive they cannot go together so as long as most of us china ones to new

causation only to the to the extent that it doesn't the pressure doesn't destabilize north korea will never succeed so even though china is more cooperative the end before the sanctions that china has agreed to will not make a fundamental difference in north korea's strategic take from us that will love to north korea's strategic decision to denuclearize we're doing need these kind of sanctions that will be tantamount to total economic blockade on most korea they can really strangle north korea into economic. disaster otherwise i see no reason why north korea will agree to it in a crisis so it takes it takes greater effort on the part of us to change china's policy not just rely on china's following through cooperation u.s. alone has the means to pressure china into changing its policy toward north korea

to attach higher priority on denuclearization than regime stability. commits have international trade sanctions create a dangerous situation inside the north cause a political crisis there i don't think the current sanctions will create any political crisis in north korea they can be or they could they have no create difficulties in bearable difficulties in sustaining the current level of sanctions what they are afraid of is a tougher sanctions a total economic blockade. which may be coming in the months and months ahead so the reason they tried to embrace the cells south korea is to avoid to common sense is to take a stim out of tougher sanctions and to avoid military option from the u.s. . so the north koreans usually want to get something before they get to the table

food relief for sanctions easing or financial aid trade agreements is there a danger of the north playing this game again getting something it wants and then styling the talks and using the north seriously want some progress to be made though if we. as a as a reward for their return to negotiations if we decide or us are ok decide to give them to ease on the existence sanctions instead of. toughening the sanctions that will. kill the chance of any progress in the in a crisis. he said that sanctions will pressure north korea into denuclearization but tough sanctions have been there forever and here we are pyongyang on has nuclear weapons despite them how are you sure that more sanctions will actually

work well i i don't agree with you that have been that there have been tough sanctions all the time they have never been sanctions tough enough to change north korea's strategic calculus thus far there have been a lot of. talk about sanctions more real sense of step north korea. was would be worried about. only recently after their six nuclear test security council has decided to adopt sensuous that. can really by. the current sanctions are not going to change anything there should be far tougher sanctions in place to change north korea's policy north korea's calculus. you know joe i don't i don't i lose shared

a myth that there were sanctions all the time yes there were sanctions nominal sanctions. list sentence yes but not the kind of sanctions that are necessary to pressure north korea into denuclearization that there have never been this kind of sanctions and there's been a push by russia and china for a so-called freeze for freeze agreement where the u.s. halts the drills in return for pyongyang halting nuclear activities do you feel this is a possibility i mean will the south koreans agree with that i don't think it makes sense it does not sense because i don't think the what is what is the legal those koreas. retaining north korea's nuclear armament is banned by security council resolution is illegal under international law military drills have been there all the time even before north korea begin nuclear development and

they are defensive and i look and these are not illegal. so most korea is conducting military drills all the time also so i don't think. there is a moral equivalence between one last crazed doing and what us and our ok are doing together or international community as a whole are doing together another reason is that. freeze. freeze means to allow them to keep what they have already built up in nuclear arsenal and if they have no nuclear arsenal freezes means at least postponing the time they could develop nuclear weapons but they have enough nuclear weapons now to destroy peace in this region and i think only

for is if it stands there for her own would be tantamount to. legitimizing those chris nuclear armament you have a i mean your stance. makes sense in a way but it's very tough stance was that sort of approach of course north korea by association is very not all that whole lot let me finish my question but was that harsh approach don't you think that the north korea will be pushed into a corner where it will be able to actually fight back even harder well it depends on how hard how hard a sanctions prove to be if the sanctions are tough enough to create real. tangible eases tension problems from north korea i think consume is think twice his very smart kid knows how to accept. manageable risks and how to avoid and hedge the bets so

if. the sanctions become tough enough and comprehensive enough to really fight north korea. strangle north korea into economic collapse. i think he will be more interested in. this full denuclearization then. the team eyes of his regime the present moon is a strong proponent of the two careers reunification but isn't what his nation really wants i mean i have a survey from the korean state for national unification which us that war than seventy one percent of young south koreans opposed the idea also protesters birt they were unification flag and opposed to so-called illusion of peace at the olympics. well i think i'm not sure whether the president really wants unification

at this point i think he's more interested in peace through denuclearization at this point reunification is a distant dream and it's not something that ordinary people fill in the skin. pot when the moment comes i think people think harder on your vacation but. full time being i think the new cries asian and reducing those queers capability to destroy peace on the korean peninsula. comes before. cation. and that's i think what most korean people will prefer as well right ambassador thank you very much for this interview on inside we're talking to. former national security advisor to the president of south korea about the ways out of the nuclear crisis on the korean peninsula that's it for this edition of something called see you next time.

if. someone else chose seemed wrong all right old rules just don't hold. me to get to shape out of this thing becomes the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one difference has to be ten out because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

fifty years ago breaking and within two cons are gone as a sleeping pill the dust is what i believe goes like truth does share this thought the side effects were terrible but not all known as short induction for boardwalk more bolivian not war. will come up across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in software in two ways first will the physical damage itself but as well that the constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been bought the justice and those being the couple. hey everybody i'm stephen bob gosh what a task hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and our view to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru as

well just a little bit different i doubt if they. well you know when those up with all the drama happening in our country i'm rude have fun meet everyday americans. and we start to bridge the gap this is the great american to. meet. up. in.

the headlines an r.t. russia's foreign ministry says that this information campaign has been started in the media reports in the alleged chemical attack in syria's eastern greta designed simply to slander the assad government. also to come this hour the winter olympics come to a close in south korea we speak to russia's figure skating golden girl i mean as the games have about their achievement at the get. some good news this is a take at least it actually there were no tears at all i think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realize what i have achieved. with asylum seekers in greece struggling to find shelters and job some are resorting to drug dealing impulse to change she says to make ends meet what have firsthand accounts of that.
