its nuclear and missile programs have dramatically accelerated. alarming the u.s. and allies and triggering tough sanctions. but traveling around pyongyang, it doesn't look like a city crippled by those sanctions. under kim there's a building boom. this is pyongyang's highest revolving restaurant. and one of the surprising things about this city is how built up it's getting. there are new towers going up everywhere. the old ones have a fresh coat of paint. this is a changing skyline. so the question now is kim jong-un really chart ac new course for north korea or is this just the same nuclear gamesmanship this country's been playing for years? terry moran, abc news, pyongyang, north korea. we're learning that child sexual abuse by a former penn state assistant football coach goes back decades. the university now says its legal settlement with jerry sandusky's accusers cover alleged abuse dating back to 1971. last week a court filing surfaced claiming a boy told

3:18 am
