in that sense, the north korea today is not like the north korea of the past.sure, it's not collapsed or has not changed since the death, but we're only talking a few months. this new regime in north korea's only been in power for a few months, and in the broader scope of history, there's many regimes that lasted months, years before something major has happened in terms of change so i think that the verdict is still out on this. i don't think that we can simply assume that everything will go smoothly and they will be able to muddle through for because prior to the death of kim jung il, i would ask any expert, including you, scott, what's the most important variable to create major change in the country, and i think everyone would have agreed the sudden death of the north korean leader so i think we have to respect what we thought before, and i think we all have to watch what is going to happen because i think the future of this regime is not at all certain, and the ramifications if something happens is huge for the united states and for others in the region in

it's a sketch book on north korea. what were you looking to accomplish by writing the books and what sort of impacts do you hope? >> i'm glad you didn't say pound try. i wanted to write the book, when i left the government in 2007, i really had no desire to write a book about north korea. i'd been dealing with the issue for three years. involved in the negotiations, between everything, you know, really close up and i didn't have a desire to write it then. but five years later, in a situation that north korea was in, it seemed like an opportunity to write a little bit about my experiences there, a bit about the history, and about the u.s. policy to a more general audience, i think this is the sort of issue i think people don't know a lot about north korea and the history. they see headlines about international leaders and all the sorts of thicks. i thought it would be good to write a book that people could look to as sort of a expensive assessment -- comprehensive assessment, the history, the family, the economics, the

asean is a friendly audience for north korea. all ten asean members have formal diplomatic relations with the north. pyongyang took advantage of the stage. it was able to clear state its position regarding the nuclear issue and indicated it's open to holding talks with other countries. but the top priorities for north korea are rebuilding its economy and stabilizing the regime of kim jong-un. >> turning to the south china sea issue, what developments have emerged regarding disputes over sovereignty there. >> on the eve of the national forum, asean countries and china agreed in principle to start drawing up a legally binding code of conduct and china remains cautious. it doesn't want to sign on to anything that would limit activities. at thursday's meeting the united states strongly pushed all countries involved to accelerate work on the code of conduct. concerns remain that china may try to prolong the discussions and make the rules ineffective. but for now, u.s. pressure seems to have worked by pushing asean to move forward and

the north koreans that no one there. so also we have instructions before kim jong il. passed away he gave instructions to king joe basically to do as much business with china and russia as possible and we see just before can go away on his trip to egypt and it is in the eastern shore i don't know if that's what i understand and i think it's fair to say ok understandably the you know that his father would say or do as much business as a kind with russia and china but let's talk more about these reforms because i mean it certainly is unusual to hear this kind of action taking place in north korea his kim jong un talking about reform you mentioned a moment ago some goals being seen wearing miniskirts and i mean certainly perhaps even the international community could look at this and go well you know what not was a time of transition and change in north korea could it continue to transform and frankly if it did if it does how would the international community perhaps change its position when looking at north korea. well you still really pretty sure to sort of need to make

the real problem actually is the north of the city the security of these two countries this situation actually the been doing each other on their relations with each other now with this. economic situation that is happening in both countries it's basically the result of their failure to agree on a fair charge for transporting south sudan's or you through the north and eventually south sudan decided to shut down oil production altogether in response to what they claimed you know is stealing of their oil by by the northern government so what i'm saying is. actually you can't really talk about the situation into hours or so i was so down for example in isolation from the situation in north sudan so what i'm saying in south sudan people would still sympathize with south sudan because it is just i think that's a very interesting way of characterizing that you know i think you're oh you're right up show if i could go to back to detroit here i mean this is a perfect storm for those who don't like the regime in khartoum because you you get a provocation these poor people in the south they've
