know the details because neither of the sites have published this agreement. yet, we've heard from kim john cornyn, who said that this new agreement is now elevated, the relations between both countries to an alliance. if you put it but loving and putting a sound at the been a bit more nuanced on this. she said that the agreement provides quote, for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties. now, this is, this really depends on how these 2 countries define mutual assistance. and these documents. does this mean troops, material, or humanitarian aid? this is something you will be have. we will have to wait for a to, to know and, and so. so this really is possible that this new agreement is either an upgrade to the relationship, or it can be a formalization of what is already happening, which is this, this military technological cooperation between russia and north korea, against the box of, of russia's aggression against you. great, let's talk more about that. is it clear where this agreement leaves things regarding ukraine as well? we knew that

kim john offered a warm welcome, rolling out the red carpet and greeting vladimir, put in personal am young, young airport. the fact may not be as comfortable as your own home in your own country, but since it is a prospect to a residence, i hope you will feel at home and rest comfortably. thank you very much for your hospitality and your time. the . we discussed to the russian president stripped to the dpr k and the close attention the west has given it with our correspond that steve sweeney in the us. a sound to the alarm and said the western countries should be extremely concerned about the growing and deepening of relations between the 2 nations, the us secretary of state, and the blinking has a game found to be alone. he's accused russia of desperation. he said that it's seeking support for what he describes as is war of aggression in ukraine. bleeding can use to have the, the kind of the boat define of ron. he mentioned the d p r k. and he said that he's keen to cut off the support. that's a countries like iran on the d, p r k, a providing to russia, russia try in desperation to

think if you are i mean, i think if you are demonstrating that you are close friend, ally, with kim johne. we have shown that he isn't completely isolated. that is for sure. —— kimjong—un. isn't isolated. that is for sure. —— kim jong—un. isn't completely isolated particularly in the global south. we even saw that at this conference over the weekend. i think it was noticeable that three attendees, nds, south africa didn't sign on to the peace terms that were laid out. it is hard to isolate a major power is what this demonstrates. so even though he is unable to travel to many countries, it is difficult to fully isolate a great power, that is the reality. as we have been reporting for some weeks, the warren ukraine is a precarious point. in the east, russian troops have been making advances on kharkiv. president zelensky has been clear that the army needs to desperately enlist more and pushed russia back. tougher measures are being employed to capture men who are dodging conscription. there are stories about people being pulled from buses or buyers to investment centres. this report from t

in, flew to vietnam directly after wrapping up eventful visit to the dpr k, north korean leader kim john wooten. so on this, you put your 1st name on what was driven to the airport in a russian mood, iris and the missing of the visiting president gifted to the nation. during the trip, the 2 country signed a new partnership agreements which includes a mutual assistance clause. the russian leader expanded all, i'm not saying it entails a commitment to defend each other should either come under threat pm. young young has the right to take reasonable measures to strengthen its own defense capability and show a national security and protected southern piece of it. each of the comprehensive partnership agreements signed today also provides for the provision of mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the parties to this document is think of it the i would like to draw your attention to statements by the united states and other nato countries about the supply of high precision, long range weapon systems, f. 16 aircraft, and other high tech weapons and equipment for striking r

essentially, both a russian president vladimir putin and kim, john said that they signed a comprehensive agreement on strategic partnership. and what they said more specifically is that this is an agreement of mutual aid. and as in the event of aggression by a foreign power, i mean, this is basically very close to what my one might call an, an alliance. and this is a, you know, something that would give russia up. it's mentally the ability to formalize any sort of, uh, uh, military support that north korea, the dpr k is able to give russia and ukraine conflict. i mean, the, the, the russian president said that both russia and the dpr take, they have very similar situations in the world stage right now. both countries are facing an onslaught of western sanctions. especially both countries are in conflict with the west rushes fighting, a conflict in ukraine and the korean war and the on the peninsula has never officially really ended there still thousands of us soldiers in south korea. something of course, the dpr k itself is not happy about so this agreement is really based on, according

potent is putting down in pyongyang for a day of negotiation, document signing and even music with kim john was also add on the program china, luscious art at the u. s. for sending officials to engage with tibetan spiritual leader, the deadline, lama probation considers a separate this.

similar language, it does not attract the same kind of headlines, trust, constant. sucking not to kim john. the north koreans murderous dictator isn't working out for the united states as they were critical of trump on foreign policy, but have repeatedly come up short with a few exceptions when scrutinizing the bite and administration central role in the army is really genocide of war on gods and those outlets are well aware. the jo biden's age is an issue for voters who have been tell by posters bad for years. yet they kept down playing the story. what those news organizations cannot control or limit is the traction. this story gets on social media with younger americans. all of those videos of bite and acting is a search for many young people who get their news on twitter, instagram, tick tock. they might be getting a different view then what older people see on network news or on the new york times, and tick tock instagram. twitter can be a bit more democratizing that certain things that don't get covered in, in bigger outlets make it through. and some dr. things misinformation absolute

mentally discussion happening right off at the plane because lot of our put and i believe at all for kim john luna ride in the or us at presidential at car. um there was a little bit of improvement where both of them at where stopped off the car and a lot of each other to get in 1st and either of them and wanted to do that mothers make of them on as they say. so the russian president went run the other side on good, and at the same time, us came strongly into the car unless that company, by under the escort of motorcyclists at to the capital at p on young as you can see, there are a lot of discussions right off the plane as well. usually when you get off the planet straight into the car, the discussion topic item is a camera. so it's a, it's been a long time in the coming there. so a lot to discuss for the, at, to, at leaders at, by the way, kim jong, who mets at west and russian officials in the last 7 and 2013 as opposed to actually causing the problem. and you may recall history at to, russia's far east in september of following up visit russian foreign minister circular prop said relation

the wednesday morning, mocking his bus trip there in $24.00, we use kim john going off with a will well come rolling out the red carpet and greetings. lots of my peers and personally up strong young apples of the size may not be as comfortable as your own home in your own country, but since it is a prospect to a residence, i hope you will feel at home and rest comfortably. thank you very much. for your hospitality and your time the we discussed the russian presidents trip to the p. okay. and the close attention the west has given it for the correspondence div sweeney in the us, a sound of the alarm and said the western countries should be extremely concerned about the growing and deepening of relations between the 2 nations. the us secretary of state, honestly, clinton has a game sound to be alone. he's accused russia of desperation. he said that it seeking support for what he describes as is war of aggression in ukraine. clinton used to be the kind of the bogeyman of iran. he mentions the dpr k, and he said that he's keen to cut off the support that countries like iran on the t p r k.

and kim, john signed a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement that featured information for and i quote for military and other assistance in case of aggression against either nation or to correspond a double quarter in hanoi. it takes us through some of them are pollutants. comments are here today now the main subject to that was probably one of the most important ones during this question and answer regarding the agreement, the new agreement on strategic cooperation that vladimir putin assigned with the leader of the d p r k. came john own because it had a, it has a clause there that says that in the event of aggression against one of the signatories, the other signatory is to enter into is to step in militarily, to defend and help that, that other countries. so this is a serious step of course of let him are put in said that the moscow was not ruling out the potential of sending weapons to the dpr k. on the basis of this new agreement to the eclipse, the thought of those who supply these weapons believe they are not at war with us. i said that we then reserve the right to supp

this is what we heard talked about mainly at this press conference with vladimir putin and kim john. both leaders mentioned that they had signed a comprehensive agreement on strategic partnership, which essentially when they expanded on what, what this actually entails. it sounds a lot like an alliance. it means that both a signatories of this agreement are basically going to come to the others, aid in the case of aggression by a foreign force, or at least supply them with uh, with military technology. so this is a real huge step forward for relations between russia and the dpr k. and it has to do with the fact that both countries are in a very similar position with respect to the west. as the russian president vladimir putin pointed out, that both sanction of both countries are under serious sanctions from the west. and they're essentially both in conflict with the west as well. russia fighting the ukraine, conflicts, finding the key ever seen that's mainly supplied and heavily weaponized by the west . while the korean war on the korean peninsula really has never ended, either, ther

kim, john boone offered a warm welcome, rolling out the red carpet and reading vladimir putting personally that young young airport. the size may not be as comfortable as your own home in your own country, but since it is a prospect to a residence, i hope you will feel at home and rest comfortably. thank you very much for your hospitality and your time. the ok. all right, well joining me now in the studio is ortiz, steve sweeney. so steve was even saying quite a warm welcome there in the dpr k for the russian president. so i'm sure the west has taken note, or yes, this is a huge the significant visit. it's russian president vladimir, put his 1st trip to p on young in the call to of a century. it's a very high level delegation, joining him on the trip for him. and it says that a lever of a defense minister by the use of their also the house minister is that the ro, ways minister on representatives for them. the space agency role is cause most which really underlines the seriousness of this visit. now we've seen the red carpet road out for a lot of me to put in here. arrived in the early hou

my point is this was less about kim john moon. this was less about p on yang. this is less about signing that in, i guess, important decree, bass time. this is more about message sending on the part of vladimir put in the kremlin and rush out to the world that says to who can play at this game. and i think that's kind of where we are right now. probably. but by the way, you're up is punishing china now to with a crazy tariff. i don't know if you've heard about this, but so it's about 40 percent on their newly designed electric cars. so china is making these eaves right. the e u is telling the chinese no way are you allowed to ship your cars into europe with without us putting some crazy tariff on it. so what i'm trying 40 percent, that's almost half right. so now the china seems to be saying ok to can play that game as well. so basically, i'm just considering hitting europe with a tariff all of their own. a tariff on pork products. china gets half of its pork products from europe, especially spain. that would hurt farmers and other small businesses. here's the
