the area is called the dmz with the help of some u.s.arranged to get a trip into the area that still separates the korean peninsula now welcome to the demilitarized zone, 160 miles long, 2 miles wide it was created in 1953 intersects that famous 38th parallel north and divides korea roughly in half. all that you see over there. there are villages and people who live in the dmz, both on the north and south korean side. occasionally you'll hear loud speaker propaganda from areas like the north korean propaganda village, they call it. there are residents on the south korean side with all kinds of special rules. curfews from midnight to sunrise. not taxed. any rice that they grow is bought and distributed as dmz rice so here we are we're inside what they call the joint security area. it is the zone within the dmz that for years allowed the north and south koreans to interact under the terms of the armistice that was signed in 1953. what you're looking at here are the south korean soldiers with their backs to us but facing the north korean si

, we have seen a stepped-up campaign of violence against south korea and the american troops in the dmzms south korea to sabotage and to assassinate. on this very day, january 19, a 31-man team of north koreans raiders invaded seoul. although it failed, their mission was to murder the president of the republic of korea. the president first received word slightly after 2:00 in the morning, january 23. within hours, morning newspapers would carry the headlines that would stun and then deeply anger americans across the country. pres. johnson: this week, the north koreans committed another and aggressive act by seizing an american ship and its crew in international waters. narrator: in this room of the white house, the president and his senior advisers briefed bipartisan members of the foreign affairs committees. the congressional leaders were informed that an immediate protest had been made to north korea, but the response had been cynical and a distortion of the facts. the national security council explored various alternatives. one thing was certain, as the president and the secretary st

north korean team coming to the olympics and somehow or other they got one mine open again across the dmzhey all walked in together at the opening ceremony and of course, we have this high level political group here represent a north korean workers party but this historic meeting today, between kim jong—un‘s sister and the south korean minister resulted in this invitation from the north delivered by his sister for the south korean president to come to pyongyang. these events are moving so fast. like i say, a few months ago, there was barely any communication between cue correias. —— the two koreas. now there might be a meeting in pyongyang. i don't know how this will go down in washington because the trap of the station has not been keen —— trump administration has not been keen on dialogue in the north, mike pence at the north is not ready to be rewarded with that. somehow or other, south korea has to tackle its relationship with its key ally and its nearest nuclear armed neighbour. it's a sign that some sort of dialogue is a way to go. it is an enormous significant event unfolding at th
