level talks since tokyo curbed imports from south korea this year that was in response to seoul's dumond's the compensation from japan for wartime forced labor correspondent robert bride is live for us now in seoul rob how is this visit being seen over there and is it significant that prime minister was sent rather than president reagan i believe he is a fluent japanese speaker. that's right and yes certainly an opportune time using lee's presence in japan he was there attending the and thrown at this week of japan's emperor but as you mentioned there he is a fluent japanese speaker is a former newspaper journalist who was based in tokyo has very good connections with many in political circles in japan and in fact knows shinzo are both so it was said to be a good meeting or went on for 20 minutes instead of the scheduled 10 minutes as you mentioned there the 2 prime ministers have agreed that they should try to repair by the lateral ties more importantly perhaps lee was carrying with him a letter from prior the president of south korea to shinzo are they talking about japan's importance as

yes elections is something that the protesters want but the protesters dumond's all that they have now there is an interim government cabinet made up of technocrats individuals who are not linked to any of the political parties of course the protesters have been calling also for a change in the city and it's the system here principle system that has been in grave here for decades these are huge challenges huge jobs so what they want is a government interim government of technocrats independent people until new elections are going to be called is that going to happen we don't know certainly at the moment we heard from the prime minister he's heading to the palace to tender his resignation to the president then we're going to have to wait and see what is going to happen next with those going to be addressed or whether or and again this is going to take time but we're talking weeks and weeks down the line potentially this is not going to happen tomorrow what is going to happen on the street earlier today we were hearing reports that the protesters were going to regain their momentum in re

business interests in this country who run large parts of the sectors of this country i think the dumond's are ambitious i think they're going to be very difficult to search i think this is a 1st step and again we're going to have to wait and see how the streets responded also now politically there is a political crisis here nothing has been resolved how that is going to. forward who's going to blink 1st if you will because the politicians among each other also have issues so i think very uncertain times ahead and as you heard dana say there are also potentially dangerous times because as you saw today a crowd of men coming to the streets affiliated people were saved with hezbollah and you can see this as political divisions as well that are trying to stir up trouble what we saw today was limited no weapons were used it was sticks it was stones thrown it was ripping down 10 things can be kept things can become far more ugly here in lebanon ok stephanie decker thank you for that wrap up from beirut so let's speak to mark though he's a professor of communications at the american university o
