are now to josh smith he is a correspondent in the south korean capital seoul so josh as we mentioned these reunions taking place how are they progressing. a number of south korean families have crossed over into north korea as you mentioned and some of the first time a dream of course that we've seen coming out of there have been very emotional reunions. you know family members who have been divided for years for the for the first time sometimes being at a loss for words people that we've spoken to in the past who have been involved in these have described the range of emotions from awkward encounters the people who they barely know to quite a bit of trauma as they have to leave those people behind me never to talk to them again and you can really just see it there in the amatory of that those initial images that we're having coming through these reunions we also have to mention on the diplomatic front they're part of the stop between the two koreas what is the state of affairs in this process. this was seen as a. way for the two koreas to show their good face and to work together it

of course over now to josh smith he is a reuters correspondent in the south korean capital seoul welcome to you josh how exactly are these reunions playing out. so the koreans from both sides who will be involved in this have about three days meetings. with which to reacquaint themselves with their relatives during those three days however they will only have about eleven hours total of several rounds of meetings face to face with their relatives people who we spoke to who have participated in the past described obviously a wide range of emotion obviously a lot of excitement but also worry sometimes awkward encounters with people who they may have not seen since they were small children and then of course there's the additional trauma of walking away from those meetings not knowing if you will ever see them as people again and these are unions they're part of the fall between relations between the two koreas what is the state of affairs in this process as you mentioned this is something the two sides have agreed on as part of a broader effort to achieve enter korean reconciliation and re
