kenneth bay, who also has been there a year, longer than anybody else.hem as bargaining chips. in this case we don't know what they want. they rejected an american envoy who was on his way over there. it was negotiated they were going to get him out and the north koreans said stay back. this is a new regime, the new leader there. i knew the old leaders. but now, everything's a big question mark. >> and you know, the state media in north korea released this video of merrill newman. his hands shaking. >> on this trip i can understand that in u.s. and western countries, there is misleading information and propaganda about pprk. >> obviously, it's something written by them that he is reading out. >> it would be interesting to hear, governor, what you have to say the fact that he has read out an apology. the last time this kind of thing happened, the person was released fairly quickly thereafter. but you say and you are all amazed he is a veteran and has been treated like this. to me there is no peace with north korea and one of his command leaders said they

kenneth bay has been detained for a year. and now we have this korean war veteran who has been detained. and it seems very, very bizarre. >> what might you be able to do about it. you went over in january to get kenneth bay released and you were not allowed to meet with him. would you consider going over to help merrill? only if the family of merrill newman asked me. i think the state department is handling this well. i think the north koreans are holding us to the bargaining chips. i think the best thing to do is see what the north koreans do. at the same time, i think new channels need to be opened. i would get korean war veteran's groups to be active and get him out. kenneth bay, also the squewedes maybe a special envoy. the relationship right now is not strong and not good. the chinese may try to help us. but i don't count on it right now with the issues in the high seas. >> maybe you will get an invitation you were successful in bringing 7 remains back in 2007 of war veterans. i have to go but thank you so much for your

but kenneth bay is a missionary teaching christianity. and that is a crime. he has a sentence of 15 years in prison. >> 15 years. we'll continue to follow that story, and we'll keep an eye open for when mr. as mrs. newman arrived home. >>> turning to afghanistan. the security agreement between the two countries will be signed in a timely fashion. hagel arrived in afghanistan this morning. afghan president hamid karzai threw a wrench in the negotiations when he said that he would not sign the agreement until after elections in spring of 2014. >> hassan rouhani described the pursuit of nuclear technology as a definite right, and said that iran has a right to live without sanctions. >>> demonstrators of ukraine are back on the street after reports of a meeting between its president and the russian president vladimir putin. the meetings sparked fears that ukraine would agree to deals with the russians rather than the european union. >> there are reports that there have been deals signed with russia worth $174 million of aid. ukraine needs this money simply to pay

we have not heard anything from kenneth bay, another american seized. sadly and unfortunately, there is a history here of americans who ended up being captured and imprisoned. sometimes they are missionaries folks who wander over the border. this was the most surprising of all to have someone on a legitimate tourist tour in a group then being snatched off the plane at the last minute. that was what was strange about this. also at a time when frankly north korea has been signalling that they want to have better relations and been on a peace offensive. in contrast you remember jonathan that the first half of the year we had the missile test. i must say it's a bunch of confusion for folks analysing north korean behaviour. >> why do you think north korea targeted mr newman especially since you mentioned other americans go to that countsry and leave without problems. >> without any problem at all, including korean war veterans. number one the answer is i don't know. it's my professional obligation to say that. north korea is the least understood country in t

kenneth bay has been incarcerated for a year. it's bizarre. you recall you visited north korea with me at a time when the north korean military turned over remains of american soldiers fighting in the korean war as a gesture of friendship, yet they are turning against a korean war veteran. it seems no one is in charge. it's very bizarre what's happening. you can't predict what's happening next. hopefully it will mean a release. a confession usually follows some kind of pardon. in this case with this new young leader, it's uncertain where they are going to go next. >> one complicating factor, is it not, his war record apparently did involve training partisans. that has at least been one of the issues the north koreans are now pointing to, he had this role in the war that was not straight combat role. he was working mostly covertly. >> that seems like an excuse. i think we have seen areas of cooperation in the last 15 years. it's between the north korean military and american military and the recovery of remains. so what somebody did 60 years ag

now, clearly neither his case nor that of kenneth bay are likely to be helped best the ongoing politicalfighting in north korea. listen to gordon chang again. >> it's clear that the political sensitivities in pyongyang have been heightened. nobody is going to want to make that decision because that decision can be criticized and and when people are being executed, everybody plays it safe. >> so as long as this fighting go on, the agony is likely to go on for the families. >> and longer term, how do we deal with this dictator? we really don't know him yet. >> the problem is here, simply, the unpredictability. there's political infighting that makes everybody grab for power wherever they can, makes its far more difficult for hour diplomats to know what to do next. >> jonathan, thank you. compounding all of this. north korea is the most corrupt nation in the world. tied with somalia and afghanistan as the most corrupt. that is according to a brand new survey from the watch dog group, transparency international. let's go over this. the manager editor of foreign affairs magazine is with us. g

we have kenneth bay who has been a prisoner now for months in north korea. he has been held there for more than a year. is it more or less likely we out? >> i think that's a great question, and the reason is that a very highly charged atmosphere, nobody wants to make a mistake. so the safe thing to do is the to do nothing. i think kenneth bay and merle newman will be held for much longer than they otherwise would have been. >> what game are the north korean's playing? trying to get more concessions aid? >> sure. they would love more aid. you know, they would like some other things from us as well. but i think at the end of the day, this is sort of dropped into their lap. they've got to do something about it. it comes at a bad time for both of those guys. so i think that essentially, this is sort part coincidence, but, also, you know, now that they are there, they are going to milly this to the max. >> for both of these men and their families, i hope something happens and they get out of there soon. gordon change, it's great to have you? >> thank you. >> time
