war in korea. the next several slides, i does want to demonstrate most of the military activity on the peninsula in part to show how it ranges all the way across. the war officially begins on june 25, 1950 -- when north korean forces move across the dm z. it was a temporary demarcation line at that point, between the northern government and the southern government in the hopes that at some point soon, the korean people would be able to elect a single government. in any case, the army moves past the demarcation line and captures seoul. and moves into south korean territory. within a few weeks, the north koreans had moved all the way down to what is called the perimeter. they had all but eliminated the south korean army and its ability to retaliate against them. and this is what brings the united nations into the war. september 15, we have operation that you might be for know you're with. this is macarthur's brilliant plan, that rather than pushing entirely by land, but to do it by a marine landing j

>> you're all welcome to korea, to see the reality of korea.which will be different for you from what you've heard. by the way, have you found people that have horns, and red face? >> (laughs) no, we haven't. we were given one chance to sit down and ask questions with party members. our guides insisted it wasn't an interview, just a conversation >> in the western world, especially in the united states, there is a lot of criticism of this country about what happens to those who oppose the government, so we wanted to know his opinion about what other countries say about human rights here in this country. >> in december, the un general assembly voted to refer north korea to the international criminal court for alleged crimes against humanity. the question is now on the permanent agenda of the security council. kim il sung square was filled with thousands of people in a government rally against the united states and the united nations. >> andrei lankov is a historian who has studied north korea for decades. >> north korea is a notorious human right

korea is critical. other leaders going back centuries understood that the korean peninsula is a dagger aimed at the heart of japan. i think that we'll have a more rational debate in japan now because of this, i hope. so now what happens? i would just end with a few predictions and if i'm wrong just don't invite me back. i don't think japanese prime ministers will apologize anymore. it is possible you have a liberal centerleft politician come back in, but i wouldn't expect in the next three, four, five years. i don't think anyone in the ldp, the 75th anniversary or other occasion is going to personally apologize. i think abe probably succeed in putting that in the past as he wanted. i think that abe did himself a favor in terms of the legislation on security, which is it's a lot more headwind in the public than the government expected. in part because of a sprained and explained poorly, in part because of the 70th anniversary. the fact that the coalition partner signed onto this statement, the fact that

during which north korea expressed regret. that's sold in the south by the southern side as an apology, an acknowledgment of responsibility. wednesday, as president park geun-hye was going to china, north korea said there was no such thing, it was an expression of regret in terms of i'm shore what you have gone through, but no expression of regret. as president is in china talking about north korea, saying how much influence can be brought to bear, given the frosty relations. we see a passengers problem in the recent better relations, at least the agreement that was reached last week between north and sierra. >> russia health a military parade. known as the southern kirra lease in russia and northern territories in japan. japan and russia claim a strain of relations. that's when russian forces occupied four islands in. a turkish shoulder killed and another wounded the shooting happened in the south-eastern province, the second time there was an attack. riot police used water canons to push back protesters. hundreds were angry

i've changed and i'm guessing nari's changed, and korea, korea has certainly changed. century ago, but in some ways it's still going. the north and south have been on perpetual war footing ever since. it's a psychological and physical scar. korea is literally split in half, but that's not what this show is about. there aren't many comparisons to south korea's stratospheric rise over the last decade. one of the poorest countries as recently as the '60s, today it claims one of the world's fastest growing economies. the government has been extremely shrewd and forward thinking about selling the world all things korean, underwriting, encouraging, financing and supporting the export of intangibles, things like music, movies, tv shows, food, the whole korean sensibility, and the world is responding, learning to love what koreans have always loved. the heart of korea is seoul, capital city, a bustling metropolis. futuristic in look and character. population 25 million. >> look at that. they've got a selfie stick. everybody is taking pictures of their food. i feel right at hom

have spoken about north korea.hat did they have to say? >> reporter: that's right. they talked about the nuclear issue, about trying to rein in north korea's nuclear ambitions but referred to the tensions between north and south which were settled to some extent it seems with a deal reached in the early hours of last tuesday morning last week. but she also said that china had played a constructive roll by closely communicate with south korea. that's an interesting contract with what kim jung ung was saying last week when he said north korea had to face down the south very much alone, suggesting that it hadn't had much support from china at this time. certainly relations between china and north korea had become much frostier since the leaderships began. as well as that, north korea chose this day, the day park left for beijing to say in regard to this recent deal, south korea should stop saying it's expression of regret in the dmz earlier last month was in fact an apology. they say it wasn't an apology. simply an ex

korea remains divided but the republic of korea remains a staunch ally. the northern territories remain in russian hands and continue to be an impediment to full japan-russian relations. but finally the united states remains the dominant power in the pacific although there are signs that might be changing. thank you. [applause] [speaking in other language] >> yes, sir? >> if you don't mind, are you arguing that truman felt or was briefed that conventional bombing was as horrendous as it was, the naval blockade, would swiftly save lives and therefore the decision to use the nukes was only about the soviets? >> it was about ending the war quickly before the russians to be fully prepared exercise their interests. >> so the use of the nukes in truman's mind was to end the war quickly and save lives? >> i agree with that. >> oh, okay. >> but it was also -- >> oh, sure. what the soviets did was therefore important but secondary. the primary was to stop this war now. so what was the objection from marshall and the others? didn't they want to stop the war now or

north korea's national defense commission chose this day to release a statement criticizing south korea for how it had been characterising the agreement, saying that north korea had apologised, admitted responsibility for a landmine blast last month, injuring two seen sold yers on the southern side of the demilitarized zone, saying the expression of regret made clear was that. there was no apology, and they should stop saying that one had been made. as for xi jinping, the work of park geun-hye and himself led to south korea and china enjoying a high level of friendship. and said that both fought off the aggression and immaterialist colonization. a clear message about japan. japan concerned about park geun-hye's attendance at the military parade due for thursday in beijing, the united states as well will want japan and south korea to work closely together at a time when china is rising in power and status in this region. the decision to attend will have been taken seriously, she, though, is trying to get a trilateral summit running between china, south korea and japan in the coming month

troops stationed in south korea out of south korea. >> the u.s. has called it an irresponsible provocation. usually it just tries to ignore north korea. the interlock -- >> china and north korea relations over the past 60 years have gone through some rough times. its third test came on february 12th in 2013 during chinese lunar new year celebrations. the most important holiday in in china just after the chinese president took power so that was an insult towards china so china grew indignant. said a lot of things about north korea implying it might cut off aid to north korea. but i don't think that's in china's strategic interest. i think they've put up with them for over 60 years and i think if north korea conducts another weapons test will sign onto another resolution penalizing north korea but behind the scenes, china will go on aiding north korea because china enjoys tremendous economic and political influence over north and south korea and china is not ready to give that up right now. >> soon young lee joining us from massachusetts. sir, thank

first of all, as you mentioned, north korea watchers have suspected for a while that north korea has resumed nuclear operations. north korea has now confirmed this. this means they have expanded ability to mine and mill uranium. second of all. while there are questions about north korea rocket technology, we know that north korea is working hard to expand the rocket technology. they have announced they are testing a new rocket. of course their goal is to extend the range of their rocket, to reach other countries in the u.s. third, the north korea economy is in shambles. there is a desperate need for hard currency. they are running low on food. that means the government is desperate. rogue regimes like north korea use this to gain leverage and that is what they're trying to do. deirdre: david, you highlighted reasons why we pus may attention. what rather reasons for paying attention to this plant? we know the key reactor was shut down or ceased working in before, but to your point it is now working as we see on video or gps. does that mean they could have functioning nuclear bomb of h

north korea violated the treaty. there was an agreement in 1994 to freeze north korea's plutonium production in exchange for oil subsidies from japan, the united states, south korea. that deal fell through in the early 2000's, when north korea was complaining there were not getting their oil. they were pursuing a uranium enrichment program. there were further efforts from the george w. bush administration to halt and denuclearize north korea. they are known to have a program that will probably give them material for more weapons. they have ballistic missiles that can carry a nuclear warhead. their program is unconstrained, is growing slowly. the real threat with north korea is they could begin arming these ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, threatening japan and south korea. host: travis is waiting on our line for republicans. good morning. caller: good morning. i just wanted to say that this is really not a treaty, this is a surrender. the only thing missing is a white flag. and we are not even getting our pr

and we'll hold the meetings in japan and korea.hat's all it says, which is pretty vague on exactly what they had in mind for cooperation on nuclear safety. it might be purposely vague to let that body, the trm figure out what to do or it could be a sign that the administration didn't have a good idea of what exactly to do on nuclear safety cooperation. but i tend to think it's a little more of the former of being purposely vague. here again is park mentioning nuclear safety in liberation day address from august 15th of last year when i looked at her address this year from ten days ago i didn't see a nuclear safety mention but please someone correct me if i was wrong on that, but basically she says there's a lot of nuclear power plants in the region and this is a threat to regional safety so just like europe started with the steel and coal community added your atom we will use nuclear safety as an issue to build regional trust and integration and propose that we create a conversatiosultativ for nuclear safety in northeast asia, kore

i think china's influence on north korea is waning. china doesn't have the influence on north korea that it had in the past. that's an area of concern. there are many areas globally where we cooperate with china. one of the areas in the past where we have received cooperation from china has been to mitigate the behavior in north korea. we're not seeing that today. that causes me great concern. >> one of the initiatives that we have with the chinese is not just checking their disregard for international law of the sea, but also re-engaging them to work together to face a very significant threat in north korea, is that accurate? >> you are correct, sir. i've been very critical of chinese behavior in the last two years. but i've also been -- i have acknowledged where china has been helpful. they have been helpful in removal of chemical weapons from syria, in the counter piracy off the horn of africa and the search for the malaysian airlines off of australia and the support to the philippines in the november 2013 typhoon that hit that coun

/china relationship. >> reporter: they said south korea had established ties with china than north korea, likely an historic event in northeastern asia. >> but what led park to attend even though most western leaders didn't. >> the biggest reason is the actions by north korea. a number of them since last month. the country's close relationship with china it put pressure. during the meeting china played a role in easing last month's tensions. park called on beijing to urge to refrain from further provocations. park comments and state run media said extremely -- the criticism is being taken as a sign that the north feels a sense of urgency towards its relationship with china. drawing out a comment that china oppose any actions that might heighten tensions on the korean -- this agreed to take part in the summit. park remained firm trying to be careful not to give the wrong impression. the u.s. is concerned about china's expansion and has also been calling on japan and south korea to mend their relations. park creating, putting her country before -- a constant effort in south korea's involve

of north korea as a nuclear state. and that's why we urge north korea to refrain from actions and rhetoric that threaten regional peace and security and focus, instead, on fulfilling its international obligations and commitments. >> too late, north korea has already carried out three nuclear tests and possesses enough fiscal material for six bombs. north korea's latest declaration comes one day after it threatened a long range rocket launch. the satellite launch it anounszed monday is a failed ballistic missile test. north kreia has been working to improve the delivery system for a nuclear weapon. >> the department continues to urge north korea to refrain from actions that aggregate u.n. security council resolutions, which we believe this particular launch, for example, would violate a u.n. security council resolution. >> u.s. air force chief general mark welch recently warned here at the pentagon that north korea has a missile that can reach the u.s. >> certainly, that i have a missile that can reach hawaii or u.s. fa

nor had he made any formal written commitment about korea.ndence for korea had morphed into a three-power trusteeship which included the soviet union but not great britain. -- unlike the written commitment and yalta absence of any formal written commitments from my japan and korea -- for homeland japan and korea were trumans we out of f.d.r.'s bad bargain. truman would adhere scrupulously to the written commitment, to alter to u.s. advantage the unwritten informal understandings. and the atomic bomb would be the key to success. as truman's review continued, it became clear japan was beaten. the japanese navy and air force had ceased to exist as viable forces. the u.s. air force had commenced massive bombing against most cities leaving the monroe's -- them in ruins. u.s. navy had a blockade bombarding the coastal cities. submarines had cut off all access to the islands. japan was prostrate. moreover, working the japanese were seeking to end the war, extending peace feelers to the vatican, the swiss, and the russians in moscow. the sole conditi
