clear to south koreans that although there are many common interests that the two koreas need to pursue at the same timethere needs to be a great deal of caution in dealing with north korea and the goal by the kind of probably reactions that we have seen since the announcements that north korea is indeed participating in the olympics there's actually been a lot of public anger here over the perception that perhaps soul has gone too far in making these gestures of goodwill for example the fact that south and north are going to have a joint women's hockey team that news has been received with a great deal of anger because they think this is coming at the expense of a very hardworking south korean athletes who may potentially lose their spots in the game for political reasons. just this this home or strength president one of the day just for him. well he did king coming to power or promising to improve relations with north korea and at the time there was so much anger aimed at the previous president. who is now facing a criminal trial for corruption it really wasn't such a big issue but now that he has com

from the conservative perspective in north korea trying to buy time the majority seems to believe the north korea is trying to finalize its technical development to to achieve operational i.c.b.m. so you know as us the cia has announced before they are talking about two or three months time in terms of finalizing the i.c.b.m. system and it looks like this is a perfect action on their side you know to buy time. last year north korea test fired three intercontinental ballistic missiles or i.c.b.m.'s including one that it's capable of reaching the u.s. mainland many hope the upcoming talks remain the best option for now of deescalate the crisis on the korean it's. largely al-jazeera so. there have been some diplomatic breakthroughs on the korean peninsula in the past with the riding results the first enter korean summit was held in two thousand the two sides signed a declaration allowing separated families to have reunion meetings seven years later there were renewed calls for international mediation the second summit and with a declaration to continue working towards a permanent peace t

north korea has reopened communication inside the demur tries own with south korea for the first time in almost two years it took place ahead of talks between the two governments scheduled for tuesday. north korea's leader kim jong un has given an order to open the panmunjom hotline between the north and south from three pm on january third to contact south korea regarding the right time for talks and sending a delegation to the peeling chuang winter olympics or they would need to gate park in south korea's government welcomes north korea's response to yesterday's offer to restore the public communication channel we would discuss practical affairs regarding yesterday's offer to hold south and north korea talks. ogram on why it is a research fellow over the institute of defense and strategic studies in singapore he says expectations very positive outcome should be high. i think there's a lot of hope and the the new found hope is a warranted one because we have had a very difficult year in twenty seventy with you know regulus not being from the north koreans of any offering of figleaves

pro korea has reopened communication inside the demilitarized zone with south korea for the first time in almost two years to set place ahead of talks and when the two governments scheduled for tuesday on monday north korea's leader kim jong un made a rare conciliatory offer of talks during his new year's address bernard smith reports this is the only official means of communication between north korea and south korea but for almost two years the north koreans have refused to answer the phone until wednesday when they placed a call to the south. kim jong un has given an order to reopen the hotline between the north and the south to contact south korea regarding a right time for talks and sending a delegation to the kyung chuang winter olympics. the decision was welcomed in seoul a day after the government there proposed high level talks amid a tense standoff over north korea's misawa nuclear programs but the u.s. government wasn't impressed we won't take any of the talk seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in north korea we consider this to be a very reckless

but as you know, we've had channels open to north korea for some time. they do know how to reach us if and when they're ready to engage, as well. >> explain to us what the policy is on north korea. do the north koreans have to give up their nuclear program before committing to talks? >> our policy is the complete verifiable irreversible denuclearzation of the korean peninsula. that is a policy commonly held by everyone in the region, as well. the chinese and russia have it as a stated policy. regionally, all the countries in the neighboring area as well as the international community are well aligned on the policy. how we achieve the ultimate endpoint, the final full denuclearzation, the verification of that and the ir reversibili irreversibility of that is going to take some time. we clearly need a signal from north korea that they understand these talks must lead to that conclusion. >> so potentially thawing relations between north korea and the united states. where does the united states stand on all of this? will ripley live for us in seoul, south kor

korea it lasts ten years. the beloved leader was here six times the venerable general was here four times the current leader has been here twice. who was where and how often you're constantly being informed of that in north korea i'm visiting a state vegetable plantation four hundred twenty three families live in new houses have been built to expand the agricultural collective. i'm hoping to be allowed to talk to the workers here i've been promised i'll be taken to one of the operations but i can only see a few people in a place that's meant to be home to four hundred twenty three families. on a small elevation that feels like a surveillance platform i'm allowed to film the workers from a safe distance it's really not what i had imagined and once again it's typically north korean. giving up isn't exactly one of my qualities and so i insist on being allowed to meet the workers i don't just want to see what i'm supposed to be shown i'm here because i want to get to know the korean people a bit better to achieve that i need to meet them i finally convince my mind is and after they've made several telephone calls t

korea. later, we'll hear any interview ricoh did with people who are spent time in north korea. —— rico. at some of the day's other news. president trump's former chief strategist, steve bannon, has resigned as executive chairman of breitbart news, the right—wing news organisation. mr bannon was widely quoted in a new book which painted an unflattering picture of the trump white house, and which accused the president's son of treasonous behaviour. breitbart said that mr bannon was a valued part of its legacy, and they'd always be grateful for his contributions. here's our north america editorjon sopel on what it means. —— david willis is in washington. the moment that the funding of support behind him, his position became untenable. absolutely. that was the crucial thing that brought about the circumstances and now steve bannon out at breitbart as a result, the mercer is said that they would no longer back its plan to field far right candidates in congressional elections coming up later this year. now they seem to have bowed as well to a request from the white house, sarah sanders, the w

times. what is the influence china can exert on north korea? we see from our policymakers we are looking to them to stabilize the kim jong-un regime. mr. fields: the chinese have tremendous influence, but it is a v china a few times. what is theery blunt weapon. the chinese could put enormous pressure on the north korean regime. they could cut imports from the regime. doing so risks the collapse of the north korean regime. most of those people will not go south, they will go north into china. the northern border between china and north korea is not militarized. in some places, it is hardly marked. that is the chosen route by defectors. this is not what the chinese want. they couldwant. they could lose a buffer between themselves and americans in the south. there is a tremendous amount of ethnic koreans who are chinese citizens that live in that region. this is one of the minority populations that has had no problem with latent nationalis m. they are ardent nationalists, and he would be inviting tens of millions into your country. this is not at

korea's charm offensive. in short, it is not the time to ease pressure or to reward north korea. my last point comes from my earlier observation, namely, to uphold the maximum pressure campaign, and the increasing number of ship to ship transfer that the current regime is finally biting. it is also likely that sanctions will be produced even this year and the fact that north korea is engaging in dialogue could be interpreted as proof that the sanctions are working. i would, therefore, argue that now is the time for all the country to renew their determination to implement relevant security council resolutions fully and vigorously reinforcing autonomous measures when and where available. this could include cutting off diplomatic ties with north korea as well as repatriating north korean workers. only through these measures can we make north korea change a policy. in this regard, my kingdom of jordan has just decided to cut its diplomatic ties with north korea. japan highly appreciate joining the initiative and expects other countries to follow the same path and take further action

korea. this was recorded at the american historical association's annual meeting and washington, d.c. it is about 15 minutes. historianields is a who specializes in a timely field, u.s.-korea relations. what is the most important thing that anyone watching the news right now and worrying about the state of things should know about korea and u.s./korea relations? >> i think the most important thing to understand is that the division of korea was originally a u.s. idea. this division was never supposed to be permanent. the hope was korea would eventually result in a unified state. that did not happen. the division became permanent. there is no doubt whose idea it was originally. the reason this matters is the koreans see themselves as one people, one nation and one race. and would like to be reunified, especially the elder generation of koreans who still have family in the north, some of whom have not spoken in decades. this matters because in many ways koreans hold the united states responsible for that decision. there is a latent stream of anti-americanism running through korean society that does not always manifest itself, but could manifest itself in a

koreath korea and south plan to meet for the first time in years ahead of the winter olympics next month and south korea. we recently spoke with a historian about the background of the relationship between the two countries and the involvement in the night states -- the involvement of the united states. this is just under 20 minutes. david is a historian at university of wisconsin madison who specializes in a timely field, u.s.-korea relations. what is the most important thing that anyone who is watching the news right now worrying about the state of things should know about korea and north korea? >> the most important thing to understand is that the division of korea was originally a u.s. idea. this was never supposed to be permanent. korea would eventually unify. that did not happen. the division became permanent. much,ason this matters so the koreans see themselves as one people, one nation, one race, and would like to be reunified. especially south koreans who have family in the north. koreans hold the united states responsible for that decision. there is a latent strain of running t

you mentioned these talks that are going to be happening between north korea and south korea. " has more on times that, saying south korea responded to an overture from the north and propose holding high-level talks between the countries on their border next week. north korea's leader, kim jong-un, as suggested on monday that the country's open dialogue on easing military tensions and the possibility of the north participating in the winter olympics in the south, even as he noted that he now has a nuclear button on his desk. how unusual -- have we seen these type of opportunities between the north and south before? guest: these talks have actually happened historically fairly regularly. the last was in 2015 after a series of incidents along the dmz, which were cut out after south korea extended proliferation against an industrial complex. there were talks prior to the 1988 olympics, the last time the olympics were held in south korea. there were also talks before other olympics. in fact, the north korean and south korean teams walks ceremonies opening both in sydney and in athens. venueympics has

my name is luka i'm a photographer and live in vienna i've been able to travel to north korea seven times since two thousand and five getting a picture of the country's people and their world view during these trips i saw more than i was allowed to be shunned any journalists visiting the country is accompanied by mind as around the clock i've known mine for a few years now. i'm taking pictures with them they check what you film who you talk to and what about i see the familiar images but time and again i see new ones i notice that there are a few new. ideas for many of the people caught in this collective mindset. a paranoid system one that i too have to submit to. it is a requirement on every visit to start by going to the statues of the two great leaders i'm familiar with this. they're part of the large man sued a monument which commemorates north korea's fight against the japanese occupation. the capital pyongyang is home to more than three million people and to a middle class that's becoming economically increasingly independent of the state a middle class that could in the long term

un under the right circumstances though trump has previously said any talks with north korea would be a waste of time mixed signals from his administration and even the fact that a year on he hasn't appointed an ambassador to south korea has some analysts questioning what trump's policy on north korea really is kathy novak al-jazeera seoul and pakistan thousands of opposition supporters are expected to rally in the city of lahore the demonstration is being led by members of the pakistan awami to rick party still seeking justice for activists killed in clashes with police enter thousand and fourteen while hyder joins us live from that rally and a lot more so tell us more about what the goals are the mission and what is it that the opposition wants. well first of all let me tell you this is going to be a major trolls by the combined opposition party led by get on including the pakistan people's party imran khan. dr tyrell qadri. de re and all of course with the demand that the provincial government including the achievement of. the law minister of the province. now detail because of the fact that back

korea. he said in the past it would be a waste of time for secretary tillerson to talk with north korea. why the turnaround? >> there is no turnaround. he's said, yes, there could be a time where we talk to north korea. a lot of things have to happen before they take place. they have to stop testing. they have to be willing to talk about banning nuclear weapons. those things have to happen. we're trying to make sure we don't repeat what's happened the last 25 years. them start to act like they're coming to the table. them ask for a lot of money. and then cheat their way through. we're going to be smart this time. make sure whatever happens makes the united states safer and that we denuclearize the peninsula. >> it's one thing to stop testing for now. it's another to say we'll get rid of the nuclear arsenal. both conditions are necessary for the u.s. to talk? >> no, i think stop testing is very important. and for a significant amount of time. and then you go and you work towards the next step. this is going to be phases. it is not going to happen overnight. it's a dangerous situation. >> w

north korea's leader kim jong un says he's open to dialogue with south korea that time should improve between both countries in made the comments in his new year's address he also said north korea has weapons capable of reaching the entire u.s. mainland and the launch button is on his desk. now for the past seventeen years american missionaries have helped make christianity the fastest growing religion in south korea but in recent mind i and for my pastor or so intrigued me. to preserve the first in the planets first and then the next one is the return. to communicate . in south korea though that message is being ignored christianity is the major faith followed by buddhism but young people are moving away from all religions the latest survey shows that fifty six percent of the population now describe themselves as non-religious. i think people need someone to rely on but i usually go to my family friends and girlfriend so i don't really feel the need to be religious. some believe church leaders and priests live affluent lifestyles with no financial transparency and are out of touch wi

held and south korea high-level talks today for the first time in over two years. the south asked the north to end hostile acts, while north korea said it would not discuss nuclear weapons. afterwards, pyongyang said it would send a delegation to the winter olympics in seoul next month. rupert wingfield-hayes has the latest from seoul. rupert: skiers on the slopes of pyeongchang were moving a little slower than they will be in a month's time. then, the world's best will be flying down. and now we know that when the olympic games open here on february 7, there will be a full north korean team competing. they will march in side-by-side with their south korean compatriots. >> i think with sports, we can put everything else aside from and everyone should do their best to achieve their goals in the competition. rupert: north korea is just 50 miles away in that direction, and the north has completely overshadowed preparations for the olympics here. some teams have threatened to pull out, ticket sales have been slow. you can see this place is not exactly humming with skier

why this is the first family that we do see a joint korean team this is not the first time that we see the two koreas that they'll be marching site by site in an opening ceremony that has happened before it happened in sydney for the first time in two thousand and four years later in athens and at the winter games and inter and ok. we know that kim jong un wants to use this the. the olympics to isolate the united states and he would like for the united states to be the ultimate loser in this if you're thinking of him as a rational actor is he going to get what he wants to say it's not about isolating the u.s. but engaging the u.s. and as i said earlier it's about going via south korea to the u.s. because talking to the u.s. directly was and still is very difficult without losing face but now north korea can say we went to the olympics we are full peace and that now without losing face they can and you think is is thinking that this is a way this is a channel to communicate with the u.s. without it appearing that we're picking up the phone yes that's exactly the strategy capable see we've got another

says he's open to dialogue with south korea and the times should improve between both countries can make the comments in his new year's address he also said north korea as weapons capable of reaching the top u.s. mainland on the launch button is on his desk. iranian president hassan rouhani has made his first speech following days of protests against economic hardship and alleged corruption run he said the government must provide space for criticism but also want to just as that violence was unacceptable. not protests demanding the resignation of the president of the democratic republic of congo have turned violent eight people were killed and dozens arrested by security forces after catholics call for a peaceful demonstrations across the country reports. in the democratic republic of congo catholic worship is praying this sunday they pray with a political purpose they want president joseph kabila goal turning everyone. else to their. i think very good it was very nice not think it was funny. was their prayers were heard by security forces in kinshasa twenty seventeen ended as it began k

south korea places such an emphasis on a successful peaceful olympics, it's a time where north koreaions. thirdly, i don't think one can overlook the possibility that north korea has reached its goal in the nuclear and missile programme, it said so in its new year's day address and so now is a time where they can pause for a while. driving a wedge between the south korean leadership and washington by making the south koreans believe that there is a peaceful future ahead would be an obvious reason for the rapprochement from the north? that's obviously another reason, north korea would be foolish not to try to drive a wedge during this time when they would seem to have some advantage because of south korea's need for this peaceful olympics. but the south korean officials i have talked with say don't worry, they're not going to make concessions without full consultation with the united states. soi consultation with the united states. so i think the bonds between south korea and the united states are still pretty firm. all right, mark fitzpatrick, thank you. you are welcome, happy to tal

and, therefore, they believe in south korea that it is time to get aid in south korea that it is timen in south korea that it is time to get aid in now, that's what she is pushing for here. it is quite a savvy m ove pushing for here. it is quite a savvy move on behalf of the south koreans. they say they are reaching a hand of friendship to the north while the international community is able to put the teeth into north korea and say, look, we clamp down on you if you don't get rid of your nuclear weapons. there is a two pronged approach going on. yesterday on the programme we discussed reports steve bannon, the former chief strategist at the white house, had been called to testify to a grand jury. this was going to be pa rt grand jury. this was going to be part of robert miller's investigation into alleged collusion between the current campaign and russia. —— robert muller. we have been told a deal has been done and the grand jury appearance isn't certain to happen. katty kay in washington has been helping me understand. the subpoena for mr bannon to appear before a grand jury hasn't b

dialogue currently taking place between north and south korea just simply doesn't matter now at the very moment that trump gave this interview at the same time there are meetings going on between north and south korea and they've actually been some major breakthroughs that have been made let's take a listen to what's actually going on. too. much together in the opening ceremony under the korean. female ice hockey team. now that seems quite meaningful if you look at what's happening but according to donald trump it is the opposite now in the interview donald trump praised china but said that they could be doing more to help the effort to isolate the country economically he also was very critical of russia and said that russia wasn't helping at all and his interview was pretty clear in saying that he thought the correct approach and the efforts by the united states to threaten to put pressure on north korea with sanctions he thought that was the best way forward to bring peace to the korean peninsula and anything so corresponding kaleb mopin with the latest. and i'm joined now on the line by brian baca he's c. national director of the answer c

delegations from north and south korea met for the third time in ten days a sign of progress but on tuesday their plans for a joint women's ice hockey team got a somewhat frosty reception from south korea's coach sara mari adding somebody in north korean or south korea having somebody inside the all picks it's a little bit dangerous on just rich history because the girls have been together for so long it's not just the sporting deila the political implications split opinion among south koreans. really a product you would have i am worried about how the international community will react if we were to set the north korean proposal for the olympics get there so i personally hope that we will not agree to it but i'm not going to go get that i think. i'm going to go so it would be better if can improve our image as the international community has been worried by the tensions that have been meeting then to talk about sports first provides a good platform for talks on politics and other issues. that sentiment is echoed by experts who feel the olympic cooperation may pave the way for comprehensive

are beginning to have a big impact on north korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea for the first time does anybody really believe that talks and dialogue would be going on between north and south korea right now if i wasn't strong and willing to commit to meit's against the north and since then for almost a month now nothing on the rocket man from trump i think this is his way of trying to face the my policy or pressure is having an effect bringing reality of the policy or pressure as though it had only made this more difficult to come into play and had to the later that would have happened mark threw in or i think without trump in the picture and unfortunately i think it was only a temporary warming from the united states because due to the specific case of it being the olympics was sort of a special case. united states is announce we're going to conduct the usual war exercises immediately after the impacts but after all trump has always maintained he can be flexible meaning that he can go from foe to friend with his north korean counterpart just like that so why the silence now well

koreas use sports to bridge divisions. alima: and what makes this so unique is this is the first time we will be seeing a unified korean olympiceam. i have been stressing this the entire day, the emphasis is on olympics. in the past the two koreas have joined forces when it comes to international sporting events. we saw in 1991 in japan at the tennis championships, and the women ended up winning t that tournament, and that same year they also sent a joint soccer tape -- team to the youth group. do you want to guess how far they went? brent: i have no idea. alima: as far as the quarterfinals. if they unite, the talent pool is even bigger, and they are quite the sporting power. brent: there is more than sports and not just symbolism. what is the reaction and south korea? hannes: similar to the international c community, peope are positive about the recent developments, but except the conservative position who drives increasingly to go against this. they say it promotes the propaganda of the north, and for example carrying the unification flag you mentioned, they would rather betray the south korean people because they are not ca

meeting going on in canada which is just as i understand just wrapped up but at the same time you've got the two koreas also holding their talks another round of talks as well more or less at the same time well this is the point at the last of the all these years north korea and. south korea have sat down for direct negotiations first time in years and it comes at a very opportune moment the olympics coming up and everybody wants things to be calm during the olympics they'll be so many foreign visitors so a huge event the north koreans have sat down they've agreed on all sorts of things north korea is going to send a delegation seeing is performance they're talking about uniting the north korean and south korean woman's hockey team so we're playing under a united flag you know it's almost unprecedented and this time when so much is happening you have this meeting of foreign ministers on the warpath talking about more sanctions and throttling north korea into compliance and you know you've got to wonder what what these people are thinking and this is the russian foreign minister said he didn't hold any
