the olympic games has produced an unexpected easing of tensions on the korean peninsula after years witho communication across the border, as pyongyang has built up its nuclear arsenal. let's get all the latest from the bbc‘s stephen mcdonell, who's in the south korean capital. how significant is this handshake? was this just for the cameras or is there something more of substance to it? certainly on a symbolic level this handshake at the opening ceremony is very significant. you can imagine that photo, the image, of the south korean president shaking hands with the north korean leader's sister at the opening ceremony has travelled all around the world. this comes after years of virtually no communication between the two regimes on the korean peninsular. so in and of itself the handshake is nothing, it'sjust hello. but the symbolism is enormous. what do you think they hope to move on from the handshake to achieve? you look at the events of the day here, again quite remarkable. who would have thought just months ago that this would take place, but imagine the us vice president pence comes

near the korean peninsula so i think that there is a fear or still is still remaining and this is really truly started time that two koreas trying to go on you know piece of rock that the end of war a faster and this is this is typically treats just to strategic time to a halt. or longer in the. woman so i think that really i hope the united states. you know vice president respect the koreans as i go get i point out that what it said was because important think that the the korean unit here during the olympic winter olympic is you know a benefit not. but also the entire world so i really hope that you know my present vice president doesn't really wound this. opportunity and the spirit of didn't believe it that dr someone chon from the korea peace network thank you very much indeed thank you thank you. well there's been a new twist in the trump russia commission claims that story imo it's time to fight . appetite i mean for conflict is very very low these days public service much more eager to see economic improvement than they are to. actually get into a fight with a neighbor or or with

united states i'll just give my opinion is scared to death that peace could break out on the korean peninsula they're terrified of that they're terrified that peace could break out in syria because the very fact that they stay there were nobody wants them to be there it makes it a political outcome a peaceful outcome impossible i mean why they so afraid of peace go ahead. well i think you're absolutely correct they seem to want to maintain overseas president presence in south korea and japan that's where our major forces are right now and that gives a. you know anchor in east asia and i think they do feel that china is rising and you know just like when saddam invaded kuwait that was a way to stay in saudi arabia for a long time and so i think these types of conflicts are useful in a certain sense for the has your mind to stay and whatever region they want to stay in you know earl if we if we look at the south korean peninsula look at that let's look at the region we've got japan we've got south korea we've got north korea we've got china we've got russia those countries can solve this tensio

policy is towards south korea and the korean peninsula given that you were the chief negotiator for thehave the highest regard for victor chow -- i was surprised like others that his nomination is not going forward. it is not a great time not having an ambassador in korea, given what is going on with the north korean peninsula and given what is going on in negotiations. what position does this but the united states when you have china and other countries trying to increase their global presence and trying to extend their influence in multilateral associations as well? you have their own bank now -- how does this play into the u.s. retreating from the world and their influence? so clear as the u.s. is retreating from the asia-pacific region on economic issues, other countries, particularly china, are trying to fill the void. in addition, what we are seeing is that countries with whom we have negotiated deals with in the past are countries of the recent ppp agreement that we withdrew from are coming together to do these deals without the united states. i'm not sure how this is in the u.s.

we've got a good mobile flow and our weather across the korean peninsula at the moment kind of right making their way through and some snow off the coasts a clear skies there into japan for a time we are going to see that making its way through as we go on through wednesday will be the foul weather cloud nine celsius there for tokyo temps just getting up to around two or three degrees across the korean peninsula these will add up as we go on into thursday so six celsius in seoul by this day any success is their fault ok but it should be last the try little bit of a wet weather some wintry weather will move through the sea of japan but nothing too much to speak of and we have the rain clouds gathering across central and southern parts of china at present some wet weather over towards the southwestern corner and this will become rather more expansive as we go on through thursday so some really big downpours certainly a possibility hong kong should stay lousy dry if a little on the gray side temperatures no higher than around seventeen degrees celsius plenty of showers meanwhile across

we've got weather systems going up to make their way across the korean peninsula easing over towardsjapan big massive cloud mass little area of low pressure developing here that's going to introduce a very wet and windy weather. some wintry weather for a time too as it makes its way across the sea of japan big downpours that it's in northern parts of honshu easing up into her car that was some snow for her kyra nineteen celsius in tokyo so at least the rain is going to be on the warm side it'll turn a little cold as we go on through friday wintry showers continues in northern parts of japan but further south it will brighten up and it won't be too bad at all we got up to around four celsius across the korean peninsula now just some wet weather coming into central parts of china by the states with a bit of wet weather in place here as we go on through thursday warm southerly winds in hong kong temperatures at around twenty five degrees celsius further north that rain will intensify as we go on into friday but for southern parts of china it will stay lousy fine if i was into spells of
