of awareness of of the issues that historians are now debating about what's going on in the korean peninsula, i think is quite striking. the truman administration and pretty much everybody in washington over that weekend almost emphatically disagree that this is a korean civil conflict. the first instinct is that this is directed by stalin. and the big question is why stalin now seeking to expand military force? and i think that's the thing that really washington by surprise. yes. there's been a cold war from truman's perspective for the past three years. but that cold war quite limited. the american seen the threat as being largely economic, growing out of the dislocation of world war two and the american response have largely economic aid. the marshall plan is sort of the signifier of that and also the areas of the cold war have become familiar and been fought over a divided germany. berlin when americans are thinking about asia in? the first half of 1950, it's very much the end game with the chinese civil war. what's going to happen in taiwan and, the fact that all of a sudden north korea

at the end of world war 2, the korean peninsula was liberated from japanese occupation. the winters of the war, the soviet union and the united states decided that they would each occupy half of the peninsula. they agreed on this latitude as the dividing line. in 1950 north korean troops invaded the south and the south pushed back. it was a brutal war. at least 2 and a half 1000000 people were killed. the north was backed by the soviet union and later also by china, both communist states. the south was backed by you and troops led by the us. and you'll see the cold war super powers never really went away. in 1953, an arm is disagreement was signed. freezing the front line of the war, roughly back along the same line again. it ended the fighting and created the buffer zone. we already saw the d n z, but it left many things unresolved, like that maritime border. that wasn't in the agreement. the un led by the us through that later without actually asking north korea's permission. and it was in a peace treaty. so the war between north and south korea never officially ended t

this village represents the hope of one day reunifying the korean peninsula. ..nestled in the heart of what's otherwise a no—man�*s land. here, a community of south koreans live in the shadow of their enemy, north korea. as young people shun a life of semi—captivity, its numbers are dwindling, along with the hope korea will ever be reunified. ourjourney into the demilitarised zone begins at dawn. ourjourney into the demilitarised zone begins at dawn. we pass checkpoint after checkpoint accompanied by commander chris mercado. freedom main, this is freedom 6. over. see this kind of blue archway and the white sign beyond it? we're now entering the demilitarised zone. this is the most militarised border in the world. hundreds of rounds of artillery point in both directions, and securing this level of access is incredibly rare. to our left and to our right, we have active minefields. there's more than two million mines inside of the dmz. freedom main, freedom main. this is freedom 3. as we drive towards north korea, we reach a small cluster of homes. this is the village of taesung, home to

complex, which like the in the inter-korean industrial complex, they've also subsumed their korean peninsula peace bureau in their foreign ministry under a broader diplomatic strategy bureau. so they're also mirroring north korean actions. so they're now essentially. expressing very hostile efforts at reunification. so it's a very. threatening period right now. and so that's why the lessons from the cold war are the lessons of the korean war are very pertinent today. hi, my name is laura wood and. i'm a professor emeritus and an to you my is a little bit thinking compared heavily so i used to study east germany and some of the similarities between the divided and divided germanys, for example, the refusal to recognize the holstein doctrine by the by the west to keep anybody from recognizing east germany. east germany became a big purveyor of weapons to countries hostile to the west. how do you think or the impact would be when you see the fall of the soviet union and the reunification of germany, east germany in become subsumed right they lose all there's great by the way a pop culture on pr

it's fine and try across the good parts of the korean peninsula, add also into japan. large big area of high pressure keeping it settled and sunny quiet. so the little me, i was very so that's the clear skies here, but we have got more cloud and right in gathering across southern parts of china. so the flooding concerns coming in across the saturated ground that we have here that will lead to a good deal of disruption. once again, it is so moving feature that it will punches, way across the east. china say i have a to was the korean peninsula. so this, that change that's going to bring some weather into the korean peninsula, temperatures folding back to around 20 celsius. that is so make the most of that fine dry day in such a pad of 20 item total because that weather. yep, that's coming your way. we'll see the cloud gathering the rain pushing into solving pos for q issue using across into western areas of hon. she by the end of monday, the pride this guys welcome sunshine at last, coming back into southern pulse of china will say a few showers across the indo china, one or 2 showers

the fellow rain clouds of gathering across the korean peninsula. we got some very wet weather pulsing its way out of eastern china unless it will run up towards south korea to boast. japan as we go through the next couple of days, a lot of pressure with the environment that's drifting its way further east west. so as we say this class start to push this way and some heavy rain once again for time across size, 5 hit pots of southern china, but that will, it'll make its way across the eastern china, through the east tennessee, running up towards the korean peninsula. property, when they read warnings in force across the pots of the korean peninsula. as we go through the next, i will say that was a whether we'll slip further east was the freshman something noticeably behind. 17 celsius there. and so we're, so whether come in across q, c, the west and thoughts all the whole issue as well. so you losey, drive, east and then southern parts of china. right? never ready to fall away. having said that, we've got some rain, hopefully useful, right? that will

it's a feature of the korean peninsula when what suzy is talking about when they divide the peninsula, you regroup. the korean left north and the korean and japanese collaborators go south. that's who we were working with, which was always a problem. and the americans are aware of that. so what is a civil conflict or a political conflict between koreans becomes an interstate conflict? i actually wanted to kind of bridge some of these comments, say that i mean, to look at i guess the i mean, as kind of ambiguous is the term civilian can be the civilian population in the united states actually during the war going back to something that david mentioned that you i think there's a tent. i mean, i really don't like the term the forgotten war because in order to forget you needed to have known something but it's not clear to me that there was actually much known so in fact you know, it's too bad that bruce cummings couldn't be here. he's he's actually my teacher. and i was really looking forward to seeing him in the first round. no, but you know, he he prefers the term, the unknown, because

and that's going to generate some pretty heavy writing for the korean peninsula. but he's left behind actually just fine. sunny weather beijing is up to 27. how laurie represents the written bit, just over the border from china, so you not will be a bit went but while g grandara hong kong or will not enjoying really say this spring. so fine looking sunny weather. this to in stormy is it leaves the korean peninsula, so the north coast of on show could be windy and red, your existing otherwise the to the real change. but if you jump size potential for flushing, i think for eastern sort of raising and the small on this to the east is there during wednesday. maybe something and stop by and sort of rock hall still too much . but the shelves are moving towards the seasonal range, creeping out through thailand, and particularly in vietnam, which is where you might expect it to be surrounded with hot sunshine. is that humid and sundry my back. as for india, the change is coming 1st. i think it's for us, for line cab upset in the southern part of the deck. in fact, it look

by november of that year, the popular ss summit of the conflict on the korean peninsula was highly optimistic. general macarthur himself thought he could have american gi at home for christmas. but for first lieutenant ralph puckett and the 50 rangers under his command, the path home turned out to be much less rosy ahead of them. it was a crucible of staggering odds, a along the front line near the chinese border, u.s. forces in ralph puckett jr sector were outnumbered. 3 to 2. but on the hill to zero of where his small company would take a stand. more than a mile from the nearest reinforcements, they were outnumbered. 10 to 1. it's difficult to imagine a starker embodiment of the motto rangers lead the way, perhaps on over 25th, 1950, ralph puckett jr repeated the simple prayer he offered when he took command. don't let me get a bunch of good guys killed. perhaps he asked for the strength, the courage and the resolve to discharge his duty and lead his men with honor. with the benefit of hindsight, all of us here today know that prayer was granted. ralph puckett were our nation's highest mili

by november of that year, the popular assessment of the conflict on the korean peninsula was highly optimistic. general macarthur himself thought he could have american gis home for christmas. but for first lieutenant ralph puckett and the 50 rangers under his command, the path home turned out to be much less rosy. i headed them was a crucible of staggering odds along the front line near the chinese border. u.s. forces in routes sector were outnumbered three to two. but on the hill 205 where his small company would take a stand more than a mile from the nearest reinforcements, they were outnumbered ten to one. it's difficult to imagine a starker embodiment of the motto rangers lead the way. perhaps on november 25, 1950, ralph puckett repeated the simple prayer he offered when he took command. don't let me get a bunch of good guys killed. perhaps he asked for the strength, the courage and the resolve to discharge his duty and lead his men with honor. with the benefit of hindsight, all of us here today know that prayer was granted. ralph puckett wore our nation's highest military decoration. and

the color of the skies have opened up nice the now across the korean peninsula and across japan, this little circulation. this swelling away moving away from northern parts of japan, brought it to scholars coming back in behind. and the balloons spring sunshine will continue to stretch its way through the korean peninsula center in northern parts of china. certainly very much on the war side to, to celsius. the inviting notice a little bit of what to whether to the north of that beijing and noticing via went by down to was the 5 south west as well. and that will gather that will move across southern areas as we go through the next day or so. as a clouding over into central parts ahead of that, it's dry and sunny, shining car, $27.00 celsius. so the temperature, the full right to keep the same line of cloud and rain looks its way back so we will see some what the weather coming into some parts of japan over the next couple of days on the face of china. also i see some wet weather now that where whether that makes its way across southern areas of china that's very much in evidence to re

you could arise ation of the korean peninsula. now, north korea has ensured that they've gone onto the agenda they summit by announcing the eminent launch it says of what will be a spice satellite, but using the ballistic missile technology, which is found under un security council resolutions. president, june, a cold out in north korea full. this calling for a firm response from the international community that was echoed by prime minister casita of japan. but to premier lee of china and don't go in quite as far, nearly calling full piece on the korean peninsula. the both south korea and japan will be hoping that china will use more of its influence at 2 bath on north korea to 10 per north korea's behavior between all 3 neighbors. various a diplomatic spots have existed in the past. various tensions still exist now, but the whole focus of this tri, latrell, has been to put on a face of co operation by all 3 and being on an upbeat note with premier lee of china saying that doubts and misunderstandings can be resolved. he says to c

this turn, stormy as it leaves the korean peninsula, as of the north coast of on show could be windy and red, your existing otherwise the to real change. but if you jump size potential for floating, i think for eastern solar raising the small allows us to the east is that during wednesday? maybe something in some sort of rock or steel too much right. but the shelves are moving towards the seasonal range, creeping out through thailand, and particularly in vietnam, which is very much expected to be surrounded with hot sunshine. is that humid and sundry weather as for india, the change is coming 1st. i think it's for us, for learning care about. so in the southern prophet deck, in fact it looks western now and that's not the attempt is back is still the halt in pakistan's and the fondles west of india. the ok foundation is deliberate, over $300000000.00 will suffice. emboldened 75 countries around the world, 100 percent of sec, thoughts and emergency donation spends on projects and we ensure beneficiaries come 1st of a 300 on luis heavens. have gone through the roof, the crossing in rec

that cloud and right eventually sliding across the korean peninsula. hopefully something they will try and provide to trying to push into solving pos at that stage. so i brought us a good pot sofa. the philippines just have one or 2 showers set, especially doubtful just now. i just some showers that 2 across indo china. yeah. so saves, know right across much of malaysia, a good part of indonesia, but we do have 3 of us guys that 4 java class guys more hot sunshine across the good parts of india, with temperatures widely into the forty's. the teams in the gaza strip as is there a lot continues. there's a deliberate mission of posting and humanity in western media, and it needs to be questioned, sustains coverage that actively humanize as, as readings and actively humanizes palestinians. this is not the time for doing this kind of way. tracking those stories, examining the journalism and the effect that news coverage can have on democracies everywhere. here at the listing past, the the watching all just bear with me. elizabeth donovan don't ha mind to ab

the korean war in the 1950s, when nato was reacting to what was happening, happening on the korean peninsula, so these concerns are real, the tension there is constantly real, but it is still in such a gray area. oleksiy, and it depends on the elections there, for example, on some negotiations that are taking place between the leaders of western countries there and china , including on some tension, can this tension decrease in such a way that the possibility of... escalation, it will be reduced as well, well, it seems not yet, because now all these steps are escalating and escalating around, various statements, exercises, movements, shelling of china, a merchant ship of the philippines with canisters, all this is happening constantly, and this is precisely part of the negotiations, such a forceful escalation of the negotiations until it passes. to war because, well, it looks like china isn't ready right now, but it's constantly coming, and in principle, the end of such a clear end that you can forget about escalation altogether, its does not exist, most likely in the long term there will be

i merely calling full piece on the korean peninsula of the both south korea and japan will be hoping that china will use more of its influence. a 2 bath on north korea to 10 per north korea's behavior between all 3 neighbors. various a diplomatic spots have existed in the past. various tensions still exist now, but the whole focus of this try lateral has been to put on a face of co operation by all 3 and being on an upbeat note with premier lee of china saying that doubts and misunderstandings can be resolved. he says to candid tools, rob mcbride, i'll just say era. so the french president demand will macklin has described his country's relationship with germany as indispensable. unimportant for your macro, and is on a 3 day visit to germany where he's meeting the country's leaders, including president of frank walters by law. it's the 1st french presidential states visit to jeremy in $24.00. georgians a celebrated a 106 years since dining independence, russia, but i've also been protest demonstrate as once again took to the streets in the capital to please see to denounce a bill whi

from air-to-air combat over the korean peninsula to providing close air support in vietnam, from ourominance in desert storm and the balkans to iraq and afghanistan, america's record of air and space superiority has been unmatched and unbroken. and today, around the world, our allies are in awe and our adversaries in fear of america's dominance in the air. we see it on nato's eastern flank, where our air patrols deter putin from expanding his war of aggression. we see it in ukraine, where our weapon deliveries and missile warnings help the people of ukraine defend their homes and homeland, their sovereignty and territorial integrity. we see it in the indo-pacific, where our presence ensures a free and open region. we see it in space, where america's military watchful eye protects and supportr and we see it in the middle east, where, last month, when iran launched an unprecedented attack on israel, it was our air and space forces that mounted an unprecedented defense along with our allies and partners. more than 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles were fired at israel.

an inter-korean agreement was also adopted declaration on the denuclearization of the peninsula.me in the entire history of their separate existence, phinyan and siul actually abandoned the ideas of a conquest. at least formally recognized the equality of the two states. plans for unification on the basis of a confederation were discussed, but in 94 after the death of kimersen, the dialogue was suspended. it resumed only 4 years later, when kim dae-jun became the president of the republic of korea. he proclaimed a policy of solar heat. one of the most important agreements was the decision to regularly hold meetings of family members. divided as a result of the korean war, in 2004 an industrial complex was created in the north korean city of kaesong, in which joint ventures of the two countries began to operate. relations only deteriorated in 2006, when north korea conducted its first nuclear test. the peace treaty was never signed. after kimchen's death, his son kimchen-un continued to develop nuclear and missile programs. sanctions were imposed against phinyang. only 7 years lat
