tae kwon do athletes and sizeable delegation. fourth and final round is under way right now, a few minutes from where we are here near the demilitarized zone that separates the north and the south. if you think about this, it is pretty remarkable what's transpired here. 24 hours ago very few people would have guessed that north korea would agree to send this delegation to the olympics, float around the idea of possibly restarting the family reunions, divided families on the korean peninsula. that could happen as soon as next month and reactivated a long dormant military hotline. it appears that north korea came to the table willing to make a deal and in the short term it seems to be a win for them and a win for south korea, who wanted a peaceful olympics without a nuclear test. what's going to happen after the olympics? north korean state media put out an article saying that the united states need to accept north korea as a nuclear power or face ruin. alisyn? >> so many questions still, will. it's great to have you there in the r

they were sent a pretty full delegation, a tae kwon do demonstration team, a cheerleading team. sending high—level officials. that has been confirmed them back to the top of the agenda at these talks, that is the agenda at these talks, that is the first thing they were going to discuss, sending a delegation to the peon chang games. the south korean president has said he hopes this can bea president has said he hopes this can be a festival of peace, this can change the direction of relations on the korean peninsula which has seen the korean peninsula which has seen the highest tensions for decades. they hope this will create some breathing space in which more talks can continue. they broke follows, the north korean delegation went back over the line for lunch and talks got underway again this afternoon. broadening the areas of discussion and we know they are talking about humanitarian issues like the union families who have been divided since the korean war. i was speaking to one man who hasn't seen his sisterfor 70 was speaking to one man who hasn't seen his sister for 70 years.

north korea has agreed to send a high-level delegation got olympics, including tae kwon do, cheering section, and a long dormant military hotline. they announced that today even though it happened almost a week ago and possibility of reunions of divided families on the korean peninsula. in the short term it's a win for both sides. south korea hopefully gets the peaceful olympics they've been hoping for, uninterrupted by a nuclear test or missile launch that could scare away spectators or disrupt the event. south korea and the u.s. have postponed joint military drills but this is key, north korea's chief negotiator expressed strong discontent with even the mention of denuclearization. south korea had indicated that they hoped that talks would potentially include north korea gisk up their nuclear weapons. they've said that won't happen. the bridge behind me leads to north korea. we're just behind the demilitarized zone. if the talks go peacefully and there are further discussions, what will happen next? obviously the u.s. and its allies are hoping that they would be able to denucleariz

entourage including a high-level delegation a cheering squad, an art troupe, visitors group, a tae kwonmonstration team, and north korean journalists as well. the south koreans went into these negotiations saying there were other things they hoped to discuss and they made some progress on re-establishing some contacts between the military on both sides of the demilitarized zone, reopening a line of communication on the west side of the peninsula, and, of course, the hope there is that if you have these kind of lines open, if there is a miscalculation or miscommunication, this is a way to diffuse tension instead of having what is the worst case scenario blowing up. they've agreed to have other types of discussions going forward. this has been welcomed by the japanese, by the russians, by the chinese as well, and a lot of south koreans will say we're happy both sides are talking. it's stunning if you consider that it was just late last november that north korea fired a missile and last september conducted its largest nuclear explosion to date. this has been described as a step forward and

suggests that north korea would like to send that band to the winter olympics in addition to the tae kwon do demonstration team, the cheerleaders, the north korean journalists, the art troupe that are all also supposed to be attending. a total of two north korean athletes who are actually qualifying for the sport's event. part of today's discussions are revolving around where to put the stage for the performance group that is planned to come from pyongyang. natalie? >> so ivan, this next stage of meetings that you say will involve higher level officials, what does south korea plan to bring to the table? do we know? >> well, possibly one of the things that they could bring would be their proposal that was brought up at the initial round of talks last tuesday, which was to resume reunions between relatives who have been separated for more than half a century by the demilitaryized zone, the holdover of the korean war of the 1950s. now when relations were better between seoul and pyongyang, there were these emotional meetings taking place, in some cases between siblings who haven't seen each

about not only what's happened in usa gymnastics but sexual abuse in usa swimming and issues in tae kwonday on msnbc, new york congressman carolyn maloney spoke about what exactly they want to look at. >> we ought to look at the olympic committee that was created by congress in 1978 and they complained to them. they complained to everyone. and michigan state university failed to protect their students. they received federal funds. we have a federal responsibility to listen to it. >> i think what's very clear, if anybody thought this was going to end with the sentencing of larry nassar, they're sadly mistaken. today mark hollis, the a.d. at michigan state resign. the board of directors is meeting at this hour. they're talking about nationwide search for a new president. luann simon, the profit msu stepped down earlier this week. a lot is happening and a lot has to change because this is unconscionable. >> thank you, anne thompson. larisa boyce. thank you. i'm completely blown away by you and your fellow gymnasts and what you have done. thank you for coming on and helping us understand wha

it's quite a big delegation as well of athletes, of cheerleaders, we were even told of a tae kwon doonstration team as well as delegates and journalists. there were other agreements going beyond sport. for example, north and south korea agreed to reopen a military hot line that had been closed. so that's the second hot line across the border. and also significantly to hold more military talks about reducing tensions. many people in the u.s. might be very skeptical about all of that. but it is a modest breakthrough. there was a list of possible agreements. on that list there was the possibility that families might be reunited, families who were divided by the korean war that ended in the 1950s. but that actually wasn't in the final agreement. so those families will be disappointed. south korea's delegation leader said at the beginning that he wanted north korea to stop its provocative acts and to move toward denuclearization. there was no comment whatsoever from the leader of the north korean delegation about that. but he did say look, we're sincere about talks and we want to move to

it will include athletes, cheering squad, and a tae kwon do demonstration team.ews particularly for the south korean president who believes that the games are the opportunity for ground—breaking change. the discussions then moved on to the other inter—korean issues like the thousands of people separated from their families for decades by the heavily fortified border zone. translation: we propose to hold a red cross meeting to discuss family reunions in time for the lunar new year which is a national holiday. later the south korean government announced a military hotline, closed two years ago as relations soured, would reopen. we can then show you the chinese reaction to the talks. translation: isa reaction to the talks. translation: is a neighbour of the korean palencia we welcome all positive steps that will allow an easing of tensions between south and north korea. —— korean peninsula. tensions between south and north korea. -- korean peninsula. here is robert wingfield hayes. well i think there is a huge amount of relief because it has been a pretty scary year
