. >> back to asia, renewing tensions between north and south korea. >> is but a year since north korea launched an artillery attack on south korea. it was the first in an area since the korean war ended in 1953. in the south korean capital, they held a rally in announcing north korean leader. they were met by a special u.n. envoy. joining us now for more as our correspondent who has been following those developments. thank you for joining us. what has he been able to find out about human rights issues in the north? >> there is one very crucial fact that he has not been able to get access into north korea. he hasn't gotten confirmed access into china. he is having to do almost all of his research from here in south korea. he is preparing for a new report on human rights in north korea. it is a quite difficult line. she says that he was using this opportunity to call on south korea and the international community to provide a more humanitarian aid. despite worry concerns about the human rights situation inside the country. >> are there any plans for a un representative to go to the north

it's north korea because on the one hand, it's not in the chinese interest for north korea to have nuclear weapons. on the other hand, the chinese believe that it's also not in their national interest to have north korea collapse and then faced the prospect of a large country on its border which may even inherit the north korean nuclear capability, so i think china has been going back and forth on the north korean nuclear issue and hasn't really made a decisive move. i think they would be delighted if these weapons would go away, but they don't want to do what is required to make them go away. so, they bear a responsibility for the consequences. now, they themselves have not been active in nuclear proliferation, because it would hurt them more, but north korea has because north korea has -- it's broke and it's just about the most repressive country in the world. and and sooner or later, the other countries have to face the issue of what happens when a rogue nuclear country continues to operate and that's an issue before us with iran. it's an issue also, even in a more complex way, with nor

on north korea potentially?on north korea potentially. >> what about from the russian perspective? >> i think north korea is in a different stage, more advanced stage and so it presents different problems than does the iranian issue. there is hope that we can prevail upon iran not to go fully to weaponizeation. that is the hope. my guess, and there is still time from the russian perspective. one point that keeps getting forgotten in terms of what sparks the international unity is what is revealed that's new that iran is engaged in and there always are surprises and i have to expect that we're going to have more surprises as we go down the road and that iran itself will spark this international unity unless it furiously back pedals and starts cooperating with the iaea. >> you mentioned the russians were not pleased by the fact that they have not gotten much out of the relationship and they were displeased by the fact that they -- >> yeah. a lot of that led to 1929. the other thing that we forget is that sanctions

it has usually asked people to avoid travel to north korea, since the country launched ballistic missilesn 2006. the north korean football association says fans are ohibited from bringing drums, microphones and national flags to the stadium. the country's travel agency banned cell phones, magazines and telephoto lenses. the japanese government is telling travellers to avoid purchasing any souvenirs, because of trade restrictions. >> translator: i'm excited and nervous, because there's little information about north korea. i was also told to refrain from making any eye-catching movements. >> tuesday's match will take place at kim ill sung's stadium. north korea has been already been eliminated in the qualifiers. still, state media says this game will be fierce. and that a strong attention at home and abroad. >>> next, we go to dhra dhirakaosal in bangkok, to find out what's going on in the region. >> myanmar's pro democracy leader, aung san suu kyi, has expressed a positive stance on the country's bid to chair asean in 2014. but she called for greater action towards democracy and approving

and certainly north korea is more important for china because north korea is on china's border and after the provocations' over last year china and north korea have been were relatively well-behaved this year. so far it is there has not been provocation -- >> [inaudible] [laughter] >> probably. and next year will be the centennial of kim il-sung and they are going to declare north korea to be a strong and prosperous nation, china sees north korea might have a very large likelihood of adopting economic reform approach and would readily open up, some china concern with north korea has decreased this year. >> so it's actually more positive potentially. >> what about from the russian perspective? >> i think from the russian perspective north korea is in a different stage, more advanced stage and so it presents different problems and then go to the iranian issue. there is still hope that we can prevail upon iran not to go fully to the weaponization my guess and there's still time from the russian perspective. the point that keeps getting forgotten in terms of what sparks international unity i

>> all issues except north korea i think that interest is parallel to our i's.to be interested in the proliferation of nuclear weapons the two countries that cannot have the same technological danger they do not understand the then for the outburst so i am quite hopeful we can get chinese support. and then the outside forces can tell the country who buy the eight competing globalization will come to the point* as it is a complicated issue because on the one hand it is not in the chinese interest to have nuclear weapons but on the other hand, it is not in their national interest to have north korea collapse to have such a large entry on its border to have such a capability. so going back and forth of the north korean nuclear issue to make such a decisive move, i think they would be delighted if they went away but they don't want to do what is required to make them go away. so it is their responsibility for the consequences that they themselves have not been active in the nuclear proliferation because it would hurt them more. but north korea has. it is broke into

obviously for fear of sparking protests within north korea. ent in march simply saying libya's dismantling of its nuclear weapons program made it very vulnerable to western intervention. in other words, we the north koreans will keep our nukes as our insurance policy against regime change. so don't expect pyongyang to disarm any time soon. the regime they interprets the fall of gadhafi as a cautionary tale. don't disarm, don't try and talk to the west, don't open up. meanwhile, the suffering of the korean people continues. just last week, unicef reported that millions of children there are at risk of being severely malnourished. these children will be more vulnerable to disease and stunted growth. and there's little hope that the government has the ability to help even if it wanted to. there's been a major shortage of food for years now compounded by adverse weather conditions, a suspension of food aid programs from the u.s. and south korea. even china, pyongyang's only ally, has cut food aid. so what happens next? no one predicted the arab spr

to north korea, there has been a real threat of conflict on the korean peninsula by both south and north korea, engaging in these questions of credibility. this has been a real consequence. how much of these kinds of really difficult issues are playing into china and russia's calculations about the broader non-proliferation question? yun, what do you think? >> i remember striking comments from chinese analysts on the linkage between the issues. the first comment from beijing last year was north korea already has nuclear weapons. if the international community did not start a war with north korea, why would we fight a war with iran, who does not even have no clear weapons today? that explains -- nuclear weapons today? that explains part of the reluctance or refusal against the military option. the second comment i remember is that chinese analysts believe we learned an important lesson from north korea. you can develop the capacity, but do not hide your bonds. -- bombs. if you just about the capacity, you can enjoy a [unintelligible] china sees north korea as being relatively well-behaved

north korea launched the taepodong-1 missile in 1998 and the taepodong-two in 2009. some parts flew over japan into the pacific ocean. the document says the success of two launches demonstrate the north's advanced technology and determination. the paper said countries around the world are developing programs. it referred to china's docking an unmanned sidewayscraft with aynor bitting module earlier this month. north korea wants to justify long-range missiles and reprisals from the united states or japan. >>> "newsline" is the place to turn to for the latest on japan, post march 11th. we have two segments offering two unique perspectives on the fallout from the earthquake and tsunami.

korea is solely responsible. the newspaper maintains the attack wouldn't have happened if the south had not intruded into north korean waters. last friday, "the rodong sinmun" accused south korea of building up its military near yeonpyeong island. it warned that could trigger all-out war. even though the two countries are at odds, they are still exploring ways to improve relations. so far this year, senior government officials from both sides have held two meetings to discuss north korea's nuclear program. >>> japanese defense ministry workers are busy tracking six chinese naval vessels. the fleet recently passed through international waters between okinawa's main island and miyako island. >>> the u.n. high commissioner for u.n. rights is speaking out against egypt's security forces. he is urging them to stop using excessive force against demonstrators. at least 30 people have been killed in the past five days. protesters in egypt are refusing to give up despite a pledge by the end-term military rulers to hasten the move towards democracy. thousands of people are occupying tahrir square in central cairo, demanding th

the transfer of nuclear materials or material by north korea to states or non-state entities would be considered a grave threat to the united states and our allies, and we would hold north korea fully accountable for the consequences of such action. we see america's enhanced presence across southeast asia -- in our partnership with indonesia against piracy and violent extremism, and in our work with malaysia to prevent proliferation, in the ships we'll deploy to singapore, and in our closer cooperation with vietnam and cambodia, and in our welcome of india as it "looks east" and plays a larger role as an asian power. at the same time, we'll reengage with our regional organizations. our work in bali this week will mark my third meeting with asean leaders, and i'll be proud to be the first american president to attend the east asia summit. and together, i believe we can address shared challenges, such as proliferation and maritime security, including cooperation in the south china sea. meanwhile, the united states will continue our effort to build a cooperative relationship with china.

north korea and other states they want to or can't about you know those missile based bases are being fooled around russian territory and russia says if you want to protect yourself it's a good idea let's have joined in the cell defense which would be very effective given the last of the vast russian territory and the missile technology as russell possesses but the united states is more interested in building this system within nato and of course it's a major concern for russia and the i mean indeed russia has been saying for months now let's make a joint missile system with nato and eventually a resolution of nato recently said you know actually we're going to go it unilaterally here president medvedev has said there is still a possibility for a dialogue on missile defense truly is that still a possibility is it a reality absolutely russia doesn't remove any options from the table including negotiation now actually negotiating is the best well is the best way to resolve any kind of issues but unfortunately united states administration its approach is not very constructive in this con
