paula hancocks is live in seoul, south korea. good morning, paula. >> reporter: hello, ali.aphed event. this sort of pomp and ceremony is what north korea does best, and it newspaper that the rekne world would be watching this very closely. we saw kim jong-un, the supreme leader, referred to by state media, walking alongside his father's hearse and accompanied just behind him, his uncle, expected to be his keeper, his regent at the beginning of his reign as he's not even 30 and has very little military and political experience. and also on the other side the hearse question see some of the military leadership. the head of the military at the front. so this really was a chance for north korea to show that they believe there is stability. they believe that this succession has gn gone according to script. of course, it's impossible to know what's happening behind the scenes because all we get to see is what north korean television is showing us. we did see tens of thousands of mourners on the streets of pyongyang. a very snowy pyongyang. many of them extremely emotional. em peo

clearly, paula, we're looking at continuing tensions there. how is that -- how do you perceive that on the ground? >> well, charles, certainly where i am at the moment this is close to the demilitarized zone. it is a very tense border and north korea is three kilometers or two miles behind me across the river. you can't see theville raj now as there's no electricity on at this point. it's one thing the u.s. and korean military is watching closely. any movement they can see in north korea really is one of the very few windows they have into this very secretive state. it's very difficult for them to be able to get much information out. now, obviously, what they're watching at the moment is what the whole world is watching. that is, the photos and the footage that we saw earlier on north korean television of kim jong-il lying in state. also, seeing kim jong-un his son paying respects and giving a moment of silence along with the leadership of the state and the military and also the party. it is the fear of the unknown at this point. no one quite

paula, what does this mean, exactly? >> reporter: manisha, the japanese prime minister has already announced that the fukushima power plant has in fact achieved a cold shutdown. he announced that just a couple hours ago within a government task force. right now he's talking to the nation and giving the japanese people news. a cold shutdown means that the temperature within the reactors, those crippled reactors after the march 11th earthquake and tsunami are below boiling point, below 100 degrees centigrade, which is over a certain period of time. what we've heard from the prime minister is that the fukushima power plan the now is in a stable condition and that the situation has been brought under control. also saying that the radiation exposure at the periphery of the plant is at low levels and will remain at low levels even if there is another accident or another natural disaster. it is a milestone but many critics, many experts, do say that we shouldn't get too carried away by this. there are still years and decades of
