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 and arms 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 dmc, 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 the, the same family, the launch, the war is still in charge. now how the kids family is currently the only communist dynasty, the jim jones own rules just like his father and grand father before him with a to tell a terry and cult of personality and an iron fist using i

reporter: south africa's lawyers were unequivocal. palestinians did not need words or diplomacy, they needed an urgent intervention by this court to ensure palestinians right to life under the genocide convention was protected. the reason why they are focusing on rafah in these provisional measures requests is because they say it is the last refuge which has not been destroyed. the only remaining center of humanitarian aid, host of one of the only functioning hospitals in gaza. therefore, they said rafah is central to sustaining palestinian life. without, there is no possibility of reconstruction. caitriona: let's talk about what is happening in the hague. we speak to the former chief precutor of the international criminal court. thank you for joining a spirit south africa is bringing a separate case accusing israel of committing genocide in gaza. on this matter, is seeking an order from the human's top court to order israel to stop its offensive and allow unimpeded access to gaza for aid workers and investigators. what does south afr

jennifer: south africans have been used to this.inner by candlelight, pulling up to traffic lights that go dark all due to frequent electricity cuts that have disrupted lives, impacting economic growth and prompting criticism from mining companies to retailers. just last year, the power utility company could only keep the lights on for the equivalent of 82 days. but with an election on the horizon, south africans have been enjoying a rare streak of uninterrupted electricity supply. opposition parties have used the power crisis as fodder in the run-up to the poll, and voters have become suspicious as to what lies behind the sudden recovery. nearly two thirds of south african said they would consider not voting for the ruling anc because of power cuts. perhaps it is no surprise that the government is trumpeting this winning streak. but, the improvements have come at an environmental cost. the state has quadrupled the amount it spends on diesel to run emergency power generators. still though, the government insists the improvements are
