that south korea is in a better position. hink south koreans have a lot of soul-searching to do. president yoon needs to build consensus about what the vision is for south korea diplomatic policy and foreign policy, because his vision is not really agreed-upon yet by the public. this drawing closer to the united states and seemingly pushing away from china and russia, although he has not said that himself, that he wants to push away. nastasya: i feel like this is a good time to look specifically at the chinese reaction to all of this. obviously, beijing does not seem furtively pleased. a from the foreign ministry -- what the u.s. is doing provokes competition between camps, undermines the nonproliferation regime, and strategic interests in other countries." there does seem to be a paradox here, because the policy the u.s. has of extended deterrence means china is essentially the only country other than north korea with an active nuclear program in the region. surely -- i know that has not gone unnoticed in beijing. guest: yes,

— south korea? this is the difficult _ south korea? this is the difficult part _ south korea?the democratic state has lots of different views and prime minister kishida expressed his personal view about the colonial period again, this heartfelt sorrow he feels with understanding the past. south koreans themselves, many look at president yoon's reach out to japan are something that is inappropriate, they say the japanese have not repented enough on their colonial past, but others in the south korean context are welcoming greater participation and cooperation with japan to deal with the real challenges in the region. that is weapons of mass destruction proliferation on the korean peninsula and the growing challenge of china within the region, in terms of its economic coercion, its expanding of military presence within the region, and its assuring international law in the south china sea. you touched _ the south china sea. you touched on _ the south china sea. you touched on it. _ the south china sea. you touched on it. meetings. the south china sea. you touched on it. meetings b

in return, south korea agreed to not develop its own nuclear weapons. h korea, who now serves as vice chairman of the us—china economic and security review commission. there is really a like to talk about but i want to start off with north korea because we heard the comments, the rhetoric coming from the sister of kimjong—un. what rhetoric coming from the sister of kim jong—un. what do you make to north korea's reaction to the summit that we saw with the south korean president andrew biden? i the south korean president andrew biden?— the south korean president andrew biden? i think it was to be exnected- — andrew biden? i think it was to be expected. they _ andrew biden? i think it was to be expected. they would - andrew biden? i think it was to be expected. they would be . andrew biden? i think it was to be expected. they would be a i be expected. they would be a strong statement from kim yo—jong. i am surprised there was not more, notjust in a statement but in the action. as a habit, sometimes they make a launch will take some other actual action and n

it's more challenging for south korea. china is south korea's number one trading partner.orea has always been hedging between u.s. and china, just walking a very fine line. it is a very big concern and the president wants more value-based from policy and work with like-minded allies. you mention russia's invasion of ukraine, the region is very complex and complicated and we have north korea and wmd's. there's every reason for south korea and japan to work together in this is a great opportunity. it is not going to be easy because domestically, this is not a popular issue. shery: which makes me think how long will this really last? we have sort of some resolution with the issue of comfort women, women constricted for sex, sex slaves, essentially. sue: that history of comfort women was concluded and when he came in, he scrapped the deal. that was the memory, the japanese thinks about this time around. we know this is an unpopular issue and we have a national assembly election in april. what happens with that election? but president yoon has at least four more years. hopefull

we should be concerned _ well as south korea. we should be concerned about _ well as south korea. ed about north - be concerned about north korea's continued improvement in its nuclear missile capability both in quantity and quality. even if this attempt was not successful, i think north korea will continue in its effort to try to put the reconnaissance satellite in orbit because that is something they have been working on for a while. as i mentioned, it was in their menu plan in 2021 and he tested parts of it last year. he said the satellite itself wasn't complete in april this year. this is something they have been fighting for it well and i think they will continue, unfortunately. naoko aoki thank— continue, unfortunately. naoko aoki thank you _ continue, unfortunately. naoko aoki thank you for _ continue, unfortunately. naoko aoki thank you forjoining - continue, unfortunately. naoko aoki thank you forjoining us i aoki thank you forjoining us in programme. moving now to the latest on the war in ukraine. moscow has been targeted by multiple drones in the biggest such attack sinc

uh, south korea. and then there's also the big issue of trade agreements where you have on the one hand, a countries like germany and japan, but would like to see more free trade agreements. and on the other side, you have countries like the us that do not want to pursue that route. and here it is, the big questions, whether you will be next of the trade agreement, for instance, with indonesia is, is moving forward at a sluggish speed at the moment. and so there will also be discussions here on the economic front yard. thank you very much. good to see you get lots of us. are a specific bureau chief in sol, solved career, a single look at some other stories making headlines around the world to day. authorities in the french island territory of my aunt had begun demolishing homes and a large slum. it's part of an operation to send large numbers of undocumented migrants from the island of africa's east coast, back to a neighboring tomorrow. following a stand off with france, the come orient, government h

ali rajabi of radio and television agency and mahori from south korea. representatives of a number of parties and civil groups demonstrated in the capital of south korea against the military alliance of the first country with the united states and japan, according to reuters news agency. the protesters gathered in front of the south korean parliament and asked the country's government to refrain from a military alliance with the us and japan. they called the military alliance between the three countries a source of tension. this demonstration was held on the eve of the japanese prime minister's visit to south korea. becoming this trip it is to prepare the preparations for the tripartite meeting of the leaders of japan, south korea and the united states and the start of a tripartite military alliance, but on friday, the bankruptcy of american banks caused the stock value of another american bank to fall by more than 43%, according to cnn tv, akbar is another bank that is caught the wave of instability and crisis in the american banking sector, this bank,

um, cuz she got to south korea. um, the 2 sides really seemed set to, to embark on a new journey towards more stability after 10 years of frankly, quite difficult relationship. so you mentioned the us clearly, this is in the interest of the f. washington's in the pacific strategy. i mean, how much pressure do you think has they've been from the us on these 2 countries to make sure relations improve? oh, quite a bit. and i think that pressure, uh, the united states has been quite open about, you know, trying to get its allies to gets along and to improve their relations over the last 10 years. going back to the premises, i present brock obama. uh, same thing for president donald trump, um the officials in washington dc were constantly talking about their desire for a better relations between soul and told joe, but the reality is as much as the washington is a key ally for these both countries. it has limited leeway when it comes to what it can do in the bilateral relations between soul and tokyo. so regardless of the

south korea is visited the border between north and south known as the demilitarized zone regional. tensions are growing as north korea wraps up developments of its nuclear arsenal. this your launch on getting has carried out over 20 miss file test shots as the fire and show the situation on the korean peninsula is still dangerous. these of on this, this will test these ballistic tests have to stop the these individual attempts at nuclear rearmament have to stop. this is a, this is a threat to peace and security in this region. and i'm very happy to be able to talk to the government of south korea. zipcode. yes. question. come german chancellor. all i shall speaking there in south korea, dw is the asia pacific bureau chief york methodist is with us the chance, or rather on his trip to south korea. and you're giving us some idea of, of what the atmosphere was like when old actual, to visited a historic border between south and north korea. the size of course, a very special atmosphere in this d militarized zone. as it is, it's called is a very special moment if you stand on north korean soils

what if it falls in south korea, japan? people here are killed.lation. so generally, the idea of proposed once around maybe try to shoot one of these down that's been sort of pushed aside. people sort of said we shouldn't do it. and so that's why these things keep happening. it's not clear to me how we can get the south korea, the north koreans to stop doing this. they're already technically illegal under un security council resolutions, but the north koreans don't pay attention to that. and the sanctions, the north koreans are good enough at getting around sanctions that they can do these tests. we've seen that for years. so the short answer is no, there's not really much we can do. shooting run down would be pretty risky. just briefly, does this launch feel different at all to you? 0nly because of the almost hysterical overreaction at the very beginning. i mean, north korean missile tests are, , fairly normal. i don't actually think the north koreans would launch a first strike in south korea. the idea that like there's an incoming missile that'

it doesn't like the fact that the us, south korea and japan are more aggressive in the way they deal th north korea. that said, this spy satellite has been on kim's wishlist for two years, he wanted to develop and use it, south korea and the united states as a cheap excuse to plough ahead with his goals. i also spoke to naoko aoki, an associate political scientist at the rand corporatio. she explained what it means when it is stated that the north fired a space vehicle. this development, if it is indeed a spy satellite, is very significant because the last time they launched a vehicle into space was in 2016, and at that point we, the outside world, were worried that north korea was improving its ballistic missile capabilities and using space launch vehicles as an excuse. now, today, north korea has made considerable improvement in ballistic missile technology and now we have to worry about another thing — north korea potentially having better information—gathering technologies. it's a significant development and one north korea has been planning for a while now. have we heard any reac

if it works next time, tell us what this will mean for south korea to well for south korea is a threat in terms of non terms of the railings. exactly, because we're not quite sure what kind of high resolution image is by now i can bring it down to north korea. so it's not, it's not going to immediately go during the work is the fact the act for thursday, but it is a threat and that they have speed it for the 1st time in los angeles a by and by light. that's also a big issue. and also just having more kinds of rocket launch is that the problem because they're very similar to the i b m last time. so the more for you is really holding your skills to march and as you're comfortable to the listing missile. mm hm. all right, journalists communes and in so thank you so much about that. take a look now. some of the other stories and making headlines around the world and police here in germany have a rest of 7 alleged supports as of the so called is lumnick states. the anti terrorism operation involved raids across 10 german states. the suspects are being investigated for being part of a networ

for rocket, the missile never made any near south korea.- any near south korea.ime at which _ any near south korea. for the time at which the _ any near south korea. for the time at which the people - any near south korea. for the time at which the people of. time at which the people of seoul believe they were under threat, —— is it clear what people in the city are expected to do and how they are expected to do and how they are expected to respond to such an alert and to respond to such an alert and to the sirens?— to the sirens? there is about a 20 minute _ to the sirens? there is about a 20 minute period _ to the sirens? there is about a 20 minute period between - to the sirens? there is about a 20 minute period between the| 20 minute period between the air raid sirens going off and us receiving the message to say it had been a mistake and at this time there was a lot of confusion and people were unclear what to do and that's because people here have lived with the threat of north korea for 70 years, so many people here have become desensitised and are so used

the shuttle diplomacy is back on track between south korea and japan which had the last former visit a former japanese premier was in 2011. they will be discussing -- yesterday they started off with discussing north korea as well as semiconductor cooperation. this is a significant win for biden who had been seeking two key allies to cooperate on the north korean front as well as on the trade and the chips corporation to undercut the growing power from china. david: semiconductor cooperation, two words, 10 syllables. what does it mean? what happened exactly? >> south korea and japan are both treading carefully here. the delicate balance between china which is their biggest trading partner and with the u.s. which is their key security ally. biden has been seeking sweeping curbs from these two partners on some of the key elements that go into the semi conductors to tame china from obtaining some of these advanced chips technology. south korean president sagar has been a supporter of these attempts from washington. south korea has been in favor of these asia strategies from joe biden whi

all last year old speaking in south korea. you know, all the w a is the asia pacific bureau chief, george mathis told me more about schultz, this trip to the border between south and north korea. the size of cause a very special atmosphere in this d militarized zone. as it is, it's called is a very special moment if you stand on the north korean soils literally because you have to understand those barracks uh, that are set up there are huff on south korean hop on last reinstall. and that is exactly where the drum and drums level standing today. it's talking about how he was removed in that situation. and there's practically 2 reasons. there's most of all you've already mentioned. it's of the geo political tensions, the nuclear island on the north korean sides. that is a big concern for germany and of course, from south korea. and there is, of course, the factor of him being germany, and i have to say as a drum and citizen, if you, if you stand and that's in that area, are surrounded by grim looking soldiers. a feeling these mil

the leaders of japan and south korea hold the 2nd summit in less than 2 months. the so low that i will look to south asia and that's very what whether it's come to southern parts of the region. in particular, southern india, an sri lanka, that springs to a system that's developing in the bay or bang goal. it hasn't yet got itself together. but it is still going to bring some very heavy rain to southern areas. we could see some flooding from that. so the noise of this, an improving picture of an old in areas of india and pakistan with fondest one watches remain on monday by tuesday. it is looking much clara with, with lots of sunshine for us on this, on pockets done in northern areas of india. now the heat continues for the northeast with temperatures in cases like the dish and me and lot reaching up to record level. so this time of year, 40 degrees in doc of that well above the average of the heat continues that we can move to east asia. it has been a story of heat for the south west of china. but you can see the arrival of move weather by the time we get into mon

to respond to this to have lots of cooperation between south korea, through united states in japan is essential. evan jones, on his arrival in south korea, casita paid his respect to the national cemetery, that commemorates soldiers killed in the korean war, but also independence fighters during decades of japanese colonial rules. it's partly because of that legacy and south korea is suffering joy of world war 2 that lead to relation souring in recent years and the cube and has been trying to repass . there is also a sense of kind of fatigue over these repeated requests by south korea, for greater apologies on the side of japan. um, overall there's been more a desire on the part of the japanese public and the japanese government to move on from this difficult relationship. improving relations that to you and visiting casita in tokyo in mid march. as long as we will get on the, in accordance with the direction present to unit i showed at the march meeting, japan, south korea dialogue and cooperation have dynamically progressed in less than 2 monitors. no, i don't you materials pushed t

and doing now by a journalist, frank smith in south korea's capital. so frank alarm sirens and sold preparations for evacuations. wasn't that's a little over the top in these cuts as well. leaving south korea's interior ministry admitted it was over the top when a sol city issued that evacuation for a sol residence. um in addition to an evacuation order following that, what was a text message? 0202 people in the south green capital. there were thousands of searches that took place on neighbor, a popular mobile phone search engine so much so that it crashed, leading to concerns about the sharing of information in such a period of hyphened attention. but still, it was a little bit over the top. that being said, we need to recognize there is an element of risk here. we've had a large scale joined us. so 3 military exercises launches of missiles from north korea, followed by launches of missiles from south korea. some of which uh, so 3 missiles went off course one landing 700 meters from a residential area. another completely lost. busy in flight, so when

it's the first official visit by a japanese leader to south korea in more than a decade. rule are buried. that was followed by talks with the south korean president. the two countries have had strained relations for the past ten years, largely dominated by colonial—era disputes. south korea was colonised byjapan from 1910 until the end of world war ii. now, growing security threats appear to have prompted the leaders to try mend diplomatic ties. let's hear from them. translation: between japan and south korea there - are numerous historical aspects and circumstances. as the prime minister ofjapan i think it is my duty that we carry on efforts that came before us to overcome difficult times to work with president yoon and the korean side. translation: both countries are exposed to north korea'sl nuclear threats. security cooperation is more important now than ever before. i spoke earlier to professor stephen nagy — he's an expert injapanese foreign policy at the international christian university in tokyo. he reflected on the importance of the visit and how other global po

the launch caused wide spread concern in south korea and japan with a lot of science sounding a mid fee, is that a ballistic missile from north korea could be targeting those countries. international sanctions and united nations resolutions prohibit north korea from developing missiles, but it has continued to do so with several villages taking place in recent months. i asked journalist frank smith in so if he thought the evacuation alerts in south korea or an over reaction to the launch attempt as well, leaving south korea's interior ministry admitted it was over the top. when a sol city issued that evacuation for a sol. ready residence um, in addition to an evacuation order following that, what was a text message? 02. 02 people in south green capital. there were thousands of searches that took place on neighbor, a popular mobile phone search engine so much so that it crashed, leading to concerns about the sharing of information uh in such a period of hyphened attention. but still, it was a little bit over the top. that being said, we need to recognize there is an element of risk here.

the north focus on emerging markets and every time i see south korea, it feels odd. risks of seoul korea getting rid of its classification and graduating to the developed market space. >> good morning. what we found out from more than a dozen fund managers and analysts from around the world is there is a bigger risk of foreign out flows and having foreign inflows. if south korea gets an upgrade from msci. now that is because south korea accounts for a huge part of the benchmark. it is the fourth largest member after china, taiwan and india and it accounts for about 12% of the index. that is a pretty big part of the index. if it goes to the index which is now consisting of 23 countries, it could pick one or 2% of the index. and that means a lot of managers will have to sell stocks in south korea and maybe add one stock which is likely to be samsung electronics. that will not be great news for south korea. shery: what is the criteria that msci is using to continue classifying them as em? >> msci uses three big criteria. whether a country belongs to the em oe dm list. o

good to see you on what was really some terrifying moments there in both south korea and japan. i want to take a look at the launch, though first, what could the game have been and since it failed, there's a learning opportunity for north korea though it failed. >> well look, essentially this is the first time that north korea is essentially trying to launch one of the satellites. and it's filed the column irwin launch system that the, used to had a malfunctioning which didn't ignite properly. and the rocket went into the ocean with the satellite. so it did cause concern in south korea. and, they simply don't know what the north koreans are going to doing. and it could've been a ballistic missile tests. and they would've had a no killer war head on that missile. the debris from that massage in south korea, or japan i think that's why the alerts occur. >> actually, there in present danger is to be certainly seen in those cities. and they certainly understand what's at stake here. what does it tell us though in terms of the progress or lack there of that north korea is making in it

and south korea do these military drills, north korea goes into a rhetorical overdrive.me, the joint drills were larger than usual, so north korea's rhetoric was larger than usual. there missile testing pace has been so rapid in the last 12 months. so in japan, they have seen many missiles coming their way, they all fall into the ocean. the difference this time is it was a satellite launch, not a testing of a ballistic missile, and that is the difference. maryam: yes, that's right. actually north korea already signaled its intention to launch its first military reconnaissance satellite which they have completed their work on. how would you describe the sophistication of north korea's weapons program? guest: for an impoverished country, one of the world forest in terms of gdp, a country that is often described as a failing state, they have a very sophisticated military technology, especially at the upper end, in missiles and nuclear weapons. they have not yet unable to put up a military reconnaissance satellite that works. they have tried to put satellites up, but they ha
