north koreans released this confession, likely forced by newman, admitting his afill ways with the white tigers. for newman the war is history. but for north koreans, newman was an enemy of the state. the two countries never signed a peace treaty, and tec technicaly still at war and his release would need the permission of kim jong-un. >> we ask you give him time to be with his family. we askl be moments before he's reunited with family and back at home. >> i'm sure it will be a scene once he arrived there. let's talk about the timing of his release, the timing happening all while vice president biden was in the region. although he said, i had no direct connection to this happening. give us a background, context for this. is a coincidence? >> well, it appears to be a very strong coincidence. you can imagine with vice president biden in agency, he might be involved in the negotiations in the release of merrill newman. but he said he was not involved in the negotiations. he was in south korea. china is viewed as the country with the largest potential to influence north korea. it is north korea's

army unit known as the white tigers during the korean war. a video released by north korea's state-run media shows the korean war veteran reading an apology asking for forgiveness for allegedly willing north korean soldiers and civilians during the war. because the peace treaty was never signed, they say the war is not over, thus newman is technically a prisoner of war. >> you can understand from looking at the way in which mr. newman was treated that for the north koreans in some sense the war is not over. it may have been over for mr. newman, but not for them. we have a very tense relationship given north korea's nuclear program. the tense relationship between north korea and south korea which is our ally, and all those things impact the situation to which mr. newman walked in. >> newman's family says in a statement that the 85-year-old reports he's being treated well and that the food is good. newman has been detained since late october when north korean officials took him off a plane as he was getting ready to leave the country. >>> the w

he was part of the white tigers, and who were so secret that no one new about them in the 1990s when documents were declassified. for the north koreans, they never signed a peace treaty with the united states. their propaganda tells them that war is emanant with the united states and it could begin at any point. that's what north korea has been saying. >> now they have still have another american as well. tell bus that. >> this is kenneth bay, the other american--now the only american being held in north korea. what is very enlightening about the case is that the north koreans had decided to release merrill newman who was involved in the north korean war and possibly killed north koreans. but kenneth bay is a missionary teaching christianity. and that is a crime. he has a sentence of 15 years in prison. >> 15 years. we'll continue to follow that story, and we'll keep an eye open for when mr. as mrs. newman arrived home. >>> turning to afghanistan. the security agreement between the two countries will be signed in a timely fashion. hagel arrived in afghanistan this morning. afghan pre

koreans released this video, likely forced, by merrill newman, admitting his affiliation to the white tigers. ancient history. for north korea, ever mill tarized and ready to fight off the impeerials. the two countries are technically at wars having not signed a peace treaty, and his release likely required the personal approval of kim jong un. why north korea decided to let merrill newman go now is a mystery. >> after he comes home and has a chance to get well-deserved rest. we'll have more to say about his unusual and difficult journey. for now, though, we ask you to allow us time to be with him and ask that you not forget another american kenneth bae still adelaide in the dprk. >> kenneth bae sentenced to prison. he was caught proceeding the word of christianity, the missionary deemed a greater threat than soldiers merrill newman. merrill newman missed thanksgiving. happily for his family and wife he returns in time for the holidays. >> syria's neighbours may be struggling with refugees heading one place is trying to attract this ex over 1,000 arrived in the gaza strip since the war began

we hear that merrill newman was part of a special unit called the white tigers. military intelligence stole secrets - we didn't know about the group until the 1990s. so from the north korean perspective they consider merrill newman, even though he's advanced in age, a serious enemy. from the north korean perspective and because of their propaganda they believe they are in imminent danger from an attack by the united states, they never sooned a peace treaty with america and believe in the threat from united states. >> in terms of kenneth bay, he was not a soldier. he spread the word of christianity. what we are learning is the north koreans consider that a bigger threat. he spread the word of christianity where the political religion is jujay. the question is when or if kenneth bay will ever be released. >> joe biden welcomed the decision and called for the release of kenneth bay. >> now to the passing of nelson mandela. you are seeing live pictures where people from all over the world are gathering in johannesburg celebrating his life with dance, prayer and a pho

they're called the white tigers. newman was part of that unit. he would have likely trained the gorillas. he kept in touch with some of the koreans he trained during the war. this photo provided to us shows the 85-year-old veteran posing with former gorillas. he went to south korea twice in the past decade before making the trip into north korea in october. >> i think it was probably a s mistake for mr. newman to go back to north korea. there's still some very hard feelings about this whole operation that took place during the korean war. the north koreans are not particularly receptive to folks who have been a part of those units. >> reporter: officials have been detaining him since late october. he was detained just as he was boarding a plane to leave. we'll here from experts about the possible political implications of his detention. >>> thank you. vice president joe biden has a week long trip planned to asia this week, including a stop in south korea. there's no word at this point if he plans to discuss or meet with anyone regarding mr. newma

he reportedly served in a top secret army unit called the white tigers. the u.s. and north korea don't have formal diplomatic replaces. 60 years ago, an armistice agreement was signed to end the war, but there was never a peace treaty, meaning he could be held as a prisoner of war. north korea arrested him for "hostile acts against the state." his family talked about newman's visit with the swedish ambassador saying it's giving them hope he is in good health. according to a statement issued by the family, the 85-year-old reports he's "being treated well and that the food is good." officials have been detaining newman since october. he was on vacation there, getting ready to leave the country, when officials reportedly took him off the plane. just yesterday, video of the korean war veteran surfaced, shows him reading an apology. an expert says it's clear these were not his words. >> clearly a forced confession. the language is not the language that would be used by an american and some of the syntax and the grammar made no sense. >> reporter: in the video, he asks

north koreans released this concession video by merrill newman, admitting his association to the white tigers. for newman, the war was ancient history. at the ready to fight off american propaganda. the two countries are technically at war, not having signed a peace treaty, and require the personal approval of kim jong un. why they decided to let merrill newman go now is a mystery. >> i'll have a chance to get a rest. he'll have more to say about his unusual and difficult journey. for now, though, we ask you to allow us time to be with him as a family and that you not forget another american, still healed in the dprk. >> kenneth bae, sentenced to prison. caught spreading the word of christianity. >> merrill newman missed thanksgiving, and considering north korea's unpredict ability, would be let go. happily he returned in time for the holidays. >> winter weather has taken hold across much of the country, disrupting travel, knocking out power and setting low temperatures. heidi jo-castro joins us. dallas was hit hard by the ice storm. >> that's right. in your home town there was 75,000 people

he served as a white tiger and that's the distinction that the north koreans caught. >> how did he secureis release? >> for the moment we don't know too much of the details about his release by vice president biden who was in asia did comment that he was not personally involved in the negotiations. with the north koreans it's difficult to tell what motivates them. some believe that it's kim jong-un who makes a decision, especially with the american detainees. i think in the coming days when he is ready, in the future we might get an enter idea what what prompted the north koreans to free him. i should add there is another american held in north korea. kenneth bay is in the middle of serving a 15 year sentence. >> we'll let you go. thank you very much. >>> now syrian activists say an attack by government jets have killed 20 people in the city of raka. they say dozens of people have been wounded. rebels took over the city in march. it was the only major enabled not entirely under control since the conflict began in 2011. >> syrian nuns are being held after being taken from their village. >>

information was only declassified in the early '90s when they started writing a book entitled "white tiger -- my secret war in korea." it isn't uncommon for u.s. veterans to keep in with the koreans they trained. this photo was given to us. it shows him posing with other guerrillas. >> there was a really close bond theen twoez men. >> this was his first known trip to north korea. >> i think it was a mistake for him to go back into north korea and make it known that he had been a part of this secret unit, because they are, from what i understand, still some bad feelings about this guerrilla operation that took place during the korean war. and the north koreans really are not particularly receptive to folks who had been a part of those units. >> i think this is political theatre. >> uc berkeley political science professor steven weber says it really doesn't matter why they detained him. what matters is that he's now in north korea's custody. although no one is going to say out loud that's what it is, both sides know exactly that's what it is. >> how this will play out weber says is uncertain
