a big day. so i came to a the daughter of north korean leader kim jong on not long ago, she began accompanying her father to military parades and rocket launches. even though she's believe to be only 11 or 12 years old. the will she take over the helm of the north korean dictatorship one day. and because of the iron grip on power, the kim tennessee has wielded for more than 7 decades. the

the, the funeral is 2022, just 3 months after announcing its 1st case of cobit 19 north korea declared. the pandemic was as a comrade, kim, jo, john, vice president of the central committee of the workers party of korea to do comrade new states in the no, no, no,

just review the 7 days of battle against the pandemic sheep and the last 9 to one days i witnessed many dramatic situations and was hoping to get him to substitute on that or this was the 1st be challenge by came jones. younger sister came jo joan, on north korean television when she spoke about her brother's recovery from cove it many in the audience. when you wanna listen when say hello to and it didn't do any also send you the total time she will give you a piece or she'll those with terrible moments when i was unable to help. ah, great need to put on want to do more session and most of were posted. you have to confront the crisis alone, missing a times distraught and despairing, which is going. so i'm going through. these are so some of the to do with him. you, joan, is deputy director of the propaganda administrator. not a pop to her brother. she's widely regarded as the countries number to leader. since 1948 to 3 generations of the came family every the democratic people's

republic up north korea. without absolute power, good deals to meet on the cutting under the, to the stairs. or what are you talking about? controls. korea doesn't have a monica. you'll get a so it doesn't have a royal family. instead, they trace their lineage back to what they call the amount back to the top line. you go to look at a symbolism don't within the kind of more than one video, the change. and now that is

a place of pilgrimage for policy members in north koreans coverage new. so many of you so much in such similar to stuff gets revered as the place where kim il sung, stand with it. and that the resistance against the japanese occupation is also regarded as the birthplace of can you tell me, you know, you'll get a, someone just to lift this problem, go to the question you sonya when you see the power mills. so and kim jong hill thing is we're going to the site right now. as is this mountain, it's similar to what leslie had to manage the christians, get some joy. this founding miss help secure the kim families hold on power, which is not quite as secure as it would be under a mama key to to nastic dictatorship, had to create its own cult of personality and already the oh

also no truly it will include those who put the source on it to the, to the new to me to the propaganda message was repeated in chinese, japanese, spanish and english move intended to suggest the north koreans that its leaders were also reviewed abroad. the climbing back to the sacred revolution of the mountain. jim is 7 said with emotion whenever i climbed mount factor, i think of come re jimmy, jump in to mount back to it as best placed on the trailing whately and richard his courage mount back to it's jim junior's mountain. at the same time. s being jim in a sense of mountain, the owners of

the entire family stand united at the helm of north korea, kim il sung, and his son came, joan ill on the present and unforgotten giant marvels of them. what even installed on the stage of the supreme people's assembly every decision made by came john own and his sister just came jo jones, i was an extension of the dentist do that as role the country for well over a half a century on your to do this all, the kim tennessee began with came also do

a 1948 became the leader and founding father of north korea. in the 19 sixty's, a call to personality a matched which then to dictate to an almost god like status to this day came l. so it's still regarded as supposed to bring him added tunnel, the to of north korea. in 1994, the sun came, joan ill assumed power. according to legend, he was born on mount peck too, and was possessed of a powerful intellect and accomplishments. the

camry, jim juno is an outstanding philosopher, statesman, and leader. but most of tile talents and capabilities is not only the greatest ideological and see a red. the genius of the present time is the greatest man schumann history has ever produced. the greatest a man we're supposed in all the change on ill died in 2011. his youngest son, 27 year old tim jones on became his successor at the time he was a complete unknown in north korea and abroad. but kim jong il had already paid the way by making strategic appointments to key positions before his death. the

as well as the a, you have the tools and acquisition off. he was very young, senior with internet society and which seen yours who was extremely important. lots of to that was a problem for him versus guns and the others also like you to tier to kind of wrapped up by dressing very conservatively. um for the we try to model himself and his grandfather in appearance, you know as a young man that length with some authority to my mind. cuz they are the, the, the, to the time that a full lender. nobody knew him. so suddenly he had looked a lot like gmail, so a dream go even lost completely stopped. or is that a candidate though?

that's every public, a parent doing kim jong. he's like his grandfather and spoke like him to talk to him. no, i'm gonna go to live over there. get a minute just i'm going to go with you in a demonstration of power. kim jones on dismissed a number of functionaries. ready ready ready and ordered the arrest of his influential uncle james song tax. in december 2013, his uncle was executed for unmatched corruption. even the north korean press, domestic coverage was perennially slanted to the positive reported on james execution. the king john succeeded. is his father. you know, he's a young man,

we had information that he had gone to school in switzerland. we thought maybe this is a more customer politan sake here who understand the international community. maybe he wanted better relations with the world. we were wrong. it turns out kim john, on is the most aggressive of the 3 cams came jump on, installed his closest confidence at the center of power. above all, his sister came jo jones. the 2 of them had attended school together in switzerland and forged the relationship of unconditional trust. the only vacation saw that if anything were to happen to came john own his sister would be his successor. ensuring that the came finally would retain its hold on power.

the can't even give obesity the commutable one for the sale in north korea. there are 2 levels of legislation. today's, 1st of all we have a constitution, bunch of populated states. but north korea is a republican with general and secret election long drawn to kind of the 2nd level is the parties that you choose. they state that the party leadership is hereditary samouce, and each generation comes from the camp family time evil, to quote one, to cut off. so the party is based on the ideology of kim il sung, and kim jong is, is supposed to work on behalf of they're interested in, well,

and not the interests of the north korean people pounds. you're going to kind of time to go from both of the parties, statute clearly outbreaks. the constitution would be found. anyone who joins the party in north korea must swear to sacrifice everything to ensure that the regime is preserved from one generation to the next 2 years. didn't you say so you go to so more than go through a bunch of drywall. i mean that's how the north korean system works is kind of in a cool once you get it. so across the similar to and i don't know which the north koreans out as part of the regime that those dates are. legions to the king dentistry. under law, day in and day out north to reinstate television. broadcast propaganda, images of a happy and prosperous people on the but the reality is more complex. the,

according to united nations reports in north koreans are obligated to keep watch over the neighbors and denounce any misbehavior. this network of mutual surveillance is intended to maintain control over the population and preserve an image of national pride and contentment the the task they create unit to 5 families, monitoring and chava should stay above that payment on the units of 60 families. the mean time dining because even in pennsylvania beach headache,

every admin button has a unit tab, you should always know what's happening in every house. so most people in the comes in, in the us has templates which minute to just go in and system people look at this system of surveillance was created 75 years ago. which attempt is evolved into a true system entirely. a mental condition which is tempted wouldn't go still the, there's no civil society, there's nothing on which, for example, and universities or religion or all the areas where we, we often see revolution get going. the north korea government has shut all of that down. the

freedom of phones is not permitted in north korea. colleagues, neighbors and even family members can turn on one another. according to radio reports, one young man was sentenced to death for smuggling. the south korean t. v series squeeze came into the country. he had been denounced by his parents. most people have no internet access and comp make international phone calls, the kind of the jobs you got, cut them over. we don't use as yet, i'm going to, i mean, in north korea it's, it's not just the convicted person who was punished, but the entire family, which is a diesel telescope. a son is shot for a crime against the fatherland. his parents, siblings and even fellow students can be punished and discriminated against.

believe you buck a tool or a button, you're not. i mean, that could result what those had them to give them. you know, anyone who would be prepared to sacrifice their own life or freedom and democracy really thinks twice before doing anything. so i'll work on that. i will have that are not doing no, they're also putting their entire family at risk equal to a p e. that's why the north koreans don't worry about the quote, you'll already, you'll know this is how the system maintains the status quotes. you can continue to jump in with you. if you are someone who desperately wants to free your people in north korea, maybe if it's just you, you would say, i'm willing to die for that to free my country. but are you willing to kill your grandparents and your children and your aunts and uncles? so that's the terrible, terrible way of control that the regime has over its people. you've done the chickens under the thought of a ton, but they know it as soon as anyone is seen as a threat to execute a new bit on congress without an investigation on a trial or

a judge. yeah, i don't know that about like a statement you that's why came john own was able to order the execution of his uncle johnson's tackle and his half brother to his half brother kim jong, was murdered in 2017 at the airport in malaysia. so is it for the eyes of the entire world. we men in front of a surveillance camera mobilized us because the other opponents end up in labor and re education camps. international organizations estimate there are about 20 such camps in the country. according to the handful of survivors who are able to escape conditions in the caps, re, i think most of the prisoners die of torture or hunger. well as a result of forced labor. it's estimated that between 100200000 opponents of the regime currently incarcerated

simons, i've also kills millions of north koreans most during the 19 ages. and 1990 is statistics like these cars made north korea one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, the, the old of all have under the tunnel. when i arrived in south korea, i heard something i didn't understand called the national committee for human rights. so i asked what it was. no, they were surprised and asked me don't you know, it's an organization that protects our rights as human being utilized to qualify as to why do we need an organization like that they reply to it's normal? isn't there's something like that in north korea because the

they didn't understand the word complaint and every woman dot, we asked the word like 60 women. they didn't understand the work, the words complained. and so we had to really explain them in different boards. what it means and they said that, yeah, you can't, you cannot complain that women's union will complain against you, that you didn't submit enough core tests. so for them complained goes only one way the government can punish or to somehow criticize for not fulfilling certain duties that were they had such as bringing enough coal tests, but they don't have complaint. so they don't understand that in normal country

citizens have a right to complain. ready ready ready ready ready ready ready to north korean capital kiln yang is home to about 3000000 people. ready ready the city lines on the tab on river, which is used as a source of hydro power and irrigation. the city center is a testament to the power of the king, tennessee. the defense ministry recalls north korea's great victories. the center of power is to come to some palace optis on the official military parades are held in its full cost that you che,

tower lies on the other side of the river. j is the official ideology of the north korean regime and means we will talk to you all self reliance is unofficially personality dentist to bring itself street cars, find it to and secure yourself in the, on the selection when they go for the portion of the millage bean, i'm the sizable portion of the military bunch comes way down to the private sector being presented to expand as the like manufacturing sex. time to come go to the gym

door suited us from give to little petune resorted his life in the capital as also changed. ready to city look small west to now, but the strict rules of the regime continue to hold sway these days more and more north koreans own a smartphone. but they can't be used for international calls. and only a few apps off emitted which have to be personally approved by came jones on himself. the more people also call nowadays on sundays the traffic is bulky on yang and usually heavy can hold. passion. not

modalities, not observe ations i 2 years and from difficulty and usually best as long as of 8 and 5 very low. the dimension thought i saw some sions. lift and gotten near on the other nice a long talk with the p on young is this miss? north korea is the nice design does not proved everywhere for the elite live is on the board of elite for them. understood some 1st you go to north korea and do the 2 joe continued duty,

but i clearly prefer that it can go into the can you having this? how much do you mind yourself? 130 k o it took a military one. take care of joan football. as liver lies to promote to the market, it to god you know, such and get them was. so that's why they pay more hope on have to joe into when you and then seller cuz i'm on the printer so. so if i selected this all, i'm assuming duty, can you tell me what done and don't wanna do? so question don't mind then to dig, i'm gonna support the whole for the, from the deputy on national television. the regimes propaganda machine offers a steady flow of evidence of progress in the country. on every tv channel, the news cost describes the opening of factories and buildings and cutting symbols

anytime to the cities. new bosses also get the fashion of attention. yes, when you came jo moon even made a personal appearance to inspect them. before the camera come up, you'll still get you can, they're going to be that it wouldn't be nice to meet. you get closer to the nubile determination of the policy and it you love. so the people has killed a different reality. goliad pointed to that goes with theda, the ne, cuz she got so little is happened on the north korean media has definitely become more modern hot in and then you communion that wasn't gonna commit you to draw so fast cuts make television shows look much livelier than before the, we'll talk again the just some because all this to get in on the instead of just one tv channel,

there are now for you to view as can choose between different shows, which helps lands greater credibility to the programming. and even the country's most famous and as being swept top in the winds of change when you have them to choose the gets all to come read kim jones stood for commentary, a photo with the workers of korean television. this was and this applause and then towards the younger you to put in the box since the 1973 to he has presented the country's most important news. torres. and yet you don't have got some, you know, don't we will fight against the enemy. tell go, you did tell them that you reported on everything from nuclear missile tests to the meeting between kim jones on the tv stations, employees for me to reach him. he was 2 days later,

patient ceremony straight to preach him he then the regime station 3 the guess that you didn't o told the there was will walk up. you didn't or him, john himself told the there was nothing more valuable than such a loyal worker who's been working in the media for 50 years and not a little bit of a vehicle that men of depended on its own video guy. you go tightening the go to menu, and so i didn't have to go to all of the press in north korea serves a special purpose, could be the media professionals. who do i have to proudly call themselves the trumpeters of the revolution. to me only put you all how cool,

good. i made sure what you do. it's a, it's their job to support the revolution $100.00 and burnished the image of the great leader duty and mobilize the population, speak, carlos, acumen, and then an issue. and hopefully soon you the take them to pay younger to him. so tell me that the thing that his job had along with news programs, north korean t. v. awesome grow costs, major propaganda events. sometimes mandatory parades often civilian events. a little boy entry from the yoke or country. i mean he couldn't see what it meant to convey stronger

but i'm interested in that he did not in a japanese carolina took like a power to you . mostly you put your baked regime leaks into the country. you're calm to receive a pump times t v series.

the korean t v series k pump videos are circulating widely the south korean activists regularly send helium balloons across the border along with pamphlets. the balloons sometimes carries us be steaks with western entertainments . the country is the new leap crumbling. of course, it's as most north koreans know that south korea is richard, because of it you go. most of them have seen a tv series from the south where, you know, and you thought what can they do with the bible? any resistance is punishable by death, would you consolidate? preferred to remain silent? taken for this was all the religion to maintain

itself. image knowles, korea as gold itself, off from foreign influence, the population is almost entirely sealed off from the outside world. then all limited to travel or use the internet, the toilet to come in and to put in those are that were in the can get writes off to mobile phones were introduced to you put in the most possible to use a form network across the north korean but on my lunch or dinner on that network of people, quick download south korean videos or american film, some spare cell phones, like from one day to the next correspond deal. so once he's realized what was happening kind of help and they created their own closed internet system to put it up to continue it. cutting pundits are towing. well, jim jones, you knew his way around computer stuff like that. knew it was the technology of the future. cool. you limit suggestions,

he understood the computer and communicate clearly so. so, so to community or re. so what kind of inquiry hosted germany issue in the germany found basis and so the telephone calls are yeah, this is 3 and half of it. so like that, overall part of room or other, this is the image that you must assess information extra new idea of what yeah. forced to them definitely into 20 ition law.

the q sion is that the law punishable by public execution or internment in a labor camp. the regime, the intensified repression, was for success. the number of people who attempted to flee the country dwindled, the monitoring. but don't know, i'm going to set it up. when you read north korea, newspapers, that's hopefully any news about what's happening on the other side of the florida. now mind age 6 up the road owns in the newspapers used to include news or south korea. you see, that's ended in 2020 and then how long the north koreans recall the neighbors in the south items koreans who are rich, the now we're going to and that's why the north camino authorities keep a tight rein on information about south korea. clinton to present a north korean identity, you're going to get

a dentist for . ready for the 26000000 residents of north korea, every aspect of life is strictly regulated. even the children are indoctrinated. the from the very start, they learn the stories about the great leaders and the power of the came dentist, a get through to got some bordering to the preschool children learned, but they came family roles. the country attempts to bust me the critical i to addressing the kind of every morning school children read the portraits of kim jong . you sent to me a. so what you saw and go to the 2nd because he said,

just kind of brain washing is on the present. some early child toad and you don't till death or your eyes of a po. we're the guys, it's own savannah case or you. it's very cool. the cool children between 6 and 15 members of the korean childrens union, a political organization with ties to the workers body on important public days, 3rd graders across the country take part in initiations that room and is the both boys and girls with the red scarf of the young pioneers, they agreed to find none less, then came jump on himself to north koreans. this is the most important day of that

childhood. the at 17 most north korean boys voluntarily enlist in the military as a demonstration of their loyalty to the states. the moultrie and men generally says to 80 is the longest mandatory military service in the world, the find a time to join the military. the young soldiers are usually fully indoctrinated

that a steady diet of propaganda videos to hone their will to find the for the, for within that north korea is an economically weak country with a small population. it could be total possible south korea and united states have

long underestimated the country and still claim that the only thing north korea has or nuclear weapons, to cut on of what north koreans are bred to be very tough job. you're con, they're incredibly determined and have a strong instinct for survival. you under to. yeah. so even when you turn on the plus, they've grown up in a diagnostic system completely isolated from the outside world. and those are the tools, their mentality is very simple and direct. you know, you can g com, they're very loyal to their country. them everything they do is a matter of life and death. toyota, oh, wait, oh, you'll get the internet with them. when you decide to do that, and the people of north korea support the regime north korea's nuclear program takes the lion's share of the country's results is within the regimes propaganda. it's a necessary sacrifice take. you don't

need it. it has a career. it's a 1993. i joined the north korean or the to the home address. that's when i learned the phrase nuclear weapons. it's not the new. what would they told us that the american invaders wanted to conquer our beautiful country? and attack us with strange biological weapons and 3 weeks from industry. and we were told us to go to protect ourselves. we needed the nuclear weapon to work for you. you don't get to the chip to change. i don't want you to test to miss on, which is a set of write it in the media and all parts of the country's national identity. if we sound reporting about missile launches and increase military exercises,

the ideology would collapse. it's a constant form of brain washing to ensure that the people remain submissive in ensuring that no one in the country would data question. the regime's power is a political strategy and a life insurance policy against the rest of the wells, the palmed, with a compulsory loyalty of its own people like him, dentist, he is determined to keep the rest of the world. but alms lines, the
