the the and you're up to date up next is the documentary looking at north korea's ruling, came into state. i'm tired, reading, berlin, thank you for watching the do big ultima video companies play a role in the destruction of the rain forest. the letter for luxury cost often comes from illegal capital funds in the m, as in yet the supply chains does matter to the deal industry. the illegal of the stats may said on dw good

april 2022. the military parade celebrates the 90th anniversary of the north korean people's army. the with great fanfare dictates, came joan own, presents the west song, 17 intercontinental ballistic missile, a weapon with several nuclear warheads. north korea can use it to attack almost anywhere in the world. it is a clear warning with an unmistakable message to the us, an old enemies of the kid. dentist, date the,

the, the, every yeah. on the 1st of january, the people of pyongyang gather at the moment, showed a monument together. they commemorates the deceased. president's can assume,

and his son, kim jong il and wish them happy new year. the on january, the 1st 2018 current head of state came jump own use is the occasion to make a special speech. it is a clear message from north korea to the well, especially the us we do not have the model number, you're using words, how much media entering the world with using it to obtain needs from was what is pretty good is a new part of the was wait for me, which is the

to join the the interest to the should be like that at the end of 2017 king john and celebrated north korea's nuclear weapons program as a success in his new year's address. a month later, he made it clear that this development had taken place on the instructions of his predecessors to me. in this new year's day speech came joan on the class that the country has now achieved its ultimate goal of becoming a nuclear power and is practically unassailable. even for the us, the it is the fulfillment of a loan held dream of that came in as the north

korea's nuclear program began back in the 1950s with kim il some the founder of the democratic people's republic of korea and self proclaimed it tunnel. presidents in the 19 such as kim l. so just as a nationalist activist against the japanese colonial rule, he was trained by the chinese communist party and later by the soviet union where he lived for a time during the 2nd world war. 1945, atomic bombs dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki. japan surrenders and gifts, korea back itself into the kim l. so immediately recognizes the power of this new weapon.

the . it defies you all kinds of what you're thinking through this adult book on the ultimate that you've reached the. incidentally, the fall of japan was also relatively important for the nuclear program because we know that the 2 atomic bombs in her rush them on august. second, you on august 6th, the 9th 1945, ultimately forced upon to surrender with nick, reinstall this overpowering colonial power because they had little power to oppose . it indeed brought to his knees by 2 bombs as it turned out to start as this led to the conclusion, you could spend you clear with and this were in court, and all this has been done off this list by the way up tonight that those are to him, buffy sticks it off to here ashima japan withdrew its troops from the korean peninsula . but the country was still far from free. korea continued to be ruled by foreign

powers, as it had since 1910. the soviet union controlled the north while the us control the south similar to germany after the 2nd world war. the country was divided into occupations, ends in the north, kim il sung, consolidated, whose power with stallings health in the south. the white house installed, seeing monterey as president a division intended to be a temporary solution, became permanent. the in 1950 under kim, also north korean troops across the board at the 38th power. lo to re unite the country by force and started began the korean war.

so many historians, one of the most brutal, was that the 20th century, the around 4500000 people died within 3 years. the us commander in chief of the united nations combined in south korea. general douglas macarthur publicly called for the use of nuclear weapons. and once again came, it also recognized the strategic importance of the bomb, the kind of a one to the north korean nuclear program begin early on, long before the collapse of the soviet union. north korea wanted to develop its own nuclear weapons. but the soviet union wanted to prevent this. the stucco danielle,

the bomb, became north korea's obsessions. the country had to support his china and the soviet union. the latter designated its 1st nuclear bomb back in 1949, the kim il sung, did everything in his power to obtain the 2 communist states nuclear weapons plans, [000:00:00;00] the china and the sort of union off against each other. sometimes he's supposed to

vision. sometimes most got the choose north korea, rigs, merchant, the rivalry between the 2 superpowers when it comes into cedar. because of i don't want, i was in 1963 with the help of the soviet union. north korea built a nuclear research center and the research reactor in young beyond of 100 kilometers knows the fuel yang, the north korea huts sites. north korea has been working on it nuclear program since at least the 1970s are 1960. so i'm sure i can confirm this for my own personal experience or state. taken by my father was a nuclear physicist. i'm. we lived in russia and the 19 seventy's was done where there was a nuclear research center in the north koreans, scientists were already working there at the time of the day. it is the

us by planes observe the construction of the facility at this point. however, the international community was not concerned the, it still seemed unlikely that north korea would ever oppose a serious threat to the west. the in the communist world, however, joan gang was seen as a shining example, relying on a policy of friendship. kim l. so allied himself with heads of state and policy leaders who were also not on good terms with the us the

it maintained close relations with other communist states, especially the g. d, a and romania, the at the end of the $198.00. as these friendships came to an end, the eastern blog collapsed for soviet union and disintegrated. germany was through unified and the romanian dictator, child cascoo, was ousted from power and executed. joan yang suddenly found itself alone. the thoughts of intelligence screwball the death of cho shift school in the fall of 1989 cisco. i think it was in december. this was a very dramatic signal for the north korean leaderships, acknowledged. so do not go and i believe it was also one of the reasons they decided to vehemently against reform. and the reform cause of

the, the soviet was a patriot of north korea provided a lot of material assistance. but with the collapse of the soviet union that was gone. and you add that up with the willingness of china to have diplomatic relations with south korea. they felt isolated betray, and they felt they had to take their security into their own hands. and they began to pursue in earnest. this nuclear weapons program came, it also expanded his nuclear facility and young beyond attracting the attention of the international community. in 1992, the international atomic energy agency carried out its 1st inspections the west

turn to diplomacy and compromise. to prevent north korea from building a nuclear bomb has produced a cause that anytime negative annual i, hans blix, lesbian inspection to as i can get on there, like pm young, the inspectors had to change planes in beijing because there was no direct flight. they were the 1st foreigners to enter the young gun facility, north korea trying to hide the true extent of its blue tonia and programs. the full inspection was not accepted, the radio chemical level rotatory in accordance with the agreement, we had as a result, we cannot exclude that this radio, chemical blonde 3 processing font has been operated between february last year. and

this year we're not saying that it has to be that we cannot exclude that it has been operate the during his visit to south korea in 1993 us president, bill clinton sent a clear message. the point was washington, the threatened consequences. the we believed that was a place to stop, stop them before they made to sick,

politically, a box. and so a secretary defense design, i made a public statement that we would not submit north korea to reprocess the fuel and making a new claim to make the degree of bonds. we are prepared to take some form of military action to keep that from happening. at that time, no grand past referred to me as a war maintained by 1994. the dangerous seemed to have been a voucher for the time being. for the 1st time, north korea signed an agreement, the country pledged to pursue its nuclear program exclusively for energy production . i was involved in this from the early nineties to the president and i looked back in a number of critical coins. the united states and in north korea headed agreed in 1994 to something called the agreed framework. and that kind of put

a lid cap on their program, especially no more production of plutonium for weapons. and that was working pretty well. how do you look at it? in reality, however, north korea had long since found another clandestine way to carry on. talk to pakistan had offered kim is assume uranium enrichment technology in exchange for a long and medium range, missiles for good attack on hold a consent to kind of. so while kim assume negotiated with the us on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons, he was developing a new secret, weakly, a program is all right. so when this was discovered, america broke off negotiations with north korea. now it was up to china to put

pressure on the came regime in the past, china, it was helpful in dealing with north korea. our assumption was that china shared the us few, that north korea should not have no few weapons. and there should not be instability on the korean peninsula. and because of this assumed shared interest between the us in china, the 2 countries worked well together on north korea during the 2 thousands, the so called 6 party talks, the after less than 2 years, north korea whole tape negotiations. and went on the offensive, the on february, the 10th 2005, the government declared that it was already in possession of nuclear weapons,

snapping its chinese neighbors. the ocean is as easy as the chinese perspective. the north korea really is a very, very difficult partner in a certain problem. and so the, the armament of the countries are running north korea, japan, south korea, we'll, of course, the presence of the us and the region is heatedly justified by the threat of north korea whole north cause it was relatively clear that the whole thing is actually directed against china, or at least partly against china, machine obvious that the, despite the disagreement is that a nuclear program, north korean leadership regularly traveled to beijing. the communist parties of both peoples republics, were officially brother. apologies. each game generation cultivates

these friendship, at least outwardly to both countries. this is a necessity. history. since the collapse of the soviet union, china, as the north, korea's only allied, the a to china does not really have north korea under control. i'm getting. a chinese proverb says that messiah lips teeth are cold. with north korea, china would have problems, which is why the government and john yang try take immense liberties with beijing, mom to her school to use up to kind of go to the car. during the north korean famine, the chinese cent right. china is keeping north korea alive because korea is a buffer zone for china. 2

the united nations repeatedly imposed economic sanctions against north korea. if it did not comply with international rules. officially, china supported this approach unofficially. however, trade with north korea continued the tim jones. good, you can use it says to be no name off the came john came to power. cortez north korea launched to satellites in 20122013 international sanctions followed with the china seems cooperative foot. so it's a few months later due to much the trade of the boat out now goes continuing almost on changes you got from that one i didn't, but because this one that would be good cool, which we really show winds in colors and cars approval. crude alliance of china and russia and going through yet ever form against the us. this could create

a completely new security zone for me on yang. when the 2 large nation tunnel china and russia gift the country, a large survival space of the community restrictions imposed by the un security cancel minds, which would then be just as ineffective as us. i'm going to give you more chicago. we will get to such a constellation could contribute to north korea, becoming a nuclear power type jeff guns and extend the it was important for china to keep the us at a distance. so it tolerated north korea's political missteps and showed solidarity with its brother states the around $30000.00 us soldiers stationed on south korean soil. south of the demarcation line at the 38th power levels. should north korea ever collapse?

china would lose its profit. those soldiers would be at its tool, something beijing wants to prevent at all costs the government states mean which of the d. p. a it is to us that disturbs peace and security on the cutting condition and leads the situation to dangerous. today, the bush administration has designated our country is the target of pre emptive nuclear tech, which means and open the declaration of a nuclear war against our country. to north korea, to us is public enemy number one is a us trick is often rule on the slang. our army and people will destroy the land of the us. it's up to the environment, 8 little tough, even wrong. this plan became dentist a convinced that only the us poses

a threat to a to regime paints a picture of america as the enemy. that is the way to read, respond via aggressive will never avoid the in the country. to concord, you upset on north korea, seize the us, it's greatest threat to settle on top of it was unknown. but always from the most korean propaganda claims to have been continuously victorious against the us and the korean war between 19501953. well, well, sometimes you don't go through, which is okay, well i think i don't good people get as well. on the one hand, they provoke washington military,

they go to parts all i so cool. cool. but they have not forgotten that go, you can come get his own commercial totally up to him or to a peace agreement. sometime during the establishment of diplomatic relations with washington, you don't lose that is all on the title. i'm to get on a 12000 on please raise your right hand and repeat after me. i donald john trump do solemnly swear. donald john trump do solemnly swear, so help me. god. so help me. god. congratulations. mister credit. january 2017. donald trump became the 45th president of the united states. he was open to diplomatic relations with kim jong. own body. squander is john's the we begin with north korea late today. launching

a new missile. north korea has announced its successfully tested a nuclear capable, intercontinental ballistic missile capability. the world has news to me, a would never reach. a child from north korea says it's made just a ballistic missile test demonstrates budget now has the capability to strike anywhere in the united states. the in july 2017, north korea tested ballistic missiles with inter continental range, the, the threatening gesture directed primarily against trump. and the us, the rocket man is

on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. now, north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles threatens the entire world. the united states has great strength and patience. but if it is forced to defend itself for its allies, we will have no choice, but to totally destroy north korea. north korea's response was downing his guns. well, there's some way. sometimes we don't go even to include the onion, essentially what the, what i have the much the, let's see the see get you got you. do you get she don't get to can jump on is just a small dictator from

a small country. he was threatened by the most powerful man in the world in a bizarre verbal exchange. but it was not an easy win for donald trump. yeah, he's that they respect either their own. donald trump had to respond to north korea's publication. do not run is decided to take an unexpected pos, and despite the objections from his advises, he gets ready to meet with came joan own a few months later, the 2 met on neutral ground. the . this is a leader pull really is an unknown personality. people don't know much about him. i think that he's going to surprise on the upside, but i've said it many times. who knows? you know, the way they say that, you know,

if you're gonna like somebody in the 1st 5 seconds. well, i think that very quickly, i'll know whether or not something good is going to happen the the us, the mir fine. the president donald trump met with kimi on who knows equals is considered, diploma certainly will interest you. but this does not solve the nuclear problem, go ahead and take it again. it was a unique opportunity for the dictate to kim jones on would you like to say we have said the result was primarily symbolic. the thank you very

much. resign degree month. did not set a deadline for north korea's nuclear disarmament. the details which would be determined at another meeting the 2019. at the 2nd summit in high noise, came joan put all his eggs in one basket. keeps young guy and made a proposal that was was cited proposal. it was to close down the facilitate young, young, close at down in exchange for the removal of all important us sanctions. it was one sided and the trumpet administration correctly rejected it. i think if the trump administration had counter with a realistic proposal, maybe we could have made some progress but came shown on the left hand or humiliated,

embarrassed. all right. he was advised that the americans would accept his proposal, but they rejected it out of it. and since handle it, which was in 2019, there has been no productive engagement. and in fact, the north has refused every us efforts to try to engage with the door. for north korea, this was proof, as an understanding with the west was not possible. the country sealed itself off again behind the demilitarized zone which forms the boda with south korea the fall kilometer wide. no man's land is heavily guarded on both sides. it is the last remaining border of the cold war.

the in some places south koreans and tourists can see the north, the well, they couldn't see. joan yang had apparently deposited a launch arsenal of weapons behind the mountains. the government and so estimates. but phones of missiles are aimed at the city, which is just the 30 kilometers away the day on per pad for an emergency. the sol, subway stations have shelters, mosques,

but chemical attacks and food rations in north korea military protection against the western style, south korea. as always guarantee survival or even before it had a, an active nuclear weapons program. it had the kansas, you know, $10000.00 artillery tubes within range of so. so if there were ever efforts to intervene military to stop their program, they would be in a position to cause massive gas in destruction in so and so they've been really relentless. they've been single minded in pursuing the spouse. the, in the face of the french, south korea vacillated between 2 strategies. on the one hand, it was seeking close ties with the us. we've joined the military exercises

the, the us was demonstrating its determination to defend south korea against the north at all costs. danica it strategy against a nuclear power, which seemed ready for anything i should be able to find. so i knew of korea spanish developing it, sends continental massage. and what will be left by on the washington is on likely to get up to new york is the same. so you've come in. it has been directly threatening the south of nuclear weapon. no since 2022. they have even paused to know the justifies of pre emptive nuclear strong, where there are signs of possible attacks when the sound does sound like these are signs of an increasing the aggressive nuclear delta transfer to the 100. and when

you go ahead and do the 200 and the north korean problem is not solid sides, korea will also want you clear width and then japan, good command taiwan, nuclear domino, headphones. and 2nd thing is that would cause a nuclear domino effect in northeast asia. and see if we could have to test when i knew the south could be a 2nd. strategy was dialogue with the north countries. heads of state match for the 1st time in june, 2000 since then left leaning south korean presidents of salt, a diplomatic relationship with a kim dennis date, the in 2018. the olympic games took place in film, trying south korea

a good opportunity for a renewed attempt at talks between north and south. made them limits. you ladies and gentlemen, the president of the republic of korea, moon j, him for the 1st time in history, athletes from both countries entered as one team. under the, of course of moments of elliptic history as the north and south reno athletes entered as one team onto the flag of the korean peninsula. it was also the 1st time that a member of the king dentist had set foot on south korean soil. came jo john the dictates his youngest sister presenting herself to the public in a friendly and diplomatic manner.

the news i'm going to use out of so you'll kind of probably soon got old bozza as in latan, couldn't you would you can give me your junk is considered the 2nd in power in the country, which is a call you let me talk to them there was nothing like this before under the rule of chemical song and kim jung. is it a kit? how ya see? just in just says to me and they wanted to go now. power is divided between the siblings system, which includes only the binder and then the criminal. josh had something happened to kim jung own. him. jo john couldn't take over as number 2. he's a, a kind of fun in the day the 2 months off to the olympics. a summit meeting was held between kim jones on and

south korean president, moon j, in. right on the border in the demilitarized zone, the well, the, the atmosphere was relaxed, came, joan was respectful, that even demonstrated a sense of humor. this went out of a well with a south korean media,

the north korean solutions. i cannot understand what the disputants offices, i think north korea has already taken a very close look at the relationship between east and west germany, which they are fully aware of that as long as north korea is economically we criticize 3, i think was a good sized korea will always be a major threat to the north. 3 in strategy towards the ice cream is 1st of all to establish something of a balance of the east, off to ball. if it chief this in the military field, especially with nuclear weapons, a lot of investments about them, but not yet economically. and which of these and provides you bought the nation, but hopes of peace. what quickly dashed the jo. yeah. let me choose the under the leadership of our beloved comrade, kim jong, to the new intercontinental ballistic missile of our great military power was launch. i just need

a kim jones own continues his nuclear program and propaganda unabated. although north korea is one of the poorest countries in the world, it invest solange pots of its gross domestic product and its nuclear, us know the every military exercise and every new intercontinental ballistic miss style all celebrated on state television, came joan own stages, his military strength by his people, sometimes as a general, sometimes in the style of the top gun. illiterates has heads, that it will be the most agree, his goal is no different from that of other states, a flourishing economy or power, a good social system. the nuclear energy seems to be a good way for them to achieve this. these think that if they hold out for a while longer, everything will be fine. a race against time,

you can control kind of can more time passes, you can, the more north korean nuclear weapons that will be kind of the more difficult it will be to negotiate with north korea. he is often said the time is working against all 3 of the system because the economy and politics are on stable. she's done. we paid a warrant because if we look back over the last 30 years, so it's walters, it brought us. the regime is not collapsed. it's nuclear will is getting stronger. international sanctions, less effective by 800 con children things seem to be moving in north korea's neighborhood. she doesn't want to have to come to speak to the the tv pro kanda always ends the same way with

a successful rocket launch towards the us. the the tell you a movie when you to want to executive was putting your money in place. i don't you go to tell you, i'll just keep all i'll see. i didn't mind. i need to get a demo of a nice job to meet the team. don't own has so far managed to set these country against the rest of the world. his main goal is to continue the kim tennessee as the center of power in north korea. to achieve this, it needs military strength. but it also needs to succeed economically to end it's countries, poverty and hunger,

the in good shape. so i, it rule out no energy to do anything. what could be the closer task? sometimes the problem is most serious than you think. and even small things can help to get you back into the group again in good shape in fuzzy minutes. d, w,

the project, cassandra, re the term and through our investigations that has below was operating like a global drug car. not somebody normally seizures, organization. the objective to financially drain has gone up and bring them down to the team. agents from the american drug enforcement agency. i mean bass was another whole left. they wanted the rest of their money. they had from lies themselves. we needed them to reveal that so world and their own people. why did the us government suddenly shut down project cassandra in 2016? 03 pa documentary series. i'm asking has paula stats may 4th on d, w.

the you're watching do the we can use live from barely the you with plagiarism, all patriot me solves full. you cried that part of a $6000000000.00 package, which doesn't include any additional patriots, a defense system to launch stuff that's despite keys, asking for more. also a head heavy monsoon, ryans basset, east africa closings to via flooding. 10 years government says the rising war, his have already killed at least 70 people bed with low down poles,
