, electric plant for north korea. i was the head of this so i went there. when a site east side of korea -- when i saw east side of korea, almost untouched for six years. was really different from pyongyang. and pyongyang is also very behind but it's like more showcase for showing to outside for national people. my question is, i heard also from other source that as of now there are a lot of interest in hong kong in cars, and we tried to not expand in 2002, and can you tell us what kind of change for last 10 years and with increased number of cell phones and internet users and in cars, and that they will make more, you know, turmoil within those korea. and then like, probably shorten the north korea, you know, -- [inaudible] >> the increase in automobiles is not as much of an issue for the government because you need with an eagle and domestic passport similar to russia, any permission to go to the town next-door. it's not like you can leave anyway if you're on foot, bicycle or car. you're still contain. the cell phon

north korea. it was like reading a chapter from 1984 your george orwell's vision had come to life at a few years earlier as the democratic people republic of korea but also as the years went by i couldn't get the closing line of the italian journalist article out of my head. it read, when i got off the plane in peking, i kissed the ground, happy to be back in a free country. a free country, china, in 1981? i have been the. i knew china wasn't free. was it really possible that the good be a place that north korea could be worse? 30 years later we know the answer to that question. north korea is the world's most repressive state. its people are the slaves of the chemcam regime which controls every aspect of their life. even whether they get to eat. religion is banned. there is no rule of law, and perceived political infractions are met with harsh punishment. punishment i should add that is often meted out to three generations of a person stood at a political offender knows that when he goes to priso

missiles would now be able to reach all of north korea. well, joining me from seoul is john, an associate fellow with the asia program watt the chatham house of think tank. thank you for being with us. first of all, let's talk about this claim from north korea. is it at all credible? >> well, it's credible in the sense that north koreans have in developing their ballistic missiles developed their technology but still very much a technology that hasn't demonstrated what they and north korea have been claiming. when they claimed to launch satellite to extend their ballistic missile to say they could hit the u.s. some would say is not a reality yet. >> when someone is exacting a claim like, this you know what i mean washington and seoul would have factoried that in. simply the problems of the technical capacity -- >> absolutely. i think this is probably much more, if we want to explain it, a case of political rhetoric. the north feel compelled in the face of the extension of the missile capabilities and the result of the disagreement with the

to north korea. you can't send an e-mail or text message or facebook. and you can't even mail a letter. so, the exiles have created a black market in information. they hire chinese couriers to cross the border and deliver messages. or sometimes they deliver chinese cell phones to a north korean relative, to tell the relative to go to an area near the border, on a certain day, a at certain hour, turn on the phone and receive a phone call from their relative who has escaped to a different country. in south korea, north korean exiles have formed organizations whose purpose is to get information into north korea, to give just one example, there are four radio stations run by north korean exiles that broadcast daily to north korea. the mantra of the kim family regime that north korea is the greatest, most prosperous nation on earth and that the north korean people are the world's happiest is being exposed for the lie that it is. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> up next on

north korea's uncooperative attitude toward the u.n. remains unchanged. the report accuses the north of putting priority on the military. it says this policy harms many people who are starving. north korean detectors are detain inside china. the report urges neighbors countries not to send them back to north korea the human rights committee will begin discussing the report. >>> iranians are suffering through reports of economic sanctions. there's more on the way. tell us what's the latest. >> people in iran are already going through a lot of hardships. the currency is plunging. western countries are about to put more country on the middle eastern country. member countries reached a preliminary deal. they are discussing extra sanctions against iran. the eu plans to adopt new sanctions on october 15th. >>> iranian natural gas enters the eu region mostly from turkey. the volume is not large at the moment but future demand for natural gas is expected to grow. >>> japan's new economic and fiscal policy leader will attend a policy meeting on friday. he's urged

korea, north koreans know more about the world. this too is thanks to the efforts of north koreans who have escaped. how do they do that? any immigrant who goes to a new country what is the first thing he wants to do? to let his family back home know that he is okay and tell them about his new life but for a north korean who wants to do that it is next to impossible. you can't make a phone call in north korea or send an e-mail or text message or facebook and can't even mail a letter so the exiles have created a black market in information. they hire chinese careers to cross the border and deliver a messages or sometimes delivered chinese cellphones to a north korean relative to tell the relative to go to an area near the border on a certain day at a certain hour, turn on the phone and receive a phone call from the relative who has escaped to a different country. in s
