i've changed and i'm guessing nari's changed, and korea, korea has certainly changed. the korean war ended more than half a century ago, but in some ways it's still going. the north and south have been on perpetual war footing ever since. it's a psychological and physical scar. korea is literally split in half, but that's not what this show is about. there aren't many comparisons to south korea's stratospheric rise over the last decade. one of the poorest countries as recently as the 60s, today it claims one of the world's fastest growing economies. the government has been extremely shrewd and forward thinking about selling the world all things korean, underwriting, encouraging, financing and supporting the export of intangibles, things like music, movies, tv shows, food, the whole korean sensibility, and the world is responding, learning to love what koreans have always loved. the heart of korea is seoul, capital city, a bustling metropolis. futuristic in look and character. population 25 million. >> look at that. they've got a selfie stick. everybody is taking pictur

let's go to korea. the credit worthiness of companies is taking a hit as the export economy falters. korea ratings have slashed credit scores of thousands of borrowers. let's bring in shery ahn. how bad is the situation in korea? shery: the economy is facing a triple whammy. a slowing china is weakening demand for exports. a weakening yen making korean products less competitive against japanese rivals. and at the recent outbreak of mers has dampened consumer demands. firms have been deadly hit. thea ratings just cut credit scores of 40 borrowers and raised the rating of five firms, the worst ratio since 1999. korea ratings expects to see the drama word trend -- downward trend continue. outlookse is the credit for firms, in the negative for 24 firms, positive for only nine. yvonne: exports really stalling. what are the industry's most hurt? shery: we are seeing the impact across $1.5 trillion in south korea's economy. the biggest hit industry is shipbuilding, oil refining and to steal. -- steel. three bi

with north korea. there are seven or eight major differences between the north korean agreement not the least of which is north korea pulled out of the npt and north korea already exploded a nuclear weapon and iran has not, and there are many differences, and i would rather lay them out on the record if we can. but this covers all possible nuclear-related activities the agreement with north korea did not. and we also have consent to the process of inspections. north korea did -- i mean there are a whole series of things. on the military option i said it again, and again, president obama is the only president who has actually commissioned the development of a weapon that can do what is necessary to deal with the facilities at risk. and he has not only commissioned its design he has deployed it and made it clear that iran will not get a weapon and he is prepared any option necessary in order to achieve that. but his preferred option is a diplomatic solution which resolves this issue in a way that avoids

to talk about the abduction of citizens by agents for north korea. kim is washington's steshl representative for north korean promise. he's due to spend three days with officials. his visit comes after pyongyang released a report into the abductions. john kerry met with the foreign minister of mongolia which has a special diplomatic channel with north korea. officials are likely to share information gleaned from kerry's meeting. kim is also expected to discuss relations between japan and south korea. officials in washington hailed a recent meeting between the foreign ministers of the asian neighbors as a positive development. leaders in japan and south korea have been at odds over historical issues. japan has lodged a protest over a visit by a russian cabinet minister to the northern ter toirs. russia controls the islands. japan claims them. >> translator: the visit by a high ranking official we lodged a protest because it cannot be tolerated and it is extremely regrettable. >> suga said the embassy responded by stating the position on the matter and

like north korea and sony? should we be concerned about north korea? kim: well, you do not really believe that north korea hacked sony. i do not believe that for a minute. emily: who did, then? kim: some sophisticated group that has an interest in what hollywood is doing around the world. emily: you do not think it is a group that has ties to north korea? kim: i do not think so. i do not think north korea has the capability. it is just such a beautiful story for the u.s. government to put this onto north korea. it is more likely that it was some insider at sony that was disgruntled. emily: i know you are particularly worried about microsoft. kim: obviously, windows software is the most interesting target for the u.s. government, because everyone is using it. if you can just use windows update to install a backdoor on some target, you know, then that is the most convenient way to get access to everything that happens on an individual's computer or on government computers or bank computers. and it is just the logical extension of what they have already d

north korea is a cautionary tale. i know you don't think iran will cheat in north korea. it's strung along the u.s. and world power, saying it didn't want nukes and deals, but it went ahead and produced them. >> absolutely. let's compare that agreement that happened 20 years ago. that was three pages long. this agreement is 159 pages long. it's the strongest - in is your father's i.a.e.a. international atomic energy agency. 20 years after the fact, we have digital capabilities the snowden revelation should tell you we have instruments stronger than we used to. it's a different country. as you know i have been to iran and north korea. very different countries. north korea - who is on its border with china. china protects north korea, it's - china's armed with nuclear weapons. there's no china equivalent in iran the middle east. no china to protect them. in iran everyone hates iran. the saudis hate iran israel hates iran. i think it's the most watched country in the world. >> i think the saudis, the opposition group will look under any haystack and bathroom for the slightes

>> we don't have inspectors in north korea. we don't have relations with north korea. and this cooperation is going to continue regardless of the inspections in iran. the other thing about those inspections, in the april 2 joint framework agreement that president obama announced, he said there would be additional program, that's the anytime anyplace inspections. that inspection regime didn't end up in the announcement of yesterday. so clearly we've got a problem here. >> you tell me why china is doing this. what interest does china have in extending nuclear proliferation to iran? >> well, china competes with russia for influence in the middle east and iran is certainly one of the countries that can cozy up to china. also china doesn't want iran supporting the uighurs, the muslims in china's northwest who are very unhappy with china's assimilationist policies. and china wants to sell the iranians manufactured goods as well as buying oil and gas. so this relationship between tehran and beijing is multifaceted. >> north korea, the pathway around the -- >> absolutely. >> -

the problem is that iran is far, far more dangerous than north korea, because while north korea acquired nuclear weapons out of desperation, iran is seeking them out of aspirations. aspiration to renew its rule over the muslim and arab world to bring back persian rule over the arabs and to continue ter rides terrorizeing stabilization as we know it. what worries me is the parties sat across the table from the iranians and dealt with them as if they were switzerland. they did not deal with them as though they were a terror state and that to me is disturbing and very very worrying. >> okay. it's interesting to note, mr. ambassador, that the chief negotiator in talks with iran is this woman, wendy sherman. she is the number three person at the state department in the united states. she served the obama administration since 2011. she was also a top aide in coordinating policy on trying to contain north korea's nuclear proliferation during the clinton administration. here she is with her north korean counterpart in 2000. given how the north korean talks turned out, you wonder why she was tapp

at that time i told them what i wanted to do next with korea. i mentioned korea before. one of the reasons i really wants to korea is not just because veterans are writing me, which is very nice, but because if you think about this what do most americans who weren't there know about korea? mash. with all due respect to alan alda and whoever, that is not about korea at all. it's about vietnam. that's a vietnam story. look what it was made. what about the yellow river? i have the memoir of a chinese p.o.w. there are other side. i was really bummed to find out because i will go to korea. eisenhower said that. i will go to korea. i found out that transcendence in the north. i will go there. someone suggested, i will help you see again. yeah. that's a good idea. that's the next story, i've been on a book a year schedule. i was trying to do each book a year and it took a lot out of me. i can't do that again. i'm getting too old. i'm looking at probably 18 months, that's what i'm working on right now. talk about a change of pace and a completely different perspective. that's go

that is what north korea said happened over the weekend in the local contest. those that missed out were out of the country. here's the catch. there's one candidate for each post. you can vote yes or no and be charged with treason. all of a sudden 16 candidates doesn't sound bad does it? >>> gingrich released review about the apple watch. no matter how you feel about him, parts of it make you want to chuckle. >> i just took your picture. i keep sending my heart rate to friends in washington but nobody is responding. excuse me, i have to feed my tamigachi. >> how you like my new watch? >> i keep getting your heartbeats. >>> joined by political analyst and best selling author. good morning. >> i love newt's watch. very cool. >> does it tell time? >> that's one of the few things people are wondering. does everything else apparently. >>> someone else who's doing a lot, donald trump. saying a lot, causing controversy. he's refusing to apologize to john mccain. he is says this controversy is media's fought. let's understand. he said he was a wash hero before he said

by the way, north korea pulled out of the npt, iran has not pulled out of the npt. remember that two years ago when our negotiation began, we faced an iran that was enriching uranium up to 20% at a facility that was secret and buried underground, and they were rapidly stockpiling enriched uranium, they were building a heavy reactor, that could produce one to two bombs a year, and experts assessed that the breakout time as a result, the integral required to produce one nuclear weapon was about two to three months. if this deal is rejected, we return immediately to this reality. accept that the diplomatic support that we have built with all of these other countries, that we have accumulated would disappear overnight. let me underscore, the alternative to the deal that we have reached is not what i have seen some ads on tv suggesting, it isn't a, quote, better deal? some sort of unicorn arrangement, involving iran's complete capitulation. that is a fantasy, plain and simple, and our own intelligence community will tell you that. every single department of our intellige

more than 20,000 atomic bomb survivors are thought to have returned to south korea. about 3,000 hold atomic bomb survivor certificates a document issued by the japanese government. certificate holders receive about $2,400 a year this pays for medical expenses in their home countries. but many fallen victim have not been approved. it's difficult to find witnesses to prove they were exposed to radiation. >> translator: it must be devastating to die without receiving this certificate. >> this woman is one survivor. she was 4 years old when hiroshima was bombed. in 2010 she went for cancer certainly. she had recently been suffering from acute pain in her hands and weight loss. >> translator: one day i noticed some yellow pus. my hands were in acute pain and have swelled up like this many times. i went to the doctor and got an injection, but it didn't help. >> reporter: she suspects her condition was from exposure to radiation and has considered applying for the certificate. but she can't prove she was a victim. she has almost no memory of the event and all of her immedia
