president trump shocked many when they agreed to meet in the coming months. analysts say there can be no substantive movement on the north korean issue without denuclearization. in south korea there is enormous hope that a seismic shift in the relationship between the two koreas is afoot. because of all the global attention i believe reunification grope for the government is making efforts and i think people are rooting for it. but there is also skepticism and a wait and see approach. is a priest and an activist who participates in frequent protests that she disagrees with president moon's policy of engagement with north korea she worries he's giving kim

concessions without compromises in fact she doubts the legitimacy of moon's presidency she says his predecessor president park geun hay was unfairly impeached and removed from office in two thousand and seventeen in the largest corruption scandal in south korean history. because it could ever top major turn america would you know able to pick its peer tom-tom. i'd like to talk a little bit if you don't mind about north korea and the attitudes and feelings that you grew up with with regard to the country later on and to true things even are now under your i wonder you get there when they're twenty nine i'm both overdraw they were thought pattern jokes had under without

country's most pressing challenges. joey jaw i mean would you have sunk in and chill me. like a kitten when they tell you can mean that you tom or can put a roof top bottom or top with. but do you feel that they're still south koreans that are being left behind when it comes to be. thriving economic development that the rest of the world sees when it looks at south korea. demand kitschy or has imminent toyi. euro cook the meals for india turn and turn motors and i know you go to town and talk talk to an ass and you go closer to man and you guru popcorn i saw turn as he gets or get sort o. ye ye. would have me in that urn tom and i me that.

tell you that i have a water no no excess so guess all tones in lieu talk when you don't want to learn that and i'll get there with the attendant them out that would in that i mean the vent would. tell me what do you mean sonia. tons a little body coke it then when it leaves the. men here on john has never known life without the threat of north korea the graduate student says the time he served in the military gave them greater empathy for his neighbors as the familial ties between the north and south grow farther apart people in his generation feel less invested in the idea of or unification their priorities are landing jobs in a competitive economy where youth employment is just shy of ten percent in my primary school we had lots of talks with north korea and we were educated we

do you mean if patients and those korean lifestyle and then when i. became one with the school student. there were lots of major provocations from north korea in high school we were exposed to those korean military provocations more dan. the talks with north korea well tell me what you learned about north korea growing up my parents were very sympathetic to north korea and they thought they were very one national police think then my peers so when i found like my peers my friends or. thinking they're going to make it to be about north korea i think myspace is something also pricing to know. would you say that that chasm in terms of attitude still exists today of course when you look at the survey . when you contrast between the opinion on the part of north korea and police

in twenty's as opposed to those in stories and forty's you find that lots of young people are more conservative conservative than. old scene stories and forty's because we had more experience with those korean provocation stan talks in dialogues in north korea and i think it still has speaking impact in the perspective would you say that at times you felt afraid for your loved ones your friends or the country the south koreans were so used to meter threat of north korea that they don't feel insecure about their security situations when north korea launches me so japanese people feel more insecure about their security than the south koreans so do you think that north korea would ever attack south korea they might attack in small scale sort of in the entire war

did you have drills in school about what to do in the case of an attack if there was an attack here on your campus is there a plan in place for what student should do i was never noticed that happened in my parents' age so my father to. think my grandpa did it to what do you think reunification would look like although some people in my age are opposed to the idea of the unification i think. it's also korean society have consensus about the unification is in the constitution to. the peaceful reunification must be preceded by south korean government. there are some radical people who think. military unification is an option but majority of people think the peaceful unification is the only option for the

prosperity of south korea. the new could nuclearize in order to. pursue more cooperation with south korea how do you feel about president it's clear he's interested in a policy of engagement with north korea. he's poli sci it's the only option we have both making more engagement with north korea what do you think of north korea where most of the military i was been taught that those korean people are not the enemy. the enemy is sort of those korean regime but those korean military. i think there's something important to know that i did research service for twenty one months and this compulsory for all of those men in there when you go to the military you get too exposed to the view north korea

is your enemy. this very different from society where you can have different views about. in this war in the gym you said it that the north korean regime is the enemy not the north korean people why do you think that that distinction is important i think that distinction is important because the north korean people or part could be part of the south korean families which is true for my grandpa grandfather my grandpa has moved from north korea to solve korea because he personally opposed to the communism and he's for a lot of war fighting against those korean regime in north korea our grandparents generations. loss of family was the hardest with north korean people do you think as time goes on in those ties get farther and farther away it will

really shift attitudes about north korea and north koreans it has been seventeen years since i have been separated. i don't have any personal ties with those korean people. so i think that will definitely impact the south korean view of most people in those career so. is the sign of a north korean refugees his father founded the tom de lay newspaper to serve separated from their loved ones in north korea now sean is this. he says witnessing his father's quiet pain and his contributions to the community gave him a sense of responsibility to continue to run the newspaper even as refugees die and readership to. this. it was a little bit hell on all. the new. year

. other. than. cheap. beer. on the little old ella. but you get this into. the middle of the meta what are your recollections of what it was like for your father being a refugee from north korea in the society there though. think of an virus putting it in the month. and then couldn't do it again. i mean hey auburn you me do you think growing up that big

a north korean refugee and being the son of a north korean refugees you face any kind of intolerance or stigma. hunger the opium and. she hung in there you know. that the all the all the. thought. i mean we. seek. more than so than she don't mean wonder the. rich among all the on. the war the. equally then go igor one other than all the time throughout the whole thing the whole war what do you know about your family in north korea today. and your monday call we. still. do not. know one and they're. actually showing it all. part of the.

do not hide your though that you did not kill jesus and the other do him no one you know no more. do not want him to when you. look at it it's. not. clear on the one of the. could you please tell me about when your father founded this newspaper and why were they on with an. evil. than. the. other you know. when you may think other. that they will. be done in the. mean time when you let it you'll. be done when all that in there than your torment . to get pungo if you're cool. we should warn you.

that hail caution when you put a little girl in the cushion with a woman. who's been with him when you were the one you treat or poor the ways you do that will tell you more the all the. hurt you can one. t.v. got. all that in their delightful i have her storm dog. and the critter all ten more than talked will. always come with apologies him when the. four door. with the hook at them with their. even though you were told. to. call me that either how do you feel about the united states and its role in the region and obviously as

a big ally of south korea or tongue on your bill goodell of come don't be with on turn or libby. you'll be on the idea one and. then a couple in another. good ending that he can hear hear more. door he. thought she. could get them when one. would reunification look like for you and is it realistic to or your own team when in the turn and. again in the first in the. one they see it here then that will put into a few months. then told me that here in the war think of it he'll be the. now among. tons and so will. will not

engagement with north korea when. you see whom. we know on paper going to get there than thirty e.-book when you get on the other she don't mean the wonder than. him but you know we sell him. the money. in government. we got the war. done there were pages in them. and. kerry won and. done for them the get it done and kill it and i think of it the thought or to the hundred hong kong with all horny. although north and south koreans signed an armistice in one thousand nine hundred fifty three ending the korean war they never brokered

a formal peace treaty. during the last sixty five years the hope for reunification has loomed large for the generation that lived and suffered through the war as that population ages and dwindles many and the generations that follow say their priorities are focused inward they want reunification when they denuclearize north korea however they're worried about whether they can ride the wave of south korea's dynamic economy many are angry about the ties between the political and business establishment that have brought down a president and landed several conglomerate leaders and government aides with corruption convictions yet it's undeniable the historic and fast moving developments in the last several months have generated optimism among many that this could be a watershed moment in rebooting intercalary in relation. to

. and then reported on the. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of the days looking forward to for a dry riverbed like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even

those who managed to escape their country have been truly unable to escape the war . the scene for us where on line what is american sign in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on set there are people that that are choosing between buying medication and eating basis is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist and just posted a story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would just be when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and nightmares and out i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good

journalism on air and on. winning the will of the people hinges on the mass media state p.r. machine it's going to overdrive. but just who is influencing. we just don't know yet where the lines will be drawn between what can be said and what conduct that. some journalists decided to sacrifice their integrity for outside polling the media opinion the listening post base time on al-jazeera.
