have journalists ever been able to stand so close. they have the navy. the army. the air force. infantry, artillery, medics, doctors, nurses and of course, tanks. now it is completely silent. right up there, kim jong-il and his son, kim jong-un. going to come out and watch. the goal of all of this was purely political. introduction of the heir apparent to the kim family dynasty, kim jong-un. out and about in the capital, no one seemed to know much about kim jong-un. do you know what his age is? what he is like? it seemed the young general was everywhere we went from stadiums to the public squares, but never uttered a word.

we should point out when kim jong-il's father named him as heir apparent in 1980 it wasn't until 12 years later that he first spoke in public. so for those anxious to hear from the next leader of the kingdom, sit tight, it could be a while. you should know north korea has long turned its lights off at night because of a shortage of electricity. if you looked at the satellite view you can see the lights are elsewhere. compare this trip to the last one i was on. there is actually more lights out at night than before. maybe something is changing. also remember, three days ago there were almost no pictures of kim jong-un, heir apparent. but here in the leading paper, you can see him right there. two seats away from his father. never seen this before. so over the next few days, certainly months, years. he is going to be getting a lot more attention. >> some thing don't change, right. still don't know a lot. most information from defectors. we don't know how old, 28-31. >> one thing we know about him. he is a basketball fan. as we know dennis rodman had a trip to north korea recently. he was received as a hero.
