jong sister kim jong became the first member of the ruling family to cross into the south since the korean war she came with an invitation kim jong un is asking the south korean president in to visit pyongyang at a convenient time soon if this meeting transpires it would be the first time that kim jong il has met with the south korean president since taking office in twenty eleven president moon says he'll begin arranging the conditions to make that visit happen but he stresses that any rebuilding of interest korean relations must involve dialogue between the united states and north korea u.s. vice president mike pence sat very close to the north korean delegation during the opening ceremony he emma north koreans rebuffed president moon's attempts to facilitate a midi skeptics say that this north korean charm offensive is heavy on the symbolism but they doubt that it will result in anything substantive they say this is an attempt by the north koreans to drive a wedge between the united states and the south koreans into an advance their own agenda but for now president moon and many

so this this invitation that was carried by kim jong il in sr is certainly really significant if not surprising so it's very big step in any case and one of. the plans behind this i mean yesterday he shows his new care potential and today we hear about his invitation how is it all facing together. well it's hard to say what kim jong un's motives are but certainly what is happening now is driving a wedge between south korea and the united states i mean we saw just last night at the opening ceremony vice president mike pence pretty much gave the cold shoulder to the north korean delegation. now with the pitot with the potential that president moon might be meeting with president trump's archenemy in pyongyang that certainly would make relations between seoul and washington would make them rocky. i mean how likely is it that south korean president and win accept the an invitation then. well according to his press secretary president moon did say that north's and south korea need to work out some conditions in the future to make that all happened so it was kind of vague but what came out

kim jong un's sister tell south korea's president he's invited to a summit in the north korean capital and one day in said he'd be willing to go to pyongyang if conditions are right. it's good to have you with us israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says his country will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria this after an israeli jet was shot down by syrian forces on its way home from a bombing mission it was one of a group of planes targeting iran backed positions inside syria israel says it was provoked a charge denied by syria and iran. and it's really just in flames an angry reaction from the army and two very different versions of what happened early saturday morning. the key question didn't iranian surveillance drones stray into israeli territory from a base in syria triggering a deadly response from israeli fighter jets syria says its allies drone was near the israeli border on a standard intelligence mission but israel disagrees it has released this unverified video which it says shows the drone in israeli airspace next they say it followed the drone ac

he did not greet kim jong-un's sister. and left and told the washington pest that the united states is not opposed to direct talks with north korea. is there a contradiction? or is this the kind of diplomacy that has to be tried even by the united states? >> di policemplomacy has to be . the image we are getting has nothing to do with it. pence is acting unfriendly to north korea. at the ceremony. that has the nothing to do with the american position which is actually, pro dialogue at this point. also, the two korea yeahs look sowing happy together. that's not really true. that it is, you know, there are, there is literally no communication between the two. and, politically, they need each other. right now. and being pro engagement. and, he pushed to, this point. also, another thing. north korea, just, this is always what happened. they have done things. like do a nuclear test. the world rewards them with actually inviting them to the olympics. letting them take over the whole attention. >> clearly. >> whatever they're doi

we have not heard anything from kim jong un. vice president mike pence said he was willing to talk to north korea. this has always been the two sides talking and then the u.s. and north korea should be talking as well. they will do what they can to press that. a source with the knowledge of north korea believes it is a missed opportunity for pence in south korea. the fact there was no acknowledgment on either side with the u.s. and north korea diplomats sitting feet away from each other. >>> mikaela shiffrin will have to wait a few more days before her bid for olympic medals. coy wire has more from pyeongchang. it is windy and it's cold. >> reporter: so cold. it feels like zero is what the temperature says right now. winds at 45-mile-an-hour gusts. wrecking havoc in pyeongchang. the contact at the ioc is empty. no one wants to be outside for the medal sayceremonies. the first women's alpine skiing event in pyeongchang debut for mikaela shiffrin. the giant slalom pushed back a few days. she will be taking a lot of naps. the delay

it is clear that kim jong-un sent his sister on a diplomatic mission. she is younger, relatively charming, and they say they are leading a charm offensive. as the person to lead this charge. and so she essentially is, was sent there, sent to the meeting to talk to the president, and to tell him that kim jong un wants to talk. what the north korea's zan they c -- gain is they can extend this period of talks. north korea might want economic sanctions lifted as a part of this. north korea has a lot to gain by making this offer without making any concessions. vice president pence here saying that the united states should december engage from north korea after the olympics and join the u.s. in this campaign of maximum pressure. clearly president moon taking another approach even going to a hockey game with kim jong-un's sister. >> two things, will, first do we know if the south korean's have accepted that invitation, and should they talk to improve the north and south relationship. what is the reaction from the u.s.? >> yes, so the invitation passed on was a

outside of her brother kim jong-un, kim yo-jong could be the most powerful person in north korea. the younger sister of the north korean dictator, she shares his dna and his vision for the repressive regime. she's now heading across the south korean border as part of north korea's delegation to the winter olympics. >> oh, it's absolutely significant on quite a number of levels. first, just the symbolism and symbolics of this. she has been relatively cloistered outside of north korea. we don't know how much she has traveled, but she's about to emerge on the world's largest television stage. >> reporter: kim yo-jong will be the first member of the kim dynasty to ever visit south korea. no family member has crossed the border since the korean war. her star has risen meteorically over past four years. she's been a top official of the propaganda and agitation department which enforces censorship. she was recently promoted to a position in the politburo, the senior body in the communist party. kim yong-nam, ceremonial head of state, will be there and yields influence in the regime. anal

clinton and bush were dealing with different kims-- kim il-sung, kim jong-il, and now kim jong-un, but i guess to trump, all rocket men look the same. or maybe, maybe he just can't tell kims apart. maybe that's his thing. he's gonna be walking in the street, bumping into lil' kim and looking at her like, "you son of a bitch!" tensions with kim jong-un loomed over the entire excursion, and it didn't help that north korea released a statement calling trump "an old lunatic." and donald trump was like "i've got 280 now." - moments ago, president trump openly mocked the leader of north korea. this is what he wrote: "why would "kim jong-un insult me by calling me 'old' "when i would never call him 'short and fat'? "oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen." - okay, it's a little weird for donald trump to diss kim jong-un's weight when they have pretty much the same body type. i mean, yeah, i'm not judging, but i just think people who live in gingerbread houses shouldn't throw scones. also, also, i love that trump's response was "how dare you call me old?"

yo-jong, the sister of kim jong-un. >> this is significant. kim jong-un has extended a personal invitation to the south korean president moon jae-in.
