north korea does not want any preconditions. they just want go back to the negotiating table as a nuclear state which cannot be accepted by u.s., japan and korea. from the north korean perspective, the value of six-party is great if there's no preconditions. and especially 2005 agreement there is everything north korea wants. specifically they can end economic sanctions, and they can get help from outside. number one priority of kim jong regime this year is simultaneous pursuit of economic development and nuclear deterrence. and second is ending the political isolation. they can normalize the relations with other countries, but the problem is, and the point is this is all about tug of war over preconditions. the u.s. has been very firm about their position toward north korea. to make matters worse, as you said, north korean security authority took into custody 85-year-old american, and this situation impedes more any efforts to improve north korea and u.s. relations. probably north korea did this in order to get washington's att

we spoke to a nuclear agreement with north korea. although some think the deal could set a precedent for a deal with the north. local experts here in south korea are skeptical the sea that iraq and north kirby are fundamentally different which affects the amount and degree of control the international community has in spades the scariest scenes it's neither program as a deterrent against external threats and so most experts think it is very unlikely that tonya will relinquish its nuclear program. it claims to be in euclid seed and so there's very little room for the kind of exchange that can be to a deal. young and dropped out of a new leg nonproliferation treaty in nineteen eighty three and then the country went ahead with three new bill is passed you on the other hand is party to the npt and cleans its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. in addition the international community does have something valuable to offer you're on a steam train ride suspension of some of its activities the lifting of certain economic solutions in th

does that have for north korea's? first of all of that agreement is reached it will have been a product in large part of the concerted pressure that the members of the international community had applied particularly through broad sweeping economic sanctions. it will be the product of cooperative effort over years between the united states, france, britain, russia, china and germany. not a dissimilar configuration part to the six-party configuration and the fact that the p5+1 had come together and negotiate from a position of strength with the backing of the security council and international sanctions may have created an opening. in the case of north korea we have had similar unity and economic pressure and indeed china and the united states along with the other members of the six parties have stepped up increasingly the pressure on north korea. north korea has not yet taken a decision partly perhaps because it's from a lower economic base and is far less open in fact to the international community then is iran to re

there is more hope on the iran side than the north korea side. what failed in north korea they never gave us the capacity to really verify the agreement. they gave us capacity to verify the graphite moderator reactor, but frankly, we could do that from outer space. they did not allow us into undeclared sites, with that we could not continue. i think uranium enrichment is really key in iran. it's going to be tough to do this verification, but i think at least we have a more robust system of availability to verify. with sanctions with north korea, we never really relaxed sanctions. at one point we held $23.000000 of their money that was frozen to a bank in macao. we ultimately gave them back $23 million, but i don't think north korea was going to do something or not do something over $23 million. in iran there is the extraordinary length and breadth of these financial sanctions has been something that plays a completely different and far more strong role in the iran deal. >> quickly, mr. ambassador, before we go, there are many in congress who are
