malaysian police are focusing their investigation on pyongyang. surveillance footage from kuala lumpur international airport appears to offer some clues to kim jong-nam's final moments. the grainy images show a man thought to be kim entering the departure hall and heading to a check-in machine. one woman grabs his attention. another dressed in white comes up behind him and appears to hold something over his face. the two women then calmly walk off in different directions. more footage shows the man walking up to airport staff and seemingly explaining what happened. staff members escort him to a clinic. only now he seems unsteady on his feet. the man is then moved on to a stretcher. he died on the way to hospital. the police have detained two women in connection with the death. one is from indonesia and the other from vietnam. a north korean man is also in custody. the police also confirm they're searching for four other suspects. they're all north korean men who left the country together the same day kim was killed. the murder has set off a diplom

but the big question is, does pyongyang really listen? are they really affected by what the world says? well, that is exactly it. it seems that kim jong—un, in defiance, really, of all these security council resolutions, is continuing to make a statement with these launches. now, when i spoke to diplomats here they said they do believe that sanctions are working, that the sanctions do take time. they have increased targeted economic sanctions, as it freezes, and so the council was really looking at every which way they can affect the economy and try to encourage kim jong—un to walk away from that path of nuclearisation. but clearly it is a big sore in the security council here, even with north korea's main ally, china, on its side when they imposed the sanctions, it still wasn't enough to get any real action. so do something that the security council in this meeting said they would stay a ci’oss. “— meeting said they would stay a cross. —— it is something that the security council said in this meeting they would stay across.

not what you'd expect in pyongyang. even here in north korea during holidays or weekends, we sit with friends, talk about work and life, says a commercial manager. north korea watchers say this is light years away from how most people live in one of the poorest countries in it the world. >> what is the biggest difference between your life here in north korea and the rest of the outside world? we are a a socialist country. i think that's the main difference, says this researcher, a socialist country with a high end department store selling everything from gourmet groceries to flat screen tvs. all despite unprecedented sanctions over north korea's nuclear programs. this is not the norm. that life is vastly different in other parts of north korea. the u.n. world food program says millions face serious food shortages and suffer is malnutrition. ponk yong is yang is the capital of our country. so it's true, pyongyang develops faster, but our state policy is to grow both rural and urban areas simultaneously. they promised to

malaysia has also recalled its envoy from pyongyang for consultations. celia hatton reports. the assassination of this man appears to have involved a widening cast of characters. four have already been detained in the poisoning of kimjong—nam, including a woman holding a vietnamese passport, who could be this person from the crime scene, and this indonesian woman, who said she was tricked into participating. she says she thought she was on a television prank show. one north korean citizen is also in custody, thought to be the man escorted here by malaysian police. and now the authorities have asked for interpol‘s help to find at least four more north koreans, who all entered and exited malaysia using regular passports. and i can confirm today that they have left our country, the very same day the incident happened. and more suspects are also wanted, people of interest who might know how kim jong—nam's killing was carried out. four suspects have been identified, which could assist us very much in the investigation. but still the question of what will be done with kim jon

there were two rounds of sanctions levied against the regime in pyongyang, and they were escalating in the first and the second. but those sanctions were levied after two different nuclear tests. and what we're talking about here is not a nuclear test, and frankly, we're not talking about an intercontinental ballistic missile. so exactly how the u.n. security council is going to respond we're not sure yet. but what is different about this particular test compared to other tests of intermediate-range missiles is how this missile is being fueled. in the past they were fueled by liquid fuel. this appears to be, according to officials we have spoken to, this missile is being fueled by solid fuel, and that gives a couple different strategic advantages to the north koreans. it allows the missiles to be more mobile. they don't have to be put into mace, a place, and it also of allows them to be launched faster. it's not to the level of a nuclear weapon test and it's not an intercontinental ballistic missile, something pyongyang is working on as we speak. >> matt, thank you for the report. >> s

but the big question is, does pyongyang really listen? are they really affected by what the world says? well, that's exactly it. it seems that kim jong—un, in defiance, really, of all these security council resolutions, is continuing to make a statement with these launches. now, when i spoke to diplomats here, they said they do believe that sanctions are working, but the sanctions do take time. they have increased targeted economic sanctions, asset freezes, and so the council is really looking at every which way they can affect the economy, and try to encourage kim jong—un to walk away from that path of nuclearisation. but clearly it is a big issue in the security council here. even with north korea's main ally, china, on its side when they imposed the sanctions, it still wasn't enough to get any real action. so it is something that the security council said in this meeting they would stay across. neda tawfik there. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. 32 people have been killed after a tour bus crashed on a road near ta
