peninsula mark the 70th anniversary of the start of the korean war and that does seem to be possibly what we are seeing now it's a touch of good cop bad cop and we are seeing the good cop emerge in the form of kim jong un but also possibly this is a way of taking the pressure off to see whether this latest war of words has achieved anything diplomatically if the whole point of this was to put pressure on the south koreans to spook them if you like into then putting pressure on the u.s. then maybe this is a chance to give that. time to work to see if it has achieved anything although it is debatable just how much the u.s. is concerned about what's happening on the korean peninsula at the moment with everything else that it has to worry about rob thanks very much that's right macbride bringing us up to date from seoul and these 2 syrian soldiers have been killed and 4 others have been wounded in israeli airstrikes the missiles hit a military outpost near the city of squatting in the south positions in other regions were also targeted. abu dhabi is providing support to syrian intelligen

peninsula. more on the star now from seoul with pride as far as we can tell the d.m.z. itself remains quiet but i think it is true to say that given the recent very fast unraveling of relations across that border there has been an uptick in tensions we have the north apart from apparently reinstalling these loud speakers presumably once more to start blaring propaganda out across the barbed wire the north has said that it is going to reestablish guard posts just inside the d.m.z. which had been taken away as a way of deescalating tensions there have also announced that they're going to start they're going to resume military exercises near the d.m.z. so there is a rise in tension and of course it's not helped by this evolution launches like this one the defectors themselves will claim this as a major success but it remains unclear just how many of these balloons have actually made it across the d.m.z. into north korea it is not a very exact science and in fact at least one of the balloons and som

north korea seems set on creating a new crisis on the korean peninsula. it has already cut the hotlines across the demilitarized zone, making any attempt at reconciliation more difficult, and possibly signaling the return to the extreme tensions of the past. something the liberal south korean president moon jae-in has wanted to avoid at all costs, but even his government seems to be returning to acrimonious warnings. we sternly warn that we will strongly respond if the north continues to take steps to worsen the situation. reporter: adding all responsibility for this destructive act falls on the north. correspondent joins us now over the phone from the south korean capital, seoul. what can you tell us about these latest developments, resuming exercises new the border with the south? reporter: that's right. it is north korea increasing its inflammatory language. the north korean official news agency on its website carrying images of the destruction of caringaison office, also threats to troops in the industrial area, being pulled back to allow these joint

listening to your remarks, somebody looking at and analyzing the korean peninsula stalemate and issue, it was very striking to find that the semblance between the circumstances back in 1950 and probably today, 70 years later, where the korean peninsula has a very strategic, geographical and political significance, not just in the region but on the world. with your title being "fearing the worst," now with north korea with its advanced nuclear weapons program of mass destruction, the situation has become more serious. i'd like to ask what implications of -- because president trump has been emphasizing his willingness and interest to withdraw troops from the korean peninsula. how that would, even if it did not happen now, continued mentioning of it would have on a future situation, considering the atcheson line did not include the korean peninsula, south korea? >> well, i think you know as well as i do, having worked on these things in seoul, that our current president has divined a way to make virtually every international relationship we have worse. to start an engagement with the nor

we are getting some news out of the korean peninsula we should bring to the viewers. north korea appears to have blown up the injury in office -- office.rean more details are coming but smoke and an exploding sound -- were discovered. separate reports are suggesting north korea detonated the office, citing south korea military but north korea has threatened to abolish the office in some form so that is why that is perhaps a conclusion. the headlines in themselves, lacking clarity as they are, seem to be driving currency markets. the currency complex, according to our markets live colleagues, looking less buoyant. some risk currencies coming off of their highs come of the thai baht, the korean won, dropping as a result. this is why we mention it. european futures look fairly buoyant. minutes from the market open, let's get to our stocks to watch. joining us is dani burger with the details. dani: one of the stocks to watch this morning is zalando. kinnevik, a technology firm, will sell a big chunk of shares in zalando. the total price tag, about 610 million euros. like

>> well i think we can see it simply in the tension that still exists on the korean peninsula within the nuclear crisis. but you mentioned it was sometimes called the forgotten war and that's partly because it was an indecisive conflict in a far off place. it came just five years after the good war or the great war, world war ii. then it was eventually overshadowed by the vietnam war. but when we look back, you can see this was a watershed moment in the 20th century history because it militarized the cold war and communist and capitalist worlds. it also was the first undeclared war of the united states in its history and of course that is all we have had since. it remains the last conflict between great powers, in this case america and china and with soviet help on the chinese north korean side. and it really made permanently militarized the united states within just a few years. the defense budget quadrupled in the early fifties. in that sense, the pentagon never looked back after that. we can see today, as i have said, in the nuclear crisis that this is really rooted in that war. b

hopes kept growing within into korean summit a few months later. the young young and sole promise to pursue a denuclearization of the peninsula. there were even talks of a permanent peace deal. then the moment many thought would never happen a u.s. president setting foot on north korean soil donald trump held face to face meetings with the north's kim jong un but the much hyped talks didn't amount to much. last november the north again increased its long range missile tests. the north korean defectors based in south korea recently sent balloons with propaganda leaflets across the border filmed young threatened with consequences even military action. the comments announced on north korean t.v. were attributed to kim jong un's influential sister kim jong north the leader himself she's a close ally who's become one of the regime's most powerful voices in recent years . these latest developments another only a big setback to ongoing peace efforts but also a personal defeat for south korea's president moon in whose administration had been pushing for a

peace is a right that we korean citizens deserve to relish making a peaceful korean peninsula with no chance of yet another war is a duty by the people upon the state estimates vary but as many as 3000000 people are thought to have died in the korean war around half of them civilians that's a disproportionately heavy toll that means the war's legacy is still felt just as keenly 7 decades on in both careers north and south surviving veterans in the south complained of insufficient pensions and many feel abandoned by the country they helped save. it was our sweat and sacrifice that led to victory and to the remarkable development of our country. is more time has passed it's become a forgotten war the appreciation for those who fought and more injured has faded a lot and with each year there are fewer to remember 1st hand what happened as their generation fades robin bride al-jazeera soul. just ahead on the sports we'll hear from the american racing driver who says that his integrity is being unfairly challenged andy here with that and the rest of the day's actions for. how to get it try
