a big day. so i came to a the daughter of north korean leader kim jong on not long ago, she began accompanying her father to military parades and rocket launches. even though she's believe to be only 11 or 12 years old. the will she take over the helm of the north korean dictatorship one day and because of the iron grip on power that the kim denise state has wielded for more than 7 decades. the

news . the date august 2022. just 3 months after announcing its 1st case of cobit 19 north korea. declan pandemic was as a comrade, kim, jo, john, vice president of the central committee of the workers, party of korea to do comrade vision in the summer. and just review the 7 days of battle against the pandemic

sheep and the last $9.00 to $1.00 days i witnessed many dramatic situations and was hoping to get him the substitute on that or this was the 1st be challenge by kim jones. younger sister came jo joan, on north korean television. when she spoke about her brother's recovery from cove it, many in the audience went listen, lindsay hello. soon as i didn't do any also send you the total time she will give you a piece or she'll those with terrible moments when i was unable to help. ah, great need to put on wants to do more session and most of were posted. you have to confront the crisis alone, missing a times distraught and despairing, which is also gone through. these are so some of the on tuesday my team, jo joan, is deputy director of the propaganda administrative. not a talk to her brother. she's widely regarded as the countries number to leader. since 1948, 3 generations of the came family of rule,

the democratic people's republic up north korea. without absolute power, good deals to me to the county, under the, to the stairs. or what are you talking about? controls. korea doesn't have a monica. you'll get us with doesn't have a royal family quote to me. instead, me like trace the lineage pack your what, like hold amount back to that line. you go to look a symbolism don't within the kind of more than one video, then that's when you're now back is a place of pilgrimage. football team members in north koreans coverage new. so many

of you so, but such similar stuff gets revered as the place where kim il sung, stand with it, and that the resistance against japanese occupation is also recorded as the birthplace of kimmy john hill. you'll get a bus home just to let this go to the cross. can you? so when you see the power meal, so and kim dunghill things were going to the site as is this mountain, it's similar to what definitely hadn't made as the christians getting this founding miss help secure the kim family's hold on power, which is not quite as secure as it would be under a month case, the domestic dictatorship had to create its own cult of personality. and all righty the

also to choose you to include those who put the source on it to the, to the new to money to the propaganda message was repeated in chinese, japanese spanish and english move intended to suggest the north koreans that its leaders were also reviewed abroad the climbing back to the sacred revolution, the mountain jim. it was 77 in motion. whenever i climbed mount factor, i think of come re jimmy jim you to mount back to is his best place and the trailing whately and richard his courage mount back to it's jim junior's mountain at the same time. s being jim in a sense of mountain, the owners of

the entire family stand united at the helm of north korea, kim il sung, and his sons came. joan ill on the present and unforgotten giant marvels of them. what even installed on the stage of the supreme people's assembly every decision made by came john own and his sister just came jo jones, i was an extension of the dentist do that as role the country for well over a half a century. and you're told she started to sell all the tennessee begun with came also do

a 1948 became the leader and founding father of north korea. in the 19th sixty's, a call to personality a matched which then to dictate to an almost god like status to this day, kim il sung is still regarded as supposed to bring him added tunnel. anita, of north korea in your in 1994. the son, kim jong il assumed power. according to legend, he was born on mt peck, 2, and was possessed of a powerful intellect and accomplishments. the

camry, jim juno, is an outstanding philosopher, statesman, and leader. but most of tile talents and capabilities is not only the greatest idle load core and see a red. the genius of the present time is the greatest man schumann. history has ever produced the greatest demand way as a boost in all the change on ill died in 2011. his youngest son, 27 year old, came joan on became his successor. at the time he was a complete unknown in north korea and abroad. but kim jong il had already paid the way by making strategic appointments to key positions before his death. the

as well as the a, you have the tools and as a shop, he was very young, senior with internet society and which seen yours who was extremely important. lots of that was a problem for him versus guns and the others also like you to tier to counter right at that by dressing very conservatively. um, if we try to model himself on his grandfather in appearance, you know as a young man that lent him some authority human gift to act the the, the, the, to the ton that a full lender. nobody knew him. so suddenly he pay it pretty, looked a lot like kimmel. so henri go, he's a lot who is baffled. is that

a candidate though? that's every public, a parent, kim jong. he's like his grandfather and spoke like him to talk to him. no, i don't wanna go to look over that and just don't want to go with you in a demonstration of power came john on dismissed a number of functionaries. ready ready ready an order at the arrest of his influential uncle jamestone tax. in december 2013, his uncle was executed for an edge to corruption. even the north korean press, domestic coverage was perennially slanted to the positive reported on james execution. the king john succeeded. is his father. you know, he's a young man,

we had information that he had gone to school in switzerland. we thought maybe this is a more cosmopolitan st gear who understand the international community. maybe he wanted better relations with the world. we were wrong. it turns out kim jung on is the most aggressive of the 3 kids, came jump on, installed his closest confidence at the center of power. above all, his sister came jo jones. the 2 of them had attended school together in switzerland and forged the relationship of unconditional trust. the board and vacation saw that if anything were to happen to came john own, his sister would be his successor. ensuring that the kim family would retain its

hold on power the kind of give what we see, the commutable one for the sale in north korea. there are 2 levels of legislation. today's, 1st of all, we have a constitution. bunch of populated states that north korea is a republican with general and secret election long drawn to kind of the 2nd level is the parties that you choose. they state that the party leadership is hereditary samouce, and each generation comes from the king family title code one to cut off. so the party is based on the ideology of kim il sung, and kim jones is and is supposed to work on behalf of they're interested in well,

and not the interests of the north korean people pounds. you're going to kind of time to go from both of the party statute. clearly out ranks, the constitution would be done. anyone who joins the party in north korea must swear to sacrifice everything to ensure that the regime is preserved from one generation to the next year. didn't you say so you go to so more than go through a bunch of drywall. i mean that's how the north korean system works is kind of in a coolant unit. so across the similar to him, i don't know which the north koreans out as part of the regime that owes its allegiance to the can. tennessee on the last day in and day out north to reinstate television, broadcast propaganda, images of a happy and prosperous people. the but the reality is more complex. the,

according to united nations reports in north koreans are obligated to keep watch over the neighbors and denounce any misbehavior. this network of mutual surveillance is intended to maintain control over the population and preserve an image of national pride and contentment the the task they create unit to 5 families monitor each of the ships set the above task. we have him in the unit of 60 families, the image because a man is, are you,

hey david, every admin, bottom as a unit tab, you should always know what's happening in every house. all, most people in the comes in, in the us has templates for 2 minutes. just going in and system will go down to the system of surveillance was created 75 years ago, which is how does evolved into a true system entirely new mental condition which is typically wouldn't go still the, there's no civil society, there's nothing on which for example, and universities or religion or all the areas where we, we often see revolution get going. the north korea government has shut all of that down. the

freedom of phones is not permitted in north korea. colleagues, neighbors and even family members can turn on one another. according to radio reports, one young man was sentenced to death for smuggling. the south korean t. v series squeeze came into the country. he had been denounced by his parents. most people have no internet access and comp make international phone calls. the kind of the jobs you got, cut them over. you don't use as yet. i'm going to, i mean, in north korea it's, it's not just the convicted person who was punished, but the entire family, which is a, you'll be diesel telescope. a son is shot for a crime against the fatherland. his parents, siblings, and even fellow students can be punished and discriminated against really the

buckets hulu button. you're not, i mean, okay, so what does have them do to get me? you know, anyone who would be prepared to sacrifice their own life or freedom and democracy really thinks twice before doing anything. so i'll work on that. i will have that are not doing no, they're also putting their entire family at risk equal to a p e. good, that's why the north koreans don't worry about. we quote your order. you'll know this is how the system maintains the status quotes you can consider jumping with you. if you are someone who desperately wants to free your people in north korea, maybe if it's just you, you would say, i'm willing to die for that to free my country. but are you willing to kill your grand parents and your children and your aunts and uncles? so that's the terrible, terrible way of control that there is even has over its people. you've done your students on the thought of a ton about them. you know, as soon as anyone is seen as a threat to execute a new but on congress,

he's without an investigation on a trial or a judge. yeah, i don't know that about palo in your system and you that's why came john own was able to order the execution of his uncle who to johnson's tackle and his half brother to his half brother kim jong was murdered in 2017 at the airport in malaysia, tuesday before the eyes of the entire world. we met in front of a surveillance camera mobilized us because the other opponents end up in labor and re education camps. international organizations estimate there are about 20 such camps in the country. according to the handful of survivors who were able to escape conditions in the camps re, i think most of the prisoners die of torture or hunger. well as a result of forced labor. it's estimated that between 100200000 opponents of the regime are currently incarcerated.

simons have also kills millions of north koreans most during the 19 ages and 1990 is. statistics like these cars made north korea one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, the, the old of all have under the tunnel. when i arrived in south korea, i heard something i didn't understand called the national committee for human rights. so i asked what it was. no, they were surprised and asked me don't, you know, it's an organization that protects our rights as human being utilized to qualify as to why do we need an organization like that? they reply to be, it's normal, isn't. there's something like that in north korea. the,

they didn't understand award complaint. and every woman dot, we asked the word like 60 women. they didn't understand the work, the words complained. and so we had to really explain them in different boards what it means. and they said that, yeah, you can't, you cannot complain that women's union will complain against you, that you didn't submit enough quote tests. so for them complained goes only one way the government can punish or to somehow criticize for not fulfilling certain duties that were they had such as bringing enough coal tests, but they don't have complaint. so they don't understand that in normal country

citizens have a right to complain. ready ready ready ready ready most korean capital kiln yang is home to about 3000000 people. ready the city lines on the tab on river, which is used as a source of hydro power and irrigation. the city center is a testament to the power of the king, tennessee. the defense ministry recalls north korea's great victories. the center of power is to come to some palace optis on the official military parades are held in its full cost. the jew,

jay towel lies on the other side of the river. to j is the official ideology of the north korean regime and means we will talk to you all self reliance is unofficially represents the cult of personality. surrounding that came tennessee, which is also called humanism. in recent years beyond gang has been transforming itself public transportation, which includes subways, bosses and street cars is being expanded. not long ago, a swimming pool opened to george going your way. you wrote an article or 2 and serious. so since he took office i control home, that's for kind of mind the only selection when it comes to try should have nuclear weapons and dig a 4 tons. he also invested a sizable portion of the military punch employment, and the private sector being gumple. this expanded the like manufacturing sex, time to come go to the gym. jo, issues with us from give tiller put down your service. life in the

capital has also changed the city look small west and not but the strict rules of the regime continue to hold sway these days more and more north koreans own a smartphone, but they can't be used for international calls and only a few out off emitted which have to be personally approved by came jones on himself . the more people also call nowadays on sundays traffic is bulky on yang. on usually heavy small hints of individual ality all taking hold in closing and fashion new buildings sprouting up oil changes intended to signal normality and modernity to

the outside. well, it's kind of main item in our phones aren't this this evening, not based on my own. observe ations, i can see that over the past 30 years and from the place in north korea has improved significantly. and usually even for ordinary people festival is of course the baseline was very low. the things have definitely improve medicine thought i thought of the people today have more options when it comes to consumption. swift and guns and that includes things like moving moods, transportation near hong this, the country has modernized long parts, although it is important to note the p on. yeah. and as we not the typical of north korea as a whole. north korea is as if you on yang is a level of above the rest of the country who do not respect them. the nice design does not. i've travelled across north korea and seen that things have improved everywhere for the p on yang stand out, because that's with the elite to live is on this. and of course, the leadership needs the support of

a lead to maintain political stability and just some push to lead to feel hopefully this you're starting to paid. like i mean and cargo to enjoy this plan, a survey of north korea to flip the country to join the dump continued digital that shows that i clearly prefer control home to his fault and that it can go into cooking table that can be done once. but i feel more of a connection to him this time i can see that he improved the stands of life. uh to do a huge amount of yourself. john hill, the only kid about the military and take care of junk football as liver likes to promote at the market. it will guide you on a search and get them to. so that's why they pinball hopefully have to jo and when you're in seller, cuz i'm on the printer so. so has some of this all i'm assuming duty. can you tell me about that and don't wanna do so? question don't mind to dig. i'm gonna support the whole for the deputy on national television. the regimes propaganda machine offers

a steady flow of evidence of programs in the country on every tv channel. the news cost describes the opening of factories and buildings and cutting symbols every time the city's new bosses also get the fashion of attention. yes, when you came, jo loan even made a personal appearance to inspect them. let me pull the camera up to you. if so, you're going to go to the legal be side, it wouldn't be nice to meet, you get closer to the noble determination of the policy and it you love. so the people has deals a different reality quote he pointed to that goes with the a me cuz she got so little is hand on the north korean media has definitely become more modern hot in into and you from doing you that wasn't gonna commit you to draw so fast to cuts, make television shows look much livelier than before. don't know who to talk again,

just because all those together on the instead of just one tv channel, there are now for you to view as can choose between different shows or which helps lands greater credibility to the programming. and even the countries most famous and as being swept off in the winds of change, when you cut them to choose the kids all will come read. kim jones stood for a commemorative photo with a walk as of korean television. it was an, it's a pause and then what's the point that evolved since the 19 seventy's 32, he has presented the country's most important news. torres audio subbing show and digital has got some need. we will fight against the enemy. tell, go you to tell them that you are potentate on everything from nuclear missile tasks, to the meeting between kim jones on the tv stations, employees. 3 to him, he was set to be his favorite news presenter.

a few days later came joan own presided over the you know, the ration ceremony for a new residential district. the dictator himself gave a reach him, he a key to a new luxurious residence. it was a reward for her loyalty to the regime. but as part of a wave of modernization for each one he was slated to be replaced by a young calling, you only get 7 know each for each that little bit you didn't or him. john own himself told the there was nothing more valuable than such a loyal worker who's been working in the media for 50 years and not i will get the video, but i'm going to kind of so really it's video guys. your time in day they go to menu and so you've had to go to all of the process in north korea serves a special purpose, could be the media professionals got to proudly call themselves the trumpeters of

the revolution to mail me, put you all how cool good, i made sure what you do. it's a, it's their job, people to support the revolution 100 and burnished the image of the great leader duty and mobilize the population, speak, carlos, acumen, and then an issue. and hopefully soon you go to them for to have him go to him. so tell me that the thing to jump it along with the news programs north korean t. v. awesome grow costs. major propaganda events. sometimes mandatory parades often civilian events. good. good to go to board in the meanwhile, there's a huge budget for projects that are important to the country to. that's one of kim duncan's new initiatives. going to do, it'll kill national ceremonies, are a much higher priority now than before. countrymen, they're supposed to make the population proud at the party, and the machine can show that the message that they're trying to convey is that kim

jones, north korea, is getting stronger and stronger. typically it's a powerful and well controlled country that's continuing to develop an interest in in that area. so typically that would impact on the way the school covers the device. no, to those over time, dynasties, lose their legitimacy tangent. good memories of the past begin to fade in that an adult. the grandfather waged, a war of liberation against the japanese, which was the basis of his legitimacy. okay. and kind of what you're personally doing and what 7080 years after the war means that legitimacy is fading creek up. kim john, this is under a lot of pressure to find a new basis for his power to him from someone up on this window to tell him what conditions are you calling me? see what we use to we are to mostly put so despite the strict regime north korea's

ion cotton has sprung. a few leaks. videos from south korea are being smuggled into the country more and more often. so you do but officially north korea. com to receive any south korean television content. bobs boot like copies of south korean t v series. and k pump videos are circulating widely the south korean activists regularly send helium balloons across the border along with pamphlets. the balloons sometimes carry us be stakes with western entertainments. the question is the new leaf crumbling. of course, it's as most north koreans know that south korea is richard because of it you go. most of them have seen a t v series from the south where, you know,

and you thought, what can they do with the bible? any resistance is punishable by death, would you consolidate, preferred to remain silent, taken for this was all the religion to maintain itself. image, knowles, korea is gold itself, off from foreign influence. the population is almost entirely sealed off from the outside world. then or limited to travel or use the internet, the man to come in and to put in the rest of that were in the can get writes off to mobile phones were introduced to you as low as possible to use a phone network across the north. korean, but on my lunch or dinner on that network, because people quick download south korean videos or american films on the cell phones, the light from one day to the next correspondence your thoughts, he's realized what was happening kind of help and they created their own closed internet system to put it up to continue it. cutting pundits are towing. what else

can you do me to go from jim jones and knew his way around the computer. so steve, i knew it was the technology of the future. cool. you limit suggestions. he understood the computer and communication technology could spell the collapse of his regime or so. so, so he, so isolated the country from the international community or the rent fan to the internet in north korea so well, and that's still true today. kind of introduce you a precedent for connection with typically on good kind of eyes when it comes to the comparison with the size of the 3 of those that i have the vantage point of coming from the former east germany in the day until 1990. i lived in east germany and we had television from the west radio from the west on a daily basis. and we had a reference point to meet comparison invest built in telephone. not that you had visitors from the west coast of phone calls. and this is the information that north koreans have. it says create is nothing like that. overall, they might have watched a soap opera and we heard a rumor about this,

but they don't have that daily. and that'll be too much new. i think that even with better access to information, most north koreans still have next, a new idea of what's actually happening in south korea. most of them definitely the most i conditions equally up to see and in full 2020, that came regime past the reactionary storage and culture denunciation role violations that the law punishable by public execution or internment in a labor camp. so the regime, the intensified repression, was that a success the number of people who attempted to flee the country dwindled the monitoring. but don't mind going to set up when you read mills korean newspapers. that's hopefully any news about what's happening on the other side of the florida. now mind age 6 of the road owns in the newspaper used to include news or south korea. you some that ended in 2020 and then

how long ago the north koreans recall the neighbors in the south koreans were rich to them now. and that's why the north camino authorities keep a tight rein on information about south korea. clinton to present an offer me an identity, you're going to look at the jefferson for . ready photo 26000000 residents of north korea. every aspect of life is strictly regulated. even the children are indoctrinated. the from the very start they learn. the story is about the great leaders and the power of the came dentist to get through to get some blood to enjoy

the con preschool children learn, but they came family rules, the country i took the bus meta critical, i to you guys saying i'm kind of every morning school children increase the portraits of kim jong. you sent him, you know, so what you saw and go to the 2nd because he said, just kind of brain washing is on the present from early childhood. and you don't till death or your eyes have a co well, don't worry about it because it's own bennett case. so you, it's very cool. the all children between 6 and 15 members of the korean childrens union, a political organization with ties to the welters bodies on important public days, 3rd graders across the country take part in initiations that room and is the

both boys and girls with the red scarf, of the young pioneers, they agreed to buy none less, then came jump on himself to the north koreans. this is the most important day of that childhood. the at 7 teens most north korean boys voluntarily enlist in the military as a demonstration of their loyalty to the state. the

most to be in men generally says to 80 is the longest mandatory military service in the world. the find a time to join the military. the young soldiers are usually fully indoctrinated. the site is studied, tied to propaganda videos to hone the will to find the or the

other one is we get off with them that north korea is an economically weak country with a small population commute to local pas on south korea and united states have long underestimate of the country and still claim that the only thing north korea has or nuclear weapons caught on of what north koreans are bred to be. very tough. you know, your con condos are incredibly determined and have a strong instinct for survival. you under to yeah. so even when you turn on the plus, they've grown up in a diagnostic system completely isolated from the outside world. and those are the fuel, their mentality is very simple and direct. you know, you can do, you call, they're very loyal to their country. and they cut them, everything they do is a matter of life and death, turn the wheel catching, you'll get them. and then when you decide to do that,

then the people of north korea support the regime north korea's nuclear program takes the lion's share of the country's results is but in the regimes propaganda, it's a necessary sacrifice. peggy doesn't need it. it has a good name. 1993, i joined the north korean army. when did it to the home address? that's when i learned the phrase nuclear weapons. it's not the you will. they told us that the american invaders wanted to conquer our beautiful country. and attack us with strange biological weapons, 3 weeks from industry and you were told us to go to protect ourselves. we needed nuclear weapons. you know, i work for you, you don't get to the chip to church. i don't want

you to test to miss on, which is a set of rated in the media and all parts of the country's national identity. if we sound reporting about missed on a launch is an increased military exercises. the ideology would collapse. it's a constant form of brain washing to ensure that the people remain submissive in ensuring that no one in the country would data question the regimes. power is a political strategy and a life insurance policy against the rest of the wells, the palmed, with a compulsory loyalty of its own people like him, dentist, he is determined to keep the rest of the world. but alms lines, the
