Sworn enemy. What if i told you im an american . Do you want to shoot me two . Unpress denncedented access, hi until now. Come with me to the secret state, inside north korea. North korea, a nation holding its Nuclear Sword over the u. S. And its allies, threatening to strike at any time, a society in a constant state of readiness for war. Life on the inside is a mystery to most of the world. Ive reported from north korea more than a dozen times offer t over the last few years. Each time we open the door a little more and see this country and its people in unexpected ways. Just like this. Yup, even in north korea kids love video games. For these 14 and 15yearolds, these are not just games. This is practice for real life. Most of these boys and a lot of the girls will spend their first years of adulthood serving in the Korean Peoples army, just like their parents and grandparents before them. What do you like about this game . Translator killing the enemy. Who is the enemy . Reporter americans. Reporter this hatred of americans stems from the korean war. North korea trcontradicts weste historia historians. Who do you want to fight . To fight the sworn enemy, americans. What do they teach you about americans in school . Translator they forcibly insaturdayi invaded us, buried them alive and killed them. They teach you americans are the enemy and you need to shoot them and fight them . Yes. What if im told you im an american, do you want to shoot me, too . Yes. There are good people. Well see if youre a good person or a bad person. Im a Good American so dont shoot me. U translator um, no, i wont shoot. This is the paradox of north korea, smiling, polite, even as they tell me they hate the United States. From their earliest years, these children could attack at any time, told they must prepare for the next war. In north korea government minders watch our every move and restrict what we can film, even if this is what we want to see, High School Students horsing around at the beach. I cant help but wonder what do they actually know about america. Are you an nba fan . Translator no, i just wear it to play sports. Have you ever heard any american movies or heard American Music . Translator no. Ever heard of facebook or twitter or instagram . Translator no, not at all. What would you expect an american to be like . Translator big nose and harry chest. Big nose and harry chest. I dont have a hairy chest, do i have a big nose . Translator with a nose like that, it is big sort of. They become visibly upset when they realize im an american. I wont interrupt your game anymore. It was nice to meet you guys. Reporter this is a camp, considered the best in north korea. Entire School Classes compete for a chance to spend two weeks at camp. Many of these kids have never seen anything like it, but this is something they know well. The first thing you see when you walk into this camp, the statue. Everything here, just like Everything Else in north Korea Centers around the leaders. These children have been taught a fierce loyalty to their nations leaders, all members of the kim family. Photos and statues are everywhere, songs of praise are staples. Even at this Birthday Party students sing about the leaders. Translator he gives us more love than even our paints crent give. Why do you consider your leader like your father . Translator hes affectionate and more caring than my own parents. He gives us more love than either our parents can give. This boy, who just turned 14, says his own parents cant afford to give him a meal like this. Many of north koreas 5 million children come from towns and villages where the basics, electricity, clean water, nutritious food are not always available. Translator i declare i will become a true member of the childrens union who studies better in order to repay the love of respected leader kim jong un. These young people are the future of north korea, an entire generation brought up to worship their Supreme Leader, no skepticism, no dissent, no questions, only loyalty for life.

Our government minders are taking us from north koreas capital, pyongyang to a costal city on this bumpy road that takes almost five hours. Weve been driving through a couple of hours through the countryside and weve just gotten stopped at a check point, already several minutes now our minders are speaking with the police officer, not sure whats happening. He doesnt want to see to let us pass. Travel here can be restricted and it can be nerveracking. Turns out the only concern this time is about our big van disturbing the work ahead. Driving on we see men and women laboring in dark tunnels. Much of the north korean countryside is undeveloped with very little infrastructure, but that also means the landscape is relatively untouched and i must say the scenery is striking. Majestic mountains, thick forests. And this seaside city. We made it here to juan san, popular for tourists, known for great seafood, fishing and something else. Wan san is one of north koreas main Missile Launch sites and theyve been launching missiles at an unprecedented pace. North korea even has intercontinental ballistic missile, potentially Nuclear Capable and within striking range of the u. S. For the first time ever. In the 1980s north koreas fo founder, president kim ilsung launched the first missile but since kim jong un came into power, hes advanced the Program Faster than predicted. Why do they keep doing this . For one, propaganda. Each launch helps north koreas leaders project power but also its like an insurance policy for the regime, protecting it from the and its allies. Have you ever heard the miss snils. Of course. We see it going up. This man has lived here his whole life. As a north korean, when you see these missiles in the sky, what message does that send to you . It gives me great pride. So did this massive military drill along the beach, personally supervised by kim jong un. Many North Koreans dont even understand why the u. S. And the world feel threatened. Translator why is the Trump Administration constantly imposing sanctions and stuff when we are doing these Missile Launches . And all for our own defense capability . Were defending ourselves. Is there any criticism, anything youd like to see your leader or government do differently . Translator nothing at all. Im so satisfied. Keep in mind during all my trips, ive never heard anyone criticize the authoritarian government. North korea has zero tolerance for dissent of any kind. What happens to people who break the rules . The United Nations says hidden in the hills, the country has a network of prison camps where torture and executions are common. North korean officials deny the allegations. They do say criminals are punished appropriately. Aside from missiles, one of juan sans proudest achievements is a new hydroelectric power plant. Were told the lights in the city stay on for 4 hours a day, a rarity in north korea. In fact, when we stopped for dinner at a tea house miles away from wansan, the light go out within minutes. Nobody seems phased by. We dine on wild pheasant by flashlight. North korea may have mastered launching missiles but generating electricity is an ongoing struggle. Thats good. Odell.

See what a Raymond JamesFinancial Advisor can do for you. Weve traveled to parts of north korea that few foreigns are foreigners have ever seen. In here the war never ended. The quiet countryside is middled with land mines. No filming is allowed here. Now our got minders are letting us do a little souvenir shopping. Ive never seen a gift shop like this. These post cards are some of the more popular items. This reads to the u. S. Hardline, we will counter it with the ultra hardline. Can you buy them right here. If you think the postcards are inten intense, wait until you read the posters. You dont need to read korean, the u. S. Capital there. Symbolish says it all. Thats the capital and thats a giant fist crushing the u. S. Im sensing a theme here. What makes all of this even more surreal is where we are. The korean Demilitarized Zone or dmz, a place unlike any other in the world. To understand the dmz,y need to go back the end of world war ii, the soviets and americans divided korea, just like they did germany. And the korean war set the two super powers against each other with koreans caught in the middle. 3 million of them died. Technically the war never ended. And arm a cyst agreement left them facing each other across the parallel, the dmz. When you actually live here, does it feel tense . Do you feel like youre on the brink of a war . Translator i think its not an exaggeration to say we are living at the brink of war given that we are constantly receiving threats of war. South korean and american soldiers staring down north korean soldiers and vice versa. They call this the Demilitarized Zone but its the exact opposite. Both sides have masses of soldiers up and down this heavily fortified border, pointing weapons at each other. Its considered one of the most dangerous flash points in the world. Reporter and its getting worse. A lot has changed since i came here back in 2015. More nuclear tests, dozens of Missile Launches. Does it feel more tense now . Translator yes. We can say the state of affairs is more tense but its rather the United States continued hostile policy against north korea reaching its peak. If you got the order right now, what would the military do . Translator as soon as we receive the order from our supreme commander, we would liberate north korea and change to a sea of fire. Reporter maybe its time to change the conversation. Whats your favorite kind of music . Translator my favorite is our revolutionary song, the song praises kim jong un. I really like classic rock. Have you ever heard any classic rock . Translator i think ive heard of it before but im not sure. Whats your favorite sport . Translator i like basketball. You like basketball . Im terrible at basketball. Okay, so we dont have much in common, but i think hes warming up to me. We say goodbye as friends. Thank you very much. Its good to see you. Im glad were meeting like this and not on the battlefield. Next stop, kay song, the north korean city closest to the dmz. Whats it like to be so close to south korea but youre not able to go . Translator it hirurts. Youve been asking about south korea a lot and im not able to go. Reporter we so close, modern economy, thriving skyline, do you ever ask why you dont have that here . We have pyongyang, its been built with our own power, or own independent technology. How can seoul compete with that . I cant help but wonder what would his life be like if his family ended up a few miles south after the korean war, driving back to pyongyang, i have no idea were been to experience one of the strangest days ive ever had in north korea. It begins like every other morning in pong yank. This music is the citys alarm clock played every day beginning at 5 a. M. To commemorate the sacrifices of north koreas leaders. We head to the Pyongyang International airport for the arrival of a v. I. P. , Dennis Rodman has been invited back for another round of socalled basketball diplomacy. Dennis, are you bringing a message from President Trump to north koreas Supreme Leader kim jong un . Im just here to see friend s and have good time. Distracted by rodman, we have no idea a secret is happening. Warmbier came here on a private sightseeing tour after a night out on the town to celebrate new years eve, the university of virginia student was accused of trying to steal a propaganda banner for the wall of his hotel. For that he got a 15year sentence. Soon after, mysteriously he ended up with a brain injury. In north korea, Otto Warmbier has been released. Lets go straight to our will ripley. This was one of our hardest reports ive had to give. Id spoken just weeks earlier with warmbiers parents. At the time they had no idea about his condition.

Together, were building a better california. Were heading 40 miles south of pyongyang to a place where people are definitely not used to seeing foreigners. Even getting permission to come here is complicated. Theres a lot of discussions that are happening, making sure that were going to the right place, speaking to the right people. But were not headed for a sensitive military site or secret prison camp. What we want to see is a farm. Farming is a sensitive subject in north korea. The nation still struggles to feed its own people. Limited farmland and aing is drought could put millions at risk. The United Nations world food progr program estimates 18 million koreans dont have a civil diverse diet. They survive on basic staples, rice, basic porridge called kim chi. This handful of farmers seems to be putting on a demonstration for our benefit. After they finish, tried to asked them some questions. Most of the group is camera shy but this woman has plenty to say. Translator the thing i am fond of is for us farmers its the land, just taking care of the land. How long have you been doing this . Translator its been about ten years since i came here. Whats the farthest that youve ever traveled from home . Translator not that far. If you could go, if you could leave north korea and go to any other place in the world, where would you like to visit . Translator id want to visit the u. S. Her answer surprises me. No north korean has ever told me they want to visit the United States. Translator i want to see what on earth the u. S. Looks like to be harassing Korean People so much. Its so hard for us right now because of it. I really curse the americans and want to destroy their land. Now i understand her answer. Its very nice to meet you. I wish you the best. So now were being taken to a familys home. This is a family that has been selected for us. Like most families in this farming coop, they grow their own crops in the front yard. Offering to share some of their food with us. They tell me this is a typical lunch. Ooh, its got a kick to it. Its strong. Duck eggs, bean paste and rice wrapped in lettuce with spices, simple, healthy, delicious. A lot of people in the outside world think that people in north korea still are starving. How is the food supply now . I ask about a time most North Koreans didnt have enough to eat, the north korean famine of the late 1990s, hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of North Koreans died of starvation. We ate tree bark after going up to the mountain for food and wondered just how long well have do this but its not a problem now compared to that. This is all home grown. After farming for a year, we get rice and money to live off of, which is great. This house, i got it for free. He gives me a tour. Like every north korean living room, there portraits of the late leaders. Translator this is a photo of our family and the general when he came to visit. You have a dvd player here. What kind of dvds do you like to watch . Translator cooking and lifestyle, new songs, movies. I watch a lot of them. You have ever seen any western movies . Translator no, we dont watch them. We wouldnt even if we could. He does watch state tv, and he listens to propaganda broadcasts on the radio. But his favorite ritual, like many of his generation, reading the newspaper. How important is the state media to getting information about whats happening . It gets broadcast to erch, through television and newspaper on that day. The reaction is amazing. So what do you know about President Trump . What have you heard about him . My opinion from reading the newspaper, i think President Trump is an impulsive person. I think hes impulsive and not calm. And so hes losing the trust of the american people. Trust, something so few americans have in poile but what about here in north korea. Here the message is tightly controlled, the leader is almost always the lead story and theres only one source of information the government. So you believe everything you read in the paper. Translator yes, we believe it, 100 . Ask anyone and theyll give you the same answer. No fake news in north korea. Hey grandpa. Hey, kid. Really good to see you. You too. You tell grandma you were going fishing again . Maybe. vo the best things in life keep going. Thats why i got a subaru, too. Introducing the allnew crosstrek. Love is out there. Find it in a subaru crosstrek. To f. Nerve pain shoots and burns its way into your day. I hear you. When that pain makes simple errands simply unbearable. I hear you. I hear you because my dad struggled with this pain. Make sure your doctor hears you too. So folks, dont wait. Step on up. And talk to your doctor. Because you have places to go. And people who cant wait for you to get there. If you have diabetes and burning, shooting pain in your feet or hands. Step on up and talk to your doctor today. To make something original. Has grown into an enterprise. Thats why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. Now, im earning unlimited 2 cash back on every purchase i make. Everything. Which adds up to thousands of dollars back every year. And helps keep my passion growing. In every direction. Whats in your wallet . When i feel controlled by frequent, unpredictable abdominal pain or discomfort and diarrhea. I tried Lifestyle Changes and overthecounter treatments, but my symptoms keep coming back. It turns out i have Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea, or ibsd. A condition thats really frustrating. Thats why i talked to my doctor about viberzi. A different way to treat ibsd. Viberzi is a Prescription Medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. So i can stay ahead of my symptoms. Viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. Do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, longlasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. Pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. If you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. The most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. Stay ahead of ibsd with viberzi. This is the north korea youve seen on the news, the north korea they want you to see. Chest puffing displays of National Unity and military m might. Perfectly executed by tens if not hundreds of thousands of people. What you dont see, countless hours of mandatory practice before work, after school, on sundays, in the rain and the cold. North korea knows how to put on one hell of a show. This is a much more modest version. Bright and early each morning, these women are out waving flags to motivate fellow citizens to work harder, discipline, dedication, revolutionary f fervor. Its all expected if youre one of 3 million North Koreans allowed to live in pyongyang. Pyongyang has a surprisingly colorful, modern skyline. Sure, its full of grandiose monuments idol uizing the late Supreme Leaders, the ideology of selfreliance. But recent years have seen a slew of new construction projects, futuristic buildings, skyscrapers, all pet projects of their Supreme Leader, kim jong un. He ordered north korean soldiers to build this entire street of residential high rises in one year. Top Party Officials give all the credit to their leader for his tireless work. Its here we find north koreas version of the apple store. The brand, named for the iconic korean folk song, the store manager said out of three north korean cell phone brands, this is by far the top seller. What are the main differences between the top brands . This brand is well known to our young people. It is known to our young people. I noticed the price over there, 350 for a phone is a lot of money for anyone anywhere. How do people afford these phones . Translator it just means our peoples Living Standard went up that much. We never do get a clear answer as to how people can actually afford all this. North koreas average income is around 4 a day. Here people are buying smartphones, tablets, highfi speakers, hgtvs. This customer says shes loves listening to music and playing games on her new phone, including one that looks an awful lot like angry birds. Do you like sharing photos with your friends . Yeah. Do you like taking selfies . Yeah. Thats good. I like yours better. North koreans can seasnd text messages, read the scores. One they they cannot do is connect to the nt net. They can only connect to an intra net, completely monitored. Do you have anything like google . Yes, we do. We have our own data search system. Our version of google. Its a search engine. The search results, only governmentsanctioned content. What about social media . Do you have anything here like facebook or instagram or twitter but the north korean version . Translator yes, we have it. Its currently only being used on computers, but were still working on developing it in our own way for cell phones. Next we visit a north Korean Department store where filming is usually strictly forbidden. We see people buying grocery, mostly north korean products like beer and also brand you might recognize, usually chinese imports. China continues to trade eheaviy will north korea. On the top floor theres a huge food court. We see people piling their plates with all kinds of korean food. Yes, i did try the fish head. I also tried the american style fast food, complete with pretty familiar packaging. Doesnt get more american than french fries and milkshakes. Even the color scheme. Its actually good. After lunch, more shopping. All the art in north korea is state sanctioned, which manse a lot of landscapes and plenty of siberian tigers, considered an Unofficial National symbol. Pyongyang has a growing consumer class and for them, Living Standards are improving under kim jong un. The north korean economy grew by almost 4 in 2016 according to south Korean Central Bank estimates. Which means people have more ways to enjoy their rare time off, like this group of factory workers having a picnic and singing karaoke. Theyre happy to share their meal with us and seem even happier to let loose. We expect North Koreans to work hard. This we dont expect.

Plans now start at 40 per line for four lines. Cnn has been reporting from north korea for more than 25 years. The aircraft were boarding today has been flying for 50. This an 24 is part of an aging fleet of soviet planes, operated by air corio, north koreas only airline. Still flying despite sanctions with regular International Flights to china and russia. Our flight takes us 400 miles north of pyongyang to a place cnn has never been alowed before. As a western journalist, even setting foot here is extraordinary. Somjong county is a mountainous region, north Koreas Nuclear test site is in the very next province. Were not here for nuclear tests, were here for the highest point on the korean peninsula, also an active volcano. State propaganda glorified the kim family for their mt. Peck tew blood line. The blood line is considered a noble heroic lineage, tied to the ancestral rulers, ancient, legendary kings of the korean peninsula. Their tombs are national landmarks. Visited by droves of north korean citizens. But the ultimate journey is to the mountain itself. Still hours away on bumpy dirt roads. Weve never been this far inside rural north korea. Can we take pictures . No . We catch only fleeting glances of the groups marching by. Quick peeks at the Living Conditions in these deep rural areas. Were allowed to stop just for a few minutes in a tiny farming village. The children on their way home from school are amused. Its quite possible theyve never seen anyone who looks like me. Were looking at them and theyre looking at us as well. Every time i try to take a picture of those girls, they run away. We eventually make it to this sleepy town. The center piece, yet another monument to the late kill ilsun. Were led to a vacant building where he led a surprise attack. China is five miles that way up over that hill and this is a simple life out here. You dont see shiny buildings, you dont see a whole lot of new construction. You see People Living a slow, simple life. Down another windy road another site North Koreans consider sacred, a cabin near the Mountain North korea claims is the birth place of kim jung il. Outside historians say he was born in russia. But here the story of his mystical birth. Translator so it was really cold and the weather was not normal but somehow the day the general was born the strong wind stopped all of a sudden, the sun started shining through. Everything was bright and a quiet calm took over. The flowers bloomed and in the sky was a particularly did that actually happen . Yes, it actually happened. Its not a legend. Our general is really a person who hasnt sent to us. So he changed the weather too. People from the outside hear these stories and they wonder how any of this could possibly be true. Its hard to explain in one word but our general is so great we cant say its only a legend. Nature actually transformed itself to announce the birth of our general to the whole world, blessing it. Thats how it happened. I realize for North Koreans this is their faith, just like the bible, quran or torrau. When they come here theyre making a pilgrimage. Why is this place so special and meaningful for you . Its the soul of north koreas revolution. The spirit of our people and our pride. We are members of a great country of bektu. You know in a lot of ways this mountain is the way that North Koreans view their lives. One big tough climb. Ads we reach the top, one of the most breath taking views ive ever seen. Now i understand why North Koreans are visibly emotional when they come here. It symbolizes their achievement s. After more than a dozen trips to north korea i cant help had but believe at heart we share it same hopes, the same struggles for food and shelter, for safety and security. To learn and to live. But i wonder is it all at risk . On september 3rd, north korea tested its most powerful Nuclear Weapon ever. North korea will be met with fire and fury. American officials responded with words of war. He is begging for war. And shows of force. Now the world waits and watches uncertain of our common future
