Reporter its remarkable, brian, i was outside of the train station last week, but the news reader who announces all the big events in north korea, the deaths of the leaders, the five Nuclear Tests and now this launch today. She came up on a big screen, and hundreds of north koreans gathered, they stopped, they watched, they paid attention and when she announced the words of the governments latest achievements they started clapping, thats maybe because they have to, or maybe because they want to, but it truly shows the Propaganda Machine in north korea.
