Thank you very much for joining us and forgive me. So talk to ken howard nor more scheduled were these recent exercises and to think that the shells that were unified in two of the south korean side of the northern limit line were intentional or accidental palm island would say this in between as imported kind of intention. As like cardinal current forty in which to me they were arrested at the bequest of artistic impulse buys one was he that he did some photo comment in response to the United Nations mission in june and then on the use of korean trained trio in the name of the dover trial so allah say that no property was settled. Wishing on tap to intimate the midrange recent past and the rivers and oceans and then softly as i did see something that not too into it. Famous operator italian responded with a cane and artillery shelling and the specs of the fire test it seemed to react appropriately i think so and so on the new no photo boards of creation with a clear message to north korea says that the Indian Economy to focus and he spotted by a south korean noodle as some sort of like high for a nice tradition. At the same time i was in the south korean was very cautious in responding to a kill from the total contents of provocation. On sunday the sum total can go for a finger. All of the peace of the ministry of the camp was enacted upon it. After the was unified in place by north korea when the north korean descent at the same time. The scope was in turn was pretty cautious as to what like to officially in the cbo did that the soup was isnt ready for responding not just assuring that the sum total bliss Divisional Office addition to north korea bps. Well this incident comes right after north koreas threat of a new form of nuclear test was that exactly mean and how is this palace is already affected in the korean relations and four in my opinion not the people we can go bowling. Possibly thats in the Fourth Nuclear test by north korea. Was it with a few twice called upon to be to go before you protest but mostly with citizen kane least likely that north korea with you know that you call twenty four from the house was so bored tunnel would not welcome it. I would say china cubicle wall where the traitor by a ghostly is for you the reports no protests or come off into saturday with a test of the crazy about that means north korea would become a candle forty cable for a new crew with the state which attack on a job for you when you add that when you bomb in china we are all a typical feature of Nuclear Weapons state when its white neighbors. I am not excluded the possibility of force to protest but how about further provocations like missile test of some sort and if so a host of suffering government reacted in both disappears with the puny me that this one with c but this moment. I mean i just said these things in many communities who were taught that north korea to store his baby. I settled on the fiesta details of the snow. Ethan thought it was a bit too small to have the extension of time compared or penalty kind of funny in a hospice in use for the safety of the region. So at this moment of conversion is his noble one prideful policy is to sit tight and a domestic politics. And then after that probably the one that will provoke south korea would even say sweetly put into the top of the leopard spotted this allowed the thing is the right type of them but here too bold too far.
