Particularly when the subject of our investigation is the son of the president and someone very close to him. Hello. Accidents happen in government. People slip on banana skins. There are momentary lapses, or arguments that spill into the public domain. Events can catch cabinets by surprise. Thats normal. At a rate of one every few months. But then theres this government. Since the election knocked the confidence out of the Prime Ministerfive months ago, to many it has just lurched from one self inflicted wound to another. Public arguments over brexit are half of it, the harassment cases have piled on the pressure. But the coincidence of extra missteps has given this government a whiff of decay. And youre not meant to have that until youve been in power for a decade or more. Two particular things are exercising many mps right now. The foreign secretary giving the unhelpful impression th

He contrasted south koreas progress and Strong Economy with the hunger filled prison state that he said existed in the north. He again called on pyongyang to give up its nuclear and missile programme, which he said is putting north korea in mortal danger. Lets listen to part of that speech.
