for watching. the north koreans facing another famine 10000000 are hungry because of the worst drought in 4 decades could the suffering force the north to abandon its been a mistake missile development at least on the rise a she told the donald trump this is inside story. and welcome to the program i'm nick clegg an estimated 2000000 north koreans died

during the famine in the 1990 s. aid workers a calling for international help to prevent history repeating itself or us even north korean state media are sounding the alarm the official news agency is reporting the worst drought in 37 years and it blames economic sanctions for making matters worse north koreans are being to fight what's called a war against nature to find new water sources and protect the crops the united nations has just reported the lowest harvest in a decade and has warned that millions are going hungry south korea is sending cash to help. so a little country minute here. our government has decided to provide $8000000.00 to international organizations projects to support north korea including the world food program and unicef based on our stance that we continue to humanitarian aid for north korean people. political situations well before we move on to our discussion let's take a quick look at the situation in north korea the capital pyongyang should have

received an average of 170 millimeters of rain by may state media say the entire country has recorded only 54 millimeters so far that's the lowest since 982 this year's harvest is expected to suffer the world food programme estimates that at least 40 percent of the 25000000 population suffer food shortages united nations says people are receiving just 300 grams of food rations a day that's home of the government's target the last famine in the 990 s. is thought to have killed up to 2000000 people north korea's government never released an official title. or let's bring in our guest now from augusta in georgia in the united states by skype is han park a founding director of the center for the study of global issues from beijing we have guitar ball who's advocacy manager for the country cluster support team that's of the international federation of the red cross and red crescent societies and by

skype from exeter in the united kingdom is aden foster carter and honorary senior research fellow in sociology and modern career at leeds university thank you all for joining us guitar ball if i could start with you from the red cross you have people on the ground there give us an idea of the scale of the problem in north korea right now well it's not just one 5th year it's one year after the worst year in a decade i mean it really looks really really bad we have people there have been 3 provinces sent into. communities. all i can say now is that it's not getting better they made an assessment and the report will be out next week so unfortunately i can't i can't come in and that yet but it is really bad we see mountain nutrition we see under nutrition that is chronic and we also might see now the effect that there is no water there is no safe water for for drinking or for cooking so so what

we might be seeing now is also new cases of diarrhea and and decease like that and i understand it's really bad it's round about 40 percent of the population gets her in and out of that 40 percent as usual in these situations it's the elderly and the very young who are most at risk yeah it's the children it's the children i mean 20 percent of the of all children under 5 are stunted they are they don't get any near the nutrition they need it's a pregnant women it's women who are pressed feeding their children and it's the elderly so once again those are the most who suffers or those are suffer the most raw is the picture across the whole country or as a specific part of north korea or well that difference it difference but of course there are some provinces that are in worse shape than others. i don't have the full picture of that but what i can say there are differences but but still even though

you're not living in one of those provinces maybe you're used to getting some food from some relatives who live there so so it's a very large deal of the population that can feel this and finally at this stage get to that i know you can't talk specifically about the reports coming out but if things do keep going in this direction do you think we could see a repeat of the terrible terrible events of the 99100 well i think it is it is all right yeah yeah yeah well i think it is already terrible it's hard to measure terrible but up but i mean it's not just bad getting worse now it is it is really worse. bordering on alarming i would say that ok well that's the situation is it thanks very much for let's bring in john park a obviously you've been to north korea many times of 50 or so times we talked about this event back in the ninety's do you think we're heading in the same direction now to that day that north korea has a serious problem. is to relish stablished we don't have to go over that your

question is what can we do. the world around the insula is traditionally do 90 states and china are very crude and rich countries and south korea may also be included here as a potential donors or helpers in disregard for north korea and its solid korea is prepared to do that already for the $8000000.00 but to south korea can send rice and their. humanitarian assistance to red cross the border and china can do or likewise so i think it is showing off his shafilea soon not include the. sanction in divin lucy equation because political sanction india aereo through again

humanitarian necessity mount to weapons. against the country to very very serious weapon ok to me to think you think that a sanctions a weapon izing the issue of food will come on to the geopolitics more just a moment but enforce a kind of i could bring you in from a store in the u.k. . they say the climate change is to blame for this lack of snow during the winter leaving crops exposed to freezing temperatures as well as prolonged dry spells due to rainfall that's less than than predictable and less predictable to what degree 1st will before going to a port is to what degree can north korea prepare for such events as this and deal with them without outside help. the north korean government could do a great deal more than it does it could do here's an example we know from the united nations panel of experts set up to monitor sanctions and their impact in the ways in his career voyage them that out of them experts claims that in recent years

north korea earned more than half a $1000000000.00 from saima for all essentially various i think clean cryptocurrency is raging back and so on well obviously they shouldn't have done that but that means they have a cash aisle they choose to spend their money differently most countries normal countries don't you get any degree of calf of their citizens or responsibility to their citizens would it be importing food that if they're not imports from food on any scale if they're not cheap the singer imports as far as we know that's a political choice economics one i wonder where says to give an example of the choices all governments face gums versus bottom it's very literally true in the north korea case so that i have here to see in him temp sympathy for the very long suffering north korean people this government could do what other governments do even before we get on to things that are obviously it's not going to do like to terrorize and generally change spending and they could do a lot more they could also change the way the economic system is organized if i can

briefly mention that sensible communist regimes like china and vietnam long ago 30 years ago a mole gave more responsibility to enterprises to farms to break up collective farms north korea has been tinkering with a bit of that and that because they've got a very difficult situation the soil is exhausted it's a lot of that sort of thing to go into ever got much to work with out of that money margins at the best of times but they really you know that they're not doing these things that the regime has brought a culture they put it upon themselves does that sound callous but the regime has focused upon the people in 14 of the people are going to suffer but not the regime said no i'm not front to what degree bend the sanctions have an impact on the north and north korea as a country be able to deal with a situation like this. they do and there's no doubt about that i mean the what is happening there's now was a 10 year history of sanctions and then the beginning at north korea's 1st nuclear test 2006 well that time ago ascensions were confined to its arms trade but in the last 2 or 3 years they got tighter and tighter since the north koreans took not

a blind bit of notice to any of these i may say unanimous united nations security council sanctions voted for by russia and china as well as other members so they tightened up shit basically a lot of north korea's main exports are now banned and it's hard for them to import for things like you know oil at the margins and saying it's through to such of course is not affected but things that help the agriculture. from n.g.o.s on the ground and i'm sure your red cross person with their more you know from from the feel of the night to you there's no way that this can go that this cannot start this too many going to get to it doubt sanctions certainly don't help so that's a huge pileup of all the sickest people and get there from your point of view what are you seeing on the ground in terms of sanctions and the kind of impact that they have been restricting that the nation's ability to carry on. well that's difficult for me to say and as you know red cross we're not about politics we we don't take sides we do the humanitarian work on the ground that is possible for us to do and

we cooperate in doing that we cooperate with the national red cross society and they are all in all the affected areas and so what we do is well to provide civil order pumps needed to to make sure that we can do things on the ground that will that would help here and now and of course will also do things to improve the bend or to prepare this for happening by building greenhouses send but you know it's a different scale than than the carefulness call told i know that but but i have not a comment on that or ok well i'll take that on with kind of as i can but you know you mention this issue of very question equipment and water pumps and to combat the problem the state run. newspaper has called for war what they describe as a war is being translated as a war against nature mobilizing all available water pumps in their occasion equipment to what degree we come back to this question of how how capable north korea is is capable of dealing with a situation like this to what degree does north korea have this kind of equipment

to hand and how much are outside help does it need. ha i don't i don't know the scale of that but i know that that in 18 it actually helped that we were able to when they were able to provide some some water pump pump for the affected areas right now people are carrying water in water buckets are in the afternoons and at night and of course having water pumps having fuel for those water pumps having tends to cover them from the heat all these it sounds like small things but that this is actually what will help the crops to grow and the people to move to get feed to get fit but it doesn't solve the whole crisis of course it doesn't but but it it we've come a good way so if you just one more thing can you tell us about the issue of food rationing in north korea understand that most citizens something like 70 percent live off with it 500 grams of food a day and even that is going to have to now be be cut to 300 grams a day and that's very that's very very little if you think of what the rest of us

are consuming i mean it's it's barely it will bear that barely keep that keep the people alive i mean it is really bad and you can see the malnutrition on the ground you can see the how this effects we just like i said have our people been visiting different communities and it is clear to see there that that there isn't enough there is a lack there's a lot of everything and. they're not used to much they're used to so these ration so in the last years that there are are getting smaller but this year if something's it's not happening it's it's really worth getting worse ok and has talked a little while ago about it so it's a wake. so you talk about this issue of. weaponize ing food if you like what do you say to those who say that north korea want to make it sound like sanctions equal starvation so you know the united states really should be benevolent towards them

unfortunately in all countries in the world that would give even their security interests food aid or economic development we're expecting north korea to do that then will not and north korea would like to maintain it to socially is just it's a collective kind of system in continuous city deaths were to russia and china no one is wet saw that if we expect north korea to change to political system characteristics all together to you know or to get now i.m.f. or world bank assistance i think we should look at somewhere else north korea is not going to give meaning to these kind of international pressure to move rather as a result of 979990 is doing rather have not of

starvations its its own derives shock 1000000 metter of world of public opinion and weaponized thing through or their works in north korea but it works only in that sense a lot of people will suffer rather than changing their military or political posture us so it's difficult to cheat to asia now their world would have to adjust to that situation i don't foster kind of what do you think about that and if it's this concept that that the north korean government may be kind of playing on the issue of food supplies in north korea or using it i should say. to aid its political positions and in negotiations with the united states. oh i'm sure they using it i mean the north korean government is a very skilled operator it's a very cynical and i think it's a contemptibly immoral operator and if if i understood dr park correctly he seems

to suggest that we should all just put up with that we're over a barrel of course and what hasn't been mentioned yet i mean even kindly south korea offering a modest 8000000 i would like to know what dr think so the fact that north korea has more or less spat back in their faces and criticize them for daring to offer this it's you know it's incredibly for anybody who believes in a a peaceful and better world international order sure any country wants it security thankfully most countries in the small countries in the world do not think that security consists of getting a nuclear weapons getting intercontinental ballistic missile strengthening the world i mean it's i call it militant mendicants in north korea is a market and a beggar at the same time and it's infuriating but of course we don't want the people to suffer the north korean government they care about its people one bit weak and that's that's the intent style or not but let there be no doubt about the net it is not reasonable for the north korean government to behave as it does in

any way. north korea maga and a beggar at the same time what do you say to. oh yeah i think empirically that may ever vary some truthfulness but in reality north korea has its own dollars ready and. north korea are never akiba completely their nuclear capability and they're not going to give up their socialist system collective ownership and united of kempton is manaul back if we expect north korea to do those things he needs change will food aid and humanitarian aid we are wrong it will not work it has never worked for decades and what do you think i'm paca about the fact that this is being talked about now partly because the north koreans themselves have asked for help and being very bold in asking for help and very public about it yeah but we received but it did kind of pressure that united states

through john bolton's idea it is not going to work but you know the livia model. john north korea room not just a one to economic prosperity it wants socially it's a north korea kind of it can i mean crisp parity but we'll really see but with china really help in debt regard it was probably going to come in the. well they have a service that one could say i mean it's an incredibly difficult situation. that must be a way i mean you can how it's coming to what what what can i pick up on as i said before sensible communist regimes as in china and vietnam you know you can have you can keep political control i mean whether or not one locks that system a different talking about i think is that we shouldn't say north korea when we mean the kim family regime to keep who have got the rest of the country in their grip

threats that are that we're talking about in other socialist countries they've dad to try it you know that and they've got very china has become a great china was very impoverished under mao and much nastier it is now china is now well how about doing sensible things economically you can do sensible things economically and a communist party can keep up kim jong un is a bit more daring than his father kim jong il but unfortunately not very much there is so much more they could do and should do the job of this they you know they're very stubborn and we don't really have the leverage to rebel we've been talking about this a $1000000.00 that the south is going to mobilize to supply the north korean administration to provide food and medicines and so forth. to what degree will that even touch the sides of what's required there how much more is needed oh i don't want to put a number on this because i think all the help they can get will do some with reach some people and will do some good but of course. everybody can can it when you talk about more than 10 tilia 1000000 people not getting the the food they need 40

percent of the population when you talk about chronic under and malnutrition you know that that it takes a lot to reach all these people but i mean all the help they can get and one part wasn't i mean julian is doing in the south and sending this money no it doesn't actually have that much necessary that much support in south korea there are those who say that the north has gone to resources as we've been scouting here on its nuclear arms program that should have used to help his people let me quote one a spokeswoman for the conservative career liberty party who said this is a time to stop aid if there is any gain to the north not to provide it she accuses mr moon of irresponsible appeasement if what is happening in north korea really ventured more likely sooner than later we look at that south korean says where they're thinking about some sort of. reunification a peaceful coexistence if north koreans are starving and children are not growing

not given you know through nutrition then people with the horror north and south korea combined with the impact will be jack so south korea is concerned it very seriously about north korean economic situation fool situation and then willing to help north korea his current regime but declaring american. it's so important that the united states show the world that north koreans have the right to life not just the freedom but to life so we are we deny action north korean children's lives. or because of a nuclear situation so we should not have connived full well that prefer. and foster carter as the united states look on at the situation they would have been very well aware of the impending crisis affecting millions of people in north korea

as they continue their negotiations or go back and forth with. the administration in north korea how much of a factor do you think this crisis is in how they play that hand. sad to say i mean aside i was i would assess it not very much a toll i mean you know what king out what matters to donald trump apart from bill trump himself is really quite difficult the trouble is and i think we have to say a little bit about the broader context and again tabulations barry but and part and i might agree on this and the red cross has no prospects as we don't have a compass blending it i mean i had hoped you know i was very hopeful about the peace the various peace processes summits that he had lost 2800 seemed to be history already unfortunately i thought we were going to get from the longest a 2nd straight night into a virtuous month where south korea the strident which doesn't help the north could go ahead starting with things like joint ventures with reconnecting the rebuilding
