 Carl Asuz. We are starting today on the Korean peninsula. Even though an armistice¹ ended fighting in the Korean war in 1953, North and South Korea are still divided and they are still rival. The North is a Communist dictatorship, the South is a republic and an ally of the US. That's why the world was concerned when things got heated once again earlier this month. Landmine², badly wounded two South Korean soldiers who are patroling the demilitarized zone between the two countries. North Korea denied laying them, but South Korea responded by making propaganda broadcaster across the border. That infuried the North. Troops were mobilized, talk of war within the year. But things settled down yesterday when the two sides reached an agreement. North Korea said it regreted that South Korea soldiers were injured by landmines³, and South Korea planned to stop the propaganda broadcast. The DMZ is 160 miles long and it cuts through the Korean peninsula. And despite being called demilitarized zone, it is one of the heaviest guard military areas in the world. About a million at duty troops of the North, about 600,000 to the South and bigger reserved as well, all on a footing for war really for the past 6 years in case it might be an invasion from the other side. Now we seen some new screw missions, and the latest point of contension is this, The high tech speakers that the South has used to broadcast messages into the North. How does this make such a difference? Well, just consider the power of the speaker than the nature of the messages. This speaker, one unit for example, send the message along the South here, would have the capability⁴ of reaching by day about 6 miles into the North, by night about 12 miles and the sound carried a little bit better. The messages that been sent recently have been very sharply critical of the Northern leadership sometimes they use the defectors to the South to call out to their formal country men. And the North feel a little bit power of know anything about this until little to quarrel because even though they have their own spearkers, theirs only carried out a mile, and in some cases that would not get them across the DNZ itself.
