BBC World Service - The Real Story, Understanding North Korea

We take a look inside North Korea - the world's most secretive state

This week we take a look inside North Korea - the world's most secretive state.

What does North Korea’s leader want? And, what do we really know about who runs the country? As the international community ramps up sanctions in response to Pyongyang’s latest nuclear test, will anything change? Join Owen Bennett Jones and his panel of experts – including a young North Korean defector – as they take an in-depth look at one of the world’s most secretive political systems.
