How North Korea Manages to Evade Sanctions

BBC World Service - Weekend, How North Korea Manages to Evade Sanctions

The chief of the UN panel on North Korea describes how the regime evades sanctions.

A new UN report details how the regime of Kim Jong-un manages to earn hundreds of millions of dollars from banned exports despite the international sanctions against them.

Also, as relations between the two countries continue to strain we gauge the mood of Russian exiles in the UK. We also hear all about a Lithuanian tradition - The Day Of The Book Smugglers - an annual celebration of a secret network which smuggled banned books into the country when it was controlled by Russia.
