CNN News:韓國處之泰然應(yīng)對朝鮮威脅
Hi, everybody. Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.
It's April 1 and Carl is off today.
No fooling.
I'm Natisha Lance.
We're going to start things off with a country that's been in the news a lot recently - North Korea.
The North says it's in the state of war with South Korea and there's no actual fighting going on.
North Korea is also threatening to attack the United States.
The U.S. says it takes the threat seriously, but American and South Korean officials say, this kind of thing isn't new for North Korea.
This weekend, the atmosphere on the Korean Peninsula was very different, depending on where you live.
The dogs of war howled from North Koreans television screen Saturday as martial music and mass rallies were the only choice if you were lucky enough to own a TV.
A few times the broadcast switched street site, to sample what was on the minds of Pyongyang's patriots.
"We can't take it anymore", said this man,
"We cannot step back.
It's now time to show the jerks a real taste.
I'm holding my two fists hard.
"Kim Jong-un says if the war breaks out, we should mercilessly crush our enemies," this woman said,
crush them so they wouldn't even be able to sign the surrender papers.
In fierce tones, TV anchors repeated warnings that country's forces were on the highest alert.
The video onslaught takes viewers around the globe, smashing America with its fist.
This is a country where everyone yearns to be armed and dangerous.
Meantime, here in the South Korean capital, it is a completely different scene.
People can see their past, their history.
They are looking to a brighter future, one that does not include war.
I don't think there will be a war.
Currently, North Korea just raised up their military alertness.
South Korean people are not even interested.
If they wanted to attack, they would have attacked already.
North Korea is just threatening.
The colorful changing of the guard ceremony at the gates of Seoul's Daksegun Palace drew a chair of tourists as well.
Undaunted by the dire media forecast.
On one peninsula this Sunday, two entirely, different views of what lies ahead.
Across the North, images of a nation on the desperate brink of war,
in the South, people preparing to go to work Monday morning.
