:08:13. > :08:18.The IMF had been pessimistic about the prospects for the British
:08:19. > :08:22.economy if Brexit were to take place. Actually, it has not panned
:08:23. > :08:31.out like that so far. Ayew revising your folk -- forecast on the British

:08:57. > :09:01.But, as you said, let's watch. You don't think the IMF got it wrong in
:09:02. > :09:05.this case? We revise, as I just said.
:09:06. > :09:12.Moving on another developing the story, a new twist in the death of
:09:13. > :09:21.King John Mann, the half brother of the North Korean leader.
:09:22. > :09:24.-- A new twist in the death of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother
:09:25. > :09:28.The son of the dead man - and the last known male
:09:29. > :09:30.in the Kim bloodline, perhaps a potential future leader -
:09:31. > :09:32.has released a video statement from his hiding place.
:09:33. > :09:36.My name is Kim Han-sol, from North Korea, part of the Kim family. Here
:09:37. > :09:52.is my passport. My father has been killed in a few
:09:53. > :10:02.days ago. I am currently with my mother and sister and we are very
:10:03. > :10:04.grateful to... And we hope this gets better soon.
:10:05. > :10:07.There are a couple of things that are odd about this video.
:10:08. > :10:09.You'll have noticed the bit where Kim Han-sol's audio is cut
:10:10. > :10:13.The other thing is that the group that have released this -
:10:14. > :10:19.Cheollima Civil Defense - is an unknown quantity.
:10:20. > :10:21.If you look online, its YouTube account has only
:10:22. > :10:32.I am not quite sure what has happened there!
:10:33. > :10:35.I asked our Asia Pacific regional editor Celia Hatton what she makes
:10:36. > :10:51.For a few hours when it first surfaced, no one was really clear
:10:52. > :10:54.about the identity of the young man in the video. It looked like Kim
:10:55. > :11:00.Han-sol, but we have not seen him in public or quite a few years and it
:11:01. > :11:03.was not until South Korean intelligence officials confirmed his
:11:04. > :11:08.identity, said, yes, it was him, but they did not want to go further to
:11:09. > :11:12.talk about the video itself. Part of that reasoning, I think, is nobody
:11:13. > :11:18.really knows very much about the group that posted the video on
:11:19. > :11:24.YouTube, the Cheollima Civil Defense group... Which we have never heard
:11:25. > :11:28.of. No, they are not one of the UN officially recognised refugee groups
:11:29. > :11:32.known for bringing refugees from North Korea to South Korea, not
:11:33. > :11:37.associated with any foreign government or any NGO that we know.
:11:38. > :11:41.My personal theory is maybe Kim Han-sol himself is behind this
:11:42. > :11:48.group, because it has a bit of a whimsical name, he is a year-old
:11:49. > :11:55.young man. It is named after a mythical horselike creature known in
:11:56. > :12:00.Korean and Chinese culture for travelling far distances. He is very
:12:01. > :12:04.isolated and I guess he is also in danger? It is agreed that he is in a
:12:05. > :12:10.lot of danger. Even before his father was killed it was quite clear
:12:11. > :12:16.that that family was targeted. They are a family of immense interest
:12:17. > :12:18.because, really, if the current North Korean regime falls, if Kim
:12:19. > :12:28.Jong Un for whatever reason is taken out of power, this branch of the Kim
:12:29. > :12:33.family are the natural ones to sleep in. Kim Jong-nam before he was
:12:34. > :12:38.killed was the eldest son of Kim Jong Un, in Korean culture that
:12:39. > :12:42.place in the family holds a lot of power and respect, so the son of the
:12:43. > :12:50.eldest son will now be Kim Han-sol, he holds the power. To come back to
:12:51. > :12:58.the assassination of his father, the diplomatic fallout continues. What
:12:59. > :13:04.is the latest? That Malaysia, in one state of Malaysia, zero wax, after
:13:05. > :13:08.of the Malaysia and mainland, in Borneo, people there are rounding up
:13:09. > :13:12.North Korean workers with expired passports, more than 160 have been
:13:13. > :13:16.rounded up and detained by immigration officials in Malaysia,
:13:17. > :13:20.those officials say they are talking to the federal government in Kuala
:13:21. > :13:24.Lumpur to decide what to do. That leaves about 36 North Korean workers
:13:25. > :13:29.still on valid work permits inside Malaysia. They are really
:13:30. > :13:35.interesting, they are the workers who have long been seen to be doing
:13:36. > :13:40.the jobs that are too dangerous for Malaysians to do, jobs in mining and
:13:41. > :13:41.construction. Clearly the Malaysia authorities have changed their minds

:14:37. > :14:40.person who has not had rational acts, who is not thinking clearly. I
:14:41. > :14:44.can tell you the stance of the United States is that we are

:15:05. > :15:08.We got the same message here from the State Department, probably not
:15:09. > :15:11.in quite as blunt language, and I think that is the policy the
:15:12. > :15:17.Americans have heard for a while. They are open to dialogue with North
