Tensions rise as North Korea prepares for satellite launch

American and South Korean forces have begun their annual joint military exercises in South Korea, and the North Korean authorities are making their feelings clear by saying it’s a dangerous provocation. Tensions are rising in Seoul and Pyongyang, that have been building since North Korea started to prepare to launch a satellite. Some countries say they’re concerned that the launch will be a long-range missile test.

John Sudworth, BBC correspondent in South Korea, joins The Takeaway to talk about the atmosphere during the wake of the launch.
