Propaganda across Intra-Korean Border
Since the sinking of the South Korean navy corvette Cheonan, both sides have intensified propaganda operations across the border in attempts to reach citizens across the border, broadcasting through loud speakers and radio. Activists in South Korea have been floating helium balloons with leaflets, in an effort to deliver messages to citizens in North Korean (BBC, 2010), where the government threatening to close up its border (Branigan, 2010).

The Secret Life of the Berlin Wall: BBC
“It was understood that the wall was better than a war.”
The Secret Life of the Berlin Wall shows the divided city and its two sides, heroes and villains, and “a world of good intentions heading in bad directions. A world where nothing is what it seems to be”. It claims;
“the wall was the victor. It got bigger, more sophisticated, more efficient. The wall was here to stay, and so were the people behind the wall.”
The program shows people who lived under two opposing systems, and their opinions: “Sure there were 30 types of cheese in the West and only three here. And only one tasted good. So what – what is more important?”

Where is the Wall Now?
BBC has collected photographs and video footages of the Wall in various parts of the world: some were chipped away by tourists and some larger chunks were donated to organisations [BBC, 2009]. Most of these postings are in Europe and North America, and can be viewed on the interactive world map.
Honolulu Community College is one of three sites in America to own a section of the Wall [HCC, 2009], and a section from Checkpoint Charlie was taken and was placed at the HQ of the CIA (2009).

The Rise and the Fall
This BBC news footage was first broadcast on 16th August 1961, only 3 days after the construction of the Wall began. The reporter claims that the border guards allowed some people to cross the border at this time [BBC, 2009]. The clip below is a news report from Berlin aired on 10th November 1989, a day after the Berlin Wall was opened to the people to cross freely.

Core within
"The latest research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), found that a wave precisely targeted through the inner core behaved differently depending on which part of the core it travelled through." (BBC, 2002)
