North Korea sets missiles, skips Olympics

Update: 2021-04-10

Description

After a relatively quiet year under quarantine, North Korea has lashed out with new missile tests. We discuss the North's predictable provocation to greet the Biden administration and its recent decision to skip the Tokyo Olympics, closing off a possible avenue for renewed diplomacy. And we examine the growing nepotism of the ruling elite in Laos, where two top families have just bagged seven Cabinet seats. With RFA journalists Mat Pennington, Paul Eckert, Soyoung Kim and Ounkeo Souksavanh.
