I don’t like this reporter at all. Comes across as a total B. Her reactions were very weird. I’m into following politics and certain interests but don’t always know everything going on until it is happening. As someone who works in government and has a lot of military family as well, not everything is even announced because of safety concerns. So maybe he knew Kim Jong Un was visiting or maybe he didn’t. Why does Spain let North Korea have an “embassy” in their country. Yikes. Like they said they are not country, they are a terrorist state. I don’t have confidence in countries that allow for things like that.
This woman is insanely irresponsible to interview this person like this. If he is a target for assassination then it's now 10x easier to find him and even his contacts. What a reckless form of journalism.
Disagree, the most important thing for Chris Ahn's safety is that he is not extradited. The more people know about his case, the better. That's probably why the group FreeChrisHahn said: We at FreeChrisAhn want to thank CBS, 60 Minutes, Sharyn Alfonsi, Draggan Mihailovich, and Jacqueline Williams for their tireless investigating and reporting. Hopefully their reporting will bring more attention to Christopher's plight and gain more supporters to help communicate to our politicians that this extradition must not happen.
I wondered the same thing. She also shows no emotion or caring at all. It is a strange interview. I hope he can be protected, he was being a hero endeavoring to help others.
Well, he has the power to not answer questions or do this interview in the first place. Don't think he was held at gunpoint to do this as far as we know.
What a story. He’s helped loads of people to freedom and is a hero, and the United States is about to send him to his own execution. I hope we can step up and see how stupid this all is.
very poorly thought out about the repercussions & lack of planning. Why do they not have any video recording of their entry and time inside, on a bodycam or gopro to show it was not a real kidnapping and the staff were in on it. Also, their original phone calls or emails or texts with the embassy staff coordinating this fake kidnapping months prior. Encrypted or not, each side has copies. they should have kept that as a backup to prove that this was in coordination with embassy staff and not a real kidnapping. they also should have at least wore some disguises or masks as they approach the embassy with cameras. That's the only way they were identified by Spain. And No, he certainly should not be extradited to Spain.
The comments are showing that CBS is still doing good journalism. Journalism is intended to be adversarial. We don't really know anything about this guy or his motivations, funding, possible ties to intelligence etc, and it's her role to ask questions that are tough to get real answers. And she does that very well, for each person she interviews.

The real question that needs to answered is why Spain would care about an attempt to help North Koreans defect to the point that they pursue extradition of someone who they would have no other good reason to pursue. This smells like Chinese back room influence in favor of North Korea being couched as a justice. Spain supporting North Korea in this way should be embarrassing. Why isn’t it?
Think of it from spains point - they failed their article 27 obligation (security), they issued all legal papers for this man. They liaised with US. They have a treaty. It’s a bloody nightmare of a case; bureaucracy and legalisms but it has to be done for face saving. I would hope State dept would help him urgently. His cover was badly done as he has little/no protection.

60 mimutes interviewer is an "air head" ! So many questions NOT asked : Why not take the staff and leave right after the Spanish police left ? ! 60 minutes has become a journalistic disgrace !
Since North Korea is not a member of Interpol, I would ask the following, what is the structure of the diplomatic agreement between Spain and North Korea? Does Spain have an embassy in North Korea and what countries have an embassy in North Korea? Per Spanish law and constitution, the allowance of criminal complaint from the North Korean Embassy to Spanish Authorities, since the incident technically occurred on North Korean sovereign jurisdiction, does Spanish law apply in this case as I would believe the Spanish jurisdiction ends at the doors of the North Korean Embassy. Here is another question I would ask, since in the statement from Christopher Ang, he was working under the official request from the Ambassador of North Korea to render aid and assistance for the defection of all personnel inside the North Korean embassy, the key element I put forth, why hasn´t the North Korean ambassador been recalled back to North Korea along with all staff involved in this defection. As proven in another case, where the Saudis assisinated the journilist Jamal Khashoggi within their embassy and later disposed of the remains as reported in the Belgrad forests in which realisticly most likely violated several national jurisdictions which I would believe falls under the jurisdiction of Interpol's international agreements between member states. Why hasn't the North Korean Ambassador and all staff been assassinated yet either within the walls of the North Korean Embassy or after recall back to North Korea? Since no action has been taken by North Korea, I would submit that maybe there is a disinformation program in play here for some other reason to enable Kim to assisinate Chris Ang due to some other vendetta that Kim has against Christopher. In this case, I would ask, jurisdictionally, what is Spains legal authority in this case?

If it's all fake and they wanted to go, their story should be fairly easy to corroborate. Hand over the notes, files, contact logs, etc, showing communications with their contact in the embassy staging this. I'm leaning towards believing the "kidnappers" because who would just stroll into an embassy univited, demanding the diplomatic staff defect? It would be a huge assumption that they'd even want to go! Also, there's a huge incentive for the diplomatic staff to lie on this one.

I'd be happy to be wrong here, but there has to be some information they're withholding here cause from what they're saying there was no security, the house was almost empty, so why wasn't this a lightning quick operation? Hell, even after the police had left and they saw that the coast was clear, they could've immediately left. If it was indeed an exfiltration operation those people were extremely amateurish and there's no way they spent anything more than 30 minutes planning this. Also I have to say that after he admitted that he knew about the Trump-KJU meeting, my suspicions about the veracity of this guy's story grew even more cause from the beginning I thought his body language looked off, the reasons and answers he was giving just seemed too shallow.
Gah this operation was goofy lol! Took them UNTIL Spanish police came that they realized someone was unaccounted for?! Theres only 10 people there lmfao! Clearly the wife wasn't in the loop lol. I would've taken a leaf from Carlos Ghosn's playbook. 1. Have it happen on a birthday of Kim Il Sung when the rest of NK is doing something else. 2. Have Cheollima come in dressed as a band. 3. Have them play the propaganda music and have a party thrown. 4. Ditch the instruments and have the skinny north koreans pack into the cases. Head out.

The end of this video is very wrong. Kim Han Sol lives in Bosnia now
Wow, not sure I'd report quite so much info.... who did it and how it happened....
Why do Biden & Blunkin not care about their citizens?
1:32 JESUS, LADY TAKE A HINT. He's said he always try to lean on caution.
Very James Bond-ish!
Poor guy is living on a very short timer. RIP.
I'm just glad I'm Vietnamese and don't have to worry about Fat Choi or the CCP.
If you have a problem, If no one else can help and if you can find him, Maybe you can hire, The Ahn-Team.
Chris straight up lies about not knowing that Trump and Kim were meeting, and then says maybe I did after she calls him out on it lol.
The world can thank China for such a regime as North Korea.
I would like to be that brave.
The world so scare but we have to struggle.
She new you but wasn't 100% how things have changed I know they don't like their job because of it
Why are you going on 60 Minutes? Do you want Kim Jon Un to find you?!
If it's all fake and they wanted to go, their story should be fairly easy to corroborate. Hand over the notes, files, contact logs, etc, showing communications with their contact in the embassy staging this. I'm leaning towards believing the "kidnappers" because who would just stroll into an embassy univited, demanding the diplomatic staff defect? It would be a huge assumption that they'd even want to go! Also, there's a huge incentive for the diplomatic staff to lie on this one.
한국에도 없는 영웅이시네요 미국가면 뵙고 싶네요
He's a walking dead. He should have given the CIA a heads-up about the plot (fake kidnapping) before flown to Spain
I mean would they let him?
@@anellawrites I think they would off. We're talking about possible NK defectors here. CIA does crazy stuff everyday. He just wants to be a hero. Now he's a villan 😔
Because the CIA can't be officially involved. They'll do cleanup duty, but nothing officially ahead of time.
@@chagni21 LOL, yeah just ask the Kennedy's!
Does anyone know if this is an older show or is a current one?
It seems like news agencies are not labeling shows, titles, etc properly.
I regularly begin several minutes of watching a YT video that said it was posted 3 days ago and find out half way throughout that it was Originally aired 7 years ago.
Many times the news story or video never mentions the date, city or state.
I have wasted time with reading or watching a story about what I thought was the city where I lived, but it was a different state.
I think most journalists and YT pundits are Dunning Krugers with a false sense of eminence while we all live in a Peter Townsend "Eminence Front"!
Its A Put On!
Why y'all narcing on these people and putting their lives at risk??
Fr 😂😂 at least block his face and disguise his voice, they do that in vids with other ppl they know should be hidden from the public.
DODGERS homie
His fault, what did he expect.
She asking the wrong questions lolshe feds
Why don’t the American government don’t do something about North Korea these people are basically kept hostage and told what to do in our own country not ok
Why does the United States stop exploration of immigrants labour in Saudia Arabia and the United Arab Emirates? I'll tell you why the United States does not care about those things unless they do not like the country doing it.
Bc isolating a brainwashed country is safer. Been there before, it’s an interesting place.
Because N. Korea has nukes.
They are estimated to have about 50 nukes, but have also stockpiled a significant quantity of chemical and biological weapons. And then there is their 1.5 million strong military. What exactly do you suggest the US "do" about them?
@@alexs1429 - that’s probably the most minor reason of it. The issue is actually human rights violations. They know they won’t be able to fix the problem. Too much brainwashing.
The obvious compromise is to plead guilty of charges and serve time in a minimum US security prison or home arrest.
Biden or SecState should step in and help this American marine. It’s a no-brainer. WTF.
This story is so interesting and intriguing.
The interviewer did a very poor job...
"America, F*ck Yeah! Comin' Again to Save the M*ther F*ckin' day, Yeah!"
Being the royal family is in Spain shouldn't Spain rethink its ties with North Korea? Is North Korea Sayings it's not been part of trade routes?. Saving face should include treatment of people
You cleary don't understand how geopolitics work or politics in general. Why does Spain still have relations with Saudi Arabia after what they did to the critic of the Prince in Turkey?
You sound like a North Korean operative
@@shadowslayer9988So why do they ?...explain your thought process
@@shadowslayer9988Spain doesn’t have ties to Saudi, it’s UAE…and because our previous king currently resides in Abu Dhabi. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
This interview was not a smart move… smh
How many N Korean agents, disguised as diplomats are scurrying across the U.S. borders?
Dude - we've been doing this type of work since the Cold War. In way larger numbers.
Sleeper agents to be activated in the near future? probably quite a few, but they're disguised as Chinese economic refugees seeking "a better life" - and that's why the bipartisan bill in Congress should've been passed so we can vet these people more closely.
Exactly! They’ve been able to hack and get billions of dollars. They’re stealing identities of Americans and Europeans to work for tech companies then plant malware to hack the company and send money back to NK.
Most are Chinese crossing the U.S. border.
None
60'min said he from la lol
Terrible, interviewer. Her questions, lack of empathy, really, irritated me
A Korean Mexican? No such thing! Impossible!
Come to California 😅
So a Seoul Hombre?
Why does Spain have a diplomatic relationship with NK? Idk anything about the Spanish monarchy. They’re still a traditional monarchy right?
Hola 😁 Colombiana living in Madrid here. Spain is a parlamentary monarchy. I imagine it has diplomatic relations with NoKo as default. If there's no confrontation or enmity between them why not?
@@IRosamelia hola! Yo soy un Dominicano viviendo en los Estados Unidos! Thank you for that clarification. The education here in the US isn’t great… It would have me believe that NK has no diplomatic ties with anyone other than enemy powers like China and Russia. I assumed an EU power would limit relations with such a strict dictatorship. I didn’t even know Spain was a monarchy until I watched La Casa De Papel. The more you know!
@@CorcovadoMusic Hola, EEUU por su posición militarista en el siglo XX se ha creado una serie de enemistades pero de verdad que la mayoría de países no les importa mucho la situación interna de otros países con tal que fluya el comercio. Poderoso caballero es el señor dinero, saludos a Juan Luis 🤗
Human trafficking, they were making money. Dont be so naive
What a Savage.
My Hero ! 💙
No different when the Russians decided to build a wall to create East Germany in the early '60s
A lot of people defected this way or got shot trying to get over wire fencing and ultimately the brick wall
The savages here were the Russian government and Kim Jon Ung today as his father before him
Thank God for Gorbachev's insight and Reagan's persistence.
Never thought I see day as I lived in West Berlin
That wall was an oppressive sight to say the least
Straight up
I think this guys heart is in the right place, but do you want private American citizens running around the world trying to "to good" if those efforts include breaking host countries and international law?
This story is more important than people lives.
you make no sense
@@deathlarsen7502 not to u.
It’s an essential story
@@davinxi5926 ...
U wouldn't be saying that when your life is on the line
@@davinxi5926 hardly. it's completely irrelevant
What's crazy is the history of how we got here with North Korea. Bad decision making that goes back.
Yeah well North Korea is bosstings it's ties with Russia, Iran, and China we can only wait and see what happens in the future from such developments.
He's a terrible actor...way too over dramatic.
Sad story and Kim should be gone !
Ahn for Congress.
Free him
I'd be happy to be wrong here, but there has to be some information they're withholding here cause from what they're saying there was no security, the house was almost empty, so why wasn't this a lightning quick operation? Hell, even after the police had left and they saw that the coast was clear, they could've immediately left. If it was indeed an exfiltration operation those people were extremely amateurish and there's no way they spent anything more than 30 minutes planning this. Also I have to say that after he admitted that he knew about the Trump-KJU meeting, my suspicions about the veracity of this guy's story grew even more cause from the beginning I thought his body language looked off, the reasons and answers he was giving just seemed too shallow.
My comment will continue in a moment. Tick-tock, Tick-tock, Tick-tock Tick-tock.
Horrible interviewer
Koren Mexican u don’t hear that often.
Right? 😂
Many Korean people live in Mexico.
For all people involved freedom from fear bless them Jesus its a dark system. Political freedom Jesus because you are the god of freedom
Someone should expose the journalist personal information to the world. Since she doesn’t mind exposing the man being interviewed where he reside
Tiktok brought me here 😳
Gah this operation was goofy lol! Took them UNTIL Spanish police came that they realized someone was unaccounted for?! Theres only 10 people there lmfao! Clearly the wife wasn't in the loop lol. I would've taken a leaf from Carlos Ghosn's playbook. 1. Have it happen on a birthday of Kim Il Sung when the rest of NK is doing something else. 2. Have Cheollima come in dressed as a band. 3. Have them play the propaganda music and have a party thrown. 4. Ditch the instruments and have the skinny north koreans pack into the cases. Head out.
