Tense Exchange After Bush-Roh Meeting
CLANCY: Hello, everyone, and welcome back to CNN International and</s>YOUR WORLD TODAY. VASSILEVA: We're seen live around the world. Thanks for looking in today. Well, let's bring you up to date now on diplomatic dealings out of the APEC summit going on right now in Australia. It concerns North Korea, which has invited an international team of inspectors to visit next week. The trip could pave the way for Pyongyang to dismantle its entire nuclear program by the end of the year.</s>CHRISTOPHER HILL, U.S. ASSISTANT SEC. OF STATE: The purpose is to do a survey of the site that need to be disabled pursuant to the -- to our agreement. And so, they will visit Yongbyon in particular, because Yongbyon, as we already know, even without a declaration, we know that Yongbyon has three of the main sites.</s>CLANCY: But the reality is, even as tensions seem to be subsiding with the north, they seem to be rising a bit among the allies. U.S. President Bush and South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun appeared to mix it up in front of the media during what is normally just a chance to make nice. Suzanne Malveaux is in Sydney.</s>SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice over): It was a rare, unscripted exchange. President Bush publicly challenged to explain his position on how to formally end the Korean War. It happened after private talks and pleasantries with South Korea's president Roh Moo-hyun.</s>ROH MOO-HYUN, SOUTH KOREA (through translator): I think I might be wrong. I think I did not hear President Bush mention a declaration to end the Korean War as of just now. Did you say so, President Bush?</s>MALVEAUX: Surprised, President Bush reaffirmed U.S./Korean policy. The U.S. will only initiate a formal declaration of peace between North and South Korea after North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-il no longer poses a threat.</s>GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I said to President Kim Jong-il as to whether not we're able to sign a peace treaty and end the Korean War. He's got to get rid of his weapons and verifiable (ph) sanctions.</s>MALVEAUX: But Roh, throwing his head back with laughter, was not satisfied.</s>ROH (through translator): I believe that they are the same thing, Mr. President. If you could be a little bit clearer in your message, I think</s>BUSH: I can't make it any more clearer, Mr. President. We look forward to the day when we can end the Korean War. That will end -- it will happen when Kim Jong-il verifiably gets rid of his weapons programs and his weapons.</s>MALVEAUX: South Korea plays a vital role as a member of the six- party talks aimed at convincing North Korea to disarm. The country is also eager to reunite with its northern neighbor. But with more than 37,000 U.S. troops, helping keep the peace along the North/South Korean border, the Bush administration is reluctant to make any changes while it still considers North Korea a threat. (on camera): White House officials say the exchange between President Bush and Roh was simply a case of lost in translation. That they are both in agreement of what's expected of North Korea's leader and that there is no tension between them. And obviously there's also the element of domestic politics in play for the South Korean leader.

An elderly woman lost for nearly two weeks in the mountains of the northwestern United States.</s>CLANCY: Now, her family was planning a memorial service already when the good news came.</s>VASSILEVA: That's right. Thelma Gutierrez brings us this incredible story of survival.</s>THELMA GUTIERREZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): In this vast, rugged Oregon wilderness, an amazing discovery. Seventy-six-year-old Doris Anderson, who had been missing for 13 days, found alive.</s>MELVIN ANDERSON, BROTHER-IN-LAW: You'll never believe this. They found her. And I figured they found her dead. No, they found her alive. She was in the bottom of a ravine, just off the road.</s>GUTIERREZ: Doris's husband Harold believes it's a miracle.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My wife I stated I'd never see again. That's why I have her pictures up close to me.</s>GUTIERREZ: Their ordeal began August 23rd when the couple went elk hunting. Their SUV got stuck in the creek in the mountains. They walked for several miles for help but decided to separate when Doris couldn't go on. She would return to the vehicle, where there was food and water, and Harold would seek help. He was picked up by hunters late in the afternoon, but when they returned to the vehicle, Doris was nowhere to be found. The family said Harold was inconsolable.</s>ANDERSON: He was devastated. He said life would never be the same.</s>GUTIERREZ: A massive search went on for days, but the family thought there was little hope. And just as they were planning her memorial service, two Baker County sheriffs deputies found Doris Anderson. She was flown to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Baker City, Oregon, where doctors are surprised as how well she's doing, considering she survived nearly two weeks in frigid temperatures, without food or water.</s>DR. STEVE DELASHMUTT, EMERGENCY ROOM PHYSICIAN: Yes, for that age, and being unprepared, and being out in the cold, she's done remarkably well.</s>GUTIERREZ: No one more surprised than Harold, who's been married to Doris for 55 years. (on camera): Are you going to go elk hunting again like this?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Never. Never. I'm going to spend the rest of my days with my wife.</s>GUTIERREZ: Thelma Gutierrez, CNN, Baker City, Oregon.</s>CLANCY: Well, terrorism may have destroyed parts of his body.</s>VASSILEVA: But not his spirit. Next on YOUR WORLD TODAY, a young Iraqi boy finds hope, half a world away.</s>CLANCY: Also...</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I am a targeted man. And I was told that the minute I arrive in the country again, I would be arrested, detained and tried.</s>CLANCY: They enter some of the most dangerous corners of the earth to fight for the defenseless. Still ahead, a closer look at some human rights heroes.
