Enemies back on track in Korea http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=53189&videoChannel=1

May 17 - North and South Korea has sent trains across the border which separates the two countries for the first time in more than 50 years.

Two trains from North and South Korea crossed the heavily armed border restoring an artery severed in the 1950-1953 war and fanning dreams of unification. It took the two Koreas 56 years to send the trains across the Cold War's last frontier for the one-off runs of about 25 km. The trip sparked dreams of unification but not all South koreans were celebrating.

Sonia Legg reports.

Soundbites:

South Korean Unification Minister Lee Jae-Jeong, (Korean) Kim Do-Ja, passenger, (Korean) Nam Jang-ho, protestor, (Korean)
