Tens of thousands of North Koreans have taken to the capital's snow-covered streets to pay their last respects to their late leader. The farewell ceremony that will last for two days started with a funeral procession led by Kim Jong-il's youngest son and successor. The long-standing leader of the world's most reclusive country died eleven days ago of a heart attack. Knowledge of his heir, Kim Jong Un, is shrouded in mystery, though some are hoping his Western education may see a more open country. But a specialist on Asia, Dr. Tim Beal, thinks it's not entirely up to the successor to determine North Korea's future.
Also, journalist and war correspondent Eric Margolis shares view there's little chance of change in North Korea, due to the excessive influence of the military.
