BBC: Winter Olympics: Kim Jong-un calls for further reconciliation
North Korea's leader has called for a "further livening up" of the "warm climate of reconciliation" with the South created by the Winter Olympics.
Kim Jong-un, whose nuclear bomb and missile tests have stoked international tension, praised the South for hosting his state at the games in Pyeongchang.
Kim's apparent Games charm offensive was led by his sister Kim Yo-jong.

Anybody think a Jong-Un will reunite and take total power?
I didn't think so.
He's unpredictable. I think the Olympics have allowed him an exit from his own corner.
