From the BBC World Service… A day after talks of denuclearization broke down between the U.S. and North Korea, South Korea's president gave a speech insisting meaningful progress was, in fact, made during the two-day talks. We'll explore why the country has such a large stake in the its northern neighbor's international relationship. Then, as people live longer, governments around the world are grappling with how to deal with higher health care costs. Wearable technology, though, could hold the key to alleviating the strain.
