N Korea offered nuclear deal (by S. Korea)
EFL
North Korea has been offered compensation if it ends its nuclear weapons programme, on the first day of six-party talks on the crisis. South Korean delegate Lee Soo-hyuck said he outlined a three-step proposal to resolve the stand-off, offering "countermeasures" to reward the North. South Korea’s proposal to end the impasse is believed to include three phases:
* Phase 1: North Korea states its readiness to dismantle its nuclear programmes, in return for which, the US states its readiness to provide security guarantees for North Korea
Dont youi love how S. Korea makes commitments on our behalf?

* Phase 2: North Korea dismantles its nuclear programmes. This, once verified, earns North Korea energy aid and other rewards

* Phase 3: The resolution of all other issues and the improvement of relations

* Phase 4: N. Korea restarts their nuclear program for a new extortion crisis in 2010.
It was unclear whether the US, or any other party, endorsed the South’s offer. As the meeting opened, the United Nations World Food Programme announced it had resumed food aid to millions of people in North Korea following last-minute emergency contributions.
