Olympic gig gets going

A shipload of North Korean musicians, singers and dancers has arrived in South Korea to perform at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

The arrival of the Mangyongbong 92 cruise ship was met by hordes of reporters and cameramen — and a small but boisterous protest by a group of South Koreans who oppose the last-minute agreement allowing North Korea to join in the games, which open on Friday.

The ship carried members of the Samjiyon Band, an orchestra with vocalists and dancers that is headed by one of North Korea's best-known singers, Hyon Song Wol.
