New $\epsilon{'}/\epsilon$ results

Recent results on the search for direct CP violation in the neutral kaon system are discussed together with a review of the techniques used. The new preliminary result from CERN-NA48 $\Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon)=(14.0 \pm 4.3) \times 10^{-4}$ is presented. The current world average is $\Re(\epsilon'/\epsilon)=(19.3 \pm 2.4) \times 10^{-4}$ establishing the existence of direct CP violation.
