welcome to our viewers here nts united states and of course all around the world i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm george howell.ym following the breaking news from northern california, the evacuation of nearly 200,000 people living near the tallest dam in the united states have beenç ordered to leave their homes for their own safety. >> yeah and they are leaving

that area around the dam after a hole was found inç a spill way devastating flood could be unleashed if that hole gets worse. officials say they are making progress as they work toç redu the danger and they say there is no risk that the dam itself will fail, but they want the public to note, this is still a÷ú very risky situation. >> we have water coming over the top of the emergency spill way, it was beginnifg!to erode the ground. when you start to erode the ground, it starts to under mine itself. when it's doing that. itç starts working itself back towards that portion of it. it has nothing to do with the dam itself, large portion. ì% don't take care of that and mitigate it properly, essentially what we're looking at, talk to me, a 30 foot wall of water that will bezv coming t of the lake. not lake drain but 30 foot wall

of water. >> i spoke to eric,v: he's a reporter and i asked him, just how bad the situation is on the ground there and how bad it could get? >> theç potentials are a huge wall of water coming down through the clear. it was really scarey around 4:30 to a lot of residents when they started getting a phone call that's probably going to happen based on projections, how to hold groin, çthankfully, it didn't progress so bad, in fact, in the end the water stopped am. the last press conference we had they still weren't confident enough to let people go back home. it÷ú doesn't look as imminent a it did for a while, there. >> we were looking at pictures there. it is an incredible size hole there. talk to usym about how that may have happened and also all the

people that needed to be evacuated for the region have done so. >> yeah,÷ú i mean, they set up evacuation centers that are now full, already, all of the hotels, motelsç in the nearby town. but, yeah, the funny thing about this hole, the pictures you're probably seeingp that's the hol in the main spill way. what's of concern is the emergency stow away.zv now, that hole in the main one happened. that's started coming out on tuesday and sent that much water down thatç as they could, diminish that, they're basically puck "f" and that's whatç caus me to be a problem today. >> so officials are monitoring the situation. many people right now are on the roads trying to get to theç safety. ted is live in the international

weather center with a look at the situation now and also a weight. he drives and now it's a different story. >> it's down to 33% of the yorgy how well. how could we have known, that's out for a couple of days ago. >> show me where we're located, the wall is 235 meters, 770 feet high. it's higher than theu! uber dam. this is where the damage has been found and they're dropping rocks to be able to fix the predators. they're in the emergency spill way and it was built backç in 1968, that spill way had not been used until saturday. want to show you this, when you're going for a close look just north of sacramento. this is the ÷úarea. again, that's the area i feel

right here. this is the burn that has been jeopardizing, it's a tremendous am of water. if you look at thezv landscape d uncontrolled environment for this. if you have too much water come all at once you'll not be able to directly whereç the water flows. you get it to come downstream and that's going to be major problem if too much comes down asym one. this has been a symbol for doctor dry out for california. we shared a couple of yields where it was a healthy level for august 2014. you see where the water levels were at÷ú 33% capacity for that spot. >> you see the water level. this is where we are, of course, beyond that, initial imagbéñ we're filling it. the conditions have improved. they've allowed about 100,000 per kid and that's the same amount ofswater you see clocking

the niagra falls the peak of summer twaurds season. that's a lot of water the concern. you hwqáiced, of course, we got here of 200% of normal of rape fall and also no fall.ym warnings in place where flash flood warning remains in place.ç it's on a rehorizon. one for later this week that could be over concerned with guys. this comes on friday. it brings in main,yú heavy rain fall and when you get snow fall, you'll allow that to meltç gradually. and we can get heavy rain falls it rises instantly. and that's what officials are trying to correct right now. >> thank you. >> thanks so much. we're following, north korea continues to defy u.n. resolutions. they say thisp missile is

launched sunday and can evade interception and carry a nuclear war head. the staid media says it's a new type of medium to long-range terrorist k missile. it was likely and motivated worthym a dam. you can get a sense as the type of missile that has intermediate range can reach line three that you see onç this map. sunday's missile, it only traveled a little more than 300 miles or 500u! kilometers. but north korea calls it a success at development our time. united states, south korea and japan have called for an urgent meeting of the u.n. security council because of this launch. cnn has live coverage with our reporter. and thoseç are in live and sof sound. steven, i want to go to you, first, how is÷ú the u.s. securi council likely to respond to

north korea's latest missile tips? what are the options available to them? giving that sngssç do not appe to have the impact that they were hoping. >> the year security council conceivably could issueht in response to what happened here on sunday morning, but the odds are i don't think you'll see that. it's only because -- take aslook at what happened in 2016 there were two different around the sanctions levied against north korea after two different testss these were not intermediate range missile test that prompted those sanctions. north korea announced two dozen missile tests throughout the year. it was after the nuclear test, though, that those sanctions were invoked for the first round and thenzv second round of sanctions. i think for giving what they usually do, what north korea has to merit it. thank you andzv i think about pe

tif to be relatively unlikely. they continue to have that option on the table here moving forward. inpr"ujuju of one other issue there, of course, china, you have to consider what china is willing to do and i'm sure steven can talk to this, but china,÷ú owes a lot of sway. u.n. security council in terms of how willing are they to move forward with any sanctions that could beym adopted. >> we've been joining this and thank you. >> doesn't that point it out, a very important vacuum when it comes tosnorth korea we're live in clie na, with beijing with steven young, first of all, have you heard anything newp from chinese officials regarding this missile test? >> well, george, the officials just responded for the first tirq more than 24 hours after the lunch to the news and the remarks by foreign ministry spokesman at the ministry'szv

daily press grieving. he said china opposes any thort korean missile launch in violation of the security he urged all relevant sites to stop provoking each other or taking actions, i would expect, a complete career adams. you netsed the urging section called by the u.s. and its allies i say in china well perfectly çdebayed. all of them were responsible and constructive out of the control. so here you have it, the first official response from china offering the news that north korea's latest missile launch. from what we have heard from some analyst, the reason for trying not tozv maintain the qut for such a long time is probably trying to -- does not view the latest attackzv as direct threa to itself. rather missile, called for attention from the new administration, as well as warning shot toç japan, whose

prime minister who is currently in the u.s. now, from the chinese per speck ty, you mentioned is the only majorzv ally north korea has on global stage and don't we influence and leverage, that's how much it's debatable, from ç beijing's perspective, that influence of leverage happened exaggerated overstated by western leaders and westernxd media. mr. trump tweeted about not doing enough to bring him in. from chinese perspective. it's in the u.s. court the wayh they see it will cause to nuclear missile issue, is the conflict between united statesp and u.s. you've been joining us even for doing that. >> and analysis on north korea'ç missile tip. he is circuit professor at the beyonce university graduate school of international studies

thank you so muchç for being wh us. we'll get to china's response in just a moment, north korea claim this was a successful firing of but we understand you reached 500 kilometers. what doç you make of climbs. >> how far away do you believe. north korea you instructed five hour you'll continue toq% move that quickly. >> could also bleed racial coast on the u.s. >> well, obviously, we have to take north korea's climsç with grain of salt. but the other thing to keep in mind is that even a failed test is -- gives them valuable information about where they need to adjust and improve that program. from what we can help so far from the announcements i look like,zv they're still wicky defense. you can't go by how far the missile led because there's no

the trajectory. it was shooted higher and learned what they need to in order to improve their program. it's stillç early and i think they'll assess what they've done. this seems to be relatively speaking a successful test asç they are on their march to a full panel of delivery systems, which strikez6$pá enemies in th region and one that will come to the u.s. mainland, missiles with a clear set of war head. >> they try to stop, north korea, successfully firing and ease. given sancans that have been applied so far, don't really appear to have much of an impact. >> this isç about the united nations and the u.n. is not going to solve this. we've learned from the lastly

rough or eight inzv rules. there haven't been diplomat si and north koreas and we tried to, you know, tried to ÷ú perspective, tried the opposite. if you're not wandering the result. we haveç north koreian and missile program that just keep ranking up it's 67 year after year. the u.n. is not the wayç to soe this problem. if the u.s. out dreets your plan, i want to get some statement rather than resolution slap onç the wrist they can. i think they're cooling themselves to think that's the quiet on çzoom. >> the key for the trump administration to pursue direct di plo may ma si and he's there with me any çway. you look at the track record of what happened and what worked. the best period that we have is

the good chunk of the÷ú 1990s wn the clinton administration did just that. but under those years of a deal called framework, we at least, more or less, stoppedç north korea's progress. they were hedging and cheating. so were the americans and so with everyone. in than we are now. there's an unusual opportunity because donald trump has an openness. he said he would meetç with hi. he does have a certain pragmatism. he's been disciplined and constrained about what he said. strafgdly i'm a little bit optimistic that there may be a diplomatic effort that can at least get a freeze on the program, getç a return of nvt r sos we snow about what they're doing and essentially reset the relationships so that weç can change our whole strategy. long term we'll deal with them. >> we'll see how much is traken

s8china, of course, north korea major ally. that relationship has been strained of late. so does china have any influence over north korea and÷ú if it doesn't, do you think it, then, direct negotiations through the trump administration, the only÷ option here? >> yeah. again, you know, this is one of the lessons learned. united states has tried for many many years to get thenb chineseo do the heavy lifting on north korea. if you talk to chinese and i go to u.s. comment. you hearz8áhe same thing and they'll turn you in official challenges as well. we don't have the leverage. we can't convince the north koreans to do things. language. tae don't want to talk to you as the american. so the ironny here is if the trump administration wereç to pursue direct diplomacy, i think you would actually find the

chinese feeling exclusivitied andç certainly wanted to get wt they're praying for. this notion of trying toje$z co nupgs that has throttled to diplomatic progress. >> we will certainly be watching very closely for the next step in this.s appreciate it. >> what will the trump administration will do with this? >> heç said i will go there, i wouldn't go there, i can tell you that. if he came here, i would expect him here. >> that was on theç campaign trail by the u.s. president. still ahead when we come back, it is the new week in washington for presidential trump. first up,zv one on one with justin, meanwhile look at whatever on the agenda.

welcome back to cnn. i'm george howell. tensions between iran and the united states. it could have issues with the middle east and the iran economy. our senior international correspondent frederik pleitgen is live in they ehran. fred, when it came to the iran nuclear deal, it took moderates from both nations to come together and make this deal happen. that has changed with the u.s. president who is no moderate who makes that very clear. >> reporter: absolutely. it has changed. moderates were enthusiastic about the nuclear agreement thinking it would bring benefits to iran. that happened slower than most would have hoped. many fear with the trump administration in office that those benefits could go away quickly. we went to iran's ski resorts.

here is what they had to say. internationally, not many people know iran has a wealth of ski area. looking at the crowd, you can almost think you are in a european or american resort. fewer religious conservatives or moderates. many moderates fear president trump's harsh stance on iran could lead to renewed conflict. >> they show that relationship with america. i don't think trump shows a good faith. he's against us. >> we're not happy what the man is showing, but the world will show it is not true. after easing of tensions in the obama years relations have taken a nose dive since donald trump has assumed office. administration hitting iran with sanctions after tehran with a
