♪ north korea facing tough new sanctions designed to saened message to the brutal regime. >> we are prepared to do whatever it takes to defend ourselves and our allies. the ball is in north korea's court. >> they priorize their nuclear and missile program above all else. >> the russian investigation is heating up a and so is the president. >> have you seen any russians in west virginia, ohio, or pennsylvania? >> sources tell cnn financial links could create a more path to criminal prosecution. >> i own nothing in russia. i have no loans in russia. the senior's policy adviser is under consideration for a hue communications job. >> he wants to have folks like

3:02 am
korea's court. they now have to decide where they want to go from here. we hope that they will go the route of peace and security. plus, president trump was on twitter on the north korea sanctions after a golf outing at his new jersey resort. he wrote the following. let's bring in errol louis, cnn political commentator and julian zeleny cnn political analyst and historian at princeton university and lieutenant general mark hertling. good morning to you will. julian, put into context the getting a unanimous vote on these sanctions from the u.s. security council for us. >> this was a very important step and highlights both the severity of the cries that many people feel and ambassador haley
3:03 am
very successful diplomatic skills that she has shown. this brings in russia and china into a coalition against north korea that focuses now on military sanctions as well as military actions so this is a big step. i think president trump will claim this as a victory for the moment. it's unclear this is going to work. it's unclear this will end the provocations, but it's a step where international alliances held in dealing with international threat. >> so let's pull out a few of the threats there first, errol. first, start with why china and russia, traditionally have vetoed or blocked sanctions like this have now signed on. >> west they want to be the only players in the nuclear club, just like any other nuclear power. they don't welcome unstable dangerously fragile regime like fl north korea suddenly getting nuclear weapons.
3:04 am
if you're china on the border you don't want a collapse of north korea which would with create a humanitarian crisis. one way or another they were bound to get involved and put pressure on it, i want to emphasize what julian said, it's quite an achievement for this administration to pull together all of the nations and to get a unanimous vote of this kind. >> okay. so, general, let's go to the secretary of state rex tillerson is today in the same room at some point with the north korean foreign minister. i want to replay for our viewers what he said this week about the u.s.'s approach to north korea, this more conciliatory tone we are hearing from tillerson. let's watch. >>. >> translator: china urged north korea to treat the new regarding north korea in a calm manner and not to conduct missile -- >> that is clearly not rex tillerson. he said we do not seek regime
3:05 am
change or an accelerated reunion i was of a peninsula and do not seek an excuse to send our military north of the 38th parallel. we are not your enemy, we are not your threat but you are presenting an uninspectable threat to us and we have to respond. contrast that with the test of the icvm this week as well and the drills in south korea. is there inconsistency here or is this part of a larger strategy? >> it's part of a much larger strategy, victor. we are talking about something that is really big in terms of this front. the administration has been able to combine the diplomatic efforts, not only the u.n. vote yesterday but the previous vote earlier this week that everyone focused on because of its russian sanctions but it also had north korean sanctions and this all came at a wonderful time because the asian conference was just beginning to start. so you see a diplomatic condemnation by 15 nations of the world that voted on this at the u.n. going against north korea. you combine that with the economic strategy which was associated with this, taking
3:06 am
away imports to north korea of coal, iron ore and iron and other products slamming some of their banks and taking personal actions against some of their leaders and, finally, along with an informationalal campaign. this is now on the world stage with many nations coming together. but when you use all three of those diplomatic information and economic tools, you always have to have the military tool on the background. it's not leading the way. but what mr. tillerson was saying is it's there if it need to be if there are additional launches or tests of nuclear weapons. this is a very good strategy on the part of the administration and ambassador tillerson and ambassador to the u.n. should be commented for very good work this week. >> so julian, back to a point you made. the suggestion or indication that these sanctions, above any other sanction, will be an effective deterrent to kim to abandon this effort to get a
3:07 am
nuclear weapon? do we know that it will be? >> no. i mean, i think most experts agree it probably won't be and the provocations will continue. i think as important as the sanctions is simply a show of international unity. that is why the u.n. can be so important, so this saisn't simp president trump versus the north koreans. it comes many allies with different interests agreeing this is the time to take action, whether that is diplomatic or military action. i would add the tweets are a little troublesome in that some of the bluster from the president is not always helpful in these situations, and so i think we need to check some of the enthusiasm with the reminder of the problems, not simply with sanctions, but with our own administration and the challenges that we are going to face. >> errol, let's look at a couple of the tweets. the president tweeting this about the last test. i am very disappointed in china.
3:08 am
our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions a year in trade yet they do nothing with us with north korea. just talk. we will no longer allow this to continue. china could easily solve this problem 3 billion economic impact and china is on board here, i mean, with this billion dollar impact on their income. does this public browbeating have a role? >> well, no. look. north korea is there, in part, because china wants it there. it's not a clear-cut sort of unambiguous hostile relationship. we should keep in mind, among other things, those icbms can reach alaska or california can reach beijing. i'll mention again this humanitarian consideration that they had, right now, you have a hue fun, perhaps even a few thousand people who can escape
3:09 am
over the border into china from north korea. if that becomes a failed state, you don't want to see 200, 000, 300,000 people swamping china. china wants some degree of stability there so they are playing a delicate game of their own. i'm sure if we look at the beijing version of this consideration they have a lot of considerations they have to deal with and you can't change that by browbeating the chinese government with a tweet. >> thank you all so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> thanks. as the special prosecutor widens his investigation into the russia and trump potential collusion or cooperation, what will we learn next? top democrat on the house intelligence committee adam schiff will join jake tapper this morning on "state of the union" at 9:00 a.m.

3:15 am
to reshape their department with a new director. steven miller could be a possibility here. >> you remember anthony scaramucci was fired on monday after just 11 days. here is athena jones at the white house. >> reporter: a white house tells cnn that steven miller is being considered for an elevated communications role. the role in addition to the role he is currently serving in as a senior policy adviser. he is also the president's main speech writer so he already has been playing a part in white house communication. now the source says that steve bannon, the president's chief strategist who is an ally on of steven miller part of the white house nationalist wing of the west wing, bannon favors restructuring the director of communications role. so it's not clear whether miller could get that title or just see his part elevated as part of the communications department. i should also mention that cnn has talked to two sources who say that the new chief of staff john kelly may be looking to
3:16 am
bring his homeland security department spokesperson over to the white house to serve as communications director. so we will have to wait and see who end up with that role and what that role will look like but we know that stephen miller is said to be one of the names on the list. >> thank you. let's bring back errol louis and julian zeleny. good morning, gentlemen. ed rogers wrote an op-ed this morning and said this. errol, is 245 accurate, based on what we know? >> well, he certainly comes across that way. he is sort of full of himself. he has got a lot of the policy ideas inside his brain that are part of the trump administration's agenda. on the other hand, there is a real simple reason i think why he is maybe not the best choice
3:17 am
which is that the guy has got a lot on his plate. if he is the principal speech writer, that, itself s more than a full-time job. if he is doing sort of policy work and developing and shaping a lot of the policies, we saw what happens when he and people around him act too quickly, which is what happened when he tried the immigration ban and caused chaos at the airports and put themselves in a terrible position vis-a-vis the courts. it's fine to have the input. he did a confident job, i think, at advancing the trump agenda at the press conference where he appeared. on the other hand, to do that day in and day out is probably courting more trouble than they want. >> let's talk about the fact that he is, indeed, you're right, trump's speech writer and he did craft that rule out of trump's travel ban which was unsuccessful, let's say. also crafted that controversial american carnage language for trump's inaugural speech. with that said, julian, maybe a better behind the scenes guy in
3:18 am
your opinion than in front of the camera or do you think differently? >> well, this is a very controversial figure. he was the warm-up act for donald trump as candidate and he both represents and believes in the most controversial ideas on this administration's plate from its very hard line immigration policies to many of the positions about muslims. here you are putting him front and center and hee not someone who is shy about saying what he thinks. and so i think at the same time that the administration is trying to pivot and curve itself a bit, they put this person front and center and it could create more controversy. so i think there could be costs beyond him doing too much. >> i want to talk about kellyanne conway telling fox news the doj may or may not i don't this lie detector test to
3:19 am
determine who is leaking information behind closed doors here because that is a real detriment to them no doubt about it. richard painter, former white house chiefs ethics lawyer, i should point out, said this about it. >> so-called leakers of nonclassified information is really getting out of control. they are trying to cover things up and now they are talking about bringing lie detectors into the white house. at least kellyanne conway was talking about that. i suggest they put one in the press podium there. the place would light up. >> you hear chuckling there. errol, why has this communications department seemed to be so unstable just six months in? >> well, the reality is the communications department is being run by the president sitting in the oval office, right? so if you ask anybody else to do a job that the president has already sort of taken for himself, a job which, by the way, he is not very consistent or smooth at because we have
3:20 am
seen so many inconsistencies when he wakes up this morning and decides to tweet something that contradicts a position that he had taken days or even hours earlier. so to the extent that they want somebody to sort of stand at that podium and try and give a coherent consistent message about a president who has decided he wants to act impulse sievely and on a whim, whoever is there is going to have a very, very tough job. >> julian, we only have a couple of second left here. but when they look at who to put in that position, what one characteristic or quality do you think should be top of the list for that candidate? >> they need someone who could actually heal relations with the media and do damage control for some of the tensions that president trump, himself, cause. i don't think they are going to want to do that or go in that direction but, in my opinion, that would be one of the biggest advances this administration can make. rather than a war with the media, try to take a more diplomatic route.
3:21 am
>> errol louis and julian zeleny, grateful that you two will get up so early in the morning for us. we appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. the u.n. hits north korea with devastating sanctions. we are talking a billion dollar impact here. of course, this is over the long-range missile program. while the trump administration celebrates the strongest sanctions ever. some wonder is it enough? a cease-fire is shattered. two people were shot and died after baltimore activists hoped for a weekend without any shootings. cnn original series "the 90s" takes a look at some of the most devastating events through the decade, including a tragic string of bombings. >> reporter: waco was proof positive to many of these people that this was an aggressive predatory federal and now we have to fight back like the minute men in 1776 to bear arms, to defend their own rights. >> this is the michigan militia.

a self-proclaimed fighting force of ordinary citizens preparing to defend themselves against the federal government. >> you will be receiving live fire over your heads this morning. >> reporter: there is also an armed militia here in indiana and at least 20 other states. >> we always had a radical right but in the '90s it entered the ma mainstream. gun shows were an important v thing. >> you can watch the full episode of "the nineties" only here on cnn tonight at 9:00 p.m. 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less,

new sanctions for north korea in response to its nuclear missile testing. >> the u.n. passed a resolution to slam the banks and key exports by more than a billion dollars. u.s. ambassador nicki haley these are, quote, the strongest sanctions ever imposed in response to a ballistic missile test. >> we are prepared to do whatever it takes to defend ourselves and to defend our allies, and the ball is in north korea's court. they now have to decide where they want to go from here. we hope they will go the route of peace and security. we hope that they will go the route of focusing on human rights and beating their people. we hope they will go the route of stopping modern slavery they do in terms of sending laborers overseas and taking money from that situation but, again, all of this is now in north korea's court and we will see how they respond. secretary of state rex tillerson is meeting with leader in the philippines and could
3:28 am
come face-to-face with his north korean counterparts and leaders around the world are waiting and watching to see if they will acknowledge one another if they are going to maybe ignore the other. the possibility here really high stakes. a meeting that could set the tone for the trump administration's policies on pyongyang going forward. >> reaction from across the world is pouring in. australia is taking to sanctions against north korea a step forward, slapping travel bans and financial restrictions targeting specific people and businesses in the regime. >> we have a team of reporters and analysts across the globe monitoring the world's response to the north korean threat. let's begin our team coverage with ivan watson in the philippines. the secretary of state just met with russia's foreign minister. of course, on the list is north korean sanctions. what are you learning about that exchange? >> reporter: good morning. that's right. the rex tillerson coming here for manila and amid the many
3:29 am
meetings he is having sitting down face-to-face with the russian foreign minister. it was the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nicki haley pointing out this might be a good place to show areas where, despite their huge differences, moscow and washington can work together, such as, for example, the case of north korea. and the trump administration has a feather in its cap, a diplomatic feather in its cap having just gotten this united nations security council resolution voted through unanimously through the united nations security council with these sanctions blocking exports of north korean coal, iron, and seafood, all big earners for north korea, according to, again, ambassador haley, this should amount for about a third of its export revenues. so a sign that despite huge differences with moscow, dispute huge differences with beijing as well, that washington was able to get this moving forward.
3:30 am
now the state department said part of the meeting here in manila was aimed at trying to show the diplomatic isolation of north korea. that didn't entirely succeed because north korea's foreign minister is also here, along with more than 20 other top diplomats from different other countries around the world. the south asian nations that are hosting this meeting, they issued a statement that expressed grave concern about two intercontinental ballistic missiles that north korea carried out the last month and condemned those launches and the southeast asian nations pushed back against the proposal by washington to suspend north korea from an asian regional forum that the north korean foreign minister will attend tomorrow and that is where you might get this interesting possible interaction where all of the diplomats will be in one room and, for the first time,
3:31 am
the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and the north korean foreign minister. so we will be watching closely to see if they at least acknowledge each other, though top american diplomats have said there is no meeting planned. now, of course, one country that faces a lot of possible repercussions is south korea. so we go to seoul where my colleague alexander field is standing by. >> reporter: thanks, ivean. we know the threat posed by north korea is not felt more greater than in south korea. one of the reasons the government officials here in south korea were quick to stand behind the u.n. sanctions that were just recently announced against south korea. the south korean government sees a step by all strong parties to send a message to north korea and for participants involved to work toward the denuclearization of that country of that regime.
3:32 am
today there was also an opportunity to secretary of state rex tillerson so meet with his south korean counterpart here and that conversation focused on the growing threat posed by north korea. they advanced the advancement of the nuclear program that country has demonstrated with two launches just last month. they also talked about how to proceed from here and it isn't just sanctions alone. they talked about keeping a door open for dialogue with the regime. that is something we have recently heard from washington and secretary of state rex tillerson himself. he has talked about the possibility of engaging in talks with north korea if the regime agrees to a deconsideration, denuclearization and something north korea will not do and say nuclear weapons are not a bargaining point for them. they see it central to the regime's survival but certainly dialogue is the way forward according to south korea. they have extended an invitation for talks directly to north korea and that invitation has not been responded to.
3:33 am
back to you. >> alexander field for us in seoul and ivan watson in manila, thank you both. let's bring back general mark hertling for more on this. we are getting some word right now that one thing of note that is the two men were already in the room and seated at the meeting table but there was never a handshake seen between the two of them. there was a shouted question about how the new sanctions would impact their talks. that question was ignored and the press was ushered out. do you make anything of the fact that there was no handshake? >> i don't. i think it's symbolic, first of all. another way to conduct diplomacy in these tough times. as the reporters just said, there are some things that might occur between the u.s. and russia because of the sanctions against north korea but an overhanging cloud of all the other items that are present, not only in the american psyche but on the world stage in terms of what russia is doing.
3:34 am
so while we might be able to work together and in bringing this north korean issue to the forefront some other are detrimental between engagement between diplomats. >> president trump tweeted out yesterday out the following. does this collective vote choke off funds specific to their nuclear program, general? >> no, it does not. but takes about a third of that i gdp away from the north korean leader. what that does, it forces him to make some decisions on where he is going to place the rest of his gdp. will he starve his country, as he has been doing to a degree completely, and will it kaus an up rising? or will he adjust from the nuclear and missile programs to make sure that other things within the north korean economy are take than care of?
3:35 am
that is the decision now on his mind and it puts him in a squeeze. this is the kind of thing that could not have been done in the past. we have reached an a point in the world, not just the united states has reached an inflection point with north korea. these kind of actions are now forcing his hand. give up the nuclear testing, give up the missile program without notification, or you will see your population really affected by some of these economic measures. and that is the beauty of the economy and the diplomacy as part of national power. if you force the other person's hand without military action is much better. >> that, i think s a collective idea there, definitely. general john w. nicholson of the international troops in afghanistan is something i want to shift to here. in the "the washington post" a report indicating there is widespread alarm among afghans that president trump is firing
3:36 am
the general and afghanistan is then in jeopardy. the u.s., they believe, will just abandon them. if the president asked you about general nicholson and the u.s. mission moving forward in afghanistan, what would you say to him today? >> well, i know mick nicholson very well. he is a good friend of ours. we worked to 0 an assignment for a long period of time, and he knows afghanistan more than any other soldier in the united states army, to be quite honest with you. he has been there multiple times and multiple tours and been in command now over a year and a half. so he knows the trajectory of the country and what is going on there. the president hasn't met general nicholson yet. this is a very insightful individual. he knows the progress that afghan has made and he knows where they are failing but he also has his hands tied in some of the efforts to support him. so what goes forward next in terms of the u.s. strategy
3:37 am
toward afghanistan, which has not been publicized yet, is critical important. this isn't as much to do about the commander as it is what do we want out of afghanistan? what is the way forward? what are the security objectives for the united states and what does the president, as the commander in chief, want his commander on the ground to do? general nicholson is in a precarious situation trying to execute a strategy that has been in place for a while when it doesn't seem to coincide with what the president wants to do right now. >> he has been there for 16 years. so a lot going on. general mark hertling, we appreciate your insight always. thank you. >> a pleasure. thank you. another fox news anchor is off the air. he is accused of inappropriate behavior on the job. we will tell you what led to eric bolling's suspension. also following weeks of public criticism, president trump is praising his attorney general jeff sessions. what changed?

fox news says eric bolling will be off the air until they finish their investigation. >> the announcement comes a day after huffington post reports that cited more than a dozen sources who say bolling sent coworkers unsolicited photos of his -- parts, let's say, of himself exposed. bolling's attorney says he denies the claims. joining us live from new york, cnn senior media correspondent brian stelter. brian, there are pictures, yes? >> that's right. pictures of his parts. not of his hands. i'll let the audience guess the rest. this is something that has been rumored at fox fa a while but not until "the huffington post" wrote about it on friday did fox decide to suspend him. here is what happened. fox says he will be suspended pending an investigation into these claims. his lawyer says he denies the claims. here is what his lawyer said to cnn on saturday evening. quote. the anonymous uncorroborated
3:43 am
claims are untrue and terribly unfair. we intend to fully cooperate with the investigation so that it can be concluded and eric can return to work as quickly as possible. bolling is star. he has been a rising star at fox news. he is also one of the most pro trump commentators on the channel. a well-known for his staunch defenses of the president. he has a new book out called "the swamp" for example. he is the centre piece of the 5:00 p.m. show and someone will fill in for mime. we have seen a number of fox news benched and removed from the channel due to harassment claims. first the head of the network roger ailes and bill o'reilly who denied claims against him and eric bolling is suspended because of his alleged texting of inappropriate images of several years ago. >> we will see where that goes. i want to talk about something
3:44 am
else we are hearing from the president via his official statements. now praising the attorney general jeff sessions after a couple of weeks going after him. >> yes. this is very significant. the president on twitter for the first time in many weeks, offering public support, some praise for his attorney general. this after weeks of speculation that maybe sessions was about to lose his job. so here is the tweet last night saying the following. the president must have watched sessions press event on friday when session promised a crackdown on leakers in the government. he said leak investigations have tripled under the trump administration. so far we have only seen one prosecution we are aware of an alleged leaker a reality winter. but sessions is vowing further action perhaps, also targeting journalists, as well as the leakers who sent information to journalists. that is a highly controversial
3:45 am
move but the president seems to support it, expressing support for sessions. i wonder if this is going to relieve some of the pressure on the attorney general's office after those weeks of stories about whether he about to lose his job. >> and how long this will last. >> exactly. yeah, that's right. >> brian stelter, thank you so much. watch "reliable sources" this morning on cnn at 11:00 a.m. eastern. the fbi is investigating an explosion at a mosque and what a witness saw after that homemade bomb went off. she is found guilty in new york. martin ska relhkreli is celebra with fans.
