4:00 am
president is expected to eand a program protecting undocumented immigrants who came to the u.s. as children from being deported. president trump again at odds with many in his own party. let's begin with cnn's will ripley who was just in north korea where he's done more than a dozen times. he joins us live from tokyo with the latest. good morning, will. >> reporter: hi, dave. we were in pyongyang last week and government officials expressed their furry with the united states. we saw that anger translated into action with north korea's most powerful nuclear test today creating a magnitude 6.3 earthquake. now there are indications that north korea's leader kim jong-un may be upping the ante again. south korea reporting they have intelligence that there is continuous activity inside north korea. they're seeing this on spy satellites, that the country could be preparing to launch yet another ballistic missile. they think it would be a submarine ballistic missile, an
4:01 am
intermediate ballistic missile like the one they launched last week or an intercontinental ballistic missile like the one they launched twice in july. south korea also believes the north may be following through on a promise it made last week to fire these missiles into the ocean as their target. north korea was saying this missile launch over japan last week was a prelude for future military options aimed at containing guam and promising to fire more moyes sills towards the pacific. the question, where would the missiles go and how would the united states be forced to react? if this proves to be true, north korea not backing down. they have a major holiday coming up on saturday, the country's foundation day. last year on foundation day, they conducted a nuclear test. will they launch yet another missile trying to defiantly send a message to president trump and the united states. alisyn? >> will, thank you very much for all of that reporting. south korea responding to north korea's threat by simulating an attack on the north's main
4:02 am
nuclear test site. cnn's paula hancocks is live in seoul with that part of the story and all the breaking details. paula? >> reporter: alisyn, this was a live fire drill we saw on monday morning. it involved fighter jets from south korea. it involved sur fis to sur fis ballistic missiles. it was meant to send a message to north korea. we heard from the defense ministry that this drill which was firing at simulated targets off the east coast of korea was showing a willingness that they could attack if needed and also that they could destroy the enemy's leadership. it's something we heard from south korea before, but it's certainly putting the north korean leader kim jong-un on notice that they can fight back in necessary. once again, a live fire drill in response to something that north korea has done. there is also political turmoil here in south korea. there are concerns about that tweet from u.s. president donald trump when he spoke about the
4:03 am
appeasement of south korea when it came to north korea. it's a very loaded word and there are concerns as to what that means for the relationship between the u.s. and south korea. also, many people i spoke to on the streets of seoul were a little put out that donald trump has spoken twice to the japanese leader, but in the last couple of days not once to the south korea president. and certainly not once since that nuclear test happened. dave? >> paula hancocks live in seoul, thanks so much. president trump and his national security team closely watching this situation. defense secretary james mattis delivering a stern warning to north korea from the white house. cnn's barbara starr live at the pentagon. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. the question now is what will the trump administration do, if anything, in response to all this. there are reports south koreans want a bomber aircraft sent. no word from the pentagon yet about whether any of that will happen. president trump again tweeting, looking to trade what he sees as
4:04 am
one of his levers potentially to pressure the chinese. the president tweeting, and i quote, the united states is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with north korea. that, of course, would also have a trade impact on the united states. as you said, defense secretary james mattis speaking about all of this with some very tough words. >> any threat to the united states or its territories including guam or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. but as i said, we have many options to do so. >> reporter: options to do so. the u.s. making the point it's not out for regime change in north korea.
4:05 am
it is trying to get kim jong-un to change his ways, something he's in the likely to do. and making it very clear, if he attacks, if he threatens, the u.s. will answer that. >> thank you very much. let's bring back our panel, we have will ripley. also joining us gordon chang the ar thundershower of "nuclear showdown, north korea takes on the world," a columnist for "the daily beast." and sean turner, the director of communications for u.s. intelligence. let's talk about real world options this morning. you saw the president's tweet where he said the u.s. is willing to cut off real trade with any country that does business with north korea, meaning listen up, china. is that the right way to go in your mind? is that the real world option here? >> that is the real world option. after that -- this was not just some isolated donald trump tweet. secretary mnuchin said he was going to put together a
4:06 am
sanctions package which would accomplish the same thing. this changes everyone's calculus. we always say the north koreans will never give up their nukes. the chinese will never press the north koreans unless the united states puts pressure on both these countries and makes the incentives very different. an embargo -- xi jinping is full neshl up until that time. afterwards going forward he's going to be more difficult to deal with. trump has a closing window of opportunity to actually affect chinese decisions. >> sean, whether it's strategic patience, the fire and fury of donald trump. you're the former director of communications. does communication matter? will anything stop north korea from further developing their nuclear ambitions?
4:07 am
>> steve bannon saying there was no military option and the tough talk of the president, what that tells is clearly there are times when the president and his senior advisory team are not on the same page. the communication does matter. one of the things the president has done quite well, he's shown us he knows how to talk tough. i don't say that as an insult because i don't think it's necessarily a negative thing. but talking tough is not necessarily leadership. what the president needs to do in his leadership right now, he needs to make sure he projects a steady hand and projects strong leadership to our partners and allies. i think in this instance, this is an opportunity for the president to show that when faced with an international crisis like this, that he can communicate in a way that accurately reflects the strength and the willingness of the united states to lead the rest of the world. >> will, a lot has happened since the president made his famous fire and fury comment. let's recap that and play it and then we'll get to you.
4:08 am
>> north korea best not make anymore threat to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. >> so, will, that was august 9th. that got a lot of attention. obviously hearing the president of the united states use language like that. it does seem the north koreans is capable of matching any forceful language and even going way over the top. even this past week they've done those things. your thoughts? >> we thought things were quieting down. there were several weeks of quiet where there was a little rhetoric coming out of north korea. remember it was almost two weeks ago that president trump said at a campaign rally he thinks north korea is beginning to respect the united states and something positive is going to happen. when i landed in pyongyang at the beginning of last week, actually last weekend, officials told me that was absolutely not the case. they said they were furious, the
4:09 am
tensions were the highest they had seen in years and to be prepared for some serious response from north korea. of course, we saw them launch three short range missiles. during the week they launched an intermediate range missile over who kied dough and japan. there were air raid sirens going off. people getting warnings on their phones taking them to take cover. they conducted the strongest nuclear test ever on sunday, indicating they're going to launch more missiles towards the pacific, saying the launch over japan was a prelude to military options aimed at containing guam. north korea clearly is not backing down here. they told me they're not afraid of president trump, not afraid of on going joint military exercises with south korea. they say that only makes them want to accelerate their weapons of mass destruction program, and they say they're not afraid of sanctions because they point out they survived a familiar lynn
4:10 am
where hundreds of thousands of people died and their regime survived. >> hellbent on nuclear weapons regardless of economic isolation. gordon, let's go back to yesterday and what started all this. some say it's seven times stronger than the bomb dropped on hiroshima. >> there's going to be weeks of people going over data. for instance, we have the snitcher planes going through the air. in the north korea's first step in 2006, we were smelling all sorts of stuff that had been released into the atmosphere. the most recent tests, the north koreans have buried this stuff, sealed their tunnels so well that we have not picked up smells in the atmosphere. this indicates that we're learning less and less about what the north koreans are doing. in a couple weeks we will figure out the yield on this thing. but it's going to take us a little time. >> shawn, what is the next step here for the u.s.? we just had general michael
4:11 am
hayden, former cia director, as you know, on, saying it's up to the chinese to -- he suggests the u.s. and north korea have direct talks and the chinese can sort of facilitate that. what do you think the next move is? >> i think the first step is, we've got this meeting today at the u.n. it has to be about identifying additional leverages of pressure for north korea. we saw the sanctions last month. those sanctions appear to have not been extremely effective. i think we'll see additional sanctions. but sanctions are only as good as their ability to be implemented and the willingness of countries to abide by those sanctions. i do think to general hayden's point, at this point we need to look at both kind of the multilateral measures we can put in place, but we also have to look directly at china. china is north korea's largest -- the largest trade partner. we've got to look at oil imports. we've got to look at the banking
4:12 am
industry. we've got to look at every leverage of pressure short of the military option to make sure we can contain north korea's progress with regard to nuclear weapons. >> panel, thank you all very much. great to have all your expertise here. now to other other top stories. sources tell cnn president trump is expected to end the program -- many republican lawmakers are urging the president not to do this. cnn's joe johns live at the white house with the details. good morning, joe. >> good morning, dave. that announcement is expected tomorrow, ending the deferred action for childhood arrivals program in this way with a six-month pause, would fulfill one of the president's key campaign promises while also putting the onus on congressional republicans and the speaker of the house to reinstate it. the speaker has said the president should not get rid of it in the first place.
4:13 am
>> should dreamers be worried? >> we love the dreamers. we love everybody. >> sources tell cnn president trump is expected to end an obama-era program that protects young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the u.s. as children from being deported. the issue, one of the president's core campaign promises. >> i want the children that are growing up in the united states to be dreamers, also. they're not dreaming right now. >> reporter: president trump's plan would affect some 800,000 so called dreamers studying and working in the u.s. two sources with knowledge of the president's thinking saying the president is planning to delay his action six months, giving congress time to come up with a legislative replacement to daca. but a growing number of republicans are speaking out against the move. >> these kids don't know any other home. i think there's a humane way to fix this. i think president trump agrees with fixing this. it's got to be up to the legislature. there are 800,000 daca kids,
4:14 am
kids brought across the border -- the median age is six years old for those 800,000 when they came across the border, they should not be punished for the sins of their parents. >> senator bernie sanders says ending the program would be one of the ugliest and cruellest decisions ever made. while republican congressman steve king praised it as a chance to restore rule of law. >> we're going to deal with daca with heart. i have to deal with a lot of politicians, don't forget, and i have to convince them what i'm saying is right. the daca situation is a very, very difficult thing for me because, you know, i love these kids. >> before leaving the white house, mr. trump's predecessor vowed not to remain silent if he went after dreamers. >> efforts to round up kids who have grown up here and for all practical purposes are american kids and send them someplace
4:15 am
else when they love this country -- >> reporter: getting a decision on daca has been made more urgent by a threat from ten state attorneys general to go to court if the president doesn't do something by tomorrow. there is nothing on the president's public schedule at least so far today. alisyn? >> joe, thank you very much for that update. there's this growing to-do list. they have harvey relief, the debt ceiling, tax reform and north korea. so what comes first? so what comes first? two lawmakers here next. it ss and automatically adjusts on both sides. the new 360 smart bed is part of our biggest sale of the year where all beds are on sale. and right now save 50% on the labor day limited edition bed, plus 36 month financing. ends monday!

south korea says they're seeing signs that north korea is planning to launch yet another ballistic missile this week, this comes after their sixth and most powerful nuclear testal. joining us is republican congressman pete sessions of texas. thanks so much for being here. >> good morning, alisyn. >> what do you want to see the u.s. do about north korea? >> the u.s. needs to take strong action. i have listened to the words
4:20 am
this morning of advice from professionals who offer us the advice of stopping chinese goods coming into the united states. i think we're going to have to play, not only hardball, but let the chinese know we're serious about this effort and they're going to have to do something. military options, while they might be full for us should be the last resort, but we must not allow the north koreans to move further. i've taken the oath of office to protect and defend this country. the president did also and i know the president takes it seriously. we must do something now and take action. lots of things are on the table, alisyn. >> are you worried about, if the u.s. launches a tread embargo with china, worried about the repercussions on the u.s. economy? >> sure i am. which is greater to do, some show that we intend to move the
4:21 am
chinese further into the international community to protect peace and economic opportunity or simply rain down missiles around north korea? i think i'll take the first one first. >> when president trump said two weeks ago i think north korea is finally starting to respect us. let me just play a portion of this for you. >> kim jong-un, i respect the fact that i believe he is starting to respect us. i respect that fact very much and maybe, probably not, but maybe something positive can come about. >> congressman, does it feel to you like kim jong-un is starting to respect the u. [. >> what it sounds like to me is the president attempted to offer what i'd say is the olive leaf to offer a chance for the north
4:22 am
koreans and chinese to work this through. when you're protecting the country, there is no limit to what you'll do. protecting america, american skberests, president trump must do everything he can. one should be first and one should be last. what is first is economic sanctions after you've already tried to use common sense. i support president trump and his ability to use all things on the table. if those economic sanctions fail, we must not let north korea fire off missiles at will. that should not happen. i will say to the president, mr. president, you have my full support and i think full support of members of the party after you've exhausted other opportunities. >> let's talk about the other big news, the fate of the 800,000 young people brought to this country through no choice of their own. what do you think should happen
4:23 am
to these young people? >> first of all, congress should have some time ago taken up what i consider to be incremental steps to where we can deal with our own economic problems. we left $2 billion in the field agricultural this last summer, this summer that we're ending right now. we need agricultural workers. in dallas texas we have jobs that are begging for people who will actually work in the trade's industry. in the northeast we heard testimony from richard neil about thousands and thousands of jobs that are going without being field. people cannot pass drug tests. we need for the sake of america to deal with this. we have an available workforce that is there. we need to work on a guest worker plan which would solve many of these ills that we have, and the problems of the direction we're going. my party, the republican party
4:24 am
needs to step up on this issue. >> congressman, what does that have to do with all respect, with the 800,000 dreamers. these are kids who are working, these are kids who are in school, these are kids who for all intents and purposes, america is their home. some of them obviously brought here as infants. what do you want to see happen to these young people? >> well, today, today they're having trouble of even finding work and moving forward in the workplace. a guest worker bill would acknowledge that they're here. while it's not the whole loaf, it's more than half a loaf. to move them directly into our workplace, directly into a status where they have an opportunity to make wages, pay taxes and to have a legal status as a guest worker, i think that's the minimum that we should do that gives opportunity for people who today are without
4:25 am
any opportunity. that's where i believe we should start. do we have the votes for that? yes, i think we do it creatively and smart, we would even have the votes for thats, and we must move for ward. we've got to work with the white house. our party and mem bevers of the house are prepared and i think ready for this. >> okay. we'll see if that's right since you're all getting back at it this week. let's talk about your home state and harvey having hit texas so hard. are you comfortable with the harvey relief being tied to the debt ceiling argument? >> no. first of all, let me say this, i think they're separate items. i think the debt limit is going to have to pass. the sequencing might be something that would be important here, but the opportunity for us to fund the government when there's so much going on, we need to untie those and make them separate, just like i'm wanting us to have a clean bill when we do handle the
4:26 am
effort to fund harvey. that should be clean. we should not put in years of appropriations marks to be in there. we need to do our work, i think they should be separated. i'm supporting not only my members that are asking for that, but i'm trying to do the right thing and i hope that is where we end up. and i think we will this week. >> congressman pete sessions, thanks so much for taking time to be on "new day." >> you fwet. >> what do democrats think president trump should do about the escalating tensions with north korea and the dreamer situation? we'll ask a democratic member of the senate foreign relations committee next. turally beautifu, fresh and nutritious. so there are no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives in any of the food we sell. we believe in real food. whole foods market.

the threat from north korea is escalating by the day. south korea says the north could launch another missile this week. what options does president trump have? let's ask democratic senator ben cardin, member of the senate foreign relations committee. good morning, senator. >> good morning, dave. good to be with you. >> good to have you on this holiday.
4:31 am
defense secretary james mattis warned of massive military response. what are the realistic military options to contain the north korean nuclear threat? >> well, i think the military options are somewhat limited because of the risk factors involving south korea, involving japan. one thing is clear, the president's tough talk has not appeared to change the calculation of north korea. what the president needs to do is engage china and hopefully russia to put the type of pressure on north korea that changes their calculations. we haven't seen that, and that's our best option rather than a military option. >> you talk about the president's rhetoric on twitter. here is what jeff flake said about the north korean threat and about the president's leadership on this issue yesterday on "state of the union." >> i have a lot of confidence in our national security team, general mattis and others, but obviously that's something that they have to consider and everything dealing with this situation has to consider.
4:32 am
it becomes cliche to say there are no good options here, but there really aren't. we want somebody who is measured and sober and consistent and conservative in this regard. but he has a good team around him and i have confidence in them. >> we want someone who is measured and consistent and sober. but presumably he meant to say we don't have that. should the american people take comfort about what he said there regarding president trump's leadership on this issue? >> i agree with senator flake in that we want to see that type of measured and responsible leadership here. general mattis certainly has given us a great deal of confidence here. he's in charge of our military option. he's the first to acknowledge that that should not be used only as a matter of last resort. what we really need to do is see a surge in diplomacy. we need to see the united states effectively change china's
4:33 am
attitude towards north korea. that would change north korea's calculation, but without that, we're heading towards a catastrophic result here. >> perhaps that's the next move on trade. the next move the president is facing is this announcement tomorrow that we've been reporting that he will end the daca or dreamers program tomorrow which would change the status of 800,000 in this country. with a six-month delay, allowing congress to fix it. republicans in both the house and senate have been clearment they think congress should be the one to fix it. here is what speaker ryan tweeted about this situation. in our country, the conditions of your birth does not determine the outcome of your life. this is what america -- what makes america so great. can congress come up with legislation to fix the dreamers program and protect those 800,000 here? >> if the republican leadership will bring a bill to the floor of the senate and the house, i'm
4:34 am
confident we could pass such a bill. the senate did that a few years ago. we passed comprehensive immigration reform that did deal with the dreamers. i met with the dreamers last week in maryland at an immigration roundtable. you're talking about disrupting families that have been in the united states for a long time, disrupting the workforce, the president putting out there that the daca program could end in six months is not helpful and will affect our economy, will affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people here in the united states. but congress should pass comprehensive immigration reform, and we certainly should pass a bill that protects the dreamers. >> progressive advocacy group said it would cost the economy more than $400 billion over the next decade. congressman sessions just told alisyn a guest worker program ought to be the solution and they have the votes for it in the house. are there the votes for that in
4:35 am
the snenate? >> there might be. the daca children already have protection in the workforce. what the president is doing is taking away that protection they have, that certainty they have under the daca program. i wasn't sure what he was referring to. yes, we should pass comprehensive immigration reform. it should deal to make sure people have status here in the united states, a pathway to citizenship. those types of issues should be dealt with with comprehensive immigration reform. at a minimum we need to protect the dak that children. >> also on the president's plate is harvey funding. congressman sessions said they should untie raising the debt ceiling and harvey relief. treasury secretary steve mnuchin says he wants them together on one bill. what is there the votes for in the senate? should they be tied together or separa
4:36 am
separate? >> dave, we have an incredibly important agenda we must get through in september. yes, we must be take care of the people in texas. we have to not default on our debt ceiling, make sure the government stays open by the end of the month. we need to get rid of sequestration. these are all issues that should have been dealt with -- obviously the problems with harvey are new. but the others we knew about prior to going into the august recess. we have to get our work done as quickly as possible, and we have to achieve all those objectives in september. >> should they be separate, raising the debt ceiling and harvey relief? >> i'm willing to consider issues brought together so we can get the things accomplished, but i want to make sure we take care of the people of texas, make sure we don't default on our debt, want to get rid of sequestration and make sure government stays open. >> a full plate when congress returns to session tomorrow. senator, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, dave.

president trump is expected to end a program that protects the so-called dreamers from deportation. but the president will give congress six months to try to fix it. many republicans speaking out against the president's move. let's discuss it with democratic strategist maria cardona and f.a.i.r. administrator dan stein. good to see both of you this morning. >> great to be here, alisyn. >> dan, let me start with you. explain the thinking behind deporting some 800,000 young people who were brought to this country by no choice of their own. to them, america is their country. >> remember, alisyn, this daca class of people we've been talking about has been a political football ever since dick did your bin, senator did your bin, decrcreated the daca in 2004. then during the hillary clinton
4:52 am
campaign the so-called dreamers were out there, campaigning for hillary, coordinated get out the vote campaign. democratic parties have had routine opportunities to come forward and craft balanced, meaningful compromises that would have actually given the public and the republican base confidence going forward but they haven't done that. what president obama did was, by his own admission, alisyn, routinely was illegal, unconstitutional. he said it over and over again. right before the 2012 election he said i'm going to do something i know is illegal because i want to help harry reid out in his political campaign. most of these folks in their 30s, 20s, yes, many came when they were very young. it's an arbitrary amnesty program. the republican base and fncht a.i.r. will not accept any legislative amnesty unless the democrats come forward and meet the administration on donald trump's very specific promises during his campaign to build the
4:53 am
wall, secure our borders. >> what's your response, maria? >> the response is that everything that dan has laid out is incredibly misguided. first of all, the democrats did put forward the dream act in 2010 and it was not passed, thanks to republicans. and if we recall, in 2012 and 2013, there was a bill in congress that -- in the house passed by the senate, including republicans, that was comprehensive immigration reform that then house speaker john boehner, republican house speaker john boehner, decided not to put up for a vote because he refused to have a bill that would be passed by the majority of democrats and some republicans, essentially everybody who understood that the solution to all of this so that these kids would no longer be a political football for either party, was to pass comprehensive immigration
4:54 am
reform. and yet again, republicans refused to do it. which is why president obama was forced to introduce daca so at least these kids who are the epitome of the american dream, who are sum cum laudes, who have bled and died in our military, have a way to be able to stay here and continue to contribute to society. >> okay. dan, let's talk about that. i understand all the political finger pointing and that you're asking for a legislative fix. makes sense. however in the real world scenario, what happens to these 800,000? these kids are some of the best and the brightest. they do want to do right by america. they are going to schools. go ahead. >> the bottom line is some of them are doing very well, some of them are not. some of them have gotten in trouble with the criminal justice system and some americans have lost loved ones because daca beneficiaries have committed crime. >> why deport all 800,000? >> donald trump made a very
4:55 am
explicit campaign commitment and promise he was going to end illegal, unconstitutional actions of president obama. he has to make good on that marker. this was a major campaign promise. let's look at this now. eight days ago, chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, we're not going to have any kind of deal with president trump in exchange for daca amnesty where we're going to give him anything that he wants. now what kind of reasonable compromise position is that? democrats have taken this position not historically consistent with the democratic party that they will oppose all u.s. interior immigration law enforcement, they don't want anybody to be remove order deported. donald trump needs to stop daca, let the work documents expire. if the democrats want to come forward and start acting like grown-ups and talk about a serious, meaningful legislative compromise to try to fix everything that's wrong with the immigration system, i'm sure donald trump and f.a.i.r. will be on board. we're not going to support any kind of stand-alone amnesty bill
4:56 am
for this particular class arbitrarily defined. >> it's laughable that dan would put out all those requisites when it has been democrats that put forward comprehensive immigration reform. >> that bill was trash. >> along with the help of some sensible republicans. why? they understand that the majority of americans, alisyn -- not just the majority of democrats, but the majority of republicans as well, the majority of trump voters, 75% of trump voters, alisyn, agree that these kids, the daca dreamers, should be able to stay here in this country and be able to live out their lives in the place that they call home. so, again, dan is talking about a very narrow and narrow-minded group of people that have been pushing president trump to the most harsh, the most right wing, the most -- >> oh, give me a break. >> -- conservative places where
4:57 am
immigration stands. >> that's ridiculous. >> no, it's not true. >> cornerstone of citizenship -- >> let me finish. i haven't finished. >> go ahead. >> the majority of americans degree this is something we should do. it's who we are as americans. it meets our american values. so, president trump is now ending this with six months of a timeframe to do what? so, dan, are you saying that in six months if republicans and democrats come up with a legislative solution that he'll support it? that's what president trump is suppose lid going to announce. >> if democrats come forward with something that sounds like helping donald trump fulfill his campaign promises, that's called the art of the deal, acting like a grown-up. >> i'm sorry. >> it would be great to see democrats act like grown-ups and realize that the american people want immigration brought under control. >> the majority of americans support the dream act.
4:58 am
>> not in isolation. >> yes, they do. >> they want donald trump to carry out his campaign promises. >> so there is a bipartisan bill today. >> hold on. >> there is a -- but there is a bipartisan bill today, alisyn, that can be passed tomorrow if republicans come to their senses and understand that they have the obligation to do what most americans want. >> never going to happen. >> dan, you had the first word and you got the last. >> thank you, alisyn. >> we'll see what congress does. we're following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day." it's monday, 8:00 in the east. chris is off. my old friend, dave briggs, joins me. >> it's been a long time. >> yes, it has, but you are still watching cnn. yesterday north korea

detonated a sixth test, described as the most powerful one yet. in just two hours, u.n. security council will convene an emergency meeting as many nations push for stronger sanctions against north korea. >> the u.s. is warning north korea of a massive military response. while president trump is blasting south korea for, quote, appeasement. president trump is expected to end a program that protects dreamers from being deported, pitting the president against many in his own party. let's begin with cnn's bill ripley, just in north korea, where he has been more than a dozen times. live in tokyo with the breaking news. good morning, will. >> when we arrived in north korea last week, officials said they were furious with the united states over everything from president trump's fire and fury threats to joint military drill to south korea. they've expressed their fury by launching multiple missiles and
5:00 am
with their largest nuclear tests ever. but there are indications this morning they may not be done. south korea says they have intelligence, observing activity right now that indicates north korea may be preparing to launch yet another ballistic missile. this could be everything from a submarine launch, intermediate range missile like the one they launched over japan last week or it could be an intercontinental ballistic missile like the two they tested in july. only this time south korea believes they will attempt to launch this missile toward the pacific ocean. they don't say where or know where. north korea has hinted at firing missiles in the u.s. territory of guam and they may be doing this by saturday, a major holiday, foundation day holiday in north korea. holidays are a time they like to show force. they conducted their fifth nuclear test. they've done their sixth nuclear test this year but may follow it up now with yet launching another missile,
