12:02 pm
domination sometimes reporting in coercion and blackmail. according to the pentagon, china's military modernization targeting penties to degrade core technical advantages. in other words, with goal of demolishing the it military might. beijing set a date aiming to become the world's military power house by 2049, a generation from now. defense officials say that's not all a far-fetched thought. >> china seeks to erode u.s. military advantages and seek to gain and maintain influence. they back these ambitions with significant resourcing which translates into real capabilities. >> shepard: and beijing is making bold moves in every arena. the record indicates china is planning more military bases placing troops in more corners
12:03 pm
of the world. china it reports is expanding their reach as far as the arctic and the pentagon reports could be sending submarines there as a deterrent against nuclear attacks. the pentagon is warning about weapons of the future, including supersonic missiles that travel five times the speed of sound. china is making rapid progress on their space technology, which includes missile intercepters, lasers and robots. with that as the backdrop, lucas tomlinson is reporting live from the pentagon. lucas? >> democratic frontrunner joe biden down played the threat from china. i asked a senior pentagon official to respond. >> former vice president joe biden says china is not a competitor of the united states. what is your response? >> i'll stick with the language in our national defense strategy which identifies china as a strategic competitor. >> last week, china marked 70
12:04 pm
years of its navy. the pentagon says their forces can increasingly project power including with new ballistic missile submarines carrying nuclear missiles under the arctic. their growing stockpile is one of the reasons that the u.s. called russia to see if vladimir putin can get china to enter into a three-party arms agreement. >> i think we're going to start up with russia and ourselves and china will be added down the road. we'll be talking about nonproliferation, we'll be talking about a nuclear deal of some kind. >> the pentagon says that china will likely launch their first aircraft carrier made in china and could field their first fifth generation fighter jet, shep. >> shepard: what are pentagon officials saying is china's most advanced point?
12:05 pm
>> i asked them the same question. >> they've made progress in a number of various, i would say -- their power projection through cruise and ballistic missiles is an area they made tremendous progress. they invested a lot in cyber, space, ai. a very aggressive modernization effort. >> china's now likely the third country outside the u.s. and russia to have a nuclear triad capable of launching nuclear missiles from the land, area and sea, shep. >> shepard: lucas tomlinson live. gordon chang now, author of "north korea takes on the world". gordon? >> the pentagon is concerned. you go back a few years a lot of happy talk in this china military power report that comes out. now it's much more detailed, much longer. an indication that we're starting to come to grips with this. shep, we've got to understand, of course they want a bigger military. the issue is how you get there.
12:06 pm
you highlighted that by saying they're stealing technology. this is the core of the competition of the u.s. and china. >> shepard: and that's how they have made the vast majority of their advances? >> and they're far ahead of the united states in some critical technologies. >> shepard: like what? >> shooting down satellites. the u.s. does not have a deployed weapon that can shoot down a satellite. china does. we have the capability to do it. we have the technology. but because political considerations from the white house, the pentagon didn't make much progress in the last decade. that's a problem. of course, we were in the intermediate nuclear forces agreement which means we couldn't have cruise missiles. china does have if missiles. we have to race to build them. >> what is your take, some context on these supersonic missiles that have described in this report? >> the hypersonic glide missiles
12:07 pm
that can deliver nukes. china has more tests of them than we do have. they're probably ahead. russia is making a lot of progress. you mentioned about president trump wanting discussions with both moscow and beijing over arms control. you can't have arms control with just russia if china isn't in the room because china's nuclear force is probably big enough so that they're a factor. that means if you're going to have discussions, you have to have china there. >> shepard: what is china's first goal? >> china's first goal -- that's a lot of disagreement over that. really smart people say it's too intimidate. make sure that countries in the region and the u.s. don't challenge china in the south china sea, east china sea and taiwan. we've seen chinese military go deep into indian controlled territory. that means it's more than intimidation. they probably plan to use this
12:08 pm
someplace. >> and regarding the south china sea, if china establishes what many experts expect dominance, what happens with the relationship with taiwan and otherwise and how does that affect us? >> it affect us because taiwan is the cork in the bottle. they keep china bottled up. that's important for us. more than a century, we defined our western defense perimeter not all of california or guam but off the coast of east asia. taiwan is critical to our defense. >> thanks, gordon. >> potus and putin had a call today. the first call between trump and putin since the release of redacted mueller report. the president talked about that around warnings from the white house about russian meddling in american affairs and attacking american democracy. was that in the call? john roberts reporting live on
12:09 pm
the north lawn. john? >> shep, good afternoon to you. in the oval office, with the slovakian prime minister, president trump was asked if he would like to see mueller testify. the president had a short answer to that. he said that really is up to the attorney general. the president had a longer answer when he was asked if he would claim executive privilege to prevent don mcgahn, the former white house counsel that testified with robert mueller for more than 30 hours from appearing before congress. listen to what the president said. >> that will all be determined over the next week or so. you know, i will say this. there's been no president in history that has given what i have given in terms of looking at just a total witch hunt. >> the president also talked about that hour-long phone call, a little more than an hour with vladimir putin of russia saying the two of them did discuss, didn't say how long, they did discuss the mueller report and the end of the investigation
12:10 pm
into whether or not the trump campaign colluded in russian. he seemed to indicate that vladimir putin was amused by the whole thing. listen here. >> we discussed it and he sort of smiled when he said something to the effect of starting as a mountain and ended up being a mouse. he knew it. >> the president said he did not discuss meddling in the 2020 election. much of the call was spent on the russians and the president talking about the potential of a new nuclear deal to reduce the number of weapons that both the united states and russia have, possibly trying to involve china in the deal. they also talked about north korea and steps that the president believes that russia could be taking to get north korea to denuclearize. they also talked about the importance of getting food, water and medical supplies to people that are really suffering
12:11 pm
in venezuela. no word on whether or not the president and vladimir putin may get together in the coming future for a summit. there is a big opportunity, shep. they will both be in japan at the end of june for the g-20 summit. i would not be surprised if we hear of a bilateral meeting coming up at some point. >> shepard: we'll listen for that thanks, john. have a good weekend. the april jobs report is out and it's a blockbuster. economists say it's packed with good news for all of us, including better paychecks and the lowest unemployment since i was 5 years old. so like 100 years. we'll go through the numbers and what they mean if you're looking for a job or hiring. that's coming up as our reporting continues on this friday. - [narrator] meet the ninja foodi, the pressure cooker that crisps. it's the best of pressure cooking and air frying all in one. with tendercrisp technology, food will be juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside.

got hired. 263,000. understand that the experts, the economists got it wrong. their expectation was up 185,000 jobs gained. you don't have to think about worries about inflation on this. normally when employment markets get tight, you have to worry about wages popping higher, inflation going through the economy. the average hourly earnings came in 3.2%. right in line with expectations. let's take a look at the jobs here. i think it's interesting to see who is getting jobs and who is not getting jobs, this is computer systems design. 76,000 jobs in business services created. construction, 33,000 jobs. in only real losers, retail. you know what is going on in brick and mortar stores. they're having a heck of time staying in business.

the last two days. about an hour ago, we heard gun fire from that area. the trenches are controlled by a gang-like group. they're former military men and police officers that work in this illegal gang-like malitia. we've been told by columbians that they work on behalf of maduro and use violence to suppress anti-government voices. they charge venezuelans a lot of money to illegally cross into columbia. people that want to come. many of them come and stay here for good. according to the people here, they started shooting about an hour ago. for 30 minutes, it was nonstop gun fire. i'm going to let you see and hear what we saw and heard about an hour ago.
12:31 pm
>> people ran, they screamed. there's so many people that we see come through in wheelchairs. people clearly sick and coming here because they have no choice but to come here and get their medicine. they were running, screaming in fear for their lives. that's why you can see the police behind me. this many police have not been here as long as we have. but they're here now because of that shooting. we heard from some people they're that some migrants down in the trenches, that they were injured. perhaps some people died. we have not been able to confirm that. you can see here, a humanitarian crisis. they need food, they need necessities so badly in columbia. shepard? >> ellison barber, fantastic reporting from columbia. steve harrigan the same from inside caracas. comprehensive coverage from fox to continue throughout the day and into the evening. a family from connecticut says that their calm caribbean vacation turned into a nightmare. how did it happen? a hotel worker ended up dead in

12:37 pm
part that ohio republicans and operatives in dc used software to predict outcomes to determine elections. they split hamilton county and cincinnati in a strange curve dividing democratic voters. this stems from the aclu of ohio on behalf of the league of women voters arguing the map is illegal. an appeal is possible to the supreme court, this is the second time that a federal court has struck down a redistricting map created by republican lawmakers. last month, part of michigan's maps were to be ordered redrawn for 2020. two decisions were made by democratic presidents and one was appointed by george h.w. bush.

12:41 pm
hapgood story. the anguillans, they're not releasing much is. that because of laws or customs? >> with any pending investigation, that's typical. i'm not particularly sur priced by that. we will probably get more information once they finish their initial investigation so right now, doesn't seem to be particularly different than any other u.s. investigation, for example. >> shepard: would this end up in a jury trial? >> in anguilla, there's a justice system that is similar to the american justice system. he is entitled to a jury, a lot of safeguards in place as far as criminal due process. he can in fact prevent a defense of self-defense. he can face a jury. with any jury, especially a foreign jury, you'd be concerned about bias because they're not
