today in the bay's tracie potts joins us live from washington, d.c. this morning with a look at reaction to the leader's sudden death. good morning, tracie. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. we got word this morning that north korea fired a short term, short range missile just before hi death was announced. that may have been part of a routine test. the military in south korea has yet to confirm what the news agency is reporting. the 69-year-old leader died of a heart attack while on a train trip on saturday. but the news came out late last

night. an autopsy has been performed, confirming his funeral will be held a week from wednesday. who will now take over? it looks like his son will take over. he is being called on state tv the great successor. it's not been made official. he's young. he's in his 20s. he's the third son. he's been groomed for the position. what about his nuclear program? what about security and stability in the region? president obama on the phone with south korea's president last night assuring him that 20,000 plus u.s. soldiers in the region in south korea will work to secure their stability. national security teams have been in touch. south korea's military is on high alert. laura? 5:47 this morning. a new stage in iraq's history. the last convoy of u.s. troops rumbled out of iraq and across the border into kuwait early
