test. the u.n. security council is holding an emergency meeting at this hour to discuss the crisis. >> north korea claims sunday's nuclear test brings it one step closer to attack being the u.s. mainland. ben tracy is in seoul where millions live in range of north korea's artillery. ben, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the south korea's defense ministry says it's closely monitoring what it believes could be another potential north korean missile launch. this could coincide with a major holiday that takes place in north korea next week. in the meantime, the south has responded to north korea's six nuclear tests quickly and fiercely. south korea brought out its military might, launch ing missiles in a dramatic show of force designed to simulate an attack on north korea's nuclear facilities. it happened just hours after north korean state television triumphantly announced that kim jong-un's regime tested a hydrogen bomb, something it called a perfect success. the blast at north korea's main

nuclear test site created a manmade earthquake felt in china and russia. scientists believe it was potentially ten times more powerful than north korea's last nuclear test and at least five times the explosive power the bombs the united states dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki at the end of world war ii. >> it is a qualitatively different test. jonathan pollack is an expert on north korea's weapons program. >> it is not only a much more powerful weapon, but it might also be something that is much more miniaturized, in other words so that it would, in theory at least, be able to fit on the warhead of a long-range missile. >> reporter: just before the nuclear test, north korea released these pictures of kim jong-uninspecting what the north claims is a miniaturized hid gynebomb. the regime says it can be placed on an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the united states. north korea successful tested two bliicbms in july.

>> this is the highest priority for kim jong-un. he is wrapped up in this to an extraordinary extent, far beyond what i would have imagined he would have done a year or two ago. >> reporter: south korea has also announced that it will allow the u.s. to install far more t.h.a.a.d. rocket launchers in south korea. major garrett, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the sense that both nations are on a collision source is quite simply unmistakesable. north korea keeps moving toward a weapon capable of reaching the united states. in a statement released here at the white house yesterday, president trump said all assets are at his disposal, including the vast u.s. nuclear arsenal. north korea's successful test of an alleged hydrogen bomb far more powerful than the atomic

bombs at the dawn of nuclear age brought a certain warning from defense secretary james mat its. >> 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. >> mattis spoke after an emergency national security meeting at the white house and outlined every military option. >> we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. >> reporter: before the meeting president trump attended the church for the national day of prayer for hurricane harvey and was asked if it he would attack north korea. >> will you attack north korea? >> we'll see. >> reporter: south carolina republican lindsey graham described the conflict to come if economic pressure or diplomacy fails. >> i'm assuming we drop one file, he fires at south korea and maybe japan. let me tell you how the war ends. it ends with his utter destruction. thousands of people could be killed or maimed.

>> reporter: mr. trump said north korean dictator kim jong-un has become a great threat and embarrassment to china. he added, south korea's talk of appeasement will not work. >> this behavior is completely unacceptable. >> reporter: the administration is, for the time being, promising to intensify economic pressure. the white house is also considering punishing those who trade with north korea. >> anybody that wants to do trade or business with them to would be prevented from doing trade or business with us. >> reporter: the next level of u.s. sanctions could focus on large state-owned banks or businesses in china that deal frequently with north korea and the threat of kwcutting off u.s trade with china over the dispute with north korea could affect both nations. jeff, last year, more than $1 trillion in trade between the u.s. and china. >> major garrett, thank you. cbs national contributor michael morrell, former acting director of the cia, joins us this morning. >> good morning.

>> first of all, do you believe it was a hydrogen bomb, and if it is, should we be surprised? >> jeff, this was about ten times stronger than the previous test. hydrogen bombs are typically ten to 100 times stronger than an atomic bomb, so it's at the lower end. our intelligence community will be able to determine whether it was a hydrogen bomb. probably too early to say with certainty. >> would you be surprised if it is? >> no, jeff. not at all. the u.s. intelligence community has been all over this program for the last 25 years. u.s. intelligence community discovered it in the early 1990s. we've been know cussed on it since. we've predicted accurately how it would evolve and why kim jong-un wanted to do this. so there isn't anything that we've seen in the last, i'd say, five years that has been a surprise. it's all been predictable.

>> we saw south korea with a show of force right after. now there is word from south korea that north korea may have an icbm launch planned as well. how concerning is this escalation of tension in the region right now? >> dana, one of the things to remember is that most wars don't start with intent. most wars start because people stumble into them. mistakes are made. it's the way world war i started. so rising tension of the kind we've seen in the korean peninsula in the last six months is deeply concerning from that respect. >> mike, we heard defense secretary mattis talking about military options. president trump tweeted about economic consequences for countries that trade with north korea and suggested that south korea is appeasing the north. is that a right approach? >> vlad, i think that the best approach here is the right words and the right actions. the right words are sober, right?

it's keeping all options open. it's that we will defend our allies at all costs. we will protect ourselves. this is exactly what jim mattis said. those are the right words. we shouldn't be threatening the north. in terms of action, we should be ramping up the sanctions. we should be building our missile defense, and that of south korea and japan, and we should make that known. we should conduct more missile defense tests. that's what we should be doing right now. >> michael, if the approach has been sober for years and years and they've continued this lurch toward the nuclear weapon, what prevents them from getting it? are you to just assume that it's going to happen? >> jeff, i think at the end of the day we face two choices. one is a military attack with devastating consequences and no guarantee of success. and the other is acceptance of where they are and where they're going with containment and deterrence. i think the latter makes the most sense. i think that's where we'll end up. >> michael morell, thank you very much as always, sir. >> you're welcome.

president trump is expected to announce tomorrow he's ending the so-called daca program. that's the obama program that protects nearly 800,000 immigrants who came to the u.s. illegally as children. gop leaders are now pressuring him to keep the policy while they work on a new plan. house speaker paul ryan said it was congress's responsibility to set immigration law. arizona senator jeff flake spoke out yesterday. >> there are 800,000 daca kids, kids brought across the border. the median age is 6 years old for the 800,000 when they came across the border. they should not be punished for the sins of their parents. >> attorney general jeff sessions has called for a hard clean break and wants to use daca as a bargain chip when congress returns. some parts of houston could face more flooding ten days after harvey first made landfall.

debris from the storm lines streets throughout the city. at least 46 people are confirmed dead. about 6,800 homes were destroyed and nearly 87,000 damaged. texas governor greg abbott says the financial cost of harvey could be up to $180 billion. mandatory evacuation orders are in place for people who live near two swollen reservoirs in south houston. michelle miller is along the barker reservoir. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this commercial park isn't under water from last week's hurricane. it is the direct result of the release of water from two reservoirs about a half-mile away. most of houston is dried out, and this release ensured that, officials say. but water isn't the only hazard wreaking havoc. more than one week after harvey made its u.s. landfall, communities across houston and east texas are racing to get a handle on the storm's devastation. national guardsmen airlifted in

bottled water to beaumont where flooding overwhelmed the city's pumping station, knocking out running water for days. in crosby, evacuated residents surrounding the arkema chemical plant were allowed home after officials successful ignited six trailers burning off any remaining flackable chemicals. evacuations are still being ordered in houston. about 300 people were forced from their homes in western stretches of that city on sunday. >> the police came, knocked on my door, and said you have ten minutes to get out. and there was a canoe waiting. sylvester turner says the evacuations were necessary to ensure the safety of first responders. on sunday's "face the thnation, he says flooding wasn't the only cause. >> they're flooding not only from the rainfall but from the release of the water from the reservoir. >> it just rained too cotton-pickin' hard.

>> reporter: richard long is with the u.s. army corp of engineers. he says intentionally releasing water from the reservoirs avoided a much larger catastrophe. >> a project is built to handle a certain size event. if you get an event bigger than that, something's got to give. we had to make these releases to ensure the integrity of our project. >> when you look out and see all of these homes flooded, these businesses. your office. what do you feel? >> it hurts. it truly does. these are my friends and neighbors. >> reporter: long says that his team should be reducing the flow of those releases very soon. but, those releases will continue, he says, through november. >> thank you very much. meteorologist jeff jamison from our cbs station ktvt is following a new tropical threat that could impact the u.s. jeff, good morning. >> good morning. hurricane irma is strengthening in the atlantic this morning. we are looking at a category 3 storm moving west towards some of the islands in the caribbean,

including puerto rico, hispaniola, cuba, the bahamas are also in the path of this storm. that's through day five. beyond day five i think the southeastern united states really needs to take this storm seriously. but there is a wide range of where irma can make landfall, anywhere from the central gulf coast all the way up toward the mid-atlantic. looking at the weather out west, we've had those dangerous wildfires near los angeles. the weather is cooling down, thankfully, in california. yesterday in l.a., temperatures were in the upper 90s. but now we are looking at a high of 86 for today, and by tomorrow, temperatures will be cooling down into the lower 80s. >> jeff, thank you. that cooler weather is good news for the more than 1,000 firefighters battling the largest fire in los angeles city history. it is 1 of at least 74 wildfires burning across the west. jamie yuccas is at a destroyed home in los angeles. jamie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the mandatory evacuations have been lifted and the 210 freeway is back open.

but look at this -- this is 1 of 3 homes that was destroyed in this fire. firefighters say this is a reminder as to why people need to take extra precautions with the fire only 30% contained. even with temperatures dropping and the weather beginning to cooperate with emergency crews, the largest wildfire in los angeles city history continues to grow. >> visually you can see we've turned the corner, but it's not over. with winds this strong, anything can still happen. >> reporter: over the weekend, the la tuna fire advanced, destroying at least three homes including linda's. >> within 15 minutes the house was overtaken. there's nothing standing. no walls. everything is just ash. >> reporter: craig's family home burned to the ground. he was able to save his father, saving him by carrying him in his wheelchair. >> we left things we had packed up because we thought we had a minute. we had 90 seconds.

>> reporter: temperatures over the last few days have approached, and broken, the 100-degree mark, leaving people living near the fire lines scrambling to save their homes any way they can. >> you never know when it's out. it will look like it's out and it could flare up at any second. so it's not over until it is really over. >> we can handle everything. we have to. we don't have an option. we cannot fail. so we are continually planning, preparing, and training. >> reporter: the extreme heat is over. the high temperatures today will be in the low to mid 80s. firefighters hope that helps them get a handle on this more than 7,000-now-acre brush fire. but we have see some hotspots pop up. the concern is that wind could pick up and carry fire to the new spots. >> the wratwrath of mother natuk you. salt lake city police chief apologizes to a nurse. the confrontation on caught on video. she says a detective tried to force her to break the law.

>> i have one job and that's to keep patients safe. every communication is in the act of trying to protect those who can't protect themselves. >> ahead, the attempted arrest that puts the detective under a criminal investigation. but first it is 7:18 and tim another smoky day today. temperatures are cooling off a bit. dropping down to normal along the bay and the coats. we do have a slight chance of thunderstorms. look at what is happening to the south of us. we are watching to see if this is going to bring us some range. 80s along the bay and 70s by the coast. relief that makes pain a distant memory.

>> military tact with devastating consequences and the other is acceptance with containment. this commercial park isn't underwater from last week's hurricane. it's a direct result of the release of water from two reservoirs about a half mile away. one of three homes that was destroyed in this fire, and firefighters say it's a reminder as to why people need to take extra precautions with the fire only 30% contained. the news broke in a surprise announcement from kensington palace. we're looking at royal flush. fakes it. spikes and touchdown! what a comeback! >> ucla is going to walk out of here with a victory after being down by 34 points. >> it's a classic.

happy labor day to both of you. charlie, gayle, and nora are off. defense secretary said north korea had better not threaten the u.s. or allies with the nuclear weapons. mattis said after a national security meeting with president trump there would be a massive military response both effective and overwhelming. this morning south korea's defense ministry say the north is preparing for a future intercontinental ballistic launch. the u.n. security council is discussing the crisis this morning. it follows north korea's latest nuclear test on sunday. the country claims it tested a hydrogen bomb that worked perfectly. we're in seoul where military drills were conducted overnight. >> reporter: good morning. it was north korea's sixth nuclear test. it seems to mark a major advancement for the weapons program for the rogue nation. south korea responded this

morning with a drill designed to simulate an attack on north korea's nuclear facility. the south korean military said the exercise involving jets and missiles was meant to strongly worn pyongyang. kim jong-un has accelerated the nuclear program. before news of sunday's nuclear test, north korea state media released pictures showing kim jong-un inspecting a bomb that could fit on an icbm. north korea tested two icbms capable for reaching the united states for the first time. it's not known if the technology has a technology for a warhead that would survive a pressure reentry into the atmosphere. south korea announced it will allow the u.s. to install four more thad rocket launchers. >> thank you. u.s. intelligence officials say there's high confidence that

north korea tested an advanced design weapon. and the signs suggest it could be a hydrogen bomb. h-bombs are stronger than the atomic bombs the u.s. dropped on japan at the end of world war ii. those weapons rely on nuclear atoms. hydrogen bombs are more advanced. they use a second step called nuclear fusion. it creates a more powerful explosion. the energy from hydrogen bombs can create a fire ball as hot as the center of the sun. when a reporter asked president trump if he would attack north korea, the president said "we'll see." mr. trump tweeted yesterday north korea's words and actions continue to be hostile and dangerous to the united states. defense secretary james mattis sent his own message after a national security meeting a the white house. >> we're not looking to the total annihilation of country, namely north korea. but as i said, we have many

options to do so. >> usa today washington bureau chief susan page is with us from washington. >> good morning. >> defense secretary mattis talked about multiple military options. the president tweeted about economic consequences. what do you make of that? >> i think it was interesting that the comment in front of the white house, as you saw, from the defense secretary from the chairman of the joint chiefs talking about a military threat. didn't come from the secretary of state. and you have the sense that while what the administration is saying on military options is the same as what previous administrations have said, which is all options are on the table. you have the sense that military anxiouses are more -- higher prospect now than we've ever seen. >> susan, congress is returning this week with a lot try to try to work around here. debt ceiling, tax reform policy, potentially north korea. there's the news now that president trump is looking to potentially end the daca program for undocumented immigrants, the

children. what happens with -- daca now? >> the president is going to rescind daca those are the reports out of the white house on some sort of a time table. that will create a fire storm. we know that while the president's base supports the idea of ending this program and it's something he promised to do over and over again during the campaign, that americans, two-thirds, in some polls, three-fourths don't want the young people at the risk of deportation. this is going to create some big challenges for the congress, on whether they can act. they've debated it before. and, also, what it's going to mean for republicans in next year's midterm elections. we've got the example of california pete wilson in the 1990s took action seen as very -- illegal immigrants and the republican party in california has been paying the price since. >> we have congress back in

session next week, and this idea of the debt ceiling being tied to harvey. we know they have to get to the harvey relief right away. what do you make of this? >> i think in this way the terrible tragedy of the hurricane, hurricane harvey gives congress a way to get a debt ceiling lifted that is helpful to them. it's usually the a subject of a lot political debate. republicans reluctant to raise the debt ceiling. everybody is in favor of providing relief to the hurricane victims. in a way, it might be a little helpful legislatively to get that done. also need to get funding the government done. there are a couple of things congress must do in the month of september. >> could it be helpful we finally see some bipartisan work there in congress? >> you know, i think that's possible. i think that would be something a big relief to americans. i think a lot of us watch the scenes out of houston. we're really -- they were heart wrenching because of the devastation but heart warming because you saw people workings together. you saw the local government seeming to do a pretty good job in getting things under control

there. >> do you have any sense that tax reform goes anywhere this fall? >> i think tax reform is one of the high priorities that keeps getting lower on the list. it's below north korea, below hurricane relief. if daca is rescinded it's below trying to do something about these young people who came here illegally -- brought here illegally as children. i think tax reform is a big one. i think it gets harder and harder to see how it's done. >> the president still believe that mexico is going to pay for the wall, susan? it will be a discussion that congress will take on. >> the president continues to say that. but from his conversation we heard about the recording transcript that was released of his conversation with the mexican president. president thinks it's a en the realistic possibility. >> all right. >> susan paige, thank you very much. >> thank you. texas governor greg abbott said damage from harvey could cost up to $180 billion.
