calling for north korea to fully give up its missile and nuclear programs. the same statement from nato this morning. even china. pyongyang's main ally criticizing that test. authorities in japan, russia, and china are monitoring the area for radiation. nothing found just yet, but this is the -- treated as a serious cause for concern. the bigger question is what the international community can and will do in response. clearly, sanctions and world condemnation have not been enough to deter north korea from nuclear test. back to you. >> lucy cavanaugh in london. also new this morning, a massive rescue operation over the french alps has been deemed a success. dozens of tourists, including a so-year-old child, were brought safely to the grountd. they spent a cold can night at 10,000 feet in the air. it's also one of the most climbed mountains in the world and also one of the deadliest.
