refused the week islamic state leaves behind a booby trapped ghost town after it's driven out of. the we bring you an exclusive report. i said joining us my name is neil harvey watching the weekly here on. tensions on the north korean peninsula ratcheting up and washington looks in no mood to calm the situation with the u.s. defense secretary jim mantis promising a massive military response on north korea should it threaten america. we have many military options and the president wanted to be briefed on each one of them any threat to the united states or territories including. or allies will be met with a massive military response the response both objective and overwhelming the u.s.
5:02 pm
defense secretary made the statement of the president met with his military officials to discuss the situation over the korean peninsula it all comes after north korean state television announced the country had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb other non-sport was made after an earthquake measuring just above six on the rig disco was detected in north korea what is jacqueline bouvier has more on the latest escalation between washington and pyongyang is actually kind of an unexpected and drastic change in tone coming from modest there who is really starting to sound more like trump now he did add that america is not seeking the annihilation of north korea but it's highly unlikely that those comments will be of any comfort to anyone in north korea given how quickly his stance changed from there's always the possibility of a diplomatic solution to we don't want to kill you but we certainly can if need be now these statements are you made even more ominous given comments made by
5:03 pm
president trump before he met with madison the other generals that we were real. earlier on sunday trump did tweet that all options are being considered when it comes to north korea but it is clear that the military option seems to be becoming the favorite for the trumpet ministration meanwhile we have china and russia urging all sides to show restraint but it seems that team trump is going to stick with the aggressive rhetoric that we've seen from the president as of late they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen north korea better get their act together where they're going to be. trouble like you they should stay over the trouble in this world. and this may not get away with what he's doing really and this is really already at plaited pass just a war of words we've already seen america bolster their military presence in the
5:04 pm
region and continue to conduct drills with south korea much to the displeasure of their northern neighbors and trump has gotten a fair amount of backlash for some of his aggressive comments both here at home and abroad but the u.s. state department for their part has defended his comments saying that it's simply the only way to communicate with the north korean leader exacerbating the president spoke to him to kim jong un in a language that secretary tillerson has said and said this morning in the kind of language that kim jong un will understand but clearly america really has no plans of changing their tactics despite the fact that all of their aggressive rhetoric and saying that talking will not work and attacking north korea has only lead to further threats from north korea and more missile tests by washington seems unwilling to change their plan of action pushing the whole world closer to the edge of war experts that we've spoken to believe the u.s. is hostile rhetoric has pushed north korea to move forward with its weapons
5:05 pm
programs. this is a full scale diplomatic crisis and i think our president has now really framed this issue as. i think this is in some ways a war of words we know he's very fond of twitter and saying provocative things our president and our government is not devoting the resources the political will that are needed to find a solution to this problem need to amp up the resources at the state department warm bodies people who understand north korea the culture the language get them working on this issue what the north koreans are trying to do is love cost more to start a war what do they gain from having a war because america's of course the military is the most powerful in the world and they're going to easily destroy the whole of north korea the north koreans want
