test by north korea. it doesn't seem to be over yet. the south korean military is now saying that it is seeing indications that north korea may be preparing for yet another missile test. >> the u.s. allied responded with a show of force firing missiles in a rehearsal on north korea's nuclear facilities, but all eyes now are on president trump to see if he will respond with an american show of force or more. so far, giving no hints. >> mr. president, will you attack north korea? >> we'll see. >> reporter: president trump last month spelled out how far the u.s. will go. >> they will be met with fire and fury. >> defense secretary mattis now isn't going that far, but almost. >> we are not looking to the total anilelation of a country

options to do so. >> on sunday north korea state media announced kim jong-un successfully oversaw the detonation of a two-stage thermo nuclear bomb, a peanut shaped city buster many times more powerful than the bombs dropped the u.s. dropped on hiroshima and 2345ga sack ka in world war ii. in a series of tweets president trump condemned the tests and said he's considering one possible response, cutting off trade to all nations with economic ties to north korea, but that would include china with devastating economic effects for both countries. mattis warned north korea if it follows its latest test with threatening actions, the u.s. would not hesitate. >> 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

>> sunday's was the sixth nuclear test from north korea, but the u.s. is taking this one far more seriously for a simple reason. north korea claims its latest bomb was small enough to fit on an intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the united states. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence is still analyze egg the latest nuclear test, but initial indications are that the bomb was what north korea says it was and its missile technology has been getting more sophisticated, more reliable and its ranges have been getting longer with each wurch these tests. >> thank you. let's bring in nbc news national security analyst jeremy bash. jeremy, good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> 13th ballistic missile tests this sure there are is the first nuclear set of e test since last september, i believe. as someone who's been at the pentagon and the cia, how does this change the

because at the beginning of this year we were looking to see if north korea could do three things. run is flight test an intercontinental ballistic missile that could reach the united states. they did that twice in july. second, we were looking to see if they would conduct a sixth underground nuclear test, they did that on sunday. and third, whether they could claim they have miniature rised that nuclear device and put it on top of that missile. we have not verified that claim but if they can do that teas a significant escalation. >> i want to ask you about secretary of defense mattis. he said that any threat, not just an attack to the u.s. or its allies would be met with a massive military response. what constitutes a threat? if you're sitting in pyongyang, where's the red line? >> in effect, remember the old line in the sand? they have drown u drawn a line in the ocean. they said if any missile threatens our territory in yaum area japan, the united states, they're going to take action. one is could to watch the launch a

yisk because it puts a lot of faith in our missile defense systems. the other option would be to strike any icbm that we see being stamped on a launchpad. south korea said last night they believe a launch could happen on september 9th, five days from now. that could be a potential for military action by the united states. >> jeremy, president trump has repeatedly urged china do more to restrain north korea. we don't even know if president xi ging pin has met him. have we overstated his ability to do more with north korea? >> our operating thesis has been that china has a lot of influence in north korea, but as you stated, that's unknown the extent to which north korea would bow to the wishsz of china. but at this point, craig, i'm not sure we have many other options other than to skull at countries in the region for maximum pressure on north korea. >> jeremy, thank you. another major story out of white house this morning. president trump reach being a d

lot of forecast is going to change. let's break down what we know right now. here's the storm with a very defined eye. it's eye category three hurricane at this time. a major hurricane with winds up to 115 miles an hour. it is all ready looking like we have hurricane watches in effect for saint kits, barts of bar buddha. we are looking at this to continue to move to the west and pass just north of puerto rico, strengthening up to a category four with winds up to 140 miles an hour. this is the part of the forecast where there's going to be a lot of consideration because whether it goes north or south all depends on this area of high pressure. this is going to be the steering current. you can see because of this huge high, the storm itself is being pushed farther to the south. now, how far to the south it gets pushed is still the big question. i want to point out that parts of the southeastern united states, most of the florida, even including the western side of florida, you want to make your plans now. hopefully you don't have to use

plans zbluft case this storm continues on this trend because it's a very powerful storm, there's a lot of question marks on that part of the forecast. but if you have a plan in place, can entact as soon as you need to and hopefully you don't have to. >> the nation weather service said it was going to be a more an average hurricane season. well, now to the wildfires burning out kweft west. a brief down power and cooler temperatures provided much-needed relief for crews battling the fires in los angeles. the la tuna fire has burned more than 7,000 acres. all mandatory evacuations have now been listed. meantime in montana, that fire has burned more than 32,000 acres. more homes were evac waited over the weekend. they're knocking down brush to limit fuel to the fire. and all theheim hikers in oregon are safe back at home this morning. officials had ordered them to

out to detective payne for comment but he did not respond. alex wubbels is here. she's with us along with her attorney, kara porter. good morning to both of you guys. >> good morning. >> let me start with you, alex. the detective and another officer, they're on paid administrative leave right now. is that enough for you? >> i can't say that, i'm not chief payne -- i'm not even chief brown. but i'm not here to police the police. the police need to do that. if they're going to regain any kind of trust by me or i think the public. >> i want to ask you about this video. when we listen to it smiepz it's hard to watch there was one point where you said i've done nothing wrong, this is crazy. and clearly so many people frankly agree with you, thousands. there's a petition with hundreds of thousands of signatures in support. what's your reaction been to the outpouring of the support that you've received? >> at first it was maybe

gratitude i had and for the support by my colleagues as nur nurses around the country and the world and just healthcare providers in general has been amazing. and then just society, i think this resinates with people all over and that's a really unfortunate problem that we have that we have to fix. and i strongly believe that with effective communication and better dialogue between our two agencies that we can potentially make this better. >> if the video had not been made public, do you think that anyone would have been held accountable? >> that's hard to say. you know, i can't predict that, but i release today because i felt very strongly that there needed to be accountability. >> this happened back on july 26th, though. why just release the video last week? >> well, it took me a while to really understand that i was in a traumatic experience and i need that time to give my emotions a chance to rest, if you will. and so that i could come out and

my communication. i also feel pretty strongly that the conversations i've had with the salt lake city police department initially actually were progressive. they wanted to walk down a path of positive change, but i did not have that same response from the university police and the university security. and so it was sort of a little bit of a contributory negligencer to say, all right, this is what you need to see. if you're not willing to see it, then i'll show it to you. >> i think it's the sound frankly when i saw the video for the first time of your scream it was just so again within. how has this impacted you personally and your family? >> well, my husband and my son are the best. i've come home to them and my world changes and everything sort of dissipates and goes away. but i feel a sense of urgency for this conversation. we need to -- we need to make this better. this can't be happening, it should never have happened, and if i have anything to say about it

>> that detective really seemed intent on getting that sample. >> yeah. >> no matter what. why do we think that was -- or do we know? >> i have no idea. i personally didn't think there was any sense of urgency. i would have liked for a chance for him to sort of talk with one of his superiors prior to doing what he did to me. i don't know what -- what his problem was, if you will. >> kara, what do you hope that people learn from all of this? >> couple of things. one of the reasons that alex released this video was because most people that this happens to don't have this kind of evidence, and so i'm hoping that this helps people out there understand that this kind of thing does happen and can happen to anyone. >> are we planning a civil lawsuit? >> it's not off the table, but alex has been very clear that her first

get change to policies and procedures, things like that. so that's what we have focused on at this stage. >> what about you, for, you what do you want to come out of all of this? >> nothing by any means has been off the table and i've never once said that it was off the table. but if we in this country and if i'm going to be able to have effective communication, i feel really strongly that you have to come to the table with the sense of openness and honesty and i would hope the same from the other side. >> all right. alex wubbels, kara porter, big thanks to both of. >> you thank you. >> let's go over to dylan for another check of the weather. good morning. we are going to see a chance of stronger storms today back through the great lakes. there's a cold front moving through, fairly clear right now besides a couple of sfot spotty showers but there's a risk especially through northern indiana and parts of the northwestern ohio and even east central illinois, that's where we could see large hail,

to your point into the rest of the month. what's great about grills is that a lot your favorite retailers are looking to push out summer inventory like grills to make room for winter inventory like snow blowers and space heaters. if you go to home depot you're going to find $50 off weber spirit grills, you go to lowe's you'll find that as well. >> out door furniture now he's the time? >> now's the time if you wore out your furniture this past summer, again the similar rule of thumb is that a lot of retailers need to pull in things for the winter, so that means they need to discount and take advantage of the out door furniture like way fare up to 70% off. >> 70% off. >> and even places like overstock also offering 70% off on patio furniture, outdoor rugs and things like that. >> every year when we talk about labor day deals we tack about mattresses but i guess clearly it's because they're so discounted that the time of year. >> it's a thing. three-day weeke

they are -- three-day weekends allow them to think about what they're buying and make their purchases. a lot of the retailers no, i this that they have the time to think about and buy so they discount. but also manufacturers format tress tend to release new models which means that the old models need to get cleared out. >> they're still fine. >> just because they're last season or last year's model doesn't mean they're not going to be just as great quality as you're getting now. check out places like sears they're offering up to 60% off and even kohl's 20% off select mattresses. >> i heard this is the best time to book your next trip, i guess you should look ahead and you can save some money. >> you should. september is known as shoulder season and so you're going to find lots of great deals, and labor day especially. any time after labor day booking things like airfare and even hotels you're going to get great deals. i recommend looking at tuesdays an thursdays to buy these types of airfare tickets and even hotel deals. and then also set up fare alerts because you never dmoe when your route is going
