patron. ben tracy is in china where the country has a lot at stake. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we actually received this response from the chinese government. they say the information on the korean peninsula is highly sensitive, we hope the countries will be cautious with words and behavior and stop provoking each other. they're worried this could lead to a regional arms race and that appears to already be happening. president moon jae-in is calling for a complete military overhaul. in japan some lawmakers are pushing for new weapons that could launch a preemptive strike. keep in mind china agreed to go along with sanctions on kim jong-un's regime which will be up to china to enforcele. having the united states throw more fuel on this fire may make

7:12 am
allow north korea to develop an icbm weapon. he's not going let it happen. he's going to contain the threat. >> you say when president trump says that there is an issue of how many people might die from a retaliation on south korea. >> yeah. general mattis described it. it would be a horrific war unfortunately. we're headed that way unless north korea stops. put yourself the president trump's shoes. isn't your primary purpose as president of the united states to protect the american homeland from a nuclear weapon attack from a fie lime kguy like kim j? he's going to pick homeland defense over regional stability and he has to. for 30 year this has failed. this not a language problem. this is a north korean regime trying to get the capability to thrike america.

7:14 am
that. that's where war would be likely to occur if they continue to threaten the homeland. i hope diplomacy will work. sanctions haven't worked before. maybe they'll work now. but china should have more than -- we've got two bad options. that is, to let them get a missile to hurt america or go to war to stop them. china has two options. dial with a nut job in your backyard or you're going to have a war in your backyard. and the time for talking is running out. i want to know what south korea and japan think of the miniaturizing of the weapon. i learned from iraq you do another to be cautious. but i do believe president trump will not allow kim jong-un get a missile to hit america and it's a matter of time before that capability exists. i hope we can do it with diplomacy and

fret brennan and van mer duthiers. the secretary of state said this morning he does not see any imminent danger. >> moments ago president trump started tweeting a message that may be directed at noerkt korea. he wrote, quote, my first order as president was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. it is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before. we're still waiting for the rest of that thought, but we'll bring it to you when he tweets it. >> north korea said it's examining plans to make a, quote, enveloping fire around the areas of dwaum. they have two military bases with more than 6,000 troops. the north's statement follows a blunt warning from president trump to leader kim jong-un. >> he has been very threatening beyond a normal state, and as i said, they will be metit
8:03 am
fire, fury, and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. >> secretary of state rex tillerson underlined the president's message. >> i think what the president is doing is sending a strong message to north korea in language kim jong-un will understand because he doesn't seem to understand diplomatic language. i think the president wanted to be clear to the north korean regime that the u.s. will unquestionably defend itself and its allies and i think it was important to deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their part. >> secretary tillerson also said, quote, the americans should sleep well at night. >> it claims north korea can build a nuclear warhe
8:04 am
will fit on a small missile. they have enough materials to build a number of weapons. experts are not sure if the regime has developed a way for a missile to withstand the heat of re-entering the atmosphere or the technology to target a war head accurately. his government claimed it could be carried on a missile. north korea carried out its most recent nuclear test last september. more than 2010,000 people were killed in the united states attack on nagasaki and hiroshima. it took place 72 years ago this week. >> and now as we mentioned a moment ago the president is tweeting about the north korea threat. he just completed his complete thought, second half of it here. he wrote, my first order was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal. it us

powerful than ever before. hopefully we will not have to use this power, but there will never be a time we are not the most powerful nation in the world. james "sandy" winfeld is with us this morning from washington. good morning, admiral. you hear time and again in diplomatic circles that words matter, particularly on issues of this high a consequence how do you understand the president's tweet this morning? >> well, good morning, margaret and charlie and vlad. first of all i'm encouraged that the president is committed like previous presidents before him to modernized nuclear arsenal because it is our ultimate deterrent against any threats including that fromth
8:06 am
it's gone on for quite some time. i'm encouraged he's calmly tweeting out morning he's committed to that. >> secretary tillerson seems to be taking a step back emphasizing again there's a diplomatic way out from this. to you believe the president is directing his statement at china or pyongyang right now? where's the pressure point? >> it's a little hard to tell. i think it's outbursts of sorts. i would counsel being circum sent because after all we're the great power here, not north korea. it doesn't do any good to descend into angry playground rhetoric. i think it's important that we have folks like tillerson and dumford who are staying very calm here and i think tillerson is actively considering a solution to the problem.
8:07 am
wants to use weapons against the united states? >> no, doishlgts, charlie. this is merely a survival mechanism for them. they're running an imposh rushed nation. they even seen what happens when they give up devices. >> so, therefore, can we live with north korea having nuclear weapons? >> i wouldn't go so far as saying we can live with them. but i think we need to let them stew in their own juice, leave them alone. they will never use them nor will they give them up as lon o as we don't provoke them. >> >> it seems you're saying they stew in their own juices and keep the weapons. >> we have twin deterrents. one is to deny
8:08 am
regional and nasal defenses. continue to fortify those. in dags to that that there's more work todefend hawaii. and also if they should be foolish enough to use a nuclear weapon against our allies or us, they will bear a very, very her one. >> you bleil we should have one that defends against an attack by north korea. >> we tested for the very first time our national ballistics system against an intercontinental ballistic missile threat like the one north korea is developing and it performed with flying colors. we also have the thaad missile installed in south korea and guam and the missile we're co-d
8:09 am
yes, i believe they're very good systems. nothing's perfect but they're good systems. >> and they're getting better. >> yes, they are. >> you're saying north korea won't use the weapons but they're not giving them up. i heard they can sell them because they're engaging if proliferations yet. >> it's a very big concern and i think that is why the entire international community needs to make a very strong statement to north korea that not only will you not use these weapons, you will not proliferate them either or there will be very serious consequences. they're very conscious of it. >> do you believe north korea is our concern or other countries? >> the
8:10 am
concerns over russia. compliance has blown up in their face with heavy sanctions. vladimir putin faces re-election next spring. i tend to focus my attention on that particular threat more than north korea, although, we have to take the north korean threat very serious toy be sure. >> all right. admiral winfeld, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. more younger people are dying from colon expert and experts do not

difficult polyp, probably more than that. >> does diet make a difference? >> there is. red meats, people who don't exercise, diabetes, you want to be the right weight. there are things you can do. this in our control in terms of screening. we're looking at an increase in younger people, but if you look at people who are aged 50 to 54, only 44% of those people get screening. after that it goes up to over 60%. so the very first thing you should do, many think should the guidelines go down. the first thing is when you turn 50, do it. >> it's an uncomfortable experience and people are reluctant to do it. >> here's the thing. the prep has gotten

he was involved in the secret negotiations that led to the nuclear deal with iran. 's no nhe's now a visiting lectern. good morning. >> thanks for having me. >> you say north korea is a land of lousy options. where are we going and does the president's language help or hinder? >> what we need right now is steady resolveing calm, and absolutely strong and consistent leadership and the problem with what the president said is it puts all the attention on the united states and what the united states is thinking when the attention should be on north korea and producing pressure to produce a dramatic outcome. it doesn't help when our allies conditional tell whether it's president trump or kim jong-un who's the crazier one. >> you have also said the likelihood of war not nor
8:35 am
korea but iran. >> from my perspective, one of the things not getting attention is the tension between iran and the middle east. just a day or so you've seen a united states drone come with 100 feet of an iranian fight. that doesn't mean norfolk isn't an urgent problem but when you have a country luke the united states that has their presence everywhere and issues to deal with everywhere, you have to look at risks not just on the korean peninsula but in the broader middle east that and we're looking at a deadline. as the president has said in interviews he chooses not to rt
8:36 am
what happens if he says iran's not abiding by the agreement? >> there's a problem. they could continue to wave sanctions and stay in the deal if they want to, but the whole point of decertifying, it seems, is donald trump wants to get out of this deal. i think that's a terrible mistake. if you look at what we're dealing with with north korea, we're running up against the possible to having to use military force to stop north koreans from putting a bomb on top of a missile. iran's nuclear program is in a box. blowing up the nuclear deal at a moment when we're dealing with north korea seems like it is creating a problem that doesn't currently exist. >> and general may it is has said he supposed it even though he finds flaws in it. >> right. >> and even president obama. >> this is the thing about any diploma
8:37 am
anything you want. there's also imperfections, but it is a heck of a lot better situation when we're dealing with iran right now than what is happening in north korea and the last thing we want to do is put iran on a packet where they represent the same kind of threat as north korea does. >> you and i both know people in that administration who would admit bravesly now they missed opportunities with north korea and they allows things to escalate? what's different now? >> you know, it's interesting. many have to approach it with humidity. that's been true going back for 20 years. so i'm sympathetic to the current administration. i think what's different today is that trump has the possibility of getting china's attention in a way that is more direct and decisive than
8:38 am
previously could. >> sanctions deathly on china? secondly, china is worried as. that does give them leverage if we use it effectively not if we pop off with crazy rhetoric. i think we could produce a scenario in which they sit down and get the north koreans to freeze, freeze their testing and freeze the progress and put us in a position where we slow this clock down. i would argue it's time if china to step up. >> they provide t
8:39 am
question ens. >> they should be paying not only for north korean coal but compliance. >> that's a lot of money i would presume. >> it's one thing to be able to put it to use in this is thatlet no previous administration has tried that approach. >> one other thing that's different is looking at saudi arabia is my understanding. they took a position they should be talking to iran and trying to get them together whereas president trump has stepped forward and said we're all behind what saudi arabia is trying to do in isolating iran. >> my view is that over time the only long term solution to all of the chaos in the middle east is if there is some kind of arrangement where saudi arabia and arabia get on the same page. >> is that likely? >> today iran has too much confidence and the saudis have too little confidence, and i do think it's the right strategy to boost saudi confidence to sho
8:40 am
it by showing them we're not going let them get away with things across the nation. but ultimately it has to be pounded toward a diplomatic solution. >> if hillary clinton had been elected president, everybody assumes you would have had one of the principal roles as security adviser o something like that. we ask this question and i'm sure you ask it. why did she lose? >> that's a very difficult question that to this day keeps me up at night. i don't think there is any one reason. i think there's a combination of facto facto factors. frankly if the election had been held one week earlier or later she might have one. there was the issue with comey in russia. there was the chance that the country want drad matic change. >> why didn't you see that or why didn't she see that?
8:41 am
unhappy about that and her husbandings the direction of the campaign speaking to those issues. >> i believe we in the campaign were slow to seeing the sheer breadth and depth and anger. part of that is you had a pretty, president obama, who had actually put the economy pack on a solid track and the 2012 race that masked some of this. so it's fair to say we should have done a better job early in the campaign and seeing what we were up against and dealing with it. but i don't think it was the specific tactics. it was deep structural force and skponch news -- >> speaking of where mark was. >> yeah. that doesn't mean we shouldn't take responsibility. there are things i said i would have done better. a

becoming a guide dog for the blind is really hard. only a few puppies mack the grade. a new study suggests pups with overbearing mothers are less suits for the complexities of the job. this means the most successful dogs raised with tough love. elaine quijano is at the seeing eye dog training center in morristown, new jersey. elaine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now, trainers look for specific traits when they're deciding whether or not a dog can make the cut in programs like this bue.
8:47 am
puppies whose mothers are less attentive are better suited than those moms who doted on their every move. at just over 7 weeks old, these golden retrievers and these chocolate black and yellow labs are already in training as guide dogs for the blind. here they learn to interact with other, adapt to new surroundings, and remain calm under stress, skills that research suggests has to do with how they're raised. mothers whose nurring style who required greater effort produced greater offspring. >> one of the findings is that pups who were perhapsed ov ee e

copiously, those pups were not as likely to be selected as guides. >> reporter: researchers followed 98 puppies from birth to adulthood. watching over 150 video cam. here the more attentive mom is lying down alongside her sleeping pups while this mom talking the tough love approach gives her puppies space to move around. the ability to get around obstacles is a key factor in the success of a seeing eye done. instructor joan markey says fear of the unknown don't make the cut. >> if they're afraid of the world, they're not going to be a good guide. they get worried by loud traffic,

would not be good for the program. >> reporter: experts say they could be well suited to other canine callings. clyde is a dog behavior scientist. >> guide dogs have to be very, very calm as adults where military dogs have to be very alert, very on the ball, very inner jetdic, so different patterns of rearing produce different outcomes in dogs. >> reporter: around 70 p o dogs who enter guide dog training programs leak this one are successful. that number could go up should less aten tev parenting studies be e encouraged by trainers. margaret? >> i'm so jealous, elaine. we'l
