here's david martin. >> reporter: the world's most secretive society is make nothing secret of its plans to fire off this rocket and launch a satellite into space. not just north korean media, but foreign reporters as well were taken on a tour of the launch site, shown the satellite, and given a look inside mission control. the launch is expected to take place sometime later this week, despite objections from the u.s. and countries in the region that it violates a ban on the testing of ballistic missile technology. to hear the north koreans tell it, the satellite launch is a peaceful use of space timed to mark the 100th birthday of their country's founding father kim il sung sung. its trajectory is expected to take it due south in order to put the satellite into polar orbit. but u.s. officials say that is just an excuse to test a three-stage rocket that would be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead far enough to reach the hawaiian islands and parts of alaska. the u.s. is sending a giant sea-borne radar to the area along with a half dozen other anti-missile ships. the japanese are deploy

but david martin says that when north korea is involved, even a dud brings fallout. >> reporter: there were public protests in south korea and the philippines and the u.s. canceled 240,000 tons of food gended for the north korean people. ending what had been a tentative thaw in relations. the failed rocket launch also set back north korea's missile program and embarrassed its new leader kim jong-un. but, unlike previous failures, state television actually owned up to it. perhaps because the world's news media had been invited to witness the preparations. jil wit, formerly a state department expert on north korea and now the editor of this web site said that's almost as important as the failure itself. >> the... north korea didn't have to admit it failed. i think that says a lot about the confidence of the regime. >> reporter: u.s. officials feared a confident north korea could go back to tactics like shelling south korean islands. >> we're entering what could be a very dangerous period where if you have north korean provocations and a south korean response it could exschrat. >> reporte

david martin are both not at all happy after they looked at the details of it so with that said how could twenty two e.u. countries signed up why is nothing putting them off. well unquestionably it's agreement but the real problem with access specifically is how it shows that you're opinion it's effectively allowed to do politics without any reference to national populaces so the fact is that this is a piece of you law it's a trade agreement that will. an obligation on european countries to make law in certain ways but it still is in europe it's european or making effectively by proxy and what it shows is that the european union have affectively created institutions and procedures which have prevented these kind of agreements coming under any kind of democratic scrutiny whatsoever that's the real problem with it it's true that countries have signed up to it but no point have national populaces have any say whatsoever in the provisions of this agreement so that's a really troubling aspect of it is the fact that it's fundamentally antidemocratic how important is was the only piece of his re

david martin is at the pentagon. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. army officials still do not know the identity of the soldier who gave these photos to "the los angeles times." it is a violation of orders to either take or possess photos of the dead, so he could be in trouble if he's ever identified. the photos show american paratroopers mugging for the camera over dismembered remains of enemy suicide bombers. the white house called them reprehensible. leon panetta apologized for the soldier's actions which he said were the consequence of a tough and dirty war. >> i know young people sometimes caught up in the moment make some very foolish decisions. i'm not excusing that behave, but neither do i want these images to bring further injury to our people or to our relationship with the afghan people. >> reporter: the pictures, which were taken two years ago, show paratroopers from the 82nd airborne division. many have already been identified and are under investigation. some are currently deployed in afghanistan. a soldier gave the photo to "the los an
