host: kevin and north carolina -- kevin in north carolina. what you think? -- what do you think? caller: this guy is not stable. everyone who sees the propaganda and how those guys come to power, he really identifies said he is not right in the head. as soon as he gets a capability nuke toh n california, he is going to hold us hostage. it is imperative that we deal with this china hopefully -- it is imperative that we deal with this guy, hopefully, with china and limit his nuclear ambitions. the united states has been kicking this can down the road for years. us, it is taking it on to deal with it. host: what if that's what you think about a major conflict -- what you think of the president saying that there could be a major conflict? and rex tillerson saying, the u.s. is seeking to talk to north korea to resolve this issue? what do you make of those two different styles coming from this white house? caller: i think it is to keep him and maybe china off of them. is come youly does know, we do not know where they are coming from. trump is saying this and tillerson is saying that.

panel of experts on north korea. they've put out this report that says that north korea continues o ill listly ship dual-use items to both syria and i-- and iran. those are two terrorist regimes. i hope that the new administration will move quickly to relist north korea and continue to seek ways to increase pressure on the regime through the sanctions bill that we passed out of here today and other measures and i urge my colleagues to support this important measure and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. all time has expired. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 479, as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative -- >> on that, i request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman requests the yeas and nays. all those in favor of taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise and remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having risen, the ye

korea, north korean trade, north korean internet hacking, all goes through china. but at the same time north korea itself is consistently on the brink of collapse, in terms of at one point they went through a horrible famine that killed maybe 10% of the population. so china can pressure north korea, but it has to face the real possibility that whatever pressure it imposes could cause the regime to collapse. host: which is a follow-up from this tweet from jim. how do they have trade partners? how do you get money by starving people? guest: they make weapons and they're happy to sell those weapons. there is a lot of evidence from international law enforcement that north korean embassies engage in the methamphetamine trade. to export coal and others china and one of the reasons why many of us are worried about the possibility of north korea developing more nuclear capability is we think they will sell nuclear weapons on the international market. they set up a facility in syria until the sbeals bombed it a few years ago. host: it seems like they have western media pres

aid to north korea. people may forget, but there was a time when the united states was actually providing financial and other aid to north korea. there is a brighter future here. this was a sort of classic american expression with more military punch behind it, where military options are on the table, that there is this carrot and stick that i was talking about, and there's a way forward, trying to get the world around it as well. >> michelle kosinski at the state department, this is a major moment for the secretary of state, rex tillerson, again, who seems to be trying to lay out this clear policy. you're seeing these efforts from him for diplomacy, to make clear not just to china, not just to the united nations, but perhaps to the white house itself about where the efforts should be going forward. >> yeah, i think what i heard from this is more clarity. i mean, tillerson has said himself, he's not a guy that's used to dealing with the press, and i think in the interviews that we heard from him, there w

in north korea and the news this hour is that we are hearing north korea with a missile test.t was expected that something may happen on this weekend. this weekend of the 105th anniversary of the founder of north korea kim il-sun. the assessment is that the failed launch was not an icbm. this was not an intercontinental ballistic missile. this was not a missile at least what we're hearing at the moment that was capable of reaching the united states. this question of whether it can hit the

because china is north korea's largest trading partner and because it shielded north korea from harsher sanctions in the past, washington tends to think that china can deliver a deal on north korea. what i think the new administration really needs to focus on is working with china to enforce the sanctions on the books and coming up with a joint strategy for talks. that should include an effort to try and freeze north korea's nuclear and missile programs and put something on the table as a benefit for north korea if it's willing to take those steps. >> when you listen to water cooler talk among my friends and family, here's what scares people. north korea is believed to be developing a long-range missile that can hit the u.s. with kim saying he could test launch one at any time. what is the real timeline for north korea to develop a weapon like this? >> north korea has taken actions over the past years to expand its ballistic missile capabilities but it's still very far from having a missile with a range long enough to target the united states. right now it's unlikely they could even rea

in the north—west, the north coast of scotla nd the north—west, the north coast of scotland and northernn stornoway and other eastern isles, the best of the weather on the eastern coast, the midlands, east anglia and the south east and along the south coast and the english channel coast. 13 degrees in plymouth, single figures in the north. this is tuesday night and into wednesday again it is another chilly night, particularly across the south. high pressure will anchor itself across southern parts of the uk during the course of wednesday, so this is where the best of the weather will be, the brightest weather. in the north breeze is coming off the atlantic with thicker cloud. those temperatures are typically around 12 degrees and very little change on the way for thursday. so, the summary for the week ahead, very little rain with that area of high pressure. not feeling too cold during the day, but the night will be on the chilly side. this is bbc news. the headlines at 8.00pm: a warning from north korea — all—out war and a pre—emptive nuclear strike if they are attacked, a senior officia

north korea is a problem. the problem are be taken care of. >> so, jonathan, what was your reaction when you heard that? >> i don't think it's news. dropping a bomb on a country that we have been bombing regularly going after terrorist groups and taliban fighters, the fact that it's a larger bomb i don't necessarily tie those two things together. now it could be that we're showing the north koreans what we have in terms of our armaments and what we're willing to use. just as they are doing. north korea when they conduct missile tests, part of this is to show this is what we're able to do. we will be able to target bases nearby. we haven't seen evidence of that yet. that's the message they're trying to send when they assassinated kim jong-un's half-brother. a part of that was to show we have vx nerve gas and we're willing to use that. both sides have an interest in showing what they are capable of doing. and with the hope that it actually alleviates the tension and allows people to walk back. >> so, general hur

in north korea that was not the case. north korea that was not the case.ats did not really understand what the position of the west was, what we are trying to achieve, why we were trying to convince them that a new killer north korea was not in their own interests and it made for some very interesting sometimes quite confusing discussions. what is your sense of what the balance was between the ruling family and the other influences in london that country, most obviously the military? that is the ultimate challenge for the international community to try to work out. we have never been totally sure, reliably sure, but that kind of relationship. we want them and we are not now. we don't really know who has a serious influence on kim jong un and, in the way that we didn't understand when i was there who had an influence on kimjong—il and how the decision—making process developed. 0ne and how the decision—making process developed. one thing that always struck me was how ill informed, how little the officials that we seem to talk to understood the dynamics, the

north korea is no exception. as an example in 2013 kazakhstan stopped the trust to mediate to allow to facilitate that -- on our nuclear program which consequently. [inaudible] we are convinced there is no other issues collective commitment to international commitments. cousins kazakhstan believes this is the right time for eliminating the nuclear threat. complete nuclear disarmament and the abandonment of koreans nuclear could be made by troops ensuring political and military stability on the peninsula. close engagement with asia-pacific family will bring dprk significant benefits for choosing a peaceful coexistence. such approach combined with a comprehensive holistic regional strategy will ensure stability for the country and the wider region. we call upon all parties, all relevant stakeholders in all member states to take balance actions we call on all parties concerned to refrain from action that could increase the military exhalation and further tensions in the region. >> i think you for your statement. now

> communication with north korea? >> the channel the u.s. government uses is through the from that mission to the u.n. in new york but it's largely a messaging channel. me that that would be an important issue when you're in a situation when you don't want misunderstandings. that is when wars start. misunderstanding, misperception of each side past moves. >> it could be miscalculation that comes from someplace completely different. we have data that suggests north korea was to target u.s. and south korean elections with provocations and we have an election in south korea may 9. it is possible the north koreans could carry out something nonnuclear directed at south korea that can also spin out of control. miscalculation could come from a variety of different places. >> i appreciate your testimony. we focused great deal on north korea. we did not talk as much about china. graham allison has a new book, destined for war, that i think we need to study. we could have an entire hearing on that. thank you for your testimony.

and north korea back to the table. they sponsored six party talks for a number of years during the bush administration. i think that is probably their preferred venue. and the fact is, four countries there do not really count. the teedo that count are north korea and the u.s., talking to each other. as i said earlier, direct talks have shown north korea willing to completely freeze their nuclear program. it is certainly worth a try. it is a lot better than rattling sabers and making into threats. we're not going to attack north korea because it might set off the second korean war, which would be just catastrophic for the region. amy: bruce cumings, thank you for being with us, university history at the university of chicago. we will link to your piece in the nation "this is what's , really behind north korea's nuclear provocations." and we want to thank christine hong for joining us professor at , university of california santa cruz executive board member of , the korea policy institute. when we come back, we look at a

sanctions against north korea. we also have no doubt the negotiations must at some point form part of the solution. but first it is reasonable to expect north korea to make verifiable progress towards meeting its obligations to denuclearize the korean peninsula. for as long as pyongyang continues to defy this council, the conditions will not be helpful for resuming the six-party talks or negotiations in any other format. while the most pressing threat is north korea's ballistic missile and nuclear ambitions, we must never forget the horrifying abuse the regime meets out to its own people. as documented in the u.n. commission of inquiry in 2014. this council has discussed human rights in north korea on previous occasions, and there should be no reticence about doing so. the u.k. fully supports the work of the u.n. special human rights of north korea. and the office of the high commissioner for human rights. both of whom perform the crucial task of investigating and recording these violations. britain stands alongsid

the people of north korea, the military of north korea should not mistake the resolve of the united states of america to stand with our allies. the alliance between south korea and the united states is iron clad. we will continue to stand strong to achieve our shared objective across this region and across the world of a denuclearized korean peninsula. >> the message on that failed missile launch, once again, deliberately low key. defense secretary jim mattis putting out a brief statement, saying the president and his military team are aware of north korea's most recent unsuccessful missile launch. the president has no further comment. it is not easing concern over pyo pyongyang's work on nuclear missiles. over the weekend they showed off new hardware. we did hear from mike pence very bold words and he also made bold moves, getting very close to the north korea border. >> reporter: that's right, allison. yes, he was at the dmz, demilitarized zone, and he was seen by north korean soldiers. they came out when they realized there was a vip there and started taking photos. the fact that the se

north korea wants a few things. it wa nts to north korea wants a few things.to be taken seriously, it was to be regarded as a nuclear power by the rest of the world. and it wants to be seen, to be seen to be treated with what it sees as respect of the international community. one of the things that i heard repeatedly in my dealings with north korean officials was, why would the americans treat us like pakistan? through the north koreans see as having accepted them as an effective nuclear power. and that is the model. that is the precedent that north koreans have long wanted to follow in terms of the way that the americans treat them. do you think that there could be some concessions on the american side will kim jong—un have let's get more now on north korea's warning to the united states that it's ready to respond to any provocation with "nuclear attacks'”. the country has staged a huge military parade, displaying what appeared to be new intercontinental ballistic missiles. donald trump has sent a naval strike force to the region because of concerns that nort

due to north korea's nuclear missile provocations. vice presidents visit shows the stance of the new administration . as such, i believe that vice president pence's visit is timely and meaningful. kyo-ahn: [speaking foreign language] translator: today, the vice president and i shared the view that through cooperation and collaboration, the u.s. alliance has grown into a indispensable linchpin for a successful strategic alliance that will allow us to resolve global challenges. we have reconfirmed our unwavering will to continue to make our alliance even stronger. hwang: [speaking foreign language] translator: 10 days ago, on april 10, i spoke with president trump about ways to work together going forward. today, with vice president pence, we understand the gravity and urgency of north korea's missile threat. we will double our threats to further tighten the global pressure on north korea. we will thoroughly implement sanctions on the unwavering principle of denying north korea their weapons. foreign[speaking language] translator: furth

but the north korean government, they do not ca re north korean government, they do not care about theizens, theyjust care about the citizens, theyjust care about nuclear weapons and missiles. it is very serious. how much influence does china really have with kim jong—un? two years ago there were sanctions to north korea. but they always failed. the north korean government, they met, and they said they would join america. it did not stop oil being sent to north korea. how careful does the united states have to be in how it deals withjeong does the united states have to be in how it deals with jeong jang? does the united states have to be in how it deals withjeong jang? —— pyongyang? it is not only in north korea and the usa that have the problems. it is asia. the usa, china, japan. it is the world's problem. the usa are looking carefully at the nuclear test. some reaction coming in the following the result of the referendum in turkey, the opposition is disputing it, it says there were irregularities with the vote. the secretary general of the council of europe, and turkey is a member o

north korea is not irrational. it has a rationale that we need to try to understand as we shape our policy. goal is focused on regime survival. everything is filtered through regime survival. we have to take that into account as we think about the program. north koreans look at strikes on syria and talk about regime change. libya takedown of qaddafi. they are focused on regime survival. i want to flesh out briefly why to serious pivot diplomacy as possible. because the north korean breakout would be a game changer or not only for the united states but also for china. that is why diplomacy might work now. china, which has been north abler,s take -- big en applying sanctions lackadaisical ly, they can either continue to be an enabler or help north korea, but the strategic environment changes when north korea reaches that point. japan and south korea may reassess their nuclear status. is it is a point of near term optimization from north korea, which preserves the and for china, it maintains their buffer state. for th

a north korean official at the military parade on saturday told me this special operation in north koreaast week involving commandos jumping out of planes, practicing combat exercises, this official told me that operation was in direct response to president trump's tweets about north korea in regards to the china issue. clearly they're watching. they are trying to get a sense of what the united states is capable of here. i should also note that when you go on the streets and hear unanimous support for the direction that the leadership of this country is taking, you always have to keep in mind when reporting about north korea that it is an authoritarian government where political dissent is not tolerated. on the surface, you ask anybody, and they think their leader kim jong-un is doing the right thing, even as many around the world feel the country is headed to a path of further isolation and even perhaps a more dangerous situation than that if things were to escalate. >> and we do have to point out how limited your access is when you're on the ground there. from my previous trip there, i

high alert, north korea. reporting from seoul, south korea, co-anchor martha raddatz. >> hello, from seoul, south korea. it's evening here in the city of 10 million people. on high alert on a weekend of g the launch pad. u.s. officials believe it was likely a medium-range ballistic missile, the kind we have seen before. still, the latest launch rattled nerves, especially after the sudden appearance saturday of what could be new long-range weapons at north korea's big anniversary parade. canisters that appear large enough to house a missile capable of hitting the united states. you can see them there rolling past north korean leader kim jong-un. green camo on huge transporters. if he, indeed, has a missile big enough to reach the united states, and if he can make a war head small enough to fit on it, will the u.s. be forced to respond? this hour, all the angles on the most important story in the world right now. and the urgent questions. how far along is north korea's nuclear program? are the new missiles we s

of the submarines of north korea and also close to several nuclear sites there in north korea. we have had statements from the defense secretary of the united states fairly straightforward saying that the president and the military team of the united states are aware of north korea's missile launch and saying that president trump will have no further comment. this is all of the reaction based on this test that happened about four hours ago. i do want to go straight to the korean peninsula there in south korea in seoul specifically. janice our correspondent on the ground. what we also understand is that according to a south korean appreciab presidential spokesperson the national security council is convening at the moment about 30 minutes ago. don't know whether it did start on time and whether it finished. what are you hearing about that meeting and that convening and what may come out of it? >> reporter: this is standard operating procedure when there are provocations like this by north korea that south korean officials will gather to assess what it is they know and how can th

they are north korea's only allied. i'm sorry. china. china is north korea's only allied. you know, without china support, they support north korea. they give them 85% of their fuel and food that they could bring about the end of the north korean dictatorship. >> china may push for change but they don't want to destabilize north korea and end north korea and north korea and end up with a low refugee crisis. what can i do here? >> they can threaten to cut off support, but china relies on the united states just as much as north korea relies on china. there are ways that we can pressure china to pressure north korea. if the u.s., for example where to put a tax on chinese imports or make it harder for them to get imports into our country, that would be devastating and they're not going to put their relationship with the u.s. at risk just to please north korea. tribes are degrading relationships with the chinese. a great meeting with the chinese president and i hope to see that -- nicole: at the same time, they do not want the north korean regime to fail because ultimately that

a face-off with north korea. in an exclusive interview with cnn, the vice president, mike pence, he issued a new warning. he was speaking inside the demilitarized zone separating north and south korea, standing just a few feet from north korean soldiers at the time, just a few hours after the north korean regime's failed missile launch. he warned that this white house may not show the restraint of past administrations. >> we're going to abandon the failed policy of strategic patience, but we're going to redouble our efforts to bring diplomatic and economic pressure to bear on north korea. our hope is that we can resolve this issue peacefully. >> our dana bash is traveling with the vice president. she is in seoul in south korea. dana. >> reporter: john, it is always tense when anybody visits the dmz here on the korean peninsula, but especially now, especially when the vice president of the united states goes amid all of this saber rattling. >> he said that the era of patience, strategic patience, is over. what doe

the north koreans have been pushing things like that for a while. north korea pushed back. tension is a important for north korea to explain to its own citizens why they're living and why they can't have unity and united states central to regimes reason to exist. when trump pushes, most of us expect the north koreans to push right back. that's what we're doing. >> we're having sound issues and always good to have you here and just from the side note on that we're covering the door is closed there on the other side. robert, thank you so much for being with us. >> yes, his kids did make him famous. >>> back to the seriousness of this news day. a bombing in afghanistan, military strikes in syria and ramping up threats to north korea. donald trump isn't taking a soft approach on foreign policy. we'll look at all the drastic changes coming up next here. >>> plus, turkey is one day away from a vote that could overhaul its political system. why germany's finance minister is issuing a stark warning. that story ahead as "cnn newsroom" continues. look, she's sweet, she's got natural

in north korea and the news this hour is that we are hearing north korea with a missile test. it was expected that something may happen on this weekend. this weekend of the 105th anniversary of the founder of north korea kim il-sun. the assessment is that the failed launch was not an icbm. this was not an intercontinental ballistic missile. this was not a missile at least what we're hearing at the moment that was capable of reaching the united states. this question of whether it can hit the mainland or hit the lower 48 state, we are hearing that is not the case. we are hearing it did explode on launch or very close thereafter according to what the u.s. military is telling us. the u.s. pacific command also telling us that this launch happening in a very early sunday morning in north korea. it's about 8:30 a.m. on a sunday right now in north korea. that this attempt was made about three hours ago. about three hours ago and we're just getting this information that we can confirm from the u.s. military that a missile launch was attempted. what is happening right now when it comes

i would argue that the north korean regime. they have a very strong will to survive and they do not want to commit suicide. they are aware of the balanced forces that are against them so that's the good news. i believe they can be deterred and we have to have the correct prosper. he was signal the resolve. i think thf represents what i'm calling the complexity, simplicity say that after speaking to the president, you realized that this problem on the peninsula is very flex and i think every actor and region is restrained -- restrained from acting morally. i don't think we have any real violent options, accept in terms of containment, which has been the policy over the past decades. >> when we look at the optics of this trip by the vice president mike pence, he wasn't initially scheduled to go outside, was he? but once he did and he was photographed by some of the north korean sol, jr.s there. once he do that and staired right into north korea, how would that message be received, do you think? >> well, i'm not familiar with the

the north koreans. what are they doing? >> when you look at what the economic, coal in particular, that is north korea's number one export. i think they have taken some very helpful economic actions and exhibited positive signs on the diplomatic front as well. but again, this is something that's an on going conversation, both on the relationship with president xi. the president noted before. we'll have to see. it is encouraging the signs that china is showing. >> the president suggested there was a quid pro quo with china because they were helping or going to help with north korea. if china does not adequately put pressure on north korea, is he gonna go back? >> there's a couple things on that. number one, they haven't been manipulating their currency. that's a fact. number two, i think the president's tweet said clearly to do so at this time would not be prudent. it's not a quid pro quo. it's just saying, in the middle of them taking very positive signs s ts to help us address issue in south korea, to

with each successive detonation and missile test, north korea pushes north—east asia and the world closerstability and broader conflict. the threat of a north korean nuclear attack on seoul or tokyo is real, and it is likely only a matter of time before north korea develops the capability to strike the us mainland. indeed, the dprk has repeatedly claimed it plans to conduct such a strike. given that rhetoric, the united states cannot idly stand by. nor can other members of this council, who are within striking distance from north korea missiles. despite un pressure, north korea has been able to accelerate its weapons programme, and shortly after mr tillerson spoke, it fired another missile, although that test seems to have failed. still, it was an act of defiance, like this massive live—fire exercise last week. only tighter sanctions and greater diplomatic isolation might force north korea to give up its weapons, said the secretary of state, and its powerful chinese neighbour was the key to make that work. but the chinese foreign minister pushed back. translation: mr president, china is n

. >> north korea is the problem. the problem will be taken care of. >> we're an administration wanting to show a message that there's a new sheriff in town. we don't know, you know, whether we're making maximum effort to settle this peacefully or not. >> we will not relent in our mission to destroy isis in 2017. >> we have given them total authorization and that's what they are doing. >> that does send a message around the world that america's back. >> the trump administration says they will not release the names of people who visit the white house. why? what is the big secret? >> we don't want to go and scare people from being able to come into the white house. >> it's total bs. >>> well, you've made it to saturday. i'm christi paul. >> and i'm victor blackwell. north korea is putting the world on notice. for the first time showing off what could be the powerful long-range missiles and as the regime prepares for another nuclear test, tensions are flaring on the peninsula. >> kim jong-un was on hand watching this hug

an april 2015 report found north north korea could have as many as 100 nuclear warheads by 2020. think about that. by the end of this year, we will only have 44 interceptors, total. and then we're going to be launching a few more in the next few years for testing and we're going to have less than 44. that math doesn't quite add up. as many in this room already know, ft. greeley was originally designed for at least 100 gbis. we clearly have the capacity right now. admiral gortly stated 44 gbis will not be enough, because not going to outpace the threat in the number that can be shot at us as we project into the future. with that in mind, i believe it would be wise to make infrastructure investments and build the future gbi silos as we are also doing the investment and the research necessary to accelerate rkvs and more sophisticated sensors. it would be prudent to buy boosters on which the rkv would eventually be placed. these two investments would ensure that the rkv is declared operational, we will have everything we need to expand our ground base interceptor capacity. it's also

north korea doesn't have social media.'t have access to the internet or outside television so everything comes through state-controlled media. what we can expect at some point either today or tomorrow is a triumphant announcement on the state media talking about this and the strength of their country in defiance of what they need feel is intimidation and bull and also it's important to know the united states launched a minute man missile in the last few days. ndia also has lauchbed a missile in the last few days but what north carolina is do of the u.n. security council resolutions. lots to monitor here on the ground here, wolf. >> he's the only western television correspondent in let's bring in our political and military experts. you're a retired -- >> >> will's exactly right. i think this is all timed and done with the unabout the fact that he's going to try to continue to develop these capabilities. i thought secretary tillerson was very strong today. however, i didn't a. so everything what is different is the clock. an
