six-party talks or other, where north korea said abide by basic nuclearizing north korea. north korea has kept the door closed the new york channel, where because we don't have embassies in each capital, we interact officially at the u.n. missions new york city. north korea closed new york channel last july after we cited kim jong-un for human rights violations and reopened it this the return of the u.s. citizen. demill tarized zone, north korea does not pick up the empty their line or mailbox for messages. korean u.s. and south military officers on the border line yelling, please, we want a meeting, please pick up the phone. they don't there is a military reas that tween cot north korea doesn't answer. we've tried diplomacy, we've negotiations, they have not been successful, yes, we be trying to engage with north korea before we go into a military situation. host: we've learned to live with countries being nuclear powers, can we come to that way korea?nking on north guest: perhaps its is wored smithing, there is a talk about acknowledging them, i don't think we can formal

but analysts have long been convinced that north korea is manufacturing it. >> north korea has a longg chemical weapons program. they've had this program for a number of decades, it's quite large, it's on a military scale, it was designed for war fighting. north korea's likely the only country currently in the world today that has active chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs, and possibly even the ability to deploy all three. that really puts them in a league of their own, in terms of current capabilities. >> big story here, keep an eye on it. north korea firing four ballistic missiles toward the sea of japan early monday morning. >> tonight, kim jong-un could be one step closer to threatening america with a nuclear-tipped missile. the ballistic missiles his regime just test-fired... >> narrator: three weeks after the assassination, kim jong-un had another point to make. >> (speaking korean): >> narrator: he began the most intense period of missile testing in north korea's history. (explosions) in the months since the assassination, kim jong-un has launched more missiles

north korea has nuclear weapons. the search for details on the early life of kim jong un takes us to bern switzerland. kim's father north korean leader kim jong il is reported to have sent him here to attend school under an assumed name. there's a large north korean community unburned swiss journalists tito's plattner explains why they choose to live there. just like no u.s. research being told us she's the reason for that lies in the recent history of switzerland it's a neutral country and many international organizations are based here out. switzerland has always been open to the north koreans they know that this is a peaceful country with a business and that their privacy will be respected their prevail you're going to join that's why a lot of prominent north koreans send their kids to study here he was going to deal she's sick and that includes kim jong un here can join each of us is a false raise. in one thousand nine hundred ninety two swiss authorities received an application filed by the north korean embassy

and like to begin with north korea. wondering if i could put you on the spot, there's a lot of rhetoric going around and then outside that there's a lot of analysis of fear of emanate conflict on the korean peninsula. can you describe for us in your view what is the danger today of military conflict over north korea? >> i think the issue were discussing his right now the most immediate national security threat the united states and our partners face. at the same time, the most pressing serious long-term strategic challenge and i think we have to think about that boy think about this is a national security problem boy think about diagnosing and addressing the problem. north korea's u aspiring to establish itself as a nuclear state. and its leader is focusing on his stability and security at home. were also wrestling with the country in northeast asia, how what relationship try to watch with united states. china itself is wrestling with concerns about instability and at the same time is trying to establish a stable relati

coming back to north korea. america's current diplomatic policy must be cautious in engaging this individual, this leadership that appears to be very unpredictable. reports do confirm north korea is accelerating the pace of its missile testing. devoting more resources to develop its cyber operation. and threatening to create a multi-functional nuclear bomb. recent actions such as the north korea connected hacking groups that stole $81 million from banks in bangladesh and southeast asia show north korea is getting more daring and much more functional. with their cyber operation. from the witnesses today i look forward to hearing from you. and how this department homeland security can better protect the vulnerable critical infrastructure of cyber. cyber threats and how to mitigate such threats here in our country. further while the probability of a electromagnetic pulse appears to be at this time unlikely. north korea has made it clear it is testing its ability to mike a hydro general bomb capable of such destruct

ones that visit north korea. but they are very good at deceptive practices in the commercial and financial sphere, where they use chinese and hong kong and other front companies, and we believe that that is some of what they're doing in the shipping sector, which makes it harder. so that's where that delta comes from. that's why we use the phrase, at least. there are other lists that are much higher than that. and so i think, you know, this is an area where my experience comes on the iran side, where we targeted iran's shipping sector and it was very successful. that's an area now that we're not doing enough on north korea. i think homeland security could help with that. they have some authorities that could be used. i think treasury department, state department, and the point on tiger team, we don't see that in the u.s. government sort of going at sanctions in this way. so i think there's some focus on it, but we need to have more. >> okay, and the 180 days? there's a prohibition or a restriction regarding the s

the issue with north korea now is it's easy to identify vessels that have the north korea flag for theones that visit north korea, but they are very good at deceptive practices where they use chinese and hong kong and other front companies, and we believe that as some of what they are doing in the shipping sector which makes it harder. that is where the delta comes from and that's why we use the phrase at least. there are other less much higher than that. this is an area where my experience comes on the iran side when we targeted their shipping sector and it was very successful. that's an area now were not doing enough on north korea, and i think homeland security could help. the treasury department, state department and tiger team, we don't see that and the u.s. government going out sanctions in this way. i think there is some focus but there needs to be more. >> and there's a prohibition or restriction regarding the sanctions regime. >> when the department of homeland security, that's a requirement when they have to make decisions. you can do it earlier than 180 days. >> okay, do we

north korea is actually testing the red line of america's mind and north korea understands well where increased show of military might. but where are his options now? the first is a so—called decapitation strike, taking out kim jong un and his circle. south korean forces have even been practising. david maxwell, a us special forces colonel, who's done five tours of south korea, doubts it would work. we have to realise that their entire system is designed to protect kim jong un. there are three rings of defence around him and it's likely that he will be in a deeply buried underground facility that will have to be penetrated while there are the military forces counterattacking. the president's second option is to strike kim jong un‘s missile and nuclear facilities. but many of them are hidden. just recently they did a launch from this factory here. but it's largely an underground manufacturing facility. under this hillside covered in trees? yes. so you mean there is a whole factory under there? there is a whole factory under there. of course we can't observe that. and this of course jus

north korea and panorama. north korea's tested a nuclear bomb believed to be ten times more destructive than hiroshima. rocketman is on a suicide mission. kim jong un versus donald trump is the most dangerous stand—off in detectionades. we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. so how did north korea achieve its nuclear ambitions? we show how their spies have been trying to steal blueprints for missiles. of course, they need technology, components, illicit activities to fuel the nuclear missile programmes. insiders who work for the regime tell panorama how it uses secret front companies to fund its weapons programme. their top priority is building this nuclear arsenal. so what can president trump do as kim jong un threatens the world? north korea is a situation that should have been handled 25 years ago, 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 years ago and five years ago, but i'll fix the mess. this is a live fire exercise. mr kim is ready for war. his ultimate target may be america, but it's south ko

into handing over three remaining north koreans who are being held in north korea —— in malaysia, undern malaysia, undersuspicion. so who are being held in north korea —— in malaysia, under suspicion. so to conduct this trial, only these two young women, this indonesian and vietnamese woman, are left. that account is that they had been trained to carry out what they thought were televised pranks. these are all women with no particular background that would suggest that they could have been involved in this assassination. and they are simply arguing that they did not know. so this is all malaysians had to go on. they will bring expert witnesses to the trial, as well is listening to the two women, but we will not hear from any of the north koreans themselves. so the actual details of the plot and howard was organised, i think, details of the plot and howard was organised, ithink, i details of the plot and howard was organised, i think, i think that is something that may still elude us wa nts something that may still elude us wants the trial is over at the end of next month. and yet we kno

the deadly wildfires in the north bay.d federal agencies are struggling to pay for the huge cost of fighting the fires. california officials expect the wine country fires to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. the state has spent more than half of its emergency fire fund in the past three months. that does not indlude the cost of fighting these fires. the federal government has spent more than two-point-seven billion battling wildfires this year. (robin) the salvation armyis preparing for a new week of making meals for north bay fire evacuees. they have recently added two evacuation centers to distribute meals. those sites are in santa rosa at elsie allen high and lawrence cook middle school. since monday the salvaton army has fed over 22 thousand people from several other evacuation centers in sonoma county. in napa county the salvation army has served more than 16-thousand meals through saturday at the finley community center, the veterans memorial building and the grace pavilion in santa rosa.... and since last week..

the second is taking a part north korea to unpack north korea. i don't see a lot of daylight in north korea policy. and president trump administration. at least right now. three, four months ago there might have been potential. i would say they're on the same page in terms of pressure and negotiate. in terms of what i would say in the defense sphere in terms of communication through military channels. through capability upgrade. you don't see major issues there. and what i would say is they're being fairly creative in terms of military thinking, posture, planning. you don't see a lot of rifts at least out wardly so. what i would say there is general alignment. and i think the question is couple of things. one, how is this going to hold up over time. two, i think the u.s. does need some of the people in place to help manage these alliances. you can only manage these at the top for so long before you start to see cracks or dropped balls. this is not a situation for dropped balls. and three what i would say finally, there is i would say a general ag

it's coming out of the north and sending all of that smoke from the fires in the north bay to the south. let's talk about the wind gusts, because this is going to be very important. it's a crucial tool to help firefighters kind of get a handle on the situation. right now the winds are just so active and they're so busy, they're just gusting over 30 miles per hour at times. and the forecast, as you watch the timestamp, this would be 5:00, later on this morning. still an active wind at about 27 miles per hour, and even by 8:00 in the morning, the winds are still gusting over 20 miles per hour. but the good news is, and it continues to show this in our forecast guidance, as we get to midday, the winds really do come down substantially. by 12:00, say later on today, the winds do come down. and once they come down, it looks like they're going to stay down, and that's going to be great news for firefighters to fight these fires. but right now in the near term, what we're concerned with is the winds being just so active in the north bay right now. still active in our hills as well. tam gusting

north bay.rth winds. we saw at gust in our thread is only for downed tree branches. much of the region under high fire danger at this hour. we had these gusty winds. humidity is bone dry at this hour. 10 to 20% humid at this time level. winds nearing 50 miles an hour a recipe for fires to easily start and easily spread this time of the year. once again krk the red flag warning, high fire danger. wind advisory in effect. those will last till about 11:00 a.m. and 5 ap respectively around here. i believe if i'm correct, am i tossing back to matt or going to break? >> thank you. in napa says there are evacuatios. in sonoma, porter creek and petrified forest road. reads are open to both stall goh stow ga and santa rosa at this moment. one for the fire in stall stow ga, if you need a place to go, food. water. internet. we need it to live. but what we don't need are surprises, like extra monthly fees. i see you, fee, played by legendary actress anjelica huston. you got me, mark. we just want fast inter

yeah, that the statement by the deputy un ambassador of north korea, who says "as ambassador of northong as one doesn't take part in us military actions against the dprk, north korea, we have no intention to use nuclear weapons against any other country". so yet another heightening of the rhetoric between north korea and the west. of course directed at the us after this war of words. donald trump threatening to totally destroy north korea, saying last week there was only one way... the one thing that would work against north korea. the north korean foreign minister at the un saying that the us had little wea k of un saying that the us had little weak of a war against his country. -- lit the weak of a war against his country. —— lit the wick. this comes ahead of thejoint military —— lit the wick. this comes ahead of the joint military exercises that are coming up this week. a 10—day exercise happening around the korean peninsular that is routine but comes amid the growing tension between the two. the us is now preparing drills and evacuation of its troops from south korea in case of an

i believe they're funding north korea. i believe they're trading with north korea.with north korea that is totally inappropriate, that doesn't pertain to the deal, but in my opinion it does because it's called ‘the spirit of the deal‘. and you will see what i will be doing in the not too distant future. but iran is a bad player and they will be taken care of as a bad player. the us vice—president, mike pence, has walked out of an nfl game after some players refused to stand for the national anthem. mr pence said he left the match between the colts and the 49ers because he would not dignify any event which showed such disrespect. the symbolic protest against racial injustice has been staged at a number of games in recent weeks. well, this looks like a very much planned walkout by the vice president. it should have come to... no surprise to mike pence that the players on the field, the san francisco 49ers, knelt during the national anthem. they have done so for the last three weeks. in fact it was one of those players who started the debate in the first place. so as t

for north korean china, adding recently announced an orderfor north korean companies operating in chinay will have a huge impact of the people you spoke to. yes. most of the people we spoke to were chinese trading or in ventures with north korea. so depending on how the regulation is enforced, this could have a major impact on north korean trade. but if north cred does shift to chinese companies, it might not have that big an effect. that is how they are enterprising. he's too soon now to see those economic sanctions that china has put in place against north korea take effect? i mean, you the cold then, the tax band, and limited oil exploits. —— coal ban. —— exports. limited oil exploits. —— coal ban. -- exports. china tries many things before they implement sanctions. at the same time, north koreans are ill—defined ways around sanctions. sometimes channelled the other way, then as it does not. but depend on then as it does not. but depend on the extent to which north korea circumvents the sections, we might not see a huge drop, although i am expecting some drop. just a heating speaking

strategy towards north korea. and it's one that has the advantage of presenting an option other than a military first response. as many experts have called for, this legislation takes a page from the iran sanctions playbook by mandating the use of secondary sanctions which were widely credited with forcing iran to the negotiating table. in the context of north korea, an american program of secondary sanctions wouldn't just ban u.s. companies from with north ss korea, it would also force companies, individuals, banks, and governments to make a choice. stop doing business with with n korea and its enablers, or be cut off from the global financial system. although we saw in iran context just how powerful this approach can be, when carefully fashioned as part of a broad coalition, we must remember that sanctions alone are not a strategy. sanctions are a tool and in order for them to work they must be linked to a broader strategic effort with a high level of skill in their desire and implementation and with the clear u

korea, although they're not happy with north korea, they have a treaty with north korea but north koreaserves a purpose for china as was articulated. i don't think they want to see it used doing something in north korea that would upset this equation where they have an ally and in some ways they probably view north korea, given historical park, tribune tribuy state, but the fact is it's their turf. china will be very protective and concerned if we should, my personal view, unilaterally or in consultation with our allies do something that is amicable to the interest and that's what have to be part of any in my view, in a discussion about what plants and attention would be. really our allies in the south korea but china, that's an important region for them. >> i'm going to unleash the ious audience on you now. bracer cells. it's difficult for me to see because of the lights. i would like the first questions to be from students and want to get to the press section before you finish up, or students who are members of the gw community. who's going to choose for me? there's a gentleman up her

would you support military action against north korea? >> only if north korea attacked us. at this point, no. and i don't believe president trump lit the wick for this. i think we need to go back over the previous administrations and we've seen this escalation with north korea gaining missile technology, perfecting them from a nuclear bomb to possibly a hydrogen bomb. this is something that's been going on and on. president trump didn't light the wick. we're coming off of eight years of strategic patience, which has turned a blind eye and to do th. so president trump has made it very clear statement saying that he will defend the united states, our territories, and our allies as our agreements with south korea states. and so we're going to stand by that. kim jong-un is the one that's lighting the wick and flaming the flames by his rhetoric of showing tv commercials of the united states blowing up. and talking about how he's going to, you know, light a ring of fire around our fleet out in the pacific. so, he's the one that's enflaming this. donald trump is the adult in the r
