north korea and iran fall in this category. think the north korean regime has gone pretty far in its nuclear development program, its weapons program. we've seen some headway, some constructive results a couple of years back, but a lot of that has unraveled over the last 18 to 24 months, and i think it is time for the community to gather, and it will gather to put a backstop to this, by taking to mind a host of other global issues that need to be tabled and discussed at the u.n. level. and so, we're seeing a bit of a backlog here, but one is hoping that i think that it's going to be a little bit more responsiveness, because the north koreans aren't going to wait for the rest of us. they're just going to chug ahead and continue to develop these nuclear weapons for a range of political reasons. dareen: right. and graham, i mean, some people are saying that the north koreans are moving to expand its current arsenal with the current moves on the ground. is that a safe assessment to make? >> definitely, i mean, there is nothing, of c

north korea. dye a relies on satellite images using these. it says is detected a discharge of cooling water at the main nuclear plants and young beyond. and that suggests the reactor is operating. if the latest findings are correct, the you and nuclear watchdog says it's a deeply troubling development. it's believe young beyond react to produce plutonium for north korean nuclear arsenal. in the past. the white house says the a report underscores the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. whatever warmer relations that appear to be cultivated under former president donald trump seemed to have grown cold under his successor, joe biden. as u. s. military exercises were held with the south. unfortunately, the biden administration has been slow off the mark on the north korea file. of course, they were dealing with the renewal of the strategic reduction pd with russia, which happened in february. the resumption of talks with iran on the comprehensive plan of action by thing with it. and also there wer

just one thing is that in addition to the difficulties faced by north korea economically and as a result of the panoramic. in 20192020, particularly in the summer months north re experienced a, you know, a spade of nuclear started natural disasters including flooding. i don't particularly dramatic flooding in 2020 so young chinese. right. you know, they have been making, maintaining the site conducting, pursuing upgrades to the cooling system. but it also is possible that the reactor restarting, now instead of potentially last year or last fall before the by the ministration was even inaugurated, may have been a result of an expected damage from those natural disasters and the flooding of the site. i want to bring in another comment, this is from our honcho child to better sees in spain and special cultural delegate or nor korea took this up. the only choice that's more country like the dpi, can we, wendy, so many people that it has to be very self on preserve the life of citizens and do not end up like iraq, afghanistan, and many other countries on the woods of that using purely isn't u

the country can secure dive the un if the united states is going to a dock and beat north korea. the country can answer into any sports or the continental united states. so jenny, why, why shouldn't nor korea have nukes, i mean, if he gets up the program is example. what happened would get davi and saddam, did he take a lesson from that or? oh, he absolutely did, and i think there was a lot of discussion even at that time as if cut off be if we had had nuclear weapons, would the us have done with those times had been taken? i think there is a case to be made. you know, there's, there's some understanding of north korea is a small country, and it is a small country in the middle of large powers. and of other countries that have nuclear weapons the, their, their own or by proxy, by the us. and so i think there was a serious security underpinning to that decision to go nuclear. although it does also serve other purposes as well, including, you know, the procedure prestige of being part of the nuclear club and also the ability to coerce more effectively. i think if you do look at the

so while north korea leads south korea in most to missile development, this is one area of development of technology that south korea seems to have taken a lead on. let's talk about the, the missiles, the north korea has launched just 2 hours before the, the south korean launch still provoking its neighbors, it would seem, would with these missiles tell us, tell us more about the, the, the recent ones and what are happening now. it does seem to be an extremely provocative act. it was confirmed earlier wednesday that these were too short range ballistic missiles fired from a launch site in land. in north korea, they traveled according to south korea and military, about 800 kilometers. they reached an altitude of 60 kilometers before crashing to the sea, and that separates the korean peninsula from japan. now, the japanese condemned this. you actually have a suga, the japanese prime minister saying it is an outrageous act. and of course, it follows on from the testing over the weekend of what north korea claims to be a new type of long range cruise missile that has its neighbors extremel

right when north korea tested i minister was visiting south korea| right when north korea tested itshis week so really it is kind of— missiles this week so really it is kind of north _ missiles this week so really it is kind of north korea _ missiles this week so really it is kind of north korea for- missiles this week so really it is. kind of north korea for thumbing missiles this week so really it is - kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at _ kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china — kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china saying _ kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china saying we _ kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china saying we are - kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china saying we are not - kind of north korea for thumbing its nose at china saying we are not that concerned _ nose at china saying we are not that concerned about _ nose at china saying we are not that concerned about you. _ nose at china saying we are not that concerned about you. or, _ nose at china saying we are not that concerned about you. or, perh

let's turn to north korea.of test missiles this week, one of which experts think could carry a nuclear warhead and reach japan. this is despite sanctions, a collapsed economy, hunger, poverty and closed borders. celia, how concerned should the international community be, particularly north korea's neighbours, about what they have been testing? absolutely. i think we should be very concerned. - not in the short term. i think things will - continue as they will. north korea will continue testing, it will continue l calling for an end to i sanctions, i don't think anything is going to change - but in the medium term i think there is a lot to be concerned about. i whether north korea we have had reportsjust this week— of farmers complaining that these are coming i in to steal their crops l from the fields in order to simply feed themselves i or to go and sell their crops at market because people are so hungry _ around 40% of the country, . we think, isn't getting enough to eat on a regular basis. so there is that.

when it comes north korea, it is hard to say when north korea will come back to the table, as they have demonstrated. they have demonstrated their ability to surprise us before. it is difficult to predict what north koreans will do. a couple of the things we can do, or what comes to mind, is that with respect to sanctions. i do not believe in sanctions will move kim jong-un to come back to the table. we tried that approach before and it has led to a nuclear regime that has used its power to oppress its people for decades. i would like to see signs north -- from north korea that is willing to move forward with reforms and denuclearization and , human rights, as i've mentioned. that is something that i consistently talk about. human rights should remain a core element of our combined approach to north korea. if we cannot rely on the kim regime to protect the basic rights of his own people, they cannot be trusted to maintain a comprehensive and binding agreement. the united states and south korea should work together to ensure that any aid we send or consider sending into north korea is us

we wouldn't talk about north korea that much if it didn't do these kind of things, north korea is prettyotherwise is things like famine. one of the ways the north koreans pretend they are the equal of south korea and a functional and normal state is by rattling the sabre, and here we are. �* , ., we are. but in terms of what north korea _ we are. but in terms of what north korea is _ we are. but in terms of what north korea is currently - north korea is currently grappling with with covid, having closed borders, in particular to china which is where it gets a lot of its much—needed medical supplies, other good and food et cetera, it must be in a very difficult place right now.— it must be in a very difficult place right now. yeah, again the north — place right now. yeah, again the north koreans— place right now. yeah, again the north koreans don't - place right now. yeah, again the north koreans don't tell| place right now. yeah, again i the north koreans don't tell us much so it is hard to know, they tell us they have zero covid cases which i don't think anybody believe that all. and so

has yet to respond, even when it comes to south korea, there are no talks going on between northtline which was cut last year was re—established and then cut again. north korea had warned that it would kind of if payback to south korea after it took part in those military exercises with the united states in august, it's something that happens every year and north korea does not like his military exercises happening on the border, so it could be this is a response to that but it certainly will highlight to the biden administration and to officials here that pyongyang does have new and emerging capabilities and we heard last month from satellite images that its main nuclear plant is once again operational. so pyongyang may have been quiet but it has certainly been busy. laura bicker there. _ let's focus on the nuclear challenges in another part of the world, actually. the un's nuclear watchdog says it's reached a deal with iran to resume surveillance of some of the country's nuclear facilities. the new government in tehran will allow international monitors to service the cameras th

we begin with breaking news out of north korea. . our reporter is in south korea and our correspondent alex is here with me now. let's start with you, paulo. what are you learning there? >> this came earlier this morning local time from state-run media. they say

this is being seen as a highly provocative act by north korea. the south korean military have been given us more details. after analyzing the flight path of these 2 missiles, they've been deemed to be short range, ballistic miss styles. they were fired from an inland launch site and they both travelled around 800 kilometers, apparently reaching out to toot of about 60 kilometers before a crashing into the sea that separates the korean peninsula. from japan, the launch is also confirmed by the japanese. they are extremely annoyed by this late his lord jesse heed a suit, the prime minister describing this as an outrageous behavior. and it does come as the chinese foreign minister is in a soul for talks with his counterpart here. and it's really overshadowed his visit . the south koreans are hoping that china can use its extensive influence over north korea as the, the country that really supports it and keeps that north korea going, especially a joining all of its miriana problems and crises that it is facing to use its employees to get it back to

propose that there should be removal of those very tough sanctions on north korea. something that the united states rejected. so the white house watching this carefully but noting this and really this really as an attempt by north korea to catch the bike and ministrations attention. and kimberly, we've heard that the u. s. president is due to make an announcement soon on national security in the asia pacific region. what more detail do we have? we're getting a bit more detail now. it looks like this is going to be at $21.00 g m t is going to be a joint virtual appearance by not only the us president, but also as counterparts in the u. k. and australia. and what this announcement is going to entail essentially is a partnership that will allow for information sharing not only cyber intelligence, but also artificial intelligence, as well as underwater security systems and long range break capabilities. now the goal in all of this is really to maintain the nuclear defense infrastructure of the united states in this allies in the region. and it really underscores as we a

it said to aflame, 1500 kilometers and hit targets in north korea is territorial waters. and it's enough to make its neighbors worry for contemporaries along the past. there was a question about whether we were notified by the north korean military about the massage. i will answer the question by saying that as you know, the south north military communication hotline is not working a single kid, or if it's true that north korea fired a missile with a range of 1500 kilometers. it's threatening the pace and safety of japan and it's surrounding region. we are highly concerned about this. ah, described as a strategic weapon. it's flawless, provocative, and the ballistic missiles. north korea is tested in the past and isn't subject to un sanctions, but seems intended as a reminder from north korea of its military strength. i've been even, the chinese are concerned about this to write any proper tiny scholars would event . and you know, if you watch chinese tv and stuff like that, they actually talk about like north korea or pullover and sort of restrain itself. right? but if yo

they have also made it clear that they are willing to talk at any time and anywhere, but north korea pond, even when it comes to south korea, there are no talks going on between north and south korea. a hotline which was cut last year was re—established and then cut again. i north korea had warned that it would kind of give payback to south korea after it took part in those military exercises with the united states in august. that something that happens every year, that they do not like his military exercises happening an aborted, so could be that this is in response to that. but it certainly will highlight to the biden into officials here that pyongyang does have new and emerging capabilities. and we heard last month from satellite images that its main nuclear plant is once again operational. so pyongyang may have been quiet, but it is certainly been busy. laura, thank you _ certainly been busy. laura, thank you very _ certainly been busy. laura, thank you very much - certainly been busy. laura, | thank you very much indeed there. let's go from one hot nuclear issue to another. i'll

so north korea normally tests - tested before? sure. so north korea normally tests ballistic. to from recent years. a nuclear capable cruise missile is nothing they have tested in the past, and also they tested and just now. these present a different type of challenge for missile defence and deserve to be taken seriously. and deserve to be taken seriously-— and deserve to be taken seriously. and deserve to be taken seriousl . ~ ., ., , , seriously. what does the test tell us about _ seriously. what does the test tell us about north _ seriously. what does the test tell us about north korea's i tell us about north korea's ability to advance its weapons programme? you know, this is happening against food shortages and the pandemic. also, they've decided their nuclear capabilities and missile forces which deliver their nuclear weapons are absolutely a top national priority. so pandemic or no pandemic, economic difficulties or no economic difficulties, they will continue to find ways to invest in these capabilities. and i think we absolutely see north korea continuing to do so. the

the destabilizing impact of north korea is weapons program. now the united states is once again reaffirming its security and defense commitment to not only south korea and japan, but the state department going much further condemning the missile large saying is a violation of a number of un security council. resolution ad is once again saying that it is inviting john yang to return to diplomatic talks. and discussions. of course, those talks have essentially stalled since 2019 after north korea asked for sanctions relief and that was rejected by the white house. so there is no question that in washington, this is being viewed as an attempt by north korea to pressure the biden administration. the president is going to be speaking later today. is he likely to address all of this? there are no. there's no doubt that there are going to be questions about this. the president is scheduled to talk national security at 21 g m t. and we expect that he will be discussing what the white house is doing in terms of security concerns around the in the pacif
