pyongyang cut the hotlines once again saying they were happy that the u.s. and south korea were carrying out military drills they wanted canceled. pyongyang has a way of showing anger, displeasure against south korea and wanting them to do something different. this is no different in that respect. we did hear from pyongyang in a number of different cases they want them to stop criticizing the missile launches. there's no doubt that has been a significant up tick. what north korea is saying is south korea is doing the same and they've told them to abandon their, quote, double standards and delusion. south korea has been increasing the new weapons launches and tests. submarine launched ballistic missile having been tested in recent weeks. what north korea is saying is there could be improved relations and even floating the idea of a possible another summit between the two leaders, something which moon jae-in would be happy. >> good news. let's see how long it lasts. thank you very much. good seeing you. >>> now the u.s. is urging beijing to de-escalate after r
