views a collapse of north korea as a greater threat than they do a nuclear north korea. and until that calculation changes, china is never going to put the type of pressure on north korea needed to gins them to give up their nearly missile capabilities. and right now, kim jong-un, the relatively untested leader of north korea, views them as the accept thor of power, that if he gives those up, his chances of survival are extremely limited so he's going to hold on to them as tightly as he can. >> sreenivasan: would they actually respond or would they feel the impact of, say, greater sanctions, placed on them by the world community? >> well, i think they already are feeling tight sanctions under the previous administration where i worked. we were able to severely constrain financial flows, the flow of coal into north korea, which is a needed commodity. so i think there is an opportunity to really contradict the exphk-- constrict the economic flow into the north. but as i said, the problem is until china believes that a collapse of north korea is in its interest, they're not going to squeeze them tightly enough. >>

one of north korea's lifelines, and we are following china's reaction. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. north korea's says sunday's launch was for self defense, and it becomes at a sensitive time for beijing, just as the relations with the trump administration were starting to thaw. and they are still trying to get a read on the new and unpredictable u.s. president. the missile tested on sunday was a new type, using solid fuel, not liquid, and it's more stable and allows for less advanced warning. analyst say the achievement is a dangerous step forward in north korea's pursuit of a deliverable nuclear weapon, and it's a first test for president trump. >> obviously north korea is a big, big problem, and we will deal with that very strongly. >> it also potentially pits the newest administration against china, north korea's only major ally. less than a week after president trump smoothed things over in a phone call with the chinese president. >> china and the united states have fundamentally different approaches of dealing with north korea. china, we

north korea is china's ally. china one of north korea's only allies. increasingly, beijing has been frustrated by these provocations on the north korean side. china, even joining the u.n. sanctions last fall in response to that fifth nuclear test and deciding to slash coal imports from north korea and they have been following through on those sanctions. i think what this does, it really puts into sharp relief the importance of that phone call between donald trump and xi jinping the other evening. there had been a lot of speculation on why the two sides had not been talking for so long. of course, it was trump's tradition on the one china policy that seemed to be standing in the way. once he made that very public agreement at xi jinping's request, there was the sense that perhaps the u.s. and china would be able to move beyond that hurdle, beyond that obstacle, in order to address some real issues. north korea being one of them. so there's probably going to be increased communication on both sides while this test by north korea is not a complete surprise

of north korea's exports, so it is a pretty big blow to them. is chinatting increasingly frustrated with north korea? >> well, there are a number of reasons. the north is still doing nuclear missile tests, which are prompting the u.s. and allies to put in a missile defense system in south korea, and china is very concerned about this. it cannot only be used to stop north korean missiles, but also chinese missiles as well and hurt their unlimited capabilities. secondly, there was the murder ,ast week of kim jong-nam someone under the protection of chinese authorities, and he was seen as a potential replacement -un if thatg scenario were needed. that upset the chinese as well. rishaad: beijing was apparently furious when he had his uncle killed too. what is the likelihood of renewed talks? north korean officials are preparing to go to the u.s. to have these talks. are a lot of obstacles to talks still taking place. north korea is dead set on getting its nuclear deterrent. china wants to slow this thing down. they don't want to collapse the regime, but they

what can the trump administration do to win favor with china and what influence does china have over north korea>> china has significant influence over north korea, but they often don't want to exercise it. although day to day relations can sour as they have over the last three or four years, the chinese still have the power to force the north koreans to do what they want when the chinese believe it's in their interest. china turnover course of decades has not really helped the united states and the international community with regard to north korea. they have been actually helping the north koreans arm themselves. so i think that sort of coercive punishments on chinese banks there's very little i think the u.s. can do to get the chinese into a cooperative relation. it would be nice if china woo help us but we know that they haven't really helped us over a long period of time. and they've given a lot of support both diplomatic material, technology to them. >> donald trump is it supposed to be having a working dinner with the japanese prime minister. something tells me this ballistic missile test

straightforward, simple frame that there are four major countries we have 20 about, russia, china, north korea and iran. there's one transnational threats, which is a combination of devices, al qaeda and whatever term you want to use. isis, alation of qaeda, and what of the turbulent to use. you have been meeting with the russians recently, chief of general staff, dealing with these four, plus one sets of problems for 1.5 years as chairman. how those forbe threats, plus the one, have evolved and how you take a stop to them? gen. dunford: first, let me give you background and what that framework isn't what it isn't. last year, just like in every endeavor coming into benchmark something. last year, as we were trying to decide what our priorities it the moving forward for joint force development and process the risk we currently had in meeting our national security objectives, we came upon looking at the four threat to talked about, russia, china, north korea, iran. we do not look at that as a predicted fool. in other words, not to imply we would fight against them, but what we believe there's if

if china can use north korea to do something that china would not want to do because of the relationship with america on paper and perspective worldwide, they can have north korea do their dirty work. >> absolutely. it is not only north korea, it is i ran into a to a lesser extent, pakistan. you have these proxies of doing beijing's work and beijing says it is not us. but we now have the support from north korea to china. china has been selling missile material and processed uranium, they have been selling launchers for their long-range missiles. all sorts of things for north korea's army. we don't say anything about it and that is our fault. >> so you say president trump has got to get serious and he has to do it soon on china. >> absolutely. we only have a few years be for the north koreans will be able to new gus. >> will watch this and have you back. we appreciate your analysis. >> thank you gordon. back at home the promise to fix the veterans administration. tomorrow we can expect a full senate vote on david churkin's administration is the new secretary of veterans affairs. he will

in 2013 according to the article in the south china morning post, north korea was receiving close to or its coal exports to china. in 2015, about $2.5 billion. a lot of money for north korea, maybe not too many other countries. china is going to ban the purchase of north korean coal, lots of money disappearing for north korea and it's happening against the backdrop of the assassination in malaysia. what's interesting is what this means in the global context. china is trying to say to america, mr trump, you've been saying we don't do enough in the region, we're not supporting you on getting north korea to stop missile tests but were finally going to do something and make it public and stop the coal imports and put pressure on north korea but more importantly we can show you we can be a good ally. the chinese are looking to dc and also soul to say we're going to play the global game, don't worry about us, we're not your enemy. will it make any difference? the defector, the deputy ambassador here, the north korean in london said last month i think that kim jong—un will probably press the

last year, more than 50% - -call made up a significant amount of north korea's export to chinae end of this year is a substantial cut in income for north korea and china has orderuying coal under an that allowed trade for what they called livelihood purposes. what they get from north korea barely make some 10% of china's total coal imports. these china is looking at re-imposing coal production caps. maybe not getting coal for north korea is not going to be a big loss. china has been concern about north korea's nuclear tests and has been under pressure from the international community and in n toary listed a new ba comply with a new round of sanctions. it was to be seen as cooperative. " administration wants china to do more to reign in kim jong un 's regime -- and trump's administration wants china to do market heidi: what is the bigger play here for china? >> china wants to get all sides around the table for talks and it really contrasts with the u.s. which is taking on a more hawkish tone. china's foreign minister said it is time to "break the negative cycle on the nuclear is

was a solid ally both in relations towards china and towards north korea. mattis signaled also the u.s. wants to sort of back off any confrontation with china. so north korea rng sends this out as a symbolic response. they doe this time and time again. it pointedly is trying to disrupt that u.s. message of a firm alliance with japan and with cooperation with china. >> let's talk about the optics and context of what we saw coming from the president of the united states. this is not the president on twitter. this is not the president signing executive orders talking to a domestic audience. rather, this was the president of the united states on stage with another world leader talking about a big international issue. giving a very brief statement just your thoughts, your reaction from what you heard from that brief statement from president trump. >> well, i think the statement itself, just that one sentence is sort of a hold the line statement. there's not much you can say at this point till we know more about the test. that said it, did come across as relativel

north korea's only allies. adriana diaz is in beijing following china's reaction. od morning. >> reporter: good morning, north korea said sunday's launch was for self-defense. it comes after months of quiet and at a particularly sensitive time for beijing. just as relations for the trump administration were starting to fall. so this launch adds a new layer of uncertainty for the region, that's still trying to get a read on the new and up predictable u.s. president. the missile tested sunday was a new type. using fuels not liquid to eject from the mobile launcher. it's more stable and allows for less advanced warning. analysts say the achievement say dangerous step forward in north korea's. pursuit in a deliverable weapon. and it's a first test for president trump. >> obviously, north korea is a big, big problem and we will deal with that very strongly. >> reporter: and it also potentially pits the new administration against china, north korea's only major ally. less than a week that mr. trump smoothed things over in a phone call with chinese president jinping. at th

i would say specifically with respect to china and north korea, the argument here is not urging china favor. we're trying to explain to china why it's in their interest to put sufficient pressure on north korea that this regime collapses and the two koreas are reunited. that's the long-term solution. lou: it's a long-term solution, two koreas has been the policy of the united states government for more than a half century. the thinking is not exacy effervescent in the state department nor in the foreign policy apparatus. because of his freshness of thought, because of his statements and his policies that he ran on as a candidate. >> yeah, that's what elections are for. the bureaucracies, whether it's state or anywhere else, have no constitutional legitimacy. lou: but they have tenure and all but impossible to fire. >> you're absolutely right. lou: john bolton, great to see you. >> glad to be with you, lou. lou: let's have a discussion about all the things you wouldn't tell us here on the air.

north korea might be behind the killing. in fact, it's a nationstate of thing. russia, united states and probably chinaot many other options. which particular nationstate would you say? certainly north korea. they would undoubtedly be the case. how would it have been handled? how be the case. how would it have been handled 7 how would be the case. how would it have been handled? how would it have been used in an attack such as this? for vx to be lethal to kim jong in an attack such as this? for vx to be lethal to kimjong nam, it would have required about of a gram, less than one drop. it was a part of the water that was on him. vx is an oil, it would not mixed with water. that was a subterfuge, a divergent. it was a subterfuge, a divergent. it was probably in cloth that touched him. just was probably in cloth that touched him.justa was probably in cloth that touched him. just a very small amount touching his skin. over time it would go through his skin and cause the effects we have seen. without being too grisly, what would it have gone to him? he would have been shaking, his nerve system would have be

sanctions capped the value of china's annual coal imports from north korea at $400 million. the resolution was adopted after pyongyang conducted its fifth nuclear test in september. but in december, china's coal imports from north korea exceeded the monthly limit. gao dismissed criticism over the excess amount. he said it's understandable that implementing the resolution would take time. >>> china has suggested that the world's largest and second largest economies cooperate to avoid a trade war. gene otani has details on that and other business headlines. >> china's commerce minister has called on the united states to sit down and discuss potential trade disputes. gao hucheng referred to punitive tariffs that the u.s. plans to impose on some chinese imports. >> translator: china and the u.s. should maintain proper negotiation and communication channels and solve conflicts and differences through dialogue and cooperation. >> the u.s. administration claims that some chinese products, such as road paving material and a heat-resistant fabric are being dumped in the u.s. and harmi

— the country that many think holds the key to stopping north korea. china'sy do not want a north korea armed with nuclear missiles, but nor do they want the kim regime to collapse. with each new test, north korea comes a step closer to that goal of becoming a nuclear—missile—armed state. the prospect makes south korea and japan extremely nervous. but nobody seems to have any idea how to get north korea's nuclear genie back in the bottle. the commons speaker, john bercow, has insisted that his impartiality has not been compromised, after a video emerged of him declaring that he voted remain in the eu referendum. the parliament website states that "speakers must be politically impartial. " mr bercow is already facing calls to stand down after saying last week that he would veto a parliamentary address by president donald trump. the latest comments, published in the sunday telegraph, were made at an address to students at reading university three days earlier. this may not be popular with some people in this audience, personally, i voted to remain. i thought it

so given that has now happened, how important will china be when it comes to provocative north korea? >> you know, i've always said there is no -- without china. 90% of all of north korea's trade is with china. as the rest of the world imposed sanctions and tried to squeeze north korea, that increased china's leverage because essentially china is the last country that has any economic relationship of significance with north korea. so china is critical. you're absolutely right to point to that one china sort of backing off that. thank god. that -- why pick a fight that neither side wants to have over something that has been settled for decades? so now the question is, with that behind us, will the president of the united states and president should be able to find a way to find common ground on north korea even if they are at odds on other issues, on the south china sea or on trade or -- can they find a way to pursue their mutual self-interests on north korea? that's an open question. i have no idea. but that will be the key question going forward, because there is no solving this. tha

china. north korea, the south china sea, that military present in asia, he is go to press ha rd present in asiah china and trade with china, this is uncomfortable and it needs to be said to trump privately that allies in the region are genuine supporters of the us but have concerns with the way he is conducting policy with china. if there's one common thread amid president trump's international disputes it's that, if you're on the receiving end of his attacks, it seems like the most important conflict in the world. take mexico. you'll remember that mr trump came out swinging at america's southern neighbour when he announced his candidacy, and the jabs keep coming. the bbc‘s will grant looks at how that is playing out. mexicans famously love their soap operas. the latest big release, the double life, is a tale of cross—border immigration, music business and money laundering. the past two weeks have seen more drama than even the most outlandish of storylines. when it comes to life imitating art, everything is therefore a good plot. a powerful villain which for most mexicans is being played by don

north korea. from the standpoint of china in thatong run, i suspect they deep inside want north korea to become a nuclear power because it can only help them against the u.s. alliance. host: can you respond? guest: i think china is deeply concerned about north korea's nuclear program but they're also concerned about instability on the korean peninsula. as much as they would like to see north korea eliminate its program, they want to avoid peninsula.e korean it's their neighborhood. that's one of the reasons why they have been pushing the united states and south korea -- to try totriton negotiate with north korea. it's one reason why they have been resisting tough economic sanctions against the north. in the last few days, they did announce they would cut off all: imports from north korea, their biggest export item. china has a different strategic objectives that they are trying to balance. it's not true that they would like to see north korea armed with nuclear weapons. what they don't want to see is a bigger u.s. military presence in their region. they don't want to see u.s. missile defenses in t

we have a very big problem and a very dangerous problem for the world with north korea. i think china the measures control of north korea, whether they say so or not is up to them, but they have tremendous control over north korea. i think they could solve the problem could easily if they wanted to. missile defence is one of many things that can happen. their stalks off more than... well, there's talks of a lot more than that. we'll see what happens. i think they're grand champions at manipulation of currency. i haven't held back. we will see what happens. it would be wonderful... the dream would be that no countries would have nukes, at if countries will have nukes we will be at the top of the pack. staying with us foreign policy, relations between mexico and the us is said to be apple is pointing decades, after president trump's controversial immigration reforms. you can imagine the atmosphere went two of donald trump's most senior officials made their cap —— met their counterparts in mexico city on thursday. in a press conference the mexican foreign minister said his people are wor

they need to contain nuclear north korea as well as rising china in the south china sea. but they could potentially create new park ets together over the next decade worth $450 billion. so there there are a lot of economic opportunities on the horizon. charles: abe came bearing a lot of things to invest in infrastructure. they wanted to do things like use their high-speed trains. $150 billion over 10 years. 700,000 jobs. what's not to like? >> i take that rain almost every week. prime minister abe understanding things the media and globalists don't understand. donald trump is a guy willing to do business. trump realizes japan is responsible for $100 billion in jobs. he realizes the u.s.-japan relationship will serve as a furks ulcrum against china's expansion. by the time the guys hit the 9th fairway they probably will have negotiated a bilateral trade deal. this is good politics and good for the u.s. charles: during the campaign then candidate trump talked about japan, paying for those bases, pulling their own weight. refocusing on the notion we better send china a stron

with north korea and china, the us needs japan. n, with north korea and china, the us needsjapan. in the long run, i think it could be a problem. when raymond —— when prime minister abe... he basically cancelled tpp and since then has accused japan of being a currency manipulatorjust like china. mr trump has claimed japan is making it difficult for japan. president donald trump says it is not fair, americans by millions of japanese cars every year and japanese cars every year and japanese by hardly any american cars and he is right. last year only 13,000 american cars were sold here injapan so why is it the japanese do not buy american cars like this one?

the real answer to curtailing north korea is china. like on so many other areas, china has been woefully inadequate and they could squeeze north korea economically, 90 percent of the imports and exports go through china and i think we have to tell the chinese that they have to put the wood to north korea at a much more serious way than they have done so far. >> dickerson: let's -- i want to move on to the president's executive order on immigration. he is considering maybe doing another executive order. what is your view about that? do you think it is possible to do with -- >> no. i think he ought to throw it in the trash. i think this executive order is so bad and so poisoned and it is, its genesis is so bad and terrible that he ought to just throw it in the trash can and for two reasons. first reason, it doesn't really make us safer. it doesn't focus on the areas where we really need to tighten up. they are, number one, on lone wolves, the last two major terrorist incidents in america didn't occur through immigrants but americans in tu

north korea on its border. things have not changed. the chinese do not like the north koreans either as a people or as a government and it is reciprocated. north koreans don't really like chinal and you can see there are a lot of meetings between the leaders of south korea and china. you don't see many meetings between the leaders of china and north korea. is a very, very sticky, difficult government to deal with but you have got to be careful because they are also and can be very fanatical about retaliating against what they see as aggression against of them. -- while i'm the in the curious position of representing american voters and , one of the things i have heard on the campaign trail and when ice the two supporters of donald trump, they feel they have been taken by europe.for a ride in europe has this happened of dialing 911 washington and hoping we six everything. we are not interested anymore in saving european bacon. what is it europe's response to that? your perspectives and to stand up for itself. >> i went to a lot of trump rallies and heard the same thing. i see your point. the response of europe to that biteople are a little struck by that point. i think the ge

china has more influence on north korea, more leverage on north korea given the trading relationship ween the two. president trump's change last week was a good thing, getting back to a better place with china, moving away from the confrontation he started over this issue that's so important to china, and that is taiwan and the so-called one china policy. this now creates an opportunity for the president to try to work with china to exert pressure on north korea to get it back to the table. >> as we have been reporting, this, the word of this missile launch came during dinner that president trump was having with the leader of japan, president abe, and that's interesting because president trump has sort of changed his rhetoric about japan. so, as you'll remember, during the campaign, he had said, well, it could be very well that japan will have to protect themselves, they may have to have their own weapons or even nuclear weapons, they may have to go it alone. the united states can't be the policeman for everybody. i'm paraphrasing. then here is what he said -- i'll play it for you --

china has said that it sees north korea testing these ballistic missiles as an issue between north koreae united states rather than one that involves china. russia also condemned the missile launch but are looking to see how president trump's policy towards them is going to develop on ukraine, on syria, on a number of issues. >> nic robertson, clarissa ward, guys, thank you very much, live from london. >>> still to come, a handful of administration staffers off to a rocky start, are we in for a major shake-up? e's got natural , no bitter aftertaste and she's calorie-free. so that's it? we made you a cake. with sugar? oh, no.

just cut off coal imports from north korea and china is bothered by north korea but they don't see itike we do. essentially donald trump has been on a collision course with china for quite a while now. the notion they're going to fall into line and they do what he wants them to do with north korea is an illusion. >> let's talk about what we heard from the president today at cpac. he talked about isis. i want to play a bit of that and get your reaction on the other side. take a look at this, steve. >> i have also directed the defense community to develop a plan to totally obliterate isis. working with our allies, we will eradicate this evil from the face of the earth. >> so, during the presidential debate, steve, then-candidate trump said he would give the pentagon 30 days to develop a plan to defeat isis, but obviously that deadline has now passed. why is there no plan? >> well, i mean, i hate to be trite about it, but it reminds me a lot about the obamacare challenge republicans have. barack obama had really made quite a bit of inroads in shutting down the money flow, the oil flow, t

political message gaining condemnation from around the world and criticism from russia and north korea's ally, china, chris. so they have been condemned but at the same time the purpose many people think was to wave a flag, bang a drum at the new administration that north korea wants to say, effectively being ignored by the obama administration to say we are here and perhaps want to negotiate and wants to make sure everyone recognizes north korea is a strong country. >> the question is what to do about it. china may be one country that would have some influence here. president trump had what he called a warm conversation with china's president last week. >> reporter: the china position is tricky. north korea is an ally of china and it trades with china. you can overemphasize the amount of influence that china has over north korea. they are two separate countries. china is still the key, though. i guess when talk about washington, chris, you can put it like this. this is no where close to a crisis. this isn't even a very strong foreign policy test for the new president. but what it is, though, in a s
