perspective from two other key countries in this north korean nuclear crisis, china for one, david mckenziee in beijing. will riply in tokyo with reaction from japan and unique insight of his own regarding north korea. we'll start with you regarding tokyo, first, what has been response from that nation to this latest provocation? >> condemnation, george, from the highest levels of the japanese government. we heard today and yesterday after the launch from both japanese prime minister, japan's chief cabinet secretary saying that japan will not tolerate this kind of thing. prime minister saying he'll bring this up with president trump at the g 7 meeting making north korea one of the main issues on the agenda there, which is what frankly, north korea wants. they did this hours before president trump's major foreign policy speech in saudi arabia. last week we saw them with that missile test just ahead of the major economic forum, one belt, one row. they know if they launch missiles ahead of major events, people will be talking about them, including the world leaders. >> we're given your extensi

alexander field in seoul and david mckenzie in beijing and matthew chance in moscow. talk to us about the reaction from south korea this hour. >> good morning. there are questions now whether or not pyongyang was test ago new missile given the fact it was reaching a higher altitude. don't forget this is at least the tenth ballistic missile that north korea has launched since the start of the year. it also comes just days into the term of the newly elected south korean president. in the aftermath of this ballistic missile launch, he convened a meeting of the national security council. he has condemned the latest launch but says that talks are still possible with north korea if north korea changes its attitude. just yesterday, a north korean diplomat said talks could be possible if north korea considered that conditions were right and top official in washington saying a possibility of talks if north korea met certain benchmarks toward denuclearization but the white house is calling on all ku countries to have victory enforcements and president trump saying that russia c

let's bring in international correspondent david mckenzie in beijing. e frightening claims by kim jong-un's regime? >> reporter: well, we can verify certain aspects of these claims, ana, and it is a very disturbing and successful, it appears, missile test from pyongyang, from kim jong-un, who according to the state media personally supervised the launch of this missile. now, what we do know, what lines up between their account and experts and u.s. officials, this was a missile launch that appears to be a medium-range ballistic missile fired from northwest of the capital. it flew at a very high altitude of around 1300 miles towards the east sea, the sea of japan, and landing somewhere close-ish to russia. it has really drawn condemnation from the white house, from president trump, from the chinese, and from the russian president verpla president putin who is here in china when china is hosting this trade summit which is a slap in the face to china. >> thanks. high rates of poverty, drug addiction and sexual violence part of the dark side of life on an ind

david mckenzie is joining us by phone. id, what more can you tell us about this new projectile launch of some sort? >> well, ana, this happened just moments ago, it appears, from the eastern part of the korean peninsula, pyongyang testing yet another projectile of some kind, potentially a ballistic missile from the eastern coastline heading in an easterly direction towards japan. we don't know much at this stage but what we do know, this has been a relentless series of tests of ballistic missiles and similar military action by kim jong-un in recent weeks. despite the trump administration calling on the regime to stop these tests and calling on china to help, it seems very little at this stage can be done to try and curb these efforts. the long-term effort appears to be the regime trying to put a nuclear warhead -- or test the capability of a nuclear warhead on one of these ballistic missiles. and it is certainly having people worried in this region what we do there now. i know in the last few minutes this projectile was tes

david mckenzie, we've heard about south korea and japan and of course beijing could be a player in tryingo thwart kim jong-un's desires with his missiles. what might we expect from beijing if this continues, david? >> reporter: certainly what the trump administration hopes is that china will use its economic leverage over north korea to try to slow or stop the progress of the north korean leadership of developing nuclear weapons. we've just got a response to this latest missile test from the chinese government. they are using very standard language on this particular test saying that they oppose any moves by north korea that break u.n. sanctions such as this and that they want all sides to get together and discuss, negotiation to try to ease the tension on the korean peninsula. but with these repeated tests like this, it seems that china's leverage as it is isn't necessarily working in slowing kim jong-un's move to develop nuclear weapons that threaten the region and beyond. and certainly that leads to questions, well, could china to more. at this stage it appears that they want to really

he is also -- we also find david mckenzie in beijing where the chinese president is hosting a delegationrth korea. david? >> reporter: that's right. and, matthew, there is not just the north korea delegation but many world leader here in beijing and make no mistake it's deep embarrassing that this missile test has happened right as xi jinping is hosting all of these leaders including putin and other leader. the ministry of foreign affairs telling cnn they oppose any moves from the north koreans like this missile test that break u.n. resolutions. they say everyone need to work together to calm the situation down. but it's also embarrassing because recently president trump and the u.s. has said that china hold the key to fixing the north korean problem by applying pressure on its close ally. well, it appears with this latest missile test that china's calls have really landed on deaf ears next door in north korea. >> we thank all of you you chiming in today and getting us up-to-speed. >>> a massive cybersaattack aft an anonymous researcher broke that attack up. a 22-year-old from the uk goe

david mckenzie joins ame now. north korea sent a small delegation.we were just reporting on their brace tick missile launch here last night? >> reporter: it's surprising that they went ahead with the launch, anna, given the fact they were given this invite to this very important meeting. so it really was a slap in the face in a way to the chinese leader xi jinping. and it raised eyebrows among those in attendance. it was slammed by the russians and the chinese. but it shows that they don't appear to really care or at least publicly care what the chinese think about their missile program. >> some of the leaders attending the summit are notorious for using strong man tactics in their county. president putin, erdogan. does participating in a summit like this give them credibility? >> reporter: what it does is gives them a place where they won't be judged and certainly will be brought into the fold of the massive investment plan that xi jinping is pushing. you had the leaders getting up at the podium and putting digs at the u.s. both the president of rus
