global affairs correspondent elise labott is joining us from washington. they say about the ongoing fight against isis? >> reporter: you know, 16 years in, you know, the taliban are really controlling more territory than they have since 2001 when the war began. this morning on abc news general h.r. mcmaster, the national security adviser, really spoke about the fight that the u.s. is facing not just against the taliban and al qaeda but also about isis. take a listen. >> what's clear here in afghanistan is the stakes are high. i mean this is -- this is really the modern-day frontier between barbarism and civilization, and so with those high stakes in mind, recognizing that the taliban groups that we're fighting here, that the isis groups that we alongside really the afghan forces are really fighting, and we're just enabling them in the eastern part of the country, are a threat to all civilized peoples. and so the president has asked for a range of options and we'll give him those options. >> so the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan, general nichollson

elise labott, thanks very much. also thanks to nick paton walsh as well. >>> we are learning more about north korea's failed missile test. u.s. officials are saying the missile blew up almost immediately after leaving the launchpad. the test came shortly before vice president mike pence arrived in south korea. cnn's will ripley is in the north korean capital of pyongyang and he has more. >> reporter: most north koreans will never know about sunday's failed missile launch. that missile test fired from the eastern coastal city, home to a north korean submarine base and the same location where sim jong untried to launch a missile just last week ahead of president trump's meeting with chinese president xi jinping. north korea's supreme leader showed force over the weekend at the nation's day of the sun military parade. we saw a variety of new missiles that were on display, including what analysts are two new kinds ever potential intercontinental ballistic missiles that could potentially carry a nuclear warhead toward th

elise, y'lle the personal expert on this stuff. bill o'reilly a ctrovsial figure. he's also the most popular figure at fox news, garnered the highest ratings. big supporter of donald trump. talked a few weeks ago how he supported bill o'reilly even amid these new reports that he had to spend and fox had to spend to settle a number of sexual harassment allegations. i think it was $11 million. fox having to say goodbye to him, what does that say about this culture? trump can get away with all sorts of stuff, he can get away with allegations, but rules still apply to everyone else? >> corporate shareholders, i think, at the end of the day, are the reason o'reilly had to be forced out. when you have this many millions of dollars in payments going out and shareholders were not aware, it seemed -- there seemed no way that this was going to be the inevitable end of the road. and then just yesterday, the most recent spate of allegations that an african-american secretary had been called heinous names by mr. -- allegedly by mr. o'reilly. it just sealed the coffin, i think.

elise labott at the united nations. elise, we are waiting to hear from the secretary of state in a big moment in this debate and discussion with the tensions rising in the korean peninsula. what do you expect to hear this morning? >> reporter: well, john, we expect the u.s. to kind of make culture, secretary tillerson making clear to the international community, this is really the top national security priority for the administration, and that means that they want to handle this problem. they don't want to kick it down the road, as they say, previous administrations have done. and so, secretary tillerson will be telling the council that if north korea continues with its provocative behavior, we're talking another nuclear test or an icbm, that long-range missile test that could hit the continental united states, they need to be ready to put additional sanctions on north korea. that includes china. that has a lot of leverage on north korea. but at the same time, secretary tillerson is saying that the u.s. wants to have di

elise labott following the u.n. security council meeting and we'll bring you a live picture of that, but first we'll start with matthew chance. no meeting yet as far as we know between the secretary of state and vladimir putin and the secretary did just walk out of a four-hour meeting with the foreign minister. >> reporter: later on in a few hours from now and before that, there will be a press conference and we expect that to be with the secretary of state as well. it has not been confirmed that there will be a meeting between vladimir putin and the secretary of state, but that was always a possibility and the kremlin said it was only today and not on the agenda and we're considering it, and of course, in the past the secretaries of state from the united states particularly on their first visit to the russian capital always have an audience with the russian president so it would be considered, i think, it would be interpreted as a slap in the face to washington, a slap in the face to the trump administration if suc

believe me. >> cnn's elise labott joins us from washington. hello, elise.e a concern that trump is ceding too much of his authority to the military, to his generals? >> it certainly looks like a more mill taristic policy. he's ceding authority to them in the field but the military has a saying that they like to emphasize which is, you cand can delegate authority but you cannot delegate responsibility. he is the commander in chief and does own the decisions, the consequences of the decisions that are made by the military in his name and on his behalf so it remains to be seen when he likes to take credit when things are going well in the military operations are successful, but some of these military operations have had civilian casualties and while he's sharing the kind of credit, it remains to be seen whether he's going to share the accountability when things go wrong. it's pretty clear that as he learns more about, you know, and grows into the role as commander in chief, he is getting used to the kind of trappings and the big weaponry of the u.s. arsenal. i

>> i think elise is right.ke happened, i thought if this is a proportional response, and that's what the strategy is, then it may stop future chemical attacks. the problem was, is that this president hasn't had a strategy for anything except get on twitter and so we don't really know what the thinking is. we don't know what the strategy is. i personally believe somewhat cynically that most congresspeople would rather not vote on any of this stuff as they have showed before. they are talking about it, but -- it probably is constitutionally required at some point. >> he has gotten, i mean, pretty universal support for what happened last night. for just that action. although there's some republicans, some conservative voices out there, right, who have said, wait a second, this is not what you ran on, this is not what you said you would do in syria. does he risk alienating some of his base? >> definitely. you've really seen a lot of trump's grassroots supporters, you know, who really embrace more of the american-fi

maybe there will be, but this could be a critically important session, elise. >> i think, you know, look, for years, secretary of state kerry was saying when he was negotiating with foreign minister laugheroff. i don't have any leverage. the sh kno the russians know the u.s. won't take any military action. tillerson will take a very strong approach of making russia culpable for assad's action and this is a strategic risk for you now and he's going -- the u.s. having just bombed the syrians and the maybe they will again and i this does strengthen his and. on the putin meeting. it's on, it's off. right now the kremlin is not saying. >> right now they are saying it's not going to happen. >> they are playing with him a little bit. rex tillerson when he was chairman of exxon mobil. he went to russia and got a friendship prize from putin at the time so he's someone known to the russians. >> and he's -- he shade during his confirmation hearings that this is a different job and his customer is the president and the united states and not exxon mobil and it is important to point out that this toug

the key to this is china and the chinese can put the brakes on this. >> so elise, will china, can china step up to the plate on this? >> i think there is certainly much more that they can do. they have taken some steps. to be fair, in the recent weeks they've caught owl coall coal i and stopped all air china flights between pyongyang and beijing which i think is a pretty significant symbolic move. i think the u.s. is looking for them to do more. i think one thing that really struck president trump is that china has 90% of north korea's trade. so i think they're looking to cut trade. i think they want north korea to cut oil shipments as they have done briefly in the past. i think klein is really walking a very delicate balance here. certainly they're getting frustrated with north korea and they're sending very clear signals not to take a nuclear test, not to push this too far towards the brink. but i also think there is a limit, they don't want to see any collapse of the regime because that will destabilize china right on their border. president trump i think has been playing them pretty

elise, let's talk about china. the president of china and the president of u.s. had a meeting.sible during that meeting they worked out some kind of strategy when dealing with north korea and it seems that maybe the u.s. wouldn't say certain things about china and china would do certain things about north korea? is it possible something was worked out? >> i don't think it was that transactional at this point. i think what president trump is doing, my understanding is when they've been doing this review of the north korean problem and going back over the negotiations over the few years, president trump was really struck by the idea that you never really had maximum leverage and the idea that china holds, like, you know, about 85% of north korean trade. that really i think what you've seen from his comments and from what he's been doing in this meeting with president xi at mar-a-lago that they really see china as the linchpin in this pressure upon north korea. that's why president trump -- i mean, i don't know if he has his full strategy right now in terms of how he wants to deal

elise, mccain talked about trump's mixed messages to u.s. allies. but can his words be confusing for unfriendly regimes, too, like north korea? "not happy" can be hard to interpret. no? >> it can be hard to interpret and they don't know what he would do if they did take such action. a lot of times north korea takes actions to provoke and wants to get attention. but they don't really know. i think that's what president trump is trying to do here. i think one of the problems is that president trump doesn't understand the power of his words. sometimes he does want to send messages, but he doesn't -- i don't think he's had enough time on the job to know what leaders, unpredictable leaders like kim jong-un, how they're going to interpret and hower in's going to proceed. so i think it is a very careful balance. he did say some kind of positive things about kim jong-un about the fact that he was kind of buttering him up, the fact that this was a young leader that took over, that he was a smart cookie for the way he's been able to hold on to power. but i th

him to go too far and to the point where we might actually retaliate with a military response. >> elise little bit about klein. has china shown any sign that they're ready to handle north korea differently than they have in the past? >> well, there's growing signs that china is growing increasingly frustrated with north korea. you've seen them turn back some shipments of north korean coal. they've cut their imports of north korea n coal which is a bg source of revenue for the regime. you've also seen some editor yals editorials recently close to the chinese state government that say north korea needs to stop its provocative actions because north korea could see china stop sending coal -- oil to north korea. i mean north korea really relies on chinese oil. they use a lot of coal for their energy but they use it for the military. they use it for transport. they use it for agriculture. and china holds 85% of north korean trade. so i think as president trump has been working with his team and learning more about past negotiations and why they failed with north korea, i think there's a recog

. >> cnn's global affairs correspondent elise lavin. what do we know about these threats and how seriously u.s. officials are taking them? >> reporter: these kind of threats from north korea are nothing new. they're famous for their fiery rhetoric. but given that the "uss carl vinson" is headed to the korean peninsula, will be with the japanese carriers, those threats are to the u.s., but you heard defense secretary zwrjim mattis general about how they don't take north korea's threats of this nature all that seriously because they're not really good to their word when they make those threats. but given the increased tensions right now, fred, obviously everything north korea says is very concerning, and this is really seen the missile and nuclear threat seen as one of the greatest threats facing this administration. the administration will be briefing senators next week on the u.s. military posture in the korean peninsula. today korea also kind of added australia to the list of threats because australia has been saying that it considers

i'll start with you, elise. was mcconnell right, were some of these shifts inevitable?, i think that republican leadership is starting to feel a little bit more reassured that president trump is learning on the job. that as he is learning the enormity of some of the policy issues that are out there, that he has shifted some of his, you know, more out there positions, such as wanting to label china a currency manipulator and then after meeting with the chinese president and meeting with advisers who have counselled him on the issues at stake with china, he suddenly has abandoned that position. >> peter, let me let you listen to how sean spicer explained it in his press briefing on thursday. >> respectfully, i think you can look at what you're referring to as a shift in a lot of ways. if you look at what's happened, it's those entities or individuals in some cases or issues evolving towards the president's position. >> what do you make of that? >> what i make of is we're not dealing with a politician, we're not dealing with a conservative, we're not dealing with a republi

for more let's discuss with our panel global affairs correspondent elise labott.correspondent clarissa ward. and our military and diplomatic correspondent john kirby, former spokesman at the pentagon and state department. this is going to make the north koreans very angry, very nervous. the "uss carl vinson," that battle group comes in and begins joint exercises with their arch enemy south korea that always generates not just nervousness but a reaction from north korea. >> it typically does generate a reaction and i think you can be assured the pacific command will be watching this to see if there is a specific tangible reaction to the exercise. but i talked to folks in the navy this morning and tell me this was an exercise although not long planned done in in the context of the recent provocations was not done in answer to yesterday's missile test but a chance to continue to hone some capabilities, some naval capabilities but to send a strong message we have a military presence in the region and it's potent and powerful and it's something that north needs to take

elise is right. it's mixed signaling. the problem is within signal to one country is a global signal. so even when president trump is talking about nafta, it affects south korea and it affects north korea and so on. >> you know what, colonel? i wonder is it in part strategic when you hear the president who in his interview almost sounds like he's empathizing with kim jong-un saying what a huge responsibility it would be to be 26 or 27 and to now, you know, have this leadership responsibility. in your view, you know, is that being philosophical or is he, president trump, using that in some way as a signal to north korea or strategic in some way? >> i think it's definitely a signal to north korea. i think what it does it also humanizing the north korean leadership and that's kind of hard to picture when you're dealing with such a, frankly, brutal regime. but what it does from a strategic standpoint is it shows a pathway forward to negotiations. secretary tillerson had mentioned that we would seek to negotiate with the north

cnn global affairs correspondent elise labott is here first. question to you before hearing this was, where is the president? because it was, we're threatening to pull out of nafta -- >> right. >> now we're going to regoernt it. where does it stand now? it sounds like he's standing with both. >> well, i think this is vintage president trump. i mean, i don't think the canadians or the mexicans thought that president trump would really pull the u.s. out of nafta. it has been renegotiated about 11 times since it was first instituted, and it does need every few years some kind of updating for modernization, for cyber things, for job creation. and when you talk to mexican and canadian officials, i don't think anybody really thought that president trump would pull out, because it is a shock -- it would abe shock to the system. yes, the u.s. has lost some jobs to mexico, to canada, but the jobs that it's created. the u.s. chamber of commerce says that because of this trade and integration, that has created about 14 million jobs. and so, mexicans and c

we have elise labott in studio with more.reat to have you in studio. >> rex tillerson is chairing the united nations security council. this is all of an effort to bring more attention to the north korean effort and show everybody this is really the top priority of the trump administration. i think it sends not just a message to the world, but also to north korea. yu have rex tillerson today at the united nations security council calling for more sanctions if north korea launches another nuclear test or tries another test missile of intercontinental ballistic missile. the long-range missile that can hit the united states. he is also talking about possible direct talks with north korea. >> that is the difference. >> yeah. let me read you about what he told npr last night. when he was asked about whether he would have direct talks. he said our approach to north korea is to have them change their posture toward any future talks. obviously that is how we like to solve this. north korea has to decide they are ready to talk about th

elise, what else are you learning? >> at about 4 p.m.me, a little over an hour ago, north korea test launched a ballistic missile. it landed in the sea of japan. we don't know the range of the missile but clearly this is a provocation by north korea coming on the heels of a very big meeting today by secretary of state rex tillerson, who essentially put the world on notice that if north korea is going to continue with these missile launches with perhaps another nuclear test that the u.s. wanted to see much more action from the international community and he did not rule out the need for the u.s. to take military action if north korea continued its behavior. take a listen to secretary tillerson to the u.n. security council earlier today. >> all options for responding to future provocation must remain on the table. diplomatic and financial lefers -- levers of power will be backed up with military action if necessary. we much prefer a negotiated solution to this problem but we are committed to defending ourselves and our allies against north

. >> elise, 30,000 foothill. there is a troubling moral authority.d states doesn't speak out about regression and democracy, who does? >> no one. i think that we are -- you have -- like france will pickup the baton, u.k., western europe, australia. you'll have various countries stand up, but that's also we surrender our vantage point as being a force of moral authority around the world. the idea of american exceptionalism on many levels i do think what president trump american exceptionalism suffered a far greater blow than ever with barack obama. >> that's a tough statement, but i know some conservatives that would agree with you on that. >>> all right, thank you all, joan, carol, elise. after the break we're headed into overtime. stay tuned. think again. this is the new new york. we are building new airports all across the state. new roads and bridges. new mass transit. new business friendly environment. new lower taxes. and new university partnerships to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov safety isn't a list of boxes t

elise? >> well, i mean, i think that's true to some extent. he does have a very strong national security team with general mcmaster, with defense secretary mattis and they're certainly going to direct him in the right course in terms of military action, whether it would be appropriate. but i think the president doesn't really understand the power power of his words sometimes. he is giving messages to kim jong-un, but when he says we could have a potential conflict with north korea, absolutely. i think he doesn't realize that the north koreans might be, you know, prone to take some kind of provocative action to test it. >> gordon, the administration also sending south korea some mixed messages this week. the president, president trump saying south korea should pay the $1 billion tab for the thad missile defense system. mcmaster told south korea that the u.s. would pay for it. so here was mcmaster this morning trying to off some clarity. >> what i told our south korean counter part that the deal is in place. what the president has asked us to do

. >>> i want to bring in cnn global affairs correspondent elise lavett. ambassador nikki haley and secretary rex tillerson seem to be at odds over the next moves in syria. we played their countering narratives at the top of our show. how do world leaders decide which one to listen to? >> well, i'm not sure if the message is really different, but maybe the tone as opposed to the substance, ana. clearly this administration wants to focus on isis, wants to defeat isis, then mo of to some kind of political collusion in syria. secretary tillerson is saying that that's kind of in the distance, and i think you also hear something very similar from nikki haley, maybe she's a little bit stronger in saying the u.s. is going to have to work on that. i think there is a kind of consensus right now that the key to this is really russia. the u.s. had always said that it felt like russia needed to be part of the political solution. and i think as secretary tillerson goes out to moscow, later in the week he'll be at the g7 tomorrow meeting with all the leaders, there need

. >> let's discuss this with cnn global affairs analyst elis elise labott and rick francona.iously is the u.s. taking these threats to north korea striking and sinking a u.s. aircraft carrier? >> well, fred, i don't think they're taking the threats very literally, but they're taking them seriously. you heard a -- we saw a statement just a short time ago from pentagon spokesman gary roth. let me read a little bit to you. it said we call on the dprk -- that's the official name for the democratic peoples republic of north korea -- to refrain from provocative destabilizing actions and rhetoric and to make the strategic choice to fulfill its international obligations and commitments and return to serious talks. you have to traake this into context of the threats and the missile tests north korea has had over the last several months. this administration taking sh very seriously. president trump is expected to speak later tonight with the president of china, xi jinping and prime minister shinzo abe. the u.s. obviously working on a very tough strategy to try and force north korea bac

and elise labott is with us as well. elise, on these two issues, the allegation that russia used cyber warfare into interfere in the u.s. election and bashar al assad used chemical weapons to kill of those civilians, including children, lavrov was consistent on both. show me the evidence. we don't accept it. we're ready to have an international investigation but you don't show us any of that evidence. >> that's right. tillerson is almost saying, it's a fact. we don't even know to show you evidence. we don't know what happened in the meeting but it's clear that tillerson didn't have a smoking gun in his pocket yet he's talking about relations being at a low point, low level of trust. and i thought it was so interesting and so remarkable that these two ministers are sitting there and kind of acknowledging. usually there's a lot of pleasantries, they say we have differences but we're going to work through them and paper over it. these were two ministers that sat there and basically were bickering to one another in front of
