pressure from washington with powerful counter measures with deeply condemn the leaders of south korea and japan for using the eastern economic forum for their own clean political purposes their attacks on our self defense of means strengthening the hydrogen capabilities of north korea clearly diverged from the goals of the forum where we discussed the topic simply canonical peroration that was the head of the north korean delegation speaking at the eastern economic forum currently taking place in russia's far east our correspondent daniel hawkins is there and reports now on how crisis talks have been dominating the effect. north korean delegation the riving giving a speech just in the central hall to my left was very much something people waiting for it was a big media scramble to hear what they had to say quite predictably taking a strong uncompromising position saying their development of the nuclear program was something that was not up for discussion in the meantime in the hall just next door the leaders of russia south korea japan and mongolia were discussing also what to do about this cri

need to separate japan from south korea, united states from south korea. ething bad happens on the gran peninsula -- korean peninsula, what they would say is, if the united states and japan assist south korea, we will attack new york, washington, tokyo with nuclear weapons. be willing to sacrifice tokyo, washington, new oul? for se and we would be put in a difficult position. betty: even if new york is not the target, how could shinzo abe continue not to look at that as an option for japan? there are a large number of things we have to do before talking about nuclear weapons because we are currently trying to improve missile defense capabilities by introducing newer, more advanced, upper tier missile defense systems and also trying -- we have a reinitiated civil defense training based on missile attack scenarios. we are debating whether or not it is a good idea for japan to capabilities in order to make it difficult for offensivea to conduct missile operations against japan effectively. because north korea has recently launched three missiles and four in an

the president of south korea and prime minister of japan announcing the sanctions by the treasury department. the power for the treasury department to impose sanctions on any financial institutions and individuals that do business with north korea. he said he was surprised with the announcement that chinese financial institutions should cease and desist financial activities with north korea. that has been a significant concern with this administration as well as previous administrations. let's go to our white house corresponde correspondent. the president was on the floor saying if north korea doesn't change behavior, he will destroy them. now he is trying what you call a financial diplomatic tool. >> yes, indeed. those words are still hanging here at the united nations and throughout manhattan as other world leaders are having their final day. totally destroyed. this is what the white house is described as operating on multiple fronts and economic sanctions putting the squeeze on the regime and convinced kim jong un to drop his nuclear program. we than is not likely at all, but the involvem

south korea japan. nation and the security partnership in no the prevent that kind of consequences from my knowledge in japan and south korea are sticking to the idea that sanctions will force into dialogue that for the new york times japan's prime minister shinzo has called on the international community to stay united and force the sanctions but meanwhile even the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley said that maybe sanctions aren't working so why insist on them. sanctions and no walking because because sanctions are not team place yet and already have already adopted the sanctions. it's the time for us to start implementing them and. you know attempts to implement them effective the chinese cooperation is the inevitable indispensable so we're really trying hard to encourage china to implement you know important to sanctions are by the united nations security council give but there are and they so many of the sanctions which ducted will be able to say about ninety percent. in the export sanctions on

well, i think china will be very unhappy, japan, south korea, this is not a happy development, and onen addition to what already exists. in terms of washington, the rhetoric has been increasing over the last few weeks, over the last few months. how do you think a trump white house will deal with this? well, i think they have got to take a combination of actions. i think they will want to explore actions like saying that any more missile tests will be intercepted, if they can be. i think they will want to consider more reconnaissance flights near north korea. i think they will probably want to start taking some internal political actions against north korea, for example describing the fact that kim jong—un's grandfather on his mother's side was a japanese collaborator. the people of north korea need to know what kind of individual they have leaving the country. bruce, let's separate these two developments and take them one by one, starting with that development a few hours ago, which is north korea saying it had developed a hydrogen bomb. we have seen developed a hydrogen bomb. we have

missile defense system for south korea also increase amounts of highly sophisticated military equipment which trump this kindly allowing both south korea and japan to purchase and the infamously troubled after thirty five fighter jets also be added to that package a kind of bonus but not free of course but look forget that north korea is by no means the only threat to global security and america for decades iran has fueled the fire of sectarian conflict and threatening the region and causing so much by a lintz all nations of counts its most work to get them to isolate and all of those attacks are music to the ears of saudi arabia an american ally and fellow detractor of iran so of course riyadh was all too ready to sign a one hundred ten billion dollar defense deal with from neighboring qatar also agreed to buy over twenty one billion dollars worth of american military hardware now trump's approach to conflict is definitely pragmatic make a quick buck if you can right and clearly this guy can sell anything even managed to find a way to spin continuing america's sixteen year long war in afghanistan as the prime minister of. amistad has promised w

and the three countries that i just mentioned -- japan, south korea, and the united states -- participated in that show of force with south korea and the u.s. actually dropping bombs at the end of it at a test site. japan didn't actually cross over the peninsula out of historic sensitivities. but those three countries work very closely together. then you have north korea, which is the rogue state, the pariah state, pretty much everywhere in the world. but the only thing, the only country that north korea considers something of an ally, something of a benefactor, is china. china has expressed condemnation in the past because of north korea's activities. but china has not necessarily done, according to many sources and according to many u.s. government officials, all that it can to rein in north korea. so the question is, why not? and most analysts and most experts will tell you it is because they do not want to see north korea collapse, they don't want to see potentially millions of refugees spilling out over the border into china. and they also don't want to see the government of north kor

very much indeed for your time what robert kelly from south korea's pusan national university believes this launch will trigger to south korea and japan to further boost their civil defense systems. regular south koreans are like my friends my family my students really have no idea what to do at all and i think you're probably going to start to get that you may recall that the government of guam handed out flyers about what to do if there was a nuclear blast near guam i think that's coming here japan has already started with civil defense and putting people in shelters i also think missile defense is the future of the north koreans are going to build missiles then i think japan and south korea going to build missile defense you know something of a measure for countermeasure kind of arms race but you know missile defense is expensive it doesn't really work very well so the north koreans don't stop building missiles missile defense ultimately won't be enough and then there will be pressure for air lots more so it's coming on al-jazeera including the latest talks on syria's civil war and there may soon be a deal don't use fighting in som

korea but japan and south korea have a common geographical issue.we would work with japan and south korea can work more effectively together and we can use her geographical to our advantage. if you look at defense terms, deterring north korea requires our three countries work together and as was said, i agree with what you had to say. and that is if a country wants to change the status quo through power, we need to work together with united states and south korea are the united states and australia in this trilateral or multilateral arrangement. and for the past ten years the u.s. japan south korea and australia we have been conducting strategic talks also from a different perspective from the philippines which is part of the island chain concept in the navy is not able to go into the philippines recently and japan might be able to fill in some of the gaps that exist with united states concert with the philippines. also with vietnam is a country that has issues with china and vietnam has worked with that with the pku in different operations. there's

south korea a heightened state of alert. this really caps off a tense week. it started on tuesday when north korea had that missile test which flew over japan. right afterwards south korea had a military exercise which demonstrated how they could go after the north korean leadership in the event of a war. that was followed up by another kpr exercise that had military from guam, japan, south korea. you had b-1 bombers, stealth fighters over a course of ten hours demonstrating their advanced technologies and unique ways of waging war. during all of that north korea condemned those but they kind of brushed it off, those tests. now you have this today, these latest developments. >> we do. ian lee, we appreciate it. thank you. please stay with us because i want to go to will ripley immediately, who is joining us from tokyo. will, i know you were monitoring that announcement on korean state television. tell us what was said. >> reporter: so they have confirmed, isha, their sixth underground nuclear test since 2006, the fourth nuclear test under the current supreme leader kim jong-un. the announcement began talking about a pilot bureau meeting. thes

south korea are ready to fight. don't forget that china and south korea are also conducting naval exercises and war exercises just north of japanention, the u.s. and north korea -- the u.s. and south korea, japan working together but at the same time china and russia are certainly working together to destabilize the u.s. power and power with allies in the region. maria: i think you make a great point about that. they all have political ambitions and motives and they don't necessarily want the u.s. to get any stronger. lea great tough. lea gabrielle. stark new warning about e-cigarettes, one puff and what it can do to your body and specifically your heart. big john deere recall to warn you about this morning. we will tell you which vehicles are affected when we come back. stay with us. i count on my dell small business advisor for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. ♪ . . . pills block one and 6 is greater than 1. flonase changes everything. maria: welcome back, markets are looking lower this morning in the u.s., take a look, fractional losses, nasdaq 4 and a half. a co

we make clear that we have the ability to defend ourselves and our allies, south korea, and japan. from any attack. >> hears when that language got strident. they warned north korea not to threaten the united states, its territories or allies with a nuclear weapon, or it is lights out for kim jong-un, his regime, and his nation. listen here. >> we are not looking for the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. as i said, we have many options to do so. >> united nations ambassador, nikki haley called an emergency meeting for tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. to determine the next steps on the international front. north korea claimed at its test earlier today to have detonated a powerful hydrogen bomb. that claim is not being challenged by u.s. officials saying quote we are highly confident this was a test of an advanced nuclear device. but we've seen so far is not inconsistent with north korea's claims. at the same time, the president is rattling sabers at kim jong-un, he's looking at economic options to tighten the screws. one possibility is to stop u.s. trade with anyone

the saudisjoin iran, japan, south korea, brazil, mexico, belgium and hosts russia in the 32—team tournamenta had al muwallad's second—half winner helped them beat japani—o injeddah. it takes the saudis to their fifth world cup and sends australia to the play—offs. australia needed a big win over thailand in order to confirm their place in russia — tomi juric got them ahead. with eight minutes to go, pokkhao anan equalised for the thailand. hertha berlin's matthew leckie got the winner for the socceroos, but saudi arabia's win means australia were pushed down to third and will face syria in the playoffs. if we hadn't got one a bit earlier, then we would have opened them up a bit. but that's just... then we would have opened them up a bit. but that'sjust... like i said, it is heartbreaking for the players. they didn't get their rewards tonight for a brilliant performance. syria drew 2—2 with iran in tehran to finish third in group a. they broke through iran's defence for the first time in the 13th minute — tamer haj mohamad heading home from close range. iran went ahead 2—1, but syria pushed

allieswe met with our japan and south korea. a lot to talk about, so we had a good conversation with them. the president reassure japan and south korea but they talked about strategies going forward. iran, that was the topic of conversation throughout the week. i think everyone was talking about the destabilizing activities they continue to do throughout the middle east, whether it is in syria, iraq, lebanon, yemen, and the list goes on. this is something we will continue to talk about in the forward with so we can stop reckless behavior. meeting with secretary boris johnson as well as the dutch foreign minister on human rights reform. we talked about the fact that it ofded to be representative its name. we have a lot of bad actors on willcounsel, president vice president spoke about it and the need to see better quality countries on that counsel in order for it to be effective. obviously for the united states to stay on it. if we do not see changes in the human rights council, we will continue to advocate that we will do it on o

general assembly with japan and south korea that's upcoming but this crisis has been escalating let's take a listen and let's look over some of the events that have taken place over the last month or so. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country and a generation these sanctions will cut deep. you will feel good about ginning today's resolution builds on what we're already the deepest cutting sanctions ever leveled against north korea those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. now to top it all off we had a speech by donald trump at the united nations general assembly in which he invoked the possibility of quote totally destroying north korea not exactly friendly words furthermore he referred to north korea's leader as rocket man some kind of pop culture reference probably insulting not exactly clear what he was referring to but as you can see the crisis is escalating now all eyes are on the upcoming meeting when donald trump has his sideline meeting with japan and south korea we're told to expect some kind of important announcement ab

you know, in this conversation we have referred already to traditional allies in asia like south korea and japanxico, we could talk about european allies in nato starting with angela merkel‘s germany, what do you think they believe is happening in washington right now?” they believe is happening in washington right now? i think they probably think, just like i do, that we have elected quite an unusual person to be president of the united states, and that he is kind of an original number. but at the same time he is president. and he will be president three at least one term in office, and so they have to figure out how best to deal with that. i think they probably also have some competence, as do i, that both events competence, as do i, that both eve nts o n competence, as do i, that both events on the one hand and fundamental national interests on the other hand will cause us to ultimately behave more or less the same way we have been in the past yea rs same way we have been in the past years and decades. and i think we are seeing some of that playing itself now. and it has only been eight month

on the issue of defenses in japan and south korea, we've certainly been talking to japan and south korea about beefing up defenses and themselves take action in the event of an attack. even those discussions have gotten chinese attention. as you know chinese have been vocal to the opposition of thaad deployment in south korea which we have moved ahead on now and gone ahead and deployed over and above their objections. we have made clear the japanese are seeking additional defensive systems to enable them to ward off an attack on north korea. it is quite clear i think already to the chinese that this is an area that is going to be further developed if we can't rein in the threat from north korea. >> it's my view short of one of those two actions, i think we're going to continue down this path where kim jong-un will continue to move forward on this nuclear program. that will leave only the option, the military option, which there's no good to come from that. we know if betake that action they could target seoul and lives could be lost, american lives. it could come to that. or the alternat

it will probably help a lot with both japan and south korea for them to say, the americans want this. there is an american framework here. we're not doing it because korea and japan love each other, we are doing it because americans want this. but the damage to our relationship with china, that will exist and we will need a good explanation for why we are doing this and i would suggest one of them can be, the chinese are invited to this exercise, too, as long as they meet certain conditions but the conditions may be very difficult for china to meet. democracy would be one of them. [laughter] >> sorry for the long answer but i think what you're raising for all four of us is really the grand strategy going forward the next 10 or 20 years. when a new president comes in, he asks certain kind of questions that if you are a what tank person you think a stupid question but actually some of the new president's questioning is really quite profound. how did we get here and where we trying to go over the next 25 years? >> we have not much time left but i'm going to take some questions. please tr

korea, and leap into the next action. thank you. pres. trump: thank you very much, everybody. we will be discussing trade transactions and trade deals with japan and south korea. that will be very important, but this is something that will take precedence. thank you for being here, and we will see later. thank you. >> is dialogue still possible with north korea? >> thank you. announcer: coming up shortly, treasury secretary mnuchin goes into detail on the new sanctions against north korea, but first, a look at a meeting president trump had with the president of ukraine. pres. trump: thank you very much. it's wonderful to have president poroshenko with us.

our alliance with south korea and japan has never been stronger than it is today. we share a goal for a world where nations respect the sovereignty, respect the sovereignty also of other nations and promote peace. thank you, very much. ask president moon to say a few words. >> the provocation coming from north korea, to the japanese people, must have gone through a big shock. i understand the huge concerns the japanese people may have because of this. i would like to express that i feel compassion for the japanese people in this regard. the three leaders have met, in july in germany and we should -- and we issued a joint statement. through this joint statement, we set a firm foundation for close coordination between the three countries, based on which we are working closely with the international community to impose sanctions and put pressure on north korea. and through the u.n. general assembly, the three leaders have come together and made speeches at the general assembly. and we met with leaders of the major countries in a bilateral way and we have an understand

experts think happened is another round in the escalation between north korea, united states, south korea and japannorth korea wants to be seen as a player and recognized for their nuclear prowess. their nuclear capability as the ultimate weapon in their arsenal because they fear that the united states and south korea are trying to take over the korean peninsula. remember on the korean peninsula, the korean war from the 1950s is still ongoing. there is no peace treaty. there's a truce but over the past 50 years or so, there has been a back and forth between the north and the south about dominance in this particular region. and the north sees the nuclear weapon as the ultimate weapon that it can have to defend itself. the united states of course is very concerned about the unpredictable leader, kim jong-un having this sort of weapon. but many experts will tell you that the option that the united states has to try and stop this escalation, to stop this development are limited. north korea has been under sanctions now for the better part of a decade yet it is still able to acquire materials to continu

followed through in aid of arming south korea with nuclear weapons is a possibility the sale of more military hardware apparently is going to go through to south korea and to japan and then of course there is this backdrop of trade and the issue with south korea and the united states especially the steel industry there undercutting the american market i mean there's a lot of dynamics playing out here. how do you see this in conclusion what is the solution here when you have friction on a trade level with south korea and the united states. what i see happening in the us south korea relationship and which i have already seen happen to some extent in the us china relationship in the trump administration is that the trade aspect and the security aspect must be dissin tangled there will be certain linkages at some at some level because trump has made it so but trump is also coming to understand that these are very serious issues in their own right and need to be dealt with by the individual in dependently by them and so he might be disentangling some of those issues what do you make of president putin's involvement in the us in recent days he's seemed to be somewhat

korea. japan and south korea have a common geographical issue. what is it that japan can do? what is it that south korea can do? we -- once the united states, japan and south korea are able to work for effectively together then we can use our geographical advantage -- our geographical conditions to our advantage. if you just think of this in defense terms, deterring north korea requires that our three countries work together. >> and as he said, i agree with what he had to say and if there's a country that wants to change the status quo through power, we need to work together with the united states and to south korea or the united states and australia in this try lat ral or in the multi-lateral arrangement and so for the past ten years, the u.s.-japan and australia have been conducting strategic talks also from a different perspective. there is the philippines which is part of the island chain concept and the united states navy is not able to go into the philippines recently and japan might be able to fill in some of the gaps that exist with the united states in concert with th

korea strikes again firing a missile over japan. reaction around the world has been swift and sharp that japan has condemned the law south korea's military says it's increasing surveillance. several iranians among the dead as suicide bombers launch attacks in southern iraq killing at least sixty people. and deal or no deal confusion at the white house again over an agreement to protect the dreamer's. north korea stepped up the tension again and its nuclear standoff with the u.s. firing another missile at launch from near the capital pyongyang flying over the japanese island of hokkaido before landing in the pacific ocean about two thousand kilometers to the east of the country japan's prime minister shinzo avi has condemned the launch and he's called for international action. now is the time for the international community to come together the latest sanctions need to be imposed in full north korea needs to be made to understand that if it continues on this path there is no bright future for it the u.s. military says the latest strike didn't pose a threat to north america or the u.s. pacific territory of guam but it did identify it as an

i think we have been working very very closely with both south korea and japan but also with all the other countries in the asia-pacific region on confronting the north korea challenge. obviously we have a very close and continuing conversation with both japan and korea not just the state department that the department of defense on managing our alliances. obviously we have been talking to both japan and korea as the chairman mentioned about additional defensive needs and capabilities that they may have that they want to move ahead on and so i think the reassurance that we have been providing them with and the constant close communication with them and with others in the region has been significant reassurance to them about our ongoing commitment and defense of our allies. >> thank you very much. secretary billingslea can the u.s. and could you identify the top say 25 firms that compose of north korea's ballistic network and if so would you be willing to provide the information to this committee in classified form if necessary? >> ranking member, yes we would be pleased to have a clas

should we wait until they attacked south korea, japan, the united states, or until they provide other nuclear weapons to areas, not necessary states? guest: some good points. first, on china. china is north korea's only ally, only the factor i like an friend in the world -- de facto ally or friend in the world. what they do believe is they have something of a buffer stage in the north korean state, and they are not interested in seeing a greater presence of naval forces in their neighborhood. as i have said before, they are interested in having north koreans controlled, that would be fine for them, and having the peninsula divided is probably not something the chinese would worry about, but they are worried about this situation will get out of control. there was situation not long ago, contrary to what you suggested, that the chinese were announcing if there were hostilities begun by north koreans, they would stay out but if they were begun by the united states, they would not stay out of the freight. that was not officially from the government. it came from official news sources. in

japan, south korea, nato have responded with swift condemnation. we have analysts. we begin with nbc's garrett hake. a concerning sunday. the president tweeted several responses. what all did he have to say? >> reporter: good morning. absolutely, about 7 1/2 hours after the test allegedly took place, the president responding with a series of tweets. he writes, north korea has conducted a major nuclear test. he says north korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to china. he concludes, south korea is finding as i have told them that their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. they only understand one thing. a couple of points there. the confirmation from the president that the white house does believe this was a nuclear test of some kind is notable given north korea sometimes boasts about things that haven't actually happened or boasts to talk up their claims here. again, the president tieing the north korea issue to china, trying to get china to weigh in and respond more forcefully to north korea. finally, the pointed c

the saudisjoin iran, japan, south korea, brazil, mexico, belgium and hosts russia in the 32—team tournament

they want to see that with china, south korea, japan. they also want russia to choke off north korea economically. and so you're going to see the united states really try to turn up the heat and i think you'll see that process begin tomorrow during that emergency meeting of the u.n. security council, richard. so a lot at stake here as north korea has escalated its nuclear provocations yet again, richard. >> that meeting 10:00 a.m. on a holiday monday, not that they are going to be observe that at the u.n. given what's happened. hans nichols, the question still remain, what is it that they will do -- excuse me, what is it they have done, lanchans, and h will they confirm that? what has been the posture if these tests have happened and if they were to verify this was a hydrogen bomb, would they declare that anyway because they don't want to give the hat tip, if you will, to north korea? >> you could see them declaring it to increase pressure to the united states, so it makes sense why they would come out and verify that and do that in some

korea's proves and national university believes this launch will trigger south korea and japan to further boost their civil defense systems. regular south koreans are like my friends my family you my students really have no idea what to do at all and i think you're probably going to start to get that you may recall that the government of guam handed out flyers about what to do if there was a nuclear blast near guam i think that's coming here japan has already started with civil defense and putting people in shelters i also think missile defense is the future if the north koreans are going to build missiles then i think japan and south korea going to build missile defense and you'll see something of a measure for countermeasure kind of arms race but you know missile defense is expensive it doesn't really work very well so the north koreans don't stop building missiles missile defense ultimately won't be enough and then there will be pressure for error. ok let's turn now to some of the day's other news says it was behind coordinated attacks in southern iraq at least sixty people
