>> reporter: well, the latest we have here is from the joint chiefs of staff. ey have confirmed that there have been a number of unidentified projectile filed from north korea. it's been filed from the northwest of the country we believe heading in the east direction so towards the water, and then onto japan, but that's pretty much all we have at this point. 4:30 p.m. local time is when we're being told this was fired, these projectiles. that's just over half an hour ago now, and it does come just a number of days after north korea fired one believed to be short-range ballistic missile and rockets at multiple rocket launches on saturday morning local time as well, so clearly north korea is signaling something once again potentially signaling frustration at the lack of talks or at least the lack of the talks going the way they want to at this point. now, we did hear from north korea about the saturday launches and they effectively said that was part of a military drill. it was defensive in nature, so it will be interesting to see what they say about today's drill

>> dave, the latest information we have is from the joint chiefs of staff here, they say at least oneed around about 3:30 a.m. eastern time. it was fired from the northwestern part of the country and then headed in an easterly direction, so presumably firing over north korea and then potentially heading towards the waters off the east coast. now we know that this particular area is where there is a missile base, it's not one of the ones that north korea has admitted to, but it is one that we have seen short and medium range missiles fired from in the past. now as you say, it's been less than a week since we saw the last launch from north korea, north korea through state run media said of that it was just a routine drill saying that no one should be upset by it because what they launched actually fell within their own territorial waters. it has been down played by the u.s. and south korea, at least the first launch even the u.s. president donald trump tweeting that he was with kim jong-un and a deal will happen. we'll have to see what the range of this project tile is because that is k

i asked the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff in an open armed service hearing how many american military members were killed and woundedem by these iranian ied's, over 2000 was his answer. 2000. i've never heard any of my colleagues talk about that. the notion that foreign minister is a moderate when he was negotiating with secretary terry is belied by the facts. this foreign minister literally had the blood of american soldiers on his hands. i take these issues very seriously like my colleague from delaware does and there's a notion that our allies were not. some of our most important allies, israel, gulf arab states who we've been allies for four decades were adamantly opposed and they are the closest to iran. mr. president, thisio notion tht we will blame the demonstration and we keep talking president trump but he's getting advice from releasees and generals and admirals to reinforce our military presence in the region because they seek threats. in the media there's this narrative that the president is trying to drum up a war but what about the generals and what about general

will be the acting defense secretary as well as the secretary of state and the chair of the joint chiefs of staff that we conduct in those briefings the concern is the mixed messages coming from the white house donald trump himself has been in terms of the language on the one hand saying he's willing to sit down with the iranian leadership on the other hand using rhetoric that at times many say is nothing less than outright bombast so with a run we'll see what happens but they've been very hostile they've really been the number one. provocateur of tara this country in the you know representing their country but certainly our country has been very much involved because we're trying to help a lot of people out and i don't mind that at all we have no indication that anything has happened or will happen but if it does it will be met obviously with great force will have no choice so can really come the white house allow the u.s. to go to war with iran without the permission of congress. no in short it can't and the concern by many on capitol hill is that the white house is trying to craft an argument

the secretary of state's the acting defense secretary and the joint chiefs of staff chairman joseph dunford is because there's a great look confusion as to what the u.s. is trying to do in iran it certainly seems from what john bolton was saying is there was an escalating wish to finally confront iran for what he said were various various bits of shady behavior but then it turned out that the that the intelligence suggested at least so many people here on capitol hill that iran was simply acting in reaction to what the americans were up to here so there was a sense here that there is there a clear policy now what it appears the trumpet ministration has come up with in the last couple of days is you know we're just there to make sure that nothing does happen and in fact. the acting defense secretary before he went into the briefing said that any threat from iran have been quote have been quote put on hold so they're presenting it now as saying look our actions have actually you know they're bringing peace and tranquility took to the region and then he went on to save us. i'd say we're in a p

says north korea has fired several unidentified projectiles from its eastern coast saul's joint chiefs of staff said they flew up to two hundred kilometers before landing in the water it could be the first missile launch since a failed summit earlier this year between u.s. president donald trump and.

this is according to the south korean joint chiefs of staff.hey say the missiles were lost from -- on north korea eastern coast. they flew about 125 miles befor landing in the water. the us in south korea authorities are analyzing the details coming in. the site has been used for lunc new burst missiles in the past, most recently in 2016 with the field much of an intermediate range missile. this is the first time north korea has launched missiles since november of 2017. tensions with north korea have been high since the last summit between kim jong un and president trump. it happened back in february. the two leaders failed to come to an agreement went trump push for nuclear disarmament but refusing to give into kim jong un's demand to lift sanctions against north korea. most leaders that publicly discussed the possibility of a third summit taking place with president trump saying we sick out that his personal relationship with kim jong un remains very good. the white house says it is awar and it is monitoring that situation. this has been a fo

a good start of this year, we have general dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral richardson, chief of naval operations a couple months ago. we had the secretary of the army, mark esper. we engaged with the council for many years, when it is hard to become an integral part of the us industrial base. one of the first customers of the weapons portfolio senior management side and the raiders side, very proud of that. as we have branched out to the navy and air force with the trainer aircraft, we are building a factory in indiana. we have contracted businesses and support with all branches of the us armed forces which we are very proud of and we think this platform commander series has been helpful to us to understand the priorities, to have a dialogue on future priorities and challenges, how he is industry and academia can solve problems. we are pleased with partnership of the council of this program so before i hand it off to chris who will introduce the secretary in more detail i would like to introduce a special group, please identify your self, a group of young potential goo
