kim jong-un brought these principles in in his new year's address.e suggested the need to show willingness to respect and faithfully implement the three main principles of reunification of the fatherland. the principles are again autonomy, peace, and solidarity. sorry, autonomy, peace, and solidarity of the korean people. but given the state today, i would be surprised if there were anything beyond that. to bring about unification. if theree surprised was any discussion beyond that. i do not think we can expect any major changes. nothing new. expression of support. him promising to focus more on economic development and unity around to the two leader. thank you very much. >> thank you, james. we now turn to bob. bob: as some of you were, i was earlier today looking at the future of the .orean peninsula that is pretty dismal. so going back and looking at the ,ast is actually exhilarating somewhat fun, because what it demonstrates is we actually know something. and, there are some windows into the soul of the country that should help us understand what

a better sense of who's actually never coming back and who is still around and whether or not kim jong-un has changed the normal procedure under kim jong-il of sending people to the countryside for three months, or a year, or two years and then when they're reformed, they come back to pyongyang and boy will they behave themselves. we haven't quite seen that yet. we saw it once with tai yu tai yung hei. we don't know if he's going to fall into that pattern of dealing with his people. >> but i think with the election of a new party congress, i think we're going to -- i'm sorry, not a party congress, central committee. with the election of a new central committee i think we're going to have a better sense of who is in the upper echelon of the power in north korea and who is no longer there a you will though as bob pointed out, they sometimes just change and you can't look at that and necessarily, you know, interpret it as well this guy was purged because we threw away -- >> well, we threw around the word purge. >> yeah. >> and all we're talking about in some cases is replacement. >> right. >

and whether or not kim jong-un has changed the normal procedure under kim jong-il, of sending people to the countryside for three months or a year or two years and then when they're reformed, they come back and boy, will they behave themselves. we haven't quite seen that yet. chi-yun hey.e with we don't know if he's going to fall into that pattern of dealing with people as well. james: i think with the election of a new central committee, i think we're going to have a better sense of who is in the upper echelons of power in north korea and who is no longer there. although, as bob pointed out, they sometimes just change and you can't look at that and necessarily interpret it as well, this guy was purged because -- bob: we throw around the word "purge" when all we're talking about in some cases are replacement or held room or whatever you want to call it. so we just have to be careful with that. >> well, that is a good note on which to conclude. i'm sorry there are a couple of hands here they haven't gotten to. [applause] thanks to all of you and we look forward to seeing you back here

but certainly donald trump has enjoyed talking about kim jong-un.t he's also called him a maniac. he also said that he does deserve some credit as he manages to eliminate his rivals so well. christine? >> paula, he also said in that interview with reuters, donald trump said china can solve this problem with one phone call. the united states has tremendous influence over china and should push china to with one phone call end north korea's -- the problems with north korea. if china had that kind of influence, wouldn't it have already done that? >> well, it's a good point. the fact is we have to remember why china has this relationship with north korea. they are the biggest trading partner. they are certainly pretty much the only ally that north korea has. but carolilooi -- china does not north korea to collapse. they do not want 25 million refugees coming across their borders. if north korea collapses, then they have a u.s. presence on their border. china has many reasons for wanting to keep the north korean regime going, but certainly you can see the

donald trump says he'll have no trouble talking with kim jong-un. will that change after today's foreign policy meeting with henry kissinger? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> tensions among democrats are at a fever pitch right now as bernie sanders says he's in the race until the last ballot is cast. the split primary wins with hillary clinton and almost took both kentucky and oregon last night but the delegate math puts clinton even closer to the presidential nomination. >>> and frustration among sanders supporters is boiling after. at the nevada state convention this weekend, they shot down pro clinton speakers and the state party chair received death threats. now there's a growing fear among democratic party leaders the same kind of chaos could wreck the party's national convention in philadelphia in july. >>> presumptive nominee donald trump is already looking far ahead, releasing a list of potential u.s. supreme court picks. but there's new controversy. even as trump tries to develop foreign policy credentials by talking wi

the grandfather of kim jong-un. on the other side, you had other individuals with different backgrounds. tolerantn was not so of different ideas. he perceived any idea that was different from his as a threat to his national security. in the 1950's, he dealt with this by purging these people and labeling them factionalism. policies at stake, but the solution was to label them and purge them. when this happened a second time in 1967, and in both cases, the debate in the party was about economics. happened the second 1966-1967, they were labeled and created the system to prevent, again to eliminate pluralism and prevent it from happening again. it mandated ideological. . purity. unclehat we can see, the policies ofing the like those much incidences in the 1950's and 1960's. counseling -- he was challenging- he was economic reform. north korea would have controlled openings and eventually adopt a market economy. this challenged the imperatives regime, andun, the he eliminated him. and the mind of kim jong-un, he had to

kim jong-un has said he's not going to curtail his nuclear weapons.mprisons americans and has missiles shooting all over our allies. he threatens the united states. you know, there's a difference. look, i've been one that have advocated a new approach to north korea. i think the policy needs to change. we need to get retuussia, china japan and u.s. in a new approach, some kind of concessions to north korea in exchange for them behaving properly, stopping their bad behavior. but that doesn't mean that you just say okay, let's talk kim jong-un without a lot of advanced preparatory work. i think president obama deserves credit for china, for iran. iran is still a little murky but in the long run it is reduced tensions. but i think with north korea it has to be done very carefully. and i do disagree with nic, you can't be running for president and not have commander in chief credentials. you can't just shoot your mouth off and then change them. i think this is a advantage hillary clinton has. she was secretary of state. she can be commander in chief right

tv aired kim jong un's opening address on friday.he it's the first such gathering by the ruling party in 36 years. kim stressed his country has made achievements this year, including the launch of long range rockets. kim is also expected to emphasize his policy of simultaneously carrying out nuclear development and economic reforms. nhk world is in pyongyang to cover the congress. he's watched north korea for years and explains what kim jong un aims to accomplish with the event. >> reporter: kim jong-un is believed to have under scored his own achievement to date, such as nuclear and missile development. kim assumed the country's top force four years ago after his father's sudden death. he hadn't prepared beforehand. nor does he have any significant achievement under his belt. his immediate challenge was to solidify the support of those around him. so kim adopted a hard-line policy. he ordered the launch of two long-range ballistic missiles under the guise of satellite launches and the carrying out of two nuclear tests. the leader is

kim jong-un has delighted in launching missiles, and building nuclear weapons. serving several rocket launches in recent months. the u.s. dismisses his claims to have a miniature nuclear warhead. he said a hydrogen bomb explosion this year was, quote, thrilling. so there's no real sign of a policy change. and a u.s. think tank says satellite images from north korea show what may be preparations for a nuclear test. the regime invited nbc news to cover this congress. but they haven't let us in. instead, they took us first to a wire factory. then to a maternity hospital. >> this machine is a gift of kim jong-un. >> yes. >> reporter: in the capital, they're rehearsing for a major parade, a show of unity and power. but kim jong-un isn't about to give up his nuclear power, because that would be the end of him. his message that he won't strike first with nuclear weapons won't impress washington, and it won't stop the global sanctions against north korea. the world wants less talk from kim jong-un, and more action to reduce nuclear tension. kate? >> bill neely inside no

it turned out to be madeleine albright instead, but maybe kim jong-un won't get obama. maybe he'll just get john kerry, but i think he sees the possibility of leveraging the end-of-term legacy project the white house has been engaged in and setting the stage, especially if hillary clinton is elected to getting a deal like the agreed framework from -- from the failed agreed framework from her husband's administration >> you mentioned john kerry potentially going. you know what happens when high-level american officials go there and we have the sad continuing case of otto, a 21-year-old university of virginia studio, this kid has been sentenced to 15 years in hard labor in north korea for allegedly grabbing a propaganda banner from his room, part of sometimes maybe a frat initiation or something, an american held hostage, imprisoned, hard labor, 15 years. look at this young man. do you think that kim jong-un is trying to set up, as you say, a high level visit to release him potentially? >> sure. i think there's nothing more cynical than regimes like north korea or iran ta

leader kim jong-un is expected to solidify his power base.officials say the convention started 9:00 a.m. local time. local media including the central television have not reported on the event. international media including nhk have been allowed into the country for the event, but their movements are highly restricted. earlier in the day one of our crews said they had been brought to the front of the convention center that's hosting the gathering, but the journalists were not allowed to enter. people in pyongyang are throwing their support behind the political convention and paying homage to their leader. >> translator: we all hope the congress will be a success. i am sure it will. >> leader kim jong-un is believed to have delivered a speech and is likely to have praised the country's recent nuclear tests and long distance rocket launch as achievements. he is also likely to have phasizedis policy o puuing bot nucle devepment anconomic renstructi. >> rafae wor i senio urnalistith the associated press and has been covering north korea and is in

donald trump and kim jong-un talking nuclear weapons? that's the proposal from the presumptive republican nominee and said he'd be willing to sit down with the erratic leader of north korea. it would be a major change in u.s. foreign policy if that were to happen. trump's comments come as he moves closer and closer to securing the republican nomination with a win in the oregon primary last night. he's now just 62 delegates away from officially clinching. he is the presumptive nominee. the democrats are having their own unsettling issues right now. bernie sanders says he won't give in to calls for him to drop out. he's also criticizing the democratic leadership for not backing him with california looming ahead of the race to be expected to be the deciding factor. sanders scored by a healthy margin. but he couldn't knock off hillary clinton in kentucky. for her, it was another southern win with a very, very, very narrow margin of victory. less than 90 delegates away from clinching the nomination. if you add the super delegates and the pled

let's get down this idea of a sit down with kim jong-un.d off by policy experts but could there be some value to it? it is really so ridiculous? >> it's not a good idea. first of all, kim jong-un doesn't meet with foreign leaders. if you're dennis rodman maybe you'll get a meeting with him. secondly the problem is this. you don't have a face to face meeting with kim jong-un and reward bad behavior. here's a guy that's shooting off missiles, detonating nuclear weapons, threatening japan, south korea, the united states. he has several americans detained as prisoners on very phillip flimsy charges. if you have a meeting with kim jong-un you have to have an agreement about limiting their nuclear weapons or releasing an american. trump going in there and say he would meet with him it's disingenuous, it's wrong, it's reality tv foreign policy. it's not good national security. >> what about a vice presidential pick? >> he needs a foreign policy dimension because i am really worried if he ever becomes president, this is where i think hillary clinto

kim jong-un talks about nuclear war with the u.s.m your point, what do you think north korea's long game really is? >> wow it's really hard to see into the mind of a communism dictator. what we do know about their long term strategy is they want nuclear weapons and they want to be recognized as a giant power. they went a peace treaty to remove the united states from the korean peninsula and they want reyuan niunification of th peninsula. it's very complicated. >> he just touted the success of his country's nuclear prop. presidents bush, clinton and obama have condemned north korea for building nuclear weapons but none of them succeeded in slowing them down. do you think there's a way to stop north korea of acquiring nuclear weapons capable of reaching us? >> i don't think so, laura. they played bringsmanship for decades with various presidents. they're going to acquire the weapons. and there's no incentive for them to give them up. they'll give what happened to the gaddafi radio jet stream as an example. he was ultimately killed by h

i think we should be very clear here, kim jong un is an absolutely brutal tyrant.we should not be paying any heed to his words over the past few days. this is a regime that remains an extremely dangerous threat to u.s. interests, to the security of the u.s. homeland, to u.s. allies in asia. it is also, of course, a major homeland security violator. and we should be really on our guard with regard to the danger that the regime poses to u.s. and international security. >> right. he's even giving that speech in a suit and tie. so not in the more military garb that he normally wears. but everything he does, as we know, is a charade and it's for show. it's a facade. so i ask you, what is his nuclear capability? is it a bona fide threat to anyone, and to whom in particular, if so? >> well, north korea has already conducted at least four nuclear tests. we believe that north korea possesses ten to 16 nuclear warheads. its aim certainly is to enhance the warheads by around 2020. north korea has also been testing a range of intercontinental ballistic missiles. we believe tha

scarlet: who is kim jong-un communicating to?ignificant to the north korean people or is it significant to neighbors like south korea and china? important to the legitimacy of the government and its people. it's a way to protect north korea from attack. interest and north korea wants to survive, so it takes on this nuclear program because it feels that has even one nuclear weapon, the south aryans, the americans are not there to do anything about it. north korea looks at the united states of incredible -- as incredibly and predict the ball. they see us as crazy the way we see them. in that situation, having a nuclear weapon deters. u.s.,t: oftentimes in the people write him off as a crazy man. is that a mistake? a tremendous mistake. when an analyst doesn't understand what a politician is doing, he decides he is insane, but he is not. he's vulnerable and trying to protect his regime, so he's doing things to develop the weapons and the economy and frighten people that he's capable of using them. his credibility depends on him appe

barack obama has not spoken to kim jong-un or any of the north korean dictators. no american president has. the larger pattern that i think is really concert something right now our allies in the region, tokyo, seoul, are looking at this statement, saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, i thought we were going to work together to contain north korea. and this is on top of comments about nato that have our historic allies in europe saying, what's going on? can we depend on the united states? is this a stable form of governance. and the people who get the most comfort seem to be dictators like north korea, putin and china. so if your candidate is giving comfort to those folks, that's a fundamental problem for america. >> he said he was going to meet with them. didn't say he was going to sit down and talk and negotiate. >> sit down and talk are the same thing. >> let's not kid ourselves. this is donald trump we're talking about. he's going to change his statement on this 100%. he'll say something like, well, i didn't mean i was just going to sit down with him. i'll sit down with
