they left behind so many traces of north korean involvement. >> 100% kim jong-un gave the order. ay, i would say zero possibility a north korean agent can kill kim jong-nam, the supreme leader's half brother, without direct guidance and order and approval by kim jong-un himself. >> the mission was a success in the fact that they killed kim jong-nam. none of the north korean nationals implicated in this assassination has been brought for criminal charges. people that say that this was a botched job are not thinking like north korean intelligence operatives, they're not thinking like killers. >> the operation by no means was perfect, but at the end end of the day, kim jong-nam is dead, and kim jong-un made a point that no one is safe. the way in which kim jong-un chose to kill kim jong-nam, most brutal most ruthless, most painful way possible. i think this says a lot about the character and temperment of kim jong-un himself. >> the present leader eliminated one possible sources of a threat to his throne, but i do not believe that makes his throne more stable or secure. one of the cu

the search for details on the early life of kim jong un takes us to bern switzerland. kim's father north korean leader kim jong il is reported to have sent him here to attend school under an assumed name. there's a large north korean commune. bernie swiss journalists tito's plattner explains why they choose to live there. just like no us resist being less sure is the reason for that lies in the recent history of switzerland it's a neutral country and many international organizations are based around. switzerland has always been open to the north koreans they know that this is a peaceful country with business and that their privacy will be respected air your joy and that's why a lot of prominent north koreans send their kids to study here it was good idea and she's accepted and that includes kim jong un here can join a plessis is a full she's. in one thousand nine hundred ninety two swiss authorities received an application filed by the north korean embassy for a residence permit on behalf of a certain mr park. the visa application listed the names of three children so w

kim jong—un is very desperate. lacks the legitimacy of his rule as a new leader in north korea. he wants to deliver to north koreans a sign that he has the ability to lead this country for another several decades. in his first televised speech, mr kim declared nuclear weapons would make north korea a formidable world power. general wesley clark had decades of experience of international conflict as a senior us military commander. he's decided that he's going to be the member of the kim family who achieves the three long—term kim objectives. first, the regime must survive. secondly, to get the united states out of south korea and third, to unify the peninsula and all of korea under the kim family leadership. to be a serious nuclear threat to america, kim jong—un needed two things, a long range missile and a nuclear warhead small enough to fit onto it. injuly, he oversaw the successful launch of this missile, the hwasong 1a. it has the potential to travel 10,000 kilometres and puts much of america in range. they will

we'll get someone who is better than kim jong-un? will the regime be perpetuated in another unpredictable form? no one seems to know the answers. that should worry us about american intelligence that we don't seem to know what's going on inside the regime. >> arthel: those were my two questions which will leave is where does this leave what happens next. we'll leave that for everyone to figure out, hopefully sooner rather than later. >> well, i'll be going to south korea myself in a week. i hope to bring back answers for you. >> arthel: very good. we look forward to finding out what you discover on your trip. thank you very much. >> will look forward to that. >> eric: tensions are spiking in spain. amid the country's worst political crisis there decades, hundreds of thousands of people rally protesting the catalans government push to secede from the country. this, one week after they held a referendum with spain's highest court ruled illegal. both sides appear to be on a collision course that could split the nation. john huddy is fin

. >> 28 years after the collapse of communism and the former soviet union, the kim jong-un is still around. it has survived, developed a lot of terrifying weapons in the meantime and achieved two hereditary transmissions of power from grandfather to son to son, kim jong-il in july and from son to grandson kim jong-un in december 2011. how did we get here? one argument made is the fact that eastern europeans had witnessed other political systems, good, bad, terrible. in the case of north korea, the regime is truly the result of the fusion of three totalitarian political systems. of course, there is stalinist communism, korea was under a very tough brutal japanese occupation prior to that 500 years of a dynasty so one argument that is made is that this dictatorship of the kim family regime is truly the result of the fusion of three totalitarian political systems. what we know for sure is that this is a criminal regime and in february 2014 a u.n. commission of inquiries submitted a report, the result of a yearlong investigation submitted a report to the human rights council, a report that fou

kim jong un is basically me when i was in middle school -- short, awkward, obsessed with basketball, hasan. look at that photo! that's kim jong minage, mushroom cut and all ( cheers and applause ) when you look at kick kick, i see every asian kid whongtd make the basketball team. he wants to launch threes, not october. ( laughter ) you see that asian parents? this is what happens when you force a kid into a career they hate. they threaten to blow up the world. i know! ( cheers and applause ) i know kim jong un is basically 13-year-old hasan because the best day of his life was when we got to meet chicago bulls power forward dennis rodman. look at that! look at how adorable they are! it's like -- it's like when a tiger becomes friends with a duck. shouldn't they be eating each other? but somehow it just works. now, notice the entire time rodman was hanging out with kim jong un, kim didn't have his finger on the red button, but as soon as rodman left, north korean draco malfoy went to playing with explosives. ( laughter ) that was just rodman. imagine what we could do if we got the whol

what would you like our adversary in this instance, kim jong-un, to know about that? is it is a military option that was on the table when i used to hear condoleezza rice talk about that in 2005? or has the north koreans nuclear progress in that time served to constrain the military options that we have today? >> the president has been very clear about this. he is not going to permit this rogue regime, kim jong-un to threaten the united states with a nuclear weapon. and so, he is going to do anything sorry to prevent that from happening. what kim jong-un should recognize is that if he thinks the development of this nuclear capability is keeping him safer, is actually the opposite. it is having the opposite effect. >> is it the same as 2005? we have a broad range of new capabilities coming into the armed forces thanks to the president's focus on modernizing the armed forces, addressing what had been a wave of deferred military modernization. so our military is getting stronger and stronger. in the military leaders are refining improving plans every day. plans that we d

and the more he threatens kim jong-un the more that kim jong-un is going to think that in fact we mayry out those threats and may respond to something that otherwise may seem you know not provocative and i think it just raises the tensions and raises the possibility that we may actually end up in a conflict with north korea. >> part of diplomacy as you well know is always leaving the person that you're negotiating or in conversation with, always leaving them an off-ramp that allows them to save face. what is that off-ramp that we have left north korea? >> i think you put your finger on the problem, we have not left an off-ramp, ramping up tensions, and we have been kind of increasing the pressure but it's not clear where we want him to go. we haven't given him a place, direction to go that we find acceptable. and i think that is a real problem, because if you don't provide an off-ramp the only possibility is conflict. >> what is the best? i asked you whether you had high expectations or low expectations, your answer is that many of us are worried. what is the best that can come out of

twitter is something we do not be should not be paying attention to but especially for kim jong un he knows he has conventional capabilities to trash so he's developing his nuclear deterrent he will see that that deterrent is as polished and as sharp as possible because regardless whether trump is mad or not he will have his fallback option isn't this somewhat of an i told you so moment for kim jong un i mean his secretary of state is being reported call him a moron and then really didn't back away from it. he says he never thought he'd leave the administration and he's trying to debunk the report but this back and forth does it give kim jong un somewhat of an upper hand in the world community it does give kim jong un an upper hand in the world community it will give him that upper hand when things do come down to negotiations because as he himself said he was open to some conciliatory move at the u.n. general assembly session that americans are not providing that he can if so long as he keeps himself open to negotiating at the same time as he has this deterrent he can say i was there

kim jong-un clearly feeling the pressure. diplomats and u.s. officials tell us that those sanctions also are starting. north koreans are starting to feel the heat. and you remember, would he have, just a few weeks ago, kim jong-un made the first ever i think public statement in his own name talking about president trump. if you remember, he called him an insane dotard, if you will, kind of an insane kind of senile old person. and, of course, the threat here, the problem is that i think u.s. officials are worried that north korea sees the united states as bluffing. when president trump talks about military action being the only way and you remember president trump's tweets telling secretary of state tillerson that his diplomacy was a waste of time, the fear is that north korea will think the u.s. is bluffing, try to test the u.s., and then the u.s. will be forced to take some military action if kim jong-un were to take that extra step, not just launch a missile or a nuclear test but a rocket perhaps at a u.s. territory. that could really set thi

kim jong-un? >> kim jong-un.ating on a series of incentives that are different than what we think he should be operating under. when you're the north korean leader, you have to balance the efforts in the regime. here hostile to outside forces. that's been the mantra of the leadership. now they have nukes, they have missiles and they can upset the status quo in much more consequential ways than they could before. >> shepard: when kim jong-un hears only one thing will work and it's clear that one thing is not diplomacy because the president said it hasn't worked for 25 years, how is that taken? how if at all does it change the equation? >> there's one way for anyone, including kim jong-un to take that. that is basically trump is saying only war is going to work. that is contradictory. the president has this really good policy, as i mentioned about strangling the regime. it can work over time. but you know, trump is not saying it will. what he's talking about is the use of force. there's too much war talk. too much

and new concerns about kim jong-un's nuclear ambitions.an todd has details on some of the heated the rhetoric coming from the regime. brian, what are you learning? >> today we've been speaking with u.s. intelligence officials who are keeping a close eye on these threats. kim jong-un has apparently directed at least two top officials of his regime to issue warnings, subtle and not-so-subtle to america. one of them, a threat of potential imminent nuclear war was delivered on the floor of the u.n. it is the ultimate threat, issued on the floor of the united nations, and designed to strike fear into the hearts of americans. >> a nuclear war may break out any moment. >> that ominous warning from one of kim jong-un's top diplomats monday comes, he says, because the u.s. is, quote, insulting the dignity of north korea, preparing war planes to take out kim. >> why issue that threat in this particular moment. >> part of this is classic bluster, but also brinksmanship on their part. and kim jong-un is notorious for brinks m brinksmanship. >> reporte

what does kim jong un want? >> i think if you look at the family as a whole, his grandfather created the place in the late 1940s. and he ruled for nearly 50 years and died of natural causes. his father ruled for 20-some yers and died of natural causes. i think that that's what kim jong un wants. he wants to be in power, running this state, throughout his life. without interference from the outside. that seems to be the conclusion that one can make, just looking at the history of the place. they have not gone to war but once. and that was in 1950 and it turned out very, very badly for north korea. the country was essentially eliminated and kim ill sung, the great leader, spent much of that war in a bunker. was bailed out by the chinese. now the chinese are much less willing to bail out north korea. north korea is bad for china's business which basically is to sell the united states and europe. material goods. so it's a much more risky proposition to go to war against the west and it didn't work out well the first

so how does that fit in in this whole strategy as far as kim jong-un?ve that kim jong-un is ready to back down because of his tough talk? >> well, clearly, i mean, we've seen that kim jong-un is not ready to back down, wolf. he's continuing to pursue his nuclear ambitions. he's continuing to act in a way that is add sarial to the united states and our partners. the president's rhetoric so far isn't working, and in fact, we've heard many suggestions of course from experts in this field that it's actually been counterproductive and potentially sending us in the direction of maybe an accidental conflict or at least hurting the president's chances of ratcheting the rhetoric down and pursuing aic solution. it's important to remember that president trump at any moment is messaging not only to kim jong-un and north korea and our partners, but also sending a political message. part of this is about his supporters and trying to portray himself as a strong president. >> when he says he's tougher than his add strivisers, i assus referring to the secretary of state

which is i think they think kim jong un is not his father. it's a different situation. the situation is very dangerous and more more dangerous than it was five to ten years ago. finally let me say in terms of the other facets of the alliance. because we would talk about other elements. that would include the economic relationship. working for five and a half years or at least on and off as a private citizen. the jury is still out. we have to see where we are in the other elements. those are important elements going forward. rightly so north korea has been in focus and in sharp focus because it is a serious and dangerous problem. >> hello everyone. you already notice i'm kind of the new face here. and at least the famous and least known person here. i was a member of the foreign policy team in 2012. election campaign. and of course it was we failed. and 2016 i rejoined. and concerted him. regarding foreign policy. that's why i'm invited here. social security the second time. i have to go back tomorrow because i'm teaching tomorrow. i don't have any position right now. i'

are we sending a signal to kim jong-un that no matter what he does, we're coming in? and if so, that's really horrible. >> i think secretary tillerson at the state department is trying to craft exit ramps. he does want to forge exit ramps. likewise, i think that north korean foreign ministry is trying to figure out exit ramps. that's why i was invited, frankly of the but the problem is, i think, that those people trying to find some kind of a deal are being margin iced in both clals. and there's another point to make on the iraq war. i made the same point to my north korean interlock aers. it feels just like when i was in iraq and the eve of the iraq war and it just felt like this tragedy about to unfold. and they said, you know, you completely misunderstand that the lesson of iraq was that we have to have nuclear weapons. if sad am had had nuclear weapons, then he wouldn't have been invaded. and i think that one of the tragedies of our invasion of iraq in 2003 was we sent a message to the north koreans that they'd better develop nuclear weapons and a long-range missi

, that kim jong-un is determined to develop a nuclear weapon and threaten others with it i think it's constructive for the president to convey toughness while we go on the process of negotiating and trying to work with china and others to get kim jong-un to stand down to your final question, i have no reason to think there's a change coming in the u.s. administration >> so there's no reason to believe the state department and the white house are not working together >> just the opposite i only have a small wind deon this through some of the work i've done, i've seen the white house and the state department working very closely together. >> on subject of north korea what do you think the best case scenario is? kim jong-un doesn't seem to be too phased by rhetoric coming out of trump and via social media on tweets, or even out of the administration itself. what do you think the likely solution is going to be? >> i think somehow we have to find a way for kim jong-un to stand down he's testing missiles at a very rapid rate, they're provocative tests, flying over japan anything can go wron

the otherwise peaceful town kim jong un's summer residence is also the country's most important military staging area. from an outsider's view it seems rather unbalanced to launch missiles from a place being developed for tourism purposes but it's working for kim jong un's governing process. john young is spending billions to turn the v.a. into a tourist area and the one son special tourist zone foreign investors have already plowed around one and a half billion dollars into an area covering around four hundred square kilometers . guests have to know what they can expect during the visit like when the country's military conducts swimming tests in the very day in front of their supreme leader one son for kim jong il and it's a location with family history his grandfather kim it's on the founder of the country also had a home here tourism and nuclear weapons a combination no seen to symbolize kim jong un survival strategy north korea. economy structure cannot produce much hard currency but the reason even though the amount top hard currency he earns not so great but it is in north korea te
