i doubt that people genuinely have the kind of feeling towards kim jong un as they did for kim jong il. (translated): we would say, how can this boy who's still wet behind the ears be in power? but the north korean government spread these rumors that although he was young, he was very wise. that's what the government kept saying. narrator: jiro's undercover footage shows people all over the country being forced to prove their dedication to the new leader, but some resenting having to do it. these soldiers were ordered to build a railroad from kim jong un's birthplace to pyongyang to mark him coming to power. narrator: the undercover footage even shows a local official criticizing kim jong un's succession. narrator: to compensate for his lack of experience, the regime made parallels with his grandfather kim il sung, who is still widely worshipped and is officially eternal president of north korea. there are all kinds of rumors that kim jong un even had cosmetic surgery to look like his grandfather. but certainly his style seems to be more like kim il sung as well. trying to be a reincar

they don't like kim jong-un. i've been in many meetings where president xi speaks very disrespectfully. i've spoken to the chinese ambassador to the six-party talks many times. they don't like him. they're trying to find a solution. my view, though, is that trump has kind of done the right thing here by stepping up the pressure. the carrier group and the signaling china with the strike on syria. but we have to take advantage of that pressure now and work with china to find a joint solution with north korea. china wants this solved too. there's no question about that. what we have not been sufficiently creative. i think the past practice of strategic patience was wrong. it was naive frankly. u.s. policy has been feckless. we haven't been focused on the real problem here. but now the strategic patience is gone. we're working on a new reality here, which is a new reality about kim jong-un. we have to take advantage of the tension now and the additional pressure, working with china to find a solution. there's no solu

and kim was not. she could've gone back to earn this license, but it would require her to go to school for two years. she would have to complete an internship during which time she would involve 25 bodies. then she would have to have a brick-and-mortar business in which she would have a selection room, a preparation room, a viewing room and she would have to inventory on hand. none of which they are interested in. as if it were not irrational enough, to require a funeral directors license to sell a box, because that's what a casket is. it's an empty box the law also graded circumstance where an oklahoma-based company had to be a licensed funeral director to sell to consumers in oklahoma, but companies outside of the state who sold to consumers in oklahoma did not have to have a funeral directors license. so kim could've taken our business, which was essentially computer servers, she could have taken her servers and moved across the state line to kansas, and there she could've sold caskets to consumers

kim —— kim il—sung although he is dead remains in office.bolic meaning as the tensions between north korea and the us are notching up. donald trump sent what he called a powerful armada to the korean peninsulas as a show of strength and after meeting chinese leader, he said the us was prepared to go alone. this parade will be watched very, very closely, followed by many experts in the region. where there are test is imminent or a missile launch may be happening, thatis missile launch may be happening, that is what the thought is in the next 2a hours. of course, we don't know what is going to happen but what we do know for now is that there is a huge show of strength in pyongyang. our correspondentjohn sudworth is in pyongyang with a group of foreign journalists invited to witness the event — and his movements are being closely monitored. he filed his report before the parade began. they sing. in north korea, the spectre of war looms large over daily life. these girls are singing about being soldiers... while, not far away, real ones crowd in

kim il-sung and a new korea. the chaos of the surrendered liberation of korea in 1945, the same question bedeviled americans and koreans that in october of 1945 view to three -- viewed three soviet generals accompanied by two koreans, pyongyang, and had a political rally explaining the goals of soviet occupation. they were there to introduce these two korean gentleman that were expected to govern pyongyang and govern all of northern korea and perhaps all of korea. one of them was well known to the crowd. in ancient -- i hesitate to use that word because i am getting pretty ancient myself, but an elderly man was known to everybody. the spiritual leader of the christian community, he had been a resistance leader for the japanese, but the other man confused the crowd. people began to murmur. [speaking foreign language] who is that guy? i hope nobody out there speaks korean. [laughter] that was close enough. recognizedt they him. a rebellious student who grew up in a village outside pyongyang. he had been expelled at

i think that sends a strong signal to kim jong-un. the other thing is, his cooperation, hopefully with allowing these companies in doing business with north korea helping us put sanctions on the company secondarily to where they are excluded from the american or world financial banks. this is something he can come and help us with. if you look at what he has done previous to this, he was retaliating against south korea for their acceptance of the thad system in south korea. he was punishing the wrong korea. he should be going after north korea and helping us come together. he has done a good thing by preventing any more of the export of coal from north korea to china. let's hope he stays true to his word on that and that they help us bring this is a peaceful resolve. >> congressman, stand by. there is much more to discuss. we will resume our conversation right after this. >>> we're back with congressman ted yo with florida. one of the republican lawmakers who is facing angry constituents at some town haul events. congressman, i know y

of kim jong un. this act of terrorism took place at the airport in alaysia and was summarize -- summarized by the chairman. and a united states district court found that in 2014 the north korea -- that north korea materially supported terrorist acts by hezbollah, a designated foreign terrorist organization. finally, and this list is incomplete, but last on my list is north korea's assistance in helping assad try to develop nuclear weapons of his own. we're aware that assad's nuclear facility, built almost entirely based on north korean technology, and using north korean equipment, was destroyed in 2007. assad has murdered hundreds of thousands, it looks like the figure is now half a million of his own citizens. imagine the destruction assad would have engaged in. had he been able to develop nuclear weapons with the support and technology of north korea. so, h.res. 479, the north korea state sponsor of terrorism designation act, expresses the sense of congress that north korea likely meets the criteri

"justice" starts now. i'm judge jeanine pirro. mayor case in trouble. they are trying to silence you. a monstrous and pervasive movement is putting the first amendment and your free speech. the most basic and fundamental tenets of our nation at risk and in danger of extinction. whether you are on the left or the right, free speech is essential to our democracy. the reason the country was found. the prone people risk so much, even die to come here. yet as you sit there you are watching a silencing in real-time. where people are not allowed to express their opinion if it does not align with the thinking of others. this is not an esoteric or academic discussion about one person or one campus. it's happening all over. and it's putting us on a course where we are in danger of becoming a fascist totalitarian so sight where there is only one accepted point of view. no other will be tolerated. and it's time to fight back. this week c

>> this has been an act of political theater from kim jong-un. this comes a few hours after the massive military parade on the most important holiday of north korea, on the day of the sun on the birth of the founder of north korea. the thing that strikes me most important is basically the message going to the chinese and the americans. and the global times, which is a tabloid published in beijing by people's daily, which is the mo most authorityive publication in china, it ran a very harsh piece with regard to north korea warning them in terms that north koreans were essentially probably very upset with because the tone was mastered to subordinate. i think what the north koreans decided to do they had to show the chinese out. that's why we see this. i believe beijing has tried very hard to reign in the north koreans in the last few days because the chinese president i think was unnerved by president trump's firing of 59 tomahawks into syria and he was worried about what president trump might do in the region. at this point i am sure that kim jong

basically saying to kim jong-un don't do this. and kim jong-un saying i'm going to do this.t's your thought on how important now or how effective china might be in going forward in keeping jkim jong-un in line? >> this is really an in your face response from kim jong-un. this is a grave insult to the chinese. 48 hours ago they called on all parties to calm down for good reason. the rhetoric on both sides, the military maneuvers on both side, were leading us to the greater crisis we've had in the korean peninsula since 1994 when we almost went to war over the u.s. efforts to try to stop north korea's tests and their program then. the chinese are very concerned. this is the latest insult that kim jong-un has given them. you see the rhetoric in the chinese press ratcheting up on this. there's been statements that the chinese should attack the north korean nuclear facilities. so the chinese are angry. they want north korea to stop and they are citie siding more the united states, but that he ever never going to take the complete shutdown of the country that will cause the collap

the north korean leadership, all of the kim family, has been very successful. throughout the cold war, they played the soviets and chinese off against each other. that is not easy. it's not like the soviets or chinese were led by a bunch of amateurs, and yet they managed to walk that fine line. kim jong-un is acting in ways that keeps us all up at night, but he hasn't quite crossed the line. let me just note here. i think many of us, myself included but also viewers, would say starving your own population to death is irrational, but from his point of view, if it keeps him in power, maybe it's not irrational. host: for those listening on c-span radio, our guest is dean chang. we check with him on a regular basis. he is with the heritage foundation. we welcome our viewers on the bbc parliament channel and for hose of you listening on siriusxm. thank you for listening and watching. good morning from new york. caller: good morning. i appreciate this discussion. thank you very much. n terms of the massive buildings, these skyscrapers -- i am an economist and the way

take a look. >> reporter: an ominous in kim il-sung square. north korea's growing missile arsenal on full display including what the south korean military suspects are two never before seen intercontinental ballistic missiles. like all military parades around the world these are most likely mockups but analysts believe north korea has the real thing. and may be waiting for the right moment to put the modernized missile arsenal to the test. what should the world think when they cease these ballistic missiles rolling by? is north korea a threat to the world? >> the korean people's army is fully ready to attack our enemies at any moment, he says, if they try to attack us. >> reporter: despite escalating rhetoric and u.s. warships headed for the coast the nation's supreme leader kim jong-un did not test a nuclear weapon saturday as many predicted. instead he showed force by showing off missiles that could some day deliver nuclear warheads to the mainland u.s. >> translator: i think we've done something bigger than a nuclear test, he says. we've sh

give usa the state founder, kim il—sung. give us a sense the state founder, kim il—sung.ves in the country. —— he still lives in the country. —— he still is. well, he is still president. even in death, he is still constitutionally the president of this country. i mentioned it earlier, you really can feel this parade. it is notjust something you witness. the ground is shaking, you can feel the ancients of the caterpillar trucks as they take their rockets and missiles away from kim il—sung square. —— engines of the caterpillar trucks. he was the man who began it all, the nuclear weapons programme began in the 1980s under his watch. since then, his son kimjong il under his watch. since then, his son kim jong il and now under his watch. since then, his son kimjong il and now his grandson kim jong—un and are carrying on that ambition. and experts believe that with missiles and weaponry like this, they are just a few small step is away from having a real, deliverable nuclear arsenal. and of course once they reached that stage it isa course once they reached that stage it is a g

kim is actually from oklahoma. she started her first business they are, a few rogue is nice, but she had to leave oklahoma when she ran afoul of the law. turns out kim was engaged in a very dangerous as a selling caskets about a funeral this license. before that in the early 1980s was on the executive in a family of hard-working she enjoyed a lot of success. and eventually she ended up as one of the nation's largest funeral companies and their she sold funeral services future saw this as a way with her drive and business to help people through her work and asked before, she was very successful and not business. but after a few year she began to notice they need, a niche to be filled by the classic entrepreneur and that was she saw in a few girl industry, the merchandise that was sold with marks up a significant amount. caskets for instance mark up from 250 to 600%. so she began to think, how could i put together a business model that would enable me to sell the same merchandise but at a much lower cost. so she even

it's bad for kim it didn't work.d trying to figure out where they fit relative to china, the united states and the koreas. >> we know that vice president mike pence is on his way right now to south korea. this was a visit that had been planned well in advance of all the developments of the past week in terms of this heightened escalation of rhetoric between north korea and the u.s. if you were mike pence and heading to south korea now all that's happened in the last few hours, what is your priority when you're on the ground in south korea? >> the biggest thing is to reassure the south koreans the united states south core can alliance is strong. they recently impeached their president. they're a month away from their elections and how the u.s. is handling north korea is a critical issue in those elections. this is a very, very complicated environment that vice president pence is stepping into. >> do you think it was odd that the president of the u.s. department come out and issue a statement himself? >> it was odd but

that's what we heard ina —— kim jong—un.ment yesterday, that they we re in a statement yesterday, that they were open to negotiations and they wa nted were open to negotiations and they wanted a path to dialogue. that's what these sanctions are all about. interestingly what has also come out from this interview is that china has told the us that it told pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kim jong—un pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kimjong—un did another pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kim jong—un did another nuclear test. that is new information and that suggests that in porton meeting between president xi and president trump in mar—a—lago just last between president xi and president trump in mar—a—lagojust last month may have yielded results when it comes to china putting the pressure on north korea. fascinating as you say, laura, a lot of revelations in that report, the interview that rex tillerson gave to fox news. as we know, much depends on trying to convince china and if indeed those comments he made

we could hear kim jong-un himself speak later today. supreme people's assembly kicks off just hours from now but of course the votes are always unanimous, no political descent allowed here, wolf. it's kim jong-un who decides what this country does in regards to the nuclear program moving forward. >> will ripley with the exclusive reporting from pyongyang north korea. will, thank you very, very much. coming up, new details of the damage from the u.s. strike opt syrian air base. what will trump's next move be? it's looking up, not down. it's being in motion. in body, in spirit, in the now. boost® high protein it's intelligent nutrition with 15 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. for when you need a little extra. boost® the number one high protein complete nutritional drink. be up for it so we know how to cover almost alanything.ything, even a coupe soup.

you see, even the half-brother of north korean believe kim jong-nam was assassinated. a public place like the airport. >> how did you react to that? >> at the time i heard the story i was not surprised at all. >> do you think kim jong-un ordered his death? >> definitely, yes. >> do you think he wants your death? >> yes. >> you think he wants to kill you? >> yes. kim jong-un is a man with the character that anything no matter whether it is a country or human being, you know, should be eliminated if a country or human being pose a kind of threat to him. >> in the united states, we would say you're a marked man. >> i'm sure i'm already a marked man. >> a short while later, away from the crowds, thae talked about the horrible price of his betrayal. >> your decision would also impact people you love. you have a brother and a sister still in north korea. what is your expectation as to what has happened to them? >> i cannot definitely say to which place my family members were sent, but one thing i am sure is that they may have been sent to either to remote areas or labor camp

if this is part of that pattern, what does kim jong-un want? >> yeah. >> so senator, i don't think it's any longer a part of -- the pattern of his grandfather and his father. so as you correctly stated, in the past, they have gone into this provocation cycle i've talked about a lot in hawaii, where there's a provocation, there's a negotiation and there's a concession. peaceful for a while, and then the cycle starts again. i think kim jong-un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation and provocation. and what he is seeking is his own independent nuclear deterrent in order to threaten the united states i don't think it's any longer a part of the pattern of his grandfather and his father. so as you correctly stated, in the past, they've gone to this provocation cycle. i've talked about it a lot in hawaii where there's a provocation, there's a negotiation and there's a concession. peace for a while and then the cycle starts again. i think kim jong-un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation, provocation. what he is se

and that means kim jong un could have a much lower threshold of risk than we think. it means he could do something that could surprise us. because from his perspective, he may think he has little to lose."brian todd/cnn"analysts say, if north korea conducts another nuclear test in the coming days or weeks, it's going to mean that china likely was not able to use its leverage, its influence over kim jong un.and that, they say, is a very dangerous sign. brian todd, cnn, washington."

it may not and runs the risk of kim jong un.t is the stockpile of chemical and biological peps and missile launches spread across the country side. north korea's nuclear missile is of national security threat. they ask that you tell us how you are preparing for every contingency. while north korea poses an immediate security threat we must not lose the long term threat i believe it is critical we empower countries in south asia to protect and provide them with economic alternatives to maintain regional stability. >> thank you. it is an honor for me to appear before this committee. there are many things to talk about. i regret that i'm not here with my testimony battle buddy, but i think you'll all agree he is where he is needed most on the korean peninsula. mr.chairman, i request my statement be submitted for the record. as a commander i have the extraordinary privilege of leading about 375,000 airmen, marines and civilians serving our nation over half the globe. it's important because i believe economic prosperity are linked to

and north korea are continuing their tense standoff this weekend with a kim regime showing off advancedrange missiles and conducting a missile test that exploded on launch while president trump threatens to, quote, solve the problem. in a few minutes we will talk with k.t. mcfarland, second in command at the national security council about north korea and other hot spots but we begin with team fox coverage. kristin fisher traveling with the president in west palm beach, but first greg live from pyongyang in north korea, greg. >> chris, celebrations marking the anniversary of the birth date of the founder of this country ended with a dud this weekend, sunday morning north korea time, a missile blew up at launching this according to u.s. and south korean authorities. now just a couple of hours prior to that, we watched dozens of missiles in pyongyang including a medium-range solid-fuel missile which could have been the type used in that launch on the east coast of the country. if successful, it would have threatened the u.s. ally japan as well as some 35,000 u.s. service members there. no

when talking about kim jong-un, it's fair to say he just ain't right. he thinks in the terms of publicity and showing off. so when he sees tomahawks hitting syria and moabs hitting afghanistan, he's not getting much attention. he has this big parade and military exercise and the 105th birthday of his grandfather. then he decide to light the candle on a missile and show us how tough he is. on problem is the missile blows up on the pad. this is a guy we have to take seriously. he's seriously delusional and seriously crazy. and that makes him a threat just not to south korea, but the entire planet. >> with all of the show of the intercontinental ballistic missile and the goose stepping and all of the craziness and the excitement. whether it would show whether it was real, it seems as though he would have to prove something. the failure of the missile launch. and earlier gregg palkot seemed to suggest the failure may have been due to cyber warfare interference which i thought was fascinating that hasn't quite yet been confirmed. but there is an attempt by t

now, the question comes, since it was a failure, will kim jong-un try again.o people in north korea know about it? the answer is know. it will not be reported in korean state media. they don't report atheir test unless they're successful and there's a propaganda value of telling the north korea people about it. >> about the military parade you witnessed on saturday, can you explain why from the north korean point of view, these demonstrations are so important? and what is it like to be an eyewitness, standing there next to the military machines and the thousands and thousands of soldiers and supporters as they march past. >> i know you've experienced this firsthand, ivan. it is something very special to north korea. but china's military parade is also an impressive spectacle. but north korea has the military parades down. they do it almost better than anywhere else in the world, in terms of just the precision, the involvement of the citizens, citizens of pyongyang are expected to be a part of these major celebratory events. and they turn out in droves. and ten

still, the status quo that has gingerly maintained peace is threatened as kim jong-un races towards a nuclear weapon capability. it raises the question what about seoul and the think it will reign thousands of artillery rounds on this metropolitan but won't go unpunished. >> this is a robust response not only american but south korean troops working hand-in-hand. >> reporter: the u.s. warplane is to quickly overwhelm and knock out the north's artillery threat. mobile radar units like this will track the incoming rounds from their source even before they land. you can't shoot what you can't see? >> exactly. >> reporter: this allows you to see what's coming at you? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: the eyes of a sophisticated response. >> you can track the rounds simultaneously? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: that's a lot. the mobile rocket system is the fangs of the response who quickly aim and fire right back at the source. >> this is a very important thing for us to go over and rehearse as many times in different scenarios as possible. >> reporter: this is what it would look like for real. the fa

arthel: what does kim jong-un do next? double down with even more to prove his own strong message to send? >> he could do another missile test or nuclear test. that's what we were waiting for friday or saturday night. i think he uses these as political messages, but they are technical developments. he sent a clear message with the parade and rev systems on friday night. they will were we have been discussing this morning, what if it is discovered that the u.s. went on offense with the cyber attack that caused that north core treian missile failure and how do you think kim jong-un would react if that is revealed to be the case? >> i hope it wouldn't be discovered because we would not be able to continue to use that particular method. i think kim jong-un would be very upset. i'm sure he's very upset with the launch failure. i think the missile technicians are probably also very upset about what's going to happen to them unfortunately. i think that the u.s. going on offense is a good idea. these are ballistic missile systems

kim jong—un square. it is unlikely we will see a test today, i think.olutely clear that he is not prepared to negotiate away his nuclear weapons while being threatened and challenged by the united states. john, you are there with a group of foreign journalists who covered this event. ijust wonder the level of access you have been allowed to have and have you been allowed to have and have you been able to speak to average north korean ‘s and get their thoughts on the day ‘s events and the tensions? we haven't. these are very, very tightly controlled media trips. we are able to speak to some north korean but of course only ever under the watchful eyes of our minders. beyond the city limits, there is no media access at all. this is a society, our country, that controls freedom of information like none other on the planet. the one thing you can say, of course, is that it has proved over the years extremely resilient and this is the reason why. it's used its military force, its nuclear weapons programme, to remarkable strategic effect. outliving all the othe
