kim jong's regime? >> well, i think it's certainly a symbolic blow to the kim jong-un regime. the north korean people closely follow their country's relationship with china. this is bound to add to their perception of kim jong-un as somebody who has alienated the country's last remaining friend. in economic terms, this won't be much of a blow at all. the sanctions restrict coal and iron ore imports only in cases where the proceeds appear likely to fund nuclear armament, which is of course impossible to prove. the sanctions do notng eithe stop china's transfers of fuel to north korea or to restrict its enormous imports of north korean textiles. these last-minute changes demanded by russia, as you just reported, even exempt civil aviation fuel. china may even increase imports in order to offset the sanctions. while kim jong-un is probably not happy with the draft resolution, it doesn't pose a serious threat to his regime. >> now, the u.s. and south korea's joint military drill will take place soon. less than a month after the rocket launch. to this pyongyang has taken a threateni

kim jong-un ordered nuclear-tipped missiles to fire at any time. unlike pyongyang's typical saber-rattling during the annual united states/south korean joint exercises, the anger level has increased this year. no doubt pyongyang is improving its nuclear and missile capabilities, but the real threat comes from kim jong-un's strategic misjudgment. the tri-lateral cooperation and collaboration among washington, tokyo and seoul is a mandatory countermeasure against those threats. >>> a syrian man says he's working to secure the freedom of a japanese journalist being held hostage. the man claims to be in contact with militants holding yasuda, and he says he will be released if japanese officials agree to negotiate. footage of yasuda was posted on social media on wednesday. he went missing last june after traveling to syria to cover the civil war. yasuda is believed to have been taken by members of the al nusra front, an al qaeda-linked militant group. staff members at nhk's cairo bureau spoke on the phone with the syrian man who says he received the vid

what is kim jong un trying to achieve with this?richardson: he is trying to achieve three messages. one, an act of defiance. he does not want to reduce is nuclear arsenal. this is what the west and united states want. he is saying i am not going to reduce my nuclear capability. secondly, it is a message to his own people in north korea. i am in charge. anybody wanting to challenge him, don't mess with me. and third, he is basically wanting attention. he wants the world to not forget north korea is there, that it is not just the middle east and isis and other conflagrations. it is just a show of a very insecure leader who possesses nuclear weapons and who is dangerous. anchor: this dangerous behavior comes just as the north koreans have detained an american student. you have been speaking to north korean diplomats to try and get that student released. how did the north koreans respond? governor richardson: they told me they had to send the message and the request back to pyongyang, the capital. they don't make decisions at the u.n. w
