jong-un? >> i think so. at least president trump should meet kim jong-un at least once before taking any military actions againstkorea. kim jong-un is determined to reach the goal of a nuclear status, as well as icbm tipped with nuclear warheads. that's why i think we should continue the current momentum of sanctions and pressure, but we should even further expand the targeted sanctions against north korea in order to tell the kim jong-un and north korean regime that the nuclear status of north korea cannot break the sanction regime of the united nations. and if they are on this direction, then the final day of north korea could be the total destruction. >> if president trump talks about "fire and fury" and calls kim jong-un "little rocket man," if kim jong-un is calling president trump "mentally deranged dotard," how is this going to develop? how is it going to end? >> i think we have to admit that all those unpredictability and rhetorics made by trump, anyhow, are stopped kim jong-un's further provocations of firing missiles around guam. north's kim jong-un even indicated he can test foreign missiles around gu

before we get to that point, it might be worth trying to understand why kim jong—un seems so determinedwith nuclear weapons. on 17th december 2011, north korea's long—reigning dictator kim jong—il suddenly dies. his 30—year—old son is thrust into the leadership with virtually no experience. as he escorts his father's coffin, kim jong—un is surrounded by powerful old men. walking right behind him, the most powerful of all — his uncle, jang song—thaek. today, all of these old men are either dead or in prison. in 2014, kim has his uncle hauled out of a party meeting accused of treason and executed by firing squad. kim jong—un is systematically eliminating all threats to his power. at kuala lumpur international airport, a rotund north korean man is heading for check—in. moments later, cctv cameras catch the moment he is attacked by two young women, who wipe liquid on his face. almost immediately, he starts to feel ill and seeks help. minutes later, he's unconscious. soon he will be dead. the man is kimjong—nam. kim jong—un's older brother. just a few metres away, in this cafe, at one of tho

kim jong—nam has been poisoned with vx, a rare and deadly nerve agent. almost certainly supplied by the agents sent by his younger brother. why would kim jong—un korean capital, seoul, i've come to meet a man who once served in kim jong—un‘s palace guard. he describes the regime obsessed with security and paranoid about being overthrown. translation: to the kim family everyone is a potential enemy. the north korean military, the general staff, the entire north korean population. anyone who opposes kim is an enemy. even blood relatives. this man says kim's nuclear quest is likewise about survival. and that it intensified after the overthrow of libyan dictator colonel gaddafi in 2011. the reason why the kim family is obsessed with developing nuclear weapons is to protect and maintain the regime. if the us attacks the north, it will use everything to strike back. but kim will not risk losing the regime by attacking first. kim jong—un is not stupid. nuclear weapons serve another purpose. to secure kim's own power and legitimacy. in every recent test he has been there, personally supervising, cigarette in hand. president trump calls him little rock

distributed to the population as a gift of kim jong-un. as the regime established a full scale of a brainwashing system, they depicted the kims as gods. we should continue to educate them. kim jong-un is not a god. he is a normal human being. kim's family is human. we should continue to urge this point. >> up next, a north korean refugee, minhee grace jo, spoke -- she spoke at an event in new york city earlier this year, george w. bush institute. posted by the we begin with an introduction by first lady laura -- former first lady laura bush. grace jo is committed to spreading liberty worldwide. grace jo came to the united states as a refugee from north korea. she knows what life is like when freedom is absent. as the recipient of the north korean freedom scholarship, grace wants to help other north koreans trapped beyond pyongyang's iron curtain. george and i are honored she is here to share her story. please join me in introducing grace jo.

then kim jong-un gets in there and his focus is on the nuclear weapons program. you are right, vietnam today is our 16th largest trading partner. ho, we talk to tae young the hopes that kim jong-un had, that south korea and north korea would reunify like vietnam, but the way they want to do that was to break our allied with north korea. south korea is our sixth-largest trading partner. we have a packed that we signed in the 1960's that we would be a military protector of them. we need to honor our agreement. that is why it's in so important to bring these world powers together so we can have a diplomatic solution to this. thank you for your call and service in korea. the: a lot of focus on upcoming winter olympics in south korea especially that news. this is the sports section of usa today talking about russia being banned from the olympics. what are your concerns about security of u.s. athletes in south korea, in just about two months from now? guest: i'm concerned about americans everywhere in the world today. there are so many hot zones around there. anyountry

is that still the case with kim jong-un? course, and kim jong-un even upgraded his propaganda campaign to make him as a god of north korean people. thank you, so is there any scenario in which north korea might freeze or dismantle its long-range missile program? what would be the best means to persuade north korea to do so? think first kim jong-un still believes he can believe -- he can achieve his goal. so we should continue to tell north korean leadership and with kim jong-un himself, that america will not accept north armed state.clear north korea has seen how india and pakistan achieved that goal and they want to follow india and pakistan. but we should clearly clarify that this would not the case for north korea. rep. engel: from what you know about the internal dynamics of the north korean political and economic systems, how might increased in sternal -- external pressures lead the north korean government to change course? if not, why not? mr. thae: as i said, of the current economic sanctions so far, it's not enough, s

kim jong il passed away. there are a couple domestic reasons why kim jong un wanted to test this missile. todd: what better way to honor your relatives. frank, you wanted to add something. frank: yeah. so china doesn't have as much political influence on north korea as people say but they do have the leverage so it's a reiteration to anthony's point that china has increased and forced sanctions and we have seen that over the last six to eight months. todd: now. that's good because i do want to stay with china because we have another contributor from china. this is an office worker in shanghai. she has this message for president trump. let's watch the clip and i'm going to use my abilities for translation yet again. look at china and russia. we are on great terms. why do you have to do what you have been doing? you should not dominate the game all by yourself. i think that most chinese people share this view. anthony, president trump may agree with him. here the u.s. has been trying to delve china into this process and many officials in china want. china is split on how far to go in pushin
