kim jong un is warn it is ready to use nuclear weapons against the united states at any time and theth is trying to conceal feverish activity. is it preparing for some sort of secret launch? let's go to bar bra starbara starr looking into this. >> the pentagon said the north korean military is all about deception and they believe the north koreans are up to it one more time. north korea has already shown the world it can launch a satellite into space. now u.s. intelligence believes sometime in the next few weeks, the regime will do it again but this time in secret from this launch pad hoping to avoid the prying eyes of u.s. spay satellites overhead. north korea insists its only plan launching the satellite on top of a long-range rocket. >> no country in the world hides the assembly of the space launch vehicle. you can observe for days weeks, north korea is clearly trying to develop a capabilitity here. >> reporter: this launch facility constructed with concealment. under ground rail line delivers the missile parts inside this movable building. the parts are unloaded out of view of sp

contrast that with what kim jong-un was saying last week.e said that north korea what have to focus against the south on their own. north korea's national defense chose this day to release a statement sighing that nor admitted responsibility for the landmine last month that injured two south koreaen soldiers. as for xi jinping, he said that the work between park and himself, they have enjoyed the highest level of friendship, apparently, and talked about t how they both fought off the imperialist colonization taking place in world war ii. japan is concerned about park guen hy's attending and so the decision to attend will be taken very seriously. she's trying to get a try lateral summit running between china, south korea, and japan in the coming months. >> one neighborhood in gaza is putting color back into people's lives. they have painted their homes vibrantly in an effort to restore their communities after last year's conflict with israel. >> it's unlike anywhere else in the gaza strip. narrow lanes and alley ways painted with bright color

. >>> north korean leader kim jong-un has held talks in pyongyang. e meeting was kim's first with dignitary since 2013. the tuesday edition of the newspaper said kim met first vice president on monday. kim said at the meeting that the visit is significant in promoting friendly bilateral ties. his remark shows the north's intention of continuing ties even after cuba had relationship with the united states. since meeting in 2013. no meetings were reported between chinese leaders and the north's delegate to china's military parade. observers say this may reflect continued souring relations between the two countries. >>> "newsline" comes to you from tokyo where it has been raining most of the day. sayaka mori joins us with the tropical storm that has been impacted parts of japan. sayaka? >> yes. there's a seasonal frontal system over the country and an top of that, a tropical storm is approaching and it's bringing moisture to the front. extreme rain is falling in many areas. we have some pictures coming out of the area. this is hamamatsu where there was a

what is notable is that the representative more north korea, not the leader of the country, kim jong un, declining the invitation, sending a senior official instead. that senior official did meet xi jinping, as did all the dell kates. he was positioned -- delegates, but he was positioned a long way from the chinese leader, in the photograph and seating arrangements. south korea's president was there, next to the president of china, xi jinping, as they walked from the forbidden city to tiana min square and sat a seat away. vladimir putin, the russian president in between them. that was - it's an interesting contrast between the current state of relations between beijing and pyongyang, and what we saw 60 years ago. we have a still photograph of kim un sun, and now it's the south korean president taking up that position as opposed to the leader of north korea. >> now, harry, you mentioned south korea's president park geun-hye. who is attending the parade. but western allies are absent. what do we read in the decision to attend the ceremony. >> it was a big consideration, whether to go to a

kim jong-un's latest salvo certainly bears that out. rattles his nuclear saber at america. the head of his atomic energy program declaring the regime is ready to use its nuclear weapons at any time if the u.s. and others pursue their, quote, reckless, hostile policy toward north korea." kim declaring his nuclear program is at full speed. the nuclear complex at nong bee ong is operating normally. a u.s. official tells cnn they have no reason to doubt the claim and analysts take the threat seriously. >> if you look here, the snow melt in this area. snow melt again on the reactor. this would indicate that the reactor is functioning, it's giving off heat causing that snow melt. also here in august, you can see tracks leading into the reactor area. that again shows that there's significant activity going on at these sites. >> reporter: kim's said to be obsessed with developing nuclear weapons as his father and grandfather were. his grandfather kim il sung founder of the country saw the united states bring imperial japan down to its knees with

kim jong un's regime declaring it is restarting its nuclear program and it says it's threatening to -- it's threatening to use nuclear weapons at any time against the u.s. or any other nation. if they pursue "reckless hostile policy toward north korea." the white house says that would be a big mistake. >> the position of the united states, and this is a position that is shared by countries around the world, including significant players in the region, that we will not accept north korea as a nuclear state. >> some foreign policy analysts attribute this new round of tough talk as a way to push for negotiations with the u.s. and get sanctioned eased. others say that tactic could easily backfire and deepen its rift with the u.s. and its allies. >>> still no vote in the senate on the iran nuclear deal. for the second time democrats blocked a resolution that would have disapproved of the agreement. tomorrow the senate will vote on an amendment that would prohibit the president from lifting economic sanctions on iran unless it releases american prisoners and recognizes israel. >>> and we're

it seems to be the ambition of kim jong un.nd then the extra information we have beyond what the north korean regime says comes out of the expert analysis with we saw the analyst talking about snow melt on the buildingles. what some analysis is saying that does indicate heating in the buildings, that there is expansion, but on the other hand it may not necessarily indicate that the complex is fully operational at, for example, the uranium enrichment sites. so it all must be taken with a grain of salt, but also taken seriously, joen. -- john. >> thank you. kathy novak live for us this hour in seoul, south korea. when we come back, the iranians are listening, especially to what the republican presidential candidate has been saying. how the iranians feel about their opposition to the nuclear deal. also young women and girls, once held captive by isis find empowerment and a new life through photography. when your windshield needs fixed, trust safelite. for these parents, driving around was the only way... ...to get their baby to sl

the only question for me is whether kim jong-un from north korea might be also attending this general assembly and whether he could shake his hand, too. >> hopefully that wouldn't happen. you talk about taking credit for the deal. "the atlantic" talks about this deal that basically gives credit to netanyahu. take a look at what jeffrey goldberg writes. netanyahu doesn't see this as a victory for israel but as for evil and as a bitter defeat for the once great united states of america. netanyahu's complaint ask not with the iran deal but with the idea that one can deal with iran. if the president shakes hands with rouhani does that mean you can deal with iran or is that just a facade? >> iran has dealt with obama. they have every strategic objective they wanted out of the vienna negotiations. they are on a path to nuclear weapons. they are going to get economic sanctions lifted. we've gotten essentially nothing in response. i think that the ayatollahs love to deal with barack obama and are probably thinking to themselves what else can we get from him before his time as president ends?

kim jong-un's regime claims it was restarted and has upgraded all of its atomic fuel plants which could mean that it can make more sophisticated nuclear weapons. some foreign policy experts say the tough talk just a ploy to restart negotiations with the u.s. to get sanctions lifted. >>> well, a date has been set for what may be one of the most contentious state dinners in recent history. president obama will host the chinese president at the white house next friday. reciprocating for his trip to beijing last year. both have been tight-lipped. some republicans want it called off in protest over issues like human rights and cybertheft. >> less contentious affair at the white house. a big day for the queens of women basketball. uconn husky were there to celebrate their third consecutive title and presented the president with a number 10 jersey because it was the school's tenth championship overall. mr. obama joked that the team has been there so often they can now lead white house tours. >> i bet they could take him in basketball. i know he's good at basketball. i've seen these women play.

kim jong-un could create a bloodbath on the korean peninsula. he would gladly kill millions of innocent people before he would accept defeat or removal. he's also rattling this nuclear saber to secure his own dominance over north korea. there is some question about whether some of the sold guard are resisting him. he certainly killed some of them to maintain power. but the munds amountal problem i will for me -- we look at partf the world in isolation and you can't do that in a truly global environment. a classic example fills our intelligence possibility is look at the possibility of iranian-north korean nuclear collaboration. essentially iran would offshore its nuclear weapons to north korea. it's all inner reef late and washington doesn't get -- it's all interrelated and washington doesn't get it. bill: can the moderators and will they try to control donald trump? it's about what questions they will ask and to whom they will ask those questions. it's become a trueism that foreign policy doesn't get ratings. immigration, planned parenthood, ta

charles: well, as long as north korea is run by this lunatic, a dictator, a string of lunatics, kim jong-un'st they present a clear danger to the world that maybe one day that he believed the president they would be crazy enough to actually launch one of these nuclear weapons? >> there is that risk and of course they have been getting better at rocket launches. we tend to make fun of them when, for example, their first nuclear test wasn't that good or their rocket test failed but look at our own rocket test. you have a lot of failures, you get a lot of information from those, and then you perfect your system. so can north korea mount a nuclear weapon on a three-stage rocket and hit united states? probably not but the day is coming. so you see this expanding threat. now, i don't think they're completely insane, they're evil but they tend to act rationally. and after all the thing to do now is not give in, not to give them concessions. we should look for ways to make life harder for them. i think the obama administration does the opposite, unfortunately,. charles: you say that because they may
