the people that kim jong—un appears to feels most threatened by are his own family, and there are several most powerful was kim jong—un‘s uncle, jang song—thaek. at the time he came to power, jang was the most powerful man in north korea, with a network of allies across the country and throughout the region. one of them was his own nephew, jang yong—chol, who was the ambassador here in malaysia. and, through jang yong—chol, he was able to keep in touch with his other nephew, kim jong—nam. but, in 2013, kimjong—un began the biggest purge in more than 50 years, and it began with his uncle, jang song—thaek, who was arrested and executed by firing squad. over the next month, his whole family was rounded up, including his nephew, the ambassador. he too was recalled to pyongyang and executed. that left kim jong—nam isolated and alone, and without any support. as a boy, kimjong—nam was his father's favourite son and heir, but this family photo tells a chilling story. his cousin shot in the head. his aunt and her daughter in exile and hiding. and now kimjong—nam killed with a banned nerve agent.

we have the situation with the half-brother of kim jong-un being murdered with a chemical weapon about two weeks ago. and we've got the situation where the resolution in the u.n. where it was going to increase sanctions against syria for use of chemical weapons on at least three occasions against its citizens was vetoed by russia and china. chemical weapons. we don't -- there's not been much discussion, i take it that the pentagon is all over this, but what are we going to do about north korea? i mean, we're focused on the nuclear weapons but now we see evidence of this. >> i think the president's made it clear that the issue of north korea already garnered a cig kamt amount of attention by our administration. i know while prime minister abe was visiting the united states, north korea actually fired a missile in the direction of japan. it fell in the ocean about 200 miles short, but the provocations by and what we assume is the murderous act most recent of kim jong-un against his half-brother using chemical agents, vx agents, i think should be deeply troubling and the american people s

are a family of immense interest because, really, if the current north korean regime falls, if kim jong unranch of the kim family are the natural ones to sleep in. kimjong—nam family are the natural ones to sleep in. kim jong—nam before family are the natural ones to sleep in. kimjong—nam before he was killed was the eldest son of kim jong un, in korean culture that place in the family holds a lot of power and respect, so the son of the eldest son will now be kim han—sol, he holds the power. to come back to the assassination of his father, the diplomatic fallout continues. what is the latest? that malaysia, in one state of malaysia, zero wax, after of the malaysia and mainland, in borneo, people there are rounding up north korean workers with expired passports, more than 160 have been rounded up and detained by immigration officials in malaysia, those officials say they are talking to the federal government in kuala lumpurto to the federal government in kuala lumpur to decide what to do. that leaves about 36 north korean workers still on valid work permits inside malaysia. they are really

that means kim jong un is very little to lose. arthel: china is north korea's lifeline. o get china to put pressure on kim jong un, when you think about the u.s. but in economic sanctions on china? >> i think we have to do that because that the only tactic we haven't used over the last 20 to 30 years. secretary of state on his most recent trip to asia talked about how our policy has failed over the course of two decades and clearly it has. we need to put china into a box and if nothing else, regardless what we think about north korean policy, and chinese banks are involved in violating u.s. money laundering laws. we need to enforce their own laws regardless of what we think about north korea. arthel: as you know opposing us economic sanctions on china, and he was doing that, how effective would that really be and does the u.s. have a financial freedom to enforce economic sanctions on china indefinitely. >> i think we can. the reason is putting sanctions on chinese eggs, basically unplugging them from the global financial system could clearly wrought global markets. on the
