or south korea should make in order to begin engagement with north korea?nd finally, president trump said yesterday, i think we have a, quote, "i think we have a very, very strong, solid plan." do you know what that plan is? if so, can you please tell us? [laughter] thank you. interpreter: [speaking korean] [laughter] pres. moon: first of all, i would like to point out that north korea's nuclear and missile provocations are illegal activities which violate both the various u.n. security council resolutions and whereas thel norms, military exercises jointly conducted by korea and the united states are military exercises of a defensive nature that have been conducted for a very long time. this is a legitimate exercise. i believe we cannot trade an illicit activity for something that is legal. furthermore, i believe that we cannot reward bad behavior. and that is why i believe that we maintain -- we have long maintained the position, both korea and the united states, that we cannot stop or cease combined military exercises as a condition or a concession or con

korea's? >> it's possible. i'm not exactly sure which ones are going to be included but it's possible certainly we still have the human rights sanctions provided for in legislation and we have the authority to do th that. >> the final question before i turn it over, cyber capabiliti capabilities. in the last congress had passed legislation when we find a violation by north korea under the terms of the legislation. in the conversations over the past several months we talked about the attacks that have gone viral. does the united states plan to utilize the cyber sanctions authority under the previous legislation plaques >> i believe that of course we are well aware of the malicious cyber activity emanating and we are very concerned about it. i think when we have the opportunity to use the authority we would certainly use it and wouldn't hesitate. this is a very important discussion and i continue my line of questioning. in the ballistic missile sometime is of the essence. but legislation which we have pending bef

and south korea are doing is basically flexing their muscle to show we're not afraid of north korea we also have big bad weapons but what they're doing is answering fire with fire in a region that is a powder keg north korea hasn't gained any useful military capability here. should they ever launch a strike the consequences would be catastrophic for north korea so they don't expect them to gain any military advantage what they're looking for and what they've achieved now is status as a nuclear power and that status will convey political advantages clearly washington moscow and beijing have to cooperate on this issue to bring the right kind of pressure to bear to bring north korea to. north korea's state media we have learned that kim jong un is of value never to put his nuclear weapons program on the negotiating table and he's urging scientists to frequently send big and small gifts to the american bastards as he says meaning more missile tests president trump has made clear he's looking to china to put heavy pressure on north korea but has also said he's willing to act alone and today

south korea does a lot.y contribute more to their own defense than just about any other american ally in the role with the united states. they have been under threat for a long time and have not been averse to spending a lot of money and maintain a large military force. if you look at the -- that is one of the risk factors. highly a very, very weapons-intensive and manpower -intensive location on a very small peninsula, so we have worked with our allies in south korea for a very long time. andollaborate militarily maintain a presence of almost 30,000 military personnel on the peninsula, but south korea is the one that bears the brunt of the defense relationship. they are increasingly more the ones who are more forward deployed, because it is after all the korean peninsula, and we believe, and i believe the south koreans even amidst their political differences, recognized that they need to protect themselves, that they need help to do that, and that is what the united states has done ever since it intervened

we both seek a resolution to the north korea problem. [no audio] u.s.rm commitment of i also urge pyongyang to return to the negotiating table. national security needs low room for either compromise or concession. on this, the u.s. and president -- why are the same time pursuing defense reform -- [indiscernible] as we undertake these endeavors through bilateral cooperation. economic partnership between our forms the essential pillar for future development. we have both agreed on this. economic wealth and job creation is promoted to ensure our peoples enjoy greater mutual benefits through the collective efforts. as we fight terrorism and other --bal challenges together, [indiscernible] our two nations will work towards establishing -- [indiscernible] i would like to take a moment to convey my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the american people and the bereaved family grieving over the death of aut - death of otto warmbier. i deeply sympathize with americans who were saddened they were not able to defend their citizen. i am keenly aw

korea. they are responsible for $7 billion of trade with north korea. moreover the report found only ten of these companies controlled 30% of chinese exports in 2016. one of the companies alone was responsible for nearly 10% of total imports from north korea. some of the companies were found in satellite offices in the united states. according to recent disclosures from 2009 to 2017 to use thanks to process at least $2.2 billion in transactions through the u.s. financial system. it should all stop now and it must stop now. the united states should not be afraid of a diplomatic confrontation for existing u.s. law and fact it should be more afraid of congress if it does not. as for any prospect of engagement we should continue to let them know in no uncertain terms the united states will not negotiate at the expense of the u.s. national security and that of our allies instead of working with the united states and the community to disarm, they called on the united states and south korea to hold

we will not look exclusively at north korea. we'll look at any country that chooses to do business with this outlaw machine. we will not have patience for stalling or talking our way down to a watered-down resolution. yesterday's icbm escalation requires an escalated diplomatic and anomic response. time is short. action is required. the world is on notice. if we act together, we can still prevent a catastrophe and we can rid the world of a grave threat. if we fail to act in a serious way, there will be a difference response. much of the burden of enforcing un sanction rest with china. 90% of trade is from china. will work with china and any and every country that believes in peace but we will not repeat the inadequate approaches of the past that have brought us to the start day. we cannot forget the multiple missile tests this year or yesterday's escalation. we cannot forget otto warmbier and others that north korea continues to hold. we cannot forget the threats to our friends and allies from the world. we will not forget, and

north korea should by no means underestimate the firm commitment of korea and the u.s. in this regard. i also urge pyongyang to promptly return to the negotiating table for denuclearization of the korean peninsula. national security leaves no room for either compromise or concession. on this occasion, the u.s. and president trump's firm resolve is noted. with great appreciation. the republic of korea will strive to strengthen u.s. capabilities, while building up its own capacity to defend itself. as we undertake these endeavors, bilateral cooperation and defense technologies will gather further traction. economic partnership between our countries forms an essential pillar for future oriented development of the alliance. we've both agreed on this. economic growth and job creation are promoted to ensure our peoples enjoy greater mutual benefits through the collective efforts we committed to make. third, as we fight against terrorism and other global challenges together, the alliance, as agreed by ourselves, will be broadened and developed in a global partnership, as we mo

coming up on our chimerica the united states and south korea responded to north korea's latest missile test with a combined military test and a missile or launches of their own we've got reaction from around the globe over the rising tension in the korean peninsula. protests erupted days before the g twenty summit in homburg in germany where u.s. president on a trump and russian president vladimir putin are set to meet on friday and russian forces reported a successful bombing of the self-proclaimed islamic state in syria and iraq this morning all that coming up. good afternoon it is wednesday july fifth poor pm in washington d.c. i'm on your part until you're watching our team america we begin this hour with the growing tensions in the korean peninsula the united nations security council is holding an emergency session over north korea's latest missile launch the emergency meeting comes at the request of japan the united states and south korea u.s. representative to the u.n. and nikki haley called the escalation alarming the united states is prepared to use the full range of our capab

and the threat posed by north korea's nuclear weapons program. north korea is estimated to have enough material for 13 to 21 nuclear weapons and could produce enough nuclear material for an additional seven warheads per year. we believe it has carried out five nuclear tests in's 2006. we must operate on the assumption that on the current trajectory, north korea will be able to develop intercontinental missiles capable of hitting the mainland united states in addition to alaska. extensivee had an sanctions regime, including the security council, there is not an adequate enforcement of the sanctions. there's been lots of leakage. for years, north korea has found ways to evade international sanctions, relying on a complex network of front companies and aliases to gain access to the international financial system. a u.n. panel of expert released a report this past february when the panel described these illicit financial networks, stating, the business conducted by some of these networks generates significant revenue for the north korean regime, and

very difficult to take any measures without south korea south korea. the maybe your perception is the japan/korea relations are not favorable. but politically, unfortunately that is true. there were ups and downs of the relations between japan and south korea. but i have been working at the sdf and then i became the chief of staff. and during that period, the air, sea, the ground of south korea i think we have had always good relations, military basis and political relations sometimes is different. so in terms of the personal exchange, blue house, operational office turned down the request. the military members of the korea could not come and we could not visit them. there has been good collaboration between japanese and the korean forces, and this issue has been discussed and maintained efforts to conclude we came to the very close to conclusion, that was frozen. finally geasomia has been put in place and the frequency is not very high, but the majority of them are maritime exercise. but recently, the bmd, tri-lateral, the information exchange, traini

first thing, to go to war with korea we have to consider the lives in korea. we have more nuclear bombs than anybody else in the world. we have interceptors in the sky that can intercept anything that korea -- and they only have a few of them, they only have a few nuclear weapons. war is a moneymaking scheme. it is ridiculous to talk about going -- and this man just acts crazy. he knows good and well he will not attack america because he be completely annihilated. he knows that for a fact. so we are talking about going to war. all of our kids are going to have to pay the price of a war that can be prevented. it is completely out of reach. i mean, we are the most powerful country in the world. korea is not even in our ballpark. host: how do you prevent this? do you feel like it is escalating right now? how do you de-escalate? caller: it can't escalate to the point of going to war. like i said, the man is not crazy. he knows good and well if he sends any missiles in our direction he will be annihilated. he knows that. we are saying korea is doing this and doing

or to threaten north korea. our pressure campaign is designed to make the cost of the regime's programs too exorbitant. as we, as has been said, we want to bring north korea to its senses and not to its knees. however we will respond accordingly to threats against us or our allies. we remain open to talks with the dprk, but it must first cease its unlawful nuclear and missile programs, and bring an end to its pattern of dangerous aggressive behavior in the region. we are not going to negotiate our way back to the negotiating table. while our partners around the globe have begun to take steps to increase pressure on north korea, unfortunately we do not see any signs that north korea is willing to engage in credible talks on denuclearization at this time. we will continue to appeal to countries around the world to take actions in opposition to north korea's unlawful ballistic missile and nuclear perhaps to make clear to the dprk that pursuing its unlawful programs will only increase its isolation. while addressing

you could fire it from south korea into or targets in north korea.s designed to be very time sensitive, all-weather. you could go against a fixed target. you could potentially even try and go against targets with some mobility. but it's more about the message that this is sending. this is the u.s. and the south koreans trying to send a visible message north. we have weapons. if you attack, if you have another provocation, we could prosecute -- we could go against your targets. let's be clear. this is not aimed at going against north korean ballistic missiles, but it could potentially maybe go against launch site, fixed targets that are devoted to the missile program to the nuclear weapons program potentially. not the missile launches themselves. but this is not something we've -- for. normally when the u.s. tries to have a show of force, if you will, they'll fly aircraft over south korea and make sure that the world sees that video. this video this time, a bit different. >> and i want you to take us through this video. just tell us what we are seeing

so this is what north korea was looking for and what south korea, the u.s., was afraid of. >> reporter: exactly right. there is what north korea is claiming at this point. looking at the figures there, experts are trying to figure out how far the range is and how far it could hit. experts saying it could hit potentially alaska. but what we are hearing from the north koreans is triumphant acknowledgment, triumphant announcement that they have launched an icbm. they say it is successful. they even said that they could now target the whole of the world. now clearly with the figures that they have given us, that's not accurate. but it shows that they have made a significant leap in technology if, in fact, this is all accurate. we are being shown images on kctv, north korean television. there's a full article declaring that kim jong-un was there, he ordered this. we saw a photo of him signing something, and then a piece of paper which looked like it was the test order that he signed himself. putting kim jong-un, the north korean leader, center this icbm test as we've seen with all the missi

the possible damage to china, north korea and south korea. the idea that the american president would launch a strike of some form on north korea that would provoke a wider war would be very, very dangerous. >> the fallout would be felt by china. which is why it's resisting regime change. >> well, i think there are different ideas about what china may be thinking about. the amount of pressure on china has increased since president trump took office. and thing is also a great deal of irritation that there are larger questions for china, and the united states in that region than north korean military sort of nuclear weapons. and i think they're getting irritated with china there are voices within that country which suggests, well, maybe the best thing to do is actually to change the regime by china's behest in order to get a friendly government there and in order to maintain the division of that country. >> just to explain the apprehension in china about getting too involved with north korea. because they don't want a nuclearized north korea do

we all know that china quite likes having north korea on its border, rather that than having south koreawith us troops. that is right, but if the militant north korea brings missile defences from the us into the area and a larger military presence on the korean peninsular none of that is anything that china wants and it is in fact in their interest to act before that does happen. it is obviously unacceptable does happen. it is obviously u na cce pta ble to does happen. it is obviously unacceptable to everybody that north korea keeps escalating the situation as it is, but we heard there that the military option has been reviewed. if there was a military option, what would it look like? well, i think it would have to be a last resort because you have in seoul a very large population within range of artillery fire from north korea and we have north korea that possess a nuclear device that even if it cannot be not very far can still cause a lot of damage so it would have to be something very swift and subtle but it would really bea swift and subtle but it would really be a last resort becaus

twenty like north korea. at the un today as we were hearing the american ambassador had some tough words as the world body mass in new york to discuss the next steps in dealing with the regime. a correspondent ned a taffy because at the you and i spoke to her idea. any agreement that the world body on the best way to respond to north korea's aggression. well we had a clear divide really you had the u. s. along with western partners in japan. alleged by nikki haley saying that there needed to be tough you tougher measures against north korea so nikki haley said that the kind of clear and sharp. military escalation from north korea meant a diplomatic possibility was really. closing in on site and so she said that the united states would use military force if necessary to protect its allies. she said the us would cut off trade with those who do business with north korea in violation of un u. s. resolution un resolutions. up but on the other side you had the russian and chinese who said for example russia said it

look at north korea.ing, the president of the united states, in a way that seems a fair reading of it to suggest that he's done trying to work with china on north korea. what do you do with something like that as you enter the g-20? >> well, chris, that's a really good question because remember just a few months ago shortly after the inauguration, one of the center pieces, one of the first things president trump did was meet with president xi and afterwards was very sort of flattering, they were both sort of flattering each oh and president trump believed that xi would be the key to north korea and the denuclearization. since that has not happened you've seen the rhetoric and the action between the two countries develop, get harsher, and more belligerent and not only that, you've seen president xi and president putin ahead of trump's visit get together in moscow as they did yesterday and put out their own north korea solution, and that was to the detriment of the united states policy, basically saying nor

we have no ambassador yet to south korea. we do not have an assistant secretary of asian affairs. >> understood, understood, but when you're dealing with the immediacy of what he's going to be facing at the g20, the meetings he's going to have, including the president of south korea, what do you expect and what do you think that needs to get done and realistically can get done when we're in a situation where they now have a missile that could reach alaska and may not be that far away from something that could reach the mainland u.s.? >> well, the third point that i want to make here is this. the president has a great opportunity now. he's going to be meeting with many of our allies, and he's got to start playing nice. there's so many complicating factors here. he's got to stop the bullying. listen, diplomacy -- >> are you suggesting he's going in now at some sort of disadvantage with our allies? is that what your point is? >> yes, i think so. well, he's angered our allies with his talk about cutting off trade. he's angered ou

so north korea is keen to separate the us from south korea. place on the korean peninsula, what chance of the korean peninsula, what chance of the escalating all of this?” the korean peninsula, what chance of the escalating all of this? i think there's very little chance of the escalating, because everything is falling into place how the north koreans wanted. we've got a confident china and i'm not at all convinced that china doesn't want to see north korea dominate the peninsular. we've got an american president who is clearly out of his depth. the more north korea's arsenal develops the more friction we will have between south korea and the us. we've already seen the south koreans do not want to install a missile defence system here because they are afraid of the negative economic repercussions from china and the current administration in seoul desperately wants to revert to some way of appeasing north korea. the current administration, these are former student radicals who really wa nt are former student radicals who really want to get the

south korea released a video simulating an attack on north korea. when asked why the pentagon did not shoot the missile down, a pentagon spokesman said the u.s. military did not employ an elaborate missile defense shield because it did not threaten the u.s. homeland. what worries u.s. officials is this two-stage missile was able to reenter the earths atmosphere and now has the range to hit alaska. the u.s. has dozens of interceptor missiles at bases in alaska and california to shoot down a rogue north korean missile in outer space. the navy has one less tool and its defense shield arsenal after the uss fitzgerald collided with a cargo ship. the fitzgerald has advanced radar and missiles that could be used to shoot down a ballistic missile. the navy's last test to shoot out a missile from a warship on june 22nd failed when the missile missed the target but the u.s. missile defense agency carried out a successful intercept of a mock icbm fired from the marshall islands in may. >> bret: jennifer griffin live at the pentagon. thank you. american soldier

now he's saying if north korea crosses the red line, south korea and the u.s. we don't have an official indication of what that red line is. certainly a potential icbm, if it turns out that it was that, is significant. dave? >> live in seoul. thank you. >>> the latest provocation from north korea coming ahead of president trump's second overseas trip. he departs for europe tomorrow for the g-20 summit. the president's meeting with vladimir putin may no longer be the main attraction. cnn's nic robertson live from abu dhabi for us. meetings between the president and several asian leaders now very much under the microscope. >> reporter: absolutely. president trump already planned to have a trilateral meeting with the south koreans and the japanese on the margins of the g-20ment sharper focus now -- of the g-20. sharper focus now. what is he going to say to xi jinping of china to get his support? he talks about hoping a move on north korea to sort this out. the reality is, you know, president trump and xi jinping, their relationship has tanked over the last few day

and south korea have fired missiles into show force against north korea. these disperse mass protests against the g twenty meeting and using water cannons. donald trump will have his first face to face talks with lattimer put now the g twenty summit on friday with one of the most and to separate it meetings obviously you're now confirmed. and russia and china call for a deescalation after north korea tests another bilis to. president xi jinping today to moscow. coming to live from moscow you're watching our team international welcome to the program i was started with a breaking news south korean and u.s. forces have fired missiles into the sea of japan in a display result towards north korea was part of a joint listing. between washington and according to officials of the axis science used. can be easily deployed next to science was a response to north korea's latest on tuesday which the pentagon the house confirmed it was an intercontinental ballistic missile and while u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson has released a statement calling for internationa

think korea is a threat. well it's pretty obvious they want to annihilate us right they have a very. hostile dictator it's very offensive towards united states it is to the whole thing without a warm beer as they have the missile and they tested it and. it's scary you know i don't know i mean are they really a threat are they will what are they really are are they really going to shoot over missiles i mean if we're going to have a nuclear holocaust i think that's a little bit much you know but i don't know if north korea is a as big of a threat as we're being as being perceived i don't feel that that they're amman and thread i think that they can start something however that can spike up globally what makes north korea a greater threat than i so. i don't know that's a good it's a great question i would think there undertook to build what they're both unpredictable and i think they have the ability of the atomic weapon i think right now isis is more of a threat the north korea but again and maybe ten fifteen y
