the things that north korea has, the international norms that north korea has violated. he talked about nuclear and ballistic missiles. of course. but he also talked about the murder of his half brother, in malaysia, using chemical and biological weapons. he talked about north korea's proliferation, past proliferation. he talked about the japanese abduction, the abductions of the japanese citizens that north korea conducted in the past. and he also talked about human rights. and about the detention and the eventual death of otto warmbier. fast forward a year later. at the u.n. general assembly speech in 2018. just a month ago. president trump said, missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. nuclear testing has stopped. and remains of our fallen heroes are being returned to lay at rest in american soil. and then he went on to thank president moon for facilitating a conversation, the diplomacy with kim jong-un, and this was in addition to the, what i feel are gratuitous compliments to kim jong-un for engaging in diplomacy. in that same speech, president

south korea.he third was the more important one from my perspective, and that was is north korea would work toward denuclearization. the returnal one was of american pow remains. so there were four points. pretty disappointing, from my perspective and others, but it was important that president trump was able to meet chairman kim on a face-to-face level at that juncture. host: this is the latest visual information we have about what north korea is developing. the missile operating bases across the country. what does this tell you? what is kim jong-un developing? it is important to remember that north korea, despite the fact that it has not done ballistic missile tests or thatar tests in a year, they are still conducting ofearch and development their nuclear and ballistic missile programs. kim jong-un has said that he would, as well as mass-producing nuclear weapons material. their latest report is not surprise me that the north koreans are doing that. i want to share with you what vice president m

by talks with north korea.rt in the training. sung—yoon lee is a scholar of korean and east asian studies at tufts university in boston. i asked him how significant the resumption of military drills is. i don't think they are very significant. even for north korea, one would be hard—pressed to argue this is a major provocation. both the us and south korea have already cancelled large—scale combined military exercises, one that was scheduled for december as well. so i think south korea is trying to paint itself to the us, principally, as not an excessively appeasement—prone party. the us has right now some misgivings about south korea's intention to resume the very generous kind of schemes, the unilateral aid that we have seen in the past when south korea was pouring into north korea's state coffers almost ever year for many years in the past. let's talk about the state of affairs, if we can, at the moment. they are complicated, but we heard from mike pompeo earlier saying he was optimistic about negotiation of

shannon: it was canceled by north korea. >> we have no inventory of south korea's nuclear weapons norave a timetable for their destruction. what appears to be happening is north korea is trying to wait us out, they know the sanctions regime is very fragile, we depend on russia and china, breaking the sanctions and south korea which is interested in more economic collaboration with north korea and they are hoping they don't have to give up much on the path to denuclearization in return to economic benefit. that is what kim jong un is all about. heather: their cooperation with the sanctions, we do have competing interests with various countries but we need them in order for this to work, if the world will see north korea restrained in any way. >> this is the diplomatic challenge for mike pompeo and i'm glad he is the one leading the way with his team, envoy from north korea, who is very exceptional talent as well in this area but that is the challenge. mike pompeo has to convince south korea to stay the course, to pressure china and russia to the extent we can. north korea is exporting

secretary pompeo has to convince south korea to stay the course. pressure china and russia to the extent that we can. but north korea is still exporting their labor and weapons in their conducting ship to ship oil transfers. breaking sanctions enough, they hope so that their economy doesn't completely fall apart while they pressure us not to push them too hard on denuclearization. >> shannon: one mit professor and nuclear expert says this, also in "the wall street journal." so long as there's no deal, and there is no deal, it would be foolish for kim jong un to give up or even stop improving his short-range missile operating bases. the singapore summit was positive, these guys have some kind of relationship now but there is no deal and how can we expect him to stop doing anything? >> right. i was at singapore with fox news reporting live in the president and kim jong un kim jong un did establish an overarching framework but now it's almost as if both sides are jockeying for position to determine how we're going to negotiate. and it's extraordinaril

easily be described as one administration after another in both political parties with regard to north korea where promises were made for denuclearization, relief was given to north korea, then promises were broken. >> but to hold this next summit, does this administration need to get a complete list from the north koreans of their weapons and their facilities to hold this next summit? >> i think it will be absolutely imperative in this next summit that we come away with a plan for identifying all of the weapons in question, identifying all the development sites, allowing for inspections of those sites and the plan for dismantling a nuclear weapon. the goal here is the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. what a heard from president moon and what i head from prime minister abe is that really the world is united behind that commitment. we're going to keep the pressure on. we're going to keep the sanctions in place. president trump continues to be very hopeful that in that next summit we'll come out for a plan for actually implementing and achieving denuclearization. >> he said h

north korea's nuclear ballistic missile program seems to be continuing even though u.s.resident donald trump says it stopped a u.s. think tank has identified sixteen hidden bases mostly in remote mountainous areas the report was based on new images from commercial satellites and improvements seem to have been made at more than a dozen of the bases the network has already known to u.s. intelligence agencies but north korea has never acknowledged it roslyn jordan has more from washington d.c. . it really should come as no surprise to anyone that north korea is continuing to develop its conventional ballistic missiles program as well as trying to develop nuclear weapons neither was prohibited by the agreement which the north korean leader kim jong il and the u.s. president donald trump signed when they met in singapore earlier this year and in fact critics of this agreement say that not only was there is no prohibition but there was also no way that the u.s. or any other country for that matter could check up on pyongyang's behavior in either arena now comes this report fro

that of course is very worrisome because south korea has a substantial threat of north korean nuclear missiles the question now becomes what to do there are a number of sanctions that have been imposed on north korea by both the united nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the in an international community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important for testers on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program. now some of the two hundred fifty thousand people forced from their homes by wildfires in the u.s. st

>> i am a north korea skeptic.rew administrations as their nuclear arsenal has grown in order to be able to threaten the continental united states. the announcement may not necessarily be a huge development with respect to the capabilities of north korea and likely to be a weapon that was under development prior to the kim jong un and president trump sitting down together, however it shows a return to the militaristic stance of north korea. it is in contrast to his statements of seeking peace. you have to give this administration credit that this president has done something different. he rightly turned to china and said there would not be a nuclear north korea without china and crippling sanctions on itself and under took a build up around north korea that brought them to the table. we are not seeing much of it even though north korea made statements of commitment to denuclearization that appear to be accepted by south korea. that of course leaves the united states still at risk. >> that's why i wonder if north ko

these days is north korea.the trip by secretary pompeo to north korea -- to meet with kim jong chill in york was canceled. the clear that cancellation is because of logistics or because of substance, if it's logistics is logistics but if it's substance, my guess is we really are approaching the point where the rubber has to hit the road on both sides. for the north korean site it means actually putting some facilities on the table for declaration and inspection by iaea inspectors on the ground and from your side it's the north korean demand to lift sanctions if north korea is going to take those sorts of actions. what's been i think of discussion has been a satellite, the main satellite launch facility, a nuclear test site and, of course, the old nuclear complex. i think the midterm elections actually may be a good thing for korea policy in the sense that there will be many more demands of the administration for transparency with regard to come very close and high-level negotiations that have been really only w

washington has voiced some concerns about the cooperation between the two koreas.they do not want to upset one of its allies. they want to try to give up its allies. they want to try to give up its weapons and also continue talking to the us. a new study in romania suggests that the country's forests, including some of the most ancient in europe, are disappearing at an alarming rate. the national forest inventory suggests that 38 million cubic metres of trees, that's about 36 times the volume of empire state building, are being cut every year. more than half of that are cut illegally. nick thorpe sent this report from the country's south—west. agent 6reen have been investigating the forest. the river valley, one of the last great beech forest of europe. the wilderness home of brown bears and wolves. but more than half the trees in this national park face the chop. this footage was shot by agent 6reen, this footage was shot by agent green, the remaining environmental group campaigning to stop all logging in the national parks. the film this confrontation with forest

should north korea act unwisely.er he wrote, why would kim jong-un insult me by calling me old when i would never call him short and fat? oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen. then, a surprising shift. in a bizarre late night scene, south korean officials announced from the white house lawn that our president would meet kim jong-un of north korea. as the courtship evolved, a senior north korean official delivered a message from kim to trump in a novelty-sized envelope. the two leaders went on to meet in singapore, a choreographed affair where the american president described a very special bond with the north korean dictator. trump returned claiming there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. then at a campaign rally in west virginia came this. >> and you know the interesting, when i did it, and i was really being tough and so was he, and we were going back and forth, and then we fell in love. okay? no, really, he wrote me beautiful letters, and they're great letters.

but i take a slightly different view on the north korea deal. before president trump took office, the problem was nobody knew, nobody knew how to coerce a hostile nation into giving up the nuclear weapons it already has and stopping its nuclear program. nobody knew how to do that. nobody still knows how to do that. and it's probably not going to happen. so, you know, i don't think this summit is going to bear the fruit that the president hopes it's going to bear. but i do think that the lessening of the extreme rhetoric on both sides is probably, on balance, a good thing. it probably provides a kind of cooling down period and who knows, maybe a dialogue that, you know, can start even if they're telling lies to each other, dialogue can start that at least forestalls conflict, and who knows, maybe down the road, 20 years from now, something bears fruit. >> michael steele, netanyahu, are we in a better place? is it better that they met than not meeting and is the world any safer because of it? >> i think to gene's last point, yeah, we're better tha

hidden bases in north korea.s saying any missile at these bases coming from these bases could take a nuclear warhead. what does this mean for the progress that president trump says has been made? >> kate, it means that the art of deal is really the art of the steal in north korea's favor. everything that the president told us was happening with his great success in negotiating with north korea is not happening. and the north koreans have talked about dismantling one of their missile sites at the same time in secret they're moving forward apparently with 16 others. the challenge here is this. i'm glad that president trump moved to diplomacy and was seeking to engage north korea. better than the fire and fury we were looking at a year ago, but you actually have to get something for that engagement. thus far, the only person who has gotten anything out of it really is kim jong-un. legitimacy from being able to meet with president trump on the world stage. being able to move forward with his program even when he says

forces in korea and japan all the way to tokyo, perhaps even farther. so this is not an insignificant threat. >> so the interesting thing is that that is what caused the amazing public rhetoric from president trump. when american intelligence people like yourself and the intelligence agencies realized that it was no longer just nuclear devices but delivery mechanisms like these intercontinental ballistic missiles, that's when everybody got really freaked out and really worried. however, have the north koreans demonstrated that they have perfected that missile delivery system? do you know -- from what you know in the public sphere or with intelligence that they can deliver a nuclear warhead onto the united states? >> so i think the general assessment from the expert community is that they tested two missiles last year. they clearly had the range to reach the continental united states. there was also an assessment prior to that. they have an ability to miniaturize a nuclear warhead and mate it with that ballistic missile. of course they haven't actually t

with south korea. saying that kim is his best friend. that was letting off some of the pressure to compel north korea to action. but, look -- it's a little bit different in that, when the negotiations with iran was occurring, it was happening for years behind closed doors. we weren't kept apprised about every aspect of the change until the deal was done for that so i'd rather happen. i did like the deal, but that's how it came about. this is the equivalent of that, but is being played out in the public sphere. every time there's a setback or something moving forward, we see about it and it seems like this is a really long period of time when it's only been a few month months. i'm not to the point yet up saying "let's cut off all negotiations and get ready for the military option," but i do think this is a very concerning thing. i do think it's probably time for the president and the secretary of state to begin to ratchet up that pressure again, militarily, economically, et cetera. >> dagen: i want to point out, really quickly -- we smile
