and south korea, as well.hat's really alarming, is that the south korean government has not been alert to this. they had been watching the changes in the satellite inventory, they had been receiving the reports, but they haven't haven't actually alerted the public about these developments, and it only came to light after the u.s. pulled out of afghanistan. this is the perfect timing for north korea. dareen: se-woong, you were mentioning a moment ago that the last nuclear test was back in 2017. so do you think that the north koreans are now on the path to conducting another one, with the revelations from the ground? >> well, i said it's a possibility. i don't think any one of us can say for sure that this will happen in the near future. what we can only acknowledge collectively is that north korea certainly feels impatient, and it wants to see response. what we have heard until now from the u.s. side under the biden administration is that it is, of course, open to a new dialogue with north korea without any con

north korea. dia relies on satellite images using these it says is detected a discharge of cooling water at the main nuclear plants and young beyond. and that suggests the reactor is operating. if the latest findings are correct, the you and nuclear watchdog says it's a deeply troubling development. it's believe young beyond react to produce plutonium for north korean nuclear arsenal. in the past. the white house says the a report underscores the urgent need for dialogue and diplomacy. whatever warmer relations that appear to be cultivated under former president donald trump seemed to have grown cold under his successor, joe biden. as u. s. military exercises were held with the south. unfortunately, the biden administration has been slow off the mark on the north korea file. of course they were dealing with the renewal of the strategic reduction pretty with russia, which happened in february. the resumption of talks with iran on the comprehensive plan of action by thing with will bit and also ther

we need to resume talks with north korea, even as north korea goes back to saber rattling. let's resume dialogue. there are still pieces to work on, and i do have some concerns about the mensuration moving too fast, and a resumption of dialogue, and again, i think the korea japan relationship is in a better place than it was a few years ago. there is still work to be done. rep. kim: let me just talk. i know a lot of issues, and even japan korea relations, i want to address that, but i want to address the u.s. korea alliance. you mentioned it. we both agree that the u.s. south korea alliance is strong and more friendly than ever. but i agree that there are areas in which we can improve upon it on both sides. first, in our meeting with the president and our counterparts and government officials, a lot of issues were dealt with, but even the president talked about the trading issues. south korea remains one of our largest trading partners in 10 years, after implementing the korea fda. we refer to it as the gold standard. it has strengthened our bilateral economic relationship

korea. from the center for strategic and international studies, this is 50 minutes. >> want to well come you all to a -- welcome you all to a special platform featuring congressmenamber rah and -- ami bera and young kim. these two individuals don't need much of an introduction, but for the sake of our recording going forward, i thought it'd be useful to introduce both of them to our very large and distinguished audience. congressman ami bera has represented california's 7th congressional district in the u.s. house of representatives since 2013. he's currently member of the house foreign affairs committee where he serves as chairman of the subcommittee on asia, the pacific, central asia and non-proliferation. he is also co-chair of the congressional study group on korea. so for those of you who are not familiar, the congressional study group on korea is the new legislative exchange, former onmembers of congress who are te cohosts for our broadcast today. involving current members of congress

michael says nobody has any interest in invading nor korea. ricardo desousa says north korea be testing the new usa administration to see how far they can go on can . is this a test for the, by the ministration? i don't really think. so i made the simplest reason for why north korea restarted this reactor and just potentially producing more simply because north korea and a nuclear weapon states that intends on keeping its nuclear arsenal on expanding its nuclear arsenal. qindzhong, it has been quite clear back in 2018 before the thomas with the south korean president of the us president got can john unused his new year's day address that year to call for the mass production of nuclear warheads. and of course, they've been isn't uranium, and now it only makes the react restart. just one thing is that in addition to the difficulties faced by north korea, economically and as a result of the panoramic in 20192020, particularly in the summer months on north 3 experienced a you know, a state of nuclear, sorry. natural disasters including flooding, i don't particularly dramatic flooding in 202

in north korea, they traveled according to south korea and military, about 800 kilometers. they reached an altitude of 60 kilometers before crashing to the sea, and that separates the korean peninsula from japan. now, the japanese condemned this. you actually have a suga, the japanese prime minister saying it is an outrageous act. and of course, it follows on from the testing over the weekend of what north korea claims to be a new type of long range cruise missile that has its neighbors extremely worried and it does this, the latest test has come on the visit all the way the the china is foreign minister to so it has ensured that that north career and north korean missile development has been top of the a gender and talks between when he and his south korean counterpart, south korea obviously wants to try to get negotiations with north korea back on track is looking for china's influence over north career is about the only country that is keeping north korea going to interject to intercede on its behalf, to put pressure on north korea to get them back to the negotiating tab

korea's nuclear program. though, you know, i do. i do tend to think that the short term, the more promising path that had especially were to shape kim jong as choices short of total disarmament to encourage north korea to stop qualitatively advancing its capabilities. to stop the quantitative growth of north korea's weapons fissile material for instance, having some kind of package of sanctions relief that could be implemented. what's not fact measures wire transfer the cheat or to not make good on their word. those sanctions could be reimpose may have some promise, but yeah, the print shop told us what they're looking for on the notion of north korea sort of. 1 you know, one of the, one of the things that i think makes doing diplomacy with north korea challenging, is that why would it's true that north korea has developed nuclear weapons after leaving the n p t is not comparable to india or pockets on because neither new delhi nor ever actually joined the n p t to begin with the fact that north korea pulled

let's turn to north korea.est missiles this week, one of which experts think could carry a nuclear warhead and reach japan. this is despite sanctions, a collapsed economy, hunger, poverty and closed borders. celia, how concerned should the international community be, particularly north korea's neighbours, about what they have been testing? absolutely. i think we should be very concerned. - not in the short term. i think things will - continue as they will. north korea will continue testing, it will continue l calling for an end to i sanctions, i don't think anything is going to change - but in the medium term i think there is a lot to be concerned about. i whether north korea we have had reportsjust this week— of farmers complaining that these are coming i in to steal their crops l from the fields in order to simply feed themselves i or to go and sell their crops at market because people are so hungry _ around 40% of the country, . we think, isn't getting enough to eat on a regular basis. so there is that. this

we have breaking news tonight out of north korea. the state run news agency there is reporting that new long rage cruise missiles were tested successfully. cnn's alex marquardt ngjoins me now. what is the significance? >> it is very significant. we are waiting to see if this has been confirmed. we have not heard from the south koreans or the u.s. what we know is entirely coming from north korean state media. they say they have tested a new type of long range cruise missile. they say it hit targets around 1500 kilometers away. they say they had been developing the missile over the past two years. in this official announcement from north korean state media, this was no mention of the dictator kim jong-un, whether he was there to see the launch. they say, again, this is state media, quote, this type of missile is yet another effective deterrence for more reliably guaranteeing the security of our state and strongly containing the military maneuvers of the hostile forces against the dprk. we have reached out to the state and the pentagon

with north korea. very much top of the agenda and the south koreans hoping that china can use its extensive influence over north korea north career. it's pretty much relies completely on china as a lifeline to keep it. basically as struggling along to china, to use some of that influence to get the north koreans back to the negotiating table. but this is an example of just despite north korea dependence upon china, that even that there is a control. there is a limit to which china is able to control its trouble. so neighbor in north korea money, thanks for that. rob mcbride buffers live and so the democratic governor of the us state of california has defeated an attempt to remove him from office in a recall election. the republican led push to hold the vote with fuel by over, gavin, use and handling the current of ours pandemic. it's only the 4th election off. it's kind of us history. we said yes to all those things that we hold dear as california and i would argue as americans, economic justice, socia

south korea. which was cut last year was re—established and then cut again. and north korea had warned that it would kind of give payback to south korea after it took part in those military exercises with the united states in august. that's something that happens every year, north koreas says they do not like his military exercises happening an aborted, so could be that this is in response to that. but it certainly will highlight to the biden into officials here that pyongyang does have new and emerging capabilities. and we heard last month from satellite images that its main nuclear plant is once again operational. so pyongyang may have been quiet, but it is certainly been busy. we will stay on the nuclear theme, actually, because the un's nuclear watchdog says it's reached a deal with iran to resume surveillance of some of the country's nuclear facilities. the new government in tehran will allow international monitors to service the cameras that gather data at some key locations. iran's earlier

this is being seen as a highly provocative act by north korea. the south korean military have been given us more details. after analyzing the flight path of these 2 missiles, they've been deemed to be short range, ballistic miss styles. they were fired from an inland launch site and they both travelled around 800 kilometers, apparently reaching out to toot of about 60 kilometers before a crashing into the sea that separates the korean peninsula. from japan, the launch is also confirmed by the japanese. they are extremely annoyed by this late his lord jesse heed a suit, the prime minister describing this as an outrageous behavior. and it does come as the chinese foreign minister is in a soul for talks with his counterpart here. and it's really overshadowed his visit . the south koreans are hoping that china can use its extensive influence over north korea as the, the country that really supports it and keeps that north korea going, especially a joining all of its miriana problems and crises that it is facing to use its employees to get it back to

i don't think north korea wants to conquer south korea or anything like that, i think north korea reallyhe weapons are intended for offence. i think they are intended deterrence. local deterrence will be improved if north korea had nuclear weapons that so that is what they are moving to, moving away from surveillance from the us, to smaller weapons to use locally should the conditions come up. i think that is why the biden administration haven't said much, doesn't change the balance that much, it does brave the threat against us forces in —— raised the threat. i'm not sure it actually dramatically ramps things up way test before 2017 did. the biden administration is so busy with covid that i don't think thatis with covid that i don't think that is why they have said very much. ., ., ., , ., ., much. north korean state media has told the _ much. north korean state media has told the world _ much. north korean state media has told the world that _ much. north korean state media has told the world that is - much. north korean state media has told the world that is more l has told the world

so north korea normally tests - tested before? sure. so north korea normally tests ballistic. to from recent years. a nuclear capable cruise missile is nothing they have tested in the past, and also they tested and just now. these present a different type of challenge for missile defence and deserve to be taken seriously. and deserve to be taken seriously-— and deserve to be taken seriously. and deserve to be taken seriousl . ~ ., ., , , seriously. what does the test tell us about _ seriously. what does the test tell us about north _ seriously. what does the test tell us about north korea's i tell us about north korea's ability to advance its weapons programme? you know, this is happening against food shortages and the pandemic. also, they've decided their nuclear capabilities and missile forces which deliver their nuclear weapons are absolutely a top national priority. so pandemic or no pandemic, economic difficulties or no economic difficulties, they will continue to find ways to invest in these capabilities. and i think we absolutely see north korea continuing to do so. the

so a gentle reminder there for south korea just of the economic closeness and in terms of north korea, because that's likely to be a concern for, for both nations is likely to be any progress on this issue. i mean, whenever south korea and china talk north korea will always be there on the agenda . china obviously exerts a huge influence over north korea, especially given north korea is continuing development of its mythos. and we got a confirmation of that with this, a testing of a new type of cruise missile over the weekend moon j. and the president of south korea has less than a year left of his presidency to run. he would daily like to restart these stall negotiations, and china is obviously very important in that. and there is an opportunity potentially in the aging winter olympics of next february. when we might see a possibility of using that event to restart negotiations much as the pill chang winter olympics in 2018 here in south korea, led to the sol ring and improving of relations with north korea. and all that summit diplomacy between the leaders of north korea, the u. s.

now china, north korea is only major allies in talks with south korea, trying to revive negotiations on de nuclear zation. earlier i spoke to robert kelly . he is a professor of political science and diplomacy, abuse and national university. he says, china's influence is substantial, but limited. i do actually think that the chinese can sort of help us turn the screws a little bit, but chinese don't want to do that too much in so far as they don't want the regime to collapse. right. the chinese were like north korea into exist for the less erratic and briefly less threatening weapons. and so the chinese always sort of been turned back and forth and back and forth on this went down from was president of chinese. we're happy to push north korea onto the americans and much from try to fix it. that, of course, failed for all sorts of reasons. and you know, and now it's back in the position where the south koreans kind of looking around trying to see if they can for corral the american, the chinese to talk to north korea sort of helpful them over. but it's worth pointing out. in fairness,

it said to float, 1500 kilometers and hit targets in north korea is territorial waters. and it's enough to make its neighbors worry for cantankerous along the pass. there was a question about whether we were notified by the north korean military about the massage. i will answer the question by saying that as you know, the south north military communication hotline is not working a single kid, or if it's true that north korea fired a missile with a range of 1500 kilometers. it's threatening the peace and safety of japan. and its surrounding region. we are highly concerned about this ah, described as a strategic weapon. it's flawless, provocative, and the ballistic missiles north korea tested in the past and isn't subject to un sanctions, but seems intended as a reminder from north korea of its military strength. i've been even the chinese are concerned about this to write me proper. tiny scholars would event and you know, if you watch chinese tv and stuff like that, they actually talk about like north korea or pullover and sort of restrain itself. right? but if you're nor
