policy on north korea. >> it will be changing the political environment and they need to have an appropriate time frame for effective intervention i think. so, this relative position and in order to prevent and eliminate the dangers of north korea's nuclear threat it is necessary to put in the effort to meticilously assess and work how to create concrete politics. so, moon will do exactly that. it will sustain the strength into the u.s. alliance and mutual trust. i want to pick up a point bruce just raised which is the u.s. o korea free trade agreement. is that a potential crash point between the two given president trump's recent comments about renegotiating or even ending the treaty? do you think this could be an issue? >> i think korea has to take it seriously when the trump administration suggests it wants to review the agreement. my understanding from advisors is they look the agreement because they began the process of negotiating with the george w. bush administration. in a way the risk of everyone and the flash point issues, and there is probably some room to address concerns that are out

and the new president of south korea moon jae-in wants it removed and this is a matter of contention between washington and seoul for some timee united states is quite effective with missile defenss s if we move the aegis missile destroyers off of the coast of north korea, but also, we don't have much in the way of the effective defenses in japan and elsewhere and we have patriot batteries, but not really the best stuff that we have. and in protecting the american homeland, we have 30 intercepters in alaska and california and they are particularly unreliable, and maybe successful is tests 50% of the time when they know that a test is going to occur, and in the real life situation, it is going to be much lower probability of success. so only the things that we really have that work are the thadd system in south korea, and the navy's a aegis system that we can deploy off of the coast of south korea. >> given the fact that south korea is the easiest and the most direct target why would moon jai-in, and the most e cent president choose to remove a system like that? >> well, it is a great question, baecause the chinese are very up

you have spent, visited north korea eight times.e negotiate ed the release of three americans from the country. and the president was successful in his negotiations with egypt when he had el sisi to the white house in getting aya ha jazzie, an american, out of jail there. so, the question now becomes this meeting he'll have with the president of the philippines, duterte, what's the risk-reward in that? can he get things from someone who is a blatant abuser of human rights, who's admitted to killing with his own hands? what is the risk-reward for having him to the white house? >> well, the risk is that he's a human rights violator. he admits, even suspects ex-judiciex extrajudicial killings. it's a terrible mistake. i think he should walk it back. the philippines is important to us. we have military bases, a strategic relationship, a long history. yes, they're important in containing china, but they're not important with north korea. but apart from that, when you have the president of egypt -- egypt's an important ally -- but you hav

time has changed. moon know about the human rights issues in north korea. he also thinks about north korea and south korea having to get some channel to eliminate the nuclear weapons. so, i think he tried all kinds of ways to include human rights issues. i think he tried to get something and about the human rights issues. >> thank you, retired fema, currently teach disaster preparedness in japan and sometimes in south korea. asking about a domestic issue within the country, the south korean government has had real difficulties responding to emergencies within their country that hurt the civilian population. thinking about the seawall ferry disaster from three years ago. any indications that that can of issue will be on the agenda for this new administration? thank you. >> disaster emergency response. >> is a going to be a higher government priority? >> i did not see that addressed among the top 20 policy priorities. >> [inaudible] didn't -- actually, under [indiscernible] there was an effective function within the blue house. we are working to see how the r

it is 7:00 eastern time, i am ana cabrera, we're live in the cnn news room, thank you for joining us. the pentagon is trying to learn more about another missile launch from north korea, launched early sunday local time from a site close to the country's west coast. a u.s. defense official now tells us it has traveled about 430 miles. this comes, this latest launch comes just after two weeks ago when there was a missile test that officials say was a failure. alexander field is joining us now, alexander, do we have an indication about the type of projectile that was fired? >> that is something that officials will all look into, trying to see what else they can learn about the projectile that was fired, see what they can gather about that firing, and about the ballistic missile program. you have heard north korea say they will continue the launches, one official saying you will see this happen on a weekly basis, and prior to what happened this morning you had already seen nine ballistic missiles launched at least over six different days since just the start of the year and just the beginning of the trump administration. now, this latest projectile seems to have happene

korea and the missiles that it has? well, it would appear that something like this missile has been tested several times, especially in theers the april timeframe. this failed. others have succeeded. north korea ta kes others have succeeded. north korea takes time to get them to work. 0nce they do, we should be more concerned. this is very advanced. they are pushing across a wide range, making us wonder about why they are doing so much. the americans, the japanese, they have once again condemned the missile launch. south korea was taking a more conciliatory approach not that long ago, but that would now appear to be out of the window. it is very difficult for the south koreans to proceed. north korea has been not exactly proceed. north korea has been not exa ctly wo n proceed. north korea has been not exactly won a peaceful track. they have been defying the un security council, neighbouring countries telling them to stop this kind of provocation, umm, and, so, it makes it very difficult for the south korean government to do what it wa nts to korean government to do what it wants to do which is to work with north korea. fr

korea and the missiles that it has? well, it would appear that something like this missile has been tested several times, especially in therea takes time to get them to work. once they do, we should be more concerned. this is another advance. they are pushing across a wide range, making us wonder about why they are doing so much. let's go to the philippines, where government troops are battling to retake the southern city of marawi from rebels linked to the so—called islamic state group. while many residents have fled the city, 2,000 civilians are believed to be trapped. at least 19 civilians have been killed. our south—east asia correspondent, jonathan head, has the latest. gunfire. this has proven to be a much tougher fight than the government expected. soldiers from the philippines armed forces are trying to move forward to recapture parts of marawi, but they have to be careful and slow. the insurgents are well—armed. they positioned snipers in buildings across the city. at times, the government has used airstrikes to try to dislodge them. until recently, over the past year they have been effective in fighting the mili

the chinese treat them like a poor province, which they do, and the chinese feel like north korea, every timeo do something bad, china's name gets dragged through the mud. they are stuck with each other. north korea leverages that greatly to their advantage. they know that china will never allow north korea to collapse. they are willing to push the envelope as far as they can. that creates problems for the united states because the united states has a policy that is aimed at treating china as part of the solution, which is that if 85% of north korea's external trade is with china, we can go after slave labor exports and all these other sorts of things, but if 85% of the traders with china, then china is part of the solution in terms of cutting that trade down and putting pressure on north korea. the problem is china is never going to put a truly pressing amount of economic squeeze on north korea because for fear that they will collapse the regime. the chinese and masseter himself had a op-ed -- ambassador himself had a op-ed were he essentially said that. china is willing to put some pressure

. >> reporter: yes, this was launched early this morning, north korea time, it's the ninth ballistic missile test carried out by kim jong-un this year alone. now, today it was a short-range scud missile launched from a site near north korea's east coast. it was tracked by the u.s. pacific command as it flew about 250 miles for about six minutes before hitting the sea between korea and japan. now, today japan's prime minister called these launches retreated provocations and that they are unacceptable. china, north korea's only ally, is certainly getting more frustrated. all this week we drove along the 800-mile chinese border with north korea and stopped and searched by military officials several times. now, president trump has not indicated what he will do next. his defense secretary expressing his continued concerns. >> the bottom line is it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into combat. it is a direct threat to the united states. they have been very clear in their rhetoric. >> reporter: the fact is kim jong-un is improving his weapon technology and he has now launched three

week after a very successful launch from north korea, was just last sunday we saw the launch and missile that landed closer to russia than japan. at the time analysts weighed in and said this was a projectile that appeared to have flown at a higher altitude and farther, that led analysts to conclude north korea has taken a significant step forward in terms of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile. >> that is, of course, north korea to develop a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead all the way to the continental u.s. the success of that test a week ago prompted swift reaction from countries around the world. the u.n. security council launched stricting sanctions on north korea. a week ago they called on all countries against north korea. the trump administration has since tried to thwart some cooperation from the kim jong-un regime. the latest launch of this unidentified projectile also comes at another politically sensitive time right as u.s. president trump taxi off for his international trip. >> absolutely. you can bet we are going to get reaction from the trump administration as they're in saudi arabia. this is, of cour

just two points since i'm out of time. .he sanctions it is not only to pressure north korea. i think it helps to undermining -- you are hoping to create instability or change. is taking money away. i think if this information that we talk about. it is very important but i want to make the point that it should not only be targeted towards the public. i think we should try to target the elites because we're trying to get to messages across. this is not going to guarantee your survival and livelihood. andou are able to get out there was some sort of amnesty because it is the only supports that has kept the regime going. me of what myds -- first one is a view from south korea, not represented south korea of course. >> thank you for having me here. -- i was wondering about , "boomle of this seminar or bust." he actually asked me to talk about the south korean perspective, but unfortunately i'm not the government. i know a lot of people inside the korean government. i have many friends inside. understand about the view of the south korean government to north korean policy. that tha

cha, if nothing changes, is it just a matter of time until north korea has an icbm that can hit america with a nuclear weapon on top? >> yes, sir, i think that's true. it is just a matter of time if nothing changes. >> why do they want to achieve that goal? >> i think there are a couple of reasons. one is a desire for their own domestic narrative. this current leader has none of the mythology of his father or grandfather. so he needs some big thing that he can point to because he doesn't have the economy or anything else to point to. the other is that it's part of a military strategy to be able to deter the united states from flowing forces and aiding our allies in the region. >> do all of you agree with that assessment? let the record reflect a positive response. so in many ways, the korean war is not over for north korea in their own minds, is that fair to say? >> i think that's right, sir. >> they literally believe we are going to come in on any given day and take their country away from them. is that fair to say? >> i certainly think that's the justification to their own audience of

the last time we spoke to the leader of north korea was around the time of the korean war. this abandonment -- what matters also is not just the engagement like obama engaged cuba and iran with effectively more ribilities and no real benefit to us. but it depends on what he's trying to accomplish and he's clearly ying to accomplish a safer world. charles: when obama engaged the world with that apology tour it was always that america was the bad guy and we were making up for the social justice kinds of thing that wasn't just applicable to the way progressives thought about america and how mean spirited we had tboant rest of the world. >> even with that approach when he did engage cuba, they were the same arguments being levied against president trump. we have to bear in mind he's dealing with an issue that has been in existence for four presidencies. these statements are drawing attention to the fact that he's attempting to make big, bold:moves to shake up how things are typically done. i think he deserves a shot to do things differently. tammy: i would argue if north korea

that's the third missile test by north korea in a month's time. all three seem to have failed. now president trump down played that latest launch in that interview on sunday. he also said once again that he's prepared to use force against south korea, military force. on top of all of this another military asset headed to the region. japan's largest war ship there from text a u.s. supply ship head for the "uss carl vinson". national security adviser h.r. mcmaster on the phone with his south korean counterparts o u.s. would stand by a deal to pay for that anti-missile defense system. >> all eyes on the situation there. >>> we'll turn back to the severe weather that claimed over a dozen lives. bill karins is here with a warning for 80 million americans. certainly the threat not overyet. >> dangerous afternoon is heading our way lasting to this evening. 80 million people at risk. we'll start with storms in the ohio valley and moving over the appalachians. here's the timing. the threat really begins during the early afternoon. storms out there this morning but not severe levels. by t

time u.s. president acknowledged the terrible consequences that could result of a military strike against north korea. president trump: massive warfare with potentially millions of people being killed. that come as we would say, trump s trade. rupert: tensions are higher than at any time since north korea's young dictator, kim jong-un, came to power in 2011. despite the heated rhetoric, neither side wants a conflict. when tensions are high, so are the dangers of miscalculation. rupert wingfield-hayes, bbc news, tokyo. tim: for more on the escalating tensions on the korean peninsula and president trump's willingness to meet kim jong-un, i spoke earlier to p.j. crowley, a former spokesman for the u.s. state department. honored"e "i would be is so extraordinary here. >> it is stunning. i thought back initially to president bill clinton as private citizen went to pyongyang in 2009 and exchanged a meeting for freeing 2 journalists who had crossed over the border. it is something that he did for a deal. but it is not something he necessarily enjoyed. tim: what is going on here? within an hour, sean spicer
