we do not want a full-scale war on the korean peninsula. it would be great to take out the hackers, but what does "take out" mean? they don't have enough tech going in that country for an attack there to be significant. although you wonder if they could do it with their military and their government. i think it's going to take a lot of fine, technical minds to figure out what is an appropriate response that could really send a message -- >> what could this proportional response be? a lot of it is, north korea, what kind of nation is north korea? the president said the nature of the attack reveals a lot about the nature of the north korea regime. >> i think it says something interesting about north korea that they decided to have the state mount an all-out assault on a movie studio because of a satirical movie, starring seth rogen and james flacco. i love seth and i love james. but the notion that was a threat to them gives them some sense of the kind of regime we're talking about here. >> ambassador, what kind of regime are we talking about

in fact, actually too dry across south korea eastern locations of this korean peninsula, to see dry warnings. the dryness out towards the tropics is actually making this system to disbers, which is now a tropical storm status and likely to weaken steadily. but the rainfall amounts on top of the 400 have been piling up into eastern locations of the philippines. it's going to be adding up even more. so the rainfall accumulation on the land prone to flooding will heighten the risk for flooding. it could make way over south china sea, so we'll keep a close eye on that because flooding could be a huge concern for the indoe china peninsula. out towards the birg pick chu, we're seeing hazy conditions due to the air stagnation. the system has been dom napt across the continue net. and in tokyo, just around the average range, but we have some northerly cold air, so it could make us feel a lot colder than the actual temperatures. out here across western u.s., there's going to be the rounds of rainfall. very heavy coastal rainfall will be moving in to the pacific northwest with up to 150 by noefr night

now elsewhere in east asia we have high pressure controlling the korean peninsula.hat's creating some dry air advisories into south korea, and it will also start to dry out the northern portion of japan in an area that's been contending with some snowfall. now it will start to dry out we should see temperatures up to 11 degrees in tokyo under sunny skies coming up on wednesday, 5 in seoul with some rain coming in later on during the afternoon hours. the instability toward the south will bring some showers from shanghai to taipei and also into hong kong. let's take over the forecast for north america. western portions of the united states, we have this constant series of low pressure systems moving by the pacific northwest, bringing rain and some very windy conditions. and we are going to see the possibility of some snow as we go through tuesday. rainfall amounts up to 115 millimeters possible as we go throughout the next 24 hours. gusts up to 120 kilometers per hour. and again a rain/snow mix with some heavy -- heavy snowfall possible in these pink shaded areas. els

wrapping things up with a look at east asia, dry conditions over china and the korean peninsula. but this low pressure system northeast of japan consistently bringing in this northwesterly breeze. that's producing some of the snow on the western edge of hokkaido, and the northern portions of japan. so look out for the possibility of seeing some snow on christmas. tokyo staying dry, 11 for the high on thursday. 2 in seoul. 6 in beijing. wet weather down toward the south, closer toward the tropics. hope you have a good day wherever you are. here's your extended outlook. >>> that's "newsline" for this hour. i'm gene otani in tokyo. >> jordan confirms one of its pilots has been captured by an state. flying as part of the u.s.-led coalition and shot down in syria. the film at the heart of the scandal between the u.s. and north korea set to be screened. was pulled after hackers took on sony pictures. nato pushed ukraine to give up its neutral status in hopes of joining the alliance. and that that will complicate peace talks set for today. those are the headlines here on france 24. than

we just had a look at advanceing peace and security on the korean peninsula. this is an hour and a half. >> in the name of the bilateral c conference on northeast asia and the united states. we will talk on the topic of korea and major power. basically, my role is what is the talk about. to make the discussion more interactive i would like to introduce two points. first point is that this year we celebrated 10 year anniversary of the agreement that was signed in 1994 between the united states -- 20 -- and north korea. through the last 20 years, it has been crystal clear that north korea totally lost their creditabilitie creditability. they are still striving to get recognition as defacto nuclear power. the talk has been stalemated as everybody is aware of. unfortunately, time is not on our side. north korea's nuclear capability has had a drastic upgrade during the last 20 years. now it is high time the member state of the sixth parties talk to come up with new ideas to make a new brick road. at the same time, next year, as it was mentioned this morning, we cel

military was bringing korean peninsula and a couple of days later, it was accusing the south koreansession as well. north korea complains a lot, makes a lot of threats. rarely follows through with them. i think if we look at this hack and look at the objectives of the hack, the other thing to remember is early on, this movie "the interview" was never mentioned. the first messages talked about restructuring and things going on inside sony. it was only in the last week that the movie has kind of come to their attention or at least come into their messages that they've been sending out. >> sean and martin williams, thank you very much. >>> just ahead, a new report on white house security failures. the conclusions, as you will see, are chilling. you don't think much about it... you never dwell on how it was made... it's just a blanket after all... but when everything else has been lost, the comfort it provides is immeasurable. the america red cross brings hope and help to people in need every 8 minutes, every day. so this season give something that means something. support us at redcross

interested, of course, and returning -- in returning to the process of denuclearization of the korean peninsula. but that process can only take place if north korea reestablishes before the international community we need to really see some concrete indicators that they are serious about negotiations, serious about the process of de nuclearization. we will continue to press them on that matter. our ambassador is still the full-time envoy focused on that matter and serious about -- we are serious about trying to continue to make progress in that area. but pyongyang is going to have to take some steps to convey they are serious about moving forward. the other comment i would like to make about that is that i think that if we have a successful negotiation in the p5+1 context, and we're all hopeful that negotiation will produce good results in the next coming months, innocently hope we'll see some good results for the time of the review conference in april and may, that i hope it will have the effect on the north korea situation and that it will be a kind of signal that it is time to move forward w

as far as the reaction here on the korean peninsula in south korea, it's also being cheered that theyant to see it. as those who are defectors who want to use it as propaganda against north korea, but as far as north korea, the silence has been deafening. it's been the tip propaganda. films about kim jong-un and how great the regime is. not a single mention about the sony hack. not a single mention about the internet which was taken off the grid, christine, now two days in a row. >> no bluster from the north koreans on all of this. is it possible that authorities in the united states, looking at some of these responses from north korea over the past few days has determined that it is bluster, that there is no safety reason why this film can't be shown? >> well, remember, you have to take north korea with a grain of salt. they are the spoiled child of the east. they will scream, they will pout, they will throw their diapers. the question is how serious is the target meaning can north korea actually launch another cyberattack. because that's the new realm. they are sophisticated enough

they could be helpful to stabilize the situation in the korean peninsula. >> former new mexico governorood to have your insights on this. thank you very much. >> sticking with the fallout from the interview if there is a bright spot in the sony hack, the first good news for sony pictures in weeks is the successful if unconventional roll out of their movie, the interview. the comedy brought in 2 hadn't $8 million in theaters alone and 331 independent movie houses and the best online showing for any movie ever for sony. so far it has been downloaded two million times and brought in $15 million in online sales and rentals alone. as this unfolded, gaming experts were knocked out of service over the holidays by a group calling itself the lizard squad. they claimed to take down the network earlier in december as well. for more on all of this, the senior writer and tech expert joining us very much. my apologies. sam, will this roll out change the movie business, the fact that it was released online? could it change the dynamic and the relationship between theaters and production companies? >>

will be a kind of signal that it is time to move forward with some problem solving also on the korean peninsulawith regard to north korea's nuclear weapons. so we will see how that works, but i hope the will be some momentum that results, perhaps from a number of different directions in the coming months, but that is one i think is worth watching. on your second question, i'm -- yes, the 123 agreement. agreement for nuclear cooperation with the rok. i don't to comment on confidential diplomacy that is going on right now, but i will say we had made excellent progress, in my view, and the negotiations. i don't see any reason why we should not be able to completed in short order. i don't want to talk about any details of meetings and so forth. >> thank you. thank you." review. thank you for pressing ahead on the tough issues and challenges. a question about the upcoming review conference and the .anager in impacts dialogue we are pleased to see the united states for dissipating in that meeting. as you know, one of the motivations for that meeting and that gathering has been a disappointment about

experts talk about opportunities for advancing peace and security on the korean peninsula as well as economic prosperity. this discussion was part of a daylong conference cohosted by the brookings institution, peking university and the korea foundation for advanced studies but it runs 90 minutes. >> good morning, everybody. i am honored to preside over the second meeting, get-together in the name of trilateral conference on northeast asia and the united states. specifically, the topic of korea and major powers. basically, my roll is what's done to keep the time, you know, on time. but tonight our discussion move, i would like to make two points. first point is this year we celebrated 20 years anniversary of the agreement which was signed 20 years ago, in 1994 between united states and north korea. during the last 20 years it has been crystal clear that north korea totally lost abilities. and still is striking to get -- nuclear power. the six-party talk has been stalemated as everybody aware of it. unfortunately, time is not on our side. north korea's nuclear capability has demonstrat

it's a dance that we have and the six parties that are involved in the peninsula, the korean peninsula and japan and north and south korea have always given north core an incredible amount of deaf reer ens. this is a very powerful nation. yet extremely isolated and extremely interesting when you look at it. it's almost a theocracy. it's just an odd place. yet with some immense capabilities. so it's not unusual at all that chinese say, sure we'll help. we'll do that on our terms and we'll continue to have this relationship that we all agree to. it's a bit odd. >> north korea warned of serious consequences. frankly north korea warned of serious consequences many times. >> all the time. >> but if the u.s. continues, of course in, this investigation, they say that they're going to continue these cyber attacks. what is north korea capable of? >> well, we see right now, look, they were able to get into sony, victor. they were able to get what is called root access, administrative access. these are the folks that run your internet access and your end prize, your network, whoever you are in th

problems in the korean peninsula.l take a third or fourth level of importance within the administration. third, i think that the congressional opposition to the president will come not only from republicans, but also from democrats led by senator menendez and congresswoman debbie shulz. he's going to have a hard road in congress. and finally, the embargo is so complex that dismantling this is going to take time and it's going to be very difficult for example. property rights in cuba. the american properties were confiscated without payment in 1960 by the castro regime but also thousands of cuban american properties were confiscated. those people that lose their property will file lawsuits or already filed lawsuits in american court. so there is a group of lawyers here in miami waiting to garnish any benefits from trade between cuba and the united states and to garnish any funds. >> clearly, you've given extraordinary thought to all of this and make cogent and important points. i know, jaime, you said the cold war surv
