china has always insisted on realizing the demilitarization of the korean peninsula that peace and stability in the resolution to a dialogue and confrontation. china has always been opposed to the peninsula and must not be an option in this regard. the deployment of antimissile systems seriously undermined the interest of original countries, including china. as such, it's not conducive to the realization of the denuclearization of the peninsula and peace and instability concerned by this appointment immediately. denuclearization and peace and stability on the korean peninsula and interest of all parties. we hope they will work together, play their due roles and assure the responsibility with a view to returning the issue in the korean peninsula to the right track of the peaceful dialogue. i became a function as president of the council. i now get to fall to the representative of the republic of korea. >> thank you, mr. president. at the outset, i would like to think the chinese presidency for communing today's meeting. a delegation is grateful for the opportunity to participate in this meeti

alliance became not only a linchpin of peace and stability on the korean peninsula, but also contributed significantly to economic and democratic advancement of korea. this is what korean people know all too well. a foundation for growth and development of korea was laid by the united states. a treasured ally we're grateful to. likewise, korea as an important ally for the united states, played a role in the u.s. leadership in the asia-pacific and its prosperity. that alliance progressed and expanded. many people in our two countries came to interact, influencing expanded. each other in diverse fields ranging from religion, culture to academic disciplines. a soldier who guarded the strong hold in the battle of the reservoir and a crewman who sailed the victory are in one way or another connected to my life today. just as so, the relations between korea and the united states are connected not only between our two countries and governments, but between our people. ladies and gentlemen, there is a saying in korea, a deeply rooted tree never sways in the wind, and deep spring water never runs

when we see american bombers flying over the korean peninsula, how much of the korean peninsula, howessage is that sense to pyongyang but also to beijing saying if you will not do much about this, we might? well, that is certainly one perception that is received by the audience but i think the bigger and stronger message is one of deterrence, it is not so we're practising because they're going to make runs of bomb droppings, that is not what they are for, they are to show the strength and unity of the alliance which is very important to south korea's defence and also japan and all of us allies in the region. but when you see donald trump sending out tweets which has seen the frustrated with beijing, how strong is the alliance? no, i do not think the two have are related. it has taken six months for president tromso come to the understanding that china is not going to act on behalf of the united states. that is quicker than previous presidents who her last 16 years have relied on outsourcing the chinese role to solve the north korean problem. president trump i think his tweets are con

south korea's military says it landed in the waters east of the korean peninsula. ria and ukraine are expected to top the agenda when u.s. president donald trump meets with his russian counterpart vladimir putin later this week. but white house officials say mr. trump probably won't bring up russia's cyberattack on the u.s. election last year. >>> and new jersey governor chris christie says he won't apologize for his visit to a closed empty beach with his family over the july 4th holiday weekend. that beach and others were off limits to the public because of a state government shutdown. they'll reopen later on tuesday after legislators reached a budget deal. >>> in northern syria, there is a major new development in the battle against isis in the de facto capital of raqqah. the u.s. central command says u.s.-backed syrian forces have now breached a wall surrounding raqqah's old city. that's key because isis militants have been using the wall as a strategic fighting position. u.s. president donald trump is expected to talk about syria when he meets with the russian p

pressure on the regime in north korea and make clear that china will only accept a denuclearized korean peninsula and they are prepared to impinge on the north korean economy in ways that are much more serious than they've done in the past. >> i think as far as the tools that we have at hand for conducting this strategy. we do very broad authorities already existing. we're already undertaking a sweeping assessment of all of the violations of sanctions that we can detect that are going on in various countries around the world. including in china. >> we've been working with some of those countries to take action against entities that we find that are violating these sanctions. and we have very broad authorities to do, to do so. >> i don't think there is any lack of tools that's keeping us from prosecuting a very active sanctions campaign both within the ambit of the u.n. security council sanctions and within our own uni lateral designations and secondary sanctions against entities that we find to be vee lative. >> you have the authorities that you need to both chambers of the congress? >> i'm not a

us bombers dominated the sky as tensions mount over the korean peninsula. ed by fighter jets as part of a drill, it was seen as a direct response to north korean aggression. and the us president is blaming china for letting it get this far. taking to twitter, he said: but china also condemned friday's second intercontinental missile test. this powerful rocket flew faster and further than the one before. experts believe north korea's nuclear and missile capability is growing stronger by the day. and so, it seems, is kimjong—un‘s hunger to be heard. north korea's young leader. the north korean side is sending a message to the united states. the missiles are aiming at the united states you are and so we are going to talk to you, not to korea. a more joint military exercises, a sign that force is not being ruled out, but pressure is mounting for a diplomatic solution. a pre—emptive strike could destabilise the entire region, but how long is washington prepared to wait? here in seoul, south korea depends on the americans for security. but the presence of tens of

is on a war footing in the korean peninsula and general terrance o sean see said this was done to show the full compliment of weapons are available. this is just a ktypical shot across the bow of the north koreans. the u.s. does this all the time, particularly in the last couple months. in fact, there have been six such flyovers just since april and that just goes to show how tense things have really gotten here on the korean peninsula. this latest flyover was done in response to the july 4th testing by pyongyang of an icbm, an intercontinental ballistic missile. some experts say that with some modifications, this weapon could be used to attack u.s. soil. it could actually strike alaska. now, there were three countries that participated in this flyover, south korea, japan, and the u.s. for the u.s.'s part, they used b1b lancer bombers that flew over south korea and actually came very close, the border between north and south korea, that's a very hostile, very tense border because remember, these two countries are still technically in a state of war. they then dropped dummy bombs or ine

there are none so it is in this way that the two presidents have discussed syria ukraine the korean peninsula cyber security and a number of other issues they have agreed on a number of specific measures that it's a new day in the capital of jordan in amman. experts from u.s. and jordan have. and of their work and they. have issued a memorandum on the. the zone of this collation in syria it is on the analyser in this area they will be assist fire even though it's you starting on starting at noon. on the ninth of july each year us in this and russia have agreed. to maintain it should cease fire suitable for the good and the who did so this is filed with maintained by all parties when. they will also maintain. by showing that area and aid agencies and when you go to there will be monitoring sent that will be created in the capital of jordan because of course that's. the security around this deescalation zone will be maintained she was with the use of god you know the russian. literally in coordination with the u.s. and jordan with them and what is also important that if you're in this document

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 capabilities to defend ourselves and our allies. one of our capabilities lies with our considerable military forces we will use them if we must in the coming days we wi

us b—1 bombers dominated the sky as tensions mount over the korean peninsula.by fighterjets as part of a drill it was a direct response to what is being seen as an increasingly belligerent north korea. the us president is blaming china, pyongyang's biggest trading partner, for letting it get this far. taking to twitter president trump said: but china's influence could be overstated. historic ties have become looser and chinese imports of north korean coal have been cut after un sanctions last year. china also condemmed friday's second ballistic missile test. this powerful rocket flew faster and further than the one before and could soon be armed with a nuclear weapon. it's all about getting america to listen. the north korean side is definitely sending a message to the united states. the missile is aiming at the united states. they are saying we are going to talk to you. not to south korea. more joint military exercises a sign that force is not being ruled out, though pressure is mounting for a diplomatic solution. a pre—emptive strike could destabilise the ent

forces do all the time here in the korean peninsula, especially recently.ow just -- this is the sixth time one of those overflights have happened ever since april, and this just goes to show the frequency of these sorts of overflights goes to show how tense things have come here on the korean peninsula. this latest one was a reaction to the july 4th intercontinental ballistic missile test. pyongyang said it launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, and in fact u.s. officials agree. many experts say that this bomb, the one that they launched on tuesday, could have the capability of reaching u.s. soil in alaska. but as you mentioned, dara, there were three nations that participated in this exercise, the u.s., japan and south korea. now, the u.s. air force says these lancer b-1-b bombers took off from guam and came close to the demilitarized zone. we haven't heard a reaction from north korea but we are expecting to hear one very soon. >> that will do it for me. thanks for watching. hugh huewitt takes over at the top of the hour. afi sure had a lot on my

uclearized korean peninsula. it is time we accomplish that goal. i'm pleased to be here with pat toomey, someone i've had a chance to work with when i was in the house, and look forward to working with him on this and many other issues. he's been a great leader on national security issues as well as financial issues and banking. sen. toomey: thank you very much. i also want to say how pleased i am to be working with senator van hollen. i'm grateful for his leadership on this issue and other issues. i think this is very constructive legislation and it's essential that it be bipartisan so this can go the distance and become law. we call this the banking restrictions involving north korea act, or the brink act. it is because we are close to a brink here. intercontinental ballistic missiles. they can already reach parts of the united states. north korea has demonstrated the ability to detonate nuclear devices. it is plausible that they have the ability to put miniaturized nuclear weapons in an intercontinental ballistic missile. it is not a question of

two supersonic bombers were sent on a flight over the korean peninsula. the mission to deliver a big message to the north korean leader. this comes after the rogue regime test fired another ballistic missile on friday. analysts say it had an even longer range. which could possibly reach los angeles, chicago, or even new york. danielle nottingham has the the latest. >> reporter: the united states flew two super sonic b 1 bombers over the korean peninsula to day escorted japanese fighter jets. a direct response to north korea's most advanced missile test to date. overnight the u.s. demonstrated its ability to intercept ballistic missiles in a planned test of the thad missile defense program in alaska. the president of the global policy institute at loyola-marymount university. >> these small little steps. flyover. joint military activities. all of those are designed to let the adversary maybe the opponent know that we are ready, we are prepared, we have our eyes open north korea reacted on state run television saving the u.s., continues to resort to military

the korean peninsula, what chance of the escalating all of this? lling 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 aid flowing again. so at some point the americans are bound to ask themselves whether they should trade san francisco for seoul. should we expose american territory to north korea nukes for the sake of the south korean ally, who is really not on the same p

in theory -- korean peninsula. in theory it could reach alaska.for president trump to cut ties with north korea. he will join president xi for the g-20 summit this week. >>> new jersey's beaches and parks will be open for the july 4th holiday following three days of closure because of a crippling budget deadlock. the state legislature finally passed its budget on monday, having missed their july 1st deadline. state governor chris christie has signed off on it, ending a three-day government shutdown which saw between 30,000 and 35,000 state workers furloughed. and while the beaches were closed to the public over the weekend, christie and his family were pictured relaxing on the empty sands. there's been strong criticism from local media. christie says he doesn't care what people thought of those pictures. >> when i -- the way i took the question is, hey, were you laying out, getting a tan today? that wasn't what i was doing, and that's not what the pictures show. i'm sitting with a baseball hat, shorts, and a t-shirt talking to my wife and guests.

cnn is live on the korean peninsula and in washington.addition no that fly over, the missile defense test, what else are we hearing? >> reporter: the most visible aspect is the military show of force. the thad system test, bomber fly over. there are sanctions. the current sanctions that are being pushed forward and there's the root of diplomacy that means china. nikki haley releasing a statement saying there isn't a point in calling emergency security council session. she said quote an additional security council resolution that does not significantly increase the international pressure on north korea is of no value. in fact, it's worse than nothing because it sends is message that the international community is unwilling to seriously challenge him. china must decide whether it's finally willing to take this vital step. the time for talk is over. vice president mike pence, dianne feinstein said it's up to china. that's the only diplomatic vessel. . >> thanks. stand by. it's more concerning that in the past? >> reporter: we are seeing a ch

all these developments adding together make the situation currently in d p r k and all the korean peninsula almost unprecedented in recent decades you are talking about what d.p. arc is doing has rouse the indignation of china russia and the united states and many other countries in the region and beyond and i think the final time is coming for a final reckoning of how to deal with this situation here but what can you do the military options difficult because close by china are often kreutzer this but then you look at the trade the first part of this year with north korea it's gone up such saying hang on china is saying one thing well you are actually going to try and pull some strings it's a try and get north korea on side to stop this thing and donald trump is kind of played all these cards quite quickly talked about selling that a mother. what can we do what is the future going to bring now the next couple of weeks or so looks like north korea you could say is trying to provoke the international community its argument is we can send missiles up in the air and test them if you want to ame

security council resolutions on new klara zation of the korean peninsula so gay lover of war then he said through this could be used to force through regime change in north korea that's not the south korean and u.s. forces fired missiles into the sea of japan in retaliation for a north korean test missile launch artie's kate partridge joins me live now with more details kate what exactly did russia's top diplomat have to say. i then a tear oh well it's exactly as you said all of this press conference is to do with the escalation of the situation over the sea of japan so i pointed out as you said that the u.n. security council said there must be denuclearized nation of north korea but he was at pains to point out that this should not be a pretext for regime change in north korea by the west he also said that there shouldn't be a means of solving this particular conflict by use of force nor would it be acceptable if there are to be any strangulation or suffocation of north korea by economic means either all those other negatives are things that they didn't want to happen let's go toward

lasted two hours in fact they got through a lot and he said they talked about syria ukraine the korean peninsula and also cyber security to give you a quick summary said about syria they do expect to announce deescalation zones in a cease fire from july the ninth and that will involve cooperation between russia and america he talked about ukraine and the sense that. both sides the u.s. and russia will continue to talk about that and believe the greens the way forward there and they also mentioned cybersecurity summing up he said the atmosphere was constructive and post both presidents were driven by. their national interest although both countries do need to find a balance between their interests to find a way forward so in summary that's what we're set for of talking on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit. well we can talk about this the third because he joined now by the co-founder of the international leaders summit joe and sami with this now. thanks very much for staying on the line i know we were back to gauge before sergey lavrov just started to speak then not sure what you heard of what

strike on north korea could unleash a massive war on the korean peninsula killing hundreds of thousands if not millions of people particularly in seoul in seoul south korea as well as american g.i.'s more than twenty five thousand of them scattered around south korea and into another twenty some thousand in japan as well so what the united states is really doing is very dangerous the u.s. could deescalate this whole thing tomorrow if it stop this war games along the north korean border and also began to pull out its bases from the south korean peninsula that's the way to create peace in the region birth county and a coordinated the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space thank you for your time and sharing your expertise on this nothing. but with two days to go before the g twenty summit begins and how it seems that world leaders aren't going to get the warmest of welcomes the host city has been and go to in protest. i think. police dispensing they found but i think that is why it did pepper spray and move to canada who are also used against the county thompson list ac

it should remove itself from the korean peninsula.and china would jointly offer south korea some kind of security guarantees if the south koreans were to distance themselves from the us. so you can imagine putin and xi sitting down in moscow with their advisers, finding a line to serve their interests and the way to do that is to focus on the us, to say in fact that north korea is not the problem, the united states is the problem. there is a growing demand to cut or curtail tobacco production in india backed by the world health organization. taxes on tobacco are increased every year and there are major warnings notjust on tobacco packets but also on television. india is the world's second largest tobacco growing country. but as sanjoy majumder reports, the move is being opposed by those who grow tobacco. it is a crop that once made their fortunes but india's tobacco farmers are now staring at potential ruin. as buyers inspect their stock at a local auction, there is a distinct air of tension. india is one of the world's biggest tobacc

good evening friends we start tonight with tensions on the edge on the korean peninsula on tuesday north korea successfully tested another intercontinental ballistic missile it landed in japanese quarter waters after reaching an altitude of almost two thousand miles in response the united states and south korea conducted full military exercises of their own the u.n. security council held an emergency session this afternoon at the request of japan and south korea r.t.c. mon del rosario as further details from the white house tensions between north korea and the united states have reached a tipping point as north korea tests an intercontinental ballistic missile that theoretically has the potential to reach the united states before president onil trump took office in january he tweeted that this event would not happen now that it has tweeted this about north korean leader kim jong il saying does this guy have anything better to do with his life hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. the u.s. army and south korea's military carried out a joint military

military generals have warned that even the slightest miscalculation on the korean peninsula can trigger a conflict that basically meyer's the entire region in a protracted war that could have catastrophic consequences not only for the region but also for the global economy and that is not in anyone's interest while u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson said that north korea launching an intercontinental ballistic missile is a new escalation of the threat against the united states now from your point of view as pyongyang's a new launch a game changer here. yes but not because it will attack the united states. the united states washington doesn't truly believe that but more because this changes u.s. strategic calculus in the region north korea now has the capacity to target the heart of the u.s. pacific command which is located in hawaii as well as the west coast of the u.s. continent this means that u.s. policy of basically intimidating countries through military might and collapsing and cooperate of regimes as it has done in the middle east for decades this is not going to work these ar

the pressure on the regime in north korea and make clear that they will only accept the north korean peninsula and are prepared to impinge on the north korean economy. the tools we have at hand for conducting the strategy had a b-bravo for the already existi existing. it's sweeping the sanctions we can detect. they are violating the sanctions and have very broad authority to do so. it's keeping us from prosecuting a very active sanctions campaign both in the security council resolution and also in our own unilateral kind of designation secondary sanctions to be violated. >> do you have what you need for both chambers in the commerce? >> not specifically but we believe that is our position, yes. >> have you had a chance to review the other pieces in the house or regarding the sanctions i've introduced with others in the committee legislation regarding north korea and the sanctions particularly relating to access and financial networks and systems. could you comment on those pieces of legislation? >> sure. there's quite a number of pieces of legislation and we appreciate the interest of congress

and that just goes to show now tense things have really gotten here on the korean peninsula. this latest flyover was done in response to the july fourth testing by pyongyang of an icbm, a intercontinental ballistic missile. and the north koreans say it was an icbm, and u.s. officials then agreed, and some experts say that with some modifications, this weapon could be used to attack u.s. soil. it could actually strike alaska. now, there were three countries that participated in this flyover, south korea, japan, and the u.s. for the u.s.'s part, they used b1b lancer bombers that took off from guam, flew over south korea and actually came very close to the border between north and south korea. that's a very hostile, very tense border because remember, these two countries are still technically in a state of war. they then dropped dumb miyazamyt a target at a south korean military base. if history is any judge, the north koreans will likely see this as a provocation and they'll probably respond with a provocation of their own. jacob. >> my thanks to matt bradley in seoul, south kor

over the korean peninsula they train special operations teams that are ready to take out the north korean leadership so one chain has to decide is he going to strengthen the u.s. are ok alliance or move towards reconciliation peacefully with north korea i don't think you can have both things at once which is what he's talking about so i don't think that you know as long as that policy stands i don't think he will get very far off and dangerous time he only thank you so much for being with us tonight thank you coming up republicans say they want to give americans choice when it comes to health care so why don't they support single payer. krishna tonight's rumble right after the break. i think the average viewer just after watching a couple segments understands that we're telling stories there are critics can't tell you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when

which offers a true window of opportunity for resolving the issue in the korean peninsula.we reaffirm our strong commitment to the international regime of the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons and intention to see the denuclearization of the d.p. r. k. as well as comprehensive and full implementation of relevant resolutions of the security council we express our intention with other interested. states to continue efforts to ensure that through dialogue and consultations with. lucia there are. coming up on r.j. america the united states and south korea with bonded to north korea's latest test with a combined military test and a method of their own we've got reaction from around the globe over the rising tension in the korean peninsula. protests are up days before the g. twenty summit in hong burg in germany where u.s. president donald trump and russian president vladimir putin are set to meet on friday and that russian forces report a successful bombing of the self-proclaimed islamic state and syria and iraq this morning all that coming up.

a denuclearize to korean peninsula. a eight d nuclear rise to -- denuclearized korean peninsula. we will try to persuade them as to the urgency that we see. with respect to china, our experience has been -- and i have said this to others -- it has been uneven. china has taken significant action. and then, i think for a lot of different reasons, they have paused and did not take additional action. in our view, there are a lot of explanations as to why those we remainurred, but very closely engaged with china in our dialogues, face-to-face, but also on the telephone. we speak frequently with them about the situation in north korea. there is a clear understanding between the two of us regarding our intent. the sanctions action that was taken here in the last week to 10 days, certainly got their attention in terms of their understanding our resolve to bring more pressure to bear on north korea by directly going after the entities doing business with north korea, our work -- irregardless of where it ate our -- of where they are doing action. our engagement is unchanged with china and

over the korean peninsula they train special operations teams that are ready to take out the north korean leadership so one chain has to decide is he going to strengthen the us are ok alliance or move towards reconciliation peacefully with north korea i don't think you can have both things at once which is what he's talking about so i don't think that you know as long as that policy stands i don't think he will get very far from dangerous time he only thank you so much for being with us. thank you coming up republicans say they want to give americans choice when it comes to health care so why don't they support single payer. krishna tonight's rumble right after the break . why would you put those feet up there she's your wife. now. we live. tonight. not. by the. local race just lawyer. or doctor it's not for me it's like medicine it's like the antidote for the stress. that the news put it under redacted tonight is a show where you can go to cry from laughing about the stuff that's going on in the world as opposed to just regular crying we're going to find out what the corporate mainstream

they want to keep a divided korean peninsula because they are not doing anything to show they are going to make progress on deknew deknew delahrization. having china use its vast influence. to calm things down on the peninsula through trade. >> president trump met with all these leaders. we have beef going over to china for the first time. at the same time he met with the leaders of south korea, mr. moon and mr. abe of japan. and so everybody is serious about focusing on the fact that north korea launched a missile that seems to have different capabilities. as secretary of defense james mattis said, we are exploring different channels. and everybody should take a look at that. >> i appreciate everything you have done. it's a very substantial problem we all face in north korea. i'm sure that whether it's on north korea or many of the things we are discussing, we'll come to a successful meeting. >> let's see the media cover these issues. they cover russia 50 times more than healthcare or infrastructure. limits see how seriously they take the threat. jesse: it's a threat that should unite

i have a statement from -- there's the whole question of the korean peninsula, the building of peacetant to push forward our joint initiatives on setting the korean problem with a view of immediately freezing the ballistic missile strikes and also dealing with the u.s. deployment of weapons in south korea to betsy's point. so julian, what is he really saying here? >> well, look, the united states can't weaken it's commitment to south korea. that won't help. eit's the same as our efforts to engage china. this is a place where there could be considerable tension with russia. look, there's something very important that president trump has to do, actually, and it is to affirm his commitment to nato, something he has not done, that's a big factor in creating an alliance that will strengthen our ability -- >> do you see that potentially happening on this trip? >> i don't know if he will do it, but i think it's actually quite urgent, it's something that putin needs to hear, for all the bluster, this is something that he has not said, and i think it will be very helpful from the administrati

goal that we will denuclearize the korean peninsula. frankly at this point i just don't think that's a feasible goal. more broadly, i think he would indeed like to develop the korean peninsula. the economy has been growing to some degree, partly through private markets. i think they're very aware that they have been able to stay in power partly because it has been isolated. but i think that they nervously would like to modestly open up, and certainly expand the country to become a more important power. but they're not going to give up the nukes, i'm afraid. >> john, with the president's opportunities with china and russia, we always think of the united states as being the driver in those kinds of scenes. but what about china? what about russia taking the wheel here and saying, look, this is what we need to do with north korea? >> well, they have put proposals on the table, and of course we have to look at them with some skepticism because they're not -- their interests are not precisely as ours. although frankly i think this is a case w

. >> we do have a very high level of preparation on the korean peninsula.efense has options available to the president. this washington -- i see what people are writing about now. there's option a and option b. then they look at diplomacy, war, conclude rightly that war is -- on the korean peninsula is not something to trifle with. it's a serious, serious matter there. and then decide there are no good options. in the real world of diplomacy and strategic affairs, these are not alternatives that the president of the united states choose. they're an unfolding pattern of coercive diplomacy. so you do have to begin with diplomacy and with a process that makes the choice not for the american president to choose between starting something on the korean peninsula and giving in to north korea, but make it north korea's choice whether this is going to lead to a coercive outcome for them and china as well. and if you take those paths, if it does come to some kind of altercation in the future, we would be better prepared because we would have had that time to ready o

ost: what is incentive for china to see tension between united states and the korean peninsula? guest: china doesn't like what north korea is doing, they don't the north korean program, but unwilling to do pressure on north korea, they fear explosion the sense of north korea lashing out or implosion in the or e of regime instability regime collapse. host: bruce klinger taking calls. independent, michael, go ahead. you.r: thank sir, a famous quote goes like this. it is a tribute to the american leaders are he reported and perceive it lie to wage war tis not tribute to public to be so was mr. oled and that daniel elsburg, pentagon papers. sir, when haley spoke up and outrageous statement to the world that we have the whatever bility to do we want, legal or not, the north korean situation, you have no options. the only option you have is to war illegally because they have the right to defend their country with military arms they can develop just like we did. to show the lies here, if your narrative is that to united states with nuclear attack is why you will go to war, why aren't yo

>> well, you know, what china really fears is chaos on the korean peninsula, number one. and number two, an increased u.s. military presence on the peninsula. you know, we moved some anti missile raiders into south korea some time ago and the chinese just hate that. so rather than berating them on twitter, making it very clear to the chinese that we are going to simply up our military presence in the area if they don't take a harder line with the north koreans. and, by the way, i think, you know, if i'm right, and i think i am, that the chinese really fear the concept of chaos in the north korean peninsula. remember, that's their front yard. some sort of assurances to the chinese that, you know, this crazy, her mettic, very odd state that we're not going to deliberately try to destabilize it, that our interests like the chinese interests, are in eventual reunification in something that looks like germany and giving the chinese some assurances we're not particularly interested in total chaos on the korean peninsula either. i think those things in combination might push the

bombers soaring over the korean peninsula following the missile test. >>> today president trump also meeting with china's president jinping and how china plans to handle the north korean situation. amilies a second chan. amilies a second chan. but to help others, they first had to protect themselves. i have afib. even for a nurse, it's complicated... and it puts me at higher risk of stroke. that would be devastating. i had to learn all i could to help protect myself. once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. xarelto®... to help keep me protected. once-daily xarelto®, a latest-generation blood thinner... ...significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. xarelto® works differently. warfarin interferes with at least 6 blood-clotting factors. xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your body's natural blood-clotting function. for afib patients well-managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk o
