let's go now to margaret brennan at the white house. rgaret whrark do you think president's strategy is behind this? >> well, anthony, it's not clear the president planned to ignite this controversy, but since his initial comments on friday, he has insisted this is not about race, and his top advisers say that this isn't a distraction from the president's own agenda. but the white house had planned to focus this week on launching their tax reform proposal. now, since saturday, the president has tweeted just once about taxes, seven times about healthcare, and at least 20 times about sports. this anthem issue is a divisive one inch a quinnipiac poll take an year ago, it shows while the majority of americans disapprove of the anthem protests, 63% of white adults disapprove while 74% of black adults do approve. solution for undocumented children through careers employment education and defending our nation so -- the president's core supporters say they love he says what they've been thinking, but to many critics, he's choosing to divide the

margaret brennan has more about that. margaret. >> reporter: well, until the president makes a decision, countries won't be notified as to exactly how these new travel restrictions will impact people. but what we do know is that the new rules go into effect after the existing six-country travel ban expires this sunday. now, potentially affected countries were notified in advance so they could update their security standards, and only around eight or so countries either refused or were unable to comply. so now the president has to decide who remains on the list and whether there are any exceptions-- people already in transit or with valid visas won't be blocked from entering the u.s., but those applying for new visas will be impacted. the trump administration really wants to avoid the type of chaotic roll-out that resulted from its first travel ban which totally blocked people from a number of muslim-majority countries. and, anthony, this time the a.c.l.u. say they fear this is just a third attempt at a muslim ban, and they

john dickerson is off today i'm margaret brennan. there is breaking news this morning as north korea says they successfully tested a hydrogen bomb capable of being mounted on missile that could reach the u.s. mainland. if so, dramatic escalation in north korean president efforts to build his country's nuclear capability. president trump has tweeted the first official u.s. response saying, there word and actions continue to be very hostile an dangerous to the united states. north korea a rogue nation that has become a great threat and embarrassment to china which is trying to help but with little success. we begin our coverage with cbs news correspondent ben try see reporting from tokyo. >> north the hydrogen bomb on state television. a strong 6.3 magnitude earthquake was detected at 12:30 sunday afternoon in northeast north korea near the main nuclear test site. the underground test appears to be about ten times more powerful than the last one, north korea carried out one year ago. it came just hours after the country released these
