you see nikki haley in the gray suit. this is very significant. sitting president he will address the united nations. his remarks today along with nikki haley's remarks and the secretary general's remarks on a panel concerning reforming the united nations. the title of it, reforming the u.n., management security and development meeting. that's today. that is significant in its own right because this all comes from the america first president who has been very critical of the united nations, calling it unproductive, et cetera. you see the president there shaking hands, greeting the u.s. ambassador to the united nations, nikki haley, who has very much taken a front seat in all things diplomacy, some say trumping rex tillerson. this begins at 9:50 eastern. we don't know what we will hear from the president. we have not received a plan for remarks from the white house on this one. again, this is the america first president who has questioned the utility of the united nations, who has said the united states gives far too much to the united nations. so

ambassador nikki haley. national security adviser, saying there'll be three themes, promoting peace, promoting prosperity, and upholding sovereignty and accountability. they talked about reform efforts at the united nations, something they said is a mandate of the u.n. security general, and there's going to be an event on monday about that, at which the president is expected to speak. on north korea, nikki haley, defending the sanctions levied by the security council earlier this week, saying that north korea is going to see the effect of those sanctions soon, outlining in some detail what it would feel like in the u.s. if similar sanctions were levied here on gas and natural gas. erg,re back to nancy soderg former national security adviser to president clinton. thanks for listening in. what do you make about the theme of reform. it seems like a huge theme for this administration on funding, allocation of resources, what peacekeeping missions look like. what did you make of what nikki say? has did say -- had

nikki haley is there.gence says the north may be preparing more missile tests in the coming days or hours. what are president trump's options. joining me now is a key export. the director of programs for the action institute and a former policy advisor to president george hw bush. paul, so important and so glad to have you today. i wonder as someone from the bush 41 administration who may have been skeptical or may still be skeptical of president trump and his foreign policy credentials, how has he done so far? >> well, ed, you made me too old. it was bush 43 administration. the president has done a great job so far because the point is nothing is going to change the north korean's regime trajectory except china telling him they will remove that regime or the united states have to deal with it militarily. i respect nikki haley very much. she will do a wonderful job there today as she does every day playing the role of bold defender of the united states and scourge of all lunacy. what will really change thi

nikki haley did. thank you so much. >> it was impressive. >> nancy soderberg, peter yoe, thank you so much. >> thanks so much. >> thanks. >>> new information this hour about the four american women targeted in an acid attack in france. a live report on their conditions and why investigators say this was not an act of terror. >>> plus, as the president takes twitter shots at kim jong-un, the rising tension with north korea will be a major topic, as was just discussed, at this week's united nations general assembly. what the next steps could be beyond sanctions. ♪ hey grandpa. hey, kid. really good to see you. you too. you tell grandma you were going fishing again? maybe. (vo) the best things in life keep going. that's why i got a subaru, too. introducing the all-new crosstrek. love is out there. find it in a subaru crosstrek. you don't let anything lkeep you sidelined. come on! that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... for the strength and energy, to get back

nikki haley was tough. enough is enough.t it earlier, it was a very thinly veiled threat to china, aimed at that country. from what you're seeing is this administration taking the right strategy moving forward? >> absolutely not. it's very frustrating. i admired at least the consistency and seriousness of nikki haley's talk. what's missing here are the other pieces that would have made this easy for china. i've been to beijing many times. china is deeply, deeply frustrated with north korea. not in the same way we are. they have differences with the united states. they are angry, they are upset. they as an incumbent global nuclear power doesn't want to see north korea go down this track. so why is it so hard to seduce them with us. they worked with us on the iran deal. they are not working with us as much as donald trump wants because he kicks kicking them in the shins as we're going. that's what's missing. this shouldn't be something where steve mnuchin is threatening to cut off $5 billion of imports from china over this. th

nikki haley to his right.his will be an action-packed week, shannon, in a way we haven't quite seen before. president trump likes to surprise. what will his speech be about tomorrow? how will he challenge these world leaders? what will he say about north korea? how will he phrase his whole america first theme in front of these leaders? will he be conciliatory or take a tone when we saw in nato six months ago when he was in brussels challenging world leaders to do a better job at contributing more to the military in each government that's been agreed to in the past. but a measure that has not been met by the majority of european countries. >> shannon: we remember the discomfort on the faces of some of those nato members as they stood with the president thinking it would be about dedicating the 9/11 memorial and the article 5 memorial there. instead some of them got a bit of a lecture for not stepping up what they committed and agreed to. a beautiful new facility in brussels and the president sort of taking a pa

ambassador nikki haley.ed to speak to the press any moment on sanctions on north korea. as we await her remarks, let's analysis of the president's remarks of the executive order today. we are joined by craig gordon and kevin cirilli. they join us from our washington dc bureau. kevin, talk a little bit about the context in which the president made the remarks about north korea and the follow-up from steve mnuchin. kevin: the president saying that essentially this is one step further in the tracker north korea to get rid of its nuclear ambitions. i would just note that i think u.n. ambassador rice nikki haley has played such a crucial role and it is receiving top billing not just from the international community but also from the u.s. administration. the president has departed new york city on route to that mr. but there is no question that nikki haley is really playing a key role here. she has been able to get not just china but russia at the table for a series of rows of sanctions. in the past couple of hour

. >> we heard the same thing from nikki haley at the un. president trump feeted the united states is considering in addition to other options stopping all trade with any country doing business with north korea. our man on the north lawn, kevin cork, live at the white house. kevin, have you seen anybody head in today, secretary of state tillerson, mattis, mcmaster, the national security advisor? >> you've been over here plenty of times, you know how it works. keeping our eye on the west exec and the walkway. so far not yet. this is a circumstance, leland, where theed a mshgs is speaking with one voice. time for talk is apparently over. and i say apparently, because as you heard from nikki haley, it is clear that the united states is pushing, not only the united nations but in particular china. as you point out with that tweet, if you won't act we're not afraid to act unilaterally. that could have catastrophic consequences. the president tweeting today, south korea, finding as i told them talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. th

here's what nikki haley said yesterday at a special u.n. security council meeting. >> only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. we have kicked the can down the road long enough. there is no more road left. >> perhaps oil sanctions cutting it off from china to the north would have some impact. is there any sense in the military community that any further sanctions will have any impact on the north's development of nuclear weapons? >> it really depends on how effective those sanctions are, and especially how well they're targeted. so if you're looking at oil, for example, that could absolutely be something that is cut off. the problem is that it's a very porous border between north korea and china. there's a lot of smuggling that goes often the minute sanctions are put -- goes on there. the minute sanctions are put in place against china and north korea, the very next day smugglers would be involved in operation that's get vital goods like oil, other raw materials, to the north. they would continue

nikki haley is right.e can down the road for two and half or three decades and that is correct. never under estimate the united nation's ability to find more road with futil discussions. not that we don't want to keep talking. we need to continue the diplomacy and negotiations. and our options militarily are so unpleasant to think about, we may have gotten to the point, where we could have productive negotiations. because the chinese now seem to be adjusting their mind set and the russians backed off earlier comments before the sixth test. that sanctions were unhelpful. and they are starting to chastise north korea. we may have gotten to the point where we could get something done. >> leland: we see the north korea raising the pitch and more provocative and then all of the sudden, and say i am ready to talk. and everybody goes thank you. they have gone down that road before. we'll talk about the chinese. chinese trade with the united states, $650 billion. chinese trade with north korea 2.5. and important t

nikki haley arguing at a u.n. security council meeting that the international community must exhaust every last bit of leverage over pyongyang to avoid a nuclear war. >> the time has come to exhaust all of our diplomatic means before it's too late. we must now adopt the strongest possible measures. kim jong un's action cannot be seen as defensive. his abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. >> among north korea's few remaining pain points that could be targeted oil imports, textile exports and the regime's other sources of foreign currency. pyongyang slamming the u.s. bragging it will use strategic weapons to eradicate the land of the u.s. with no trace left on earth. >> all of this as south korea says it has spotted continuous signs the north is preparing yet another icbm test. ian lee joins us live from south korea where that country is conducting exercises off the east coast of the korean peninsula. ian, good morning to you. >> good morning, dave. some disturbing news co

down on north korea through additional sanctions what are we expecting from nikki haley today. well she is doing a briefing to the white house press and i think the idea is for her to wrap up the we can say what was achieved by the us here in new york this week because with the president leaving and he has just left just watched him as far as the u.s. is concerned this is finished it isn't of course finished as far as the news is concerned and one of the big things to watch is what happens here on friday because each country gets their turn and they're still speaking while this meeting is going on in the security council there are two speeches in the general assembly hall it comes round on friday to the north korean representative which will be the north korean foreign minister how is he going to respond to president trump's fahri words that's something to watch very very closely when that comes up here at the u.n. on friday for now discussion of the nuclear issues of iran and of north korea taking place. in the security council chamber. and perhaps james a. yes. go ahead. no t

if you hear nikki haley, that's not going to happen any time soon. great to see you, will. >>> here with me to discuss, georgetown professor of asian politics and also senior adviser to former u.s. ambassador to north korea, christopher hill. we have the former spokesman to the pentagon. jim walsh is an m.t.i. researcher and the former staff member of the national security council under president clinton. great to you have here. jamie, we played a couple bits of what we heard from nikki haley, u.s. oms. we kicked can the down the road enough. there is no more road left. nikki haley wants stronger sanctions. the next step in sanctions would be what? >> well, there will be more sanctions. there will be stronger secondary sanctions. those sanctions will effect chinese companies and other companies that have been doing business with north korea. >> do you get the indication that china is ready to sign on to those sanctions? >> they'll sign on to stronger sanctions. they're not going to sign on to sanctions or an embargo that is so strong that it threaten

ambassador to the united nations nikki haley trying to align the un's vision with the trump vision and i don't think they're now talking about the very very deep cuts to the u.n. budget they were at the beginning of the year but with president trump you've got to wait for his words and we'll be hearing those in about half an hour or so and we'll come back to it and we do thanks so much james plays there now protesters in the bangladeshi capital of come out in support of the rangar refugees. thousands of activists stays the demonstration demanding rights for the minority group more than four hundred thousand rangar have fled the recent violence and in mars western rakhine state aid workers say the ring of crisis in the bangladesh mean maher border is now one of the biggest humanitarian crises in the world. from sharp in southeast bangladesh. a month after renewed violence began in myanmar's rakhine state of rohingya are making the journey to the border with bangladesh every day they're escaping ethnic cleansing by the myanmar military. i think. we were six people in our family now there

you heard it from nikki haley, you heart it from mnuchin, you heard it from nikki haley and you heard it from trump. that trade is on the table with countries that deal with knot kore north korea. and if china doesn't work to put more pressure on north korea, from all the experts that i have talked to, that is highly unrealistic, it would basically crater the global economy, but it is certainly the threat that you are hearing from this administration right now. in addition to maybe pulling out of this free trade agreement with south korea, and there's some skepticism in some circles that would actually irritate south korea and put them into this posture where they would be concerned about working with the u.s. there's a lot of ramifications to that. but it is clear that economic measures are sort of currently within of the big focuses of this administration. >> yeah, that would be sort of difficult messaging there, considering what we're just hearing from south korea, considering that trump has reaffirmed sort of the friendship -- >> we don't know the white house's version of the call

and south korea freezing nuclear ang exercises, nikki haley called it insulting. she said "if you have a rogue regime that has a nuclear weapon and an icbm points that you, the last thing you want to do is take down your guard." that is something everybody would agree with. >> mike: kevin corke at a busy white house. thank you. south korea staged its own show of force today aimed at determining what it says is another eminent missile launched from the north. the u.s. meanwhile is threatening a massive military response. national security correspondent jennifer griffin is here. >> good evening. south korean officials say they see signs north korea is preparing for another intercontinental ballistic missile launch which could reach the united states and guam. they restated what u.s. intelligence said for the first time recently. they believe north korea has miniaturized a nuclear device that can be fitted to a ballistic missile. the president spoke to his defense secretary jim mattis and the cia director mike pompeo today as he waves his military options. hours afte

we're waiting to hear from nikki haley.t take on the administration's double barrel approach with north korea and added sanctions. the other one working with china to obliterate any banking relationship that country has with north korea. the central bank of china indicated telling all financial institutions in china when it comes to pyongyang, it stops and stops now. president trump is approving a disaster declaration for puerto rico. he says the island has been obliterated. the island needs it. steve harrigan with more. hi, steve. >> neil, they need help in many different areas and they need immediate help, this is the flooding around some apartment complexes outside san juan. none of these people have electricity. nobody on the island has electricity. some sitting up in their apartments with wind damage and water damage. as far as the situation here is on the ground, help is on the way. there's coast guard ships bringing in water. the airport isn't open yet. should be open for aid tomorrow. the biggest problem here across

any sort of broke on that in pools of oil saying that that to holr program but but nikki haley the u. s. ambassador cool that proposal yet again insult saying. that the russians had destination they said that the only way forward. is through dialogue a political and diplomatic solution but we don't seem to be making much headway on the facts that you said earlier that nikki haley said that essentially north korea is begging for war. needless to say eight rounds of sanctions is amazing isn't it was anything left. any sector of the economy left to impose sanctions on. and of course jessica north korea's been saying for quite some time now that you s. territory. is well within striking distance of its latest weaponry. allison all skewed or you live in united states how is this affecting but the national mood our people to give the person people nervous. some people a nervous but certainly today it's labor day and most people are either at the beach or having a barbecue. but there is some level of angst about this but but i've spoken to people who had lived through the cuban missile crisi

nikki haley, the u.s.mbassador to the, she was saying north korea is begging for war and they will be putting together a draft sanctions voted on by september 11. to bring up the tweet she sent out afterwards, she said -- 24 years of failed talks is enough. that is a tweet she sent out just hours ago. what further action might we expect that will be voted on, on september 11? can don't think the u.s. practically expect much to come out of the security council. i don't think they will get very far if they try to coax china, which is north korea's biggest business partner, into voting for sanctions against chinese companies. that is just not going to happen. the u.s. would have to do that unilaterally. i would not expect much more from the security council than stronger condemnations of north korea's behavior. maybe some tightening sanctions at the margins but limited just to north korea, not to other countries. saying we aree expecting the deployment of the thaad missile defense systems with military reinfo

secretary nikki haley. this is an important moment for her on this kind of stage as well. >> the president has said that he wants her to speak her mind. andre, to you, we've heard administration officials as i alluded to earlier say this is going to be business as usual. business as usual fire and fury unlike the world has ever seen before, rocket man now with the recent tweet, what is going to be business as usual in your eyes when president trump takes the stage on tuesday? what is he going to say? >> i want him to be firm, i want him to conduct business like he's been doing. i don't expect him to act like prim and proper politicians have done in the past and only glad handed and really done -- haven't done much more to address the problem. i want him to do one of two things, i want the message to be clear, either we'll take a military option or we'll check them out financially. if our friends around the world don't want to help us, we might have to go with the other option. this is getting to a level whe

what they will do about it, nikki haley is a rising star at the u.n. and has lots of people in her corner. she can change

national security adviser, nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the united nations will be there as well, alongside sarah huckabee sanders. this briefing, of course, comes after two significant events. a new north korean missile launch as well as another attack on the london underground. we've got those stories kofrdz from across the globe on this day. we have our white house reporter, nbc news chief white house correspondent, hallie jackson. tell us what we expect to hear on this day from nikki haley and h.r. mcmaster. >> reporter: plenty for them to talk about. they're set to take the podium in about 15 minutes as you reported earlier. let me run through what i think is the big headlines. number one, north korea and the recent missile test, the one overnight from pyongyang. what the administration is going to do now. i can almost guarantee there will be a question on whether or not this administration will put tougher sanctions on chinese banks. as always, the administration very rarely talks about that until those go into effect.

i was at the white house, when his top advisors, including nikki haley, gave him abriefing. he has not been a fan, saying they have not lived up to their billing and costing u.s. too much on resources and relying on too much the u.s. to lead the way. but they expect the administration to show a leadership role ranging from things range being from north korea's nuclear threat and human rights which president trump has not talked about a lot. but what i think is interesting is if you look back to last year, president obama in his farewell address the u.s. had a place to make a choice, marking the postworld war ii area or tribalism and building walls. we had president trump who campaigned on building a wall, the question is still whether he'll get that done or the dark world in the way he has talked about it in the past or will he reach out and talk about the merits of this world body. nikki haley has seen the speech, he session the president -- she says he stlaps slaps the right people and hugs the right people. >> despite tougher u.n. sanctions how do you think the ra north k

how committed is china to actually implementing sanctions ok well let's actually listen to what nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has said to the security council once the vote came in and it was announced that basically had been passed unanimously that's listening. previous efforts to bring north korea to the negotiating table have failed they have repeatedly walked back every commitment they have made today the security council has acted in a different way today we are attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime we are done trying to prod the regime to do the right thing we are now acting to stop it from having the ability to continue doing the wrong thing. let's go back to him who has been with us here in the studio from the royal united services institute here in london so we just heard nikki haley there are very strong words but ultimately you've been looking at the resolution a minute it's quite a lot of pages and we only just got it but from what you see do you think that this will actually achieve what nikki haley

>> this is a stark turn for nikki haley. i'm told that the president loves the way that she has become prominent at the u.n. has been drown by her into taking a much greater role in the u.n. than i think most people thought. today's speech in which he embraced u.n. reform, embraced the secretary-general, said he wanted to be a partner, you couldn't have imagined donald trump saying in the campaign. i think nikki haley's one reason for that. she's backed up at the white house by deanna powell, one of the president's most experienced advisers. so, i think the rivalry between nikki haley and rex tillerson, secretary of state, for the moment is overdone. i think it's unlikely that nikki haley will be changing jobs any time soon but she is setting herself up for more and more significant role in this administration. >> david, talk to me a little bit about the president's tweet overnight this morning or, excuse me, over the weekend talking -- calling kim jong-un the rocket man. he said he spoke to the president but this is very mu

nikki haley is also saying that it down. nikki haley is also saying thatitis down.at it is a diplomacy failing. she has said there has been talks were 20 years and look where we are now. north korea has welshed on some of the deals. some people would say that it has been provoked by some of these drills that have been carried out by north south korea and the us. others would say that is self defence. in secret, they have gone far further defence. in secret, they have gone farfurther in defence. in secret, they have gone far further in modernising defence. in secret, they have gone farfurther in modernising their whole programme than people had imagined. some of these tests were underground. the latest one was at a height of about 6000 feet. about 2000 metres, but underground. it was held in a mountain but below ground. they were able to seal off lot of the. normally, the us would send a sniffer plane along the borders but very few of the gases are escaping so it is difficult to analyse whether it was a hydrogen bomb, far more powerful than an atom bomb because it us

nikki haley saying look we want you to work smarter not. to quote we're taking names it's not actually something that maybe the u.n. should be told if only just to shake them up a little bit and say look you are accountable you have a duty of care and you're not doing it properly. i'm completely in support of what the master nikki haley's points out about you know sharpening the u.n. making it more efficient the problem is that nobody really trusts the current u.s. government that you know when nikki haley speaks we're not sure who she is even speaking for but the underlying issue for them seems to be reducing the costs which is fine we need to get the u.n. to become more efficient but cutting back on crucial peacekeeping operations is not going to be the answer to the problems that trying to identify sufficiency is yes but cutting back crucial peacekeeping operations no but just to go back to the previous point you know i actually think that the u.n. does have a very key role in and dissuading and preventing crises and conflicts because ev

ambassador nikki haley will be holding everything in new york. you can see your comments live at 4:30 eastern, here on c-span. president trump is in new york meeting world leaders who were attending the u.n. general assembly meeting he was joined by south korea's president and japan's prime minister at a luncheon. here is a look. president trump: thank you, very much. today i am announcing a new executive order, just signed, that significantly expands our authority to target individuals, companies, financial institutions that finance and facilitate trade with north korea. address toed at my the united nations general north korea's nuclear weapons and missile development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world, and it is an acceptable that others financially support this criminal, rogue regime. the brutal north korean regime does not respect its own citizens, or the sovereignty of other nations. order will cutve off sources of revenue that fund north korea's efforts to develop the deadliest weapons known to humankind. the order enhanc

and before him nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. both those countries of course pushing for this resolution to be passed and probably pushing ideally for tougher sanctions than the ones that are actually in this resolution as it has passed we are still waiting to hear from the u.n. ambassadors from china and russia will be interesting to see what they have to say before though let's go to james bases at u.n. headquarters in new york i guess it passed it passed unanimously crucially and then of the five permanent members vetoed their resolution i guess they all must be relieved james what did you hear and what either nikki haley or cora beso say that caught your interest. well nikki haley hailing this as the toughest sanctions package ever against north korea but of course she originally wanted this to be tougher she talks about a reduction of thirty percent of the oil going to north korea the u.s. in the original draft of the resolution had a total ban on all or oil and petroleum products going to north korea so they have had to bac

don't want to take their noses out of the situation i'm thinking of the united states ambassador nikki haley saying that they should suspend providing weapons to me and i are but actually stopping short of properly calling for sanctions what more did she say well essentially a nikki haley brought a same amount of moral outrage that you would traditionally expect to hear from the united states government about the situation echoing what the secretary general antonio guterres had to say here's a bit more of nikki haley's comments in the past two hours we cannot be afraid to call the actions of the burmese authorities what they appear to be a brutal sustained campaign to cleanse the country of an ethnic minority. now barbara you raise the question of whether the u.n. security council is contemplating any sort of any action namely sanctions well we may not be at that point yet but there is certainly a lot of real concern about whether countries are in any way tacitly endorsing what the government in young going is doing by continuing business as usual that includes joint military exercises selli

nikki haley.walk you through the meetings and other events of next week and take some of your questions. as always i will be up afterwards to answer questions unless you want to give me a free pass it's friday. >> good afternoon everyone, i want to begin by acknowledging the horrific attacks in europe, the united states stands in solidarity with the people of the united kingdom and france, we will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to prevent attacks and of course the united states remains committed to defeating terrorist organizations as well as their evil ideology. the president has been unambiguous here, energizing our defeat isis campaign and calling on muslim majority nations to fight extremism. we will defend our people and our values against these cowardly attacks and we will always stand with countries around the world to do the same. i want to turn to president trump's trick trip next week to attend the general assembly, the consistent message across all his engagements through

is if nikki haley his ambassador has been saying has the time come for the u.n. to actively anticipates big problems around the world and react accordingly instead of letting it get to the stage where there's mass migration there's a mass refugee movement people are being killed well i don't see how the u.n. can anticipate. problems of that sort because it doesn't have the power to intervene i mean even if you don't have the legislative power or the more power to intervene they don't have the capability to intervene to stop. crimes against humanity the only thing that they can really intervening is if you have a natural disaster or a famine or. something like that where they ate agencies the u.n. has put food program you know your you know unicef and others might be able to. coordinate with other n.g.o.s and other relief agencies to bring in some sort of relief quite quickly but they can't do it if the host government who is a member state refuses to cooperate so i'm i don't see that the un is in a position to try to anticipate problems or to try to stop them bef

we heard nikki haley and h.r.bout that they're cutting off 90% of exports and 30% of fuel. this won't happen overnight. as the days and weeks wear on, they believe that north korea will be squeezed by the sanctions. that said, if they're not properly enforced, if some of north korea's allies or patrons sneak things across the border or people get them in some other way, the military option is on the table. nikki haley said i have no problem kicking this over to general mattis if necessary. we recall that mattis said in strident terms saying they have a number of military options to take on north korea warning kim jong-un, trace, not to ever fire a nuclear weapon in the direction of the united states, any of its territories or its allies. mattis saying we're not looking to totally annihilate north korea, but we have a number of military options to do so. i imagine what you'll hear what the president will say, the united states remain committed to a denuclearized north korean peninsula, that it's going to pursue dip

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, today.o the russian ambassador speaking out about north korea? >> that's right. a short time ago, we heard from the u.n. russian ambassador and he talked about the most recent resolutions. he said that while they called for sanctions, they also called for efforts at diplomacy. he singled out the united states in this regard saying that the united states is in noncompliance. he accused the united states united states of essentially not trying to pursue a diplomatic resolution. he said, "mutual threats must be stopped." and he also, shannon, expressed his frustration for the process here at the united nations, a process that has so far failed to halt the north korean nuclear weapons program. listen to more of what he had to say. >> they are in a vicious circle. they have a resolution, the publication -- the provocation, that is another provocation. we are contemplating many people raising an issue that we have to think, maybe, out of >> we also heard from the japanese today. the japanese u.n.

ambassador nikki haley saying that the u.n.out of options on containing north korea's nuclear program. really? totally out of options? i mean i keep going back to what the heck are we doing with china? can't we pressure china more. let's do that, okay? lieutenant colonel ralph peters tells us exactly how we do that. that's next. today, we're out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doesn't, does it? actually, it does. type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. and with heart disease, your risk is even higher. you didn't know that. no. yeah. but, wait, there's good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart di

nikki haley, ambassador to the united nations speaking a few moments ago. speak about the crisis situation we're facing, this comes a day after telling the u.n. security council that north korean leader kim jong-un is begging for war with his recent provocative acts. amid that warning, growing speculation that north korea is preparing to conduct another long range missile test days from now. joining us now, lindsay ford, political affairs for the asia policy institute and former pentagon adviser on asia and pacific security. you heard nikki halley's commens yesterday. how concerned are you kim jong-un will take her on, you want a war, i've got one for you. >> with all respect to nikki haley, i think it's misread of the situation. i think they are trying to demonstrate they have the ability and the will to respond in such a strong way with an operational nuclear program that they are going to prevent the united states from considering attacking it. i think actually what north korea wants is to make sure the united states is going to take military options off

>> no, just on the reporting side, i've talked to people close to nikki haley.'s been given explicit okay by donald trump to be sort of -- be treated as if she's a cabinet member but the u.n. ambassador is often a cabinet member. still a complex relationship with secretary of state and is below the secretary of state in normal administrations. but not so much in this time. and that's -- trump is fine with that. >> come back to the substance of this, the north korea thing underlying all of this. one of the things that's become clear to me on the basis of a bunch of conversations with former republican secretaries of state, democratic former secretaries of state, former national security advisers. there's this big broad consensus on north korea which is we must have clarity in terms of what we're saying to kim jong-un. he must know what -- where the line is and if he does, if he crosses that line, what the consequences will be. we can't gauge how rational he is or what game he's playing but clarity about what causes would create effects and what those would be. bu

melissa: we are looking at nikki haley right now take to the podium.d listen in. >> a productive and strong week at the u.n. the united states had a very strong presence with the president and vice president. many members of the national security team and economic team. the united states was out in full force and i think the u.n. felt it but i think it was extremely. look at those at beginning of the week. we started with u.n. reform. president and secretary-general rolling out massive reforms for the u.n. when was extraordinary, 130 countries signed on to the reforms, that was 2/3 of the general assembly which is who will vote on this at the end. so that was a great start to the week. then you saw the president's address to the general assembly. i think it showed the strength of the united states but also asked the world to come together. it asked all countries to come together as we fight these rogue regimes, mainly north korea and iran. what you saw a lot of countries responded. they were very positive to the speech. they appreciated how blunt and h

nikki haley, the u.n. ambassador, said it is a new u.n. a sudden they are doing things they never used to. she said, the u.n. security council sanctions are a result of 30% reduction in oil, shipments to north korea,

any idea of that was insulting said nikki haley. be mediation efforts and there needs to be cormack heads and they need to refrain from action which can escalate —— cool heads. north korea will regard this as a partial victory. the united states seems to have backed itself into a corner, nikki haley saying enough is enough on donald trump has said the time for talking is over, but then what? he doesn't have an answer. one thing that emerge from what nikki haley was saying, benighted states is very serious about considering taking some kind of punitive trade measures against countries which deal with north korea —— the united states. that is aimed at china which does 90% of north korea's foreign trade. it was something that president trump tweeted about yesterday, we wondered if it was bluster, but it was clear from what nikki haley said that they do consider any country that does business with north korea as effectively propping up its nuclear weapons programme. it is considering measures which will do that, but that doesn't need to

even from the statements we have heard from nikki haley and h.r.re is that dplo diplomacy has more time. that seems in conflict with what we heard from shinzo abe in "the new york times" this morning. let's take a look at that. considering this history and its continuing missile launches and nuclear tests, more dialogue with north korea would be a dead end. pyongyang would see more talks as proof that other countries succumb to the success of its missile launches and nuclear tests. now is the time to exert the utmost pressure on the north. hallie, it seems like president trump is in the goldilocks position. more dubbish is north korsouth . the time for talk is over, that's almost contradiction to what you hear from the trump administration who says you need to keep talking. >> hans nichols at the pentagon, thank you. i'm lucky to bring you andrea mitchell, host of "andrea mitchell reports" in 90 minutes here on msnbc. and sarah westwood. and "newsweek's" nina barrier is here as well. the president is meeting with the leaders of south korea and japa

>> i agree with nikki haley.we see deals meant to sanction north korea, punish north korea, isolate north korea but they continue to work to proliferate. the bottom line is what we have been trying hasn't been working and the longer we sit in this bad situation with north korea the worse outcome we face but donald trump's remarks underscore the need for a strong america, a peaceful world when our allies trust us and enemies fear us. melissa: sometimes it feels we keep saying over and over again all options are on the table, doesn't seem like we are using any of them. is that a way to look at it or is that wrong? >> it is a way to look at it. we haven't proven we are going to use them. we have eight years, 12 years, 20 years of almost appeasement to north korea, we kicked the can down the road. when we say all options on the table our credibility is limited. north korea, the korean peninsula. maria: do you agree with that? >> from changing from the previous administration to the current ministries and americans ar

we will be hearing live from making the -- nikki haley. starting shortly here on c-span. >> live coverage from c-span new york city. we will be hearing soon from the u.n.ssador to nikki haley about additional sanctions against north korea announced today by president trump. later tonight, the senate leaders said they want to bring the new health-care proposal to the floor next week for a vote. we will bring a close look at the legislation sponsored by louisiana centreville cassidy and south carolina's lindsey graham. currentl change funding. we also review another proposal to change the current individual insurance market. you can see that tonight at 8:00 a.m. turn here on sees and - on c-span. we're waiting for nikki haley's comments on sanctions on north korea. >> u.s. ambassador to the u.n. onki haley's comments imposing sanctions to north korea. we will take you back here when her comments begin live on seat and. we heard about -- c-s we heard about sanctions from secretarypan. steve mnuchin. we'll look at his remarks. >> hello, everyb

ambassador nikki haley.hink the president is souring on diplomacy here, but again, military options are terrible, and they are not going to undertake any of them without the consent of the south korean government, which does not want to go to war with north korea. >> [speaking chinese] those comments towards south korea probably did not go down too well. he is speaking to parliament a little bit later. will trump's words be listened to by south korea? will they resent what he said over the weekend? alex: i doubt it is helpful that trump announced on friday, before this nuclear test, that he wants to renegotiate the u.s. free trade deal with south korea. it gets thei think relationship off to a nuclear weapons crisis is heating up. mark: alex, great to see you, bloomberg's alex wayne ther e, thank you for giving us a u.s. angle on the events in north korea. let's turn to china were president xi jinping is hosting russia, india, brazil, and south korea. the event also be a overshadowed by north korea's latest

the united states ambassador to the united nations nikki haley, listen here, speaking bluntly at theecurity council. >> for more than 20 years north korea has defied our collective voice. i must say, enough is enough. we have taken an incremental approach and despite the best of intentions it has not worked. his abusive use of missiles and hess nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. when a rogue regime has a nuclear weapon and an icbm pointed at you, you do not take steps to lower your guard. the united states will look at every country that does business with north korea as a country that is given aid to their reckless and dangerous nuclear intentions. >> should we be surprised? are we surprised? she emerged as such a strong spokeswoman for the administration on these security issues? now a general white house chief of staff, general as a defense secretary, business crises, nikki haley the go-to person. >> surprises me looking back to six or seven months ago. the republican governor of south carolina. who was not on the inner circle of the trump team at all. >> a trump cri

. >> -- nikki haley. >> the institution is worth the extra mile. our goal is to convince the delegations that have not yet signed the declaration to join the effort for a more efficient, accountable and transparent u.n. the united states believes we can make history by coming together as a true global community for reform. in the coming weeks and months, we will be considering the secretary general's broader vision. this is an opportunity for all of us to seize this moment and ensure that united nations remains relevant. we must challenge traditional mindsets, inertia and resistance to change. we will do this together. i hope we can count on your help. thank you, again, and let's make it a new day at the united nations. [ applause ] >> showing once again how deliberate her choice of wording is there, make it a new day at the united nations. she reiterated exactly what she told our dana bash here yesterday. nia-malik, you were in the middle of speaking as we went to nikki haley. >> talking about trump's off-the-cuff remarks about the trump tower acr

leaders regarding north korea we heard nikki haley speaking before the u.n. security council today and kind of calm tone saying that the north koreans have not passed a point of no return that there are peaceful and diplomatic solutions to the crisis but we've heard some very different words from nikki haley herself as whether as well as other u.s. officials in relation to north korea we are not looking for a war the north korean regime has not yet passed the point of no return if it agrees to stop its nuclear program it can reclaim its future if it proves it can live in peace the world will live in peace with. its nuclear threats show that he is begging for war massive military response. and overwhelming the shield stands guard. and the sword stands ready. they will be met with fire and we also heard from the representative of the russian federation now the ambassador for the russian federation he talked about how russia's opinion and russia's perspective has been and russia maintains that it is . it's not acceptable for north korea to have nuclear weapons f
