from north korea? i want you to -- the organizations in the u.s., i want them to prepare after the region falls, too, because right now so many refugees, defectors, mention their experience and how horrible the north korean regime is. many of you already know that. do we have any specific system that helps those people after they got released and came out f of the north korean regime. resettlement, he heducation and pressure, all those three parts are very important for efforts in the u.s. or the international community. thank you. >> the fact of this meeting, i think, has some significance but the content has been superb. i want to thank our special guests. we've touched on topics in terms of building international pressure for change, things we can take to help north koreans and then longer term about how we help the north korean people after the regime is gone. we could spend hours elaborating on each of these. each of us has a job, grace jo, let us let her get back to her job. i want to thank the p

all hallmarks of north korea. the debate over how terrible things are in north korea is over. it is now time for enforcement and accountability. since the end of world war ii, the global community has meticulously built up the international judicial system to counter human rights violations of all scales. it falls on all of us to defend it. states,cular, united japan and the republic of korea should be at the forefront of this defense. this trilateral stance canno tbe emphasized enough. that is why today's conference is very important. as liberal democracies defending universal values, such as human rights, resonates with our identity, north korea is a litmus test not only of our fortitude and commitment to protect human dignity, but also of who we are and what we stand for. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, ambassador li. especially for your very powerful conclusion on the importance of this kind of coordinated effort. finally, we are going to turn to our friend, ambassador robert king, to offer some summary comments. ambassador king is the special envoy for the north korea

although, north korea told japan that of the 12 remaining abduct tees, 8 have died and four in the north korea easter toir. there are so many contradictions and awkwardness in their explanation, for example, in 2004 north korea presented what they call the three mains, the dna tests conducted by the japanese government proved that the remains presented by north korea contained dna from a different person. >> according to the report of the coi issued in 2014, there are abduck tees, italy, netherlands and china. this means that the abduction by north korea. >> and the family of the victims, already 30 to 40 years have passed since the string of abduction. and and citizens of the victims have passed away without being able to reunit with their families, which is tragic. time lost can never be recovered, family members are agin we we don't have the luxury of time as we seek the resolution of the abduction issue. it is important for us to have higher level of interest in the protection of human lives rather than only to focus on nuclear and missile issue. ladies and gentlemen, i will urge you

north korea. and the reaction of north korea with regards to nuclear and missile program, has led to the heightened interests with hugh has an rights interests in the community and raising the level of momentum with regards to north korea. in order to extract specific action and sincerely listen to these voices will require pressure and by imposing pressure, we need to pull out north korea and have them come out for an tkpwoerbnegotiation. for negotiations. while we influence pressure we also want to pursue dialogue. and responding to abduction, nuclear and missile is a rational choice for north korea and we have to do something to make them understand that that is the rational choice and that is why we have to impose pressure. and the international at community must be united in imposing pressure and that is why we are placing so much trilateral cooperation and various measures are being taken and ambassador lee, you made suggestions on the means that we can implement and inclusive of the process

into north korea's territory. but there are so many contradicks. in 2004, north korea presented what they called -- but d.n.a. tests conducted proved that the remains presented by north korea contained d.n.a. from a different person which made it clear that what they call as remains were not those. furthermore, the target of abduction by north korea is not only limited to japanese citizens in the united states, there are allegations that mr. david snowden might have been abducted and based upon the testimony, there is a possibility that citizens of republicic of korea thailand may have been abducted. mover according to the report issued in february of 2014, there are abductees from malaysia, singapore, france, italy, netherlands and china. which means that the abduction by north korea is human rights issue for the entire international community. presently on the presumption that the abductees are still alive, the japanese government encourages north korea to release their citizens. the government of countries whos

two north korean soldiers were severely injured by land mines allegedly planted by the north.recently the north has launched missiles and conducted nuclear tests. this has all but drowned out the call for unification. south korea's former unification minister agreed to give nhk his first tv interview since leaving his post. he said the preparation program was stalled as the government contradict where the north is heading. >> translator: the results may have been different if we could take enough time, but the government of kim jong-un was very provocative in its early days. it was tough to predict what action the north would take. >> reporter: public interest in unification is a low point with young people in particular reacting sharply to the provocatio provocations. this young man hopes to play a leading role in the future unified nation but says he now has little chance to discuss north korea with his southern friends. >> translator: my friends are not interested in unification at all. they avoid the issue and think talking about it would be boring. to be frank, i don't kn

the fourth circuit oversees north carolina. is there legal standing on a doj perspective on what this bathroom needs. headline coming out of press conference here is north carolina is doubling down on the approach here. this is of course as you reported something that got to a climax because of the department pushing explicitly to north carolina. this has been the obama doj's position for sometimes dating back to 2014 where eric holde, o of course, the predecessor said the government wants to treat the transgenders as a protected class. that now applies here in the transgender context. the other big thing of fact checking of what we heard just now, what we are hearing from governor pat mccory is a narrative or a story where he was responding to local development in his state and a local ordinance that he disagreed with regard to whether people should be protected on this way or not. >> these types of proposals have been introduced in many states and often in direct reaction to the supreme court ruling upholding same-sex marriag

i was in the direct route north -- north to south that we would take it there was a speed bump. doubt the difference of north and south korea is like daylight and dark. i thank you gentlemen for bringing this to light. host: thank you from the call, another look at that nasa photograph. you for your service and you are absolutely right. from theuth korea, time of the year 1964, 1965 has come a long way. leader ofrs after the the latem 1961 through 1970's, just a few years after he came into power, this was the father of the current presidents of south korea. policies -- the war.y from the korean in andsident came focused on economic development with the tremendous support of the united states. in the 1950's and 1960's, there was a book dependence on u.s. aid. another indication of that commitment you pointed out. in addition to stationing troops on the korean peninsula and being that front line, the speed bump as you pointed out, if north korea were to invade. 1960's,rom the late that the south korean economy caught up and been surpassed that of north korea. host: let's go to ch

this was not a north carolina state agenda. no one in north carolina was talking about bathroom policy until the charlotte city council imposed a mandate on private businesses. withmandate required potential penalty of fine, access to restrooms, locker rooms, and shower facilities be based on one's gender identity or gender expression. a similar policy was rejected just months earlier by the voters of houston, texas by 61% of the vote. this caused major privacy concerns about males entering female facilities or females entering mail facilities. believed legislature this was an unnecessary government overreach into the private sector, imposing regulations and impacting ones personal privacy. the state legislature and this governor also believed that the guidelines then needed to be put into place because of this new public topic for government and our schools and allow fortops to privacy and expectation privacy for everyone. five days ago, the u.s. department of justice sent letters to my office, the department of public safety

instead north carolina sued the d.o.j. accusing them of overreaching. >> trevor: north carolina, at what point do you admit you are taking this too far because you realize you've already been sharing the bathroom for transpeople your entire lives and never noticed it and why would you? it's a public bathroom. you're supposed to go in and get out as fast as you can. if you can i.d. anyone else who is in the bathroom with you you are paying too much attention. i don't care who -- elvis could be on the urinal next to me and i wouldn't notice because i'm looking straight ahead at the wall. he could be gyrating like one for the money two for the show. i wouldn't notice. if you don't like trans people for whenever reason it's got down the list of problems pee everywhere is a bigger problem. why isn't it going where it's supposed to go and how come the automatic toilet always flushes before i'm done. you're a toilet. you don't have everywhere to be. it's not like you have captain america tickets. relax. there's so many other prob

they are effectively keeping north korea afloat and the only ally that north korea truly has.tainly there is a case to be made that china could do more, but the fact is you have to understand, china does not want north korea to collapse. they don't want the funding cut, the trading, because they could potentially have 25 million refugees on their border, flooding into china. also, they know that the u.s. has a very strong stake in south korea. if north korea collapses, could that u.s. influence then be on their doorstep. that's something they don't want as well. so they're in a tricky position. >> paula hancocks with the tricky diplomacy of the region. thank you so much for that. >>> a bill that would allow families of 9/11 victims to sue saudi arabia passed a key hurdle in the senate. lawmakers giving unanimous approval to the legislation that could make the saudi government liable for any part it may have played in the terror attacks. the obama administration has lobbied against that bill. keep in mind 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were saudi citizens. though, saudi arabia den

there's also the sense that china is less than respectful of north korean sovereignty and the north koreans pick up remnants of this middle kingdom mentality where they feel that china is trying to reassert its tradition about hedge money over korea. , that of course, leads to the meddling and it doesn't surprise me when relation sour or -- and i -- i'm shocked more by the ct that people seem really perplexed by the souring of relation between north korea and china. even as recently as the mid 2,000's, china's add to north korea was not and was up and down. it hasn't been consistent. there have been periods of souring of rust and relations. this is -- again, something else to keep in the back of your mind as you're reading reports in the newspaper about the relationship of china and north korea. over the past second decade, i would say -- at one point i actually went through and tallied up. of the came up with out past 70 years, this is when relations were pretty good. vs. just ok vs. really bad. in fact, ed say that the majority of the years, the elationship was not so good. the north kore
