and usually we can -- people in north korea. actually, me and paul, we visited pyongyang in 2001. with the eu, and at the time, we met a lot of people. but the -- not people just -- the group divide north korean. so even though we visited north korea -- but we didn't see the propaganda thing, i think. >> i would add, in reference to your question, we have done surveys where we ask what top ig would you like us to cover more of. when you put the surveys out, the thing that continues to come back as feedback is people want to know about daily life and culture way more than any other topic. so we have various defectors come in and talk about very mundane aspects. how to have fun. how to date. little stories that i would say can only really be done accurately outside of the country. but yeah, it is encouraging that there is despite the sensationalism, a strong interest in learning about the realities of life on the ground there. >> we could go on and on and on i'm afraid we need to draw this to a close. i want to thank you all for c

for years we've heard reports about the abuses endured by the people of north korea. torture, starvation, forced labor, and execution. a recent united nations commission of inquiry report confirmed these reports, calling the north korean regime responsible for systematic widespread, and gross human rights violations, including what they said was crimes against humanity. the chairman and i share a deep commitment to addressing the injustices endured by the north korean people. so we face a delicate balance, holding the korean leaders who perpetuate this violence accountable or recognizing the need for basic support for the north korean people. maintaining that balance makes our work on north korea all the more critical and all the more difficult. so i look forward to hearing your perspectives on this issue, and i thank you for joining us today. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you engel. this morning we're joined by representatives from the department of state, from treasury, and from homeland security. ambassador sung kim is the special representative for the north ko

a north korea with more nuclear weapons, a north korea with more missile delivery systems a north korea that continues to proliferate, so these negotiations haven't been successful. lets be brutally blunt about that. but that does' mean we stop. >> while the international community navigates policy options - changes within north korea might have the most far-reaching implications >> there is so much curiosity in south korea about what is happening in the north that as you can see hundreds of people come here every day to take a peek at the other side. >> our main glimpse of life in the provinces... we were shown in a cafe in seoul >> fault lines was shown exclusive footage from a north korean smuggler. he asked us not to reveal his identity. >> in this clip, a group of people are waiting outside a train station in suncheon city, north of pyongyang. we were told they were waiting for merchants to arrive with chinese goods that need to be brought to market... things like shampoos electronics and smuggled dvds. >> we are told if caught filming the markets... you could go to prison or worse

of course, china has a special relationship with north korea. they have considerable leverage over north be. i think what we've seen in our cooperation with china is that china is working with this more effectively in trying to stifle north korea's dangerous activities. it's an ongoing effort. i think all of us need to do more, including china. russia as you mentioned, there's been some contact some discussions of investment. but i believe the bottom line is that the russians remain committed to the shared goal of denuclearization and they do want to work with us to make sure that the north koreans move in that direction despite some of the contact we've seen recently. >> general touhill? >> thank you very much for the question sir. regarding the acquisition of tools and capabilities in cyberspace and being able to employ them, many of these tools as a matter of fact, most of these tools are readily available to anybody around the world through open-source acquisition. many of the tactics techniques and procedures used by attackers in cyberspace

north korea is a human rights disaster. nd as i've said before, the north korean government bears full responsibility for all of the misery they inflict on their people. i would defer to ambassador kim to get into the details of how -- the precise mechanisms of by which theyo press their -- they oppress their people. >> ambassador king would you like to add anything? >> i would just add that we know that it is part of the north korean human rights abuse. we don't know how much that contributes to their gdp but the north korean homan rights record is among the worst if not the worst and that is why we need to pay more attention to this issue and i think what happened in the u.n. contacts last year is significant, with the commissioner inquiry findings and the overwhelming passage of the human rights resolutions. >> thank you, madam chair. read back. >> mr. ribl, there has been some good reporting on the use in forestry and other sectors mining. but forestry in particular, the use of chain gangs north korean, what would you ca

does north korea north korea have a bomb of some magnitude?it is just yes or no. >> i wish i could give you a simple yes or no. >> can you say yes or no? >> we know they have continued to work on that flex we all no that. >> i'm not sure. >> do you have an answer? >> i would defer to the state department. >> north korea has conducted nuclear tests. >> they have sent satellites into orbit. >> they have conducted nuclear tests. >> do they have the bomb or not? >> sir i do not no. >> i personally think they have the capability to make a one based upon hearings we have had. looking on the other end, the delivery system the president of north korea says he wants to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile and for some reason he said he wants to 1st intercontinental ballistic missile to go to austin, texas. take that a little personal. what is the status of the delivery system, if you know? >> i do not no. >> this is not a treasury department issued. >> we are happy to provide you a full briefing in a classified setting. >> we have had some ope

maybe in conjunction with china, but it could be done by north korea itself. >> to your point, bruce, last night in talking with ambassador bill richardson who knows as much about korea as any politician in this country in my opinion, he was surprised at the extent of their capability in cyber warfare. when he is surprised, it is impressive. it is also disturbing that our officials have no real rejoinder or strategy or apparent path to respond to this attack. >> exactly. i'm concerned as part of the pattern with president obama we're going to see a firm resolute rhetoric pledging to do something proportional and strong to north korea and not carry through with actions. we have seen that with sanctions on north korea. the u.s. has done a number of things to iran syria, burma, and zimbabwe that we have not done to north korea. north korea is the one who has popped nuclear weapons and say that its nuclear program is for military purposes. >> we know the unit 121 during the 1990s was working on sending groups four teams, of covert special operations forces to this country, specifically to

it's not a question of north korea misbehaving without any effect on china. their own interests are harmed and that affects the approach. one example is if you look at the interaction between the leadership of china, south korea and north korea, they've had numerous meetings in the first two years of their leadership but then she visited south korea as a second overseas visit after the election to china after visiting the united states first and a number of interactive eco- -- interactions. i think that says quite a bit and we want to continue to work with china so that they work more effectively and cooperate better in terms of sanctions enforcement and in terms of preventing north korea from taking actions and also in terms of working towards the credible negotiations because we haven't given up on the negotiations. we want to try to resolve the nuclear issue and i think the chinese have a clear stake in it because for one thing they chaired the six party process. so this is a topic between us and the chinese at all levels president obama talks about it in e

would be provocative to north korea. and the regime. >> one thing mentioned it the fact that michael linton, c.e.o. of sony is on the board of trustees of rand corporation. so you see this intimate relationship between sony and the military industrial complex. coming back to the freedom of expression. it boils down to two different perspectives. despite the threat of violence, goers. >> it was described by directorsar silly. they said it was their duty. in north korea, the state forecaster called "the interview" an act of terrorism. >> for the general population the leadership in north korea is daified, they are like a god. imagine a film were prophet muhammad or jesus christ was a target for assassination, it offends many. that dis departments in north korea -- dizzy departments would not be helpful, would be destabilizing. >> any time someone is threatened enough to not speak, it's a freedom of expression issue. we call it the hecklers veto in the nates, something is not -- united states, something is not spoken becaus

let me address north korea specifically. that slammed the door on the north korean involvement. i think it was everything together that gave us the confidence that this was north korea who committed this act by themselves. i think it's important that we realize that we're trying every day to keep america safe. the tools that we use are the tools that the american people provide us with or that they finance. we've got to be as robust as we can. >> chairman, thanks for joining us. >> thanks wolf. >> the new chairman of the senate intelligence committee. we have more on the new report out there about nsa spying on north korea. could the u.s. have warned sony about the cyber attack before it happened? we will talk about twists in the terror investigation in european the missteps before the slaughter in paris. our analysts, they are standing by.

north korea is a human rights disaster. and as i've said before, the north korean government bears full responsibility for all of the misery they inflict on their people. i would defer to ambassador kim to get into the details of how -- the precise mechanisms of by which they opress their -- they oppress their people. >> ambassador king, would you like to add anything? >> i would just add that we know that it is part of the north korean human rights abuse. we don't know how much that contributes to their gdp but the north korean huan rights record is among the worst if not the worst and that is why we need to pay more attention to this issue and i think what happened in the u.n. context last year is significant, with the commissioner inquiry findings and the overwhelming passage of the human rights resolutions. >> thank you, madam chair. i yield back. >> mr. ribble, there has been some good reporting on the use in forestry and other sectors mining. we now go to miss gabbert of hawaii. >> thank you very much. thank you for be

it's north korea's primary arms dealer. they hold these positions in north korea. do we know anything about them do any of the names stick out to you? >> none of the names really stick out. some of them are important but they aren't internationally well-known. what the obama administration is trying to do is these sanctions won't be effective but they're intentionally not effective. it's basically a shot across the bow hoping north korea will not retaliate. that's going to be a very interesting thing to see over the next weeks and months because north korea is probably not going to take this lying down. >> so a shot across the bow. we expect they're going to react, as you say. steven what do you think? will they? how will they react to this? >> if history is a guide, they will retaliate in some way. we've had multiple instances of when the north korean regime is unhappy that they will test a missile, fire at an offshore island on the south, they can detonate a nuclear-capable device. they've now, according to the allegations of the fbi, engaged in cyber attacks. th

sanctions against north korea are maxed out that there is not more that the u.s. can do. at is patently false. the u.s. can for example designate the entire north korean government primary money laundering concern as it has iran and burma. it could do a lot more to really tighten the financial noose around kim jong-un the north korean leader. >> it probably won't do it and is hesitant to do it more generally because there is always concern about the reaction from north korea correct? >> that's right. and that's the reason north korea's demonstrated lethal means to attack south koreans u.s. personnel and installations from south korea over the past half century. yes we take north korea quite seriously. at the same time, the athis assault, north korea said it would blow up the blue house and many times this time it really worked in muzzling free speech in the united states. i think backlash the sense of indignation felt by the american public and many people in congress as well as the obama administration was not foreseen by north korea. so who knows. maybe the u.s. will fin

north korea remained allied with russia and with china but north korea developed a brand of totalitarian leadership that became increasingly isolated and increasingly cruel as time went by. kim il-sung was a popular leader. he had a real grassroots support from lots of north koreans. and when he died in 1994 people genuinely wept. his son the first hereditary dictator in a communist state kim jong-il was less popular and he didn't have a popular touch. but he was shrewd and he was cruel and the camps as an instrument of enforcement became increasingly important. and the population grew. there are indications now with this third kim family leader kim jong m. who is 28, 29 years old and interestingly it's about the same age as the hero in my book it's unclear how popular he will be or if he will have control at this point. c-span: we will come back to your hero the book shin after a show you some video from our first book interview back in 1991 i asked you if you like to travel.

now i frankly, lou, was surprised that north korea had that capability. i was there with the chairman of google two years ago, and they barely seemed to understand the internet. they barely seemed to have viable computer force but they sure fooled everybody. if they are the conclusive perpetrator, then there has to be a response. >> governor, we thank you very much for being with us. ambassador, i could go through your list of titles bill richardson, for minutes here. i'll just say ambassador richardson thanks for being with us again. >> it's good to be on your show. >>> new york city mayor bill de blasio escalating his war against the country's largest and most diverse police when heartburn comes creeping up on you... fight back with lief so smooth... .it's fast. tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue ...and neutralizes stomach acid at the source. tum, tum tum tum...♪ smoothies! only from tums. you know your dentures can move, unlike natural teeth. try fixodent plus true feel. the smooth formula helps keep dentures in place.

punishing north korea in the wake of the sony cyber attack. a is ordering tough new economic sanctions on three powerful north korean government entities and ten senior officials. you remember that theater chains pulled sony's movie the interview depicting the assassination of kim jong-un. the administration seems to be confirming the belief that north korea is behind the cyber attack. our jim acosta is "outfront." >> happy new year. >> reporter: the new sanctions ordered by president obama are being dubbed by the white house as broad and powerful. and the response to the north korea alleged cyber attack on sony pictures. senior administration officials say they are aimed at any and all officials of the north korean government the political hierarchy and the heart of pyongyang cyber operation and the money that finances it. specifically blocked from any dealings with u.s. financial firms, the rgb, the north korea intelligence komed, the primary arms developer and a research and development firm n. a letter to john boehner, the president said hi

the "times" report says the nsa started breaching north korea's hacking networks back in 2010. the north koreans have denied hacking sony but this report says u.s. intelligence agencies were able to track it back so quickly because of the monitoring they had done for at least a few years. tonight, kim jong-un knows how the u.s. government came to point the finger at him for the sony cyberattack. >> we can confirm that north korea engaged in this attack. >> reporter: how could the president be so confident just a few weeks after sony had been hacked? the "new york times" reports the national security agency america's super-secret eavesdroppers, had infiltrated north korea's shadowy cyberwarriors since 2010. >> it appears that what happened was nsa established footholds in various parts of north korea's computer infrastructure. they basically established footholds in the chinese region and they apparently established

north korea did it. it was a new marker of a nationstate doing something to course. >> was this different than the attack by iran? >> yeah. our government is kind of feckless in its response. we will get around to our usual effort here __ to be of the victim. we'll get to that directly. sony will have to answer a whole lot of questions. >> so you were surprised? >> i am pleased, maybe modestly surprised. i would have struck proportional. i would pick a fight where we want it. this sense implications beyond cyber stuff. this is a pathological little gangster state that wants to hold at risk different things of value to different people in the world. we have allowed them to reach __ to take the game into a different domain. just for a moment, not particularly cyber related, north korea foreign_policy has been like the instructions on your shampoo bottle __ provoke, accept concessions, repeat. it has not been on a stable line. they have taught us to tolerate evermore provocative actions. i would really figh

and to actually name north korea. obama named north korea and vowed to punish the country. so, we are going to go over the attack and the applications cash implications. briefly, -- implications. briefly, what happened at sony. you are all familiar with this. just before things giving sony discovered viruses in the system. then the guardians of peace, as they were called, began posting embarrassing e-mails online, showing executives making racially insensitive remarks. that started to get a lot of attention and become a problem for sony. about mid december, the hackers ratcheted up and put a threatening message online threatening violence against theaters that showed the film and alluded to 9/11. at that point, theaters get nervous. they talk about not wanting to show the film. sony decides they have to cancel the planned release for christmas day, and that leads to a huge controversy. the very next day president obama convenes a meeting in the situation room with his national security council. they decide, based on unanimous recommendations, that they are going to publicly

the representatives of north korea in places like africa iran russia and syria because arms exports, arms dealing on the black market is one way that the north korean regime obtains cash the cash that supports the regime and the luxurious lifestyle of the very few privileged elite in pyongyang, talking about kim jong-un and his closest associates. without cash they can't continue that lifestyle. they also can't continue investing large amounts in their military and also the other things that they've been investing in including their cyber activities. so that's why you see the umpt.s. trying to cut off their cash flow. >> that makes sense especially as you describe that is how they get their cash. we also heard though that this could just be the first aspect of its response. what can we take away from that as far as what their big picture is their plan? >> you can read into it a few different things. first of all, it shows that the united states in spite of some skepticism from private cyber security firms, definitely believes north korea is behind the hack on sony which is why they're

do we have those situations in north korea? >> not really. there are rich north koreans who maintain foreign bank accounts but those are due to political connections. there is not really a kind of private business olagart class in north korea like there is in russia. so what we're talking attacking are state officials. in the executive order by the president, before those sanctions were triggered by activities related to weapons proliferation. now they've added two additional triggers, cyber warfare and human rights. perspectively, given how broadly this executive order is written, the potential number of targets in north korea is absolutely vast. basically any government agency, any enterprise, i don't want to call them a private firm, and lots of state officials could potentially be sanctioned. >> marcus, i'm smarter at the end of this conversation than i was before. marcus nolan as the institute for economic studies. >>> in paris many were disappointed that the charlie hebdo magazine sold out quickly. that caused the publisher to print more

john, let's talk about this, with regards to north korea. because the president came out today and we're putting sanctions down. i mean, this is the north koreans. do we have the resources, do companies have the resources to fight back if the government can't fight for us? >> number one, the government is not responsible for corporations. they have to take that on for their own task. corporations believe that they're tied into products. yet every place that has been broken into has these devices. they don't have the proper understanding of network security and some managers out there too many of them don't even have a -- the respect for security by saying hey -- one manager actually told me, i can recover from an attack. i don't have to worry about my clients or employees getting their information stolen. i can recover from that. that's a bad attitude. cheryl: pretty confident. do you think that companies -- usually when these cyber attacks happen or you tell me or the expert don't these hackers leave behind back doors so that they can come b

and north korea?reporter: the chinese government certainly you might imagine feels a bit caught in the middle here because they are obviously neighbors with north korea. they are north korea's largest trading partner. its benefactor that keeps it going and they have reached out to china to ask for help in investigating the cyberattack on sony which they believe was north korea was involved because north korea relies on china for its internet service. there is a belief that there might be a north koreaen presence probably launching these type of attacks but china has said all along and tried to defuse the situation and the two country need to talk to each other. north korea has called for a jipts investigation into the cyberattacks with the united states. that's very unlikely though to happen considering that the two countries have no diplomatic ties and you keep seeing this kind of hostile rhetoric out of pyongyang, natalie. >> thank you very much. will ripley out of beijing, thanks will. >>> a u.s. h

the order is not targeted at the people of north korea but rather is aimed at the government of north korea and its activities. these sanctions will be carried out by the treasury department and teal go after north korean intelligence, the country's primary arms dealers and a corporation that has ties to the military. we also understand they have identified ten individuals who are in north korea who also have ties to iran, syria and china. eric. >> all right, dan. some thought the internet going out a week or so was intentional. no response on that. clearly a public response to that hacking. thank you, dan. >> absolutely. s yep. >>> right now more help is on the way from the u.s. bringing additional resources in the recovery effort. about 30 bodies have been recovered. some found still belted in their seats and why it happened is still yet not -- is still yet unknown. american naval ships deploying the wreckage to the wreckage site in the java sea. the uss samson enjoyed the search at indonesia's request and has recovered more than one-third of the bodies found no far. the combat ship
