south korean athletes trained prior to the olympics at the ski resort in north korea. ith forced labor. north korean soldiers built it according to the dprk, forced labor, children were engaged in public mobilization campaigns, in snow removal and other operations at this ski resort. that has absolutely nothing to do with the olympic spirit. actually, that runs counter to the olympic spirit. of course, those south korean athletes were not allowed to wear their south korean flag shoulder patches. as we recall, only one of the members of the south korean delegation that traveled to pyongyang for the summit meeting wore a south korean flag lapel pin, and that was none other than the vice chair of the group. so there are very serious human rights concerns. human rights was clearly sacrificed for the sake of the pyeongchang olympics. a lot of compromises were made. one example, kim ill jong, the leader's sister, is on a list of sanctioned individuals issued by our own treasury department and state department for a simple reason. she's responsible for punishing those seeking

the things that north korea has, the international norms that north korea has violated. he talked about nuclear and ballistic missiles. of course. but he also talked about the murder of his half brother, in malaysia, using chemical and biological weapons. he talked about north korea's proliferation, past proliferation. he talked about the japanese abduction, the abductions of the japanese citizens that north korea conducted in the past. and he also talked about human rights. and about the detention and the eventual death of otto warmbier. fast forward a year later. at the u.n. general assembly speech in 2018. just a month ago. president trump said, missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction. nuclear testing has stopped. and remains of our fallen heroes are being returned to lay at rest in american soil. and then he went on to thank president moon for facilitating a conversation, the diplomacy with kim jong-un, and this was in addition to the, what i feel are gratuitous compliments to kim jong-un for engaging in diplomacy. in that same speech, president

guest: north korea calls them "wargames." it makes them sound very offensive. r president trump has called the u.s. and south korea military exercises as "wargames" as well. i think that is unfortunate. these are make sure what happened in 1950 does not happen again. also made other incursions into south korea since the 1950's in the form of raids of the blue house, where the south korean president is, kidnapping and abducting south koreans as well as japanese. the games are to make sure there is interoperability between the to. and south koreans and make sure that they are prepared for any type of military scenario in that region. as i mentioned earlier, we don't want a military conflict in the region, given the economic, political, geopolitical, and the nuclear capabilities, the threat that north korea poses. the exercises are to make sure the u.s. and south korea are on the same page on this. host: finally, the general assessment of the summit that took place in singapore nearly six month ago by south korean leaders, by japan, what was the assessment and? gue

where promises were made for denuclearization, relief was given to north korea, then promises were broken. >> but to hold this next summit, does this administration need to get a complete list from the north koreans of their weapons and their facilities to hold this next summit? >> i think it will be absolutely imperative in this next summit that we come away with a plan for identifying all of the weapons in question, identifying all the development sites, allowing for inspections of those sites and the plan for dismantling a nuclear weapon. the goal here is the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. what a heard from president moon and what i head from prime minister abe is that really the world is united behind that commitment. we're going to keep the pressure on. we're going to keep the sanctions in place. president trump continues to be very hopeful that in that next summit we'll come out for a plan for actually implementing and achieving denuclearization. >> he said he had fallen in love with kim jong-un. yet there are still plenty of reasons to be skeptical of whe

ys sanctions against north korea have always been top.t, like domestic law enforcement which takes time and effort, is really a shell of what it was last year. there are statutory conditions. us laws for the gradual suspension and ultimate termination of sanctions, complete dismantlement of sanctions, complete dismantlement of all existing weapons of mass destruction programme and so forth. we are nowhere near that. thousands of runners took to the streets of new york for the city's annual marathon — the largest race in the world. ethiopia's lelisa desisa claimed the men's title — crossing the line in two hours and five minutes. in the women's race, mary keitany from kenya was leader of the pack, finishing in two hours and 22 minutes. women have been told for years not to leave it too late before having kids to reduce the health risks for their children. now, new research from the us suggests that delaying becoming a dad could also affect the health of kids. researchers found that babies with older dads have a greater chance of being born

and we'll have more on north korea later in the programme.is hour: rallies have been held across iran denouncing sweeping us sanctions due to come into force on monday. the demonstrations have been taking place on the 39th anniversary of the occupation of the us embassy in tehran. earlier this year president trump decided to pull out of the international nuclear deal with iran. the italian authorities say that 29 people have lost their lives in fierce storms that have battered the country. in the past 2a hours, 12 people, including nine from the same family, have died in floods on the southern island of sicily. in the uk the pro—brexit businessman, arron banks, has insisted that all the money he provided to the campaign to leave the eu — amounting to millions of pounds ahead of the referendum came from his uk companies. he's facing a police investigation into claims that he was not the true source of the funding. the main tamil political grouping in sri lanka has urged president sirisena to reconvene parliament immediately so as to end a seve

but other nations that have long been concerned about north korea's missile program japan and south korea in particular are going to be even more worried by the latest report because the site that was explained most in detail in the c.i.s. c.s.i.s. report today was about a short range ballistic missile production center short range to hit south korea and to hit japan a month fitzpatrick always a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time quite welcome come on now it's really his hosting a conference aimed at bringing stability to libya warring parties and foreign powers will try to bring an end to seven years five saying we're going to get more now from jonah hill he is in the facilities that the of palermo where the meeting is all set to take place jonah. yes well this this conference come out is slowly getting underway with the dinner most of the delegates are here they'll continue their talks on tuesday or so far or we've really heard out of it well it's not insignificant comments from her son salomé the u.n. envoy for libya laying out what appears to be a new road map a timeline

what appears to be happening is north korea is trying to wait us out, they know the sanctions regime fragile, we depend on russia and china, breaking the sanctions and south korea which is interested in more economic collaboration with north korea and they are hoping they don't have to give up much on the path to denuclearization in return to economic benefit. that is what kim jong un is all about. heather: their cooperation with the sanctions, we do have competing interests with various countries but we need them in order for this to work, if the world will see north korea restrained in any way. >> this is the diplomatic challenge for mike pompeo and i'm glad he is the one leading the way with his team, envoy from north korea, who is very exceptional talent as well in this area but that is the challenge. mike pompeo has to convince south korea to stay the course, to pressure china and russia to the extent we can. north korea is exporting their labor and weapons, conducting ship to ship oil transfers, breaking sanctions enough that their economy doesn't completely fall apart, while th

to a new report using satellite imagery despite its pledge to scrap a major missile test site, north korea work elsewhere on its nuclear weapons program. five months after the president met kim jong un in singapore. one missile base is just 50 miles north of the dmz, concealing seven tunnels that can accommodate 18 mobile missile launchers. vice president pence is in asia to meet the leaders of south korea and japan. >> president trump and i remain confident that president moon, prime minister abe and the united states are all going to continue to work in concert to achieve the complete verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula. >> north korea has not tested any missiles this year following three intercontinental ballistic missile launches in 2017. it still has up to 60 nuclear warheads and has not taken any steps to scrap them. last week a top pyongyang official unexpected look canceled a meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo to lay the groundwork for another summit between president trump and leader kim jong un. the president calls it a complex relationship.

>> i am a north korea skeptic.rew administrations as their nuclear arsenal has grown in order to be able to threaten the continental united states. the announcement may not necessarily be a huge development with respect to the capabilities of north korea and likely to be a weapon that was under development prior to the kim jong un and president trump sitting down together, however it shows a return to the militaristic stance of north korea. it is in contrast to his statements of seeking peace. you have to give this administration credit that this president has done something different. he rightly turned to china and said there would not be a nuclear north korea without china and crippling sanctions on itself and under took a build up around north korea that brought them to the table. we are not seeing much of it even though north korea made statements of commitment to denuclearization that appear to be accepted by south korea. that of course leaves the united states still at risk. >> that's why i wonder if north ko

hidden bases in north korea.s saying any missile at these bases coming from these bases could take a nuclear warhead. what does this mean for the progress that president trump says has been made? >> kate, it means that the art of deal is really the art of the steal in north korea's favor. everything that the president told us was happening with his great success in negotiating with north korea is not happening. and the north koreans have talked about dismantling one of their missile sites at the same time in secret they're moving forward apparently with 16 others. the challenge here is this. i'm glad that president trump moved to diplomacy and was seeking to engage north korea. better than the fire and fury we were looking at a year ago, but you actually have to get something for that engagement. thus far, the only person who has gotten anything out of it really is kim jong-un. legitimacy from being able to meet with president trump on the world stage. being able to move forward with his program even when he says

it really should come as no surprise to anyone that north korea is continuing to develop its conventional ballistic missiles program as well as trying to develop nuclear weapons neither was prohibited by the agreement which the north korean leader kim jong il and the u.s. president donald trump signed when they met in singapore earlier this year and in fact critics of this agreement say that not only was there are no prohibition but there was also no way that the u.s. or any other country for that matter could check up on pyongyang's behavior in either arena now comes this report from the washington based think tank c s i s which says that north korea has been continuing work at at least sixteen facilities around the country including at one facility not even an hour's drive from the border with south korea that of course is very worrisome because south korea has a substantial threat of north korean nuclear missiles the question now becomes what to do there are a number of sanctions that have been imposed on north korea by both the united nations and the united states but because of the u

should north korea act unwisely.er he wrote, why would kim jong-un insult me by calling me old when i would never call him short and fat? oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen. then, a surprising shift. in a bizarre late night scene, south korean officials announced from the white house lawn that our president would meet kim jong-un of north korea. as the courtship evolved, a senior north korean official delivered a message from kim to trump in a novelty-sized envelope. the two leaders went on to meet in singapore, a choreographed affair where the american president described a very special bond with the north korean dictator. trump returned claiming there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. then at a campaign rally in west virginia came this. >> and you know the interesting, when i did it, and i was really being tough and so was he, and we were going back and forth, and then we fell in love. okay? no, really, he wrote me beautiful letters, and they're great letters.

and now, the leader of north korea gets to deal one on one with our guy, the president of the united states. that is a sea change. >> right. and that's something the north koreans have wanted for a long time, and they got it. one could argue that they got it free. they didn't have to give up anything. but i take a slightly different view on the north korea deal. before president trump took office, the problem was nobody knew, nobody knew how to coerce a hostile nation into giving up the nuclear weapons it already has and stopping its nuclear program. nobody knew how to do that. nobody still knows how to do that. and it's probably not going to happen. so, you know, i don't think this summit is going to bear the fruit that the president hopes it's going to bear. but i do think that the lessening of the extreme rhetoric on both sides is probably, on balance, a good thing. it probably provides a kind of cooling down period and who knows, maybe a dialogue that, you know, can start even if they're telling lies to each other, dialogue can start that at least forestalls conflict, and who know

administration during these negotiations, if those sanctions are being weakened, what incentive does north koreae concessions to the u.s.? >> well, i think that's true in what you're also seeing is that south korea is adding to the pressure when the north and south korean leaders met, they agreed to increase trade, open up routes between the two countries. things they can't do unless u.n. sanctions are lifted. just by saying it out loud, they together with china signals that north korea's most close neighbors, south korea and china and in a sense its best supporters, are putting the pressure on the u.s. to hurry up and come up with some sort of a deal. and what you see in response is that the president is offering this great prestige of another meeting, possibly in the united states, maybe at mar-a-lago. so the message from -- that you see pyongyang getting is that every time we misbehave, we actually get a little bit more for it. >> now, that said, kimberly, north korea has now said that it will deport an american citizen who is detained there a month ago in north korea, and officials say this

policy on north korea. we think that it is dangerous for international security for north korea to have a military nuclear program. we want to see denuclearization there, and it is clear that sanctions had been a element in bringing north korea to the table. so far, you have a historic summit between the two presidents. what you have not seen yet is real unification happening in north korea, and until we do, the sanctions need to continue. pyongyang,embassy in and so we know this about what has happened in the country with sanctions. it is certainly having an impact. that will have to continue into the north koreans deliver what they promise, which is in the military nuclear program. yes, we do cooperate a lot with the administration on these issues. we will cooperate on that as well. whether sanctions are mother was -- what thesee is, policy is, and hopefully it is effective. >> yes, sir. you have written some books that would be recommended to the young people. douglas reed, who was very renowned internat

i have a question on north korea.in february, you wrote an op-ed about a first strike on north korea and the justifications for that. i'm wondering how your thinking on that has changed or not, especially if this period of engagement ceases and negotiations are no longer ongoing. what do you think about military options? mr. bolton: i have written and said a lot of things over the years, and i still believe every one of them. but i don't compare what i said when i was a free spirit to what i say now as the national security advisor, because obviously i am in a very different kind of place. i give my advice to the president and he decides what he is going to do. i like to say i am the national security advisor, not national security decision maker. we are launched on a particular course with north korea. the president is determined and optimistic he can see it through. mike pompeo has been working as hard as anybody i know can work on this and continues to do so. that is the course we are on. and you know, if we can ge

>> north korea is a threatening regional power as well. the most important thing is to think strategically to begin with. to understand other powers in the world have their own plans and their own interests and are implementing them. we are not simply observing something and occasionally running into a problem. there are countries that have interest that are fundamentally adverse towers that we have to deal with. that is not to say that you don't see areas for cooperation. no one is looking for ceaseless competition. but to believe that history has ended as people said about 30 years ago, the geopolitical conflict has disappeared, that we are purely in an era of economics is fundamentally wrong. i don't want to say that we are back in the 19th century, we may be back in some century before that with far more lethal weapons available to the parties involved. unless you are prepared to protect the united states interest by having our own strategy to deal with countries whose adverse interest becomes more apparent, we will suffer the question

ey're now saying north korea has destroyed ten guard posts around the border. that's probably pretty good news, not nuclear-related. but is it because you were sort of against the president's then bellicose rhetoric that you were taken off that short list? >> well, i was against it, and i wasn't the only one who was against it. there were lots of other people in washington who were pretty tough on north korea that thought the answer was not some sort of military strike. the white house -- the president gets to choose his own people, right? so they chose me in the beginning, but they change the their mind. it's their decision. i'm happy with where i am. >> and presumably happy with the trajectory because it's no longer this militaristic trajectory. >> absolutely. this is a much better path to be on than where we were a year ago. >> with all the challenges, that's at least some good news. victor cha, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> so north korea is not the only area of american foreign policy where politics and reality don't always line up. after a

pyongyang and washington seems to have stalled lately and no talks going on between the us and north koreaote second summit planned between president trump and kim jong—un. washington has voiced some concerns about the cooperation between the two koreas. they want it to continue but they do not want to upset one of its allies. they want to try to give up its allies. they want to try to give up its weapons and also continue talking to the us. a new study in romania suggests that the country's forests, including some of the most ancient in europe, are disappearing at an alarming rate. the national forest inventory suggests that 38 million cubic metres of trees, that's about 36 times the volume of empire state building, are being cut every year. more than half of that are cut illegally. nick thorpe sent this report from the country's south—west. agent 6reen have been investigating the forest. the river valley, one of the last great beech forest of europe. the wilderness home of brown bears and wolves. but more than half the trees in this national park face the chop. this footage was shot by a

/north korea nuclear talks. >> good morning.l imagery that has been analyzed by a think tank here in town. what they have come up with is very interesting. it looks like this imagery is now showing that north korea is continuing activity at up to 16 bases deep underground, holding potentially mobile ballistic missiles. north korea, very importantly, is continuing with its production cycle. we have seen, but the president is right, they're not test firing missiles anymore. we haven't seen any of that. they're not doing underground testing, but u.s. officials say they assume, and this begins to show the evidence that they are continuing with production. this imagery shows us how they use that mountainous terrain in north korea. they have dug out shelters deep underground, and if they put mobile missile launchers in there, the u.s. has a very hard time seeing with satellites that those missiles could be moved out and fired very quickly. poppy, jim. >> so barbara, before you go, we saw just last week the secretary of state, mike pom
