president trump steps up his warnings to north korea as he spells out the consequences of any plans to attack. they should be very, very nervous. i'll tell you what. and they should be very nervous. because things will happen to them like they never thought possible. supermarkets withdraw some products after 700,000 potentially contaminated eggs get into the british food chain. badly injured in the manchester bombing, the couple who've spent more than two months in hospital. we hear their story. and no fairytale ending for botswana's star sprinter — as he finishes short of the mark in the 200m final. he made it to the 200 metres final despite illness. coming up in sportsday, we'll have a full round—up from the world athletics championships including battery and a johnson—thompson in the highjump. —— including katarina johnson—thompson in the highjump. good evening. slavery, trafficking and sexual exploitation can be found in every major city across the uk and the scale of the crime is much higher than previously thought. that's the warning from the national crime agency. it says the nu

north korea is spelling out a potential battle plan against the united states. the regime says it will be ready to fire four missiles toward guam later this month. the north korean general in charge also mocked president trump's angry vow in response to new threats. >> the attorney general called it a load of nonsense and said it can only g bereft of reason. david martin at the pentagon. david, good morning. >> good morning. it is no longer possible to dismiss as peer bluster the attack on american cities and military bases and this latest threat from the regime was very specific. sometime mid-august, north korea says, it's planning to simultaneously launch four rockets over the island of guam into the ocean, 30 to 40 kilometers outside the u.s. air base on guam. they said it would be sent as a warning after approval from kim jong-un. secretary-general james mattis said further action by north korea could, quote, mean the end of the a submarine by itself can carry 200 warheads. north korea is estimated to have at most several dozen nuclear weapons. when "60 minu

and it is part of an island chain located 2100 miles from north korea, and it is home to the spelling anderson air force base and the naval base of grommet. it is 210 square miles with 162,000 people, and 6000 us troops. and residents are united states citizens who cannot vote in presidential elections. stay with us, as the romans break we will bring you the latest on the air and online. >>> and the latest effort to retract a huge crane that collapsed onto a home in a neighborhood in campbell. right now, crews are still working to remove it without causing further damage. a crane operator was replacing power poles. our reporter has more information from campbell, and they are making progress tonight. >> some good news, in the last few minutes they did manage to retract that crane. behind me they have the other cranes still trying to support what remains of it. this was a very long process. they were trying - - they were trying to retract this manually all while under the watch of investigators. >> they are thin instead of having electronics do this. they are doing everything manually

but this message feels different because it technically spells out north korea's capabilities to launch missiles that they've tested quite frequently. they launched a barrage of intermediate range missiles, especially last year. this is a missile that they are perfecting, that they are getting better at, that they feel they can really target it. they feel that they can -- that it can hit a target fairly accurately. and again, the sigh mull tan ious launch significant because it could theoretically have the potential to overwhelm missile defense systems. >> stand by, will. you're in beijing. i want to go to the pentagon, our pentagon correspondent barbara starr is watching all of this unfold. barbara, i always assume following the president's tough statement yesterday, there would be a tough response from the north koreans. and this statement released by general kim rock yum commander of the strategic force of the north korean people's army is very, very specific, very detailed, and extremely threatening. >> reporter: it is, would have. i'm with will on this. the fact that they're saying

to the stage where north korea will talk, and the precondition, if you like, has always been that north korea should give up its nuclear missiles. but indeed, rex tillerson didn't spell out those preconditions today in some respects he contempt the door open. so this crisis will go on. north korea, though, absolutely determined and defiant as usual that it lp not buj on its nuclear program. ali. >> all right. bill thanks very much for a great set up for this. he is in the southern philippines for us. when you're talking about sanctions there's one person who knows this topic better than anyone. i want to bring in nbc news national security analyst david cohen and under secretary of the treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence in the obama administration. how do you get to the point where north korea will talk? north korea says we're not talking if anything to do with our nuclear military capability is on the table. we're not talking about regime change. scenario where do you go from here? >> well, what you need to do from here is to capitalize on this very strong security council resolution. as you reported, this has a really significant economic impact on n

he goes on to say, north korea will be grossly overmatched and would lose any conflict it initiates. this is the u.s. defense secretary spelling out what the u.s. can do to north korea. >> very strong words from the u.s. defense secretary, barbara starr at the pentagon. thanks very much. north korea has threatened to hit guam. so what kind of response are you seeing there, how are the folks, about 162,000 people live on guam, all u.s. citizens? >> reporter: i just landed here less than two hours ago, and believe it or not, i flew from south korea, on a plane that was full of korean tourists coming here. the hotels, most of them are completely fully booked. it was hard for us to get a hotel room here. so the tourism industry is clearly still functioning right now. there was some gallows humor from customs officers at the airport, hey, are we going to get attacked? officials statements have come up, and i should just add, there are no signs that i have seen of panic or preparations by the population here for any possible conflict. then you've got a statement from the governor of guam, who said that there is no new threat to this

secretary, first of all, your reaction to this response from north korea simply referencing the president's comments yesterday spell out a strike near guam. >> i think it's an example of ad-lib at your peril. when you talk without going through your team so everyone knows exactly what will be said, then you run the risk like we saw yesterday the president indicating that a mere threat would be moat with a very overa overwhelmi overwhelming response. let's see if diplomacy can't work, secretary tillerson said. secretary mad is made the statement i think should have been made by president trump. that is to say that you're playing with fire. you're escalating the danger in the korean peninsula, the entire region and if you take any action, as opposed to threats, if you take any action they'll be met with a response that will probably end your regime. i have made statements to that same effect and that is our policy. when you start issuing statements that if you even threaten us, we're going to destroy you, i think i've got a problem in what theory action will be. i think the north koreans have taken it as a bluff and

if north korea believes they can do that, we could very likely see an attempt to do what they spelled out in this statement because it's very unusual for north korea to go into such great detail, but we just don't know if it was a bluff and if they're just going to come out with more rhetoric or if they're actually going to take action. also noteworthy, china, there was definitely a strong message in president trump's words for china, essentially threatening action on trade if china doesn't do more to reign in north korea. here in beijing chinese officials have repeatedly warned the united states not to conflate those two issues. north korea is a strategic issue for trade, an economic issue. >> let's go to guam, the latest threat. it's also home to two u.s. military bases and thousands of american citizens. cnn's ivan watson is there. ivan, the president sought to reassure americans even as he issued another strong warning but with this very specific threat from north korea to strike the waters off the island, what is the response there in guam? >> reporter: you know, the local author

cohen, first of all, your reaction to this response now from north korea tonight, specifically referencing the president's comments yesterday spellingut a possible strike on guam. >> when you improvise without really vetting this through your national security team and have an interagency process so everyone knows what will be said, then you run the risk, as we saw yesterday, that the president made a statement indicating that a mere threat would be met with a very overwhelming, and the implication was nuclear response. that secretary tillerson had to tach do tamp down. he came out with the right statement, saying we're not in any peril at the moment. secretary mattis made a statement today that was the correction, that is to say you are playing with fire, that you're really escalating the danger in the korean peninsula area, in the entire region. and if you take any action opposed to the threat, if you take any action, it will be met with a response that will probably end your regime. now, i have made statements of that same effect. and that is our policy. but i think when you start issuing statements that if you even threaten us,
