leadership is sort of softer or you know flimsy or whatever that is all to the north koreans want a lot and they're going to hold out and they're in a pretty good position because it's very good for it's very hard for us to punish north korea otherwise it's almost a biting people come and offer something really substantial when i say substantial i mean really big i mean like withdrawing a u.s. closing he was based on calling you know u.s. air power to south korea something they are they will ask for a lot and the vibe you are going to offer that which means in 6 months or something like that the north koreans probably do something like this again you know we've seen that kind of cycle in the past and as long as you can't really hit north korea's launch can strike as long bloody nose too risky as long as you can't really you know hit them hard very much with sanctions because north korea cheats and you know a lot of north korea's economic activity doesn't go through us anyway i mean or 3 it's very hard for us to get her handle on north korea and as a result they can basically hold and th

president personally when it was donald trump the north korean leader of them that sexy quite similar to what north korea has done basically for decades and so i don't really think it's fair to suggest that it's a crisis i know also doesn't have a lot of good options and i think everybody in the world really realizes that at this point 5 can strike north korea sanctioning north korea further doesn't really do much good because we don't really trade or have many going to work or missions with north korean in any case anyway right so i think biden is confronted with something i think that that's fairly expected so again ty don't think unless the right people jim this thing up into something big i think they're probably ok if they just sort of talk to the allies and hold him as for the policy are you i imagine we'll come back the next month or so maybe you'll be accelerated now because of this and i imagine actually won't tell us anything we don't already know if you actually look at u.s. foreign policy towards north korea since the sixty's it's kind of been the same the whole time right

when the north korean attacked occurred the united states went to the united nations. and essentially because the soviet union was boycotting security council. on the day that this issue was brought up the security council made the korean war a un action. a police action of course, most of the troops were american nevertheless there were other foreign troops weeds for instance if you watched mash you've encountered a few foreigners in korea. during the korean war what happens is that truman immediately wants to defend south korea. he selects macarthur who is there on the scene basically to command the united nations forces? and this is what happens he takes over. he tries to stabilize the pusan perimeter so that the american and south koreans aren't driven off the peninsula and that is successful. and he then decides to launch a flanking attack. us to north koreans up at incheon and you can see on the map on the northwest side of south korea there. in the purple john that was deep in the in the flank of the the north korean forces, which had gone south what macarthur th

>> pamela, the north koreans launched two projectiles over the weekend from saturday into sunday.perhaps cruise missiles or even large artillery, not a new or advanced intercontinental ballistic missile. it is the first time the north koreans have carried out a weapons test under the biden administration and for that it's certainly significant as well as the timing of these actions on the part of the north koreans, that is, right after the secretary of state and defense secretary wrapped up a visit to the region hand shortly after a u.s./south korean joint military exercise. many officials and experts were expecting the north koreans to take some sort of action, some sort of weapons test around this visit and early in the biden administration because that's what they have done in the past. what was not expected was the relative silence in which this was done. no boisterous loud statements from the north koreans and crucially no response or follow-on statement from either the south koreans and japanese and that raise the questions of what was happening here. why would the north kor

path of escalation it comes as pyongyang confirmed the test of the new guided missile on thursday north korean officials say the weapon which is believed to be a ballistic missile will act as a deterrent against any military threat to test firings were the north's 1st major provocation since joe biden took office in january. we're consulting with our allies and partners and. there will be responses if they choose to escalate. we will respond accordingly but i'm also prepared. for some form of diplomacy. but it has to be conditioned upon the end result of denuclearization so. that's we're doing right now consoling their allies life that a soul until it is rob a bribe robots north korea been saying about its tests. north korea has been as you might expect heralding this as a major military success it has released through the official north korean news agency still pictures of the launch showing suitably jubilant north korean senior officials cheering one of the missiles on its way interestingly absent from the picture is the north korean leader kim jong un himself normally he is depicted watchin

and i think it's just my my sense that this is probably typical north korean testing of a new u.s. president whenever there is a new president of the united states or in south korea the 2 primary opponents of north korea the north koreans usually pull some kind of stunt some kind of provocation missile tests have become particularly a big one for them in the last few years but they've done other things as well and they were quiet as your correspondent mentioned they were wired for a while during the trial period and so the missile tests are kind of new and make a bit of a splash and have got the world attention or they got what they want face to say you know we're still here pay attention once you can sort of ignore us or bowler's yeah and the timing is interesting isn't it senior u.s. diplomats recently visiting asia to strengthen alliances and formulate policy on north korea. yeah to try to transcend some pretty weird signals about the u.s. position in asia right i mean he had gone on television and said that he was in love with the north korean dictator news friend he ran down so

so kim jong un is a man who has an awful lot on his plate at the moment we have been seeing in north korean media more visits field visits as they are known giving direction encouraging his people to redouble their efforts and also the firings of senior officials held responsible for some of the crises impacting north korea without any specific suggestions from the united states diplomacy is quite easy for the north koreans to ignore at the moment there is of course also the possibility that north korea is waiting to see just what specific suggestions what policy they will adopt towards north korea after of course the to mulch u.s. last 4 years of the trump administration well on that note rob what is the sort of state of of u.s. south korean relations these days as you say after those 4 years. that will be a big concern for people here in south korea when the secretary there come here on the one hand obviously the south korea and japan are very important allies of the united states a very important as a buttress against china but also obviously in presenting a united front to north korea t

in a statement carried by the state news agency, the sister of north korean leader, kim yojong, also h korea. earlier, the white house said north korea has so far not responded to invitations to engage in dialogue. let's get more on this from our correspondent, laura bicker, in seoul. interesting, all these comments back and forth ahead of antony blinken's arrival in seoul. yes, he is currently in tokyo. in the last few minutes he has reaffirmed the us's commitment with its allies to denuclearise north korea. that is the language they are using, which will not please the north koreans. when it comes to this warning from pyongyang and more specifically from kim yo—jong, the sister of kim jong—un, i think there are two macrame targets with her words. first of all ivy military every year when the us and south korea get together for the military drills, north korea see it as a provocation, i rehearsalfor war. sometimes that reaction comes in the form of a missile launch or a missile test. in this case the so—called war games by being reacting to win a war of words from kim yo—jong. she is

what are the north koreans saying here?> reporter: well, remember when north korea launched those cruise missiles op sunday we found out about it a couple days later and president biden was asked about it and almost appeared on camera to be laughing it off. that certainly would not have been received well by the north korean leadership. i can tell you from meeting inside that country with a number of north korean officials they want to be respected, want to be seen as equals. that was why the diplomacy with president trump was so appealing and part of the reason why kim jong-un imposed a moratorium or nuclear and missile tests. they want diplomacy with the united states only, though, if the united states is willing to withdraw what they view as hostile policies, requiring that they get rid of their nuclear weapons in exchange for sanctions relief. this is the back and forth that's been going on for some time. it will be interesting to see what president biden has to say when he hold his first press conference later in the d

>> i wouldn't be surprised if it didn't happen because one thing the north koreans know is that the -they know that there are satellites out there trained on north korea, because it's one of the only ways that we can see what's happening, and i would say that if there is some activity happening, perhaps they're also aware that they can create that threat, create that sense of tension and try to influence discussions, but i want to note that so far we haven't seen a weapons test, and that the threat is much better than a weapons test. i hope they leave it at that. that leaves some room for diplomacy and so -- and that leaves room for some possible engagement down the line with north korea. i think the -- i think kim jong un is waiting to see what president biden's policy will be, and i think he's going to -- he's going to be impatient, and so we're waiting to see will he be p
