called war on terror, similarity between that and the cold war than world war i or world war ii or korea. >> what are the lessons, how do they apply? >> one lesson seems to me is that we have to recognize it's not going to be one with bullets, it's going to be won in a competition of ideas, an effort not simply by the department of defense or people with weapons. but by all elements of national power. finding ways to get that battle to be fought within the muslim faith. the overwhelming majority of the people who are muslims in the world are not going to learn how to strap on suicide vests and kill people. and they are not determined to re-establish a talifat and end the notion of nation states. they are people who are practicing their religion. but a small minority in there is. and the likelihood of non-muslims to be able to persuade that group of extremists not to be extreme and to live within the nation state concept that our world has, seems to me is small. i don't think we're going to win that from the outside of that faith. i think we have to find ways to support people in that fai

the officials say north korea may have failed to launch the missile or the heat reaction may have been misdetected. abc news in the u.s. quoted government officials who said 90 seconds after the launch the rocket exploded and fell into the ocean. now people along what would have been the flight path are keeping their eyes on the sky once again. south korea's peninsula was one of the first points along that path. nhk world's anna jung is there. anna? >> reporter: south korea's defense ministry held a press conference. officials there confirmed that the north has launched a missile. >> reporter: the spokesperson says south korean and u.s. military analysts are looking into what happened. president lee myung-bak is convening a meeting of senior ministers at this hour. they are expected to discuss what to do about the launch. experts had calculated the first booster would drop into the ocean about 130 kilometers off the coast here, but we have not seen anything yet. ships in this port have refrained from going to fish in outer sea following down officials' advice. aircraft and ships are be

countries like japan or germany or korea or france, they are reducing their market share in american imports. but mexico is winning market share because we are passing from almost 70% in '93 to almost 12% in 2011. and with that it's clear we are not only increasing our export but we are increasing the proportion of mexican products here in the united states. but this is not one-way story. it is not only mexican export to the united states. it is also american products going to mexico. and that is the success of nafta's story. and that implies that a lot of mexican jobs -- a lot of american jobs, i'm sorry, depends on mexican imports. actually, mexico is the second largest buyer of american products. we love american products. i received this beautiful document enhaensing the u.s.-mexico economic partnership. it's a report of the partnership. if you have time to review, you can see on the last page this beautiful map about the united states of america. for each one you can observe the size of the export of that specific states and the number of american jobs that depends on the export

or just north korea. this is an insane policy. i remember debating this 20 years ago and it's happened now and it hasn't done any good. giving them all of this money has provided them the resources they need to spend $850 million on a rocket launch. this is something that we -- i think we need to, again, have reality checks when we go into debates on such policies as these. i would like to ask about the chinese here. do any of you have evidence that that rocket that was going up had important chinese components on that rocket? and in their nuclear system that they've been building, their weapons system, are there not chinese components to that are vital to the success of those projects? whoever knows anything about it. >> several of us have had clearances over the years and there's only so much we know and so much we can say. but we do know, and i think it's a matter of public record the north koreans have put together their missile program, uranium enrichment program, their rereprocessing by purchasing chemical precursors, highly

in case you're wondering, or korea. but i did make it to vietnam a couple times. but so much for that. but before that i spent a tour in germany. i was a young lieutenant, right out of ocs and our assignment is what we referred to as the folding app. that's where the tanks were going to come, and that was where we as members of the 8th division were going to be to meet them. we spent half of our -- for four years, not continuously, but we spent probably half of our time out there preparing, maneuvers, training, and so on. and i got very interested in this guy named eisenhower, and i became one that i too liked ike. i knew a lot about him. i went to some of the places, whether it was in belgium, or wherever it was, when i had the opportunity. i was there for four years. and i continued to grow such an admiration for this great, great person. and historically him never, ever be forgotten and this memorial in his behalf is something that needs to be done and it's long overdue and it's got to be right. but coming from south central iowa and probably as the crow flies

that was always like -- since i didn't participate in world war ii or korea, that was like a movie to a kid, too. kamikaze planes. to see this. but to see it live right in front of your eyes, i mean, man. that never leaves you. >> watched the movie before vietnam growing up? >> kid, yes. black and whites. yes. all those great movies and stuff. >> yeah. >> to this day i'm -- i'm a historian in the sense that i love documentaries. you know. i like -- i like watching anything real. i won't watch a fiction movie. you know. i like the documentaries, history channel, stuff like that. but -- yeah. but when it happens in front of your face, you take a snapshot of it in your brain. it is with you for life. you never forget it.youray overe creekbed. >> yeah. >> yes. someone came by and said -- officer came over, guys came to the left. i was happy to see that. at this time now when i'm up there -- >> yeah. i didn't know at the time either. at the time all hi seen guys killed and wounded and everything, you actually thought we were the last guys alive. me and -- buddies over in the jungle there o

korea. and the iran connection bears careful watching. so the north is clearly heading towards a nuclear weapons capability. our evidents have hardly slowed or deterred them from that path. what do we do? the president's statement from the security council had the right tone, some of the right content, was necessary but far from sufficient. it is said north korea will not negotiate under pressure. but the historical pattern is north korea will not negotiate unless there is pressure. and the pressure is sufficient to have an effect on their behavior. the resolutions and sanctions are not being implemented. north korean companies are trading in china that are on the sanctions list. although the administration effectively mobilized japanese and korean defense cooperation after north korean attacks, we have backed off. i also think we to consider the signal it sends as we cut defense spending in the united states and move away from capability to manage two regional conflicts. the korean people's army in north korea has for years said our ability to do two front wars will be one of their important considerations as they seek to liberate, quote, u

it accuses south korea's president lee mun bak of disrespecting north korea but gave no details of the insult or planned action. north korea criticized a south korean group last week for destroys a photo of kim jong-un. the country's leaders staged a rally. south korea's defense ministry said there was no evidence of unusual military action in north korea. the south korean government has expressed concern but maintains the north is trying to divert attention from the country's failed missile launch. nhk's correspondent in beijing says north korea's leadership is attempting to consolidate support for kim jong-un. the correspondent also says the north wants to boost national unity ahead of wednesday's 80th anniversary of the korean people's army. >>> u.s. state department spokesperson victoria nuland criticized north korea for making the threats. >> the dprk needs to understand it's not going to achieve anything but further isolation and pressure by threats, by launches, by any of this. we called on the new north korean leadership to change course, instead put their effort into moving their countr

today whether succession from the old kim to the young kim has really changed anything in north korea or is it merely an old kim an a and -- in a new uniform. further, there is the pressing issue how we should respond to future provocation, including another nuclear test. we also wish to examine how we should go forward on the simmer nuclear crisis, a rogue state with nuclear weapons working on nuclear capability and engaged in murky activities with opponents of the united states with the middle east and south asia. the young general at the military parade gave every indication trouble lies just ahead with nhk. dressed in a dark mou suit, he viewed tanks as missiles and goose stepping troops as they paraded through the capital in celebration of the 100th anniversary of his grandfather's birth. in his first public remarks since assuming power, the young kim bombastically warned the days of enemies threatening and blackmailing us with nuclear weapons are forever over. the new kim looks and acts suspiciously very much like the old kim. here is a brief video clip that will just take us a few

>> north korea's launching more-or-less the same one launched in 2009, so north korea is using the proven technology. but then the missile flew more than 3,000 kilometers, however, in the past three flight tests north korea has never succeeded in launching what they call a satellite. so the missile launch is likely to succeed but what they call a satellite might not be put into orbit. anyway, this is their fourth attempt. we will wait and see what happens. >> the ruling party has secured a majority in the general election in south korea. the victory for the party is a major boost fand she is expecte to run next year. they took 152 out of the 300 seats in parliament. the democratic united party took 127. the ruling party lost ten seats, but it will maintain its hold on parliament with a single party majority. party members struggled in an election that was seen as a referendum on the rule of lee mumback. the gap between rich and poor only got wider. back said she ooh on voters seemed to agree with what she had to say. the opposition failed to an capitalize on the dissatisfaction. the resul

it's hard to argue that north korea or that iran is more responsible than north korea. and yet the bush administration is willing to accept north korea getting nuclear weapons. so why are we now -- where were the warmongers when this was going on under is bush administration? why were we willing to accept north korea getting nuclear weapons and not iran? obviously, one of the elements here, the key element, is is israel. and i think they are putting president obama in an extremely difficult position, it's an election year, nobody's mentioned this, but -- and the idea that if we attack, everybody knows that gas prices are going to skyrocket and it's one of the issues that will is costing. you're putting him in an extremely difficult position. >> matt? >> i guess the first thing i would say is i think some people think that we're worried about iran's nuclear program somehow as a favor to israel, and i think that's the wrong way to look at it. i think the united states has good reason to be threatened by iran's nuclear program even if israel didn't exist. president obama s

are serious and totally unacceptable. >> the statement warns of further action if north korea conducts anotheraunch or a nuclear test. >>> north korea says it will continue to develop its satellite technology. it said the rocket launch on friday is the first of a five-year space program. the online version quoted the comments by the north korean committee of space technology on monday. the pro-pyongyang general association of korean residents in japan produces the publication. it said the rocket launch was to boost north korea's economy by developing its space program. it added that the committee has already begun developing the next satellite and the rocket to carry it on grander scale. >>> that wraps up this edition of "newsline." i'm catherine kobayashi in tokyo. thanks for joining us.

a gesture of warning towards north korea if it indeed is a policy change. it a gesture, or does it mark a change in policy on china's behalf? if it does mark a change in policy, that would be a big deal for the relations between china and north korea. >> lucy in seoul. eight years ago greece was at the center of sporting excellent. that seems a long time ago now. >> it does because the greek athletic federation has suspended all domestic sporting activities saying there is is no money to pay coaching or staff. there are fears that unless budget cuts are reversed, participation in the lyndon olympics could be at risk. here is our report from athens. >> sports facilities worn and in disrepair. training grounds without heating. this is yet another face of greece's financial crisis. as recession and austerity bite ever deeper here, sportsmen are feeling the effect. now the athletics federation has hit back. a unanimous decision from its board that all domestic sporting activities will be halted until its budget crisis is resolved. >> everything is falling apart. unfortunately,

international and american consternation because although no one particularly cares about whether or not north korea has communication satellites, there are a lot of countries that care about whether or not north korea has a long-range intercontinental missile that could theoretically be capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to, say, us. north korea's military dictatorship denied any military purpose whatsoever for this rocket. but that was met internationally with something like skepticism but far more intense. now, though, the major news here. now that there has been a launch, it's technical. the major news here is that the launch appears to have failed. instead of the rocket going up in three stages with each one burning off in turn and propelling the rocket upward eventually into orbit, which is how a three-stage rocket is supposed to work, this one just launched in north korea appears to have broken apart very soon after takeoff. the rocket fell into the sea very shortly after liftoff. north korea has made other attempts at launching rockets. it tried in 2006, again in 2009. the 2009 one cras

story i will be reading from, just hours after the united states warned that north korea would achieve nothing with threats or provocations pyongyang moved a rocket to a launch pad monday. now, north korea's threat of a missile launch can only be an effort to test perhaps ahead of deployment an intercontinental ballistic missile that would have capability of reaching the united states. secretary gates said as he was leaving one of his concerns was the rising threat of north korea that it could in fact get to the point where it could threaten mainland united states. we also know if it is of course nuclear weapons program that makes the missile program that much more of a concern. also monday news broke of the president having a conversation with an open mic where the president says to medvedev on all of these issues and particularly missile defense, this can be solved but it is important to give me space, this is the president speaking. medvedev says i understand your message about space, meaning space for you, our president, and obama says this is my last election. after my election i have more flexibility, a

i'm not that concerned right now that north korea is going to precipitously shoot a or detonate a nuclear weapon. there is no incentive for them to do so at this particular time. they know if they did something like that, that they would be destroyed and that there would be retaliation. so i'm not so much concerned about that. i am concerned right now as to what you were pointing out what north korea and this leadership is capable of and what the possibilities are. so we're just going to have to see what happens and how relations between the united states and north korea and the international community move forward in the coming months. that's something to watch. i think the main thing to be careful of and to think about and concentrate on is how to stop north korea from conducting a third nuclear test. i'm not sure it's going to be possible but it's something we need to be focusing on. >> shepard: philip yun stay with us. thank you. there is breaking news now on fox news channel. was this rocket launch test successful? we said we would know within 15 minutes, and i believe we have an ans
