korea would not be safe for anyone. tourists or native alike. with the assistance of united states military advisers, the republic of korea army has been built into one of the most efficient, highly trained forces in the world, with 600,000 men. it is also the third-largest in the non-communist world. although armed with the latest equipment available, the ancient and traditional korean battle schools are not forgotten. these soldiers are practicing taekwondo. it is the korean version of karate and is just as deadly. it has been used in battle before and many believe it creates self-assured and tough troops. perhaps the most impressive sign of a nation coming of age was reached on september 25, 1965, when, for the first time in history of the nation, they involuntarily sent soldiers abroad to fight in a foreign war, the war in vietnam. the tiger and white horse divisions have by bravely and earned the respect of free men everywhere. [gunshots and explosions] about 10,000 soldiers serve in a special capacity with the u.s. army. they are korean augmentation to u.s. army soldiers. they work, live, and train alongside u.s. soldiers. their history dat

i nuclear attack on either the republic of korea or japan would kill lots of americans.so an icbm reaching los angeles would kill more americans, but we are already subject to north korean nuclear threats equally, that many of our citizens bearing equal exposure and vulnerability as our japanese and korean allies. and i think that is one of the strongest parts of the deterrent equation that exists. >> it's a provocative question but it is a good discussion. yes, in the front. >> thank you for coming. i am japan native, u.s. citizen. i have a couple questions. >> can you, to max? >> yeah. >> thanks. >> since we have the generals here, how can we defend soul? are we ready to defend? because it doesn't take nuclear weapons to destroy seoul. more importantly, how can we defend okinawa where there's a bunch of u.s. basis of there? how can we do that? a military equation. thanks. >> and the mic to that guy right there, three seats over. general sharp. >> so the defense of seoul counts upon the combined forces of the republic of korea and the united states, and what korea has a

it is for this reason that the republic of korea supports and fully adopts resolution 2371. we would like to thank the united states for its leadership and commitment, as well as all other members of the council, including china, for their spirit of cooperation. resolution 2371 introduces robust measures that would cut off the inflow of hard currency to the dprk. we believe that these measures will significantly contribute to curbing the dprk's ability to further develop its nuclear -- wmd-related activities. by unanimously adopting this resolution today, the security council has once again demonstrated that the international community will remain strongly united in its commitment to stop the dprk's reckless and destabilizing behavior. in order to pressure the dprk to change its course, fully >> in order to pressure the dprk to change its course, fully implementing the resolution is as important as anything else. the republic of korea remains committed to supporting other member states in their effort to fully and effectively implement these resolutions, including the resolut

of that money, that put pressure on north korea. we are having a lot of success with that. you are asking the earlier about the republic of korea and our relationship with them. they took steps, japan took steps. we have seen lots of countries take steps with their own sanctions, or to use our campaign as a jumping off point. that is what i mean by pressure campaign. >> my question concerns the jcpo , the nuclear deal with iran. the administration has been clear about tryingo, the adminis been clear about trying to renegotiate the nuclear deal. perception onthe the position of the united states that it ought to be scrapped? heather: we have not said that. calls forent contribute to national sick -- international peace and security. that.are some gaps in that is a concern of ours because it does not take into account the destabilizing activities of iran. of the work that they are doing in that region of the world to cause additional unrest, killings, attacks and things of this nature. i'm not going to debate you. thatu want to talk about more another time, i am happy to. sorry, go ahead. >> on iraq and iran -- heather:

the president needs to press hard for the republic of korea to bring as much battery and insistence asbly do. return the tactical nukes to the republic of korea when all of this started with kim jong un's dad. third, the play much more long-range strike aircraft to guam and okinawa. yes, that will cost. we're dusting off our target list. additional isr. other kinds of assets. finally, pray that the chinese are paying attention because if they are not, a catastrophe of the president is talking about is going to happen. >> sean: and how they can die, colonel, in a worst-case scenario? and do you see any of these options is particularly good? >> as the speaker and ambassador pointed out, the idea that you've got literally thousands of artillery shells aimed at the capital of south korea, you're potentially talking hundreds of thousands, if not millions of casualties. if a nuclear weapon goes off in the united states or over the united states, it will be catastrophic. if you thought the great depression was bad, wait till you see what happens because of that.ç >> sean: all right, colonel.

koreans know there is a problem or a shortfall in intelligence gathering towards north korea to the surroundings of the republic of korea. what are we doing about this? according to open sources korea is endeavoring to get new satellites. global hawk is being purchased through the united states. we are getting new uavs and all of this. still, despite the emphasis i feel that there are things we could do more on the intelligence and information side and especially i think we can all recognize the fact that the north koreans have a very robust cyber capability that even decided there was their nuclear weapons that they might have, they threaten us right now because they can theoretically wipe out all of our bank accounts if they wished. so, in the intelligence and information area from a green to black i would say-- i won't say it's red, but it isn't green either. for chung, leadership, korea like a lot of militaries has been going through a lot of criticism against its military leaders. there are 200 countries in the world and from where i see it korea is not that bad. i mean, we are not 200 and not because i'm

of respect is really low in korea. how can you raise the level of respect that civil society can ay in the republic of korea? >> andrew, you asked a two-part question. one is the duration of service in the military. and the other part was gaining respect from the general public. i think for your direct question that it is upon the military eaders to be better leaders. and so confucius thinking, misunderstood, things that age and senior gives you privileges. but it's not that -- not -- it's not like that at all. ,espect should always be earned and so korean society as well as korean military because this is not just a military problem. we see this in korea in middle schools and high schools and college -- in all aspects of korean life. you need to understand that you need to gain and earn the respect of your people. and so the korean military has one a great deal to do that. we still have problems. and we see a lot of that in the newspapers. and we see a lot of that in the newspapers not because we have more problems, but we are an open society where we don't lie to our people. and it's going to take a little

multilateral security and defense cooperation with other partners in the region, notably the republic of korea, australia, india, and other southeast asian countries. we also discussed our concern about the security environment in the east china sea and south china sea. the united states and japan oppose any unilateral action that seeks to undermine japan's administration of the islands and we reaffirm article five of the u.s.-japan security treaty that covers these islands. we also oppose militarization activity in the south china sea. maritime disputes should be settled peacefully and maintain the freedom of navigation in accordance with the united nations conventions on the law of the sea. we maintain our unwavering commitment to the 2015 guidelines for u.s.-japan defense cooperation and we have instructed our staff to accelerate their implementation. we also will explore new and expanded activities and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, training and exercises, research and development, capacity building and joint and shared use of facilities. we discussed our deterrence to ens

war breaks out on the korean peninsula, the consequences will not be limited to dprk or the republic of korea issuing a joint statement calling for no reckless action to be taking place at china's doorstep or russia's doorstep. the chinese government is engaging with major countries, including germany, for example, to present the case about peaceful ago she asian and about opposition to war, and i think it will take all these major countries together to stop the possibility of warand to together to stop the possibility of war and to pave the way for negotiation, leading towards denuclearisation. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the partition that should have been peaceful. we hear from two eyewitnesses on the violence in india's second largest city that changed the course of history. also on the programme: one more shot as 007. daniel craig confirms he'll be back as james bond. idid i did have a relationship that was not appropriate. in south africa 97 people have been killed in one of the worst days of violence between rival groups. 500 have died in the las

what he needs to do, the president needs to do, press hard for president moon and the republic of korea to bring as many thaad missile systems and even presenting israel in. return the tactical nukes to the republic of korea that we with drew in the 90s. number 3, deploy another carrier strike group in addition to the reagan and more than one long air strike task group. these are visable activities that will get the attention of if not xi, but pyongyang. how about asking xi to base some sarad units. number 4, deploy the u.s.s. mercy and the u.s.s. naval ship comfort from japan. it shows we're serious. disoff the target lists. in other words, additional intelligence and reconnaissance assets and deliver biological chemical weapons equipment. and hopefully xi sees the light. >> harris: when you talk about dusting off the target list, this is now -- this is something that you can put into play. like you have just listed the things and it became clear, you saw me looking down, taking notes there. our -- the two countries that got on board, russia and china will know the meaning of these thi

of exactly what you suggest, that is, a reunified korea forcefully reunified by the way and imploding violently imploding north koreaing with millions of north korean refugees pouring into china and having the republic of korea buttressed by the united states right on their border, that is even more unacceptable to the chinese. and just as the chinese vote ford u.n. security council resolution 2270 in 2016, so do they vote for this one. the issue is will they enforce them. their enforcement of security council resolution 2270 was shall i say uneven. it will be a real test now to see whether the chinese enforce this most recent security council resolution. >> and just family, i mean, i'm sure you've looked at this and seen the war games and how this all plays out. again, not to ratchet up rhetoric or scare tactics in any way but just you mentioned it a little bit. i mean, seoul, south korea is quite close to the north. just the impact of a regional conflict military conflict, using whatever weapons that north korea has to south korea to japan, what are we talking about in terms of the scope? >> you're talking about incomprehensible death and destruction. it would be a violent and just a terrible trag

in fact, the president's message based on the intelligence that the democratic people's republic of koreans of delivering it on our homeland is an existential threat and his remarks were spot on. here's why, the threats posed by pyongyang are far more seriousus than what kennedy faced in theak cuban missile crisis. the soviets wanted to survivecua the experience.surv that's why mutually assured destruction work. i listened very carefully to ambassador bolton and newt gingrich. i don't want to read the jeremiad because i've always said that military force ought to be the last option. but the soviets were all alone in their threats. cuba was ussr's only ally and castro was useless. the obama administration's malign neglect of thenucl north korean iranianç connectin in building nuclear weapons and the means of delivery has allowed kim jong-un, ruler of one of theac poorestqu nations n earth to rapidly acquire the means of striking the u.s. that's why he's talking the way he is. he has doubt as to whether we will do it. i have considerable doubt as to whether the leaders in north korea or te

intelligence so the south koreans know there is a shortfall of intelligence gathering towards north korea and the surroundings of of republic of korea but according to sources close will talk is purchased through the united states but is still despite the emphasis there are savings we could do more and especially when you all recognize the fact the north koreans have a robust cybercapability that they threaten us right now. and then would wipe out our big accounts. so the intelligence and information area i will say it is read but it is not green. like a lot of military is going through lot of criticism there are 200 countries in the world and korea is not that bad. not because i ma korean officer but maybe with in the 50 but we're still not there yet. and then work on this issue so even though at this very moment and with those senior military leaders it has now evolved into a society to criticize and prosecute senior generals not doing their job. as a korean one of those the unrecognized influences by our american brothers and sisters but i'd like the lawyers that you have. maybe he should not say this but anyway, we're n

excavation, but one thing you should keep in mind, the us has a strong, robust alliance with the republic of korearpose of the alliances to maintain the armistice was signed in 1953. by the military at the end of the common that ended hostilities on the korean peninsula. that alliance has been successful for many years in preventing hostilities from breaking out. the us alliance is stronger than ever. more over, peace is insured by prowess on the front lines, but also the home front is important. interestingly, recentlya poll done by the chicago council for global affairs showed that the majority of americans, 62%, support the use of us forces in south korea, should south korea be attacked. let me put this to you. a couple years ago i met a military defector who had been vetted by the united nations, he seemed credible, he said that kim jong—un would never press the red button unless he had nothing to lose. what he meant by that was, if you lost the power of his country, if you lost the control of his people, and the military, do you agree with that assessment? this is actually more about home pol

is also wrapping a ramping up of violent rhetoric against the democratic people's republic of korea as well as venezuela how does this news of a global imperial reach relate to white supremacy here. well you know those are examples of the kind of right his expression that i'm referring to the bad even under barack obama bronco bamma dent if i had been as well as a threat to national security that is a right wing position they had then moved to begin to shore up to support far right elements in. the far right opposition that is responsible for even burning people alive the. current movement by the dropping ministrations who to engage in it in lives war in afghanistan is another expression of that kind of right is positioning so these are examples of what we see as the us becoming in fact is a right wing state and is the right wing state because of its commitment to the old liberalism and so the expression as we see it charlottesville the rise of the more crude right wing is merely a result of the contradiction of the old liberalism fascinating that you're alluding to is the support of t

korea is doing pretty well. that was followed the following year by the collapse of the soviet union, which then led to the economic collapse of the democratic people's republic of north korea which is been underwritten by the soviet union. a few years later, south korea had its first truly democratic elections. it appeared briefly in the early 1990's that the north korean regime might implode because of the famine, the poverty that existed, and what was perceived as possible political weakness that would occur once the founder of the regime died and he was in pretty back condition in the early 1990's. time the south koreans begin to memorialize the war. they begin planning a gigantic korean war museum. this is the outside of the museum. the theme of the museum, there are really two themes. one is peace and reconciliation with the north. the brutality of the war, the harsh treatment of south korean p.o.w.'s, as well as those in the u.n. command, the wartime atrocities. these things are all played down. the key is that koreans are all brothers. that somehow they should be united. this war was perpetrated by outside forces that instigated the north korean attac
