will ripley, you spent a lot of time in south korea as well as north. i'm curious how south koreans are reacting to this news? is this a step they would welcome as a positive move forward? >> no official comment yet from the south korean government if you look at moon jae-in's priorities, which is to keep diplomacy alive, he's been urging united states and north korea to consider changing their conditions because both sides have been digging in heels, north korea with short range missile testing. from south korean point of view, this seems like a more realistic option even if this is one the united states said they would never accept. i can tell you from being in pyongyang many times and having officials over the years many times tell me, a, they would never give up their nuclear weapons, and, b, nuclear weapons have always meant to be a deterrent to get kim to negotiating table from a position of strength. it seems as if kim would certainly be getting exactly what he wants if the united states is willing to consider this pretty dramatic shift in policy

will ripley is tracking the latest developments live. will? >> reporter: christine, this is the latest chapter in what we've seen in the selective escalations trying to get president trump's attention. back in may north korea launched a couple of short range missiles. now they've launched a couple more, what south korea believes are a new short range missile. one traveled 300 miles and one traveled 500 miles. these could carry nuclear warheads, pose a threat to tens of thousands of people in south korea. this missile test always a signal, of course, from kim jong-un comes after north korea released these photos of kim inspecting a missile capable submarine. all of this is essentially north korea trying to let the united states know what could happen if they don't get what they want, which is sanctions release sooner rather than later. the problem is in any communication has ground to a halt. working all discussions haven't resumed and the north koreans are not expected to work with mike pompeo next week. they were hoping talks would resume. >>

will ripley has been to north korea 19 times. he joins us live with the latest developments.hat have you learned? >> reporter: if you listen to president trump at the demilitarized zone when he stepped into north korea, he said this missile isn't much of a threat that can't hit the mainland u.s. south korea feels differently. these missiles launched from a place i visited before, where they often launches missiles. one of them flew more than 400 miles off the korean peninsula. and these are missiles that could potentially carry nuclear warheads putting 28,000 troops stationed there in the line of fire. this raises a question what is north korea doing right now? just a couple of days ago, they released these images of kim jong-un standing by a new larger submarine that could potentially also carry submarine-launched ballistic missiles. their capabilities seem to be growing as diplomacy hits a stand still. there are questions what is going to happen after trump and kim pledge to resume working level negotiations. but mike pompeo is not expected to meet with his counterpart next

cnn's will ripley has been to north korea 19 times. he joins us live now with more. >> reporter: alisyn we have learned in the last hour or so that south korean officials believe these were a new short-range missile that north korea was testing. one of them flew just over 400 miles, the other under 300 miles. both of them shot into the waters east of the korean peninsula. this comes after north korea released pictures of their leader kim jong-un inspecting a new submarine. the kind that could carry a ballistic missile that could be launched towards a country like the united states. this missile test similar to the one back in may, the kind of missile that poses a severe threat to tens of millions of people in south korea and 28,000 u.s. troops stationed there because it could carry a nuclear warhead. the kind of weapon that president trump when he was standing at the dmz was not too worried about because it was not an icbm. still, it shows north korea is advancing its weapons capability at the time that diplomacy has ground to a halt again. despite the photo op stepp

. >> will ripley, i want to go back to you. again, that picture, there's no question president trump wanted to picture. but that's a picture that kim jong-un is desperately wanted and is already using. and one other thing that kim desperately wants is to be a nuclear power. and if he gets both of those things from the united states, it's extraordinary. >> it certainly is. in my repeated trips to north korea. one thing officials told me time and time again is kim jong-un didn't -- it moved a mountain at the nuclear test site. this reporting the "new york times" would allow north korea to have that type of a weapon in their arsenal but promise not to produce new ones. but what the north koreans have always said was those weapons were to get them to the negotiating table from a position of strength. and arguably he's gotten that in spades meeting with president trump, xi jingping, vladimir putin. desperate to keep diplomacy with the united states alive. so there would arguably be a lot of people here in south korea accepting of th

cnn's will ripley has been to north korea 19 times.g us now live from seoul, south korea. will, put this trip into perspective for us. >> reporter: well, even though north korea waited more than 12 hours to tell its own people what the rest of the world already knew about that surprise meeting at the dmz, they celebrated it basically as a huge achievement for their leader, even despite the fact that now we're hearing that president trump might be willing to make an even bigger concession. >> president trump became the first sitting u.s. president to step foot on north korean soil, he did more than make history. kim telling trump through a translator, i never expected to meet you in this place. many experts call sunday's milestone a stunning propaganda victory for north korean leader, kim jong-un. trump seen on camera asking kim for the opportunity, lavishing praise on a man seen by many as authoritarian, even brutal, calling this moment a great honor. >> i was proud to step over the line. this could be a very historic moment. >> the st
