response should the united states continue to push for tougher sanctions through the united nations security council so as james mentioned we seem to be stuck in this seemingly endless cycle of provocation condemnation and really there is no sign of either side the united states and south korea combined or north korea backing down from their stated positions we're in for now thanks very much indeed let's talk to adrian brown he's dong on china's border with north korea and adrian it seems as though the key to all of this is how china is going to support these sanctions. yes once more the burden of sanctions falls on china's shoulders of course in the past there have been accusations of china backsliding not doing enough to enforce sanctions against north korea because china's role is so key it accounts for the bulk of north korea's trade and most of that trade passes through the same. dandong now on monday it was very much business as usual empty trucks were coming across the border into china from north korea those trucks were returning fully laden we managed to look inside the customs yard here in

but countries like china and russia have veto power the united nations security council and whatever sanctions that may be approved by the united nations security council are conditional as to whether china and russia other permanent members states of the security council of the united nations will or will not approve. and finally big do you think that north korea's rhetoric at the moment will be thought of reined in after the last couple of days in the sort of general widespread condemnation they've received for their actions. no i think as far as d.p. r. k. is because what really matters eventually is whatever they need to do to give up their nuclear weapons program because for d.p. arcade to possess and to threaten to use nuclear weapons against any country in the world is the wrong thing to do and eventually it's not in the fundamental interest of the korean people or the korean government or d.p. r. k. makes up its mind to seek peace and give up its nuclear weapons program the better it will be for d p r k government for the north korean people and for regional peace and

united nations security council resolutions, including the most recent unanimous sanctions resolution, represent the floor, not the ceiling, of the actions we should take. we call on all nations to take new measures against the kim regime, china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches by taking direct actions of their own. putting the onus right again on china and russia to try and pressure them to pressure north korea. but look, the bottom line remains unchanged, it does not appear at this point that there is any real deterrence action to kim that is going to make him back off this program. he is well aware that the united states is leery of military action out of concern north korea, if the u.s. took action, would immediately launch a counter attack against the south. he knows that. but the u.s. really trying to make kim understand he could not survive if he were to attack the u.s. john, poppy? >> barbara starr at the pentagon for us as secretary tillerson is speaking live, barbara, thank you. let's discuss all of this. david is here, cnn globa

the united nations security council has spoken with unusual unity and consistency on north korea. that's a good thing. along the way, there have been problems with implementation. and the council has at times been too slow and too weak, but this is not a situation in which we have allowed divisions among us to stop any action. still, here we are. despite our efforts over the past 24 years, the north korean nuclear program is more advanced and more dangerous than ever. they now fire missiles over japanese hair space. they now have icbm capabilities. they now claim to have tested a hydrogen bomb and just this morning there are reports that the regime is preparing for yet another icbm launch. to the members of the security council, i must say, enough is enough. we have taken an incremental approach and despite the best of intentions, it has not worked. members of this council will no doubt urge negotiations and a return to talks. but as i have just outlined, we have engaged in numerous, direct and multi-lateral talks with the north korean regime. and time after time, they have not wor

the united nations security council has again condemned north korea for carrying out what it called an friday. however, there was no mention in the un statement of any further sanctions. the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has announced that his country's nuclear programmes will continue, despite sanctions, in order to have an "equilibrium" with the united states. bill hayton reports. north korea is celebrating, another successful test for its hwasong—i2 ballistic missile, and kim jong—un was there to congratulate the scientists. he told them it was his aim to establish a "balance of force" with the united states, so it cannot threaten his country with military action. but on a visit to an airbase near washington, president trump said the us would never be intimidated. after seeing your capabilities and commitment here today, i am more confident than ever that our options in addressing this threat are both effective and overwhelming. in new york, the un security council discussed the situation for the second time this week. this time, there was no new resolution, only a press statem

way as some people suggest we are doing what you and the united nations have asked us to do we are complying with united nations security council resolutions and doing our best to try to make north korea see reason but of course the issue now is how will north korea respond to what china has done given that the two countries are supposed to be friends and allies as kathy pointed out just a few moments ago there are a number of big anniversaries coming up here and of course in november the president of the united states could be here in china and for the first time he'll be within missile range and we will have him here side by side with president xi jinping so yes it's fair to assume the north will almost certainly carry out another test of some sort to demonstrate its annoyance with what china has done adrian brown reporting live there from beijing thank you a.j. . to spain now and pro and anti separatist campaigners are holding their last rallies in the run up to sunday's independence vote in the spanish in the region of catalonia as long as regional government insists their vote will go ahead despite the spanish government a
