>> brooks: survival-- >> whitaker: survival. >> brooks: --and recognition. >> whitaker: kim jong-un is now recognized as a global threat. u.s. intelligence estimates he has at least ten nuclear weapons. if the u.s. decided it had no choice but to launch a pre- emptive strike on an i.c.b.m. test site, it could trigger the unthinkable. >> brooks: if north korea uses nuclear weapons, it will be met with an effective and overwhelming response. now they can take it to the bank. we make that same point to our allies and partners, like the republic of korea and like japan. >> whitaker: effective and overwhelming response? >> brooks: effective and overwhelming response. >> whitaker: wipe north korea off the map? >> brooks: whatever overwhelms you. >> whitaker: that warning rang in our ears as we returned to seoul and met one last time with defector thae yong-ho. we asked about his brother and sister, still in north korea. what do you think has happened to them? >> thae yong-ho: they will be sent to prison camps. that is what i am absolutely

. >> whitaker: even kill you? >> thae yong-ho: of course. why not? >> whitaker: the man who could order an assassination is kim jong-un. the dictator is the third member of the kim family to rule north korea. they have controlled the impoverished country with an iron-clad fist for 70 years. this was last week's missile test. kim devotes a quarter of his like this, and his million man army, despite widespread food shortages.

whitaker that pushed me towards that. i'll be honest. i was comfortable just working and receiving a paycheck, but i do understand that there was so much more. >> charlie, let me just go to you next because you actually mentored andrew. >> yes, ma'am, and your company works primarily with returning citizens. >> so andrew came to you and tell us what happened. >> andrew is really a humble guy. andrew has a lot of skills. i really met andrew in like 2007. andrew was a case manager and we were doing work for development so when i left and started career path d.c. in 2010 andrew came over with me and just like you said he had some issues around substance abuse so he left for a while and he came back in 2012, and when he came back he was an asset to the organization so we brought andrew back in, and he began to work with the other guys around the clean and safe work that we do. through that it helped him get back on track, and i will work with him around, know, issues around when he has things going on where he may feel a little stress or thi

forest whitaker, welcome to hardtalk. it's great to be here with you.r acting career, you've been a very, very versatile actor. mainstream, popularfilms like rogue one: a star wars story, and also the great debaters, back in 2007, about black students striving for equality. mm—hm. do you like to act in any genre of films? i'm trying to continue to grow as a person, so each character is an opportunity for me to understand a different part of myself, a different part of humanity. so what happens is that i don't necessarily repeat the same roles because i'm continuing to search, to understand and deepen who i am as a person and an artist. do you believe that film can really create a dialogue and help bring about change? because you're a very committed social activist. for instance, you've been in rather gritty roles. you played a gay character in pret—a—porter. and also, in two of your films as director, which are waiting to exhale and hope floats, you dealt with issues such as divorce, abandonment, adultery, that kind of thing. i mean, i think that we hop

sunday on "60 minutes," bill whitaker took a closer look at the isolated country. the highest ranking north korean official to defect in decades. >> so for six months, and to be honest, i was never public until now. >> reporter: we went for an evening out in seoul with north korea's former deputy ambassador in london before he defected in august. the first time on the subway? >> yes, that's right. >> reporter: a defection by someone of his rank is extre this is the first time he had walked about in public. just off camera, six bodyguards watched his every move as we made our way down one of the busiest shopping streets in asia. north korea has assassinated defectors in seoul. >> to prevent more possible defections from north korea, i think kim jong-un made do anything. >> even kill you? >> of course. why not? >> reporter: the man who could order an assassination is kim jong-un, the dictator is the third member of the kim family to rule north korea. they have controlled the impoverished country with an iron clad fist for 70 years. this was last week's missile test.

i had the privilege of working with for rest whitaker on a film i did called "last king of scotland"s my favorite actor of all time in lincoln, and those guys stayed in character the whole time, which i thought was a little indulgent, to be perfectly honest, especially in the case of for rest whitaker, by the way. he was playing a d ugandan dictator. ( laughter ) i remember in the hotel in uganda where we shot it, a very young actor at the time said, hi, fo forrest! ( growling ) ( laughter ) but you can't deny the results. >> stephen: so you were in character all the time? on and off set? >> yeah, well, we shot a lot of it in atlanta, and if you're going to play dr. king in atlanta where he's from, going around saying, hi, i'm david and playing dr. king, doesn't engender much confidence. so i decided to stay in character. >> stephen: like in starbucks -- i have a dream of a cinnamon chip scone! give it to me now! got to get to the mountain top, please. ( laughter ) really, didn't cause any trouble? >> well, it was distressing for my wife, shall we say. not only did she have to deal w

but duke ellington is very much like forest whitaker's character in the sense he says let's work withm, the system will work with us if we're just patient. and then for his part when in 1969 president nixon, for all the kind of backtreading or backpedaling that the nixon administration did on civil rights issues, nixon himself was a musician and a fan of jazz. and so nixon realized that duke ellington had been the foremost ambassador out of all these guys. and duke ellington deserved this highest award that a civilian in the united states can win, this presidential medal of freedom. and so for duke ellington standing there with the president receiving this award that was validation of years and years and decades really of work both as a musician but also as an african-american man working for equal rights and for civil rights. so that's how he perceived this. you know, willing to work with an official established chain. not willing to speak out radically against the united states and to be -- and to upend the system but to work within the channels he was given. so that's one way of th
