and south korea. do you worry about those individuals if there is a primitive strike and immediate reaction by north korea? caller: of course, but i think the military has to have some sort of plan where once the attack begins they can just devastate the artillery pieces there. obviously, there is going to be a loss of life. assemble all the strategic pieces we need in the region and the theater, and that is to take time. these people have to start preparing because this is just getting ridiculous. this guy is defying the entire international community. you can imagine how he is going to act once he has everything in place. terrible useo make of these weapons. host: i am going to stop you there. we are getting word for the white house that the president has been briefed on the situation. he had a phone call yesterday with prime minister abe of japan. spending much of the day yesterday in houston and along the louisiana coast. we are spending the first hour getting your reaction to north korea and how

the main competitor is south korea. free, democratic, prosperous, republic of korea. as preposterous as this may sound, this regime understands that the only long-term guarantee of its own survival is to establish transport over the entire korean peninsula. have we seen any positive developments in recent years for the past two decades? basically, during the days of -- the kim regime the monetized the regime by replacing money as a means of exchange with russians. during the days of the great famine the regime was no longer able to feed its people with the public distribution system. small markets were established so ever since for the past two decades, we have seen a process of informal marketization in north korea. there are farmers markets, lack markets, open markets, many more people depend on the markets today than they do on the public distribution system which is still active for those living in the capital city. those elites, most of north korea's elites live in the capital city. you will see pictures of buildings actually constructed on kim jong-un's watch. t

all trade with north korea. this grave nuclear risk demands it. sanctions are not the only way to apply pressure on the regime. we must maintain a united front with our allies. i just returned from south korea where people are on edge. we were there when the missile was launched over japan. it doesn't matter if you're talking to government officials there or the business community or the average person on the street, they all understand the threat so i'm pleased that the t.h.a.a.d. missile defense system has been fully deployed. i'm also pleased that the administration is strengthening regional deterrence through additional u.s. arms sales to japan and south korea, which we discussed this morning. time bely, we need to do much better at getting information into north korea so north koreans can better understand the brutality and corruption of the self-serving kim regime. and these efforts are already pressuring the regime creating some unrest, increasing defections from north korea, but i'm afraid here our effor

south korea and china are condemning north korea's test. joining us now by phone is nbc's reporter, courtney cue by. good morning are any of your sources confirming whether or not this was a nuclear test. >> no. . u.s. military and government officials are still assessing what this was exactly and not confirming anything. it's not uncommon for south korea and japan to be out ahead of the u.s. on assessments, even assessments on ballistic missiles we've seen that with the icbm test just last week where they get out ahead get specific details before the u.s. military and government confirm something has happened. so at this point the u.s. is trying to figure out what did happen whether this was some sort of underground test. what we tend to see in situations like this is the u.s. will send up a wc 135 aircraft called a constant phoenix, it's generally called a sniffer plane. it goes up and tests at mmosphe conditions. it'll gather isotopes if this was a nuclear test. and the aircraft, assuming it gets there quickly enough, it should be able t

we should not be talking about south korea without south korea. we need to keep our south korean allies in that process. "we the chinese might say hear your assurances about troops, listening posts, what about just the perception that our public would have that you win and we lose? after all this affects the internal politics of china." these things are serious issues. china is a big country, there is not a consensus on anything in china. people have a different point of view. we need to be able to work with the chinese and understand them better. this means clearing the decks, this means all hands on deck. the 100t address different items that we have on the agenda with china, we have to pick some priorities. i would submit that north korea is one of them. i don't think any country can live with a nuclear -- a country aiming nuclear weapons at it. for the united states, this would be the first such country to do so in many decades. finally, this is a kind of gray area, there isn't space between peace and war. the idea that somehow we should strik

this is north korea. korea that has sold nuclear technology to countries like syria. north koreans -- we have seen it with the missile transfers to iran, libya, syria. this is to make money. this is what keeps their program going, getting the revenue necessary so that is why i'm a believer in sanctions. sanctions get north korea to denuclearize? i think some of us say no, but sanctions bite and it touches them. i think the last resolution was a very powerful one. it took about 30% and of the basically -- we are talking about $750 million textiles. things -- ae doing joint military exercise. only are they americans, the prelude to innovation. the decapitation of leadership. when you say why defensive, when you look back, you can go back to 1966 when they had a commando -- the coldat the's house. we can go back to 1993 when they had a commando team coming in to take the leadership down are you irma. there airlines, 1988, were number of issues. . us and all many of of us in the room would say it is very distasteful. the succession of the military exercises if we want nor

we're going to south korea u.s. south korea japan combined china only so have i think the difference in it is a sort of understand that there's interest in priority of just supporting north korea giving blank check to north korea has not worked and we're not at the close of the end game here and i think china needs to leave value should you showed earlier about you know the regime change was being a problem and charles has talked about the need to engage in gauge you said last week in an interview and also information warfare we need to help the people of north korea rise up that's the long term game the north korean people bring about the change we need you can't really engage with you also encourage regime i'm not i'm not a promoter and engagement are locked only because i feel you have given an option. the knowledge and sounds of your united states doing decapitation of the gene but supporting the people rise up by supporting people of north korea because the horny the long time game here is that we need a differ

south korea. we can speak now to yogita limaye tell us what we are hearing in the last few minutes. we have spoken to the south korean defence ministry who are saying they have detected the earthquake in the north—eastern pa rt the earthquake in the north—eastern part of north korea. they are still analysing to see whether it was triggered by any sort of explosion ora triggered by any sort of explosion or a possible test but what we also know is south korean president which are in is convened an emergency meeting of the security council to try and analyse what the earthquake is, however triggered. the united states geological survey has also said, confirmed this, but there has been a 5.6 scale earthquake in the north—eastern part of north korea. but no confirmation that this is definitely a nuclear test. the chinese administration, chinese earthquake administration, has said that they think this is a blast that triggered the earthquake is that is the information we have as of now. put this i

south korea is responding to north korea's latest test with a barrage of missiles. they are meant to send a message that seoul is willing to wipe out north korea's leadership and nuclear test site. >> a meeting of the brics country is under way in xaimen, china. leaders from bra zishlgs russia, china, and south africa are attending. all eyes will be on chinese president xi jinping and russian president vladimir putin to see how they might further respond to the latest developments in north korea. >>> for more on north korea's claimed test of the hydrogen bomb, we're joined from vienna, austria, secretary of the test ban treaty organization. thank you so much for coming on again. we spoke to you yesterday shortly after a tremor was felt. you have sensors that allows to get a good look. you can tell us how strong the detonation was. >> yesterday as mentioned, we had one of the biggest tremor ever recorded by our international monitoring system. we are talking magnitude of 6, the highest ever recorded. and this is a clear indication that the program -- the nuclear weap

and north korea? very much so, untilthe mid—2000s. south korea had become a major player in economic terms in north korea. in terms of trying to shape or curtailment of‘s nuclear ambitions, which i understand have a lot to do with the fear that without them they are vulnerable to being knocked out as a nation uncertainly a regime, has the diplomatic road achieved very much? it is what the americans were leaning on for quite a number of years? it achieved quite considerable success for ten years, say. the 1994 agreed kramer —— framework stopped it where it was, that was positive. it also led to some reduction of us sanctions which at least seemed like an opening to north korea. what did not lead to was us/ north korea diplomatic relations, although that had been envisaged. i think that was very u nfortu nate. envisaged. i think that was very unfortunate. there were mistakes on both sides. in terms of what happens now, i was very struck by a quote from the organisation that helps to police the t

. >>> breaking news from north korea. a new reaction to that country's claim that sunday morning, it successfully test aed a hydroge bomb. president trump tweeted a short time ago saying that country conducted a major nuclear weapons test and north korea's actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the united states. we first learned of the apparent test around midnight eastern time when the u.s. geological survey detected significant seismic activity near the main testing site. they say it was a magnitude 6.3 explosion followed by a magnitude 4.1 collapse. north korea claims the test was part of its niuclear program an involved the same peanut-shaped bomb inspected by kim jong-un a few hours ago. japan, south korea, nato have responded with swift condemnation. we have analysts. we begin with nbc's garrett hake. a concerning sunday. the president tweeted several responses. what all did he have to say? >> reporter: good morning. absolutely, about 7 1/2 hours after the test allegedly took place, the president resp

not only will they always apply to north korea the stub substantially reduced but north korea will also lose two of its largest income sources, namely tech tile exports and overseas laborers. we believe that these measures, if fully implemented, will significantly undercut north korea's capability to pursue further nuclear weapons development. the resolution also sends a clear message to pyongyang that enough is enough. continuing on the wrong path will only deepen its icelation, seriously endangering political stability, and hinder its economic development. this is truly not what north korea desires, but it is what it will certainly face if it does not change its course immediately. mr. president, by introducing the most biting and robust measures in this new resolution, the international communities that reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to remain united in stopping north korea's further pursuit of nuclear weapons. our goal is not to bring north korea to its knees. but to achieve a peaceful solution to the north korean nuclear issue. under the current circumstances, where north kor

north korea. but, as i said, we have many options to do so. as the authorities struggle to get aid to millions in need, we meet the survivors of south asia's worst flooding in decades. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: an exodus of myanmar‘s rohingya muslims. we report from bangladesh, where thousands have fled persecution and violence. this is the main land route through which the rohingyas are now entering bangladesh. on the other side of the mountain is myanmar. and we will bring you the incredible story of an amazing rescue in china, after a young boy was trapped at the bottom of a well. it is 7:00am in singapore, midnight in london, and 7:00pm in washington, where president trump has condemned north korea for its latest nuclear test, warning that america may stop trading with any country that does business with the north. the un security council will hold an emergency session later on monday, the second time it has met to discuss pyongyang's actions in a week, and south ko

north korea. there are reports of an explosion felt in north korea. the usgs has ruled out an earthquake. it happened in the same area where the country has the conducted nuclear tests and this news comes a few hours after the north korean state agency reported the military developed a new advanced nuclear weapon. pictures surfaced of kim jong-un observing what is said to have been a hydrogen bomb and loading it into an icbm. the south korean president is expecting to convene a meeting of the national security council. an explosion in north korea but we have no confirmation of what type of explosion it might be and whether it is nuclear in nature. ron allen joins us now from seoul, south korea. what can you tell us about the situation there? >> it's widely expected that this will be a nuclear detonation under ground, a test. you know there is an ongoing back and forth shows of forth between north korea, the united states and south korea that launch of a missile over japan, the huge show of force b

to condemn north korea's nuclear moves. they kind of take north korea's position. yeah, and the united states should stop its joint exercises with south korea and get out of the korean peninsula. so they sort of take a fwit of the usz position. and china, which has a huge alt of leverage, no matter what they say has up until now for all intents and purposes that a nuclear north korean career will collapse with china than with the tens of millions of people they believe would flee into north korea and destabilize that situation there. so the -- you know, the established nuclear powers of the five permanent members of the security council are not on the same page on all of this. >> all right. christiane amanpour, so appreciate your insight this morning, thank you. >>> all right. so despite the new sanction and the threats of fire and fury, north korea tested this powerful hydrogen bomb. how will president trump react to the latest test? let anything keep you sidelined. come on! that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... for

on the topic of north korea. and that is why on behalf of france, i would like to send today three messages of political nature and express them if the form of three requirements. the first one, the first demand, is the need to be lucid when it comes to the development of the threats we're facing. let's make no mistake. after the intercontinental ballistic missile launches this nuclear after the test, unprecedented scope on the third of september, the threat changed in regional, it became global, from virtual, it became immediate. and from being serious, it became existential. and this is illustration of how this threat places demands on us. it brings us together. i'd also -- it also shows us how we need to have a strong and united reaction of the security council, something that france called for from the beginning, and without reservation. the first demand placed on us, a central nature, is the need to be firm. give them the-long rush forward of the irresponsible measure of the regime and the contempt for its i

north korea saying is to undermine south korea which is its rival south korea's the only country which poses an existential threat to north korea south korea is the only country which capability ability and intention to absorb the north korea and unify the korean peninsula so north korea's aim is to undermine south korea not to. undermine or attack japan and the reason why north korea is trying to develop capability to japan is to actually prevent japan and the united states from assisting south korea in case of contingencies because with nuclear and the missile capability is capable of attacking japan and the united states north korea can say oh the americans and if you assist south korea we would attack you with nuclear weapons and north korea will be telling. you no the question will be whether you know would you be willing to sacrifice tokyo washington new york for seoul and we depend and the united states would be put in a very easy thing fashion do you think that japan the united states will still come to south korea's aid if anything happens. that's what we are committed to do b

korea. nothing appeared to deter kim jong—un. earlier, richard listersaid earlier, richard lister said north korea's behaviour has become the top priority for the president. this is becoming the most urgent challenge faced by president trump. he is meeting his security team today, but they have no good options the table. north korea seems to have dismissed the president's fighting talk of recent weeks as bluster. i think the administration is more focused on sanctions, i think the i think the president has said that they are considering a total trade embargo on any nation that does business with north korea, that means china, and they have resisted any sanctions that might destabilise north korea but it looks like washington could force them to make a choice. president trump says he will not accept a fully nuclear armed north korea, but he knows that the time for preventing that outcome is shrinking fast. china has condemned the test. our correspondent explained how the relationship betwee

isolate north korea. the united nations security council recently approved additional sanctions against north korea though even more sanctions against the north would require china and russia again to sign off and that seems unlikely. the russian foreign ministry says foreign minister sergey lav rov told secretary tillerson days ago any further strengthening against further pressure against north korea would be counter productive and dangerous. state department officials say the effort beyond sanctions will be the secretary's continued lobbying of allies and adversar ies in particular china to cut off north korea. a week and a half ago the treasury department unveiled sanctions against chinese and russian firms for conducting business with north korea. trish back to you. >> trish: thank you so much for more we go to karl rove former senior advisor to president george w. bush and fox news contributor. good to see you this morning. good morning. >> trish: you heard rich talk about a lot of people talked abo

the trumpet administration says north korea is begging for war with its nuclear missile tests kim jong un's as a push for new and sanctions means the u.s. will suffer the greatest fame what's next i'll talk with the former u.s. ambassador to the united nations bill richardson on this edition. of politicking on larry king while his administration contends with multiple natural disasters at home tension with north korea continues to rise well the standoff with the rogue nation and donald trump says kim jong un is begging for war with his nuclear missile tests while pyongyang says the u.s. will suffer pain if a push for new sanctions succeeds we'll get the perspective from bill richardson former democratic governor of new mexico new mexico and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. the governor says he believes kim jong un may be unpredictable but he's not suicidal he joins me from woods hole massachusetts or i build a subject at hand north korea celebrated its sixty ninth founding anniversary sunday on the ng warned it might carry out another missile test it did not give me a full assessment

resolution passed just on monday the toughest ever sanctions imposed on north korea north korea made it very clear that those sanctions that resolution would not deter them in their ambitions to develop nuclear missiles that they would carry on with their tests and this is evidence of that they saw a very similar test in many ways to the wall at the very end of august where the north korean regime flew what's believed to be a hoss on twelve missile over japan and that one flew for two thousand seven hundred kilometers this looks like a similar missile launch albeit it flew further so again further provocation by north korea they're trying to show that they will not be stopped from their ambitions andrew what do you think the immediate reaction is from south korea is going to be in terms of its defensive capability are we going to see it bringing in more of the units that it's been bringing in recently. well interestingly president moved in here when he was elected was opposed to the deployment of the third missile defense system in south korea and he campaigned on that in part to get

because the north korea's border with south korea is fortified. it is fortified with tens of thousands of rockets and artillery pieces that are tested technology, they are proven technology. and would in a very short amount of time be deployed at the city of seoul and at american troops and their families who are based there. so some sort of action, military action, would -- like a cold war dynamic, you have this mutually assured destruction factor in play, that a military action would trigger a huge is loss of life. then the other option is diploma diplomacy. and just recently president trump tweeted that he doesn't think that diplomacy is the answer. talking is not the answer. but even in that tweet it was somewhat ambiguous. did he mean talking to north korea? or talking to anyone? and most people say that there does need to be some sort of diplomacy that china is the way to do it. but china's strategic concerns need to be met. china needs to be convinced that the u.s. does not seek to put troops close to the chinese border, that if the regime

korea. defense secretary james mattis warned of a massive military response to any threat against the u.s. and its territories, including guam. but north korea issued new threats today saying if provoked, it would eradicate the u.s. with no trace left on earth. we are covering all of that and more with guests including senator ben cardin, ranking member of the foreign relations committee, correspondents and specialists are also standing by. let's go straight to our breaking news with residents of southeast texas still reeling from harvey, another powerful storm may pose a serious threat to the united states. you may not have heard about it yet. it is hurricane irma. and it is now a dangerous category 4. florida's governor has already declared a state of emergency. let's turn to meteorologist tom seder at the cnn weather center. tom, this is not looking good. >> no, jim, we are looking at irma. the same strength that harvey was when it made land fall into rockport. we know what happened to ro

response to every north korea provocation advances our goal of denuclearizing north korea. some experts call for the white house to negotiate a freeze of north korea's nuclear program with claims that it will reduce the threat and eventually lead to denuclearization. but we have seen this movie before and its ending is not encouraging. north korea has made clear it has no interest in denuclearization. to the extent that pyongyang is interested in negotiations, it's only for the purpose of extra extracting concessions and engs change the programs that it will quickly violate. in testimony before this sub committee in july i noted that u.s. sanctions did not have a sirius impact because they insufficiently targeted enough of pyongyang's international business nor have they targeted nonnorth korea. forgnat lit that appears to be changing. the trump administration has started to sanction north korea's international business partners. since march 31st, the u.s. has sanctioned 43 persons of whom 86% operate outside north korea and 54% are non-north koreans. but this work is not d

that means kim jong—un will threaten the united states that "if you do not leave south korea, north korea would attack seattle, la or san francisco with hydrogen bombs". "kim jong—un has finally started respecting us", president donald trump has said just in the last fortnight, when it seemed as though the rhetoric from pyongyang had died down. today, north korea's leader has shown that he has no intention to stop. following president trump's condemnation, the prime minister theresa may issued a statement deploring the missile test as "reckless". she said it posed "an unacceptable further threat to the international community", which must now "come together to continue to increase the pressure on north korea's leaders to stop their destabilising actions". well, so far, a series of us and un—backed sanctions against the north have had little apparent effect on pyongyang. the us treasury secretary steven mnuchin told fox news that his department was preparing potent new measures that would completely "cut off north korea economically." idid speak i did speak with the president. it's cle

korea is finding, as i've told them, that there talk of appeasement with north korea will not work, they only !"derstand one thing we will hear today from congresswoman murphy who was critical of donald and some of his other comments on the south korea matter. the center for strategic and international studies hosted this. >> good morning. .hank you for coming we would like to thank our partner for their support. we're fortunate to have ambassador richard armitage and koreansident of the foundation here to give some opening remarks but before introduce them, i would like to say a few words about safety here at csi us. we feel very secure but we have a duty to prepare for any eventuality. i name is lisa collins and will serve as your safety officer for this event. follow my instructions should the knees arise. please also familiarize yourself with the exits in the back on the left and on the right. is the president of armitage international. it was formerly the deputy secretary of state and secretary of defense for east asia and civic affairs in the office of the secretary of defense

with north korea. secretary mnuchin said he called chinese. how is this not -- especially talked about how china is really the main financial backer. how can this not only be directed at china? on iran, is there a way to talk about, to ramp up iran destabilizing activities drop the middle east, which i think a lot of your allies agree on, without violating the agreements as secretary tillerson said? is there a way to get allies to rally around more terrorism type and other sanctions while keeping the nuclear provisions in place? ambassador haley: with the sanctions on north korea, it only impacts those that continue to do business with north korea. if china does business, it will impact them. there countries in africa, it will impact them. it depends on countries that use to continue to support north korea over the rest of the world that is asking them not to. in reference to iran, you have a couple of processes that take place. on october 15, the president has the decision to make on whether to certif

and fury on north korea. so certainly there is a discrepancy in the level of punishment they want to go for for these missile tests and these nuclear tests. i think there was a bit of a squeeze coming from washington for south korean president, and also not exactly a disappointment over that tweet, but concerns that there could be this red sox between these two allies, and that's becoming more visible these days >>> choin thina says the global economy has improved but many difficults still remain. he warned that countries could turn inward on trade xi did not mention the united states by name, though president trump has said trade deals are a threat to american jobs and of course pulled the u.s. out of the paris climate accord >>> back here in the u.s., the house of representatives will vote tomorrow on hurricane harvey relief. they want to ensure storm victims get the help they need >> prior to harvey, i think you know i've said we have enough funding to go through the end of september and urged congress to

japan strongly condemns north korea and has directly launched their protest against north korea. fact that manyhe number of members of the world as well as the secretary-general -- they have already issued statements strongly condemning north korea. , theeyond condemnation tourity council must act stop north korea from continuing down this road. we should make it clear to the north koreans that continuation will bring about serious consequences. we must put maximum pressure on north korea to change its policies. it continues to be critically important for all the member states to faithfully implement the existing resolutions that have been unanimously adopted, 2321 and 2371. but that is not sufficient. japan stresses the need for the council to adopt swiftly a new resolution which further robust sanction measures. in paragraph 29 of resolution 2371, the security council toressed its "determination take further significant measures in the event of a further dprk launch or nuclear test." the council must act on this determination accordingly. japan is looking forward to continuing

tweeting south korea is finding their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. they north korea only understand one thing. it seems it will be economic sanctions. but we hope to know more after this national security meeting. by was asked and he said "we'll see." arthel: you know he said that, you were there. john roberts, thank you very much. mike: the state department is reacting to north korea's latest nuclear test with secretary tillerson reaching out to his counterparts. secretary of state rex tillerson is make calls to counterparts in the region following the north korea news. the president's national security team monitoring details closely and will meet. officials have said it is beginning to work as countries are cutting more economic ties. still in the past couple weeks north korea fired a missile over japan and claimed it tests a hydrogen bomb it can load on to an intercontinental ballistic missile. reports say they are pushing for more sanctions after this test. russia said more economic numbers would be couldn'ter productive and dangerous. seek tir

korea. can you tell us how that will affect them, and how it will affect the u.s. relationship with china? secretary mnuchin: this is targeted at north korea, and anybody that wants to do trade or business with them. we appreciate the relationship with china, and we look forward to working with them. thank you, everybody. announcer: we heard more about the north korea sanctions with you and ambassador nikki haley. briefing in new york city and also discussed the iranian nuclear deal and the ongoing concerns over human rights in myanmar. this is 25 minutes. ambassador haley: good afternoon. we had a very productive week. the united states was out in full force, and i think the u.n. felt it, but i think it was extremely productive. you look at the beginning of the week and it started with u.n. reform. you had massive reforms for the u.n. we had 130 countries that have signed on to that reform. that is two thirds of the general assembly, which is who will vote on this at the end. that was a gre

south korea's presidential office says the two agreed to limit the pay load on south korea missiles as part of the response. also today u.n. ambassador nikki haley. >> despite our efforts over the past 24 years, the north korea nuclear program is more advanced and more dangerous than ever. they now fire missiles over japanese air space. they now have icbm capabilities. they now came to have tested a hydrogen bomb. and just this morning there is 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 must now adopt the strongest possible measures. nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. kim jong-un shows no such understanding. his abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. >> south korea is also responding today with a huge show of force. live fire drills involving war planes dropping bombs. south korea also launching ballistic missiles in a simulated tack against nuclear's nuclear test site. all of this after north korea state media announced kim jong-un suc

in seoul, south korea. we'll be live there in a moment. >> good morning, i'm alison kosik. 30 minutes past the hour here. we begin with north korea defying international condemnation over its latest, largest nuclear test with signs of more tests to come. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley arguing at an emergency security council meeting that the international community must exhaust every last bit of leverage over pyongyang to avoid a nuclear war. >> the time has come to exhaust all of our diplomatic means before it's too late. we must now adopt the strongest possible measures. kim jong-un's action cannot be seen as defensive. his abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. >> among north korea's few remaining pressure points that could be targeted with sanctions, oil imports, text time exports. the regime's other sources of foreign currency. pyongyang slamming the u.s. via state media, bragging it will use its "nuclear strategic weapons to eradicate the land of the

and north korea, south korea. we've had various crisis here and there, i feel like, at least for me the current state seems different. with north korea, two icbm tests in july, the six nuclear tests that followed. and north korea has been close to completing the nuclear program, catering to their capable where they can attack the united states and it wasn't in the sense that it's not acceptable. it's a sense of urgency, that something new and different, whatever that is needs to be done about that. and, of course, we have president trump, who has increased the rhetoric against north korea, i'm sure everyone has seen his speech at the united nations, calling kim jong-un rocket man and threatening to destroy north korea, and, of course, kim jong-un following up with a personal statement, personally, i have not seen such a personal statement, first person with his name. just everything becomes so personal, and the north korean foreign minister following up with a threat to do another nuclear test, this time over the

between north and south korea to denuclearize the nuclear. korea. the problem is the united states and you have to look at this broadly. be the problem for the rest of the world actually now is the containment of the united states the u.s. used to during the first cold war talk about the containment of the soviet union but no it's the containment of the united states and frankly it always has been. it's an unpredictable regime but there is absolutely no doubt that if north korea hadn't developed nuclear weapons it would have been attacked all the same thing would have happened something similar would have happened to north korea as happened to libya and iraq syria and afghanistan. and i want to play a clip from the house foreign affairs committee who met today regarding sanctions on north korea let's take a listen one of the strategies that the administration is pursuing that bring china to that point where they conclude that it is in their interest to enforce the sanctions because the danger of a conflict on the peninsula is greater than their fear

i think it would be more likely to see a north korea with nuclear weapons. being counseled by china and other you know quads i allies in the region on arms control arm controls arms control measures in the future but would they actually trying to use that weapon to unify the peninsula that's hard to say and graham it seems very much as though this is of x.'s existential important says it for the regime of kim jong un he believes that without. nuclear weapons his regime and his very existence is is under threat absolutely i mean he's taken a leaf from what's happened to one of gadhafi in libya libya give up its nuclear weapons programs what happens that and saddam hussein when he gave up his nuclear weapons program so so you know if you look at things from kim jong un's for a point of view he's not taking any chances. he's he's taken confidence in the utility of nuclear weapons in sending off this perceived foreign aggression and no nuclear or blackmail of any sort. to achieve the end of changing the regime and removing kim jong un from power so i'm convinced

you're a south korea watcher and an avid north korea watcher. we know that kim jong-un, even though he's making these threats, for him it's survival of his regime. so does that offer a glimmer of hope that he can be deterred. >> we have to take that into account. he's telling his people that north korea needs this nuclear weapon in order to survive. in order to keep the u.s. from striking. p he's convincing his people they need to go without food and electricity because their very survival is at risk. if you keep that in mind, take away the threat to their survival, take away the incentive and give them what they need, perhaps there's need to take away the will or motivation to continue testing. >> what is it going to be? what is the additional sanction, turning of the screw, that needs to take place to reign in north korea? >> if the united security council or any other government wants to pinch the north koreans it's going to be cutting off the fuel supply. so when i was there in may, that was the one thing the north koreans were questioning m

against north korea. north korea may now have tested a nuclear device that is small enough to put on top of a ballistic missile that could be fired at the united states. and, for the government here injapan, that is very disturbing, because it raises a very troubling question. in future, will the united states be willing to risk one of its own cities, say for example, denver, in order to protect seoul and tokyo? this afternoon, the us ambassador rushed to see japan's foreign minister to reassure him. no action taken by the north koreans will in any way deter our commitment. japan and the us may have the military might to deter north korea, but they have few other levers to pressure pyongyang. only one country does, and that is china. china was quite literally shaken by the blast. north korea's nuclear test site is only 60 miles from the border. it will have sent a diplomaticjolt, too, coming just before president xi jinping opened this international summit. although he made no direct reference, he warned

south korea the text north korea -- the text north korea missile preparation. equities are lower. what are the prospects for a clean resolution with north korea? this is a question that traders will be asking themselves. the situation in north korea appears to be escalating. pull dollar yen. -- the markets bought dollar yen. let's see how this translates into dollar yen at the bottom of your screen. how the u.s. equity futures look. happy labor day if you're having a late martini or barbecue and a glass of beer. you will need it because this is your futures. .asdaq is up 20% this year trump is threatening economic sanctions and halting trade with any nation doing this is with north korea. u.s.-south korea free-trade agreement is on my mind. , catsarkets are closed bonds are closed, cash equities are closed, therefore you'll see vicarious trades going through on the features. dollar yen is accelerating in terms of buying yen, selling the dollar south korea says north korea is preparing for an icbm launch. this is a news headlines coming in. let's have a look at the risk arer as the

at the moment he said we do not desire the collapse of north korea we are ready to assist north korea but north korea must acknowledge all of this is soon as possible and stop making reckless choices rosalind jordan is our u.n. correspondent she was listening to that speech along with us very measured sort of speech given all the talk we've heard about north korea so far at the general assembly this was a president coming out and saying hey i want pace that's awful. that's right but president moon also stressed that the united nations needs to be doing more to enforce the latest two rounds of sanctions against persons and entities in the north korean regime in order to try to stop its nuclear weapons program the president also said that as the president of what he described as a divided korea that it is incumbent upon all parties to try to make certain that north korea is in compliance with its international obligations since it is to a member of the united nations the president also noted during his remarks that as someone who was born during a time of warfare that he would very much

and south korea yes south korea has got to be i mean they have a reasonable president right now moon and he has got to be looking at trump who is pushing him to war and stabbing him in the back economically at the same time that last. year of this to happen in south east south korea and japan they do not need to sort it all their lives and those of us so the u.s. wants to fight north korea too will a lot. of crime got to lodge and it all goes back to what you said earlier is who are we dealing with everything with trouble are we dealing with madness are we dealing with kelly are we dealing with these wall street goldman sachs bankers no one really knows who's trying this foreign policy decision just like with this russian policy north korea policy is still a lose lose for donald trump. he has made it a big you know position he himself in a very masculine way and even putin's wording in the text he wrote before he went to the bric summit he addressed north korean issue and he very early clearly tried to play up to trump's ego. in it he referred to the united states as the stronger and

reporting, detecting tremors or explosions coming from around north korea near to where north korea has carried out previous weapons test. china's earthquake administration is saying it has detected two quakes in north korea, the second one being of 4.6in north korea, the second one being of 4.6 in magnitude, describing that one as a collapse. the south korean military says they believe this tremors, these explosions are man—made, in other words, they are not naturally occurring earthquakes. this comesjust not naturally occurring earthquakes. this comes just hours after north korea boasted that it had developed a hydrogen bomb capable of being fitted onto an intercontinental ballistic missile. so the two coming very close together, worrying, as a nalysts very close together, worrying, as analysts have been saying. duyeon kim is an expert in south korea and she has been —— chi joins me now. duyeon, we spoke to you a little while ago. what do you make of china having detected another earthquake of 4.6, correction, not an earthquake, a tremor of 4.6? well, we are going to have to

north korea. to go in there in to take out the the president of north. america had no desire to take over libya and yet they did if they ever do the country in the in to care as it had no desire to occupy iraq or afghanistan even it did so you know why should the north korea be an exception axon i came here to talk about north korea and not about other countries in which russia is involved or the united states is involved the issue here is that the president putin has called for teams for dialogue to resolve the issue of north korea everybody agrees. with that you know peaceful dialogue is taking place so what do you do with this was for suggests that's what's going on do you just sit by and continue to see kim jong un develop the his nuclear capabilities which could really in danger both china and russia in the event that there is a mistake take place or there's an accident involving a country developing nuclear weapons that has no history of thought a handle a nuclear weapons or do you get invol

ofjoint military drills by the us and south korea. that was described as insulting by the us government. john sudworth reports now from the chinese city of dandong, close to the border with north korea. the work goes on late into the night. from this chinese oil depot, north korea gets most of its energy, piped directly across the border. a day after the nuclear test, there is no sign of any letup. washington is turning up the heat on china, insisting it uses its leverage to greater effect. some of these diners agree their government could do more. i think they should do something about it, this man says. i hope there will be no more nuclear tests. china should take control of north korea. then there will be peace. the chinese president, xijinping, though, is busy hosting a summit of the world's developing economies. two of them happen to be key trading partners with, and old allies of, north korea. and china's focus remains as always on dialogue, and not military threats. translation: having a war on the korean peninsula is not an op
