recently the u.n. security council will meet later to discuss the launch and what options it has our u.n. correspondent was in jordan is standing by to tell us what we can expect what we will begin with kathy novak who is in south korea's capital seoul to wrap up all the developments so far cathy despite all the outrage and condemnation we've heard in the last few hours this test doesn't really come as a surprise. no not at all south korea had been warning to expect more missile launches and even perhaps more nuclear tests of course this missile launch came just days after the latest round of u.n. sanctions that were designed to punish north korea over its six and most powerful nuclear test and it is as you mentioned the second time in just a matter of weeks that it flew a missile over japan ordinarily when it tests its missiles it aims its trajectory deliberately at a high altitude that way it can demonstrate the range of its missiles without the added anxiety and threats caused by flying over another country generally including with the intercontinental ballistic missiles that

, the security council adopted u.n. resolution 3275 and the toughest sanctions imposed on any country in the 21st century. we discussed how best to enforce those measures with the aim of maximizing the pressure on north korea to reach a diplomatic solution. we resolve to work together and with partners who can influence north korea, including china with the complete and denuke lar isation of the north korean peninsula. i'm delighted to welcome along side rex secretary tillerson d demonstrating the alliance between our two countries. rex, great to have you. secretary tillerson: it's always an honor and pleasure to be here in the united kingdom and work with such close and committed allies to find solutions to some of the most complex issues in the world. i want to thank foreign secretary johnson for his kind words to the american people particularly in the aftermath of hurricane harvey and hurricane irma. many americans continue to suffer in recovery and have a long way to go to rebuild their homes and lives. americans do have a reliable friend in the british people and the american peopl

security council session and you said that a military solution to the crisis is impossible but do you seriously think any calls for a military solution go beyond emotions or populism i mean does anyone seriously want war. hello so fickle nice to be with you i hope they have not we had the next throw of the security council meeting on the recent test and everybody everybody strongly condemned that it was indeed a flagrant violation of all previous security council resolutions almost good here including the latest on the twenty three seventy one you know nobody i believe once military solution everybody won once the crisis but debate is all peacefully but the problem is that recipes for to differ. some countries some ground that is like the united states france japan u.k. south korea and others say we need to impose new set of sanctions on the got a key to deprive them of the means to develop their nuclear ballistic missile test program and to bring them back to the english a negotiating table so we got out of sight as we went to russia and china that we're going to actually get to the

that that is a legitimate position to take? only if it is supported by the security council. nobody, not a single country in the world has entitled the united states of america to take the global responsibility on the global security issues. the united states of america is a country, a country among other countries, we have a collective mechanism of discussing and taking this kind of very serious decisions like interfering with other countries' internal affairs, like sanctioning other countries and all that stuff. if the united states of america continues to act unilaterally without any approval from the security council, it will continue to provoke response. the problem is that on the security council, you and china constantly backpedal, for example, when it came to new, tougher sanctions on north korea, you and the chinese clearly did not want an all out oil embargo on north korea so that had to be softened. so it's no good talking about the security council being a vehicle if you won't allow the security council to do its work. stephen, you are probably too busy and you don't rea

korea will respond in some way and wayne just to think of you as back to the security council as again we are seeing matthew right crawford he is the u.k. ambassador to the u.n. obviously the u.k. and france are two of the security council permanent members very much on the u.s. aside when it comes to call for sanctions against north korea but the resolution having to be watered down to get russia and china on board and indeed they didn't veto the resolution indeed it was a unanimous vote fifty or fifteen members voting for this resolution on tougher sanctions against north korea to pass away and just staying with you again i mean obviously there's a lot of the plough mysie going on at the u.n. and the financial side to all of this and the sanctions that i guess the security council hopes hope will bite against the north korea but how worried are the actual people of south korea about what perhaps they see as an ever more belligerent neighbor. well i think to a large extent they have become used to it the peace people of south korea have become used to the missile tears even nuclear te
