military tensions with north korea over its nuclear weapons program, from "washington journal." congressm an ted yoho joins us now, republican from florida, serves as chairman of the house foreign affairs subcommittee on asia and pacific. we are chatting about the latest and most successful test from north korea to date. can you put that launch into perspective, what does it mean for the threat facing the u.s. homeland? glad to.st: we have seen an escalation of icbm's. this is their third successful launch. when you start perfecting that technology in an icbm, the next up is to put the nuclear warhead on there. this is something that we see them going down this path. it is not something they just started, something they have been working on for 20 years, but it has certainly escalated under kim jong-un, something the whole world news to be involved in, not just america. host: are we being continually surprised by missile launches, test, how good is our intelligence to know exactly where north korea is? unfortunately, being such a closed society, intelligence is hard. boots on the ground,

concern for us is that north korea may now mistakenly believe that they have a nuclear weapon capability so they can keep the u.s. aside and run amok and coerce south korea and do a lot of provocation for their purposes. >> we started with japan. let's go to north korea. his from the university in seoul and has equipment all translate this one as well. >> oh good, i don't have to .transition translate this one. >> the first thing i would like to know is why is thee u.s. so afraid of north korea? north korea has a very tiny army. even if they w t get icbms which it's looking its way toward, america still has a qualitative and quantitative militaryry edge both in conventional and nuclear capabilities, and so, the north koreans know if they do anything, ifg, this escalates with the national conflict with america, they will lose so why is the u.s. making such a big deal out of north korea. >> we have had a lot of analysts and experts and journalists, maybe even you on the take away, on my show explaining that south koreans tend to be much less excited about the north korean threat

:00 p.m. eastern on c-span2's book tv. >>> up next, diplomacy efforts with north korea, including president trump's recent trip to asia. the role of china, and the possibility of substantive diplomatic talks with north korea and if there's any possibility of a nuclear war. >> welcome back, everyone. it's good to have you with us. thanks for you all getting settled there. welcome back. it's good to have you all with us. it's been 72 years since the world has seen the destruction caused by nuclear weapons. most people have no real sense of what a nuclear bomb means, but tarumi tanaka does have a sense. he was 13 years old and living in nagasaki when the united states dropped the atomic bomb on his city. he lived about two miles from ground zero, and somehow survived, even though the bomb devastated his neighborhood. that's just amazing. two days later, he and his mother visited the epicenter searching to are their family members who live nearby. here's how he described the scene. this clip is in japanese, so i'm going to translate this one as well. he says houses were gone, only the

urgent question of what to do about global nuclear threats. on north korea, president trump away the diplomatic handbook when he called kim jong-un "rocket n" and threatened pyongyang with "fire and fury." and on iran, he made good on his distaste for the nuclear deal that was hammered out by the obama administration, calling it the "worst ever made," and refusing to recertify it, but he stopped short of pulling the u.s. out. this nonetheless left washington isolated from its allies and world powers, who had all negotiated and signed the deal. and iran's president, hassan rouhani, told me that the u.s. would pay a high price when we met in new york at the general assembly. >> translator: exiting such an agreement would carry a high cost for the united states of america, and i do not believe that americans would be willing to pay such a high cost for something that will be useless for them. it will yield no results for the united states, but, at the same time, it will generally decrease and cut away and chip away at international trust placed in the united states of america. >> wh

point for well over a decade now. the international community condemns north korea's pursuit of a nuclear arsenal and we will never accept a nuclear north korea. the dprk's unlawful backs cannot be ignored nor explained away. the dprk must be held accountable for its actions. in that regard, any notion that the source of tensions on the peninsula are the fault of no one party, there is but one party that is carried out in legal detonation of nuclear devices. there has been one party that continues to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles in violation of u.n. resolutions. threatening civil aviation security because launches are undertaking with no notification. there is but one party that has punished and with that is the kid regime in north korea -- kim regime in north korea. they are responsible for these and they alone can solve these tensions. >> i think mr. tillerson for mr.state -- i thank tillerson for a statement. i shall make concluding remarks in my capacity as the minister of the foreign affairs of japan. has devoted itself to create a country respecting human right

photographer and live in vienna i've been able to travel to north korea seven times since two thousand and five getting a picture of the country's people and their world view during these trips i saw more than i was allowed to be shown any journalists visiting the country is accompanied by minders around the clock i've known mine for a few years now here i'm taking pictures with them they check what you film who you talk to and what about. i see the familiar images but time and again i see new ones i notice that there are a few new ideas for many of the people caught in this collective mindset. a paranoid system one that i too have to submit to. it is a requirement on every visit to start by going to the statues of the two great leaders i'm familiar with this. they're part of the large man sued a monument which commemorates north korea's fight against the japanese occupation. the capital pyongyang is home to more than three million people and to a middle class that's becoming economically increasingly independent of the state a middle class that could in the long term become a problem for

the chair to convene today's session on north korea. i also appreciate secretary gutierrez's comments and framing of the situation for us. as was the case when president trump took office, he identified north korea as the greatest threat to u.s. national security, and regrettably, a months later, not much has changed. if anything, the situation perhaps has worsened. the most recent north korean missile test, one that was noted as a real threat to civilization and security, it demonstrates the disregard north korea has not just for the united states, but for the view of the entire international community. i think that was clearly expressed by the members of the security council today. we simply cannot continue to accept the progress of north korea's program. we will maintain the pressure campaign, and we undertake efforts to increase the effectiveness of the pressure campaign through a combination of the sanctions regime, full implementation and compliance of the sanction regime, as well as unilateral actions on the part of many countries to send the message to north korea through dipl
