north korea has been slapped heavily. most people think that the future of sanctions depends on whether the chinese cooperate. china really holds sway here. chinese come around and enforce these. they should hurt. they would have hurt before if the previous ones were enforced. the first would allow china to be dragged before the international court. people have floated that the north korean elite should be pulled before them. they've certainly done more awful stuff than anyone else in the world. also north korea might be expelled from the u.n. it is onodd point that they're in there at all >>> thanks. >> thank you >>> malaysia's transport minister says he will work with a team from australia to determine whether debris found washed up is connected to the missing malaysian flight mh370. these were photos released last year. speaking at any news conference the minister says he can't yet confirm the origin of the debris. >> we would like to get hold of the debris as soon as possible. that is why we are working with australia

of north korea. there was no sense of urgency. on the abduction issue, i think that was a commitment by the government at that time to deal with. i think when the japanese government -- i would also like to remind that the japanese government was very fragile at that time. of course, the abduction issue had so much consensus among the public. the domestic political context, it prevented the japanese government from dealing with the nonproliferation. that is one thing. question, mr.one gallucci? what is theysis, key program for north korea not implementing the agreed framework? the failure of the delivery of the heavy fuel oil or the failure of providing the security guarantee? someone may wish to correct me. we did not fail to deliver the heavy fuel oil. we failed to deliver it on the schedule we said we would deliver it on. we just did not do it because as george points out, i was running around trying to get money from various places and the budget to play -- pay for this heavy fuel oil. hard work.

security council unanimously passes its resolution on north korea in response to north korea's nuclear test. while they were negotiating this resolution, north korea launched another satellite launch. this is actually some 20-pages long when you read it, trying to work through the loopholes and work arounds of the current sanction's resolution. also if you read the sanctions resolution, it has not some things that are supposed to target the leadership of north korea themselves. on the last page, you find sanctions on things like jet skis and snowmobiles. >> reporter: so james, what does the international community think it can do more of seeing as -- as you have just said, north korea is already subject to four rounds of u.n. sanctions? >> reporter: well, it's a very detailed list of things they have added, new names, new front companies they are trying to cover. north korea does change the way it does these things. it changes the names of the companies it uses to illegally import things to its country. so it is trying to do that. they are certainly the most extensive sanctions for 20

the sanctions against north korea because so much of what north korea receives passes through china and the port is a busy place normally for exports to north korea but in recent weeks we are told trade there has begun to decrease but nevertheless it's going to be very hard for china to inspect every container and every shipment that is destined for the north. we do know according to a japanese news agency two north korean ships were turned away during the past week but china has said all along it doesn't believe that sanctions are what could bring this crisis to an end and they say only negotiation ultimately can succeed but that tactic simply has not worked in the past. >> and you wonder what the international community can do next and china north korea's allies expressing this for pyongyang's action and what can the international community do next since the sanctions are not having an effect, what could they be doing next to reign in north korea? >> well, the problem is i think the north korean leader knows at the end of the day china will do nothing to bring about the north kore

i think north korea failed to have a sense of security. north korea was able to trust the u.s. i think the north korean people are suffering from a sense of insecurity. so then, north korea had a complaint about other incentives, and it is very much to do with u.s. politics, lack of consensus, and the north korean question of providing incentives or strong support outside of the government. in i think they are reluctant to provide that. from the other perspective, the biggest problem is north korea's commitment to the d nuclear is a nation -- the nuclearization program. to me, there is an unclear sequence. what are the conditions for the incentives? there is a clear contrast between the north korean case and the iran case. i think there is a much better sequence between verification and incentives. secondly, there are differences in perception among the major stakeholders. and there are loopholes in the imitation of sanctions. north korea kept exploring arms. we kept questioning the thoroughness of the chinese implementation of the other sanctions. i think i'm going to skip thi

south korea is set to announce it's own set of sanctions against north korea. the move comes off the back of a new round of u.n. sanctions imposed last week. the snkss are expected to include an entry ban on any ships that have been to north korea and the addition of more north korean nationals to an existing black list. tensions are high on the korean peninsula following rhetoric and military activity. china has called for more comprehensive action labelling any blind faith in sanctions alone as irresponsible. the p.m. said the issue has to be resolved in order to restore calm to the region. >> translation: tensions are increasing in the peninsula. if tensions are aggravated or grow out of control it will go disastrous to all parties. china will not passively watch the area become unstable and let security interests be damaged by the instability. we call on all parties involved not to aggravate tensions. >> reporter: live to seoul and my kreeg rob mcbride. what do you think we will see and hear? >> reporter: the announcement will come in the next hour or so he
