tokyo and beijing in a moment, but first, yogita limaye in seoul. it was a perfect success, the newsreader declared, as she announced north korea was close to achieving its nuclear goals. the country says it has detonated a hydrogen bomb small enough to be fitted to an intercontinental missile. this is kimjong—un inspecting what north korea claims is such a device. if true, it would mean that pyongyang is now capable of launching a nuclear attack on cities in the united states. this unprecedented threat prompted president trump to say... any threat to the united states or its territories, including guam, or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming. it is a strong message to south korea's president, who for months has said talking to north korea was a solution. today, he expressed outrage and disappointment. translation: north korea has made an absurd tactical mistake by committing a series of provocations, such as launching icbm missiles and conducting a nuclear test, which has heightened tentions on the peninsula and

the president for his trip to china. my first impressions of beijing was that it was very bleak and depressing. it was early drought. everyone is dressed the same. very few cars, mostly bicycles. we arrived at the guesthouse and two hours the prize, the announced that chairman mao would like to see president nixon right away. this was mao acting like a traditional chinese emperor, not given you any warning when you were going to be summoned to his presence. i have worked for many presidents. including several close up. president nixon was by far the most well versed and strategic in international relations. he was extraordinary. whatever his bars, one has to grant him back. as you person, you was quite shy. he was always somewhat ill at ease in engaging in banter or smalltalk. —— small talk. both sides had clear reasons for trying to reopen communications after 22 years of mutual enmity and indeed fighting each other in korea. when you meet someone of historic significance, you have to figure out whether you are impressed with the personality because you know he's important or w

, including from u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson. china responded today, saying that beijing shouldn't be the one held responsible. at a regular press briefing, the foreign ministry said china is not at the center of the conflict. china is not a driver of the escalation of tensions. and china does not hold the key to solving the issue. the ministry was reacting to secretary tillerson's statement after north korea's missile test, when he said china and russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches by taking direct actions of their own. tillerson had said that the u.s. had pushed for an oil embargo to be included as part of tougher u.n. sanctions but watered down the demands to get russia and china on board. he said he hoped china would, quote, take it upon themselves to use the very powerful tool of oil supply to persuade north korea to reconsider. china had some suggestions of its own for the u.s. the foreign ministry said today, "we think the relevant parties should take responsibilities for their duties and fulfill their obligations." from china

situation where washington, beijing, tokyo, seoul really need to join forces and unite in trying to first stop pyongyang's further testing of missiles and nuclear device in, nuclear weapons, and also to a situation where we can somehow try to stop the north‘s nuclear missile programmes or roll them back. i think it is fair to say though, isn't it, diplomacy and sanctions don't seem to be working on north korea. well, we have not had a good track record, that's for sure. but there were many factors and variables are played out in the reason behind ourfailed policies in the past. one of which actually is that time ran out for the bush administration, time ran out for obama, time ran out for clinton, and now is the time when we really need to test all of our options, all of oui’ to test all of our options, all of our diplomatic options, and our sanctions options, there are a lot of sanctions would still have not been implemented yet, including secondary. and on the diplomatic end, we have not, this is now the time to test everything we can at oui’ time to test everything we can a
