north korea must fully comply with the u.n. security council resolutions. >> i just want everybody to understand and fully know that the united states of america stands behind japan, its great ally, 100%. thank you. >> our team of correspondents and team of analysts are standing by to break this down. matt rivers is live in seoul, south korea, and ryan is our pentagon reporter. >> ryan, talk to us about what you are hearing at the pentagon about the response to this? >> that's right. we are starting to see the pentagon tracked this missile through a strategic command, and they have seen this before, and what we are seeing now from mattis is to boost defense in the region. we saw it earlier this month the u.s. military conducted a missile test shooting down a medium range missile, and mattis on his first trip abroad went to south korea where he discussed the new missile defense system getting it in place before the end of 2017. there's a real concerted effort to boost defense systems, so even though this missile could not get ta

the u.n. security council now will convene an emergency meeting today after north korea launched a ballistic missile test this weekend. one the country hailed a success. the u.n. meeting comes at the urging of japan, the united states, and south korea after japanese prime minister shinzo abe condemned the missile launch with president trump by his side. how will new york respond to all of this? let's turn to keir simmons who joins from us seoul, south korea, for more. was this missile launch really meant to rattle the trump administration? or something much more? >> reporter: good morning, frances. the timing was certainly interesting. it does appear aimed at the trump administration. happening just as trump was meeting with the january nees prime minister and the missile fired toward japan, though it only traveled around 300 miles before landing in the sea, short of the japanese sea. but that said, north koreans are saying it was a successful launch, that they tested a new missile that they'r

yes the u.n. ambassador, nikki haley first comments criticizing russia for military aggression in eastern ukraine, it's news but balance against weeks and months of public statements by president trump. is it a real change? have to see. remains to be seen. on israeli policy yes, a mild statement of criticism against settlement building but in the midst of a promise still not yet realized on moving the u.s. embassy from teleavif to jerusalem. and we've seen president trump back off that promise over time. power centers in the administration might want to be more aggressive. seeing a move to the center or different power centers in the administration expressing themselves with the result of the battles uncertain? it's hard to say. some is genuine confusion in the message from the administration. >> but appears they're softening at least. different factions in the white house and at end of the day see how it plays out. speak doing that. secretary of state rex tillerson. and new secretary of defense m

so my specific question, we have agreed on -- russia itself at the u.n. security council. put into discussion and it was adopted. and it's disagreement comprises cease-fire, return of heavy weapons and deployment of staff to all conflict areas. why does it seem to be impossible for russia to implement these commitments as a confidence building measure to help us improve the overall situation? >> minister, at the end of your declaration or your statement, you talked about a post fake new world. i would like to respond to that. during the u.s. electoral -- travesty on the possible interference of russia in the u.s. electoral campaign. we have an electoral campaign ongoing in france, and one of the candidates has been complaining about, again, russia interfering. so that the french president held an emergency meeting last week so my question, is it true or not? >> does russian foreign policy consist of exerting influence on elections in democratic countries or is this just an illusion created in a post truth world? >> as for the first question, i'm glad that you have read the

you saw a statement from the u.n. ambassador saying that aggression in the ukraine will not be tolerated. you see them sliding into place in a lot of ways with an overlay of certain aspects of the policy, but as ambassador burns points out the execution of the policy is important and again, it's not impossible to imagine the obama administration pursui sanctions after a ballistic missile test. it's much more likely the obama administration will have taken time behind the scenes got some allies on board and going it alone is not as effective as doing sanctions. >> we're going to have to leave it there, nick, mr. ambassador, ali velshi, ali arouzi. two alis and two nicks. >> effective. >> big thanks to all of you. kristen welker as well. >>> today's microsoft pulse question, do you think sanctions are an appropriate punishment for iran's missile test? that's the question, we'd love to hear from you, the pulse is live. us.msnbc.com, we'll check the results later in the broadcast. >>> how are lawmakers reacting to the adm

the actions by the north korean regime are unacceptable and in clear violation of the u.n. security council. it is imperative that the u.s. stand strong with japan, south korea, and all of our allies in the region against the provocative and threatening tions of north korea and their totalitarian regime. a regime that is determined to thumb their nose at the world by advancing their nuclear capabilities, thus threatening their neighbors, the region, and for that matter, the world. the united states and its world partners must continue to persuade north korea to adhere to the u.n. security council resolutions or they choose to invite worldwide sanctions upon them. this is north korea's decision and nobody else. thank you, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. sherman, for five minutes. mr. sherman: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for five minutes. presented my remarks and include extraneous material. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. sherman: i ask unanimo

asking, did iran's ballistic missile test violate a u.n. resolution? just some notes here from npr in the days leading up to today's announcement of additional u.s. sanctions on iran. the u.s. and iran have made claims and counterclaims as to whether iran's police tick missile test on sunday violate -- ballistic missile test on sunday violated a u.n. security council resolution. and the 2015 nuclear deal between iran and six world powers. including the u.s. let's take a look at one of the first questions that the press secretary took. this is one of the first questions on iran. and then we'll come back and take your phone calls. reporter: [inaudible] -- sanctions on iran. previously this morning the president had said that they were playing with fire. you said that appropriate action would continue to be taken. is this the full extent of the punishing actions that we're seeing right now? and are military options still on the table in response to the administration saying that all options are on the table? mr. spicer: thanks for the question. i think th

ambassador to the u.n. and man with unique experience in this area, waiting to hear what your take is on all of this. please, enlighten us. >> well, i've been dealing with the north koreans for a long time. this intermediate missile test, they do it quite a bit. so it is not a crisis situation. but what they're doing is they're testing donald trump. just been in office three or four weeks. they don't know much about him. the north koreans are testing him, especially with a japanese prime minister. and in the united states. so this was typical to the way they act. now, i think the president and his team have responded the right way, which is not to make it a big deal. quick response. no threats, talking to allies, finding ways to say we stand behind japan. south korea, you know, i've been critical of the president's foreign policy. but i think with north korea, you can't deal with them normally because they're totally out of the box. and they're clearly testing and i think what the president has done is he's

i mean, we all remember when he came out ahead of the u.n. security resolution condemning israel's new settlements and said -- actually took israel's side, the u.n. security council shouldn't be pursuing that, defended israel, defended netanyahu on that. i think it shows he's operating in the new reality he has before him, which is that he wants peace in israel between israelis and the palestinians. he wants to pursue a peace deal. jared kushner is the one he has put in charge of that. i think he recognizes if you give israel everything they want on the front end, then there is nothing to give the palestinians potentially. there is no way to negotiate a deal of that kind. and you know there is still also this issue of whether he would move the embassy in israel to jerusalem. that's still something that he hasn't committed to fully. i think we're going to see a lot of answers potentially out of his meeting with netanyahu. >> david i gna cious, i'm anxious to hear your thoughts. you covered this story for a long, long time. >> wolf, i've been s

and the u.n., where was our u.n. ambassador was drafted by the way. instead of saying iran is prohibited from undertaking any activity, blah, blah, it says iran is called upon not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles, blah, blah. you know, this, the previous administration was so weak on iran, and 2231 was designed for the u.n. to accept the joint, the jpoa, the iran deal. so they wrote this thing, they all caved, and now you will have the purists going back saying they weren't actually prohibited. yeah, well, you start attacking ships, you start doing this stuff, exporting weapons, and destablizing the middle east which is already a show, then, you got to be called on it. you can't just count angels on the head of a diplomatic pips. charles: the white house saying there will be a deliberative process in that iran will be held into account but to your point, after eight years of feckless, you know, red lines that disappeared in the dust, in the wind and just, no policy whatsoever, what do we have to ultimately get iran's attention?

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley this week expressing u.s. support for ukraine. they might be looking for a higher level of support than they originally anticipated. certainly some of president trump's comments during the campaign trail, particularly for example when he said he might consider recognizing the independence of crimea, those were very worrying to ukraine. but this will be a particularly interesting relationship. i think many will be watching both russia and in europe to see how the u.s. continues to respond to the violence in eastern ukraine. >> and talking of that violence there, what is the current situation right now? things seem to be getting worse. >> reporter: it's an extremely situation on the ground there in eastern ukraine. as i said, unprecedented levels of cease fire violations according to international monitors from the osce, the organization for security and cooperation in europe, the ukrainian side saying yesterday they saw the worst violence in the last 24 hours than they had seen in a year. we're two years on from the cease-fire agre

., u.n. ambassador barbara hale condemned russia's aggressive post nur eastern ukraine, and urged russia to return territorie territories i. >> the parties on the ground should heed this signal and hold their fire. >> reporter: u.s. relations with mexico have soured also over a border wall and mr. trump's vow to tear up the north american free trade deal. >> i don't care if it's a renovation of nafta or a brand new nafta, but we do have to make it fairer. >> i know this was a hotly contested election and we do not all feel the same way about the outcome. >> reporter: on his first day on the job, secretary of state rex tillerson urged diplomats and foreign service officers to pull together, even as hundreds have voiced dissent over the pre's immigration policy. >> we cannot let our personal convictions overwhelm our ability to work as one team. >> reporter: tillerson got to work with close u.s. allies, phoning the foreign ministeres of expaed mexico and meeting with germany's foreign minister

. >>> and also the u.n. secretary on his first trip overseas, matt rivers is standing by along china's border with north korea. >> we'll start with that extraordinary phone call with the u.s. president and malcolm turnbull, the conversation was heated with a deal negotiated during the obama administration which would see a thousand asylum seekers to the u.s. many are from iran, iraq, sudan, and somali, companies on trump's travel ban. he repeatedly called it a bad deal, saying one of the refuses would be the next boston bomber, and then the call was quickly ended. one tweeted this. the obama administration agreed to take thousands of immigrants from australia, why? i will study this dumb deal. the parliament house and reporter tim lissa, what is the reaction from the prime minister but also from ordinary australians? >> reporter: well, there is a deal of shock, because john, diplomatic relations between australia and the united states have never been carried on this way in living memory. and it suggests a ch

that is, i think, good news for the u.n. it breaks a lot of the negative perception the u.n. was serving before. it has also created a tremendous level of expectation on this new secretary general. how as senior advisor do you look at that and in particular how it might affect the follow-up of what happened last year? >> the general assembly chose a man with strong values and i think the world is hungry for a leader with strong values and who will represent the people that need us in the world in the best possible way. he is a tireless advocate for people in need. not just refuges but we have huge numbers of people living in poverty and suffering from the effects of climate change and he will fight for them. i think it is -- he is probably one of the toughest jobs in the world. but i do think right now there is a movement in the world where people are looking for this kind of leadership that is based on principle, values, based on making the world a better place for humanity and in a world where everything is interconnected and every person matters. >> host: well, i think you

the u.n. says hundreds of people have been killed and women gang raped in an ongoing -- aign that made ongoing campaign. the ethnic cleansing is not a legal term. documents weind of have could be described as ethnic cleansing. >> witnesses described the killing of children's and babies. the burning of entire villages and systematic rape. they took me inside the house, they tore my clothes, and a tour -- and they took my headscarf off. two men held me, and another one held me by my hair, and they raped me. >> the soldiers told me we will kill you, we will not allow you to live in this country. reporter: burma refuses to anognize the rohingya as ethnic minority. the military began its latest crackdown following attacks on border guard posts last october. since then nearly 70,000 have fled to bangladesh. for an. has called immediate stop to the violence and warned the issue could be referred to the security council and possibly even the international criminal court. anchor: putting on a convincin

the u.n. high commission on refugees, they will tell you a lot of chapter and verse on why they don't think they are helpful. but then ask them a second question. would you rather spend all day to them and they will say -- who fills the vacuum? who will be the teachers in the schools? who will educate? will we have to come in and i would say that if there is an ideal solution, we did a study on them many years ago. the uh cr.ome under why is this issue singled out? shouldn't there be an international agency that deals with it? not liking it is only half of an answer. when israel doesn't see the substitute, they are not excited to pull from it. >> on this question i think you posed a bit of a red herring here. the real debate is not about defunding unra, it's more about whether the functions should appropriately fall under the unhcr. the realultimately question is, should palestinian refugees be sus -- subject to of refugeefinition as refugees around the world? which is what differentiates refu

ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying no sanctions on russia would be lifted till they returned crimea to ukraine setting up the same kind of flash we saw between russia and the obama administration something not very many people expected given his comments on the campaign trail. as to how russia is reebing this, they're trying not to overhype the situation. the kremlin spokesman telling cnn yesterday that he never indulged in any great optimism that the russian/u.s. relationship would change under president trump. so they're really kind of watching to see what happens next, linda. >> and in terms of what happens next, we know that president trump is expected to speak to the president of ukraine. in the coming lawyers, what can we expect from that? >> reporter: well, this may well be a measure of just how much has changed in the past week. until this week we would have thought this relationship might not be adopted to succeed. there were many comments that mr. trump made on the campaign trail. for examp

observe the truly principles of the u.n. charter, disputes could be addressed through peaceful means, and conflict and confrontation can be avoided. win-win cooperation can be achieved on a basis of peaceful coexistence. president xi gave an analogy. he hopes that we can make for the world an exquisite swiss army knife -- wherever there is a problem, we can fix it with one of the tools of this knife. toolkit athat in the our disposal, there are quite some tools that are carefully designed by countries that crystallize the collective wisdom of mankind, and have been proven effective. they can be used to solve our kinds of challenges facing the world today. of course in this process we need to pay attention to make sure that they work with each other, not against each other. we need to be creative and improve them along the way. we need to meet committed to multilateralism. againy tells us time and that self-centered unilateralism will only heighten tension and conflict, and bring more trouble. multilateralism is the effective

have worked -- by the u.n. have worked relentlessly and have achieved historical face, for the conce -- the universalized norms regarding relations are not observed. 70 years later, multilateralism is most -- is the most effective cool and effort to address problems. it is not obsolete. that, it should be carried forward. at this interesting time, the authority of the united nations should be upheld, not undermined. it's all should be strengthened, not weakened. we need to be firmer in maintaining the principles of the u.n. charter, leveraging security mechanisms defined by the u.n. charter, and further elevate the governance capability and effectiveness of the united nations. to spend among major powers -- countries big or small are illegal. at the same time, big countries have more resources and more capabilities. they have the responsibility and also the application to play a greater role in maintaining international peace and security, and make more conjuration to development and progress. along, thewers ge

what we saw in december, the debate over the u.n. security council resolution was over -- for the first time you're seeing a policy passed by the u.n. security council saying it is an illegal occupation. and there's a violation of international law. that's what was getting done in december. this seems to be more of a strategic play. there are some moving pieces here where administrations in the past, republican and democrat, have -- in the united states have been adverse to the development of israeli settlements. i would need to know more as far as what the trump administration's plan is for the prime minister coming to visit. i also met with king abdullah a few days back. they are a leader in the region. so there are a few different dynamics here. and this is a 19,000 dimensional chessboard. this could be a productive move. maybe the settlement development just for a short term could be suspended to help with some of our efforts. >> you do acknowledge it's a shift for this white house, though, and this president? >> yeah, you know,

matt, to you, this meeting of the u.n. security council has been requested by south korea, by japan and the united states, but what can the u.n. really do here? does it have any reference to change course with that nation? >>. >> reporter: what the security council has the act to do is enact more sanctions. there were two rounds of sanctions levied against the regime in pyongyang, and they were escalating in the first and the second. but those sanctions were levied after two different nuclear tests. and what we're talking about here is not a nuclear test, and frankly, we're not talking about an intercontinental ballistic missile. so exactly how the u.n. security council is going to respond we're not sure yet. but what is different about this particular test compared to other tests of intermediate-range missiles is how this missile is being fueled. in the past they were fueled by liquid fuel. this appears to be, according to officials we have spoken to, this missile is being fueled by solid fuel, and that gives a couple dif

the white house insists it violates a u.n. security council resolution though it does not abrogate the 2015 nuclear deal brokered by the obama administration. sanctions will target more than 20 iranian entities for terrorism and missile related activities. the white house had to get creative with the application of sanctions for fear of itself violating the nuclear agreement. the missile launches in the of how president trump will deal with the nation who he claims ruled the united states in a bad deal. our on his -- iran is thumbing his nose at the president. there is plenty of support for new sanctions on capitol hill. >> when you hear about the telephone calls happen, don't worry about it. just don't worry about it. speak at the president is finding less support for his dealings with a strong ally after what is described as a frank phone call with the australian prime minister malcolm turnbull. the president is said to be disappointed in a deal cut by the obama administration in november to take in refugees living in offsho

north korea must fully comply with the u.n. security council resolutions. >> i just want everybody to understand and fully know the united states of america stands behind japan, its great ally, 100%. thank you. >> our team of correspondents are standing by. thank you all for being with us. i want to begin with matt rivers tracking information from seoul. >> we are hearing this is the kind of test they have conducted before and it has a range of upwards of 4,000 kau kilometersd it is far enough to hit installations that the united states has on the island of guam. that was something that kim jong-un has said was a top priority of the regime, he said it in a new year's day address on january 1st, he wanted to create this kind of missile in order to be able to deliver a nuclear payload at some point down the line. he may not have that capability yet but most experts will tell you that he is getting to that point, and it does appear to be a matter of when rather than if he develops the technology, and that's something that he has s

the u.n. doesn't have leverage on them. i think if he's trying to smooth those borders, that is not a bad thing. this is an issue for asia, the balance to asia. it's the largest trading area of the world. we have to get it right. >> yeah, the president is learning our relationship with china is more complicated, excuse me, than he may have thought. he can't say china is the enemy and the block we need to confront. when it comes to north korea, china is the one leverage point. we don't have a lot of options and won't do anything. if you look at the last presidents, they all tried and could do nothing. >> what are the next steps for the white house? maybe these are signs that the president is opening his mind or his heart or maybe on some level he is pragmatic. >> reporter: i think the restraint he showed over the weekend is an indication there is a difference between a candidate trump and a president trump. you recall, before he took office, he reacted to, responded to north korea more aggressively, drew a line in the sand w

says violates a u.n. resolution. general michael flynn issued a statement saying this. the international community has been too tolerant of iran's bad behavior. the days of turning a blind eye to iran's hostile and belligerent actions towards the united states and the world community are over. president trump released this statement on twitter. iran is playing with fire. they don't appreciate how kind president obama was to them. to me. white house press secretary sean spicer responded to a question on whether in trump would consider taking military action against iran. he doesn't take options off the table, but he understands the impact of something like that. the sanctions today will be strong and impactful. i hope iran realizes after the provocative measures they have taken, they will understand this administration will not sit back and take it lightly. lou: the navy deployed the u.s.s. cole. it's symbolic it was deployed to patrol the watters off yemen and was attacked by suicide bombers in 2007, killing 11 of it sailors. in paris, police shot and killed a man who s

president obama through the u.n. security council resolution basically called neighborhoods in east jerusalem settlements. that is not what donald trump said. he referred back to bush policy. it's radical. he wiped out eight years of obama's policy on settlements in one statement. the press is reading this thing entirely incorrectly. >> look, i think that's partly true and partly not true. signals were set he was not going to reject to expansion. the challenge is there's a learning curve when you become president of the united states. for donald trump who has never been around this world before, it's a big learning curve. you have to walk before you run. dan is right, this reverts to a bush policy. the problem around the world right now is mixed signals to allies, adversaries and we are the leader of the free world. if we send mixed signals confusing to allies like australia, germany, the uk, that's going to be a problem. we are the strongest country on earth not because we are powerful, but the alliances we have aro

u.n. john bolton responds to the latest threat from iran and you might remember president trump listens to what he says. >> john bolton, we'll be asking to work with us in a somewhat different capacity. john is a terrific guy. we had really good meetings with him. knows a lot. he has a good, good number of ideas that i must tell you agree very much with. ♪ this is the silverado special edition. this is one gorgeous truck. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's 5. aaaahh!! ooohh!! uh! holy mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. which one's your favorite? come home with me! it's truck month! find your tag for an average total value over $11,000 on chevy silverado all star editions when you finance through gm financial. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. cheryl: controlling exactly what people think, that is the job of the mainstream media, according to msnbc's mika brzezinski, not president trump. >> he is trying to undermine the media. trying t

with the u.n. watchdog reporting that they are actually stickingto the new deal , is it going to be harder to rip the deal up? >> i don't think it's ever going to be that easy because it wasn't a bilateral deal. it's a security council plus germany and the iranians negotiating. the obama administration is the spearhead of the negotiations. it doesn'tguarantee that anyone else walks away . you have to make the us the issue and you want to make the iranians the issue. you want their bad behavior to be the issue. with them saying they are complying with the terms of the deal right now Ãthat will simply ensure that all the other members who are negotiating the deal preferred to see it . conversations were brought up about sanctions. the i i ran deal will uphold. you could say a lot of people are probably pretty surprised that the 2015 deal stands. it also comes at a timewhen president trump says he wants to have the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world . he also wants tougher sanctions on the guard to

ambassador to the u.n. calling for harsh action against the communist country following what it says is the successful launch of a new type of ballistic missile over the weekend. ambassador nikki haley says "we call on all members of these gritty council to use every available resource to make it clear to the north korean regime and its enablers that these launches are acceptable. it is time to hold north korea accountable. not with our words but actions." president trump had an on characters in the brief response today when asked about the north korea situation. many experts are expressing alarm about what has happened over the past three days. here is senior foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot. >> north korea launched over the weekend a medium-range ballistic missile, his first missile test of the year and the first clinical test of the new trump administration. kim jong-un reportedly monitoring the launch. pyongyang called it a success, claiming a missile could very a nuclear warhead now being deve

the u.n., and is the first country to put its signature on the u.n. charter. for the past over 70 years, many multilateral institutions represented by the u.n. have worked relentlessly for world peace and human development. and have achieved historical progress. for the many conflicts and confrontations we face, they happen because of the deviation from the u.n. charter purposes. and the universally recognized basic norms are not observed. therefore, 70 years later, multilateralism is still the most effective tool and effort for us to address problems. it is not obsolete, and far from that, it could be carried forward. at this interesting time, the authority of the united nations should be upheld, not undermined. its role should be strengthened, not weakened. we need to be more firm in maintaining the principles of the u.n. charter, with the security mechanism defined by the u.n. charter, and further elevate the governance capability and effectiveness of the united nations. second, we need to

ambassador nick -- touting what u.n. ambassador nicky haley said, tough talk to russia, saying that russia has to get out of crimea for sanctions to be lifted. the white house said she was speaking forcefully and clearly for the administration. >> this weekend the president already down in palm beach, mar-a-lago, spending the weekend at what nthey call the winter white house. is that what they're calling it now? the president's estate down there. monday, interestingly, while in florida he's going to go to the u.s. military central command in tampa for a full briefing. what are you hearing about that? >> reporter: that's right. he's going to be going down to the macdill air force base to get a briefing on the war on terror, the war on isis. he's going to be thanking troops down there for their service to the country. we should point out he released his weekly address to the nation. typically those happen on saturdays. this one was released at 5:00 p.m. on facebook. during that address he recognized the sacrifice of ryan o

that's the u.n. relief agency dealing with palestinians. it came into effect after the war. but they will tell you a lot of chapter and verse of why they don't think they're helpful. but ask them a second question. would you rather end all aid to unra? they'll say, who fills the vacuum? who's going to be the teachers in the schools? who's going do educate? we don't have that kind of thing. i would say, if there was an ideal solution, and we did a study on unra many years ago. that should come under the unhcr. why is this issue singled out? that would be ideal to me. someone has to deal with the refugee issue. but shouldn't it be the refugee agency that deals with it. but just to say i don't like unra is only half an answer, because you have to think about who fills it in. when israel doesn't see who the substitute is, they're not excited about pulling funding from unra that i've seen whenever i've looked into it. rob might have some thoughts. >> on this question, you posed a bit of a red herring here because the real debate is not about defunding unra, it's whether or not th
