recognize thatto on the korean peninsula, there is still a condition of war. concerned about american aggression, our hostile behavior they call it. in order to find a way to reduce tensions on the korean peninsula, we need to assure the north that we are not going to preemptively attack but that will require significant steps by north korea to stop their production andl ballistic missile testing and further nuclear testing and ize.s to de-nuclear host: iran as part of the agreement that president obama signed an there is lot of controversy. it requires iran to transform or close nuclear facilities and reduce the number of centrifuges uranium.hing it also requires iran to limit their stockpile of low, and rich uranium and the production of the weapons grade plutonium. this was signed back in 2015 and limits the amount of uranium and plutonium that iran can have an manufacture and how is it working? well so far.orking this is not a bilateral agreement. it's something the president obama negotiated and their european allies and so far, the not -- is affected ira

of triggering further excalation of the korean peninsula. i think it's time for china together with the united states and other major stakeholders to call on dprk to discontinue the nuclear weapon testing as well as the launch vehicle testing and really come down to the negotiation table, and the six-party talk framework. i think it's also time to use all the wisdom and courage and vision available to all the stakeholders here, try to bring about a complete discontinuation of the nuclear weapon and testing launch vehicle program by dprk. >> mr. gao, president trump has been quite categorical saying before in a tweet that he did not think that china was being helpful enough with north korea. do you think china's posture will change given that they did have a phone call the other day. and that relation seemed to be back on track. >> i think president trump's phone call with chinese president xi jinping is a very important landmark milestone event in china/u.s. relations especially by acknowledging once again the one-china policy which by the c

we are the trip line there because at this point you didn't have americans on the south korean peninsula, you would of course have general war. because it is the north korean's regime's primary basis of legitimacy is to take over south korea by force if necessary. >> weapons of mass destruction means chemical weapons by definition. just a quick final question for you, this attack, this assassination, uh, reported assassination was very planned, very organized, very rerehearse. anyone who was a part of it also must have known there were going to be viewer yo cameras. i'm curious your thoughts to that. what is truly the message from north korea? >> i think that's why the north koreans used the vietnamese and indonesian woman and the people who were in the middle of this conspiracy, the ones authorities are trying to find, are north koreans. they're the ones between the perpetrators and the master min. >> it's a really scary story, ad one with bigger implications. i'm glad we had a chance to talk about that. great to have you on the program as always, thank you very much. >> thanks, jen sha

overall, this high will be keeping things on the mild side even back towards the korean peninsula as well. temperatures getting into around the low teens for the highs on tuesday. a gradual warm up into wednesday and thursday. that's because we have an area of low pressure coming into the west. with that we're looking at widespread precipitation as well. about five to ten centimeters of snow expected. then moving toward the east, widespread rainfall across much of japan. tokyo with a high of 11. partly cloudy skies still getting up to 11 as well. shanghai and taipei pushing to the teens. let eets take our attention to the tropics into the caribbean here and haiti. do look at the satellite picture. it's absolutely out here right now. the next several days we have gorgeous conditions. that's good news because there's a festival going on now. i'll show you some video. they're having a great time. just a few months ago this city was nearly levelled by hurricane matthew. remember that storm system moved through back in october. 39 hotels were destroyed in that city. all of them were rebui

china has its own interest in keeping the status quo on the korean peninsula. to prevent a flood of refugees in the event of the north's collapse, to avoid a reunited north and south. it would not only mean a resurgent korea but a major u.s. military ally directly on its southern border. genie: u.s. backed forces in iraq are getting ready to launch an assault aimed at retaking the western half of mosul. it is still under the control of the islamic state group. if it is completely secured it would be a major state toward breaking the group's so-called caliphate. camps for displaced people are currently under construction in iraq getting ready to welcome refugees on the road -- on the run. >> from the arid plains of the iraqi highlands a refuge for the displaced. construction workers are building camps for those fleeing war-torn mosul. x will also be built here. lives will also be billed here. -- built here. the camp is south of mosul. up to 7000 people will make their homes here. >> this project is one of several that are being built to host the people who are e

so what we're seeing this morning here on the korean peninsula is what's shaping up to

the big thing is that will be bringing widespread rainfall across parts of the korean peninsula and back toward the north. tokyo should stay on the dry side. you're going to be feeling the effects of these temperatures going up and down. for example, from wednesday, a high of 13. jumping up to 18 by friday before dropping back down by saturday. still same story, just a bit sooner since they are further toward the west. 7 up to about 11 dropping down on friday to about 4 with rain showers there in the forecast. now i do want to take your attention here across europe. we have several areas we're watching. big thing in the west we have this low pulling in some moisture. fairly blustery conditions across the british isles. back in east, sunnier skies but we have northerly winds coming in and the big thing is into italy fairly heavy snow path there combined with the sunny s conditions does bring the threat of avalanche. i want to show you video of a tragic situation that took place out a ski resort. it gave way and fell right in a hole there. that's what we call a terrain trap. it's very dang

earlier on friday, pyongyang issued a statement saying the system is driving the korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war. north korea also demanded that the u.s. and south korea cancel their annual joint military exercises scheduled to start next month. it warned that unless the exercises are canceled, pyongyang will enhance its nuclear capabilities and other defenses. >>> officials in south korea say it appears that the head of north korea's secret police has been dismissed for corruption and abuse of power. >> the dismissal is expected to instill fear in senior officials and weaken the government's grip on citizens. it's likely to further destabilize the regime. >> the officials say kim won hong was likely removed from the post of state security minister in mid-january. they believe many of his senior staff have been executed. kim was a close aide to the country's leader. he's believed to be behind the investigation, detention and special military trial that led to the execution of kim jong-un's uncle jang song thaek in 2013. kim last appeared in news when he accompanied the l

so what we're seeing this morning here on the korean peninsula is what's shaping up to be the first test for north korea during the administration of donald trump. >> and athena jones is in florida with the administration as the president meets with the japanese prime minister and his wife. any word from president trump or his diplomatic team on this launch? >> reporter: ana, no word yet from sources i reached out to, not with the japanese staff traveling with prime minister abe. the press pool that travels with the president could at least ask him an opportunity, have an opportunity to ask him a question in the next few minutes or so. we don't know for sure they'll have that opportunity, but we'll certainly report back if the president does respond. as we've been saying, this is something there were signals about some time ago. u.s. intelligence satellites picking up signs of activity last month in north korea that signaled that this kind of test firing could be coming. so it doesn't seem as though the white house or nsc should have been caught flat-footed. even though we're now hearing

back toward the west, high pressure is helping to push the cold air down into the korean peninsula and also into china, so be on the look outfor 10 in tokyo. rain with a high of 21 into the weekend. now i want to point out what's happening in the western portions of the united states and also into canada. we have a big band of moisture coming into california with cold air from the north, warm air ahead of it. we're concerned about flooding. that would be concern through friday, saturday and sunday. extending into san francisco and further south into san diego as well. here's your extended outlook. >>> at the topvxaçÑÑ anchor: hello and welcome to "live from paris." it is 1:00 in the french capital. let's look at what is making headlines this hour. the sister of the spanish king is found notot guilty of being accessory to fraud. however, her husband is sentenced to over six years in jail. dozens are dead and scores injured after a bomber blew himself up in one of the deadliest attacks ever carriedd out in pakistan. islamic state group having cld

the korean peninsula and high pressure over china ushers that in. the return flow down toward the south also bringing some cloud cover anand showers into places like chongqing, and we'll be looking out for that once again as we goo into friday. i do want to draw your attention down here, though. see this blob of moisture east of the philippines? this is a low pressure system that is interesting because it has the potential to become tropical, but for the moment, at least the models are indicating this system will eventually turn toward the north and east and not really making much of an impact. so, hopefully, that will be the case, but we'll be watching that through the rest of the week. 12 in tokyo, 6 in seoul and beijing, showers in shanghai and manila, also dealing with rain as we go through friday. as we go look at n north americ on the western side of the continent in the country, notice the low pressure system off the coast of the united states past california. now, earlier in january, we were dealing with a lot of rainfall and flooding proble

peninsula this time around. we've seen over the recent years that china has been taking a little tougher stance on north korea. china has long believed to be a longtime sponsor of the communist regime but certain changes detected in their relationship especially since the new -- not new anymore but young kim john untook the helm of the communist regime. now, what did not change so much was north korea's behavior this time around. it tends to do that especially in the beginning of a new administration in the u.s. or south korea. but what i found very interesting was donald trump's somewhat restrained response for now, a quick one-liner from emergency press conference. was actually hoping, anticipating for a late night tweet coming from the u.s. president. guys, back to you. >> sharon, thank you so much for bringing us that update. president trump meanwhile is back at the white house after a weekend in florida visiting japanese prime minister shinzo abe. donald trump confirmed the security of japan and the two lea

peninsula. now one reason some analysts say beijing has been fairly quiet so far is because they don't view this as a threat to the region as a whole but rather they view this as a call for attention from the new trump administration and the ouu.s. a well as a warning shot to japan. you're right about china as the only major ally north korea has on the global stage and provides an economic and political lifeline to the regime in pyongyang. but the two sides haven't been seeing eye to eye on the issue for some time. one telltale sign is xi jinping has yet to meet with kim jong un since he took power a few years ago. on the other hand, of course, china does feel the need of having north korea as a security buffer between itself and south korea, which has a large u.s. military presence, and also china does not want to see a massive refugee crisis on its doorstep if the north korean regime collapses. and one other factor that's been affecting all of china's consideration lately is the deployment of

breaking news story right now coming out of the korean peninsula that north korea tested this ballistic missile. it is the first time north korea has launched such a ballistic missile during the trump presidency. we know he's meeting with the japanese prime minister this evening far working differential gave us sense twhaung president is currently discussing with his japanese counterpart. >> they have to be discussing a response right now. this is the first real foreign policy test that is not something that the president has created for himself in this very young administration. it's perhaps fortune that this happened while he was with one of our closest alliance, the leader of one of our closest alliance in east asia. but this is is something he's going to have to be talking leaders in japan and in south korea about tonight and over the weekend. >> certainly emily, as the president has the working dinner with the japanese prime minister, he's probably also going to be assessing some of the relationships he has had across the region. there's going to be some tough questions about the r

china wants to have greater peace and stability on the korean peninsula, and has been urging no testing, and if they continue to test the launch vehicle it will most likely come into possession with the icbm's, that will hit a larger range and this will further create instability in this part of the world and beyond, and therefore i think china and the united states and japan and russia should be united in condemning the latest action. >> let's talk about the response, and maybe more sanctions, and there are multiple santions levelied over the years, and it has not worked as a deterrent. maybe they will take another route. >> as you know, during the election campaign, donald trump talked quite a bit about trying to get beijing about imposing tougher sanctions, and united states is working with china back in 2003, and trying to curve north korea's missile programs, and that has not had a lot of success, and they ramped up sanctions from small arms to the selling of a pricey statue that north korea sells to african countries, and that being said there are still areas that china could put

this is a very, very dangerous time in the korean peninsula. a couple days ago the north korean test fired an intercontinental ballistic missile. it went about 500 kilometers into the sea of japan. condemned of course by the united states, japan, by south korea. the trump administration is viewing this as a very serious matter. this is considered a real test of the trump administration. this is kim jong-un's pattern. he does things like this when a new administration takes office. this was a real case as seen by the allies out there and making many of the allies including the south koreans pushing hard for this new missile defense system, which the u.s. and south korea want to install inside south korea. it's called thad. it's designed to shoot missiles like this out of the sky. the chinese and russians have been resisting that. there's a real push now today to deploy that missile system and now this development tonight with kim jong-un's half brother just adding to the intrigue. is there turmoil in the inner circle. big question tonight. >> a

keir simmons has more now from the korean peninsula. >> reporter: view many people here believe this was a test not just of the north korean missile but of president trump himself. this projectile was fired and it's believed by the u.s. to have been an intermediate range ballistic missile, fired from the northwest of north korea. it traveled around 310 miles toward japan before landing in the sea short of japanese waters. but just as president trump was meeting with the japanese prime minister. south korea has condemned the test and said that it believes that this was a deliberate attempt to challenge the new administration's tough line. remember, the defense secretary was here earlier this month, vowing to strengthen south korea's defenses and remember, too, that 28,500 u.s. service men and women are based in this country. but what really worries people, particularly the u.s. defense officials, is that the north koreans appear to be trying to develop a longer range nuclear capable missile. kim jong-un, leader of north korea, said recently they're in the final stages of developing th

id landed somewhere between japan and the south korean peninsula. the last time that north korea had launched a ballistic missile was back in october. it happened really just hours before one of the big presidential debates. so, clearly, north korea and its leader, kim jong un, has a history of liking to coincide these missile launches with big events that are happening here in the united states. they like the kind of attention that it receives when it does that, and clearly that -- it got a response from president trump tonight. over the last year, north korea's attempted 24 missile launches and two nuclear tests. and then you look back to what north korean leader kim jong un said during his annual new year's address, and he essentially said that preparations for launching an intercontinental ballistic missile have reached the final stages, so ominous warnings leading up to the missile launchen tonight. but this is the first time that north korea has really launched a missile since president trump has taken office. a clear provocation towards this

planned and would be positioned in the southern part of the south korean peninsula, but does this latest provocation bolster their argument that they need it there? >> well, it certainly gives proponents of the system some juice, saying we have not heard from north korea in terms of a missile test since january, but this is something we need in order to ensure not only the safety of south koreaens but also the u.s. interest, and even in u.s. interests out on the island of guam. people who are not in favor of that would come back and say by deploying t.h.a.d., you would only encourage the chinese, who are very much against the deployment of this system, and you are only going to provoke the chinese into not going along with u.s. interests in this particular part of the world and you are only going to provoke the north koreans further. >> let's play once more the president's comments last night from florida where he talked about standing behind japan. i think it's important that we kind of try to understand why that statement was so brief. i think we have it. let me know when we have it, i

missile launch that may involve new sanctions and an increase in military assets in and around the korean peninsula. >> an estimated 20,000 people marched today in mexico city demanding respect for their country. the marchers protested mr. trump's plans for a wall along the u.s./mexico border and increased deportations of immigrants. mexicans have gone for a unity in facing the challenge. one of the banners read gracias trump for unifying mexico. several other marches were held in other cities. thousands gathered to demand the resignation of their nation's leadership. determine -- demonstrators used lights from their phones to create a huge armenian flag. the justice minister resigned last week following widespread outrage over an emergency ordinance that demonstrators say would weaken efforts to fight corruption. >>> in weather thankfully we have a break for this weekend and over the next few days of the storms that will reopen by next thursday. we want to update you on the flood warnings out in butte county. the whole area shaded in red is the flood warning. it just depends on what happ

peninsula. we do have trade and defense pacs with not only japan but other countries in the theater. and not only are u.s. troops on the peninsula and korea defending -- south korea, defending that country, but there are also canadians, poles, australians, new zealanders and a whole bunch of other people who are there since the 1953 truce. this is one of those kind of things where i think mr. trump is saying, wow, there's a lot more to this than i thought during the campaign. i can't be as blustery and say some things without the consideration that, you know, what i said to one country today might affect another country tomorrow. >> mark, that's what i was going to ask you. what we saw, what we saw during that statement, ultimately, sounded quite a lot like what we would have seen two months ago around previous u.s. administration. mark, we'll have to leave it there for just a second. of course, we're going to continue our coverage. you know, thank you for watching our coverage of north korea's

the estimates are in the first few hours of a war on the korean peninsula, the deaths in south korea would number in the hundreds of thousands, largely because of the use of chemical agents fired from artillery tubes. >> you called this an unstable regime currently we see as relatively unpredictable. they're testing missiles. what threat could they pose not just to their neighbors but to the united states? >> well, at present north korea has three missiles that can reach the lower 48 states. they have not been able to make a nuclear weapon to them yet, but that's just a matter of three, four, maybe five years. because they already are able to mate a nuke to their intermediate-range missiles. north korea has identified the u.s. as its primary adversary. i'm not so sure that's what they really believe but their propaganda says that. we see all these videos of washington, d.c. going up in smoke. we now have to take this seriously because you have a regime with a very low threshold of risk. >> forbes columnist gordan chang, thank you for your insight. >>> president obama was sighted a li

for the people of the korean peninsula. adding it quote clearly shows the nature of kim jong-un's rationality maniacally obsessed. in its nuclear and ballistic missile development. as for the people on the streets in south korea, i need to tell you, and also in japan. they have seen these types of launches for years. i have been there seven times. they're so used to it. no one so far has run for the bomb shelters, george. >> bob woodruff, thank you very much. let's go to jon karl at the white house. a terse statement from president trump. what are you hearing overnight? >> reporter: we heard the president say that the united states stands behind japan 100%. one senior white house official that i spoke to said they have no doubt, they believe this was timed to happen just as the president was sitting down with dinner with the prime minister of japan. clearly a test not just of the missile but of the new president. one official told me that they see this as a semiprovocative act. not a superprovocative act. because all indica

what i want to say is that to address the nuclear issue on the korean peninsula, there have always been two main pathways. one is dialogue, the second, confrontation. at what weook back have experienced during the past ,ecade from 2003 to 2009 have not been going on the nuclear issue. on the peninsula, there have been setbacks. while there was negotiation, nuclear development was under effective management and control , and the overall stability of the peninsula was upheld. 2009, the sixince -- talks suffered suffered a deadlock. what we have seen ever since then, this issue on the peninsula has embarked on the track of confrontation. we see nuclear tests, and then sanctions on nuclear tests. this is a bad circle, and should be stopped. ae ultimate result of such lose-loseld be a result for all parties. and no one can bear the outcomes. we believe there are still opportunities for the resumption of the six party talks. we still hope for peace. we should earnestly and include all security council resolutions, including the recent wanted to 17 -- the recent 22-17 and 22-31. these were ena
