the first one is how valid is thaad for south korea? is there enough time to respond to any kind of attack because the missile wouldn't have to travel that far to do damage. number two, you said they had been developing better mobile launchers, does that mean that doesn't that limit the range of the missile if it is not in fixed silo, doesn't that limit the size of the missile and how far it can go and how effective would it be and how do we defend against it? guest: it is dichl difficult to defend against it. telefor teleporter, but in order for those missiles to be effective, they need to have solid fuel because a missile you put on launch pad and fill with luquid fuel, you can see that, see the fuelling process, take that on the launch pad easily, if you are able to use solid fuel in your missile, cuhave missiles that are on launchs and yes, they could have extended range and as far as the question about how effective thaad for south korea, it wouldn't be effective against short and medium intermediate range missiles that go up at hi

so a role i guess you could say it's positive for south korea in the bigger picture. in terms of the korean won, where is it headed, there are concerns they might be labelled a currency manipulator by the americans. this is the thing, nobody is pricing into asia this year so far, i think that the secretary would be ready by early april with regards to labelling or not labelling countries currency manipulators. if china is in that list then south korea will either be number two or three on the list in all honesty. this is something that could impact on the won later on in the year. definitely the trajectory of us interest rates with regards to the federal reserve will also have its impact as well. i would expect to see the won gradually weakening over the next couple of months. very briefly, you talk about the potential front runners, the likes of mr moon potential front runners, the likes of mrmoon and potential front runners, the likes of mr moon and others, how will that impact the cosy relationship we are seeing with the south korean government and the huge conglom

think he can attack south korea on the margins or use force against south korea now that he has this nuclear threat at his disposal. with all that happening secretary of defense mattis and others are right to say all of our options are on the table. we don't want the north to think we are intimidated. but if we actually struck north korea and they struck back, in the end their countries could be destroyed but they could unleash hundreds of missiles on japan and thousands on south korea, probably armed with chemical, being or possibly nuclear war heads. it is a very ugly option but they are right to keep it on the table. the more likely military action would be to try to shoot down a north korean missile test with the agis missile defense system. i don't know if that's the administration's plan, but that one is a strong response that doesn't have the same risk. but they are going to have to look at those tougher stances given how kim jong-un is just racing towards this nuclear capability. >> i was actually out looking at the 7th fleet when we were in tokyo yesterday, the day before, w

north korea has scornfully rejected south korea's suggestion that pyongyang could lose its un seat because of the alleged use of chemical weapons to kill the half—brother of north korea's leader in malaysia. a senior north korean diplomat has called south korea's remarks "despicable, irresponsible, impertinent and illogical". the diplomat who's at a disarmament conference in geneva also denied that north korea had ever produced or stockpiled or used chemical weapons. two women implicated in the assassination of kimjong—nam, who was killed with a nerve agent, could face the death penalty if found guilty. well, 25—year—old siti aisyah from indonesia — she is expected to be formally charged today — but she insists she's innocent. rebecca henschke reports from her village in serang, west java. this village is not used to this kind of attention. but this is siti's house, one of the best in the village. it is getting a lot of attention from the government and the media. the family inside are refusing to speak. the local government here to provide comfort to her father. they governmen
