well there's a bunch of them initially but the but in tackling the nuclear program on the korean peninsula we must prevent an armed conflict that would inevitably bring about a humanitarian economic and environmental disaster it was an all parties must show restraint and reserve let me remind you that in every un security council resolution on the korean peninsula its side sanctions their statements about the need to return to negotiations there is no alternative to a diplomatic settlement. the russians as you can see here from that are really worried that the equilibrium is being upset. in in north korea that the the united states is pushing hard for more sanctions and so on the russians are going along with that but what he's saying is up to a point because any any thing that really ruptures the status quo can lead to what he said were cooked that would be catastrophic consequences ok prague where thank you. back to our top story we were telling you about the fighting between iraq and kurdish forces happening right now we'll cross over to stephanie decker she is actually on the erbil kir

russia warns any break up of the iranian nuclear deal could affect the situation on the korean peninsula. hello kurdish peshmerga are sending reinforcements to the front line north of where their battle. iraqi forces. a bridge was blown up near the town of cooper oh as the sides exchanged mortar and rocket fire the kurds took up new positions on the road between erbil and kerr kook on thursday three days after they pulled out of the city well two and a cooper all lies near the border between kurdish and iraqi federal areas about forty kilometers northwest off occurred kook stephanie decker is on the erbil curfew cry away and you're just a few kilometers away from that front line stephanie tell us about it and what more you're hearing about these clashes. the fighting continues from what we understand were a couple of kilometers away as you mention we have seen smoke in the distance and just looking at the road really tells you a story immense military reinforcements being sent by the peshmerga counterterrorism forces also a lot of trucks with ammunition and you checkpoint has been set up

obviously they don't want conflict on the korean peninsula. think they realized there were at a point in again miscalculation or lack of communication could precipitate something. and i think china would be an active player if they felt that we see north korea, though they're not happy, they have a decent friendship but north korea serves a purpose for china so, i don't think they want to see the u.s. to something in north korea that would upset this equation where they have an ally and in some ways they probably view north korea the fact of the matter is, searcher. i think china will be protected of that and concerned if we should unilaterally in consultation with our allies to something i think they need to be part of any discussion about what plans and intentions would be. our allies -- i'm gonna on lea unleash the audience on you know. it's difficult for me to see. i do want to get to the press section before you finish up but perhaps students who are members of the community. >> and if you don't mind keeping your question short will get t

president trump and i naturally discussed the situation on the korean peninsula. we strongly oppose the nuclearization of the korean peninsula as it affects the peace and stability of the region and like the u.s. we condemn the dpr ks dangerous provocation. these pose a serious threat to regional and international peace and stability. shared with president trump what singapore has done to pressure and isolate the dprk, going beyond u.n. security council resolutions. but there's no quick and easy solution. pressure is necessary. but so is dialogue. the u.s. will need to work with others, including china, south korea and japan and russia to resolve the issue. president trump will be visiting china in a few weeks time as part of his first visit to asia. singapore, like many other countries, watched your relations with china very closely. it's a most important bilateral relationship in the world. china is the u.s.' third largest export market for goods and services, for are agricultureal experts, the second highest, soybeans, cotton and farming machinery and as the in

ronald reagan has played a leading role in a week of intense military exercises off the korean peninsula in what some see as a dangerous game of brinkmanship. rather grim and u.s. navy forces. have by their actions demonstrate. our commitment result of an ability to defend the rank of korea and maintain security and stability on the korean peninsula the u.s.s. ronald reagan is a one hundred thousand ton nuclear powered aircraft carrier with five thousand sailors on board this week they perform nineteen f. eighteen super hornet saudis in the yellow sea and the sea of japan the mission here is almost complete but the message of these war exercises is loud and clear. my brother. north korea has condemned the exercises calling them a rehearsal for war at a nuclear nonproliferation conference in moscow a north korean diplomat said the united states would have to put up with its nuclear status as for the d.p. this is the matter of life and death and the present situation for the strengthens our belief they we should strongly hold to the nuclear weapons to deter if possible u.s. attacks as the

troops on the korean peninsula are a bigger threat than north korean mischief. i think that exists. my sense is that i think it's less prevalent in think tanks and less prevalent frankly in more senior levels but i think it's very much there as a view. and i think, to your point, when china and russia joined with a freeze for freeze proposal, suggesting they freeze their tests, which i think freezing tests is not going to freeze that nuclear program. in return for our freezing exercises, if i were a north korean, i would have gladly accepted that. so i think that does kind of represent what you're addressing. but i'll close by saying, you know, if we solve this thing and we turn around and say how do we solve it, i think it's very unlikely that we would have or will have solved it without cooperation with china. and to the extent that we can solve it, i think we will probably find that working with china, being focused, being relentless and not just episodic and not just with tweets, but a really serious effort with china was one of the main elements in our having solved it. so i ju

>> the chinese government wants to see a denuclearized korean peninsula. that is one of their main key objectives. they also want there not to be chaos, war, and war on the korean peninsula for obvious reasons. it's right on their border. but their main goal for the current process is to denuclearize and rid the crane peninsula of those programs. >> if that's true, then why isn't the chinese government doing everything that it can to achieve that goal? >> well, i think that they've done a lot. >> no, i'm talking about you know, full-on maximum effort, max mux restrictions on trade, maximum restrictions on doing business with north korea. why -- if that's true, then why hasn't the chinese government exerted the kind of authority and force on a diplomatic and on a sanctioned regime that would achieve that result? >> it's hard for me to get exactly to inside what their policy process is and what they're thinking. what i would say is that the calculus that they have about the line between war and chaos and getting to denukization might be slightly different th

and he -- korean peninsula. and he does not want to have two open-sore conflicts with potential nuclear states on different sides of the world at the same time. secondly, it's the view of most people in the defense establishment, certainly in the pentagon, that if they are going to confront iran for its support of terrorism, for its activities in syria, they would much rather confront a non-nuclear iran. and there is no indication right now that iran is producing more uranium or enriching any plutonium that would move them toward a weapon. and those restrictions, if they are abided by, would stay in place for another 13 1/2 years. so mattis' view is, let's worry about this as we get closer to the deadline. charlie: basically he's saying, look, this deal put iran further from being able to build a nuclear weapon than it was without the deal. >> and i don't think there's any question about that. most of the israeli military establishment says that as well. although prime minister netanyahu also refers to it as a d

it is an alliance designed to ensure peace and stability in the korean peninsula and the strongest military defense of our shared democratic values. sec. mattis: thank you.

and that there will be more american forces around the korean peninsula. he did pretty well, it looked like, with president xi and his two other meetings with the state counselors and the foreign minister. then he met a group of us in the living room of the american ambassador to china. and in the course of that he said that in fact the united states had what he called a couple or three channels of communication opened in north korea. and this enraged trump when he read our stories about it the next morning. because he believes it's not time to talk to north korea yet. and so he immediately turned out a series of tweets that appeared to undercut secretary tillerson and led to all the drama this week about whether the secretary would quit. charlie: regardless of whether the president was angry about it, is it a fact that we do have these channels of communication with the north koreans that american diplomats are talking to chinese diplomats? >> we have channels but from everything i hear, there's not much running through those channels. we have a telephone

what more can you tell us about these two us bombers on a training exercise in the korean peninsula? it is notable but routine that these bombers took pa rt but routine that these bombers took part in this mission. to us b—i bombers flew with ella paynes from the japanese and south korean air force. —— aeroplanes. we understand the exercise took place outside nbc ofjapan, to the exercise took place outside nbc of japan, to the east of the korean peninsula. controversial a few weeks ago, some b—i bombers went closer to the north korean coast and cause the north koreans to complain about that. those planes flew further north than they had ever been. this was not one of those exercises. this is one of the joint ones involving south korean, japanese, and american air planes, just training for any possible scenarios. and of course, we tensions high in the region, we are closer to military action and as we have been for many decades. what about the hacking incident that the north koreans stole military documents from south korea? pyongyang has denied it. due to make a gate. the all

warship is reportedly heading towards the korean peninsula for more drills with the . political analyst we spoke to says there's still no united policy towards pyongyang coming from washington. we do not see a credible strategy on the part of that on those from administration it is not prepared to negotiate to offer a grand bargain and it does not really have a credible military strategy at the time at this stage surgical strike against north korean nuclear. capabilities are also very risky such a surgical strike will be opposed by south korea as well as strongly by china and russia and we also know for sure that diplomatic condemnation and economic sanctions are not going to push north korea to give up is new program pins program more news in ninety seconds stay with us. what politicians do you should continue. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to be rich. if you're going to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters of. course should. follow

flying b-1b bombers over the korean peninsula. that's important, because that's a move that is seen as a provocation by pyongyang. it's a move flarankly enrages them. and you'll remember back in the summer, it was the flights of some of those bombers that prompted the regime to threaten to land missiles in the waters near the u.s. territory guam if the pacific in retaliation for those baomber flights. of course, those bombers take off from the base in guam. as of yet, no response from pyongyang. but certainly, we are waiting more it and we'll keep you up to speed when we hear anything. >> and the reaction seems to carry with it some kind of reaction. alexand alexandra field, thanks so much. >>> the california wildfires growing by the minute. we have a very troubling forecast. breaking news, coming up. it produces 530 cubic feet of the #1 rair per minute, blower. delivers superior loosening power, and runs for an hour on a single charge. exclusively at the home depot and ego authorized dealers. >>> good morning, everyone. top of th
