when the south korean consulate first arrived in north korea through smuggling, north korean authorities tried measures to prevent it. even by conducting public arrestsns, and rampant of the people who watched south korean movies and dramas. but, whatever measures they take, the demand for south korean culture has increased. learnedh korean regime that that kind of enforcement cannot solve the problem. that is why, for the past few years, they are now developing their own footage to prevent north korean population to watch south korean movies and dramas. how? the decided to open archives of kim jong-il, and decided to filter those foreign films from the former soviet union and former socialist eastern european countries to find out the films which can meet the demand of enjoyment for the north korean people. theow, if you are in pyongyang streets, there are stores where they sell dvd discs with hundreds of russian films, former east german films, chinese films, and even these days, american cartoons like tom and jerry, lion king, or beauty and the beast, for the children. they learned, i

2900 north korean. at the time one keep a price was 3400. the one-month salary i cannot even afford to buy one kilo of rice. the north korean system is -- people just take it as granted because their use to this kind of stupidity for a long time. then nobody thinks strange. that's why we should educate north korean people that every endocrine system are entitled for proper payment. >> is it in your sense, your experience is a something that should be done in high production qualities, or is it more important it is coming from people, as you mentioned there were the connections, north koreans and south koreans share the bonds come something that should be done showing just everyday life in south korea? >> no, every light in north korea i mean. >> but showing to the north koreans what it's like every light in south korea, that there is opportunity that someone gets a fair days wage for a fair days work, that there is opportunity to raise your family and give them a better future than what their parents ar

an american ally like poland are still aligned north korean -- are still allowing north korean workers. measures can be taken. government cannot ask arab allies to do more. chairman royce: if i could interrupt, we have passed sanctions legislation which allows us to deploy sanctions against of those entities, and we should be doing that. that is a good point. mr. brad schneider of thank youd thank you for providing this opportunity. it was an honor to be with the chairman in south korea in august. i thank you for that time. i appreciate you sharing your experiences. it is very important that you are here. one of the things you mentioned is that as the elite in north korea get promoted, it entails increasing risk. given that, what would be the impact of providing more opportunities for the elite to defect, and how might the international community create those opportunities? a i think we should have tailor-made -- for north koreans to defect. korea,i defect to south i started -- i studied the system of south korea, what can i do, in my future in south korea? i searched on the internet b

korean system collapse but that is not a really the truth, because north korean defectors and north korean population, they have a place to go if -- once they arrive china. they have south korea, which would look to accommodate all north korean defectorsom china. so the chinese argument they would cover or they would burden all the economic -- the cost of north korean refugees is not true because there is a government of south korea, which can accommodate all of those people north korea defectors. so we should continue to ask chinese government to open the exit route for north korean defectors to go to south korea. we'll ask -- we should ask chinese government to let establish a kind of camps for north korean defectors, for temporary stay and for continuation of their journey to south korea. i think that is the thing we should do. and chinese is the member of refugee convention. that is why as the country, chinese government has obligations to observe its interan obligation by letting north koreaian detectors to go to china, and the second thing, the idea -- the personal cult, cultu

the north koreans have targeted the president. are you confident about security and if you heard any of the rumors about targeting pyongyang? >> with whenever the president travels 13 dozen assessment and we are short of capable forces in the region. that's routine for us is to take the lead into consideration. >> how do you assess president xi to consolidate his power. does that make it easier for north korea are hard or? >> i think what the president will do is build on an already strong relationship that they developed that mar-a-lago but also a substantive policy dialogue we have especially on the security side. in mar-a-lago and indeed since then at the g20 four example multiple phonecalls between president trump and president xi. i would highlight three elements of that foundation for the u.s. chinese and the multinational approach to north korea. the first of these is a recognition that north korea is not just a threat to united states. in the old days you would hear this is really a problem between north korea and the unit

but the north korean regime missed something very important. as we have said before, being a nuclear power comes with certain standards. it comes with being responsible enough to know that you don't threaten other countries with nuclear weapons. you don't starve your own people in order to fund nuclear weapons, you don't bully and play games with nuclear weapons. the regime has shown time and again that it doesn't want to talk. kim didn't even speak with president xi's envoy when he was sent to talk to the regime. it has emphatically said it will will not eliminate its nuclear production and north korea is in clear violation of multiple security council resolutions. we are once again at a time of reckoning. we have some options. first, we should continue to treat north korea as the international pariah it has become by taking its u.n. rights and privileges away including its voting power. the main driver of its nuclear production is oil. through sanctions we have cutoff 90% of north korean trade and 30% of its oil but the crude oil remai remain

north koreans are closer to developing a nuclear capable icbm. it has been the policy of several administrations the u.s. without accepting north korea capable of striking the united states with nuclear weapons. ont i disagree with mcmaster is that the president's administration has been clear in its approach to north korea. if you look at statements for the president and other senior officials, there have been various endorsements of diplomacy, criticisms of diplomacy, saying the united states seeks regime change in that it does not seek regime change. when he speaks with the national assembly, is a key opportunity for him to clarify his position and make the case for time running out and 10:00 eastern. and check out our free c-span radio app. we are here with sebastian gorka, warmer senior adviser to trump. what is the message? guest: the message is that we can defeat groups like al qaeda.

the north koreans may see things in a different light. i'm looking forward to hear in the comment of the expert here. guest: you bring up two very important issues. the role of china on the korean peninsula is absolutely critical. china represents 90% of north korean trade. acted as a defense attorney for north korea. watering down international sanctions and making sure whatever sanctions are placed through the un security council, there is enough loopholes and openings so as to not cause too much economic pain and north korea and potentially triggering a collapse of the regime, which is one of the things china is concerned about. i expect this will be the top of president trump's agenda when he meets with chinese president xi jinping. recently china has been doing more to book our pressure on north korea. they have been enforcing andtions more aggressively allowing stronger sanctions to go through in the un security council. there is more they could be doing. more of the united states will be looking for them to do to maximize that pres

>> the only thing that is ratcheting up north korea's aggression is that the north korean regime itself. so what's important is for us to have the capabilities necessary and have them in the right locations to deter conflict and if necessary to be able to respond to north korean aggression and we're doing that with our allies and with partners in the region. primarily over at south korean allies who are under the gun of that regime and have since the armistice in 1953. so we are working together with our allies every day to make sure we have the highest degree of readiness and of course you seen the most recent problem or some of the most recent provocations involving missile launches over japan. and north korea poses a great threat to our allies in japan as well. this is a global threat that requires a global response. improving our military readiness, ensuring that we have the right assets including strategic asset in the region. it's immensely important to preventing conflict and then making sure that we are prepared to respond. >>. >> general, there are some foreign policy experts w

there are north koreans who hang out in new york we talk to them. there are north koreans who travel around the world and we talk to them too. the problem is everyone knows when they see rex tillerson or rex tillerson's guy he doesn't necessarily speak for the united states. because every time he says something about negotiations the president tweets forget about negotiations. he tweets stop wasting your time rex tillerson. sure negotiations have failed, nothing works until it works. that begs the question what else are you going to do? war would be a nightmare scenario. so negotiation is what we have to do. >> what's stopping president trump from attacking north korea? is there any way congress can? >> if president trump decides to attack north korea today he can do it. there's nobody to stop him, not the secretary of defense, congress, allies. >> no authorization needed. >> he is the guy with his finger on the button. what's stopping him is the fact once he does that we're in a new world where the north koreans will retaliate, millions of south ko

we will together confront north korea's actions and prevent the north korean dictator from threatening millions of innocent lives. he is indeed threatening millions and millions of lives. so needlessly. >> so the president there, again, offering a more measured tone, if you will, certainly from the speech he gave to the united nations a couple of months action oh wh months ago talking about rocketman. he's cast thg as indeed a worldwide problem. casting this as something that the global community must continue to squeeze through sanctions and other means but, again, importantly did not rule out military force at all. in fact in very stark language, talked about the fact that the u.s. and its allies were indeed ready to do that, should they be provok provoked. but certainly an interesting moment tore this president visiting the korean peninsula for the first time some 35 miles away from the north korean border here, a measured but still firm approach towards the north korea regime. >> all right. thanks. >> joining us now, cnn political analyst josh rogin. >> good morning. >> anything su

new information on the north korean missile launch. jennifer griffin. >> we have just confirmed with a senior u.s. defense official this intercontinental ballistic missile fired by north korea flute 2800 miles into space. remember, the u.s. space station is fine at about 250 miles outside of the earth's atmosphere. 2800 miles into space, if lou for 50 minutes, but that is why it came so close to japan, not far from the korean peninsula, because it was fine so long ands atmosphere. 2800 miles. this is only the third intercontinental ballistic missile test that the north koreans had ever carried out. two were carried out in july. that test in september flew over japan, but it was not a icbm. this is certainly a game changing moment in terms of the ballistic missile program of the north koreans. >> shepard: jennifer, thank you. the president discussion in the roosevelt room has been pushed to 3:30, we are not 40 minutes away from that. john roberts, after a day of political gamesmanship with the democrats the president sent out a tweet. i

he wants his help on the north korean nuclear threat. he wants concessions on closing the trade gap. what does he want from president trump? why the flattery? why the symbolism? why so much pomp and circumstance? >> could be because this president has the toughest language of any president about the chinese trade relationship and what china should be doing with north korea. >> oops, the camera is going dark there. nice night at the opera. >> very nice. this visit, the dinner there says as much about trump as it does xi. some view him as an emperor-like figure in china right now. >> we'll continue to watch the pictures as they come out of the president's trip to china. >>> meanwhile, back at home, vice president mike pence heading to sutherland springs, texas. he will visit with the victims of the deadly mass massacre. we have details about the gunman who killed 25 people and unborn child. devin kelley escapeed from a behavioral health facility months after he was accused of abusing his ex-wife and her child. >> he was sent for pretrial c

a north korean bank would not have had assets in the united states. because we had already prohibited that activity. but the impact of sanctions is it's freezing the assets in the united states, so no one around the world can use them. they're being used by banks around the world. so that's the impact is making sure that not just in the united states, but the rest of the world can follow suit and hit our alarm. >> it's not just banks that use the ofac sdn list, there are certain governments that actually will pursue parallel blocking actions on their own, based on an ofac sanction. so we do get a magnifying effect from a number of countries when ofa kprrks ta ark ofac takes action. >> a new york times article as a conservative article, i don't often cite the "new york times" articles. but in this case i think they have done some good work. it was reported in this "new york times" article that north korea may now be exporting less to china, but north korea may also be receiving trade credits from china, to finance continued imports, and of course these
