at all. there is no indication from the south koreans aware of it. as we know, nothing from the white house as yet on this issue. it seems perhaps it happened. perhaps it didn't. what are the consequences of it? south koreans say let them form a bond so they can solve problems together. they are hopeful if that phone call was made in the overall picture it would at least be useful. >> nic robertson, thank you. at least three people dead and dozens injured after a 5.3 magnitude earthquake hit in japan overnight in oosaka. train service is suspended across osaka. a graduation party turned deadly over the weekend. someone inside the packed nightclub detonated a can of tear gas after a brawl broke
