(laughter) it makes sense it's labeled, how else would the mailman know where to deliver the rainbows? (laughter) folks, listen to me here this has dangerous geopolitical ramifications because it gives historical legitimacy to the regime of kim jong-un by linking him to an ancient ruler who according to korea's history books road a unicorn and, as a key qlan, he road it gangnam style.

north korea spent more than $1 billion on that rocket launch, north korea, even as their own people starve and suffer. and while the world is focusing on the rocket, our focus tonight is something that you may not know. north korea operates a network of concentration camps, political prisons, where some 150,000 people men, women, and children are forced to live, work, and often die. we'll take you inside where the most notorious camp is called camp 14. i spoke with a young man who was actually born inside that camp as prisoner, raised there, managed to escape and lived to tell the world about what goes on inside, as part of a system of three generations of punishment, where they not just punish one person accused of a crime, but three generations from that person's family. it's an incredible story, and i urge you to watch it. plus, a story about an ex-marine, a u.s. marine, who says he was just trying to get to costa rica to go surfing, instead he was arrested at the border and thrown in a mexican prison. that's where he is tonight, all for an old shotgun he says he registered properly whe

. >> these images showed people celebrating in north korea. tonight, a u.s. official tells cnn, there are early signs the koreans are not in total control of the device. but a north korean-government run tv, the news anchor was giddy with excitement. keeping them honest. pyongyang reportedly spent more than $1 billion on their missile program this year alone, money they could feed a lot of hungry, starving people in north korea. but while much of the world is talk about missiles tonight, there is a crime against humanity occurring in that country. a crime that receives very little attention. as i said, some 150,000 people are believed to be doing hard labor on the brink of starvation, in a network of hidd hidden gulags. the prisons house their entire families. grandparents, parents, children. it's a system called three generations of punishment. imagine if you were accused of a crime and sent to a concentration camp. but to truly punish you, they would send your parents and your children. three generations of your family simply disappeared. th

policy for north korea. spyder, let me begin with you. the secretary is not necessarily calling this a success. barbara starr is reporting that the u.s. doesn't think that korea has any control out of this, short of saying it's tumbling out of control, they're not in full control. does that matter? is this splitting hairs or semantics, or is this really still quite a leg that they have now up in this battle? >> i think it's significant that they were able to establish the capability of launching a three-stage rocket. i think we will determine whether they were able to put a tip or at least some form of a satellite into an orbit and then what's it doing up there, at this point, is not significant. we shouldn't worry that that was an armed or a nuclearized or a weaponized tip. i think they just wanted, primarily, to establish the ability to launch it into an extra atmospheric type of orbit, and they were able to do that with a three-stage rocket. the real concern that we would have is how do they weaponize that. but this clearly is a provoc

koreans were korea's nuclear facilities but we have to remember that north korea is one of many times but its territorial integrity so i think will happen is if south korean drones for example penetrate in the very air space this could potentially start a huge conflict and if you look at the results of that latest offering elections the president will work in hey she campaigned on the model of. reaching. into the relations with north korea going will get easier for you but i think what this shows is that i purchase to these rooms or having the energy to at least the ruling party doesn't really have any plans to change its foreign policy trajectory in any need for i don't think north korea it will attack anyone elicit spoke first and if we look at the board speaking out of south korea or south korea and the scientists that will defeat settling this for me you orbit around a small function and reports say that machining were done on the galaxy three missile that they watched was for food so i think what the real danger is and it is in north korea pursuing these tests and was staking we

on the other side of the pacific, more saber rattling by north korea. the secretive regime announced today it will pry again to test launch a new long-range rocket. anna werner is in washington tonight. >> reporter: president kim jong-un said his country will test another long-range rocket this month. north korea describes it as an observe space satellite, but south korean and washington officials said it is anything but. south korea charged it's really a long-range missile in disguise, and here in washington, asia expert victor cha agrees. >> there should be no doubt in anybody's mind even though they call should a civilian launch it is a ballistic missile test. >> satellite activity shows an increase activity. north korea may be trying to prove that kim jong il's son, one year into his presidency has muscle. any missile test will increase tensions between north korea and the united states. today, the state department called the move "a highly provocative act that threatens peace and security in the region." cha says for good reason. >> if this missile

technology north korea is banned from such tests by u.n. resolutions the security council condemned the launch saying it will consider an appropriate response while the e.u. is threatening yet more sanctions but antiwar campaigner erik cirrhotic and says talks are the only solution to the ongoing impasse. these are causes that have not less talks and the north koreans have been willing to attend talks other nations have certainly russia has another nations are that involved in the six party talks. are just japan south korea the united states are less. willing to engage in talks when these things happen but what the u.n. said was not only don't use ballistic missile technology it said we must have a commitment to a peaceful diplomatic and political solution to the situation there and. that's what is really crying out and i think russia and other countries must finally say now wait a while is the little oblong but i'm afraid that the united states is going to step back talk less isolate more of the military base that the united states brought

efficiently i spoke with who used to work on north north korea for the defense department told me, there are still areas in which north korea has not made it as far as they would need to in terms of getting an accurate rocket, in terms of getting heat shielding, and in terms of making a nuclear war head signal enough to fit on the end of that missile. but the real danger is what it may do with this technology in terms of giving it over to other nations. >> chris lawrence, thank you. >>> john berman with other stories making news. >>> the united states officially recognizing syria's opposition coalition as the representative of the syrian people. it's just a show of support. it is does not mean america will arm rebel forces. president obama talked about why the decision was made right now. >> the syrian opposition coalition is now inclusive enough. reflective and representative enough of the syrian population, that we consider them the legitimate representative of the syrian people in the asass regime. >>> hugo chavez, recovering from six hours of surgery in cuba this morning. the fourth

he has written about north korea. what is going on there? >> north koreans want to launch and people focus on political issues, for instance this is the first anniversary of kim jong-un's rule because his dad died in the middle of december. i think it is because iran. iranians want a long-range missile. the north koreans have to test it to know it works and north koreans need the cash and iranians will not buy something that fails. jenna: that is interesting. since that time, iran says we're not in any sort of business with north korea. that's what they say. >> right. jenna: it is up to us to be skeptical to look into this. what makes you really believe the connection is being made? >> we know who is in another cree for iran. it is rep sentsd -- representatives of the industrial group. they are the people who at the end of last decade, two decades ago bought north korea's nadong missile and repainted with iranian colors and gave it to the armed forces and unveiled as the shahab-3. this connection goes back 15, 20 years. jenna: you say irania

of course north korea has claimed success in the face of failure before. we need to wait for official confirmation. we understand that the united states and south korean officials are working closely to try to figure out whether it is a success. as far as the north koreans are concerned, they say it was. . obviously often they do announce things for audience. we have had confirmation here from the south korean side the blue house which is the equivalent of the white house, presidential compound saying they condemn this launch saying it is a clear violation of u.n. sanctions. it's a challenge and threat to peace and stablgt not only of northeast asia but of the world. the blue house has also pointed out the money spent on the rocket launch would be better looking after the people of north korea. a few days ago we had a figure given from with one of the ministry who said the rocket launch, building the space station could have cost $1.3 billion and apparently according to the unification ministry that could affect the people of north korea for four to five y

north korea has just tested another missile. we'll talk to paula hancocks shortly who will join us from south korea shortly. on the phone is pentagon correspondent barbara starr. what are you hearing out of the pentagon? >> reporter: anderson, at this hour, u.s. officials are looking at all the incoming intelligence trying to figure out exactly what north korea has launched. the news agencies across asia, say it was a three-stage long-range rocket. that's the kind of rocket that has the u.s. most worried because it can have intercontinental range. but the question is exactly what did they launch, how far did it fly, what kind of capability it had because you know they had that failed test back in april. if they were actually able to do more successful tests this time, so quickly after the failed one, how did they get better, who helped them? that's the question tonight. >> let's check in with paula hancocks who is joining us from seoul, south korea. do we know if this launch was successful? >> reporter: that's what everyone is t

north korea leaders have provided a boost for kim jong-un. officials say they have succeeded in carrying out their latest launch and put a telle ino spe. they fired off a long range missile. the broadcaster was showing the footage continuously throughout the day on wednesday. the red characters on the white missile fuselage read the milky way in korean. the footage shows what north korea says is the control room of the tongchang-ri launch site in the northwest of the country where images of the launch are being screened. >> translator: even countries with developed satellite technology have had many failed launches. buwe learned from e failure in april. we launched today's rocket with the conviction to succeed. >> the first stage fell into the yellow sea, west of the korean peninsula. then the nose cover fell a short distance beyond that. the second stage dropped into the pacific ocean east of the philippines. it's in an orbit used by telligence andbservation satellites. the object seems to be orbiting south north at an altitude of 494 kilome

koreans and north korea's nuclear facilities however we have to remember that north korea is one of many times but its territorial integrity so i think will happen is if south korean drones for example penetrate north korean airspace this could potentially start a huge conflict and if you look at the results of that latest offering elections the president will let him hey she campaigned on a model of. reaching. into relations with north korea and going will get easier but i think what this shows is that my purchasing these drones are having the intention to at least the ruling party doesn't really have any plans to change its foreign policy trajectory in any meaningful way i don't think north korea it will attack anyone who listens for book first and if we look at reports coming out of south korea or south korea and the scientists it looked at the satellite this morning you orbit around a small function and reports say that the machining work done on the galaxy three missile that they watched was very crude so i think what the real danger is and it is in north korea pursuing these t
