and just from being in pyongyang yesterday, i can tell you. some people are at work, some people are playing volleyball with their neighborhood volleyball teams and north koreans at this moment are unaffair this has happened. they're unaware of this storm blew broouing in the outside world. but when north korea announces this, nay will have likely their major news anchor, the woman we've seen for decades announcing the major events in north korea, she will give an enthusiastic announcement claiming victory for kim jong un. they will have photos, map, they'll likely show north korea's leader in some sort of a control room overseeing the event. and they will portray this to people as a victory, as another win, another step forward, another step down the road to a better future for the north korean feel. because that's what the regime tells its people. these nuclear tests and these missile launches are going to bring them a better, more prosperous future. they don't tell them, this is causing them to be more diplomatically isolated, that they fac

so there hasn't been too much movement from pyongyang from my experience in the capital of north korea. speaking to people who are close to the leadership there, speaking to officials. they need just as a short time ago in april told me face to face flatly they would never, i repeat never give up the nuclear program. they would never give up their missile program. they see it as a combination of national pride. they see it as also an element of survival. that they feel if they have the weaponry there, the nuclear weaponry there they stand less of a chance of being threatened by the united states. so far i haven't seen too much budging by north korea. one of my experts said it looked like china was having an effect in tempering the attitude of pyongyang because we hadn't seen another nuclear test. by all indications according to this information, today we have, robert. robert: it does appear that way. we are waiting for confirmation from north korea. gregg palkot we would like to thank you for your insight with your reporting and experiences on the ground in pyongyang. thanks again for

china has announced new measures to greatly increase the pressure on the regime in pyongyang. north korean companies operating in china will have to close down by the end of the year. the moves have been welcomed by the us government which believes chinese policy is now shifting. david campa nale reports. this is the sino—north korean friendship bridge, across it, flows many of the essential goods which the communist satellite state depends on. in return, the north relies on china for more than 90% of its international trade. for locals along the river border, jobs and prosperity are heavily dependent on this relationship continuing. but pyongyang's missile tests have prompted beijing to promise to act on un sanctions, after america accused it of not doing enough to rein in its neighbour. translation: security council resolutions gave a buffer period for implementation of the ban on coal and seafood imports. china's practice mentioned above is in accordance with the resolutions and china's laws and regulations of foreign trade. north korean companies in china must close down

pyongyang claims it successfully made a hydrogen bomb that can be fitted onto missiles capable of reaching america. at a un conference in geneva, north korea's ambassador was defiant. the recent self—defence measures by my country, dprk, are gift packages addressed to none other than the us. the us will receive more gift packages from my country, as long as it relies on reckless provocations and futile attempts to put pressure on the dprk. those attempts include further squeezing north korea's economy. but some don't think that's a good idea. translation: the use of sanctions of any kind in this case is already useless and inefficient. as i told my colleagues yesterday, they will eat grass, but they will not give up this programme if they do not feel safe. south korea doesn't feel safe either and so is setting up this american anti—missile defence system, designed to shoot down enemy rockets. and now president trump has said he is allowing japan and south korea to buy more sophisticated military equipment from the us. he's also agreed to remove limits on these south korean missiles, li

it was a test drill, south korea showing off how it could attack pyongyang's nuclear site. this is a strong reaction from a country that, for months now, has been desperately trying to avoid conflict in the korean peninsula. but in new york, at an emergency un security council meeting, south korea's closest ally said pyongyang seemed to be heading the other way. nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. kim jong—un shows no such understanding. his abusive use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. across the room, though, there was an opposing view from a country often seen as north korea's friend. china urged a diplomatic solution. translation: china will never allow chaos and war on the peninsula. the parties concerned must strengthen their sense of urgency, take due responsibilities, play their due roles. earlier in the day, the japanese government gave details about north korea's latest nuclear test. translation: the evidence suggests that the north conducted a hydrogen bomb test. the government had to conclude the test was a succ

it follows pyongyang's sixth and most powerful nuclear test. the us defence secretary, james mattis, warned that any threat would be met with a massive and overwhelming response and the white house said president trump was ready to use america's nuclear capabilities. this morning, the russian deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov said that any clumsy steps could ‘lead to an explosion‘. these are the latest pictures of a live fire missile exercise carried out by south korea in response to pyongyang's nuclear test. our correspondent robin brant reports. after the north exploded a nuclear device below ground, the south responded with this. a series of missile launches above ground. the military said they hit their target in the east sea early on monday. it was designed to replicate an attack on north korea's nuclear testing site. across the border over the weekend, this was how north koreans heard about the "perfect success" that was their nation's sixth nuclear missile test. it was more powerful than any before and came with claims that kim

pyongyang claims to have detonated a hydrogen bomb. the world was alerted when tremors were detected at a known testing site in the north—east of the country. earlier photos were released of north korean leader kim jong—un inspecting what was said to bea jong—un inspecting what was said to be a nuclear device. the state claims it could be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile. if confirmed, it means pyongyang can and these long—range missiles. weapons that put the us mainland within range. president trump responded on twitter, writing, the words and actions of north korea continued to be very hostile and dangerous to the united states. he added, talk of appeasement will not work, they only understand one thing. later, leaving church she was ask about military action. mr president, would you attack north korea? he said, we will see. for months the president of south korea has said talking to north korea was a solution. today he expressed outrage and disappointment. translation: north korea has made an absurd tactical m

assets.ook at risk you are not getting much in the way of reaction to pyongyang. nor to the downgraded china credit rating. we're seeing subdued moves. we are seeing the dollar give up some gains. that fed fueled rally is falling slightly. metals are on the back foot and we are seeing a plunge in iron ore. that is holding steady for now near a three-week low but with that could be creating a perfect storm for the aussie dollar. you can see that. this currency has touched a 50 day moving average. it has not traded below its technical level since june 6. it is keeping steady for now after its biggest loss since may. taking a look at the sydney share market moving higher this morning. thursday selloff, there is concern given the drop. three quarters of the index fell with volume more than 10% above the average. we are seeing it be kept on the up to date. while the yen is holding steady they may be smelling an opportunity given the policy divergence. you can see this on 5175. option traders are filing up against the yen. they are seeing the pair move .ast in the comin

has direct lines of communication with pyongyang. how big of a deal is this? >> listen, it's an important development but not necessarily a new development. a senior state department official says that these direct lines of communications were actually first opened during the discussions with ottowarmbier and we are just now hearing about this today thanks to something that the secretary of state rex tillerson said while on a trip over in beijing, he made the remarks just a few moments ago -- excuse me, a few hours ago and they have really gained a lot of traction since, he said, quote u we've asked them, we've asked pyongyang would you like to talk, we have lines communications to pyongyang, we are not in a dark situation or blackout, we have a couple of the channels open to pyongyang, we can talk to them and we do talk to them. but the real take away here is that just because the trump administration has these open lines of direct communication to pyongyang, just because they have them doesn't mean that they are actively using them to negotiate and according

i want to ask a question off of what pyongyang said. is his endgame to expert a nuclear power or to be recognized as a country that has the power to do so? >> you heard will's description of the north korean side. they say one thing. the importance is to hear what the u.s. say and others who have engaged with north korea and many are saying similar things, that north korea will not denuclear rise it. the outgoing head, director of national intelligence said it is probably now a lost cause to try to denuclearize. that was months after the test before that. we heard from former secretary of defense william perry. i've been speaking to these people for months as this crisis escalates who says north korea wants three things. a, the survival of the kim din city and the country, b, to be taken seriously as an international nuclear power and partnersnd and, c, to venetz policy. i talked to a former iowa analyst to actually meet with senior north korean officials to hear what they have in mind and they have reaffirmed that just in the last mont

they give food aid and oil to the regime in pyongyang. david: we were looking at pictures of vladimir putin. what are the russians doing? how have they changed? not really -- tom: the russians and chinese are similar, the russians saying it was premature to start talking about further sanctions but also condemning the nuclear test, calling for further dialogue. both russia and china are calling on south korea and the u.s. to stop military exercises. toy want all of the parties sit down and talk. we have vladimir putin in the city right now. he is having meetings with president xi no doubt a topic of conversation for both of these leaders. russia has trade with north korea and the city of vladivostok which is the nearest russian city to the border also felt tremors from the nuclear test. it is a matter of concern, but a lot -- but dialogue is pushing forward. betty: looking for diplomatic solutions. thank you so much to tom mackenzie and yvonne man, the person on the ground in seoul. more on north korea with a former advisor to the u.s. co

is there dissonance between washington and pyongyang on that? the politics of ethnicity play in this for the south and the north? >> well i don't think much politics of ethnicity and south korea. the difference is unlike the united states, south koreans see north koreans not just as a nuclear program, nuclear problem, but as a country which shares a lot of historic roots with south korea, and they have basically soave they have a broader picture. solving the north korean nuclear issue is not the only and sometimes not the major issue in dealing with north korea. president trump recently criticized the south korean government. he described south korean policy as appeasement, but this is just a reflection of a simple fact. to somehow have handle north korea in many ways, not only as a military problem. thank you so much for joining us today. about this latest of fines from pyongyang. testing a hydrogen bomb there as well. willg up next, fosun continue to expand globally. we discussed the company's plans and the crackdown on overseas investment. th
