policy on north korea? where does the 2 main candidates stand on that? the 2 candidates are really far apart when it comes to their policies toward north korea. jim young advocates engagement. he's the democratic party leader. he wants to see the 2 korean negotiate. he wants to bring the united states into some negotiation, perhaps, and see some calming of the tension on the korean peninsula. he follows in the footsteps of the current president moon j n, who organized the summits that we saw between north korean leader kim johnson and former u. s. president donald trump. he wants to see things dialed down here and closer relations between north korea. and so korea, you and so you'll, the conservative, he advocates a much stronger alliance with the u. s. a resumption of, you know, periodic joint military exercises here on the korean peninsula. and potentially even a preemptive strike on north korea. should it look like they were going to launch some type of missile? so again, very different positions of thes

let me turn to north korea. you were heavily involved in it, president trump had a different approach than his predecessors, we had a major crisis in 2017 with north korea testing all types of missile platforms, the hydrogen bombs, icbms, it went on and on. there is a lot of questions about what other things could be done with north korea to bring them back in the fold, try to restart negotiations. we have a question asking, do you think it might be possible if the biden administration were to follow on with what the trump administration did and offer high-level talks, person-to-person talks to reengage with pyongyang and maybe create either a short-term or long-term deal? mr. pompeo: we are in a very unique administration. i say that not as a throwaway line. it give us a unique opportunity to have those high-level conversations with two leaders who could actually have a serious conversation. the reason for this was the discussions, whether the agreed framework for the deals that had been struck before, were all

north korea continued their activities. they continued proliferation. they continued these prohibited programs and the pressure wind. i agree with jenny the bottom line is we had maximum pressure. that brought kim back to the table. he became -- he ran out the clock as he and his father and his grandfather has done before. the issue here is how do you combine engagement and pressure? it is the real question here. biden tried engagement only in 2021. that does not work. trump tried early on just pressure. how do we combine the two for a better policy? >>>> does the international community need to resign itself to a nuclear north korea? >> the north koreans have agreed to denuclearization as recently as 2018. the question is, what is that expectation? it is not going to happen overnight. it will come at a cost. the longer it takes to come up with the first step down a denuclearizati path means the price is going to get higher every time. there are security reasons why they are doing this. there are coercive reasons should i would disagree it was pressure

that represents just a fraction of north korea's sanctions of asian activity. i'd also point out that the fraud and money laundering are actually quite a small proportion of overall chris currency activity or research at all the pictures that less than one percent of all the transactions actually even involved . well, is that activity such as broad accepting cyber crime ability? what sophisticated cyber criminal actors like north korea have been very good at. is i dental fighting and exploiting certain security vulnerabilities on crypto currency trading platforms that enable them to conduct these hacks of that which can be very lucrative? what north korea actually denies the allegations that hackers carry out the attacks . how easy is it to hold government countable? well, in the case of north korea, i do think there's overwhelming evidence that they're engaged in this activity. and there seems to be widespread consensus about this, that the united nations at this point. i think when it comes to cryptic currency is one of the real challenges is that the technol

what north korea actually denies the allegations that hackers carry out the attacks? how easy is it to hold government countable? well, in the case of north korea, i do think there's overwhelming evidence that they're engaged in this activity. and there seems to be widespread consensus about this at the united nations at this point. i think when it comes to crypto currency is one of the real challenges is that the technology is evolving very, very rapidly. while policy responses tend to be much slower and aren't always coordinated very effectively. so i think the international community will really need to find ways to react more with lead to these types of emerging threats. to keep rogue actors from north korea from exploiting emerging technologies like crypto and all forensic investigations keeping up. do you think, you know, as we mentioned, the largest ever confiscation of its kind has just taken and taken place in the u. s. but the heck happened in 2016, we're definitely seeing that law enforcement agencies and in many countries are becoming much more sophisticat

north korea is watching this. it's a complex set of issues around north korea's proliferation. we worry about them selling technology, transferring technology and purchasing technology. it's a complicated issue and to get back to where we began. this is really a china issue. we should think about these arsenals collectively. in the end, i don't believe there was a meeting between myself and chairman can or between the president and chairman kim where, in the 72 hours preceding that, chairman kim hadn't spoken or visit physically with xi. >> let me ask you a broader question. i think it is something a lot of experts eventually get to once you've been studying north korea for so long. it seems like a lot of experts that say something to the effect that, north korea's policy is never going to give up its nuclear weapons. it seems like it would be very difficult to craft the type of incentives that would be necessary for kim jong-un to get that same level of security as nuclear weapons. could we ever find ourselves in a situation or an american president would say, i'm not going to

of course north korea has close ties with china. it did not conduct any missile tests during the beijing winter olympic games in february. today's ballistic missile test also takes place less than two weeks before the south korean presidential election due to take place on march 9th. and of course you have concerns growing about further ballistic missile testing by north korea when you have the situation enukraine unfolding. when you talk to analysts they point out north korea has been engaging in this uptick of behavior well before the russian invasion. i want to share this analysis for you. we'll bring up the tweet for you. he writes this, putin's war shapes almost all geopolitics right now, should factor somewhere in kim's calculus, but even taking advantage of distractions seems to presume too much since north korea was already testing aggressively before the war a month ago when briefly all eyes were on it, unquote. now, south korea says this missile launch by the north is undesirable while the world is trying to come up with s

susan: your description of north korea. one thing that caught my attention as they have been aggressive in cryptocurrency, to help finance their nuclear ambitions. people thinking about investing in cryptocurrency would be interested in your description. amy: north korea loves to steal things. they do not have much of an economy at all, it's one of the poorest countries on earth. why folks are so concerned about north korea's willingness to sell its nuclear technology and capabilities. it should not come as a surprise that north korea is interested in active and successful at stealing and using cryptocurrency. one of the downsides of having a currency that is anonymous is it is a great way for bad guys to do bad things and try to get away with it. north korea poses a number of challenges for the united states, and i think in cyber what is striking about the north korean threat is it is asymmetric. north korea is one of the least digitally connected countries in the world. there were than 10% of its people even have a cell p

given that north korea is involved in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. now, you know, i think it's very easy to look at this. you like this and conclude that crypto currency to the source of the whole problem. i do think it's important to point out that while north korea has, by many estimates a mass new potentially hundreds of millions or even more encrypted currencies, that represents just a fraction of north korea's sanctions of asian activity. i'd also point out that the fraud, money laundering are actually quite a small proportion of overall crypto currency activity or research at all the pictures that less than one percent of all big point transactions actually even involved. well, is that activity such as broad accepting cyber crime? but what sophisticated cyber criminal actors like north korea had been very good at, is dental fighting and exploiting certain security vulnerabilities on crypto currency trading platforms that enable them to conduct the tax of that which can be very lucrative. what north korea actually denies the allegations that hac

and it comes with a hint from kim jong that north korea's leader and that north korea may be willing to at stop. it's moratorium on that nuclear development and the test firing of longer range intercontinental ballistic missiles which are of course, would be a much greater provocation. having said that from north korea this weekend, when i went to sunday here, it does seem to be business as usual. there are, while all this is going on, we are seeing images from state run major of kim jong on as smiling as he a ground. does a groundbreaking ceremony open at the start of a new housing development in pyongyang, north career? it seems far more interested in domestic matters rather than all the other crises which seem to be gripping the world right now. and of course, for the u. s. i mean, since the end of the 2nd world war, they managed to forge strong relationships with south korea and japan independently . but the u. s. is also needed more often than not to try and calm the tension between these 2 very important allies that it has the up and down relationship or has gone on like this.

north korea conducted 9 ballistic missile tests just last month. his mcbride with more from so this does follow a pattern. we do know that north korea has been accused now for years of being involved in all sorts of nefarious international criminal activity as a way of getting much needed foreign reserves to basically let it survive. it has been involved, for example, has been accused of being involved in international narcotics in illegal sales. but it does seem to have found a lucrative avenue in cyber crime with another report in 2019, for example, from the un suggesting that north korea had managed to accrue $2000000000.00 worth of digital assets in recent times. with the current economic, dire straits that your career is in, it seems as though it's not going to desist from the cyber crime because of course, it faced his international sanctions. the impact of 2 years of basically being cut off from the outside world. by the pandemic, it is very difficult to di, economic straits, or talk of food shortages in north korea. and as we get into 2022,

there are talk of food shortages in north korea and as we get into 2022 still the same. a question of how to deal with north korea, especially given this flurry of a miss our launch is well jim anderson as a tech expert and c e o of social flow, he says crypto occurrences aren't as hard to trace as people think. in many ways crypto currency as a criminal's dream or a rogue nation. if you want to look at it that way because it is anonymous and you can't find it. but the very fact that it's not backed by a government means it must be traceable. and so, for example, us $100.00 bill like this, it's got a serial number on it. but good luck trying to understand who has used that $100.00 bill crypto currency, it's actually traceable. and your anonymity is dependent on you getting it right every single time. if you're anonymous for a 1000 transactions and you slip up just one time, then all sudden, not just the transaction you slipped up on every single prior transaction is no longer anonymous. so i think it's a lot less ideal for road nations or criminals than you might think.

north korea -- mr. kirby: i get that a lot. i just was looking to see if i had more on your first question. yes, i'm sorry. go ahead. reporter: ok. on the north korea's icbm missile operating base, which is located just 15 miles from the chinese border. aren't you worried about this? mr. kirby: i don't have any information on that, janne. reporter: why not? mr. kirby: i don't have any information on the installation status in north korea. reporter: skip, another one. china has praised the troops -- pledged the troops support for russia at's invasion of ukraine. and also, north korea said that it supports russia through face-to-face meeting at the russian putin military. what is the united states's strategy toward china and north korea? do you have any new strategy? mr. kirby: i don't. are you referring to the readout of the conversation between xi and putin? reporter: yes, because china has pledged, you know, they involve the russian crisis. they strongly promis putin and also north korean kim jung-un face to face meeting with

and south korea are calling for restraint from north korea after pyongyang conducted its eighth missile launch of the year. the launch came just hours ago. japan says north korea fired at least one intermediate-range ballistic missile eastward from somewhere near its west coast. cnn's kristie lu stout joins us from hong kong. with the world's attention focused on ukraine and russia, take us through the importance and the timing of this north korean launch. >> reporter: it's all about timing. it prompted south korea to call it undesirable for peace. you have the world's attention fixed on the russian invasion in ukraine. earlier today, north korea decided to go ahead and fire a ballistic missile, its first such launch since january. this is the country's eighth missile test so far this year. according to the south korean military, it took place about 7:52 a.m. it was launched from sunan, an area near the north korean capital, and landed in the waters off the kirns. the south korean military are maintaining a state of read naens as they monitor the situation. the united states said this t

still the same question of how to deal with north korea. especially given this flurry of missile launches scores and bob, we have reopened full time after nearly 2 years of intermittent learning and closure is because of cobit 19. the reopening coincides with the national vaccination campaign being extended to every one age 14 and over. but there have been reports of teachers failing to show off because of poor safety standards and low salaries. the average teacher salary and bob boy is equivalent to $50.00 a month. putting them below the poverty line. australia is reopening its borders nearly 2 years after the government closed the country off to the rest of the world from february 21st, the fully vaccinated tourists and the other visa holders will be allowed in unvaccinated travelers will still need to apply to enter and undergo hotel florentine on arrival, australia has only been allowing a limited number of citizens and permanent residents into the country. throughout the pandemic making it one of the crick, this, the border closures in

and you and report says north korea's miss our program is being funded through stolen crypto currency. north korean cyber attacks of stolen more than $50000000.00 worth of criptos in the past 2 years, according to investigators such attacks are an important revenue source for planning young's nuclear and ballistic missile program. the report says let's get more in this from different tuning. my colleagues here at the w business . clifford how advanced is north korea in areas like crypto crime, cyber crime. com? yeah, it certainly seems to be getting more sophisticated. it used to be when they needed to are in foreign currency. they were, the north koreans would make crystal math or fake $100.00 bills, but clearly they're moving with the times and they see an opportunity here crypto currency. and recent years we've seen a number of cyber attacks using malware and fishing and things like that on clearly the sophistication level has increased now where they're, where they're able to access script or currency on hundreds of millions of dollars worth of it. yeah, i mean, the un says $50000

and as we get into 2022, it's still the same question of how to deal with north korea. especially given this flurry of missile launches. let's go to manchester in the u. k. now talk to ed caesar, who is a staff writer for the new yorker and has conducted extensive research on north korea's hacking activity. thanks for your time. and i have asked so many guests on this channel about north korea is miss up program and how it manages to keep developing it. despite being so cut off from the rest of the world. maybe this is part of the answer. now, when you, you, you underestimate north korea is ability that your peril. yeah, absolutely. this is gotta be a big part of the answer. you know, it's, it's perverse. there's a country here where, where few than one percent of the population has access to the internet as we would understand it, which has some of the world's best computer hackers. and so you have this, this really strange situation where they have this incredibly talented casa of hackers who are working out of the reconnaissance general bureau in trent yang. we got t

there are talk of food shortages in north korea and as we get into 2022 still the same. a question of how to deal with north korea, especially given this flurry of a missile launches to madison, is a tax expert, a tex, i'm a tech expert and see of social slope. he says what crypto currencies artist, hard to trace, as people think in many ways crypto currency as a criminal's dream or a rogue nation. if you want to look at it that way, because it is anonymous and you can't find it. but the very fact that it's not backed by a government means it must be traceable. and so i'll use, for example, a us $100.00 bill like this. it's got a serial number on it. but good luck trying to understand who's used that $100.00 bill. crypto currency is actually traceable and your anonymity is dependent on you getting it right every single time. if you're anonymous for a 1000 transactions and you slip up just one time, then all the sudden, not just the transaction you slipped up on every single prior transaction is no longer anonymous. so i think it's a lot less ideal for road nations or cri

there are talk of food shortages in north korea. and as we get into 2022, it's still the same question of how to deal with north korea, especially given this flurry of missile launches. well, jim anderson is a tech expert and he's also the ceo of social flow. he says, crept currencies onto hard is to trace, as people believe in many ways crypto currency, the criminal's dream, or a rogue nation. if you want to look at it that way because it is anonymous and you can't find it, but the very fact that it's not backed by a government means it must be traceable. and so you, for example, you have $100.00 bill life if it's got a serial number on it. but good luck trying to understand who's used that $100.00 bill crypto currency, it's actually traceable. and you're, and nobody is dependent on you getting it right. every single time, if you're anonymous for a 1000 transactions and you slip up just one time, then all the sudden, not just the transaction you slipped up on every single prior transaction is no longer anonymous. so i think it's a

council statement condemning north korea's missile provocations or north korea's issues, how does the u.s. evaluate south korea's attitude? the second one on china, after a meeting last week the chinese ambassador to the u.n. has blamed the united states for recent missile launches by north korea. he has insisted that the u.s. should take more flexible approach to north korea and china and russia are strategically the same body. what is the united states justifying those korean missile provocations. >> let me take your first question first. as you know, since the start of this administration we have been investing heavily in our alliances and partnerships around the globe and of course that includes in the indo-pacific. there are a number of shared challenges and shared opportunities we have with our allies in the indo-pacific. our treaty allies, japan and the r.o.k. among them, among those challenges are the dprk. certainly one of the more pressing challenges we have with those allies. in recent days, the deputy secretary, your special representative for the dprk, they have engaged t

north korea's missile program of this latest report does seem to confirm what north korea has been accused off for a number of years. now of basically being involved a large scale and international crime in nefarious criminals schemes, f, anything from a narcotics to illegal om sales as a way of trying to get much needed foreign revenue just to keep it viable. and it does seem to have found in a cyber crime, a particularly lucrative source of all of these crypto currencies. in fact, this latest report indicates this was $50000000.00 worth of a crypto. currencies gathered a crude over the space of a year. there was been an earlier report in 2019 to the u. n. that said that at north korea had managed to get $2000000000.00 worth of digital assets to help fund it's missile and that nuclear programs. and of course, as north korea becomes more economically desperate, they, it doesn't seem as though it is going to desist at the, from this, at the, if there is the impact of international sanctions because of its weapons testing, compounded by the pandemic of the past 2 years, which has seen it vir
