Let's begin in New York.

On the last day of the UN General Assembly, Presidents Moon Jae-in and Donald Trump agreed

to maintain an overwhelming deterrence against North Korea.

Then in another summit including their Japanese counterpart the trio made it clear the strongest

response measures are required to coax Pyongyang back to talks.

Connie Kim has our top story.

The second meeting between the leaders of South Korea and the United States in New York

focused on ways to pressure North Korea for its nuclear weapons program.

Such measures included expanding the rotational deployment of U.S. strategic assets around

the Korean peninsula and neighboring countries.

(Korean) "North Korea's provocation is extremely deplorable

and this has angered both me and my people.

The United States has responded firmly to the North's provocation and I am very satisfied

that there is very close cooperation between the South Korea and the United States."

(English) "Our real focus will be on the military and

our relationship with South Korea which is excellent, which is really excellent.

So, we're going to start that process right now."

Following the summit, the presidential office highlighted details of the closed-door talks

on maintaining overwhelming deterrence against North Korea.

(Korean) "The two leaders agreed to strengthen their

countries' joint defense capabilities through Seoul's acquisition and development of the

most advanced U.S. military assets.

They also agreed to expand the rotational deployment of U.S. military assets around

Korea and neighboring countries."

Exerting the strongest pressure and sanctions was the name of the game when Japanese Prime

Minister Shinzo Abe joined Presidents Moon and Trump for an hour-long meeting.

Noting that the recently adopted UN Security Council resolution was a strong move from

the international community,... Abe emphasized the need for even stronger measures, while

supporting Trump's executive order expanding U.S. sanctions on North Korea.

(Japanese/ AP) "We are going into a new stage of pressure,

exercising stronger pressures, new pressures, and I welcome the new sanctions measures by

the United States."

And to further corner the North,... the three leaders have also agreed to cooperate with

China and Russia,... the two key nations that are reluctant in choking North Korea's life

line.

As North Korea hints that it has no intention of putting a stop to its nuclear ambition,...

Seoul, Washington and Tokyo are continuing to call for stronger pressure on the regime.

The key now is whether diplomacy will work, as concerns are mounting that time is running

out to reach a peaceful solution with the reclusive regime.

North Korea on 'verge of nuclear missiles capable of accurately hitting US mainland' - Duration: 3:03.

North Korea on 'verge of nuclear missiles capable of accurately hitting US mainland'

Speaking at a forum held by the Hudson Institute think tank, Air Force General John Hyten said the must look at North Korea developing the capability as a matter of when not if." North Korea's current are believed the be inaccurate as they have struggled to develop a guidance system that survives orbital re-entry.

The heat of re-entry can warp the missile and render it totally inaccurate. But Mr Hyten added that it was only a matter of time before North Korea developed the technology: "If youre going down that path, youll eventually figure it out.

"So we have to assume, and as commander of Strategic Command, I have to assume, that they have the bomb and they will have the capability to deploy it on an ICBM.

And I have to figure out how to respond if asked by the President of the United States.

If they want to attack the United States with nuclear weapons, it is not going to work out well for North Korea, Hyten said, adding that if such an attack occurred, the response is going to be overwhelming. Mr Hyten also said he is confident that the anti-ballistic missile shield Ground-Based Midcourse Defence (GMD) can deflect a North Korean ICBM launched at US territory.

The £29billion ($40billion) programme was established in 1999, it has had 19 tests and failed nine of them - meaning it has a success rate of around 50 per cent. Mr Hyten continued: "Could it be better? Yes.

"But I am confident today that if something happened, [US Northern Command head, Air Force Gen Lori Robinson] has the ability with the fielded forces we have to defend against ballistic missile attack by North Korea..

It comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula after repeated nuclear tests by. Last Friday North Korea launched a missile over Japan and earlier this month the hermit kingdom detonated a hydrogen bomb which sparked a 6.3 magnitude earthquake.

Leaders of S. Korea, U.S. and Japan promise to push N. Korea with maximum sanctions - Duration: 2:12.

The leaders of South Korea, the United States and Japan saw eye-to-eye on the need for strong

countermeasures against North Korea during their summit Thursday on the sidelines of

the UN General Assembly.

Cementing their relations over the common agenda,... they agreed to put maximize sanctions

to force Pyongyang back to talks.

Facing the threats posed by North Korea,... the leaders of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan--

said with one voice that they won't condone any provocation that puts peace at risk,...

and promised to corner the regime with the strongest possible sanctions and pressure.

Agreeing to leave no room for North Korea,... the leaders vowed to squeeze the regime back

closer over the issue.

He said Washington's military commitment to Seoul and Tokyo is firm and steady, adding

military ties-- in the face of the growing North Korean threats.

(ENGLISH) ""We share a commitment to creating a world

where strong and independent nations honor their people, and respect their sovereignty,...

respect the sovereignty of other nations and promote peace."

(KOREAN) "I believe the executive order President Trump

just mentioned, coupled with actions by China, will be effective in achieving

the denuclearization of North Korea."

The three leaders all highly evaluated the swift-passage of the UN Security Council's

latest package of sanctions on the regime following its sixth nuclear test.

They said they will work with other nations to ensure the sanctions are fully implemented.

But they touched upon the need for help from China and Russia,... saying their cooperation,

as long-time partners of the North,... is essential to put the screws on Pyongyang and

bring the regime back to talks.

Banks won't be allowed to do business with both U.S. and North Korea - Duration: 2:30.

Washington is giving the world two options,... but it's a choice with only one serious answer.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has told global financial institutions to decide

whether they want to do business with the United States OR North Korea.

This is based on the executive order issued by President Trump.

Park Jong-hong reports.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary says no bank in any country should be used to facilitate Kim

Jong-un's destructive behavior.

Steven Mnuchin made the remarks to reporters while announcing a fresh set of U.S. sanctions

against Pyongyang.

In particular, he said global banks must make a crucial choice.

(Reuters, Edit No. 4264) "Foreign financial institutions are now on

notice that, going forward, they can choose to do business with the United States or with

North Korea - but not both."

His comments are being seen as an ultimatum to those institutions that were not subject

to the previous sanctions.

The latest U.S. sanctions include asset freezes on individuals and the suspension of corresponding

account access in the United States for banks who work with North Korea.

The remarks are based on President Trump's executive order that grants the Treasury Department

additional authority aimed at helping to cut off international trade and financing used

by the regime.

(REUTERS4245) "Our new executive order will cut off sources

of revenue that fund North Korea's efforts to develop the deadliest weapons known to

human kind."

One of the gists of the order is banning vessels and aircraft that have visited North Korea,

or engaged in a ship-to-ship transfer with a ship that has visited North Korea in the

last six months from visiting the U.S. for 180 days.

Meanwhile,... in brief public remarks ahead of the trilateral summit with South Korea

and Japan, President Trump heaped praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping.

He said President Xi had ordered Chinese banks to cease conducting business with North Korean

entities,... saying the move was "very bold" and " somewhat unexpected."

U.S. officials acknowledged that like other sanctions, the fresh batch of measures may

not deter North Korea, but is aimed at slowing the country down.

USA vs North Korea: This is the US military arsenal poised to WIPE OUT Kim's threat - Duration: 7:38.

USA vs North Korea: This is the US military arsenal poised to WIPE OUT Kim's threat

After 's UN envoy said the country would never bow down to international pressure and give up its nuclear weapons program, diplomatic means of addressing the hostilities appear to have been sidelined in favour of military action.

's UN ambassador Nikki Haley and the President himself have said "the time for talk is over", despite China, Russia, and other members of the US administration claiming dialogue remains the main aim.

The US military has a huge presence in the area around North Korea, particularly in Japan and increasingly close allies South Korea.

There are almost 40,000 US troops serving in Japan, more than in any other country, and earlier this year the US Air Force lined up a huge array of helicopters, tactical fighter jets and surveillance aircraft in a show of force aimed to intimidate Kim Jong-un.

Among the aircraft were HH-60 Pave Hawks, a twin-turboshaft helicopter primarily used for the insertion and rescue of special operation personnel.  The aircraft's versatility makes it incredibly useful in other operations too, including civilian rescue and disaster relief.

The F-15 Eagles, America's twin-engine, all-weather tactile fighter jets, are also stationed in the region and are among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat.

Also headquartered in Japan is the Seventh Fleet, the largest of the US navy's deployed sea forces.

The flagship carrier is the USS Ronald Reagan, a nuclear-powered aircraft supercarrier that forms part of "the most effective and agile fighting force in the world".   .

Also in the fleet are up to 14 destroyers and cruisers at any given time, some armed with ballistic missile interceptors.

A collection of long-range Tomahawk land missiles, which made headlines earlier this year when President Trump fired 59 of them at an airbase in Syria, joins the arsenal.

As if that wasn't enough, there are also 12 nuclear-powered submarines available should war break out.

South of the demilitarised zone (DMZ), the US has 23,468 troops at 83 different sites as well as hundreds of tanks and armoured vehicles, meaning there is always a heavy military presence should North Korea decide to launch a land attack.

There is also the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) system, which, despite criticism from Beijing and Pyongyang, is ready and waiting to intercept missiles and destroy the incoming projectiles while in mid-flight.

Guam, the US territory that Kim Jong-un has threatened to fire four ballistic missiles towards, is also host to a huge military presence.  Much of the island is controlled by the armed forces and the Andersen air base hosts a range of bombers, resulting in Guam being dubbed a "permanent aircraft carrier".

Among the aircraft at the base are B-1B bombers, B-52 bombers and F-35B stealth fighters, some of the US Air Force's most impressive jets.

The B-1B bomber is heralded for its survivability and although initially designed to carry nuclear arms, it was converted to carry more conventional weaponry after the Cold War.

The US is believed to have at least six B-1B bombers stationed in Guam and is best suited to a 'medium threat environment', rather than a heavily defended airspace.

Speaking about plans for a possible preemptive strike on North Korea earlier this month, retired Admiral James Stavridis told NBC News: "The B-1b has also been selected because it has the added benefit of not being able to carry nuclear weapons.  "Military planners think that will signal China, Russia, and Pyongyang that the US is not trying to escalate an already bad situation any further. The B-52 was first introduced in 1955 and was originally designed to carry nuclear weapons during the Cold War.

It remains one of the most superior aircraft in the US Air Force.  The long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber is capable of carrying more than 30 tons of weapons.

The aircraft's fearsome appearance and reputation has resulted in the nickname BUFF, which stands for Big Ugly Fat F*****. The US also maintains a smaller presence in other countries in the region, including Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines.

US military aircraft use Thai runways while the US Navy will operate four warships out of Singapore by next year.

Tensions have been stepped across the region over recent days following North Korea firing a test missile over Japan. The provocative action saw South Korea and US forces drop bombs on the border of the hermit state.

Earlier today France warned the situation was extremely serious. Foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned a nuclear strike on Europe was possible and said a world war could erupt in months.

He said: The situation is extremely serious. we see North Korea setting itself as an objective to have, tomorrow or the day after, missiles that can transport nuclear weapons. In a few months that will be a reality..

South Korea, U.S. and Japan call for strict enforcement of sanctions on North Korea - Duration: 2:44.

The leaders of South Korea, the United States

and Japan... have vowed maximize pressure on North Korea,... following a three-way summit

on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.

President Trump also announced new measures... to target firms and entities with suspected

business ties to Pyongyang,... and bolster Seoul's defense capability with the sale of

advanced weaponry.

Park Jong-hong starts us off.

Presidents Moon Jae-in and Donald Trump met on Thursday for their highly anticipated,

second bilateral summit,... where they stressed the need to maintain an overwhelming deterrence

against North Korea.

The two leaders agreed to expand the deployment of U.S. military assets on the Korean Peninsula,...

and have Washington provide Seoul with the right to purchase sophisticated U.S. weaponry.

Immediately following their bilateral meeting,... the pair was joined by Japanese Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe for a three-way summit.

Once again, the leaders condemned North Korea's latest nuclear test... and said the strongest

possible sanctions and pressure was necessary... to force the regime to take the path to denuclearization.

President Trump also announced... new unilateral sanctions on Pyongyang,... to significantly

bolster Washington's ability to crack down... on individuals and firms suspected of doing

business with the rogue state.

"Today I'm announcing a new executive order we just signed that significantly expands

our authorities to target individuals, companies, financial institutions, that finance and facilitate

trade with North Korea."

(Korean) "I believe the executive order President Trump

just mentioned, coupled with actions by China, will be effective in achieving the denuclearization

of North Korea."

In his first address to the UN General Assembly, President Trump had warned... he would have

no choice but to "totally destroy North Korea"... if Washington was forced to defend itself

or its allies.

His remarks follow the regime's sixth nuclear test earlier this month,... for which the

UN Security Council has adopted... its toughest sanctions to date on Pyongyang.

Pyongyang also warned against the continued deployment saying South Korea was digging up their own graves by allowing the defence system to remain in the country. ramped up economic pressure on to give up its nuclear weapons programme.

The US President announced plans to target any country trading with dictatorship through a new executive order.

Mr Trump said: "Our new executive order will cut off sources of revenue that fund North Koreas efforts to develop the deadliest weapons known to humankind." Buoyed by Mr Trump's promise to protect his allies from the 's missiles Seoul demanded the North abandon its nuclear arsenal immediately.

The office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in said: We view the speech as portraying a firm and specific stance on the key issues regarding keeping peace and safety that the international community and the United Nations are faced with, It clearly showed how seriously the United States government views North Koreas nuclear programme as the president spent an unusual amount of time discussing the issue.

" President Trump used his speech to the United Nations to describe Kim Jong-un as his government as a "depraved regime" and a band of criminals.

and Japan plan to deal with North Korea.

Meeting in New York on Thursday,...

Presidents Moon Jae-in and Donald Trump agreed in their one-on-one talks to maintain an overwhelming

deterrence against North Korea.

Welcoming Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe into the fold later,... the three leaders

made it clear that the strongest response measures are required to coax Pyongyang back

to talks.

Connie Kim has more.

The second meeting between the leaders of South Korea and the United States in New York

focused on ways to pressure North Korea for its nuclear weapons program: namely expanding

the rotational deployment of U.S. strategic assets around the peninsula and neighboring

countries.

(Korean) "North Korea's provocation is extremely deplorable

Seoul, Washington and Tokyo continue to call for stronger pressure on the regime.

What will new U.S. sanctions mean for North Korea? - Duration: 3:51.

JUDY WOODRUFF: From natural disasters to nuclear diplomacy, President Trump ordered new sanctions

today aimed at crippling North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The order allows for targeting individuals and companies that trade with North Korea,

including foreign banks.

The president made the announcement during a lunch with South Korea's President Moon

Jae-in and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

DONALD TRUMP: For much too long, North Korea has been allowed to abuse the international

financial system to facilitate funding for its nuclear weapons and missile programs.

Tolerance for this disgraceful practice must end now.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Later today, North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, called President Trump

-- quote -- "deranged" and said that he -- quote -- "pay dearly for his threat."

We get more on today's move with David Cohen, who served as deputy director of the CIA and

undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the Treasury Department during

the Obama administration.

David Cohen, welcome back to the program.

DAVID COHEN, Former Deputy Director, Central Intelligence Agency: Good to see you..

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, how significant is this move by the president?

DAVID COHEN: I think it's actually quite significant.

These new sanctions that the president issued today with an executive order creates new,

real and meaningful authorities for the United States to impose sanctions both on businesses

that are working with North Korea and what is I think quite significant, financial institutions

that are working with North Korea.

It is a combination really of what had been imposed on Russia and what we had done with

respect to Iran that really ramped up the pressure there.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So there have been sanctions against North Korea.

How is this different from what had been done before?

DAVID COHEN: Well, most significantly, this authority allows what are called secondary

sanctions on foreign financial institutions, which mostly are Chinese banks.

So, what it says is, any Chinese bank or any foreign financial institution that is working

with designated, so sanctioned, North Korean entities can be cut off from the United States.

That puts real pressure on those banks, and the president today said that they need to

make a choice between working with North Korean institutions or working with the United States.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, meantime, David Cohen, the Chinese government announced today that

it is ordering its banks to cease doing any business with North Korea.

So what does that tell you?

DAVID COHEN: That tells me that the Chinese may have known this was coming, and are taking

steps to protect their financial system from the risk that one of their banks will get

caught in these secondary sanctions.

They're telling their banks, back off from North Korea, don't do business with North

Korea.

That will protect them from the possibility that they will be sanctioned by the U.S.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And what does all this mean for North Korea?

I just read the quote, the comment today from Kim Jong-un.

What does it really mean for their country?

DAVID COHEN: Well, you know, Kim Jong-un is a master of over-the-top rhetoric.

And we should look at what they do, not what Kim Jong-un says, because he is very practiced

in that sort of rhetoric.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Right.

DAVID COHEN: What these sanctions, I think, means is, I think it's a signal to the North

Koreans that the United States is trying to maximize pressure.

But with that, and in all the statements from the White House today, came the hint that,

if there was a potential negotiation here about the nuclear program, the United States

was open to hearing that out.

So I think it's a possibility for a negotiation.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So potential pain for them not having this business, but an opening,

is what you're saying?

DAVID COHEN: Exactly, and real significant pain if the United States follows through

on imposing sanctions under these new authorities.

JUDY WOODRUFF: All right, David Cohen, thank you again.

DAVID COHEN: Thank you.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Appreciate it.

The United States Tried To Detonate A Nuclear Weapon On The Moon - Duration: 4:23.

The United States Tried To Detonate A Nuclear Weapon On The Moon & Somebody Responded

In the 1950s, Colonel Ross Dedrickson was responsible for maintaining the inventory

of the nuclear weapon stockpile for the AEC, and for accompanying security teams checking

out the security of the weapons, among many other duties.

As his obituary states:

He was assigned to the US Atomic Energy Commission.

A long service with the Energy Commission between 1950-1958 included, contract administration

duties at Nevada test sites, Pacific Nuclear Test Area west of Hawaii, nuclear weapon manufacturing

and quality assurance in Albuquerque, and inspection of nuclear and non-nuclear facilities

throughout the country.

He served with the 5th Air Force in Japan and later as a ranking Colonel, Officer in

Charge of the Pacific Unified Command (TM)s alternate �command and control center�

in Hawaii.

In 1962, he was transferred and served as Deputy for Material for the 832 Air Division

at Canon Air Force Base, Clovis, New Mexico.

He retired from the USAF in 1964.

He is one of hundreds of military whistleblowers with verified backgrounds to have been brought

forth by Dr. Steven Greer�s Disclosure Project.

His testimony about UFOs � specifically about UFOs and nuclear weapons � can be

corroborated by a wealth of information and evidence that�s now available within the

public domain

Many of these whistleblowers have made multiple appearances at the National Press Club in

an effort to get this information out to the world, with the most recent example being

the Citizens Hearing on Disclosure, which took place a few years ago.

With such a professional background, working in the places he has worked, it�s safe to

infer he was privy to sensitive information on a number of subjects.

This isn�t just a random high-ranking military whistleblower talking about a random issue.

There are many whistleblowers and documents clearly outlining a decades-long relationship

between UFOs and nuclear storage facilities and test sites.

A number of these incidents have visual confirmation, along with air and ground radar confirmation

as well.

In the interview below, Dedrickson explains how the American government tried to detonate

a nuclear weapon on the moon, but were prevented from doing so.

As far as the mainstream goes, it�s public knowledge that a declassified report by the

Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center from June 1959 shows just how seriously they considered

the plan, called Project A119.

In general, they wanted to investigate the capability of weapons in space, as well as

gain further insight into the space environment and the detonation of nuclear devices within

it.

As far as the information below, that probably goes deeper into the Black Budget.

It�s interesting how the world is so into television shows like Stranger Things, which

depicts the Department of Energy and their involvement with otherworldly creatures and

other strange facts, yet so willing to ignore a high ranking American Colonel who held very

sensitive positions at the Department of Energy for years, at a time when all of this nuclear

development was really hot.

He is the real deal and it�s interesting to ponder what he might really know.

�I also learned about incidents involving nuclear weapons, and among these incidents

were a couple of nuclear weapons sent into space were destroyed by the extraterrestrials.

�At the very end of the 70s and the early 80s, we attempted to put a nuclear weapon

on the moon and explode it for scientific measurements and other things, which was not

acceptable to the extraterrestrials.

They destroyed the weapon before it got to the moon.�

No country or bank should assist North Korea destructive behavior: U.S. Treasury Secretary - Duration: 0:58.

So...

President Trump's new executive order focuses on completely isolating individuals that facilitate

the regime's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

It enhances the Treasury Department's authority in targeting individuals or entities that

conduct "significant" trade in goods, services or technology with the North.

It also allows sanctions to be placed on any foreign financial institutions that knowingly

conduct or facilitate any significant transaction,... on behalf of blacklisted individuals and entities

or in connection with trade with North Korea.

The order also targets Pyongyang's shipping and trade networks by stopping vessels and

aircraft that have visited North Korea from visiting the U.S. within 180-days.

It also applies to vessels that have engaged in a ship-to-ship transfer with a vessel that

has visited the North within the same timeframe.

U.S. citizen mistaken for illegal immigrant by ICE workers in Oregon - Duration: 3:32.

I was targeted, I was stalked, I was singled out, I was discriminated,

humiliated and left out there hanging

after being done wrong to.

Do you have a warrant? Are you with ICE?

Do you have a warrant for arrest? Do you have any identification that you can show them?

we do not know you please back away from

It's very difficult to to even put in words of what before and after, it's I

just it's insane it's, it shouldn't happen.

I never had expected to find myself in this situation because I'm a U.S. citizen.

I never expected to be the victim.

Monday morning my wife and I were going to a court hearing that she

was scheduled to appear to. As we were arriving near the courthouse we saw a

rally of people gathering around. As we got closer we I realized that it was

ACLU protesters. The lady approached me and asked me, excuse me can I get your

name and I said Isidro and the gentleman yelled what's your real name.

My wife says what do you need his name for who are you and then we started

asking questions. Why they want to know who I am, why they want, do you have ID

with you can we see your ID, what's your name, your full name. My wife

started arguing with the guy I was arguing with the lady, questioning

who they were could you tell me who you are why do you need my information and

while all that was going on the lady said well I got a picture of you. And

this and that, and my wife's like well just show me that picture. The picture

got in there my wife saw it and my wife got outraged

because it wasn't me. I saw a gentleman that came on my left side came

towards the lady that I was arguing with with the green hoodie and he goes can I

see the photo. So he took the phone from her she handed him the phone, he looked

at the phone, looked at me, handed the phone back to her and he tapped her on

the shoulder and says that's not him let's get out of here. And just like that

it was like they just all got in their cars and drove off. Nobody said anything

til now, no they haven't said anything. I'm sure Oregonian or somebody else is

questioning them and they haven't I think because they really messed up.

The Latinos, Mexicans, illegal aliens, whatever you want to call, demeaning to me

the way they use those phrases, were were citizens. You name it, there were people

this country's put together of different minorities.
