A Republican senator has launched a scathing attack on President Trump over his handling
of the North Korean threat.

States on the global stage.
Yu Joonhee reports.
Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Wednesday,...

and "attempted bullying",... heightening the ongoing feud between the two Republicans.
He added... that Trump was out of his depth when it comes to foreign policy,... particularly
in dealing with North Korea,... and that he should leave it to the professionals to resolve
the issue.
Corker warned... the president was taking the U.S. on "a path to World War III"... and
that Trump needed to step back... in order for positive developments to occur.
The controversy began... when Trump attacked Corker on Twitter... over his role in helping
former president Barack Obama... reach what he called a "bad deal" with Iran.
This prompted a tweet from Corker,... who accused the president of being untruthful...
while describing the White House... as an "adult day-care center".
The ongoing feud between Trump and congressional Republicans... is adding to uncertainties
surrounding the GOP's efforts... to push through its proposed tax reforms.

U.S. media are reporting that the Supreme Court will not review President Trump's travel
ban policy, after a 120-day ban on refugees expired on Tuesday.

people from several Muslim-majority nations, and the case is likely to be sent to lower
courts.
Washington will now reportedly allow refugees to enter the U.S., but applicants will likely
go through a tougher vetting process.

US puts THREE massive ships on North Korea path in World War 3 threat ahead of Trump visit - Duration: 3:27.
US puts THREE massive ships on North Korea path in World War 3 threat ahead of Trump visit
Two US Navy aircraft carrier strike groups have arrived in the past two days, bringing the number of giant warships in the region up to three.
Mr Trump will visit Asia for the first time in early November on a 12-day trip which will include China, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea and Vietnam.
USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Nimitz, along with their cruisers, destroyers and submarines, joined the US Navy's 7th Fleet area of operations, which covers the eastern Indian and western Pacific oceans, the Navy confirmed.
The ships' accompanying nine cruisers and destroyers are equipped with the Aegis anti-missile system, which the US see as a key defence mechanism against any possible attack by North Korean missiles.
The USS Ronald Reagan was already in the region, based in Japan, and has been carrying out exercises with South Korean forces over the past week.
North Korea reacted by Kim Jong-un calling President Donald Trump a "war merchant and strangler of peace".
The Navy has not revealed specific missions for the Roosevelt and Nimitz, but the presence of more massive warships in the region will definitely draw criticism from at least North Korea.
Adam Mount, a defence analyst and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, told CNN: "It does send a significant signal. "It is a major projection of force any time a carrier moves into a region.
"US adversaries will read something into it.". Former US Navy admiral John Kirby, said the warships will send a message to China as well as North Korea.
Following an incident earlier this year in which two US-guided missile destroyers collided with merchant ships, an opinion piece in the state-run China Daily newspaper, said: "The US Navy is a hazard in Asian waters.
"Increased activities by US warships in Asia-Pacific are making them a growing risk to commercial shipping." Admiral Kirby added the Navy is "taking advantage" of Mr Trump's visit to "demonstrate its capabilities to potential adversaries".
Mr Mount added having three carriers in the region is rare and gives the Navy "an elevated posture just prior to the President's trip".

to use military force on his country,...
Seoul would have no choice but to take strong action.
(Korean) "We understand the weight of engaging in a
war as such.
We would make all efforts necessary to resolve the issue in a diplomatic and economic way."

WAR GAMES: US, Japanese and S. Korean ships practice shooting down North Korea missiles - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 3:29.
WAR GAMES: US, Japanese and S. Korean ships practice shooting down North Korean missiles
A FLEET of warships from the US, Japan and South Korea has practised shooting down missiles
amid fears North Korea is gearing up for another nuclear test.
The Aegis combat system-equipped ships from the three countries have been seen carrying
out the exercises in the waters off South Korea and Japan – just off North Korea's
border.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said the drills are designed to "prepare against growing nuclear
and missile threats by North Korea".
Although no missiles will be fired, the Armada will practice the detection and tracking of
rockets fired from the hermit state.
It comes just a day after a source in the White House warned a failure to properly confront
the nuclear threat posed by the hermit state will lead to a "darker era" in terms of
the crisis.
Just last month, Kim Jong-un's regime carried out its most powerful test to date – detonating
a Hydrogen Bomb.
Japan has said the risk of an attack is now "imminent", adding something must be done
immediately to prevent World War 3 from erupting.
The country's Defence Minister, Itsunori Onodera, said: "[The] threat posed by North Korea
has grown to the unprecedented, critical and imminent level.
"Therefore, we have to take calibrated and different responses to meet with that level
of threat."
The US has also deployed a number of deadly stealth jets to the Peninsula.
Military bosses are sending a dozen F-35A Lightning IIs and 300 airmen for a six-month
deployment in Japan.
F-35As are regarded as the world's most advanced jet, and will totally outmatch any
air power deployed by North Korea.
The latest drills come after five days of joint US-South Korea naval exercises.
Submarines USS Tucson and USS Michigan, and 40 vessels joined the aircraft carrier and
its 5,000 sailors arriving in the South Korean port city of Busan on Saturday.
The drills – also involving US fighter jets and helicopters – were training for a strike
against North Korea.
"This is what we have been training for," said commander Alex Hampton, a US Navy crewman
of 16 years, of the drills.
"Are we prepared for war?
Absolutely.
And I am confident in our abilities to execute anything that our national command authority
gives us to do."

North Korea Will Wipe Out 90% Of US Population With EMP Attack - Duration: 1:57.
North korea doesn't need to hit a major US city to cause unspeakable damage, all it
needs to do is hit the atmosphere above the US with an electromagnetic pulse on a warhead.
An expert has warned the US congress that a North Korean electromagnetic pulse attack
could wipe out 90 percent of the US population.

In times of war, its not always the country with the biggest arsenal that has the advantage.
Yes, north korea's missles are not known for their accuracy, but north korea doesn't
need to hit a target to devastate the united states.
All it needs to do is launch a short range missile off a submarine or freighter, or even
a satellite.
According to nuclear strategist, and former CIA official Peter Vincent, an Electromagnetic
pulse attack threatens to wipe out all but 10 percent of the US population.
It would black out the electric grid for a year and that presents huge problems.
320 million people need electricity.
things like internet, phone lines, traffic lights, air conditioning, heating…those
are just a few vital things that require electricity.
The food in grocery stores is expected to run out within 3 days, and the rest of the
Food supplies would be destroyed by radiation.
90 percent of the US population would die of starvation within a year..
And its not just people on the ground that rwould be at risk.
The EMP would wipe out airline and air traffic control electronics, meaning that anyone who
is on an airplane at the time could be killed.
Theres almost half a million people flying over north America at any given moment.
I will say that other experts do not believe north korea is capable of launching an attack
like this.
Jeffrey lewis, a California based analyst that monitors north korea's propaganda,
laughed for an entire seven seconds back in may when asked if north korea had the capability
of launching an attack like this.

COLD WAR 2: United States and Russia 'heading for conflict' says bombshell report - Duration: 3:46.
COLD WAR 2: United States and Russia 'heading for conflict' says bombshell report
It states tensions between the countries are at the lowest point since the height of the Cold War, saying the chance of a full-on confrontation has shot up.
The shocking report – called "An accident waiting to happen: Trump, Putin and the US-Russia relationship" – was penned by Dr Bobo Lo, of the Lowy Institute.
Dr Lo states relations between the two superpowers has reached this critical stage due to a number of factors.
These are the election of Donald Trump in the US last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin's tough foreign policy that has been met with sanctions and finally the countries just generally not seeing eye-to-eye.
The ongoing North Korea crisis has also added fuel to the flames as both countries disagree on how to deal with the threat from Kim Jong-un.
In the shocking report, Dr Lo says the time is now to figure out whether "Moscow and Washington can manage their many differences and avoid a dangerous escalation of tensions." But the Russia expert says this dialling down of tensions may not even be possible, explaining: "The best-case scenario for the relationship in the short to medium term may be one of mutual containment, reminiscent of the Cold War.
"However, even this relative stability appears elusive.". But Dr Lo says this breakdown of relations has been a gradual thing that came to a head following the Trump's election.
Despite the President saying he wanted to have a good relationship with Putin, allegations of Russian interference in the US election have made this impossible.
"The ongoing scandal of Kremlin involvement in the US election, and the Trump camp's ties with Russian security agencies have made Russia among the most toxic of issues in Washington," Dr Low states.
"The storied personal dynamic between Trump and Vladimir Putin has proved more a hindrance than a help.".
Dr Lo claims the future for relations between the US and Russia looks bleak, stating: "The best-case scenario in the short to medium term might be a relationship not unlike that between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
"Such a scenario, however, seems increasingly unlikely. Many of the problems that dogged relations during the George W.
Bush and Obama eras have become more serious, and could generate new crises." He adds: "However, there are real doubts as to whether mutual 'strategic containment' is sustainable in an increasingly fluid and volatile world. The potential for accidents is considerable..

BREAKING: US sends THIRD aircraft carrier near North Korea in shock war move
USS Nimitz has joined USS Theodore Roosevelt – dubbed the "Big Stick" – and USS Ronald Reagan in the western Pacific. The 100,000-ton warship and its strike group joins the two carriers amid fears of war with North Korea. Each vessel is accompanied with a cohort of destroyers and submarines, and USS Ronald Reagan has been carrying out war drills since last week. It is unprecdented to three aircraft carriers in the region at one time, and is a huge gathering of US sea power.
North Korea will be furious with the move, believing US military drills in the region are rehearsals for war. The US Navy confirmed the arrival of USS Nimitz today as top officer Captain Carlos Sardiello promised the warships are "ready for anything".
"When a carrier leaves on deployment, we have to be ready for anything." Captain Sardiello The massive carrier cost £3.5 billion ($4.5 billion) and is crewed by 7,500 sailors and marines.
It has a wing over 90 warplanes and helicopters which can take off from its massive 1,000ft long deck.
USS Nimitz arrival comes ahead of Donald Trump visit to the Korean Peninsula in early November. The US Navy have not confirmed the carriers mission, but experts have described it has sending a significant signal to North Korea.
Big Sticks commanding officer Cpt Sardiello said: "USS Theodore Roosevelt is prepared to carry out the full spectrum of possible missions, from humanitarian relief to combat operations.
When a carrier leaves on deployment, we have to be ready for anything. The warship's deployment comes amid a war of words between US President Donald Trump and Kim over the rogue state's nuclear programme.
Adam Mount, a defense analyst and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists told CNN: It does send a significant signal. It is a major projection of force any time a carrier moves into a region.
US adversaries will read something into it.. Two US aircraft carriers were off the Korean Peninsula back in June. USS Carl Vinson and the USS Ronald Reagan operating together as Trump promised to send an "armada" to North Korea.
However, this was the first time it had happened since the 90s.
Tensions rage as Japan warned North Korea still pose a "critical and imminent" threat to the world. Kim has not fired missile or tested a nuclear bomb since September 15.
Yesterday, it emerged US warships shot down missiles in drills of Scotland amid the crisis with North Korea.

US at the 'door of DOOM' North Korea rages in World War 3 threat after Trump's ships alarm
The Hermit state talked tough in its latest statement released by state-run newspaper Minju.
A spokesman said: "Although the South Korean puppet authorities try to frighten the DPRK by resorting to more frantic anti-DPRK pressure campaign with the backing of the US, the army and the people of the DPRK will never be afraid of it.
"They would be well advised to behave themselves, clearly mindful that they cannot escape the most miserable end together with the US, which is at the door of doom." North Koreas threat comes as the US ramps up its military presence in the Korean peninsula.
Mr Trump upset Kim after he sent two warships to the region this week in a direct show of force to the leader.
The US military and South Korea also conducted a joint military drill last week, further angering the North. US officials added that they are finalising plans to send stealth fighter jets towards the country in November.
American jets have carried out repeated flights by US strategic bombers over the Korean Peninsula of late, in a sign that Washington is readying for what many feel is unthinkable - war.
In another show of force to Pyongyang, US B-1B bombers have flown over South Korea with fighter jet escorts from the allied nation.
And Mr Trump refuses to back down from his fiery rhetoric. He added yesterday: Were so prepared like you wouldnt believe.
You would be shocked to see how totally prepared we are if we need to be." In an added show of military might, a US warship shot down a missile yesterday out of the sky using a weapon with the force of a "10-ton truck going at 600mph", The Daily Star reports.
The vessel was located off the UK coast along with the USS Winston S. Churchill and the USS Mitscher. It came as part of the massive Royal Navy-led war drills dubbed Exercise Joint Warrior.
After a flurry of missile launches by the North and its sixth nuclear test last month, the UN imposed fresh sanctions that included bans or restrictions on the export of coal, iron ore and seafood by Pyongyang.
But, despite condemnation, Kim said he will continue with missile tests.
US Defence Secretary James Mattis and his counterparts from South Korea and Japan vowed to step up diplomatic pressure on the North, saying its weapons programmes posed an unprecedented and grave threat to the region.
Japan has also warned that an attack by North Korea could be imminent. The rogue state's neighbour added that something must be done to prevent World War 3.
Japan's Defence Minister, Itsunori Onodera, said: "The threat posed by North Korea has grown to the unprecedented, critical and imminent level.
"Therefore, we have to take calibrated and different responses to meet with that level of threat." Rob Givens, a former US Air Force brigadier general who served as deputy assistant chief of staff for operations of US Forces Korea said: "If we made a decision to strike a few strategic targets in North Korea it could happen very quickly." .

A fleet of warships from the US, Japan and South Korea practiced shooting down missiles just off the secretive nation's border. Military drills have been stepped up on the Korean peninsula as the threat of nuclear conflict grows.
But tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un refuses to back down and has lashed out at his enemies.
A statement from state-run propaganda rag Minju Joson today reads: "Although the South Korean puppet authorities try to frighten the DPRK by resorting to more frantic anti-DPRK pressure campaign with the backing of the US, the army and the people of the DPRK will never be afraid of it.
"They would be well advised to behave themselves, clearly mindful that they cannot escape the most miserable end together with the US, which is at the door of doom."

Defence firm Raytheon says the SM-3 weapon doesn't explode on target, instead smashing other missiles out of the way – a technique dubbed "hit to kill".
The contractor boasts that the new weapon can strike targets with the force of a "10-ton truck going 600mph". Real-world events demand real-world testing, Dr. Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems president, said.
He added: Strong cooperation between allied nations and industry helps ensure we are ready to defeat complex threats around the world. A source in the White House warned a failure to properly confront the nuclear threat posed by the hermit state will lead to a "darker era" in terms of the crisis.
Japan has also said the risk of an attack is now imminent, adding something must be done immediately to prevent World War 3 from erupting.

U.S. House passes N. Korea sanctions bill honoring late detainee Otto Warmbier - Duration: 2:00.
In recent months, the UN Security Council has adopted two sanctions resolutions that
aim to slash North Korea's export revenue and cap its oil imports.
But the United States has just passed its own bill, to put further financial pressure
on the Kim Jong-un regime.
Won Jung-hwan has more.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill further tightening sanctions on North
Korea.
The 'Otto Warmbier North Korea Nuclear Sanctions Act', which was passed in a 4-hundred-15-to-2
vote on Tuesday, aims to cut off North Korea's links to the global financial system and to
tighten sanctions on the regime.
The act will prohibit aid from international financial institutions for countries which
do not implement UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea, and act as an effective
secondary boycott to tackle foreign companies which are subject to U.S. financial sanctions.
It would also punish foreign banks that deal with North Korean laborers, more than 50-thousand
of whom have been sent abroad to amass hard currency for Pyongyang.
This could take a serious blow to the regime,... once it gets a green light from the Senate,...
as it is seen to target Chinese companies and banks doing business with the regime,..
meaning it'll have a serious and a direct effect on the regime.
It also reflects Washington's efforts bring more attention to the issue of the North Korea's
clear human rights violations.
And all this,... coming on top of the already existing UN Security Council sanctions resolutions
that aim to cut the regime's 3 billion dollar annual export revenue by a third and cap its
imports of oil.
The legislation has been named after Otto Warmbier, a 22-year old Amerian student who
was imprisoned in 2016 for taking down a propaganda poster during his trip to Pyongyang-- and
who later died after being returned to the U.S. in a comatose state in June.
