The United Nations Security Council has called a meeting for Wednesday to address the missile
launch.
The U.S., Japan and China have already condemned the North's latest provocation... as a threat
to peace on the Korean Peninsula.
Song Ji-sun has more on the global reaction.
Washington is taking the situation very seriously,... but U.S. President Trump is certain he has
the situation under control.
(English) "A missile was launched a little while ago
from North Korea.
I will only tell you that we will take care of it.
We have General Mattis in the room with us and we've had a long discussion on it.
It is a situation that we will handle."
But the U.S. is also keeping the door for talks open... as Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson,
added that "diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now" and that "the U.S. remains
committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearization" in a statement.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called the latest provocation a "violent act" that
can "never be tolerated."
(Japanese) "Japan will not back down in the face of provocation
but will maximize pressure on North Korea.
We will continue to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people of Japan under the
strong Japan-U.S. alliance."
Beijing also condemned Pyongyang's violation of international resolutions banning ballistic
missile launches.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang urged Pyongyang to stop actions that
accelerate tension on the Korean peninsula... and asked all concerned nations to act carefully
for the sake of keeping peace in the region.
Upon the request of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan, the UN Security Council will hold
an urgent meeting in New York on Wednesday to address Pyongyang's latest ICBM launch.

South Korea, U.S., Japan condemn latest North Korea missile launch - Duration: 2:42.
South Korea and its international partners have strongly condemned North Korea's missile
launch.
To bring us more on those reactions we have on the line with us, Kwon Jang-ho at South
Korea's foreign ministry.
Jang-ho, apart from President Moon's remarks, I believe Seoul has issued another statement.
Can you give us the details?
Good morning, Mark.
Seoul's foreign ministry issued a statement strongly condemning this latest missile launch,
saying the regime's repeated provocations not only threaten the Korean peninsula but
also world peace.
It said this latest action will only lead to further international isolation and stronger
sanctions.
Seoul stressed that Pyongyang needs to realize that only by giving up its nuclear weapons
can it hope to guarantee its security and economic development.
The statement added that Seoul will firmly respond to any provocation, and that they
will continue to work closely with the U.S. to act as a deterrent force and protect the
South Korean people.
Strong words from South Korea, and we will continue to watch what actions Seoul takes.
How has the international community reacted so far?
Let's start with the U.S., where President Donald Trump issued a very short statement,
soon after the launch.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, he said, quote,
"I will only tell you that we will take care of it" and that "it is a situation that we
will handle."
This is a far more muted response than we are used to seeing from President Trump, compared
to previous rhetoric of "fire and fury" and threats to "totally destroy" the North.
Trump added that nothing had changed on Washington's approach to North Korea and they took it very
seriously.
U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, issued a separate statement condemning the launch,
but also added that "diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now" and that "the U.S.
remains committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearization."
In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, also added his condemnation of the launch, calling
it a "violent act" that can "never be tolerated."
He vowed to put maximum pressure on the regime to give up its nuclear weapons.
The U.S. and Japan have also called on the UN Security Council to convene an emergency
meeting on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, there is so far no word from China and Russia, North Korea's two closest allies.
Both had said the recent lull in provocations could be the basis to reopen six-party talks,
but it looks like those statements have to be reevaluated now.
Back to you.

New North Korea Missile Can Hit Anywhere In The United States - North Korea News - Duration: 1:57.
North Korea just launched another missile, which it says can hit anywhere in the US.
I'm going to tell you everything you need to know, here for you on IO.
Welcome back to inform overload, your youtube source for trending news, I'm charlotte
dobre.
Don't forget to like and subscribe.
North Korea has been relatively quiet over the last couple months.
They hadn't tested a missile since September.
But on Wednesday morning, they test fired a ballistic missile that they claim is a new
type that can strike anywhere on the US mainland.
Its called a Hwasong-15, a more advanced version of the intercontinental ballistic missile
that it launched back in july.
The missile was reported to have flown for 50 minutes at a high trajectory.
It reached 2796 miles, or 4500 kilometers above the earth, which if you didn't know
is 10 times higher than the interneational space station.
It came down and 621 miles from the launch site, off the west coast of japan.
The US defence secretary, james mattis, said that this missile went higher than any previous
shot they've taken.
According to north Korean propaganda, This missile has the capability of carrying a super
large heavy warhead.
While North Korea announced this on the state news, it simultaneously declared itself a
complete nuclear state.
Kim jong un oversaw the missile test, which launched in Pyongsong.
At this time, it hasn't been completely proven that they can add a miniature nuclear
warhead with a long range missile.
Yes, the missile could have the capability to hit the mainland on its own, but if you
add a nuclear warhead to that missile, its going to make it heavier, which will change
the trajectory.
This was north korea's 20th missile test of the year.
All of these tests are prohibited under UN sanctions placed on north korea.
South korea, in response, tested its own missile.
South Koreas president, Moon Jae in said that he is worried that the US could launch a pre
emptive strike on north korea, which could escalate into a full-fledged war.
Japans Prime Minister Shinzo abe also called the missile launch, intolerable, and called
for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
The US secretary of state said that the US is still committed to finding a peaceful path.
President trump was quoted saying 'we will take care of it, it is a situation that we
will handle.
That is all for now, and thanks for watching IO.

Hi Heather well
It's very hard to imagine just how this will be handled
The Secretary of State has said that diplomatic options are still out there, but again
It's hard to imagine exactly what they are here is what the vice president said
all options are on the table and
We will continue to

abandons its nuclear and ballistic missile programs once and for all

North Korea says it could hit anywhere in the United States and analysts say they may be right an

2,800 miles high before landing in the sea this was North Korea's 15th ballistic missile launch of the year
This is the actual order Kim jong-un signed to authorize the launch it said quote

but Fox News contributor Mark teason says that we need to decide as a
Country are we okay with Kim jong-un being able to hold all of our children hostages to nuclear blackmail
He says if we're not okay with that then president Trump should take military action
My proposal is simply that the President of the United States
Should stop the nuclear the North's nuclear and ballistic missile testing by declaring that
Henceforth the United States is going to enforce a ballistic missile
no-fly zone over North Korea and a nuclear no test zone and that anytime the North Koreans attempted to launch a a
Ballistic missile we're going to take it out. We might take it out with our missile defenses
We might take it out on that on the ground if they tried to take a nuclear test
We're going to take it out, and he should give them assurances that it'll be a limited strike
Just like his strike in Syria was when when he took note of the Syrians
Violated the nofa they were Obama redline and and his chemical weapons he just took out the base
But he didn't overthrow them and give them that assurance that if they don't retaliate that'll be it
But we can stop their testing and I doubt that they would respond

Well there is drama on Capitol Hill imagine that after Democrats boycott a meeting with President Trump just days before a possible government shutdown
This as the Senate takes a major step on tax reform Doug mackelway joins us now live from Washington DC
With where in the world Republicans go from here good morning Doug
Morning to you Heather's passage of the tax bill through the Senate Budget Committee was a significant victory for Republicans
especially because two GOP committee men who had expressed reservations about it bob corker of Tennessee and Ron Johnson of, Wisconsin
voted yes now that does not necessarily mean, they're gonna support the full bill, but it's an encouraging sign for Republicans I
Think what's gonna propel us to success here is within the Republican Conference everybody agrees we need
pro-growth tax reform
And so it's really just that legislative process you're seeing the sausage-making occur right now
Make sure we can as good a package as possible
The straight party-line vote 12 to 11 in the Budget Committee capped a wild day that began with this presidential tweet
Meeting with Chuck and Nancy today about keeping government open and working problems
is
that
A problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our country unchecked our week on crime and want to substantially raise taxes
I don't see a deal well Senate and House minority leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi
Retaliated to that by boycotting the White House meeting of the big four congressional leaders
Given that the president doesn't see a deal between Democrats and the White House
Leader Pelosi, and I believe the best path forward is to continue negotiating with our Republican
counterparts in Congress instead
the counter-puncher in chief returned fire later at that meeting by keeping Schumer and Pelosi's nametags in place at their empty
Chairs next to the president while McConnell and Ryan awkwardly sat one seat away
So they decided not to show up
They've been all talk and they've been no action, and now it's even worse now. It's not even Talk
So today while the Senate could begin floor debate on the tax bill as early as 2:00 p.m.
The president has to say Charles, Missouri where he will push the tax bill
No lack of drama here in DC
Absolutely not and one of the cinders
I think it was senator Johnson yesterday said this is the part where they make the sausage
I was like well. Is it turkey sausage, or is it pork sausage? Well. It's not pretty. It's not pretty whatever it is
That is true all right. Thank you so much darling
Well Nancy Pelosi meantime had plenty of time to praise embattled representative John Conyers on Sunday

They're not there representing the opposition party
They're there is the minority leaders of the two chambers in Congress, and it is a major disappointment
That's why they're the minority party that Sean. It's why they lost
1000 seats in state legislatures in the house in the Senate in the governorships
And of course the biggest prize of all the White House
It's based on the policy the Democratic Party is talking about presidential elections instead of passing policy
and I'm telling you the American people see it too a
Person even folks who didn't vote for this president come up and tell us all the time they can't stand the constant negativity
resistance lies and the rest of all the blather a government that functions, and he's leading the way and
Then there's this overnight Congressman John Conyers
Spotted flying coach on a plane back to Detroit igniting rumors that he may be heading home to resign
This comes as a top Democrat ramps up some pressure on the veteran lawmaker to bow out
following the sex scandal avalanche an aide says the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is trying to convince the

Welcome back to Fox and Friends first
It is 416 in the morning here on the East Coast a Fox News Alert for you
North Korea launching an intercontinental ballistic missile that has the power to reach the US mainland a president Trump
Promising to quote take care of it
So how should we respond here now to weigh in is asia analyst and the author of nuclear showdown north korea takes on the world
Gordon, Chang. Thank you so much for joining us this morning really appreciate it
Thank You Heather, so let's talk a little bit about what happened yesterday this ICBM test it flew 2,800 miles into space
2,800 miles up the highest that's ever gone it flew for 53 minutes
And then it landed off the Chaput Japanese coast about 600 miles away
And then we hear that this could reach any city here in the US were you surprised by what happened yesterday
You know I was surprised that they launched it this time
I thought that they were deep into preparations for the military's winter training cycle
So I thought that we would not see a missile launch until February
But you know in terms of the improvements in range
We shouldn't be surprised
We know that they're making constant
Improvements whether they test or not and so the United States has an obligation right now to do its best to make sure that North
Korea doesn't have the money for missile launches or detonation of nukes and we can do that and that is the key you say
To keep the money away, and how do we do that?
Well president Trump has is September 21 executive order, which tells the world you do business with North Korea
You don't do business with the United States
So we need to enforce that and that isn't not only about countries that sell things or buy things from North Korea
It's also countries that handle the money for North Koreans and that basically is China
So we need to start imposing costs on North Korea's backers because we can strangle, North Korea
And we don't have to use force to do it so there's so many
Non forceful options we heard Senator Lindsey Graham yesterday with all this war talk and that introduces a lot of fatalism into
the global conversation
We need to start talking about
Sanctions instead right but Gordon at the same time
You know people hear you saying this and obviously this is what people want they they don't want a war they want this
Negotiations a diplomatic solution to be able to work
But we've heard about these sanctions before and clearly North Korea is getting further and further ahead in terms of their nuclear capabilities
We're here, South Korea saying that they could reach those within a year
Well, yeah
And I think that the North Koreans will have a proven capability within a let's say a nine month time frame
Maybe even less than that
But we also are hearing that the sanctions are
Working so for instance junior officials in Pyongyang who are part of the regime's favorite class are not getting their rations from the special distribution
channel we are hearing that the regime is rounding up children putting them in labor camps so they can turn out products and
the acceleration of what our informal tax is indicating cash flow problems
And then secretary Tosun also talked about fuel shortages
So there's a lot of anecdotal evidence suggesting the regime is hurting and I cam pain is actually starting to work
But I also think that President Trump needs to ramp it up all right well Gordon. Thank you so much
We certainly hope that that works. We appreciate your joining us this morning with your insight as always
Thank you

North Korea fires 'SUPER LARGE WARHEAD' that can 'annihilate any United States city' - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:36.
North Korea fires 'SUPER-LARGE WARHEAD' that can 'annihilate any US city'
NORTH Korea can now destroy any city in the US after developing a devastating new ballistic
missile, Pyongyang has claimed.
The Hermit Kingdom made the announcement on Wednesday following the rocket test that shattered
a three-month lull of missile launches.
Top military boffins fired the intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM from a site north of
the capital on Tuesday.
It flew about 590 miles and hit an altitude of 2,780 miles before it crashed into Japanese
waters.
State-controlled media wasted no time to capitalise on the successful Hwasong-15 test and bragged
of leader Kim Jong-un's pride in the weapon.
It added: "The development and advancement of the strategic weapon of the North are to
defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country from the US imperialists'
nuclear blackmail policy.
"We also wish to ensure the peaceful life of the people, and therefore, they would not
pose any threat to any country and region as long as the interests of Pyongyang are
not infringed on.
This is our solemn declaration."
"As a responsible nuclear power and peace-loving state, North Korea will make every possible
effort to serve the noble purpose of defending peace and stability of the world."
US defence secretary Jim Mattis said the missile was the most-advanced that had been seen by
army officials before declaring it could hit any target in the country.
He added: "It went higher, frankly, than any previous shot they've taken.
"It's a research and development effort on their part to continue building ballistic
missile that could threaten everywhere in the world, basically."
US President Donald Trump – alarmed by the North's actions – declared he would "take
care" of the situation.

US On Brink Of WWIII After Trump Responds To N. Korea ICBM Missile Launch - Duration: 7:43.
US On Brink Of WWIII After Trump Responds To N. Korea ICBM Missile Launch
Never since the Cuban missile crisis of the early 60s, when John F. Kennedy was president
and we were in the middle of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, have we been so close
total global annihilation.
US Secretary of Defence James Mattis in a statement earlier today confirmed that the
fetus looking Dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un has now fired its highest-ever intercontinental
ballistic missile and it poses a dire worldwide threat.
Later the Pentagon confirmed that the missile had flown for about 1,000km (620 miles) before
falling into the Sea of Japan.The Japanese government released an official statement
saying the missile traveled for about 50 minutes but did not actually fly over Japan, as some
have done in the past.
The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump was briefed while the missile was actually
still in the air, to which he afterward said: �We will take care of it.� South Korea�s
military later said it had responded with a missile exercise of its own.
This will get ugly.Via Freedom Daily:
After months of threats and tests, North Korea�s despot dictator, Kim Jong-un, flexed his muscles
and launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) this morning.
The little �Rocket Man� likely chuckled to himself, basking in the glow as he envisioned
the explosion of what ended up being his target.
Now, for the first time since the end of the Cold War, Hawaii has just something that indicates
the threat of World War III could be a reality, as other world leaders warn of the same thing.
This is North Koreas latest provocation of war that could be their last after �two
missiles flew directly over Japanese territory, terrifying citizens and sparking a round of
worldwide condemnations and sanctions,� according to Express.
The Japanese government has issued an urgent warning that the final blow could be coming
within the �next few days.� Hawaii has been under direct threat and they aren�t
taking any chances after seeing the Jong-un is not willing to stop until President Donald
Trump personally makes him, which looks like will be sooner, rather than later.
Fox News reports:
North Korea fired an unidentified ballistic missile in the middle of the night local time
Wednesday, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News.
South Korea�s Yonhap News Agency, which first reported the launch, said the missile
�flew eastward from the vicinity of Pyongyang� toward the Sea of Japan, according to South
Korean military officials.
The missile launch happened around 3 a.m. in North Korea.
South Korea�s military has reportedly staged a �precision strike� missile exercise
in response.
Japan�s Prime Minister�s Office for disaster and crisis management information tweeted
shortly after the report: �North Korea launched a missile that has the possibility of arriving
in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of our country,� according to a translation.
There have been signs indicating Kim Jong Un�s regime was planning a missile launch
in recent days.
Japan�s Kyodo News reported Monday the Japanese government detected radio signals pointing
to a possible missile test in the near future.
It was only a matter of time before North Korea tried this since Kim Jong-un has been
strangely silent for a few months since his last launch in late July.
There�s no mistaking that what the dictator did was an act of war against Japan, and now
it�s time for him to pay the price for his actions.
Today�s launch comes only hours after Hawaii resumed Cold War-era nuclear siren tests after
getting word of a pending threat from North Korea.
According to Reuters:
Wailing air-raid sirens will be sounded for about 60 seconds from more than 400 locations
across the central Pacific islands starting at 11:45 a.m. on Friday, in a test that will
be repeated on the first business day of each month thereafter, state officials said.
Monthly tests of the nuclear attack siren are being reintroduced in Hawaii in conjunction
with public service announcements urging residents of the islands to �get inside, stay inside
and stay tuned� if they should hear the warning.
�Emergency preparedness is knowing what to expect and what to do for all hazards,�
Hawaii Emergency Management Agency chief Vern Miyagi said in one video message posted online.
He did not mention North Korea specifically.
But the nuclear attack sirens, discontinued since the 1980s when the Cold War drew to
a close, are being reactivated in light of recent test launches of intercontinental ballistic
missiles from North Korea deemed capable of reaching the state, agency spokeswoman Arlina
Agbayani told Reuters.
A single 150-kiloton weapon detonated over Pearl Harbor on the main island of Oahu would
be expected to kill 18,000 people outright and leave 50,000 to 120,000 others injured
across a blast zone several miles wide, agency spokesman Richard Rapoza said, citing projections
based on assessments of North Korea�s nuclear weapons technology.
While casualties on that scale would be unprecedented on U.S. soil, a fact sheet issued by the agency
stressed that 90 percent of Hawaii�s 1.4 million-plus residents would survive �the
direct effects of such an explosion.�
Oahu, home to a heavy concentration of the U.S. military command structure, as well as
the state capital, Honolulu, and about two-thirds of the state�s population, is seen as an
especially likely target for potential North Korean nuclear aggression against the United
States.
Japan can only take so much and have appeared to have reached that threshold.
For how small Kim Jong-un is, he�s sure making a huge mistake by playing big boy games.
He doesn�t want to get into a war with America since we have the best army in the world and
could obliterate his country from the planet in a matter of seconds.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis stressed that the U.S. is trying to exhaust all diplomatic
and economic options to end North Korea�s missile program, however, those efforts are
wearing out quickly with the persistence of refusal to cooperate from North Korea�s
leader.
It can be difficult to tell when the diplomatic options have been exhausted because your enemy
might be sneaky, or duplicitous in some way, and it�s the responsibility of a country
has to try and determine fact from fiction.
That�s not the case with North Korea who has been clear about their intentions by coming
right out in the open and announcing their plans for a fight.The Japanese government
said they would �never accept North Korea�s continuous provocative behavior� and PM
Shinzo Abe called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
The EU called the launch a �further unacceptable violation� of North Korea�s international
obligation.
Britain�s ambassador to the UN called it �a reckless act�
Although condemnation of the launch was swift and plentiful It�s pretty much a given no
one will do anything until President Trump gives the order, and we can rest assured he
will not hesitate in giving the order at the precise moment.
As always the safety of the world rests on our shoulders.
And it seems like this time the fat ugly kid from North Korea is on a suicide mission.

US - President Trump retweets anti-Muslim videos from far-right groups - Duration: 3:42.
Another is described as showing an Islamist mob pushing a teenager off a rooftop
while the third claims to show a Muslim smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The footage was originally posted by Jayda Fransen,
deputy leader of the far-right group Britain First.
For more on this we can cross live now to Washington,
to speak with our correspondent, Philip Crowther.
This isn't the first time Trump's caused controversy on Twitter is it?
Certainly not, he does so almost every single morning but this is serious stuff,
and the question of course now here is:
where does the president get this stuff from,
other than just perusing Twitter.
There is a way that the President of the United States
gets ahold of these types of tweets and more importantly of course
the question is why does he deem it appropriate to retweet these kinds of
inflammatory messages that are unverified videos we don't know where
they're from we don't know where these are, even muslims committing these acts
of violence why does he believe it is right for him to post those to millions
and millions of followers.
But you're absolutely right this is not the very first time he does this.
First of all, there has been anti-muslim sentiment and rhetoric
from the US president both as a president and as a presidential candidate.
Remember that he wanted Muslims to be banned from entering the United States,
then tried to push a travel ban that kept those from seven Muslim majority countries
from entering the United States - that travel ban was then stopped -
but then he's also retweeted messages from white supremacists,
from neo Nazis, from followers of his who are clearly racists.
This time around we, at least, believe that the origin of this tweet or at
least the president's attention turning to it, might be from a conservative
commentator who also retweeted one of those messages on Tuesday, so one day ago.
But again for those tweets this kind of inflammatory messaging that could turn
into more anti-muslim sentiment in the United States to come from the account
of the President of the United States well that is something that is quite unbelievable.
Now you mentioned it just there of course,
Trump has repeatedly been accused of fanning the flames of Islamophobia,
but this could work rather well with his, with his base couldn't it?
Yeah it could actually because his base so far after all,
those who are sticking with Donald Trump those who voted for him and still
believe that everything he's doing right now and has done during his presidency
has been the right thing to do, will also agree with this, even the most extreme
behavior and the most extreme sentences and messaging coming from this White
House is not something that is opposed by around thirty to thirty five percent
of the US population those who voted for Donald Trump and are sticking with him
there is anti-muslim sentiment in the United States a lot of it coming from
those who voted for Donald Trump most of those are Republicans as well
this might go down rather well with them this also by the way went down very well
with the person who tweeted these messages in the first place the deputy
leader of this - call it a political party of you will - but an extremist group in
Great Britain, she sent a message later on congratulating herself essentially
and Donald Trump the US president for retweeting those messages to millions of followers.
Iit's a rather serious matter when the President of the United States does this,
and it is not the very first time.

U.S., China, Japan condemn North Korea missile launch - Duration: 1:56.
The United Nations Security Council has called a meeting for Wednesday to address the missile
launch.
That meeting was called by South Korea, the U.S. and Japan... while China also condemned
the launch.
Song Ji-sun has more on the global reaction.
Washington is taking the situation very seriously,... but U.S. President Trump is certain he has
the situation under control.
(English) "A missile was launched a little while ago
from North Korea.
I will only tell you that we will take care of it.
We have General Mattis in the room with us and we've had a long discussion on it.
It is a situation that we will handle."
But the U.S. is also keeping the door for talks open... as Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson,
added that "diplomatic options remain viable and open, for now" and that "the U.S. remains
committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearization" in a statement.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called the latest provocation a "violent act" that
can "never be tolerated."
(Japanese) "Japan will not back down in the face of provocation
but will maximize pressure on North Korea.
We will continue to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people of Japan under the
strong Japan-U.S. alliance."
Beijing also condemned Pyongyang's violation of international resolutions banning ballistic
missile launches.
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang urged Pyongyang to stop actions that
accelerate tension on the Korean peninsula... and asked all concerned nations to act carefully
for the sake of keeping peace in the region.
Upon the request of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan, the UN Security Council will hold
an urgent meeting in New York on Wednesday to address Pyongyang's latest ICBM launch.
