in the middle of the month and it was an interesting day because they launched a ballistic missile from a train on the same day south korea launched a ballistic missile from a submarine. as you mentioned in your introduction, isa, that submarine is now being put into the water. so is that a factor in all of this? is it a factor that kim jong-un's sister has been hinting at a resumption of diplomacy with south korea which could pave the way to talks with the u.s.? or will north korea continue to launch things and will tensions continue to ratchet up in this part of the world? we have to wait and see. >> plenty of coincidences or not, we shall see. will ripley in taipei. good to see you, my friend. now, in his first speech before the u.n. general assembly, israel's new prime minister made headlines both for what he talked about and what he didn't. in his 25-minute speech, naftali bennett made no mention of the palestinians. take a listen.
