Instead its iran. This after irans president called President Trumps rhetoric ignorant and absurd. Trump tells Football Players who kneel the nfl hits back showing trump shows a lack of respect for the league. The controversy exploding. Thats all ahead in the news room. Were following breaking news out of north korea and iran. Two mysterious seismic events, separate events that have been detected near the area of north Koreas Nuclear site. The cause unclear. A Nuclear Watchdog group says neither or the quake does not appear to be manmade. Two south korean Officials Say so far the Analysis Shows it was a natural earthquake. One official says there is a quote slim possibility the seismic activity was caused by the collapse of a nuclear test site. President trump flaming his war of words with north korea during a Campaign Rally for a Alabama Senate candidate. The president once again taking aim at the north korean deck ta tors nuclear ambitions. Listen. We cant have madmen out there shooting rockets all over the place. By the way, rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. Meanwhile, in defiance of the u. N. And President Trump, iran is flexing its nuclear capabilities. Iran testing a new Ballistic Missile that is capable of carrying multiple cwarheads and reaching u. S. Allies. We have all of this covered with correspondents around the globe. Le lets begin with ramin. Good to see you. Is this iran missile test a likely message to the president of the United States after his words at the u. N. . Yes, it is. Its showing United States of america and especially Trump Administration in postspeech at u. N. Iran wants to show it doesnt try to be obedient to any outside pressure. It is flexing muscles and give a lesson to trump. Is this likely the end of the missile test . Was that just kind of one to send a strong message from iran or more plans or to Say Something more bigger about the iran deal . It gives some hint to the iran deal because we see iranian side, iran wants to prove that nuclear deal is not renegotiatable but is ready for grand bargain for more negotiation about anything but nuclear deal. Even missile test can be negotiated but on different ageneral daje agenda and different way. Not the way america wants to impreez pressui impose pressure on iran. Thank you so much for your time. Meantime, eyes on north korea today where seismic activity was detected in the area where the country has conducted nuclear test in the past. The magnitude 3. 5 was felt in the region early this morning and seismic activity is the first time they have conducted nuclear test. What more do we know about the gut instincts of experts there in south korea . They believe it was natural occurrence. They believe the weves show it has to be natural. They say its a different pattern if its man made. The interesting fact is it happened just more than three and a half miles from where nuclear test number six happened. This is where they carried out a number. In fact, all of those nuclear tests. This is why theres been so much analysis, so much discussion going on. 3. 5 magnitude earthquake is not unusual in north korea. Over the past few months we have seen a couple of events like this. The fact its so close to where north korea, just a matter of weeks ago carried out that nuclear test number six has concerned people. At this point, south korean officials believes it was a natural occurrence. Of course, theres been increased tensions between the u. S. And north korea. Weve had the north Korean Foreign minister suggesting there could be a Hydrogen Bomb test over the pacific ocean. Weve had that direct message from the north Korean Leader to the u. S. President over the last day or so. Of course, tensions are high. Thats why this is being focused on so much closer. Unless we hear otherwise from the u. S. Geological survey, till waiting for their answer, the koreans believe it was natural. Thanks so much. We are watching the floor of the United Nations where various country leaders are speaking right now. Rhetoric between President Trump and north korea continues to escalate via tweet and otherwise north koreas state media today referring to trumps you thiuni nations speech as rubbish. The war of words getting personal between trump and kim jongun. Trump calling the leader sort of whacko, a mad man, rocket han. Hes said it while on the floor there at the u. N. Hes talked about it via tweet and in alabama last night. Kim jongun has called trump a barking dog, mentally deranged and a dotard meaning a lunatic. Hes called him other things as well. Richard, north koreas foreign minister already said this week that potentially there could be bomb tested over the pacific. I cant say for sure. I think its likely that the foreign minister of north korea who has been around the u. N. Will return verbal fire. I cant believe that he will let pass the invective hurled by President Trump last tuesday. Those words you put up on the screen, not the average tone here during u. N. General Assembly High levels speakers week which has been the super bowl for diplomacy. Obviously, the stakes have gone wide open here. The north Korean Foreign minister is scheduled to speak in about an hour and a half, two hours. He also meets later today at the u. N. With the secretary general. One of the angles that people who think theres some hope in brokering an accord think the secretary general could be the honest, neutral broker. Hes offered his services but no one is taking him up on that so far. Fred. We will wait. About an hour, hour and a half from now more from the foreign minister. Thank you so much. Always good to see you. Appreciate it. Next, a fight is breaking out between the top man in politics and several top ath lets in this country. Why steph curry and lebron james are going on offense against the president of the United States, next. Its not just the nba. The nfl is in the cross hairs as well.

We continue to follow breaking news out of mexico where a 6. 1 earthquake has been reported. It continues to rise. Cnn rosa flores is in mexico. Were people able to feel that activity hundreds of miles away from mexico city . Reporter in mexico city it was felt in certain areas. We did hear the sirens. Behind my camera theres a at the present time city with a family thats been waiting for days, waiting to hear news about their loved ones. Let me show you whats going on. These rescues stopped when the seismic alert went off. These men and women are risking their lives by being on the top of this mountain of debris. They all ran out to safer ground. It has i was saying, as everything normalized and im going to bring my voice down because we have seen this in other locations and we have seen it here. When ever rescuers raise their fists up into the air, that means that they presumably have seen signs of life. I believe they are continuing their operations and using machinery again. Just to let you know, when ever rescue workers raise their fists up in the air, they believe they have found life or listening for signs of life. This is the first time this morning that we have seen that happen. As you see its a very active scene. A lot of rescue workers on top of that mountain of rubble trying to get to the people down below. There is a list of about 50 people who are missing. A lot of their families are in the tent city. They are hoping and praying they will get good news. This morning is the first time rescuers started using big machinery. They are using cranes to remove the biggest chunk of debris. That is giving them some hope to see this crane removing the big pieces of the top roof i cant begin to explain how fragile this situation is. The Family Members are still alive and well inside. Rosa, you did a great job touching on that moment when everyone is encouraged to be quiet so they can zero in on any potential sounds. Explain a little bit further how that goes and the level of cooperation in the area to allow searchers to try to zero on in on any sound they may hear from the flattened mass. Let me ta let. Reporter let me take you through it. Ive talked to some of the volunteers on the rubble when that happens. They will hear someone, one of the volunteers or one of the rescue workers scream out silence. I need silence. I believe i hear signs of life. That triggers everyone else thats there to raise their fists up high. As soon as that happens, its almost like a wave because it starts with the rescuers and then it grows to everyone around this community. You will see us whisper. You will see everybody around here whether its police officers, volunteers, friends, Family Members. Theres people who are bringing food to make sure the workers and volunteers can continue working. Everybody is silent. Its an incredible sight to hear because you can almost hear a pin drop. Thats the moment that people know these rescuers are listening for signs of life and also trying to follow those signs of life through this rubble. Its very critical and the response that we have seen here is incredible. You will not hear a thing and sometimes the only thing you hear are literally dogs barking. When you think of the size and magnitude of mexico city and its such a hustle and bustle and for do you hear a pin drop in the middle of the day is an incredible sight to see. Just that collective effort to try to find anyone who still maybe trapped more than four days now. Its an extraordinary effort. Thank you so much for bringing it to us from mexico city.

Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a [ bleep ] off the field right now. Hes fired. Thats the president of the United States last night in alabama now upping the ante using harsh language when it comes to sports and politics. Trump describing using choice words there how nfl team owners should punish players who neil during the National Anthem. Similar to how 49er quarterback k Colin Kaepernick spearheaded a year ago. The nfl commissioner saying divisive like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the nfl, our great game and all of our players and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities. The executive director of the Nfl Players Association also chiming in with a tweet this morning saying this quote we will never back down. We can no longer afford to stick to sports, end quote. Were covering this from all angles. We heard the president in alabama last night but what more now. What new messages from the president on this issue today . Reporter nothing new today on the specific question of the nfl players protesting by taking a knee during the National Anthem. Those remarks sparked a backlash, an on end off twitter not just by black athletes or black people but from across the racial spectrum. People who took issue not just with the president condemning these players for protesting peacefully, largely of africanamerican players protesting peacefully at nfl games but also the fact he used such harsh language calling them sons of bs which doesnt insult the players, it insults their mothers as well. Theres been a very harsh response. This is not just about the nfl. Its also about the nba. Listen to golden state ward yours guard explaining why he doesnt want to go to the white house to be honored his team won the nba championship. Here is what he had to say at the teams media day yesterday. Watch. We dont stand for basically what our president has, the things he said and the things that he hasnt said in the right times and we wont stand for it. By acting and not going hopefully that will inspire some change when it comes to what we tolerate in this country and what is accepted and what we turn a blind eye to. Reporter this morning on twitter one of them the president sent out a message saying steph curry is hesitating so the invitation is withdrawn. The president saying its an honor to be able to come and visit the white house. Listen to how another nba star cleveland cavalier star lebron james is responding to the president rescinding the invitation. You bum, steph curry already said he aint going to therefore aint no invite. Going to white house was a great honor until you showed up. Were looking at an escalating war of words between the president and black athletes and one thing that a lot of folk vs be have been pointing out. He had such passion when it comes to these nfl protest. He showed more passion in responding to that than he did responding to the neonazi and kkk members and supporters marching in charlotteville last month. We could see more protests, not fewer protests in response to the president s remarks. One more thing i want to mention. This is similar, in way, to what we saw last month with the Kennedy Center honors. Thats the annual reception each december honoring artists and performers. Several performers said they were not planning to attend the special white house reception in conjunction with that event and in the end the president and first lady decided they werent going to participate in any of the Kennedy Center festivities in order to allow the honorees to take part without political distraction. You have artist, performers and athlete who is are at odds with the president and dont see it a as great honor to be invited to his white house. That does put a lot into perfective too because youre now underscoring the divorcing of having any kind of facetoface encounters on very tenuous issues. Theyre not going away. It only seems to intensify. Thanks so much. Already. Good to see you. I have to say, this is sad, isnt it . Doesnt this seem very sad you have this kind of tenuous circumstance taking place and instead of getting to the heart of the matter, now we have on display this fervor that says not going to confront the issue. Im going to ininvite, disinvite. Is it uninviting steph curry or is it the entire team . It appears to be the entire team. This isnt something we were sure if they were invited any way. It seems that comment, steph currys response is what made President Trump tweet earlier this morning saying uninvited, withdrawn is the invitation to go celebrate the nba championship there at the white house. He used the word bum in there. This is a player, the most recognizable athlete on the planet in lebron james using strong words towards the president of our country. A player who President Trump has tweeted positively about saying hes great person. Thats where i think this is unique in that the big names, the heavy hitters in the sports world going against the heaviest hitter in politics in President Trump. Our nation has a rich history of athlete activism from tommy smith, jesse owens and on and on the list goes. This is a time with these big names where these are dynamic times where were seeing this intersection of sports and politics and the attempt to create positive change in our society. I say this is sad because isnt it the president that helps set the tone. Isnt there an expectation that a president under any circumstances should be the one to help bring calm, propose calm or answer but instead in this form that were seeing, just beginning with last night, but it goes back even further if we talk about other incidents as of late, that hes helping to incite a fervor . I dont think hes inciting anything. If youre going to get into politics and youre an athlete then welcome to the big league and enjoy the blow back youre going to get and the punches that will come at you. Its sad and embarrassing that athletes somehow think they will make some big statement by saying theyre not going to go to the white house and the questions of what. Its an honor to go to the white house no matter who the president of the United States of america is. For lebron james to call the president a bum is pretty disgraceful but hell probably get a lot of street kred and a lot of players where high five him and chest bump him. I think its a bad example to set. I think its bad example for young people. I think its a bad example for the country. I think the president here was making it very clear. If you dont want to come to the white house, then im not going to invite you to the white house. If youre going to sit out there and think that youre bigger than this country or bigger than this nation or what the white house stands for then youre not going to be invited. Im not going to get into some game with you so move on. I also got to say this just for a second. Isnt there a greater expectation that the president could be a bit more graceful in saying well it might be an honor to come to the white house. Isnt it about his tone . The use of language last night son of bs. Showing that kind of passion or even his physical and vocal demeanor where at a completely different level than weve been able to see from him for the circumstances of charlottesville when people wanted to see that kind of level of intensity but they didnt. With charlottesville, lets be clear, they just declared state of emergency when he made his first comments there and gotten off the phone with a democratic governor who said he was terrifying of massive riots and people dying that night. We would have that debate another day. Last night youre talk about sports and athathletes. I have a lot of athletes that come after me on twitter. If you want to get in the world of politics, dont expect us to give you a hug when you start trashing the white house and the president. Donald trump is unorthodox. No one can say he will be a traditional president just the way he uses twitter and fight back. When youre invited to come to the white house, i dont care whose in the white house. Its an honor to go to the white house. If you win a national which i will, if you win a title. Donald trump tweeted out when E Lebron James was named player of the year, he said what great guy. He was talking about how great lebron james was. For the president to fight back now, i dont have a problem with it at all. As he was considering not going he said perhaps that would b an avenue to inspire change in terms of what we tolerate. What would he change . Thats my question. What are you going to change . Heres my issue with this. First of all, i dont appreciate talking about what lebron james is doing as somehow trying to get street cred or something related to chest bumping. Thats ghettoizing this problem. You spoke. Let me speak. Hold on. Let me hear the whole context. Let me speak. When muhammad ali protested the vietnam war and artists and athletes came to his side, he was he became a national hero. What these players are doing is doing exactly what donald trump said he does but i dont believe he actually knows how to do which is make America Great again. Thats why theyre doing. What are they protest something. Thats what their doing by protesting what they feel is injustice in this country. The fact of the matter is that i have never seen and never thought in my lifetime that i would be able to witness such a di di dic dictorial president as donald trump who makes comments by calling these athletes sobs but to say they should not exercise their First Amendment right. Im not saying they dont have the right. Theyre employees of private institutions. This president just went up to rally and bullied them from his pulpit. He didnt bully them. They are grown men. He called them sobs. Lebron james is a grown man. You dont bully lebron james. Watch how he plays basketball. He bullies everybody else. Hes an amazing athlete. He not only called them sobs but he was offering challenge to the nfl owners. He says this kind of display means they ought to be fired. He was speaking directly to the issue. I agree. Look, ill say this. I think the nfl needs to make it clear that they stand behind the american men and women of all races who fauought, protecting d died to defend the flag. For them to allow their employees to sit there on the sideline during the National Anthem is a disgrace. It is protected under freedom of speech. Where does it stop . The commissioner had statement and addressing this saying it is american to allow his players to express themselves in this fashion. Coy, his statement covered a lot of terterritory, didnt it . I think the word disrespect was used in there. I think this is unique in that roger coming out so soon with a statement you wonder what will happen on nfl sunday. Will we see more players joining in. This might have inspired something else. This may have opened the gate a bit. It will be interesting to see tomorrow and im sure. Richard sherman has tweeted this morning. I think as an africanamerican man the First Response i had to Donald Trumps statement is let every athlete of color take a day off from the nfl on sunday and see what happens. Its their First Amendment right. If there are others from other communities that are supportive of this to show a sign of support, i am all for that. Truth of the matter is that i do think and i agree with coy. I think this will inspire a number of the athletes to do the same thing and steph curry is right. This is a question of about what youre willing to tolerate and what is acceptable to you as an american. It will not be player that does not show up to play. I think your microphone has dropped. Its hard to hear you. Try it again. We are having some audio problems. Well try to fix that because this conversation really is just getting started. All right. Thanks for now.

With an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain Health Supplement in drug stores nationwide. Prevagen. The name to remember. Welcome back. Tonight on declassify, dea agents hunt down the worlds biggest heroin trafficker during the taliban uprising this afghanistan. Afghanistan had 70 of the land dedicated to poppy production in the world. It also produced over 90 of the worlds heroin. Most of the heroin in the world was coming out of afghanistan. It was also supporting the taliban. After war in 2001, the taliban wanted to return to power and recreate the Islamic Emirate of afghanistan. They wanted to institute shria law again which is fundamental islam and kick the americans out. The taliban would infiltrate local communities and threaten everybody and say its our way or were going to kill your family. Theres a relationship between the taliban and the drug traffickers. The taliban is making it more difficult for police to target the trackers. In return the drug traffickers are financially supporting the taliban and logistically supporting the taliban. All right. With us now is former so supervisory agent. You participated in the largest drug seizier on record and led to the conviction of a well known heroin trafficker. What do you believe was the lynch pin on helping to gain the advantage. Even the police were kind of corrupt or had been bought by the drug traffickers. Thats true. Drug trachker was very difficult to bring to justice anywhere in the world but especially in a place like on a tenuous grasp on the rule of law. At 2006 and 2007 he was responsible for 19. 7 of the worlds heroin. Its a staggering amounts of money that were involved. A kilo of heroin was going for a little over 2100. To put this into context in the United States a kilo of heroin was going for about 70,000. The amount of money come sboog this country if the heroin from the organization was 10 to 12 which is standard, it was 860 plus Million Dollars in one year. Just unbelievable amounts of money. Police and politicians and really anyone associated with the judicial system in afghanistan was vulnerable to his money and his threats. Its all extraordinary. Really eye opening and clearly in large part as we saw in the small little snippet there. It helped fuel terrorism and vice versa. I wish we had so much more time. Were going to be watching tonight.
