At leasts believe the country does have missiles that could reach the united states, and theres another sign that north korea is not backing down. us is military officials say theyve detected what they call highly unusual and unprecedented levels of submarine activity from the north koreans, including signs of a test launch from a submarine as north korea tries to develop sea launch capabilities in addition to their icbm program. now, ambassador nikki haley called the sanctions package the singl...

The senate and the house. republicans and democrats. we worked out the legislation that we passed yesterday into the senate. the senate has had input there. and the reason north korea is in that bill is because north korea, we found out yesterday, has fast-forwarded their icbm program and are now rather than years away, are a very short time away from being able to launch and hit the united states. >> so you added north korea. >> yes. >> is this going to go to conference or does the senate now n...

Out how to get out of this mess with north korea rapidly progressing its icbm program. youve had hand wringing from president trump, but in pyongyang, a different viewpoint. massive celebration, thousands of people, fireworks, and senior leaders of both the party and the military all celebrating latest scientific revolution of their latest icbm. more rhetoric against the united states saying they will reduce america to ashes in any conflict. the propaganda, the bombastic talk from north korea is...

Is ready for deployment and mass production. cnns will ripley monitoring developments from tokyo this morning. he joins us live. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, christine. yeah, this mass production statement from north korea especially troubling when you think about the fact this is a state enterprise. they own the factories. all of the employees will work around the clock if their supreme leader tells them to do so, so dont underestimate north koreas ability to create this kind ...

Leader are all jointly working on. my legislation would allow us to move forward with sanctions on their nuclear program. of course the administration is sanctioning some of their terrorist activities, some of their abuse on human rights in the prisons, the torturing going on. this would not conflict with the agreement itself. it would allow us additional diplomatic and financial leverage we need against iran to make certain they do not go forward and build out this icbm program. im just specula...

Missiles and the icbm program that iran is undertaking right now. because they are giving these orders and shouting death to america, death to israel there is this very real interest right now in looking at targeted sanctions specifically against their icbm program, their ballistic missile program. i think thats where youll see the energy. >> despite the tough talk today the state department, trump administration did certify to congress as they have to do every 90 days that iran is in compliance...

We know that the arms ban is going to go away within i believe its five years. we know the restraint on their development of their icbm program goes away again within a certain number of years. what we dont know about are the side agreements between the international atomic energy agency and iran about inspections and other issues involving their existing infrastructure for the nuclear program. for example, one member of congress said that his understanding is that it allows the iranians to take...

For the regime. we found that by doing that, we cut off the ability of north korea to move forward on their -- on paying the generals, on their weapons program, on obtaining some of the things they needed for their icbm program. so i think that would be the type of approach we should use now that theyve done their third nuclear test, their miniaturizing their bomb, and they have a three-stage icbm that can get the united states. so given the comments about their intent, i think its time that at ...

Korea, that they said that they could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at any time and from any location. it really just depends on the north korean leader kim jong un to give the green light. so an increase in rhetoric once again. we heard kim jong un on new years day, saying that he was close to launching, test launching an icbm, which could hit mainland united states in theory, and one day later we heard from president-elect donald trump saying its not going to happen. so this is ...
