Kingdom. >> celebrations marking the anniversary of the birthdate of a founder of this country ended with a dead this week. and they missile that they tried to launch early sunday morning north korean time blew off that left off. a couple hours prior to that we watch as missiles went by and clearly a medium-range solid fuel missile which could have been the type that was at the launch site on the east coast of the country today. if successful it could have her in japan as well as us service memb...

Be that version. in fact, theres no clear consensus yet on what kind of missile theyve used, but they have a version theyve used in submarine launches. clearly solid fuel would be a break through for north korea theyve been working on in the last year. its important to understand in 2016 they had 25 missile launches in that year alone. theyre working on this new generation of missiles, but i think todays firing of a missile was more in a sort of context of this ceremony and i think its a huge em...

Saying they didnt want to the north koreans to do this and kim jong-un has gone ahead and done this anyway. hes helped nudge the chinese closer to us in this process, but i think were going to have some really serious talks with the chinese about where with he go because this is a situation that just cant be left alone. >> ambassador you made a note that you believe this to be solid fuel rocket booster, solid fuel delivery device here, which is a new piece of information for us in terms of what ...

Bit the rationale behind these kinds of demonstrations of military force in north korea. >> reporter: well, these are designed to not only rally the troops but to rally the public as a whole. north koreans, when they see these images of strength on television, when they see their nations tanks and artillery and, you know, extremely disciplined, goose-stepping soldiers, when they see people in uniform from various conflicts all the way dating back to the korean more, to the most modern special fo...

Intercontinental ballistic missile. s. >> north koreans have been holding parades for a long time . it is put in a little bit of context. the casings that you see them on parade. >> you think theyre mock up. >> well, there is a debate of whats real and whats a mock up. usually they are mock ups. to the extent to which they reflect substantial capabilities. yes, there are two sets of casings of new dwoms. the first appears to be the rep presentation of the marine. and demonstrating of whats calle...

Himself in a central role in this very dangerous country, a foe not to be underestimated. eric. mark: gregal -- eric, gregal rot, thank you. greg talcott, thank you. arthel: doug mckelway is in washington, what do we know about this new missile displayed at todays parade? >> reporter: there were a couple of erroneous reports today that the missile had been launched. that turned out not to be true, but it highlights the risks of misinformation in this hair-trigger atmosphere. it is the new subham...

Still in the early stages of development on that particular technology. now the other big concern among analysts is solid fuel. solid fuel for missiles would allow north korea to fire quickly without loading liqui fuel first. that fueling allows satelliteo capture exactly what north korea is doing. sort ofs giv gives analysts a h up. it would give them quicker launch abilities and launch without anyone getting a heads up yet. it appears from the hardware in todays parade, they are working on tha...

Submarine launched ballistic missiles. they already have solid fuel, road mobile launchers. north korea is actually a desperately poor country with a primitive armed forces which by the way active and reserve is 25% of the entire population. maybe 25% of gnp on defense. but now they have got 15 nukes. id be less concerned about this weekend and the thought that an irrational preemptive strike would take place on north korean nuclear facilities. im sure we are not going do that. but i am concerne...

Thats unclear. most analysts agree that they are in the somewhat early stages, but theyre making progress. then there was another interesting thing of note today, including solid fuel. suggestions that perhaps they were showing off this technology which would allow north korea to fire missiles quickly without loading liquid fuel first. thats usually an indicator via satellite that theyre about to make a launch that allows those watching north korea to get an early heads up before north korea tes...

With the upcoming summit tweet presidents trump and xi scheduled for later this week. this was an intermediate-range ballistic missile. second one launch this year. it differs from last year because of the way these missiles are being launched. theres progress being made because these missiles use solid fuel. that allows them to launch from the back of a truck. that makes them mobile and easier to be hidden and it makes them harder to track because they can be launched with much shorter notice. ...
