Missile that would be capable, capable of striking the united states. that intelligence estimate is very central to what has begun this whole cycle. because president trump correctly feels that north korea could threaten the u.s. they havent tested since november. the calculation right now behind the scenes is since they have not tested since november, where does that really leave their test program? this announcement perhaps is not a huge surprise. there was always worry that the north would si...

Few days, could it be a missile test, could it be a satellite launch? its beginning to look like the preparations and the moving around of the equipment means a potential missile test still remains to be seen if the regime carries through and goes ahead and conducts a test. they dont see it as eminent but it could happen after the new year. that makes the timing sensitive as we are heading to south korea hosting the winter olympics. rex tillerson is traveling to canada to meet with the allies af...

Intercontinental. its a technical point but its going to be perhaps one of the most crucial points as they analyze what has happened here, whether its an intermediate range or, in fact, a third test of an intercontinental ballistic missile range, which could eventually strike the united states. it will give us an indication of just how far kim is willing to go in his test program and just how far he is willing to poke at donald trump. >> everybody, stand by. weve got a lot more on the breaking n...

Koreas may still have to accomplish. but make no mistake. no one is entirely sure the north koreans are too fussed about worries about any of that. they have a rigorous, aggressive test program for their weapons. the question now, perhaps, is kim jong-uns motivation in the coming weeks and months. is he on the path that he claims hes on to try and attack the west? is he looking basically to have all of this as a card to hold over the head of the west and get some sanctions relief? get some type ...

Pre-emptive strike? >> reporter: they always have options full ai cross the board. 234e have an option for everything. back to what you said a minute ago. updating. thats the key here. they are updating the options now, because north korea is making progress in its ability to build a weapon, a missile and a nuclear warhead that could some day attack the united states, and they are beginning to better be able to essentially deceive the u.s. about their intentions. hiding their test program. hidin...

Have been reporting on, intervention by the united states to try to cripple the program by getting inside their codes, getting inside their systems. but its also possible this is just a real hard system to develop. everyone who has tried to develop submarine ballistic missiles have multiple failures in the program. whats the significance of this? its a solid fuel missile. if they can perfect it on the submari submarine, that helps them with a solid fuel icbm that you have been talking about. why...

Intercontinental ballistic missiles that if that is really and they really have the missiles and they really work could theoretically hit the united states. so everyone in the region and the u.s. is taking this test program very, very sleersly. every test is very much monitors in real time by u.s. military intelligence and they look at it almost instantaneously with the radars, the ships and the anti-missile defense they have in the region to determine, is it a threat and do we have to shoot it ...

Military as they look at the satellite data that they collect as they try and determine exactly what kind of missile the north koreans tried and failed to fire. ana? >> so were understanding correctly, is this expected to have been a test launch or something more serious? >> reporter: well, at the moment, i a24ithink it is fair o say that this is -- its technically a test program by the north koreans to test their missiles by firing them. they dont necessarily have war heads on them that we know...

Of the year except the president has been impeached and now convicted. there might be criminal charges filed against her soon so its a critical time internally in korea. if there is a new party that comes into power, say the left of center korean party, it could be more difficult relations with japan and frankly more difficult relations with us because were getting to a no kidding moment with the north koreans who have shown zero interest in negotiation, zero interest in getting rid of their nuc...
