Thank you for joining Us North Korea has defiantly defended its Ballistic Missile program at the United Nations Security Council the Public Session was called off to pyongyang tested what is believed to be its most advanced intercontinental Ballistic Missile in november but the meeting which was attended by the u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson failed to come up with any new steps to curb north koreas actions mike hanna reports from the United Nations. The red scarf a reflection of the chilly weather outside and little warmth displayed in the chamber towards north korea is representative listened to condemnation from speaker off to speak with what appeared to be studied. The situation on the Korean Peninsula is the most thems and dangerous peace and security issue in the world today publicly at least the council has been united in imposing an extensive series of sanctions but the u. S. Secretary of state questions the commitment of russia and china continuing to allow north korean laborers to toil in slave like conditions inside russia in exchange for wages used to fund to clear weapons programs calls into questions russias dedication as a partner for peace. Similarly as Chinese Crude Oil flows to north korean refineries the United States questions chinas commitment to solving an issue that has serious implications for the security of its own citizens these charges rejected by china and russia which insisted that the ongoing joint military exercises by the u. S. And south korea made any dialogue all but impossible in music you should mean so is that only two months of quiet by north korea and said by washington with unprecedented military exercises and the listing on a terrifying list that leads us to question the sincerity of statements that there is a preference for a peaceful solution to the crisis with. And with all eyes on him the north korean representative the period nervous his hands shaking but also unapologetic arguing that his country has a sovereign right to protect itself against what he called us aggression our position of the nuclear phone records of individuals the third with defense even meijers up with the prince. And the right of resistance and development from the us the meeting ended with agreement on the desirability of dialogue but division as to how to achieve it the u. S. Adamant that there has to be a unilateral freeze on Nuclear Testing by north korea before any talks can be possible mike hanna aljazeera United Nations. Joining us now is Mark Fitzpatrick who is director of the Nonproliferation Program at the International Institute for strategic studies he is live from one that north korea needs to do something first the something is not entirely clear but he spoke about a period of nonprovocative behavior how much you think this undermines because its a bit embarrassing isnt it for x. To listen how much is this undermine the u. S. Position because of the north korea. Well i think it shows that its not clear what the u. S. Position is when different very different positions have come out of washington of course the white house does poll that call the shots and and their position has been rather consistent. Dialogue. Comes with a price you have to pay a price to come in and thats not the way most nations in the world see it Mark Fitzpatrick as you wrote yourself diplomacy doesnt seem to be working in reining in north Koreas Nuclear ambitions the sanctions havent worked either what options are left you know nothing is worked all kinds of diplomacy various patterns of talks sanctions of every sort but there are many sanctions left to be applied there is much pressure United States is talking about cutting north korea completely off from the International Financial system completely cutting off its trade with all countries thats not going to be possible because some countries will still engage in trade theres more military pressure i think in the works not attacks on north korea i hope but that could happen if north korea were to do Something Like an atomic weapon. And of course engagement is always a possibility but. Its not clear that either side wants in gauge went north korea hasnt been too eager to talk without preconditions and now the white house is showing that it isnt either you say more sanctions could be applied we saw a wreck citizen point the finger at russia and china at the u. N. Today calling on russia and china to cut their economic pipeline to north korea he wants to isolate north korea both diplomatically and economically but by by getting more countries to fully implement these sanctions but the russians and the chinese dont seem to be on board what is it going to take you think for them to fully implement to force north korea on the sanctions. I think the United States is playing a pressure game talking very tough. Talking about a potential preventive strike on north korean facilities maybe a small strike and by taught that im not going to do that im going to go out scare thats not going to go well with the chinese if it well i i dont think so but but it is a possible i mean this is the theory that if you if china should be more worried about war on its border maybe it would take further steps to restrict oil and the. Other money flowing to north korea i mean it is a possibility but i think youre right i dont think china is going to go along with it and it has russia on its side so. Theres not a lot of daylight here markets patrick very good to talk to thank you for sharing your views with us Mike Fitzpatrick is with the International Institute for strategic studies he was joining us there from washington thank you youre welcome.
