North korea fires what appears to be a small rocket at south korea and the south fires back. This is all taking place known as the demilitaryized joan. It comes days after north korea threatened to attack america if we didnt stop military drills with south korea. Right now the north seems focused on this. South korean loud speakers blairing prblair i propaganda across the border. Reporter the south korea military is on high alert tonight. The president chaired a meeting of the National Security council. She told the military to sternly take action against north korean provocation. Now the latest Defense Ministry update tells us there were actually two rounds of shells coming from north korea. And south korea responded with shelling of its own. This all seems to be in retaliation for the resumption of psychological warfare. That is the use of those propaganda speakers along the border. Last week south korea called a press conference blaming north korea for laying la ining land its side of the dmz. Those land mined exploded and badly injured two south korean soldiers. In retaliation south korea resumed psychological warfare. That is something it hasnt done in more than ten years. That makes north korea very angry. That is because kim jong un keeps tight control. Having messages blared across the border they say if they do not stop broadcasting by 5 00 p. M. On saturday local time it will take military action.

It happened before dawn and could be heard for miles. Nick paton walsh is covering this for us. Hi, nick. Reporter imagine the force of a blast in the dead of night, 2 00 in morning that leaves an enormous crater and blows out windows, waking up people across the capital of egypt. Isis claimed responsibility for this attack against the National Security building there. They say its in revenge for the death of six militants linked to a raid early on back in may. Now people think when you hear that statement from isis that perhaps its linked to their command and control in syria and iran. Thats unlikely. Its more likely its locally based egyptians in the province of sinai. Theyve been at war with the security structures for quite some time, most intensely in the past months and they have pledged allegiance to isis. The security services, troublingly saying actually this attack occurred when they drove a car up, perhaps using the dead of night. Got out and quickly got on the back of a motorbike that had been following that car. Clear planning here and above all a blow to president of egypt. Many are seeing the increased radicalization of attacks like this in what should be very safe parts of the capitol. Thank you. In china where the government frequently down plays Health Concerns a startling announcement. Poisonous sodium cyanide is at mind boggling levels at the site of the explosion. Those levels are sky high, more than 350 times the safe limits. The blast at a chemical storage plant killing at least 114 people and damaging or destroying 17,000 homes. A Top Health Official with the United Nations issued scathing criticism of chinas government saying it withheld information that may have prevented the blast. And the tight lipped handling of the aftermath has only increased the number of victims. Tensions high on the streets of st. Louis this morning. Protesters were furious following the shooting death of an 18yearold man by police. Police forced to use tear gas as the crowd hurled rocks and bottles at officers. The unrest started after police shot and killed 18yearold while executing a search warrant. Officials say he pointed a gun at them, forcing the officers to open fire. Ryan young is outside of Police Headquarters this morning. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, carol. How much can this Community Take . Of course, thats the question.

Good morning. Reporter good morning, carol. This could be a very extraordinary thing. We havent heard from a president quite like this perhaps ever. Former president clinton, when he had his heart operation, he had heart surgery quite quickly. So he didnt have a chance to talk to people like president carter is going to now. All we know for certain, carol, is that back on august 3rd he had an operation to remove a small mass on his liver. At that time the operation went well, the prognosis was good. But last week he released a statement and said that recent liver operation revealed i now have cancer which is now in other parts of my body. Im going to rearrange any schedule as necessary.

The latest example, trumps firstever town hall in New Hampshire last night where he took aim at jeb bush. But jeb bush got in some jabs of his own in a similar event in a nearby down. Sarah murray joins us with more. Reporter part of the reason last night was such a firing event in addition to being just 15 miles apart, is because jeb bush is stake e tataking on a ny and being much more aggressive in his attacks against donald trump. Step aside Manny Pacquiao and floyd mayweather, donald trump and jeb bush are taking over the ring. In a night of dueling town halls in New Hampshire, just 15 miles apart and within an hour of each other, both republican president ial candidates threw jabs. I dont see how hes electable. Jeb bush is a low energy person. For him to get things done is hard. Hes very low energy. Mr. Trump doesnt have a proven conservative record. He was a democrat longer in the last decade than he was a republican. Though bush sat the date first, his crowd got walloped by trumps 1200. Some even spilling into an overflow room to see the candidate in his First Official town hall. You know whats happening to jebs crowd, as you know, right down the street . Theyre sleeping. He was supposed to do well in New Hampshire. Hes gone down like a rock. Reporter it seems wednesday was the night bush came out of his shell. Hundreds of billions of dollars of cost to implement his plans is not a conservative plan. Reporter a blow the gop front runner blocked, telling reporters the only thing constant is trump. Im not going anywhere, folks. Im not doing this for my health. Im doing this to make America Great again. Reporter floridas former governor doesnt think thats enough to win the fight. People are going to want someone sitting behind the big december that can they know their compass points north, that they have the integrity to act on what they say theyll do and they have the leadership skills to make it so. Thats it. Reporter now, jeb bush and donald trump going their separate ways today. Jeb bush is continuing to barn storm through New Hampshire with two other stops here today. Meanwhile donald trump is looking ahead to friday where hes holding a pep rally in alabama. The campaign tells me they already have 35,000 rsvps for that event. So theyve upgraded the venue. Now its at a football stadium. Sarah stay with us because after his town hall trump sat down with chris cuomo. I think its devastating for the election. But her bigger problem is not the election, i think her bigger problem is going to be the criminal problem. You really think this could turn out to be a criminal situation for Hillary Clinton . I dont think im the only one. The fbi is involved. They only do criminal. Maybe its somebody on her staff. Look, its either criminal or incompetent. Neither is acceptable to be president. All right. Sarah murray is back with me. I want to bring in jason johnson. Sarah, i want to ask you the first question. According to quinnipiac, they did a swing state poll, clinton does poorly in ohio, florida and pennsylvania in favorability rates. Clinton has dismissed trump as entertainment. But should she push back hard on trump at this moment . Reporter the interesting thing that i heard from voters, its not that they want clinton to push back against trump. Its that they want a better answer on this email question. I was talking to one voter who is split between Hillary Clinton and donald trump if you can believe it. I asked her what her reservations were about Hillary Clinton. She didnt like that shes not dealing with the question head on and explaining why she got all these emails sent to her personal account. And i think thats the bigger challenge for Hillary Clinton now is coming up with a better explanation for this email controversy. He continues to be on this incredible roll. Hes on the cover of Time Magazine this week. Hes pictured with an American Eagle. A few unimportant tidbits to share with you about the spread. The eagle is 27 years old and is named uncle sam. As for trump, the Time Magazine photographer said hes very difficult to photograph. If you ask trump to look up a bit, he says no or he just doesnt do it. He literally has one angle. If i ask him to smile, he puts on a big grin and goes back to his zoolander blue steel look. Really hes far from a natural, because it seems that his every move is really orchestrated. Its orchestrated and clearly hes a tv guy. This dueling banjos thing he had in New Hampshire, isnt that brilliant counter programming. Like he knew bush was going to be there, so thats why he showed up. Donald trump knows how to be good on television, donald trump knows how to engage a crowd, he knows how to get attention. The question remains, are any of his plans practical, can they be done . Sarah, does he have to talk about issues . Can he just continue to run on what hes running on right now, tough alpha male talk. Reporter i do think voters do want to see a little bit of substance. Donald trump would disagree. He says only the press cares about policies, not voters. I think thats not true for voters in iowa. They like to vet the policies. His Campaign Says theyre prepared to do that, that in the coming weeks theyll be rolling out more policy proposals. So jason, republicans seem worried still about donald trump even though hes not laying out much policy. Should democrats be worried about him too . I dont think any democrats should be worried. Really were talking about Hillary Clinton. Hillary clintons got her own problems, not just with her email. Even her ability to galvanize crowds. Hillary clinton needs to work on establishing herself more than attacking trump. They havent even secured their own positions yet. So i dont think any democrats should be worried about him, at least not in august. Maybe Hillary Clinton should pose with a giant American Eagle named uncle sam. Might help. Sarah murray, jason johnson, many thanks to both of you. Still to come in the newsroom more testimony from the teenage girl who says this Prep School Senior rapes her. What she told juries as she broke down sobbing on the stand, next. Are you moving forward fast enough . Everywhere you look, it strategy is now business strategy. And a partnership with hp can help you accelerate down a path created by people, technology and ideas. To move your company from what it is now. To what it needs to become. I found her wandering miles from home. When the phone rang at 5am, i knew it was about mom. I see how hard its been on her at work and i want to help. For the 5 million americans living with alzheimers, and millions more who feel its effects. Lets walk together to make an even bigger impact and end alzheimers for good. Find your walk near you at alz. Org walk. This morning a convicted killer who escaped from prison and was on the run for weeks will go before a judge. Cnn was there as david sweat was led into the courtroom for his first an appearance, shackled and surrounded by officers. His arm is still bandaged and in a sling. A prison worker has already pleaded guilty to helping both men escape. We turn now to the prep School Student on trial for rape. Owen labrie listening as his accuser took the stand. Crying as she detailed a tradition which led to rape. She went to a room with labrie and they began kissing. What happened next she says was unwanted. Supposedly labrie unlocked the door to this darkened closet, pushed her inside. And thats when he began touching her below her waist. In her own words, i said, no, no, no, keep it up here. I wanted not to cause a conflict. I felt like i was frozen. She kept it all a secret at first. She says labrie was one of the most popular boys on campus. She says, quote, i didnt want to come off as an inexperienced little girl, i didnt want him to laugh at me, i didnt want to offend him. The New York Times reporting that labrie himself is expected to take the stand and testify as to what happened that night. You know, her testimony, it was just difficult to listen to. It was difficult to read about. There are mostly men who make up the jury in this case. How do you suppose her testimony affected them . How did they take it . Making broad assumptions about particular jurors based on stereotypes is really a form of astrology. Its best to take each juror as an individual. Older females maybe dont view rape cases as seriously as younger females on a jury. Ultimately all those studies are mere bunk. It all comes down to what that individual male juror feels about this particular case and whether or not he or she has a connection with the deft or has a connection with the alleged victim. I think thats what it comes down to more than anything in these Sexual Assault type cases. Well, it might be difficult to defend this young girl, you know, because she said she didnt want to disrespect him. She didnt quite know how to tell him a definitive no, right . Because he was popular and she was afraid. But that would send a conflicting message to this boy, right . Well, its no secret that young victims of sexual abuse often blame themselves. And weve heard this many times before. Thats why they dont immediately report it. That presents a specia
