Just returned from north korea. In fact will any indication on why north korea is suddenly flexing this military might . This is a major achievement for them. If it is accurate theyve been working for quite sometime to try to develop a Ballistic Missile that they could launch from a submarine. It gives them much more flexibility as to where they could launch an attack from. So of course an attack like that would be much more difficult to defend against. In fact kim jongun in state media was comparing this to north koreas three successful satellite launches this is nothing new it doesnt necessarily signal more north korea ramping up its military effort this is a country thats constantly investing a considerable amount of money into its military. Even though it doesnt have a whole lot of money to go around. It doesnt have enough money to feed adequately all of the people in the country. They have the mindset that theyre under the constant threat of invasion so theyre developing Technology Like this. As you mentioned, the submarine Ballistic Missile launch seems to be most concerning which could potentially open up the norththeability to attack anywhere and thats what we fear right . What do you know about what appear to be new capabilities with north korea. I was sitting a a highlevel north korean official. He said they have Nuclear Devices and i asked if they had a Ballistic Missile, a longrange Ballistic Missile capable of striking the mainland United States. And without flinching, he said yes. So this is yet one more indication because north korea views the United States as their primary enemy. I felt it on the ground i had so many people tell me that they hate the United States. Theyre angry at the u. S. They feel that the United States alliance with south korea is a direct threat to their sovereignty. Thats the mindset in that country and so they yes, theyre developing technology that they feel could potentially strike back against some sort of an attack against the u. S. The u. S. Has not given any indication that theyre planning anything like that. But north korea feels it could be imminent. Will ripley. Thank you so much. The u. S. State department is responding and reacting to these missile tests, calling on north korea to refrain from actions that further raise tensions in the region. Cnn correspondent Sunlen Serfaty is live at the white house now. Tell us more about the reaction from the white house and the state Department Following these missile tests. Well ana, the state department is urging restraint. But i should say theyre doing it broadly without confirming directly the new missile tests by the North Koreans. Only saying theyre aware of the reports. But noting broadly if its true they would be in violation of multiple u. N. Security Council Resolutions, a state Department Official telling cnn we call on north korea to refrain from actions that further raise tensions in the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps towards fulfilling its International Commitments and obligations and the state Department Official says of course the u. S. Government will continue to monitor any activities out of north korea, especially military. Back to you. Theres little the u. S. Can do to stop north korea from conducting these tests, isnt there . There is very little that they can do and the u. S. Has had very little influence over north korea in the past. As will ripley just noted. North koreans view u. S. As their primary enemy. The u. S. Has tried to push them a bit. But that has not helped at all. Theres a long history of provocation from the North Koreans continuing even in the last few months. Sunlen serfaty, at the white house, thank you so much. Just getting some breaking news out of iraq. Reports today of a huge prison break. Happened just outside of baghdad where dozens of inmates weve learned may have escaped following a riot. Some appear to have ties to terror what could be even more troubling is that isis is claiming responsibility for this prison break. Cnns jarman is on the phone for us what can you tell snus. We have two versions of how the prison break happened and what took place. Were hearing from the Iraqi Government. The iraqi officials and isis in its claim of responsibility. According to interior ministry they say that prisoners inside this prison in the town of hala northeast of baghdad, they gained control of a weapon. From a guard and started clashes inside this prison. Five guards were killed. 30 inmates they say werehood killed in the clashes. A total of 40 inmates managed to escape. Nine were in prison or terrorism charges. Were also hearing from isis. Releasing a claim online that were seeing they describe a Different Event that took place in this prison. It sounds like a complex coordinated attack they say. That began with the detonation of about 15 improvised explosive devices outside the prison and they say there was a level of coordination for what they describe as the zero hour for this prison break between inmates inside the prison and militants outside. They say that there are inmates inside the prison were able to gain control of the Weapons Storage Facility and managed to break out about more than 30 inmates who they describe as the knights of the caliphate. Now ana, to put it into context we have seen several prison breaks in iraq over the past couple of years this is not as large scale as the previous ones weve seen including abu ghraib in 2013 where militants were broken out. Hundreds and also last year as we saw isis sweeping through more than iraq. There have been several prison breaks and this is a town ana, in northeast of baghdad in the province of diala. A province that the Iraqi Government iraqi officials earlier this year include liberated from isis underscores that this group is still capable and able to carry out such complex attacks. Thank you so much. I want to talk more about this with johnnathan gilliam. A former navy s. E. A. L. How important is it to you that this priv break happened . The whole string of prison breaks is very troubling. Its another way that isis is showing that they have control wherever they want to have control over there. And their fighting techniques are such that they go into a fighting and theyre either waiting and learning about the area so they can go in and take it over or they have the ability to muster up brute force and the iraqis are unable to repel that i think again, this is another example of a lack of an overall war plan by this entire coalition. Led by the United States where we dont have adequate forces in a region that is quickly crumbling to isis. But isnt it easy for isis to take responsibility for Something Like this without really having done any kind of coordination . I mean were hearing reports that it was some prisoners who were able to gain control of a weapon from one of the guards. And one thing led to another and their ability to get out and trying to tie into other explosions that happened near baghdad with the prison break. Is it for them some morale boost that they say sure we took responsibility. We are responsible for that . You know it very well could be. I think sheaftheyve shown in some of the surrounding towns with the takeout of oil refinery. Theyve shown they have the ability to do this. Even if they didnt do it they theyve shown and displayed their ability in a war region to go in and actually do this and there were people in there that they probably would have liked to have had back. And so i dont know if its necessarily going to come down to the fact to weather wl they did or didnt. We know they could have and we know we have no strategic war plan. I want to pivot a little bit to this Terror Threat level that was raised yesterday at military bases and installations, and obviously when you see Something Like this happening, it all comes together because isis is the sort of connecting figure so to speak in all of this. We all know that the threat level has been raised to bravo. Which you can see in the chart is sort of the mid range, potential terrorist threat is out there without any guarantee. But we also heard from the director of the fbi talk about potential terrorist sympathizers and isis sympathizers all over the country. That theyre trying to track. So do we have a serious concern here in the u. S. . I tell you one of yes, we do have a serious concern. As we saw in garland, texas there are groups already in the United States that are ready to attack. And it didnt take them very long to muster up a plan in order to go into garland. What i have a real problem with this color coding system and the way that the military is amped up their force protection. Im a big believer in proponent force protection. Think that the military should have been at a more heightened state all the time because we are in a war time footing. But my problem is it does nothing to secure the surrounding areas. So base ups their Security Force protection awareness, but yet right outside the gate is where a lot of the military families live. Its war lot of businesses are. The towns need to really follow right in line with that. When we found in the case of garland, texas, it wasnt a military installation that was attacked. It could be anywhere. And garland texas is the perfect example, because if those two individuals had turned around and went to walmart right around the corner they could have probably killed 100 people. You can secure some type of a publicity stunt or you can secure a base. But you have to secure the area around it as well and the public has to become aware. Every time im on here on the weekends i try to mention that awareness is key in all of this. Matt definitely increased awareness in the threat level. John Jonathan Gill yam thank you very much.
