Capabilities and claim to have test add Hydrogen Bomb and this morning reports the regime is preparing for yet another icbm launch. To the members of the Security Council, i must say enough is enough. Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim jongun shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. Cnn International Correspondent Paula Hancocks is live in seoul, south korea. Paula, just heard from the u. N. Ambassador for the u. S. , nikki haley. South koreas president spoke on the phone with President Trump a short while ago. What do we know from where you are and what do we know in terms of what came out of that phone call . Reporter well, jim, we have a readout from the south korean side saying first of all both president s agreed this was a serious violation of resolutions, of the u. S. , of International Community, and also saying that they wanted a strong and a strong strong and realistic response that can be felt by north korea. This is specified, the u. S. Security council. They want a resolution, they both decided, that will pinch. Similar to what we heard from Ambassador Haley there. We are seeing a stronger message now from president moon jaein following that fairly insulting tweet by the u. S. President talking about south korea appeasement of north korea. Certainly seeing strong words from the south korean side both saying as well they want pressure and sanctions to try and bring north korea back to the negotiating table. At least thats what the south korean side is saying. We dont know whether or not mr. Trump is agreeing to the negotiating table at all, and also saying the deployment of thaad, the Missile Defense system, controversial in this neck of the wood. South korea agreed to fully bring it in to the country and deploy it as soon as possible. They say on a temporary basis, but certainly feeling the pressurer there from the u. S. And, of course, from this recent north Korea Nuclear test. Jim . Paula hancocks live in seoul, south korea. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. The United States made it clear all military options are on the table with north korea. We heard this response today from north korea state media. Put this on screen. Provoke as you wish with nuclear strategic weapons. We will eradicate the land of u. S. With no trace left on earth. Our athena jones is at the white house. Athen athena, more tough talk out of north korea and today the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , nikki haley, heard a few moments ago, enough is enough. What does the white house want from the United Nations and what is the u. S. Prepared to do at this point about these threats that continue . Reporter hi, jim. Right. The u. N. Ambassador nikki haley said enough is enough. Weve taken an incremental approach. Despite the best of intentions it hasnt worked. The white house would like to be see the United Nations Security Council approve quickly the strongest possible sanctions. That is seen as the only way to resolve this diplomatically, but, jim, as you know, sanctions have not worked over the past couple of decades, and neither has diplomacy work to halt north koreas progress. It was just a month ago the u. N. Security Council Approved the toughest sanctions so far against north korea in response to the Ballistic Missile testing they were doing earlier in the summer. That also didnt impact kim jonguns calculation when it came to this latest nuclear test. So that is the challenge that the u. S. And the International Community continue to face. The tough talk, the sanctions, the diplomacy havent had any impact. When it comes to what options the u. S. Is looking at apart from military options we heard the president and treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin talk about this idea of cutting off all trade with any country that does business with north korea. The problem there is that china, of course, is north koreas main ally and trading partner, accounting for about 90 of their frayed. China is also one of the u. S. biggest trading partners nap would have huge economic and political ramifications. Critics call that an empty threat. Amean tha jones, hard to imagine cutting off trade with china. Thank you very much. Following a major story. Sources telling cnn President Trump is expected to end daca an Obama Era Program protecting undocumented immigrants who came to the u. S. As children from deportation. The fate of near been 800,000 young immigrants known as dreamers hangs in the balance. We heard from President Trump a short while ago in the form of a tweet. He was issuing this labor day message, but note the language here. He says we are building our future with american hands, american labor, american iron, aluminum and steel. Happy labor day. Cnn White House Reporter Kaitlan Collins joins me now from inside the briefing room, and kaitlan, unmistakable what the president s message was in that tweet. What more do we know about the president s plan . Expecting to hear this come down tomorrow. Right . Reporter right. And sources tell us the president is likely to end this program, but what were also told is that theyre likely going to create a sixmonth delay before ending the program. Now that time period would give Congress Time to come up with legislation that would allow those undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States. But these officials have cautioned that nothing is set in stone until the president himself announces it tomorrow. As you know, jim, this is a white house that often makes lastminute decisions on policy. They are stressing nothing is official yet, but this is definitely something the president has wavered on and will please his base. Brought up multiple times during the campaign. Thought it was illegal and would termanenate it immediately. Once he got into office, had heart for dreamers. More questions tomorrow if they decide end the program over how to implement it and how it affects the people currently benefiting from daca, jim. The president said late last week he loves the dreamers. Well find out the president s decision sounds like tomorrow. Kaitlan collins, thank you very much. Some reaction from capitol hill on the president s expected daca decision. California democratic senator harris saying, ending daca, nothing short of heartless. Its on us to demand a vote on the dream act. We must stand with our dreamers and the oklahoma senator lankford put out a statement criticizing the president. Right to be consequences for those who intentionally entered this country illegally, however we as americans do not hold children legally accountable for actions of their parents. Let me welcome in now colorado Republican Congressman mike coffman, who is currently prepares his own legislative maneuver to protect these young immigrants in his state. Congressman, the president said late last week he loves the dreamers, that he wants to treat this issue with heart. But ending daca with a sixmonth delay. Does that sound like heart to you . Well, i think the president s backed into a corner by the attorney general from texas who is threatening by tomorrow, if the president doesnt suspend the program, to go to Federal District court. The same attorney general able to strike down the dapa program as unconstitutional. I think that the president s in a bad position. I hope the president says tomorrow is that he supports the policy of the daca program and wants congress to pass it into law and wants it on his desk and hell sign it. And what do you make of this sixmonth delay . Do you believe that congress can take care of this within the next six months . The president called for congress to repeal obamacare. He has failed on a number of legislative items. Can he get a daca fix through the congress . Oh, i think so. And what im filing tomorrow is calmed the discharge petition on the bridge act and the bridge act extends the daca program for three years giving time for congress to find a permanent solution. So if Republican Leadership doesnt bring a bill to the floor, if i can get 218 signatures of supporters of daca on the bridge act, then we can force a vote on it right away. But it has to get through the senate . I believe it will get through the senate. Thats the trick. I really think i think when people would rather not confront the issue. The president would rather not confront the issue. Hes forced to confront it, again, by the attorney general of texas. I just think that theres support from the congress and cant imagine the president wouldnt sign it if it gets to his desk. Okay. Lets move to the threat from north korea. Youre on the House Armed Services committee, after meeting with the president yesterday, defense secretary james mattis promised what he call add massive military response if north korea threatens the u. S. Or its allies. What do you know about these massive military options the u. S. Has at its disposal . Seems to be a further escalation of this rhetoric thats taken that parts of the world and the u. S. To the brink of what could be a nightmare for everybody . Well, what i would hope would occur is given our Missile Defense capabilities, that we would signal to north korea that we will take out any missile launch, whether theres harmful intent or not. Even if a test launch. Weve got that capability to take that missile out in midcourse, and were going to do so. So i think that that would be appropriate, but it is you think thats the next step for the u. S. To try to deter this behavior, just go ahead and knock down one of the missiles during one of their tests . I think that would be an appropriate response. And do you think that would escalate things further, though . Would it trigger the North Koreans to try to do something bigger and bolder . Well, i think that we are in sort of the end of the rope, so to speak right now, in the sense that we tried all kinds of strategies to contain their program, and they are really at the final steps of of having a Nuclear Capable icbm that can hit the United States. So not only a threat to the region but a direct threat to the United States and so this is an unstable regime with a with a leader that i think is unstable in and of himself. And to press you on that a little congressman. Would that be that would be interpreted though as an act of war. Would it not by the north koreas . If we were to knock down one of their missiles . Sending a missile over japan is an act of war. Sending a missile threatening to send a missile by guam, by the territory of the United States if they do so is an act of war. I think, though, we have other things we can do. I think there are a lot more leverages we have with china, we havent employed yet, and although there could be an Economic Cost to the United States, in doing so it would be a much greater Economic Cost to china. Chinas the life line to north korea, and if china, really holds the cards in this particular equation. And when you hear the president talking about, hear the white house talking about threatening trade with south korea and threatening trade with china, what do you make of that . Is this do you really want to start a trade war with china to stop an actual war with north korea . Absolutely. You do . We have a tremendous a tremendous trade deficit with china. So i dont see it as a trade war, per se. Certainly it might come down to that. My hope the mere threat of it. I mean, obviously, any let that to be backed by, you know, the credibility that it could be used. I hope would cause china to put more pressure on north korea to stop their Nuclear Program. We dont want a war, but we want this Nuclear Program stopped. I believe it is only china short of twhar cwar that can do that. Thank you very much. Well check back as these important issues develop. Thank you. And President Trumps plan to stop the daca program putting him square in the middle of his home party and base. How does that play out whcongre returns tomorrow. And irma is picking up strength heading potentially towards the east coast. Curious track now for Hurricane Irma in its uncertain path ahead. Well take a look when we come back.

Sources tell cnn President Trump is expected to end daca, the program that protected near been 800 shoush,000 undocumente. Coming up with legislation to replace it, not done. Conflicting signals have been sent in the past. Take a listen. With their parents, it depends. But, look it sounds cold and it sounds hard. We have a country. Our countrys going to hell. I want the children that are growing up in the United States to be dreamers also. Theyre not dreaming right now. We will immediately terminate president obamas two illegal executive amnesties. If they plan on serving, if they get in, i would absolutely hold those people now, we have to be very careful. Shouldnt be very worried. I do have a big heart. Were going to take care of everybody. Some absolutely incredible kids. I would say most of them. They were brought here in such a way its a very, very tough subject. We are going to deal with daca with heart. We love the dreamers. We love everybody. All right. Joining me now, cnn political commentator and democratic strategist maria can dona and former rnc Communications Director doug hyde. What is behind the president s decision . You hear people say hes appealing to the base, keep the base happy. The breitbart people, the Steve Bannons of the world and so on. Whats your sense . Or is this saying to the country, no. I was elected. These are the things i want to do on this immigration issue and im going to do them . The short answer is yes to all of that. There are ten Different Directions this goes into. One is appeasing the base certainly. Very happy about this. The other, i dont think i dont support the move. I dont think that trump has gotten credit for, theres shrewd thinking here. If youre donald trump and trying to triangulate yourself with the Republican Congress you are putting this with a sixmonth waiting period in congress lap. If they cant do anything, i worked in house Republican Leadership. We couldnt do anything. Setting the up that triangulation that trump spoils the and politically for him, might be good for him moving forward. There are kids, people think of this term, the dreamers. They may not fully absorb what this is. These are kids brought to this country no fault of their own by their parents. Undocumented. The vast majority of these kids went through high school and are in college playing by the rules not breaking laws, just here and just as american as anybody else. Absolutely, jim. These are summa consuun lauds. This is how we treat them . A shrewd political calculation. And to think of these kids as a political calculation is not who we are as a country. Its disgusting this is what weve come to but its what weve come to under this president. The white house saying, we dont know. Last minute things to change. The president 0 could decide something different. Which he could, he could, but from a president who started this Political Campaign calling mexican immigrants rapists criminals, i dont foresee anything different. I hope he proves me wrong. I really do. Tomorrow if he ends daca, the sixmonth delay. What does that mean . Doug says this is for him to put it into the lap of congress. Lets say next Week Congress signs something and puts it on his desk. So is tomorrow, will he say, if Congress Puts something on my desk in the next six months i will sign it. What will bannon, breitbart say, Jeff Sessions say . Jo think that a realistic possibility from this white house. And doug, whats the difference between extending the daca program and kicking it over to congress in the expectation they will extend the daca program and send it back and hell sign the legislation . Why put everybody through this exercise and raise anxieties for 800,000 kids out there . Thats part of the disturbing thing about this move. Youre seeing a lot of republicans speak out against this. Some moderates, mike kaufman, ykaufman, mike coffman. A lot of republicans speaking, eric canon, my boss. Focus on the kids. Take care of them first. Sounded like a good message. Didnt resonate through the party and couldnt get any ledge solution through on immigration by and large and why congress may end up stuck again. Also, doug, you have harvey funding to deal with. The president s hope for tax reform has to get done. This is, adds another thing to that list. Go back to the sandy relief package. One of the most controversial things that we dealt with at the tile. Remember, Chris Christie attacking john boehner every day. Now were talking about linking it up to debt ceiling increase. Other mustpass bills. Interesting dynamic here thats different, you have conservatives from texas in the pass might have supported offsets. Coupling it with something saying, stay off this bill. They tend to be conservative, also the largest republican delegation in the house. Theyll have influence there. What do you think about the possibility of this just getting, you know, jammed up with all of this legislation . I mean, thats a distinct possibility i would think . Absolutely. People already are saying theres not enough time to get everything done without having daca. Now put into their laps. I think theres one thing that merits underscoring. That is, while this is treated as a political football when it shouldnt, this is actually a nobrainer. Jim, youve seen polls. When it comes to daca itself and these dreamers, a majority, the vast majority, of the American People including republicans believe that it is the right thing to do, to give these kids a chance to stay here. A majority of the American People believe they should be given a pathway to citizenship. 75 of trumps voters, trumps voters, believe these kids should be able to say hetay her. Its not something difficult. What is difficult for trump to show some political courage tomorrow. To say he is going to do finally the right thing, to be the president for everybody instead of just the president for steve bannon, for Jeff Sessions, for ann coulter, for all the right wing ultraconservative antiimmigrant people that supported him. Oftentimes its the last person in his ear. Maybe you, maria. Watching now. Maria, doug, thank you. Up next, the city of houston soon back in business after hurricane harveys devastating hit.

Cnns Stephanie Elam joins us live in houston. The city the mayor says that houston is open for business and hopes everything is on track to move forward after labor day. What do you see on the ground there, stephanie . A lot of debris behind you . Reporter yes, jim. Youre right. Most of this, driving around, seems you can get in. Still parts under evacuation in west houston and neighborhoods like this one where they are just completely gutted by the floodwaters that came through their house in the middle of the night. Imagine the waters rising so fast you have to use an air mattress to float out your grandchildren. What one couple had to do. How much water was here. Going up to five feet in their house. Now that everyones able to make it back to this neighborhood, this is what theyre dealing with. Having to pull everything out of their house, from their carpets and furniture, to the toys, to the drywall. Everything. Pulling it out hoping to get ahead of the mold setting in. This is what it looked like in this northeast houston neighborhood where they are just, there are piles of rubbish, as people are trying to figure if they can salvage homes. For many of these people here, jim, this is where they had all of their worldly possessions within these homes. Work hard to buy these homes and have nowhere else to go. Compound problems theyre having, most of the cars are lost, flooded overnight when this happened and still having to figure how to go to work. They desperately needed paychecks and need to be here working on getting their homes back in order and trying to reach out to fema and some of the families here, the process of getting in touch with fema, having them come and look extremely frustrating. They want to know where to begin the process of rebuilding their lives after this massive flooding. And patience tested, im sure. I assume block after block, that scene youre showing behind us. For miles on end. Reporter very much is. Like you could drive for blocks in either direction and see this. Actually between two bayous. That water rose up. In fact, coming in through the back of their houses in the middle of the night. Rising so fast within an hour probably over a foot in their house. So eventually going up to five feet on this side of the neighborhood. Incredible images. Thank you. Appreciate it. Just as houston begins to rebuild another storm is picking up strength.

Condemning north korea at the United Nations today following pyongyangs latest and strongest nuclear test over the weekend. Also learning that south koreas president had a phone call with prussian president Vladimir Putin earlier today. South korean Officials Say the two discussed cutting off north koreas crude oil supply as well as cutting off sources of foreign currency for the regime. Joining me from tokyo, will ripley in north korea until last week. Will, you heard what the russians and south koreans talking about. Can any of these measures really Deter North Korea . Are they showing any signs theyll back down or escalations that are going to continue . Reporter from the north korean perspective and what theyve reiterated to me all of this past year including last week, no, jim. They are not afraid of sanctions. When i even asked in pyongyang if china were to cut off that country economically, completely cut them off, they acknowledged it would be painfula growing consumer class in the north korean capital. See chinese goods and gasoline, oil comes from china. And theyve acknowledged it would be very difficult. Certainly cut into their standard of listening but point out theyve survived much worse in north korea and faced the collapse of the former soviet union. Series of natural disasters and economic mismanagement in the latest 1990s leading to the great famine during which hundreds of thousands of people died. People eating grass and tree bark and even during that time the regime stayed in control. Peop stayed loyal and they continued to develop their missile and Nuclear Programs. Now a major test, preparing to launch another intercontinental Ballistic Missile possibly in the direction of guam in the coming days, jim. Okay. Tokyo. Sounds like more of the same. Appreciate your work in and out of the country. Will ripley, thanks very much. And joining me here, a former Senior Adviser at the state department and a visiting professor at georgetown university. Democratic senator ben cardin, ranking foreign member of the Foreign Relations committee on cnn earlier today speaking about this potential path the u. S. Is on now with north korea. This tough talk escalating on both sides. Take a listen. I think the military options are somewhat limited because of the risk factors involving south korea, involving japan. One thing is clear. The president s tough talk has not appeared to change the calculation of north korea. What the president needs to do is engage china and hopefully russia to put the type of pressure on north korea that changes their calculations. And what do you think the impact has been . This tough talk weve seen escalate . The president talking about fire and fury. Even yesterday the defense secretary saying there would be this massive response if the u. S. Is threatened in any way or allies are threatened in any way in that region. What does that do to the situation, do you think . I think we have to remember that the context is very important. Theres always been fire and fury rhetoric off and on throughout the decades from all sides, and so we are in a state where we have a president who likes to make hyperbolic statements. I think thats just who the president is, but secretary mattis yesterday was very, very clear. It was not, he was not threatening military action, unless north korea stages some sort of offensive attack against the United States and its aal lie allies. Its important to understand hes talking about defense. As an option that weve always had. And had congressman mike coffman on beginning of the hour, talking a potential option, conduct yore missile test, we shoot down one of those missiles. How would that be greeted in pyongyang . What would that do to this crisis, do you think . Would it be considered ang r an acts of war by north korea . Depends. Im not sure we have the technology to shoot down a missile. Depends where it is. We have active Missile Defense systems but theres very specified ranges it can effectively destroy a missile. Sort of flying around, all depends on the actual missile. And let me ask you about some of this trade talk. You hear the president and the white house threatening trade with china. Theres even talk of threatening trade with south korea, the president ay parentally is not happy with way the south koreans are talking about this in recent weeks and may prefer a more diplomatic route in talking with the North Koreans. What is that doing, do you think, to the u. S. Position in the region . Is this president becoming more isolated . If hes threatening china and south korea and so on . In addition to north korea . Well, again, this is why context is so important. I think we have a president and an administration that was very clear from the very first day that trade was a big issue for the United States. But its looking at trade through one specific bilateral ang angle. So u. S. R. O. K. , south korea trade, there is a trade agreement nap is being viewed separately as from the north korea issue. Interestingly, President Trumps latest tweet is trying to make the connection between u. S. china bilateral trade and the north korean issue. Thats where it becomes a little messy, actually quite messy, quite frankly. How so . Well, because the United States and china are the two largest economies in the world, and currently chinese Global Trading status is crucially important. Actually so is south koreas. South korea is the 12th largest tradi trading, largest economy in the world and the seventh largest trading partner pap complex web of multilateral trading relationships mtsd. And do these sound like empty threats . Stop trade with china because he doesnt wlik hes getting from north korea . Rhetoric engaging this way . The United States probably cannot cut off all trade with china. Having said that, President Trump lites likes to tweet these hyperbolic statements. There may actually be a Silver Lining in this crude talk in the sense one thing it did certainly wake up china and put xi jinping on notice that the president is serious and might be taking action. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it. Another major story taking shape today, President Trumps plan to terminate the program that protects undocumented immigrants who came to the u. S. As children. The news sparked reviews on all sides from within his own party. Lindsey graham weighing in a few moments ago and well bring you that reaction, next. Sources tell cnn President Trump is expected to end a daca Program Designed to protect nearly 800,000 undocumented immigrants who came here at children from deportation sparking backlash from both sides of aisle from several democrats and republicans saying this is the wrong call. Senator Bernie Sanders tweeting if trump decides to end daca it will be one of the ugliest are and cruelest decisions ever made by a president in our modern history. Listen to what House Speaker paul ryan had to say recently. I kmactually dont think he should do that and i believe this is congress has to fix. Joining me now to discuss, javier, the United States Hispanic Chamber of commerce and a member of the president s Diversity Council. Javier, thanks for joining us. Let me ask you, will you stay on the president s Diversity Council if he gets rid of daca . Jim, thanks for having me, first of all. That remains to be seen. Im going to work up until the bloody end to try to convince this president to do the right thing by these 800,000 dreamers who reside in this country to the points that were made earlier today. The vast majority of them were brought here as children. On average, younger than 6 years of age when they got here. Some 65,000 dreamers graduate from high school every year. They have been vetted rigorously. None of them have committed a crime of any sort. They are not eligible for any kind of welfare or goff benefits of any sorts, these are the type of young people we need in this country, and im going to work until the bloody end to try to convince this president to do the right thing by these young people. Javier, it sounds like if the president ends this program, even with the sixmonth delay, you may decide to leave that Diversity Council. Is that right . That is correct, but again, jim, im going to work with him and his administration. I was just on the phone with the white house. I want to remind him and his team that from an economic standpoint and again were Business People that the United States none of them young people get benefits of any sorts. It would cost the american taxpayers over all these young people and over a tenyear period of time, our economy would lose some 280 billion of economic output if we get of these it kids. No reason to take this on. This would be a deplorable action on behalf of this president , and im going to work until the bloody end to make sure that my case is being heard and hopefully, hopefully joined by the likes of speaker ryan, john mccain, orrin hatch, congressman kauffman and temperature others in the republican parties javier, we know several Top Republicans are not on board, but Lindsey Graham is weighing in. He soujds somewhat supportive of this. If President Trump makes this decision, we will work to find a legislative solution to their dilemma. How confident are you, javier, that the congress can figure this out . You know, they havent done it yet, but i think this may be that opportune moment. These are the types of moment that define people, define american leaders. I hope they had step up to this challenge. I believe senator graham will do the right thing these young people have done to nothing wrong. They were brought here as children, again usually before the age of 6. This is the only country they have ever known, from an economic or political standpoint, this is the right thing to do. We need to protect the Daca Recipients and keep them in america, the only country they know. Javier, the president has said he he would treat this issue with heart that he loves the dreamers.
