>> kristen welker at the white house. thanks. >> a lot at stake here. let's bring in nbc news national security analyst jeremy barb. good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. >> unfortunately americans have become somewhat accustomed to hearing about missile tests from north korea. but why is this one different? why is this more significant? >> it flew for 40 minutes. so it's 1700 miles up into space. if you flatten that out it means they could put a missile on america's doorstep. putting it right within range of alaska. even potentially hawaii. with a country that has 20 nuclear weapons worth of material, this represents a significant prove vags, savannah. >> it's the tenth missile test this year. by far its most significant and successful. does it appear they're making incredibly rapid progress? or does it just seem like that from the casual observer's point of view? >> no, it is extraordinary progress here in the last six months. ten tests as you reference. they had a couple of failures. but they learn as much from their failures as their successes. the last big test was mid-may. they flew the missile a similar distance. but just short of that critical 3,000 mile threshold. once they cross 3,000 miles, they know they can range the united states. >> we just saw that the president had tweeted back in january, it won't happen. the north isn't going to be able to test a missile that could reach the u.s. and yet, it has happened. so what are the potential responses here? >> one thing they haven't done yet, is they haven't miniaturized a nuclear weapon and put it on top of an icbm. i think that would really cause the international community and the united states to think about preemptive military actions. so we will try forceful diplomacy. we will try to rally allies at the g20 summit next week in europe. but we also have to consider much more punishing sanctions to really strangle the north korean regime. when the president tweets that he wants china and others to end this nonsense for all, i think kim jong-un reads that as a threat, a threat to him and he's going to dig in and try to advance his capabilities even more. >> all new administrations are tested, jeremy. this, though, would have to be considered the most significant and severe international crisis that this administration has faced. >> absolutely. because there are no good options. if we take pre-emptive military action, as we said many times before, we've got 38,000 troops on the korean peninsula. it would be a very devastating military conflict. >> jeremy barb, to be continued. thank you. appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. >> along with north korea, president trump's highly anticipated meeting with russian president vladimir putin will dominate headlines this week as the two get set to shake hands for the first time this friday. nbc's keir simmons is in hamburg, germany, where the g20 summit will take place. keir, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. president trump faces a tough trip here with uncomfortable conversations. as jeremy and kristen mentioned, north korea will come up when he meets with the chinese leader here. he does not see eye-to-eye with the german chancellor who is hosting the g-20. but all eyes will be on the meeting with president putin. a kremlin official telling me the details of that meeting on friday are up in the air. the most anticipated meeting of two world leaders in years. on the agenda, the russians say, terrorism, ukraine, and one kremlin leader emphasizing, breaking the impasse in u.s.-russian relations. president trump and president putin have spoken by phone. and the men talk about each other often. president putin hailing mr. trump as outstanding before the election. while mr. trump, declaring putin a far better leader than president obama. >> peten likes donald trump, i consider that an asset, not a liability. >> the allegations of russian intervention in the election have rocked the leaders' early roman romance. trump tweeting criticism, accusing president obama of doing nothing about russian meddling, and expressing the hope that things will work out between the usa and russia. last month the russian president spoke with megyn kelly, and had this to say about his relationship with president trump. >> translator: we didn't have any relationship at all. there was a time when he used to come to moscow. but you know, i never met with him. >> reporter: adding to the tension, hamburg is preparing for thousands of demonstrators. already overnight, protests were met with riot police. and water cannons. fear was a clash between the usa and russia perhaps in syria, will have many hoping for a constructive meeting. president putin will be prepared. president trump, the self-styled arch negotiator. >> i love to negotiate things. i do it really well. all that stuff. but it's possible i won't be able to get along with putin. >> reporter: the power dynamics as they shake hands for the first time, will be analyzed around the world. president trump will be hoping for cheering crowds when he touches down in poland late tonight. the poles and many european leaders will be pushing him to be tough on russia. other items on the g20 agenda, free trade, climate change and migration. the question, will president trump get through the next three days without a diplomatic confrontation? matt? >> all right, keir, thank you very much. a new york city police officer who was fighting for her life just hours ago has passed away this morning. she was shot in the head while sitting in a marked police vehicle. nbc's ron allen is at saint barn bus hospital in the bronx with details. ron, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, savannah. a very somber scene here outside the hospital. through the night scores of nypd officers arriving as that officer, me societyous familia, a 12 year veteran, 48 years old, clinging to life before succumbing to her wounds. shot in the head at point-blank range, while sitting in a marked police vehicle. unprovoked attack. that's how officials are describing the ambush where a female new york city police officer was shot and killed by a man who opened fire on her and her partner while they were sitting in their parked nypd vehicle. police say 48-year-old miosotis familia was assigned to a mobile command post in the bronx when a suspect, alexander bonds, fired through the car windows. striking familia in her head. an anti-crime team chased the suspect, running on foot, catching him a block away from the scene. >> as they confronted him, he drew a revolver. the officers fired at him, killing him. >> reporter: new york's mayor speaking out during a press conference overnight. >> it's such a painful reality. a female police officer attacked out of nowhere. she was on duty serving this city, protecting people. doing what she believed in and doing the job she loves. >> reporter: now, we've just gotten a tweet in from the commissioner of the police department here saying, nypd p.o. miosotis familiarle la has been assassinated in an unprovoked attack on cops designed to keep new yorkers safe. keep her family in your prayers. it's all eerily reminiscent of an attack back in 2014 when two police officers were shot and killed while sitting in their police cruiser in brooklyn. in this case, the officer and the mobile command post had been in this neighborhood for several months because of gang activity. now police are trying to learn everything they can about why this happened as they mourn the loss of one of their own. matt, savannah?
