North korea says it is on the brink of war because of actions by the United States. In an interview with cbs news overnight, one of the countrys top officials accused the Trump Administration of wanting to annihilate north korea. Tensions are rising as the north gets ready to mark the most important day on its calendar tomorrow. The day its founder was born. 105 years ago. Dictator kim jongun has been putting on elaborate displays. A u. S. Navy strike group is sailing toward the Korean Peninsula ahead of a possible north Korean Nuclear test this weekend. Ben tracy is in pyongyang where he spoke to the Government Official who warned about the growing risk of a military confrontation. Ben, good morning. Good morning. We sat down with north koreas vice minister for Foreign Affairs for a 40minute long interview in which he did not mince any words. He says if provoked by the United States, north korea is ready and willing to fight a war and that its Nuclear Program is not negotiable. Reporter vice minister Han Song Ryol says the situation between the United States and north korea is the worst its ever been. In one word, trump is openly pursuing a policy to annihilate north korea by force of arms. Reporter he calls President Trumps decision to send a navy strike force to the Korean Peninsula, as well as continued u. S. Military exercises in the area, provocative acts. Do you believe the United States wants to attack north korea . Translator if the u. S. Comes up with a dangerous military option, then the first card is in our hands. Well deal with it with our strike. This means war. So youre saying if you feel that north korea is going to be attacked, you will use Nuclear Weapons . Translator of course. Reporter so far this year, north korea has conducted four missile launches that included more advanced technology and potential longrange capability. It is also expected to soon carry out its sixth nuclear test. In its quest to build a nuclear tip missile capable of reaching the United States. On thursday, we saw the countrys leader, kim jongun, open a large new residential neighborhood in pyongyang. A sign north korea believes it can survive further u. S. Sanctions and continue its Nuclear Program. Is there anything that could happen that would lead you to not do that . Translator its impossible. Do you plan to conduct that test in the coming days . Translator the nuclear test will take place at a time and place that the supreme leadership deems necessary. Reporter now the vice minister told me that north korea does not want a war and that they are just responding to threats from the United States. I asked him if he thought there was a peaceful solution here, and he suddenly started speaking ed english and said, you hope for the best, and prepare for the worst. Alex . Ben tracy doing great reporting in north korea, thanks, ben. An unprecedented u. S. Bombing in afghanistan may also be a signal to north korea. The pentagon has just released video of the attack with the socalled mother of all bombs last night local time. The Afghan Defense Ministry Says 36 isis fighters and no civilians were killed. The bomb carries nearly 22,000 pounds of explosives. It is the most powerful weapon the u. S. Has used in combat since the atomic bombing of nagasaki, japan n 1945. David martin is at the pentagon with more. David, good morning. Good morning. The target was a cave complex in an area where most of the isis fighters in afghanistan are believed to be hiding out. Before the strike, there were an estimated 600 to 800 isis fighters in afghanistan. 11 ton bomb guided by gps satellite detonated at 7 32 in the evening local time, setting off a massive pressure wave that would have crushed the life out of fighters in the cave. The Massive Ordnance Air blast as it is officially called sent a mushroom like cloud towering into the sky. This was the right weapon against the right target. Reporter general john nicholson, the u. S. Commander in afghanistan, said he ordered the first combat use of the bomb so afghan troops and their american advisers wouldnt have to go in on the ground to clear out the cave. The pentagon officials said the strike had been in the works for months, and that the bomb itself was moved into afghanistan during the obama administration. Authority to use it had been delegated to general nicholson, although he notified washington in advance. Still, it happened on Donald Trumps watch. If you look at whats happened over the last eight weeks and compare that to really whats happened over the last eight years, youll see theres a tremendous difference. Reporter as shown in this 2003 test, the bomb is dropped from an mc130 aircraft using a parachute to drag it out of the cargo bed, the sled detaches and the bomb falls to earth with fins steering it to within ten yards of its target. This test clearly shows the pressure wave it sets off. The bomb was developed specifically to attack cave complexes and for its pure terror effect. U. S. And Afghan Soldiers are at the cave complex now inspecting the damage. A u. S. Military official said the aim of the attack was to collapse the tunnels and caves. Just last week an american soldier was killed in the same area when isis fighters popped out of the cave and ambushed him. Thanks, david. Cbs News Senior National contributor Michael Morell is a forer Deputy Director of the cia. Good morning. Good morning. One point on davids eporting is it possible that this was also to send a message orthorth korea . Ont dont think the u. S. Intended it that way. I think it was used because in here was a military purpose. Ight think it might be seen by kim jongun as a message. What are the capabilities of north korea as we speak . They have Nuclear Weapons. Ucleare tested Nuclear Weapons five times. D number of times successfully. Five have shortrange and mes. Umrange Ballistic Missiles that are capable of reaching ully. Targets. They have deployed an icbm thats capable of reaching the targets. Tal United States. Being an intercontinental capable of reaching the United States that theyve never tested and we think theyve had capa enough time to make a Nuclear Weapon to a missile. So the threat is now, right. Its not two years from now. They can reach us. We havhave to assume that, yes. The threat of them having he threaweapons is what, beyond reaching us now . So its use, its use against south korea, japan, us. Its sail to another country. And its loose nukes in a situation where the regime collapses and who controls those Nuclear Weapons. Wh theres three different threats. E diffee is our help here . Is china of assistance . The president has been talking to xi jinping and yet at the ance . Time it appears that relationship is more complicated than the president previously understood. In if youre going to squeeze north korea economically china has to do it because theyre 80 of their trade. 80o issues, one is chinas hes tgness to squeeze them. Willingars an unstable Nuclear Armed north korea more than they fear a Nuclear Armed north korea. They dont want to bring about instability. The chinese keep on making that inst thint. If then the second shissue if e did squeeze them would north korean behavior change, i doubt about. The North Koreans tend to do doubting provocative around the theay celebration of the founder this weekend. Cateurse we expecting here . So i would expect, based on everything were hearing a the ear test. Xpectipossible there could be a wssile test to go along with the nuclear test. Why do you think this crisis alon why toing now . C i think thats a good question. I think theres two issues. We we have a new president and kim jongun is trying to sidentnge him, is trying to get im back to the negotiating gete. Remember, barack obama ignored the North Koreans for eight rears. Did not run to the negotiating everyevery time there was a provocation. Kim jongun wants to get back to a situation where we give them wants ten they do something bad. E we gen we are also making it worse, right, with our bluster and by sending aircraft carriers ter anre, were raising the crisis. Its best to just ignore this guy and to deter him from ever using these weapons or selling them and to build our defenses. So on that note, you say that defens kim jongun may look at the deployment of this socalled mother of all bombs as a sort of demontration of u. S. Military might. It sounds like that bomb was hatst moved into afghanistan by the obama administration. How long has this been in the works . Nistanthis has been weve used bombs like this before, work in vietnam and in afghanistan, nothing ever this big. But its, as david martin said, its designed to deal with these carve complexes and thats where s. E isis guys have been hiding. Ngss been there for a while. Approved for use. Omes is not some new strategy on fhe part of the Trump Administration. We had a battlefield commander general nicholson who could make the decision without wh aving to take it to the vingagon. Yes. Yes. Res a balance here. Theres a really important herece here. Between killing isis on the kill battlefield in afghanistan and then driving people to peop extremists. We had former president karzai overnight criticizing the use of rnighteapon for that very reason. Need ted to strike a balance. Balanct saying this was the iong thing to do, but there is a downside to using it. Michael morell, thanks very hael verPresident Trumps cia director is calling wikileaks a hostile Intelligence Service. Director mike pompeo accused wiki bleex founder Julian Assange of working with russia ianleak stolen information from Hillary Clinton campaign officials.

National security, and he warned that assanges arneding incorrectly that First Amendment will protect him from punishment. Julian assange and his kind are not the slightest bit interested in improving civil liberties. Reporter in his first public libeess as cia director, mike pompeo came out swinging at wikileaks and its founder. Nge. Me to call out wikileaks as t nonstate host still Intelligence Service often abated by russia. Theeporter he accused wikileaks of working with wssian intelligence to release emai emails stolen from the Democratic Party and clinton campaign.
