During 11 missile tests this year north korea has demonstrated its growing capabilities. At a military parade this spring it showed off missile canisters believed to contain icbms but it is still not known if theyve been able to miniaturize a war head to fit on top of those weapons. An expert on Nuclear Weapons policy. Are we at a point where getting north korea to abandon their Weapons Program is unrealistic and this is really more about containment . Theres no way north korea is going to abandon its Nuclear Weapons in the near term. In other words, denuke laization in the near term is impossible.

Putin is set to meet with trump for the first time on friday. It is still unclear if he will bring up russian meddling in the u. S. Election or russian sanctions. The crekremlin says the patienc with the u. S. Is running out. Also in washington, cbs News Senior National security contributor, a former acting and Deputy Director of the cia. Michael, good to see you. This this test happened on july 4th, americas independence day. It happened just before the g20 summit. How long will it be before we know exactly what kind of missile this was . Jeff, it will take several days for the Intelligence Community to make an assessment of whether this was an intermediate range missile or whether this was an intercontinental. That matters here. An intermediate range would not be able to reach alaska or hawaii, an icbm of the type we just saw tested would, so it really matters here but it will be a few days before we know for sure. Jeff just mentioned that fourth of july and g20 summit coming up. Whats the message that kim jongun is sending to the World Community right now . So, its interesting. He has had a history of doing provocative acts on july 4th. His First Nuclear test back in 2006 was on july 4th. He seems to think that it has a particular psychological impact on us doing something on july 4th. It obviously does not. It probably gets less news than he would like on july 4th. We used to joke at cia that the only thing doing this on july 4th does is ruin the holidays of a lot of intelligence analysts. But he does have a history of doing this. The message hes trying to send is, i can deter the United States of america from attacking me. I can deter them from trying to change the regime. Thats the message hes trying to send. The National Security advisor said there are a range of options they are looking at. You told us back in april you thought the best thing to do right now would be to ignore the north korean president. Do you believe thats still the case . So there is no good option here. There is no military option here to destroy his Nuclear Program, his missile program. There is no option to do that. That wouldnt start a second korean war and wouldnt raise the possibility of him using Nuclear Weapons against his neighbors. Hes got short range missiles, he has had a lot more time to work to make a Nuclear Weapon to those missiles so the risks are extraordinarily high in a military standoff. Theres also no diplomatic action here. I agree with the sentiment that there is no way that he will ever negotiate away his Nuclear Weapon program. So theres very little you can do except sanction him every time he does something and build our missile defenses as were doing in south korea, in hawaii, in california, alaska, to defend ourselves. That is about all we can do in the situation we face here. There are no good options. Mike morrell, thank you for joining us. Welcome.

Amongst the olive groves of northern syria, beside a deserted village thats been pum emed by artillery lies one of the strapgest front lines in the world. This area is under the control of these u.

A tweet from President Trump intensified a global debate about a british infant and the limits of medical care. 11monthold charlie gard suffers from a rare and incurable genetic disease. A London Hospital wants to remove child support. Charlie dagata is outside the hospital with the familys fight to bring him to the u. S. Charlie, good morning. Reporter good morning. A baby lies in a cot in one of those hospital rooms barely aware of his surroundings, certainly unaware that his fate will be decided in the next few days. As of last week the family was making the final preparations but thats before a pope and a president intervened. Charlie guard looked like a happy healthy baby boy when he was born 11 months ago today before it became known he was suffering from a rare terminal disease, before he found himself at the center of an ethical and legal battle that now involves pope francis and President Trump who yesterday tweeted, if we can help Little Charlie as per our friends in the uk and the pope wed be delighted to do so. But british doctors insist and british courts agree, there is no help and no hope for charlie. Hes blind and deaf, cant move his limbs or breathe on his own. A condition so rare hes thought to be only one of 16 children in the world to suffer from it. But his parents have refused to give up, raising 1. 7 million to pay for experimental medical treatment in the u. S. So we dont get this opportunity hes going to die. Whats the alternative. Yeah. He hasnt got anything to lose. We know that weve done even if it doesnt work, which i think it will, we know that weve done everything that we can for him. Reporter that hope, however slim is what makes this case so heart wrenching says the doctor. Every parent in the back of their mind with a child with a disorder says maybe if i hold out long enough the cure will come or there will be a magic that happens, and so the big question is, is there too much brain damage for this to be reversible or not . Reporter as it stands, europes highest court has decided charlies life support will be switched off. We know our son is going to die and we dont even get a say in what happens. Reporter if President Trump holds any sway in this case, ultimately the decision rests with the hospital staff here. Whether theyve had a change of heart and charlie is allowed to travel to the United States or whether his life support will be switched off as planned. Charlie dagata in london. Thank you.
