In paula hancocks. Paula, the fifth Nuclear Test North Korea appears to have conducted and the most powerful one and coming on the heels of President Obamas visit to asia. Reporter thats right. The timing certainly is interesting, john. The fact is north korea announced on staterun television saying they successfully tested the Nuclear Warhead and they can put that on any one of the Ballistic Missiles. It is impossible for the world to verify that specifically in washington and seoul and tokyo. In the past hour, there has been an intelligence briefing for lawmakers here in seoul. They have said they believe north koreas goal is to mount a Nuclear Warhead on a scud missile. Remember 28,000 u. S. Troops in south korea are here now. This is going much quicker than expected. Intelligence says north korea has advanced quicker than expected. There is large interest around the world in china and japan and russia condemning the nuclear test. It shows that kim jongun is determined to forge ahea
Proudly claimed that he had a plan but was keeping it secret. Last night, though, he indicated his plan was to tell generals to come up with a plan. So did he ever really have his own plan . Thats just one of the issues on the table today. Lets go right now to senior white house jim acosta live for us at that event. What are you expecting, jim . I think what well hear from donald trump here is hes going to make this argument hes better suited to be Commander In Chief of the United States. We expect him to make these remarks here in the next half an hour or so. Hes going to talk about, as you mentioned, that plan to talk to his generals on the first day he takes the oath of office, to come up with a plan for defeating isis. It is something he talked about at an event in greenville, North Carolina last night. Heres what he had to say. So were going to convene my top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the oval office a plan for soundly and qui
Set to speak to reporters before returning to the campaign trail. The critical swing state of north carolina. Live pictures from the Westchester County airport in new york, were awaiting clinton to make some remarks. This comes as President Obama slams trump just hours after they took part in a forum on National Security. The audience filled with currents and former military officials. Some of whom trump says have been unable to do their jobs due to the current administration. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where it is embarrassing for our country. You have a force of 30,000 or so people, nobody really knows, but probably 30,000 people. And i can just see the great as an example, general George Patton spinning in his grave. Okay, so President Obama offered this response from laos, where he was attending the summit of Southeast Asia nations. Lets listen. Last night, sir, donald
Employees got fired. Lets talk, live in the cnn newsroom. Good morning, im carol costello. North korea says its carried out its most powerful nuclear test yet. The explosion registering the force of a 5. 3 earthquake. Kim jonguns government now claiming it can make Nuclear Warheads small enough to fit on to missiles. World leaders are strongly condemning the apparent test. With President Obama saying just moments ago there will be serious consequences. He also said, and im just getting his statement right now, that north Koreas Nuclear test is a grave threat. He says to be clear the United States does foot and will never accept north korea as a nuclear state. We have Suzanne Malveaux on this story. Shell join us in a little bit. Lets head to tokyo now for north koreas side. Will ripley has that. Hi, will. Hi, carol. That brandnew statement from President Obama comes after he was very busy during the overnight hours speaking on the phone separately with the japanese Prime Minister shinz
Were described in the most deplorable of terms. Its extraordinary to think of it. She referred to those people as irredeemable. I will tell you right now, i campaign on a regular basis with donald trump. I campaign all across this country for donald trump. Hillary clintons low opinion of the people that support this campaign should be denounced in the strongest possible terms. The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trumps campaign are hardworking americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our Law Enforcement community, members of every class of this country who know that we can make America Great again. So let me just say from the bottom of my heart, hillary, they are not a basket of anything, they are americans, and they deserve your respect. [ cheers and applause [ cheers and applause ] ive not heard that level of disdain for americans that i can even repeat since barack obama described people that opposed him as people who cling to
