shuttered their pyongyang bluetomy yum plant. what we have now is a situation where north korean officials are telling anyone who will listen to them they will not denuclearizelet their goals are, one, survival of the kim jong-un din city, two, power, three, grow our economy. that s what they ve been doing with kim jong-un. for the rest of the world that s what they ve been doing. what people don t want and what people fear is if they re not assured of these issues, there could be a catastrophic blunder. people do not agree who engage with north korea that there could be a suicidal regime, but there could be a misstep, mishap that could lead to awful and dreadful military consequences. i talked to another former cia
they couldn t do it. even if they did, what would they use it for, et cetera, et cetera. now it s conducted its sixth nuclear test and they believe this one to be another hydrogen bomb test and a much bigger explosion. plus the added really terrible situation whereby we stink acco think north korea has a picture. that is a first and incredibly dangerous and brings the whole thing to a new level. so, of course, i ve been talking to diplomats engaging with north korea and engaging over the time as much as they possibly can. the former u.s. secretary of defense william perry has visited and talked to north korea for many, many decades. under the clinton administration, there was a moment they moved back. i was there when they sort of
situation? but what i want to hear not only from the united states and from the international community as a whole, it s time to move on and draw a moratorium on efforting as soon as possible. lassina zerbo, thank you. thank you for watching us. i m natalie allen. and i m cyril vanier. new day is coming up next with more on north korea s sixth kan largest nuclear test. whoa that s amazing.
misadventure. could there be a blundering into some kind of confrontation. if these continues mixed messages keep getting passed to each side. i think that is really the question. you know, how do they read the united states intend. how do they read the statements coming out of either the white house or the pentagon. this isn t just for this u.s. administration. it s been previous administrations as well. is there a coordinated strategic coherent u.s. approach to this enkridably dangerous situation raich now. you remember president trump who engaged so-called strategic patience, where there wasn t any of this is all all this take place, the unfolding and succ s acceleration. at the same time, no negotiations were going on. he warned president trump, we understand from that
less than a day after pong yoing said it had a new hydrogen bomb. they claim it can be loaded onto a intercontinental ballistic missile. he s the executive secretary of the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization. thank you for joining us. tell us. you have monitoring stations around the world. how did you first detect what happened? our international monitoring station which comprises 365 facilities around the world has detected a large size mieismic much larger than what was previously recorded in peninsula. nearly 6.59 compared to the one in 2016, 5.1. that is clearly a situation that the physics of the event say it s much bigger and larger
