Good morning. Im sunny hostin. And im rob nelson. North korea has drawn a bulls eye on america. Its leaders have issued a direct threat that they will soon test a Nuclear Weapon and a longrange rocket, aimed at the u. S. There are signs that a nuclear test is in the works. And we know their missiles can now reach hawaii. But it doesnt appear they can combine them yet. Defense secretary leon panetta says the u. S. Is ready, though, to meet any provocation. How is all this going over in that region . Abcs Gloria Riviera has just arrived in seoul. And, gloria, how concerned are the leaders in south korea . Reporter rob, here in south korea, there is not panic yet. But there is serious concern. Yesterday, it was the u. S. Today, north korea directed its threat in this direction.

Calling for north korea to get back to the negotiating table. And say it will reduce its assistance if north korea carries out another test. Thats not what kim jongun wants
