Referendum on President Trumps 100 days. And, it wouldnt be easter without the white house egg roll. The tradition lives on under a new administration. Welcome to the programme im katty kay in washington, Christian Frasers in london. Donald trump says north korea has to behave. Speaking in the rather incongruous setting of the white house Easter Egg Roll, the president added only that youll see how the us decides to respond to north koreas latest provocation. His Vice President , mike pence, was firmer, suggesting americas patience is wearing thin. Two days after a failed Missile Launch mr pence stood at the edge of the most heavily militarized border on the planet and stared across at the communist north korean soldiers. And they stared back, taking pictures of the white house delegation that was barely 30 metres away. For mike pence this was an emotional trip. His father edward fought in the korean war and was awarded the bronze star for his service. Today almost 64 years on, the two countries are still technically at war. The white house says it is looking at all options short of Military Action to resolve the stand off. But the Vice President warned them the strategic patience is over. Since 1992, the United States and our allies have stood together for a denuclearised korean peninsula. We hope to achieve this objective through peaceful means, but all options are on the table. Just in the past two weeks the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our new president , in actions taken in syria and afghanistan. North korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength armed forces of the United States in this region. We will defeat any attack and we will meet any use of conventional or Nuclear Weapons with an overwhelming response. It would seem the warnings from washington are not yet having the desired effect. 0ur Correspondentjohn Sudworth who is in pyongyang has been speaking to the vice Foreign MinisterHan Song Ryol who says despite the threats the Missile Tests will go on. If the us is reckless enough to use military means it would mean from that very day and all out war. 0ur Nuclear Weapons protect us from that threat. We have been conducting more Missile Tests on a weekly, monthly, yearly basis. If you could send one message to President Trump today what would it be . Translation i would tell him that if the us in croke is on our sovereignty it will provoke an immediate tea counterreaction. If they are planning a Military Attack against us we will retire with a nuclear pre emptive strike by our own style and methods. And we can speak now to former Us Ambassador to south korea, christopher hill. We dont get to hear from the vice Foreign Minister of north korea very often, what is your reaction to what he said . It is an example of their customary charm. Usually this is how they react to what they perceive as threats. You recall their statements to reduce south Koreas Capital to the sea of fire. This is along those lines. The real question is are they going to try to test Nuclear Weapons despite these warnings, Inc Coming Most recently from the Vice President , or will they back off a bit . The chinese have certainly tried to get them to back off, but we dont know. They may feel they have to go forward and at that point it will be very interesting what the trumpet this region does. We have had slightly mixed messages over the weekend with the National Security adviser saying america wanted to stop short of some kind of Military Action, Vice President pens sounding tougher in korea and this patience was wearing thin. Due to go is a risk this ministry should be painted itself into a corner where effectively Military Action is the only option achieves itself . Great powers dont laugh. The reason is when great powers get into confrontation they have two prevail. Great powers dont bluff. That is quite an undertaking if that is the direction we want to go. People need to keep and in mind why we are there. It has to do with our allies, there. It has to do with our allies, the south koreans, and we make sure that whatever we do or say or think, that whatever we do or say or think, that we analyse the issue, it is done with an understanding of the South Corrosion is where we are. I have no problem with the idea that we need to ratchet up the issue. It is not going away on its own and certainly no amount of patients will make it go away. But i think we need to think carefully as we consider options that i think by all accounts are not very desirable. If you are going to ratchet it up, how do you do that . China signed off last year or two of the toughest Security Council resolutions we have had, one cutting off cold to the north koreans which of course they desperately need. It is still not working. First, i think desperately need. It is still not working. First, ithink there desperately need. It is still not working. First, i think there is a fundamental question of whether sanctions even well imposed and well supervised sanctions are going to be ona supervised sanctions are going to be on a fast enough train to catch up to where the north Korean Nuclear missile programmes are. I think there is a big question of whether these sanctions can work. That said, i would say china has not done as much as they could. I think they are beginning to comply, they are beginning to comply, they are beginning to comply, they are beginning to look at how to dying i the financial sector, but it is important to understand china have increased their trade with north korea even in these last few months. And think it is important where china is going with this. I think anyone listening to what beijing is saying or reading what is going on in their press, suggests a Country Thatis in their press, suggests a country that is really tired of north korea. But i think we need to understand that china is not going to be interested in some kind of Military Venture and they want to make sure everything has been done before even thinking about such an outcome. I thinking about such an outcome. I think the Trump Administration will continue to have its work cut out for it in terms of keeping the chinese on board for more robot s response. Good to get your response. Thank you. Its pretty obvious now that this is the Foreign Policy challenge for the white house. The Fa Ct Challenge for the white house. The fact that he sent mike pence as is and miss airey to korea on such an important weekend speaks volumes. And thats mike pens talked so tough. This is the first Big Challenge For Donald Trump and he has decided to effectivelyjettison his promises on trade to a key base of his supporters in order to make our lives with the chinese, to address the north korean problem. This is how critical this problem is. For the president to say i during the campaign called china currency manipulator, i am not going to do that any more because they are working with is north korea. It gives you some idea of the sense of urgency on this. International Election Observers have issued a damning conclusion on this weekends referendum in turkey. They say the vote wasnt conducted on a level playing field. They questioned the actual count, as well as the tone of the campaign. 0pposition parties, which failed to stop president erdogan gaining sweeping new powers for himself, may now feel emboldened by the monitors report. But mr erdogan is not backing down his Foreign Ministry says the observers findings are unacceptable. He said the vote ended all debate and questioned the impartiality of the observers. He even proposed a new referendum. None of those talks will make it turkeys relationship the west any easier. We will not listen to the words of george, hands or helga. We will listen to the words of allah almighty. A short time ago i spoke to our correspondent in istanbul, mark lowen. A pretty damning report on the vote in the campaign. Is there any suggestion now in turkey that that yes result could be overturned . I think it would still be a very uphill struggle to try to overturn the results. But the opposition will feel emboldened and i think by this damning verdict by the Observer Mission in trying to appeal to the electoral court, the electoral board, they want a rerun of the entire referendum and a nullification of it if indeed the results are proven to be invalidated. It is very difficult in a country where the state machinery is so heavily controlled by the president and his inner circle, and where about 80 of the media is pro government, so they are hammering home this message that this was a decisive victory. So it is difficult to overturn but what i think will happen and what i think the Observer Missions verdict will do is to reinforce this cloud of illegitimacy over the mandate of president erdogan. He doesnt want that, his supporters dont want it, and its a pretty difficult position for him to be in now. What does that mean the turkey going forwards . It is already a divided country presumably this does nothing to bring the two sides closer together. No, it does quite the polar opposite. And hes a man who has a kind of Siege Mentality sometimes of sort of doubling down and turning in on his inner circle and i think that will only be accentuated, there will be a feeling that his once extensive Support Network has shrunk considerably. He does still have a lot of support, still half the country, but they did not get a resounding victory they wanted. And for such a monumental political change, they dont have the mandate that they wanted, really. They have still claimed victory but while the doubts linger over the next steps and over the weeks and months ahead it is going to really accentuate the split here and make the goal of stability which turkey yearns for even harder to achieve. And for more on the long term implications of this vote we are joined from istanbul now by ali agaoglu, a columnist from the vatan newspaper. Good to see you. Thank you for being with us. Let me read you a quote from president erdogan today. He said we prevail despite the attacks by Western Crusaders and their servants. Hes talking about europe. No sign of any reconciliation yet. Actually. Thank you for asking. But the question over there is the whole campaign is based on some Western Crusaders or foreign powers trying to cause problems in turkey, but president erdogan was trying to unify supporters under this key and i think it will be a little bit going further because the rate 51 49 or Something Like that, is not a great victory for him and i think he will consider further alternatives. But, as you said, the division between our people will continue for a while because he needs to consolidate his power as a president before consolidating it hes not going to put any further straightforward policies against us or against the European Union. The European Union accession will be on the top subject for us. How does this change turkeys relationship with its western allies . The truth is the west still needs this critical nato member and particularly at the moment with syria, terrorism and the refugees that have been coming out of that syria conflict. I would say thats a big Question Mark for us because syria, robert lee we are going to be out of table at least for this foreseeable future, because russia, america and the Kurdish People over there made a kind of unity or lets see allies. Turkey is out of the equation for the time being. But it isa equation for the time being. But it is a member of nato. As that we will still be in nato but there will be discussion within turkey and nato, of course russia probably will be the major Decision Makers here next to the us, but the question for turkey probably we are not going to be out of nato but that will be a ha rd be out of nato but that will be a hard discussion between turkey and nato because of russia. 0n hard discussion between turkey and nato because of russia. On top, if we are not going to continue the Accession Talks with the eu, there will be different questions or different policies in turkey considering the nato Membership Plus the eu accession. If president erdogan decides to go the early elections in 2018, certainly the major discussion will be about eu membership and consolidation will be about this discussion still being a member of nato and still being a future member of the eu. I think we will have early election in 2018 prior to 2019. A number of ramifications from that referendum. Thank you for being with us. Some of the day s other news.
