This bomb had more power than previous tests and could spark strong reaction from world leaders. Its tuesday, february 12th. From abc news, this is world news now. And good tuesday morning, everybody. Im rob nelson. And im diana perez. This is the Third Nuclear test and is a slap in the face to countries who have been trying to prevent north korea from becoming a nuclear power. Well go live to tokyo in a moment, but first some of the other stories were following this morning. Our other top story. The future of the church after the popes rare resignation. Questions, reaction and a look at who might succeed him. This was something no one expected. There were some clues to suggest maybe he was thinking about this for quite some time. But this caught not only the world off guard, but a billion plus catholics but even insiders in the vatican were caught flat footed. So eyes now on who could be next. Maybe between now and easter well find out. The emotional interview with joe paternos widow in the wake of a scathing report about the sandusky coverage. How the family is fighting to clear his name. That was quite an emotional interview she had. She was there specifically to do one thing. She was there to clear his name. And there was a lot of emotion during that interview. Did you see the interview . I did. She was asked point plank, was there a coverup . She said absolutely not. She was there for one reason. Interesting it took her this long. It has been a while. Its been a year. And the latest installment in the saga that is rihanna and chris brown. How she might be taking the phrase stand by your man to a whole new level. Unconfirmed reports out there, but could be an Interesting Development in that relationship. Well get to that in the skinny. But first Important News and that is breaking news out of north korea. Defiantly acknowledging that it has successfully conducted another nuclear test. Just hours ago, seismic activity equivalent to a 4. 9 magnitude earthquake was defected in north korea near the site of two previous atomic tests. Pyongyang had been threatening to conduct the underground test for weeks saying the u. S. Was its prime target. And for the latest on this, we turn now to abcs akiko fujita. Shes live in tokyo for us this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, rob. Pyongyang conducted two Nuclear Tests before, but this is the first test under new leader kim jungun. Pyongyang state media says they used a miniature device. If true, it would mean that north korea is a step closer to its stated goal of creating a Nuclear Warhead small enough to be mounted on top of a longrange missile capable of reaching the u. S. South Koreas Defense Ministry says the bomb detonated by north korea yielded an explosion that was 6 to 7 kilotons. Thats a significant improvement over previous tests in 2006 and 2009. For some perspective, thats about 2 3 the size of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. News of this test immediately sent u. S. And south korea forces in the region on high alert. Here in japan, the Prime Minister convened an Emergency Security meeting. The key question, how big was the bomb detonated and did they use plutonium. Or highly enriched you main rum . North koreans claim it was a lighter atomic bomb, meaning a greater chance for this bomb to be weaponized. Analysts say if north korea were successful in build thing bomb out of highly enriched uranium, it would speed up pyongyangs ability to extend its arsenal in a relatively short amount of time. Rob and diana . Akiko, you mentioned that the u. N. Security council will hold an emergency meeting on all of this in the morning. So what exactly could they do . I assume it could be more sanctions . Reporter we could certainly expect more sanctions. Here in japan, weve heard from the japanese Prime Minister who is considering their own sanctions. But its important to keep in mind these sanctions have been placed on north korea before, but theyve conducted now three Nuclear Tests in direct defiance of those sanctions. So the question now is just how effective are they . Thank you so much from tokyo this morning. More provocation. Hard to believe. See how the world reacts later. Our other major story on this stunning news that came out yesterday, that Pope Benedict is resigning at the end of the month. At age 85, the pope says he does not have the strength to carry out his duties any longer. The surprising decision has farreaching imply faces for the millions of catholics around the world. Abcs Nick Schifrin reports from vatican city. Reporter good morning, rob. Good morning, diana. Pope benedict is a shy leader but a reminder of the man they used to call gods rottweiller. Unpredictabili unpredictability, unprecedented and it might just guarantee his legacy. At 85, hes silver haired and cerebral and says he simply cant keep up. Pope benedict xvi told his cardinals he had become so infirm, ive had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. In the last year, benedict grew increasingly frail. He certainly slowed down a bit. You can tell he had trouble negotiating steps. He started using the cane several months ago. Reporter but the german pope never slowed down. Putting the church on an orthodox path. He opposed homosexuality and female priests. He tried to heal wounds, apologizing to victims of sexual abuse. But his church shielded accused priests and hid crimes from authorities. Theyve got to come to terms with the priest scandal. They have to be more candid and honest about it. Reporter he filled stadiums but he was always a bookworm, more comfortable writing. Many are now calling for a more dynamic pope. Thanks to the first papal retirement in six centuries, cardinals might be willing to choose a younger successor. The cardinals are going to have to weigh experience and the need for a certain level of energy. Reporter what looked like a divine sign, lightning hitting st. Pauls cathedral. Benedict wont choose his successor, but his handpicked cardinals will. Theyre expected to continue the conservative traditions of a man whose most important legacy as pope might have been his final act. Rob, diana . Abcs Nick Schifrin at the vatican for us this morning. Like so many other american catholics, new Yorks Cardinal Timothy Dolan said he was stunned by the resignation and looks to the future in a talk with abcs diane sawyer. The church is in the business of fundamental change internally. So when we speak about change in the church, yeah, there could be a change in style. Theres certainly always going to be a change of heart because conversion of heart is what were about. But there cant be a tampering with the changeless teachings of the church. Dolan said he laughed when they first heard reports of Pope Benedicts resignation because they said they heard the same thing so many times before. Of course, all of this has led to much speculation who might be the pontiffs successor. The top names being mentioned by experts are cardinal scola, 71 years old and from italy. Hes being called the frontrunner right now. Canadas Cardinal Mark olette is next in line, 68 years old. And the former archbishop of quebec. 64yearold Cardinal Peter turkson of ghana is also mentioned. And this is significant, since theres a growing catholic population in africa. Argentinas cardinal and italys Cardinal Angelo banoska is also on the possible list. In other news this morning, president obama is expected to highlight the battle against gun violence, Immigration Reform and increasing taxes in tonights state of the Union Address. Hell speak before a sharply divided congress who has invited guests that include both ends of the spectrum. Among them, ted nugent and a teacher who survived the sandy hook shooting rampage. The parents of chicago murder victim Hadiya Pendleton are going to sit with the first lady tonight during the president s speech. Two suspected gang members have now been charged in the 15yearold honor students death. Police say it was apparently a case of mistaken identity. One of the suspects told them that a rival gang member was the intended target. Now to another case of deadly gun violence. Bullets flying at a court house in delaware. Witnesses say a man shot and killed two women as they approached the metal detectors of the county courthouse in wilmington. He also wounded two cops before he himself was fatally shot. One victim was the shooters estranged wife. He had been involved in an ongoing child custody dispute. A woman who looks like a regular old grandma is in a fair bit of trouble this morning. In some lighter news after all of that. Oh, yeah. There she was in the atlanta courtroom in her prison jump suit, handcuffs. 79yearold norma schifrin. She was busted last week. Are you ready for this . Trying to sell marijuana. Inside her small home, police found nine pounds of weed, and some loot. In fact, 130,000 in straight cold hard cash. The money was being stored very neatly in some old style lunchboxes. Neighbors said with so many people visiting her house, they thought they were just there to take care of the elderly woman. But it seems she may have been taking care of them. Right. P. S. , she had hip replacements a couple of years ago. But the glaucoma is cleared up nicely, grandma. Coming up next, pampered pets. Its only the best for the pups at the westminister dog show. Well show you coming up what we mean.

For the First Time Since the sex abuse scandal broke at penn state, the widow of joe paterno is offering an emotional defense of her late husband. Sue paterno says joes legacy was unfairly tarnished. She made those remarks in an exclusive interview with abcs katie couric. With more now, heres abcs karen travers. Reporter good morning. The paterno family is coming out swinging. No surprise. The report that they commissioned said the legendary football coach did not cover up the sexual abuse allegations. A year after he passed away, joe paternos family is fighting to clear his name. If he knew what he knew, if he knew in 2001 what he then learned in 2011, yes, he would do more. Anyone would. But we didnt have that benefit. Reporter paterno was fired during a latenight phone call after more than 45 years as the penn state head football coach. The University Said he covered up the allegations of sexual abuse against his longtime assistant and former player Jerry Sandusky. In an exclusive interview with abcs katie couric, the wife of the legendary coach recalled her reaction when she heard the charges against sandusky. Horror, disbelief. Its still hard to accept. Reporter penn state tapped former fbi director louie freeh to investigate who knew what and when about sanduskys dealings with young boys. His report said joe paterno covered the allegations against sandusky. But the paterno family came out swinging. Much was overlooked. Much was misrepresented in the report. Reporter so they launched their own investigation and concluded there was no evidence the coach hid the allegations against sandusky or ordered a coverup. We didnt have that mindset that he was doing anything more than teaching them, working out with them, and getting a shower. He worked out with them in the weight room. It had nothing to do with suspecting hes a pedophile. Reporter freeh says he stands by his conclusion that powerful people at penn state including joe paterno, failed to protect children. Rob and diana, back to you. Both reports potentially have conflicts. Do you believe the family, which obviously wants to protect the legacy of this legendary coach. Or do you believe the fbi, which was maybe eager to find scapegoats because this went on for so long. So many people could have known and did nothing. You know, joe paterno hasnt been charged. Joe paterno hasnt hes found guilty in a sense, but aside from his legacy being tarnished, they havent gone after him or his family that was associated with him specifically. Its the legacy, protecting that legacy. She did say even her own kids were allowed to be in the Swimming Pool with Jerry Sandusky. So if you allow your own kids, do you really believe she said do you really believe i thought he was a pedophile . Powerful point, powerful point. Coming up next, chris brown and rihanna engaged . We have that in the skinny. Stay tuned, everybody. We have that in the skinny. Stay tuned, everybody. World news now con you know how ll was always licking his lips. You know what i mean . Skinny, so skinny skinny in the house do it again. Theres a thing that came up a few months ago, making fun of l. L. , because hes always licking his lips and he said the same thing again at the grammys on sunday night. So many thanks to the good folks over at jimmy kimmel, because they had this funny setup when they were comparing more, ll licking his lips more or using the word amazing during the bachelor. So take a look at this. For that song. And our show had to change. Thank you. Hes still going. Thank you so much. That wasnt even the whole show. That was like the first segment. Thank you, jimmy kimmel, for laying that all out. Ive been saying that for months. That ll just be licking way too much. Its ridiculous. Calm down. Thank you for somebody showing what i said a few months ago. That was funny stuff. That was great. That was wonderful. This is actually some serious oh, come on i dont even have any tissue to give you. Its ridiculous. You keep going. This is some sad news if its true. We dont know for sure, but apparently rihanna showed up to the grammys wearing what looked like an Engagement Ring on her finger. She was cozying up to chris brown. Rectangular shaped, beautiful diamond ring with a lot of small diamonds around it. Heres the problem. As we all remember back in 2009, chris brown was accused of and convicted of beating her, if we remember. Shes beautiful and very talented, but i feel like misguided is a good word. My thing is, ive made this point before. Their relationship is their business, but if something bad happens again, very little sympathy will be found. Thats all im saying. So proceed with caution. Justin bieber was snubbed this year at the grammys, was not asked to perform. So he tried to get around that by hosting his own live stream show, but the video crashed, so it never happened. He responded by uploading a new track that hes working on. And sent out these pictures of him showing off the chest and doing all this stuff. Bad boy biebs all of a sudden. All tatted up. I dont understand that. Hes going to be a real mess when he hits puberty. But will it stay fabulous til 5 oclock . It will if its new outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation from covergirl.

Good morning. Im diana perez. And im rob nelson. Good morning, everybody. Well have more on the reaction to the popes resignation announcement. And take a look at what could be next for the church and its followers. When someone steps down, the cover switches just like that to whats coming next. A lot of speculation on who we know roughly the timeline, but what kind of person they want next, younger, older, perhaps hispanic. Where are they going to be from, africa, hispanic. Or italy. So its going to be interesting to see who steps up next. But were talking about an older gentleman stepping down. So do we want Somebody Just as old and experienced or perhaps a little younger . It will be interesting to see. Lots of decisions facing the church in the next few weeks. Also this morning, the latest round of Severe Weather to hit the country. This time a giant tornado rolls through the streets of mississippi, destr amazugh. Faith in the also ahead thislf h n t also ahead thislf h his life received hi his life received hi are ptoring. Talk about unforgettable scenes. Well go behind the scenes of the sports ilstra thank you, willis. What makes these pages oh, so popular. I have two guesses. The right and the left. Well get to that in a second. We want to begin with breaking news from north korea. Word this morning that the reclusive nation has conducted a Third Nuclear test. Pyongyang acknowledged the underground test after it apparently triggered a 4. 9 magnitude earthquake. Its the first such test under new leader kim jungun and could bring the north closer to its goal of building a nuclear weapon. That could one day threaten the u. S. Now for the changes ahead for the leadership of the Catholic Church. Pope benedict xvi says hell step down due to health concerns. But not even his closest associates had advanced word of the news. Its a bombshell that he dropped during a routine meeting at the vatican. Now more than 100 cardinals from 50 Different Countries must meet and agree on a new Church Leader before the end of march. Experts on the church say theres no clear frontrunner just yet on who will have the job ne but lots of speculation and some analysis of what this could mean for the future of the church. What messa american cardinals will be among those selecting that next pope. With more on reaction, heres abcs cilia pe es cilia rs. We pray for our holy f reporter fo Old Institution. But to many others, hope for a modern beginning. The church is a 2,000 plus year Old Institution that hasnt changed very much. And society is leaving the church way behind. Reporter to new orleans. I would like the Catholic Church to allow women to have the opportunity to become a priest. Reporter to chicago. Theyve got to come to terms with the priest scandal. Reporter to san francisco. What do you want to see in the next pope . A more accepting pope. Reporter accepting of what . Gay people. Reporter Pope Benedict may have taken a hard line against everything from gay marriage to abortion. The vatican even recently went public with its criticism of american nuns being too progressive. And compared to their church, Many American parishioners have a softer stance on social issues. When it comes to whether abortion should be legal, nearly half of american catholics say yes. Same thing for gay marriage. And on female priests, nearly 60 of american catholics say let women join. But even with a new pope, how much change will there really be . Its an opportunity for the church to change but its not likely the church will change. The college of cardinals is made up of men who have been appointed by either benedict or john paul ii. So theyre likeminded men. Reporter american catholics still make up the largest religious denomination in this country. But many believe if it wasnt for immigration from asia and latin america, their numbers would be on the decline. So will a new pope be able to change this course . That certainly is the question on the minds of many of the faithful. Cecilia vega, abc news, san francisco. Some are calling it coincidence, but others say its divine intervention. Take a look at this Lightning Strike at the vatican just hours after the announcement from Pope Benedict. It touched the top of st. Peters basilica. One of the holiest places of the church. And it got the attention of new yorks archbishop during an interview with diane sawyer. Have you seen these pictures today . No, what is this about . This is they say this happened today. Wow is that not something . Boy, oh boy. A lot of pasta overcooked with this Lightning Strike. Can you believe it at st. Peters . And above the chair of peter is that beautiful window of the holy spirit coming down. Boy, another apt image. Cardinal dolan will be among those choosing the next pope. Heres something interesting. The cardinals are cut off from the entire world when theyre choosing the pope. No television, no phones or computers. And if no pope is chosen, the ballots are burned with a specific chemical that puffs out black smoke off the chimney of the sistine chapel. Once we do have a new chapel, we have white smoke. So weve have to look for the white smoke once the conclave is started. I remember that scene from eight years ago when Pope Benedict took over. Everyone gathers right there waiting for the pope to come out. Its a big moment. Two things struck me. One, its interesting how american catholics are a little more liberal than catholics in other parts of the world with gay marriage or women becoming priests. You have to wonder in terms of geography and world demographics and with the surging hispanic catholic population, which way does the church go at this point . Does someone younger to reach out to the new generation, someone hispanic to reach out. Or someone more liberal to main stream catholics a little more. But that latter seems less likely. So many ways it could go. Should be interesting. He did say the way the church conducts its business is not to change with the new pope. The heart changes because we have a changing heart. But what we believe in, our general basis, which is no women and no gays and no divorce, that stays. Those are the teachings of the church. Thats what he said. It should be interesting. Nothing is immune from politics. Imagine what the conversations are like in that meeting for all those days. So stay tuned for that story. Well keep an eye on that in the coming weeks. Shifting gears now, the most wanted man in america, former l. A. Police officer Christopher Dorner is now charged with murder. The charge against dorner stems from the shooting death of a Police Officer last thursday. Dorner could face the Death Penalty if hes convicted. Last night, a hotel in tijuana, mexico was searched but no evidence of dorner was found. Police are following up on more than 700 tips that have come in since a 1 million reward was offered. Theyre also trying to reconstruct dorners life over the last six months to see if it yields any clues. Two suspected gang members are now charged with the murder of a chicago honors student. Police say one of the suspects has confessed to firing into a crowd that killed Hadiya Pendleton. They say that she apparently rather he apparently mistook the group of students for members of a rival gang. Hadiyas killing has become a National Symbol of gun violence. Her parents will sit with Michelle Obama at tonights state of the union. Thats certainly a nice gesture. You have to wonder how heavily the president will hit on gun violence tonight. The news in north korea. The tone of the speech last moments. They said unlike the inaugural speech, this will be an address much more focused on the economy than some of the other issues. Thats right. And just going back to that for one second. The two people charged, 18 and 20 years old. Very young men. Like many people say, babies killing babies. In other news, heavy rain is slowing down the cleanup effort after that powerful tornado tore through the state of mississippi. The twister barreled through three counties for 75 miles, damaging or destroying nearly 600 homes. It was an e4 with winds hitting 170 miles an hour as it raced across hattiesburg. More than 80 people were hurt but amazingly no one was killed. So your dads ashes they were in the front living room. Did he die recently . Yes, sir, about two months ago. Maybe he was watching over you guys. Maybe so. He had to be. I know somebody was. Officials say it could have been a lot worse, but sirens gave residents a 30minute warning. Many businesses were closed because it was sunday and the university of southern mississippi was emptier than usual because of mardi gras. It is impressive that it wasnt a lot worse than that. Heres a look now at your tuesday forecast. Hopefully a calmer one. Drenching rain in the south could cause flash flooding from new orleans to atlanta putting a damper on the fat tuesday festivities. Light snow in upstate new york and northern new england. Up to four inches of snow around amarillo, Oklahoma City and wichita.

This morning on world news now, north korea fires a warning shot to the world. The nation confirms it has conducted another nuclear test. This time launching a miniature Nuclear Device with even more power than before. Its tuesday, february 12th. From abc news, this is world news now. Good morning. Im diana perez. And im rob nelson. The white house is already calling the launch highly provocative. Were going to go live to tokyo in a second for the latest on this story. But before all of that, some other stories were following for you on this fat tuesday morning. A day after the pope surprises the world and announces his resignation, the world now wondering what or who could be next. Also coming up, new fears in the manhunt for a suspected killer. Investigators are now concerned he may have crossed the border. Also, if you grew up in the 80s, well, luke, laura and scotty were like old friends to you. Now these iconic characters of General Hospital are reuniting. Well hear what they expect to come from the big event. First, we want to get to breaking news. North korea makes good on its promise, conducting a Third Nuclear test, despite warnings from the international community. It test triggered a minor earthquake and had the council call for an emergency meeting later this morning. President obama issued a statement vowing to continue taking necessary steps to defend ourselves and our allies. Abcs akiko fujita joins us from japan with the latest on this mornings test and how close north korea may be to reaching its nuclear goal. Good morning. Reporter good morning to you, diana. Strong words from the white house this morning, saying this is a highly provocative act that undermines regional security. This is north koreas First Nuclear test under new leader kim jungun and if pyongyangs claims are true, it means they are a step closer to their stated goal of building a Nuclear Warhead small enough to be mounted on a missile aimed directly at the u. S. North korea confirmed the test in a Statement Released by state media saying it was carried out to defend the countrys security and sovereignty in the face of a ferocious, hostile act by the u. S. Scientists set off a miniature device, that is key because it means north korea is closer to building a warhead closer to building a warhead small enough to be mounted on a longrange missile that is capable of reaching the u. S. The test today comes just two months after pyongyang conducted a successful longrange missile test in direct defiance of u. N. Security council resolutions, and the key question now is, did north korea use plutonium as they did in previous tests or highly enriched uranium . If north korea was successful in building a bomb using enriched uranium, it would speed up their ability in a small amount of time. Rob and diana. Thank you. Based upon what she was talking about the president said it undermines the regions stability and a threat to the u. S. National security and to International Peace and security. And it doesnt make north korea any more secure, which is what its hoping for. Also in his statement. They are a provocative country. They like to get the worlds attention and flex their military muscle and the irony within the country is all this money that went into the development of this weapon when they are starving in the streets and extremely poor. Some observers have pointed out, maybe this has to do with three possible things. President s state of the Union Address tonight. He may have to tweak the speech a little bit. Two, the birthday of kim jongil is february 16 and the Chinese New Year was february 10. So there could be some other dates as to why this morning was their moment. So well see how it plays out. Eyes of the world on that very isolated and potentially dangerous country. Now to the other major story. A leadership change for the Catholic Church. Pope benedict will step down at the end of the month. Catholics are waiting to see who will be chosen to replace him. Abcs Nick Schifrin is joining us from vatican city. Reporter Pope Benedict is a shy leader but a reminder of the man who they used to call gods rottweiller. Unpredictable, unprecedented. It just might guarantee his legacy. At 85, hes silver haired and cerebral and says he cant keep up. Pope benedict xvi said hes become so infirmed, ive had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. In the last year, he grew increasingly frail. Hes certainly slowed down a bit. You can tell he has trouble negotiating steps. He started using the cane several months ago. Reporter but the german pope never slowed down, putting the church on an orthodox path. He opposed homosexuality and female priests. He tried to heal wounds, apologizing to victims of sexual abuse. But his church shielded accused priests and hid crimes from authorities. Theyve got to come to terms with the priest scandal. They have to be more candid and honest about it. Reporter benedict filled stadiums but he was always a bookworm, more comfortable writing. Many are now calling for a more dynamic pope. And thanks to the first papal retirement in six centuries, cardinals might be willing to choose a younger successor. The cardinals are going to have to weigh experience and the need for a certain level of energy. Reporter what looked like a divine sign, lightning hitting st. Pauls cathedral. Benedict wont choose the successor, but the hand picked cardinals will. Theyre expected to continue the conservative traditions whose legacy as pope might have been his final act. Rob, diana . A showdown in the senate today over chuck hagels nomination as the defense secretary. Democrats are going to force a vote on the nomination, rejecting demands for more information on hagels finances. Hagel got an important vote of confidence when john mccain said he was leaning towards confirmation. That Carnival Cruise ship thats stranded in the gulf of mexico is being pulled to mobile, alabama instead of mexico. Its been dead in the water since sunday when a fire knocked out its engines.

Abc news learned this is the third trip in which the triumph has suffered propulsion problems. The ships next two voyages have been canceled and passengers will receive a full refund. Interesting note here. Apparently its been towed to alabama to save the Company Millions and millions of dollars. And at this point, its like they just dont care about the poor vacationers. They are offering them all reimbursement, though, and money if you want to go on another Carnival Cruise ship. You always hear about that offer. I wonder how many people say im going to come back on this ship in the summer. At this point, you may be soured on the experience. No, thank you. Give me my money. Let me just go. Let me just get out this buffet room and move on. Good luck to those folks, there. Now to this story. Three people are dead after shooting inside of a Delaware Court house.

Then when i saw a cop hit the floor, then i hit the floor and everybody else was going down at that point. That was maybe 50, 60 people in the lobby. One victim was the gunmans estranged wife. Authorities say he had spent years in court embroiled in a child custody dispute.

And good tuesday morning, everybody. Im rob nelson. And im diana perez. This is the Third Nuclear test and is a slap in the face to countries who have been trying to prevent north korea from becoming a nuclear power. Well go live to tokyo in a moment, but first some of the other stories were following this morning. Our other top story. The future of the church after the popes rare resignation. Questions, reaction and a look at who might succeed him. This was something no one expected. There were some clues to suggest maybe he was thinking about this for quite some time. But this caught not only the world off guard, but a billion plus catholics but even insiders in the vatican were caught flat footed. So eyes now on who could be next. Maybe between now and easter well find out. Preparing a legacy. The emotional interview with joe paternos widow in the wake of a scathing report about the sandusky coverage. How the family is fighting to clear his name. That was quite an emotional interview she had. She was there specifically to do one thing. She was there to clear his name. And there was a lot of emotion during that interview. Did you see the interview . I did. She was asked point plank, was there a coverup . She said absolutely not. She was there for one reason. Interesting it took her this long. It has been a while. Its been a year. And the latest installment in the saga that is rihanna and chris brown. How she might be taking the phrase stand by your man to a whole new level. Unconfirmed reports out there, but could be an Interesting Development in that relationship. Well get to that in the skinny. But first Important News and that is breaking news out of north korea. Defiantly acknowledging that it has successfully conducted another nuclear test. Just hours ago, seismic activity equivalent to a 4. 9 magnitude earthquake was defected in north korea near the site of two previous atomic tests. Pyongyang had been threatening to conduct the underground test for weeks saying the u. S. Was its prime target. And for the latest on this, we turn now to abcs akiko fujita. Shes live in tokyo for us this morning. Good morning. Reporter good morning, rob. Pyongyang conducted two Nuclear Tests before, but this is the first test under new leader kim jungun. Pyongyang state media says they used a miniature device. If true, it would mean that north korea is a step closer to its stated goal of creating a Nuclear Warhead small enough to be mounted on top of a longrange missile capable of reaching the u. S. South Koreas Defense Ministry says the bomb detonated by north korea yielded an explosion that was 6 to 7 kilotons. Thats a significant improvement over previous tests in 2006 and 2009. For some perspective, thats about 2 3 the size of the bomb dropped on hiroshima. News of this test immediately sent u. S. And south korea forces in the region on high alert. Here in japan, the Prime Minister convened an Emergency Security meeting. The key question, how big was the bomb detonated and did they use plutonium. Or highly enriched you main rum . North koreans claim it was a lighter atomic bomb, meaning a greater chance for this bomb to be weaponized. Analysts say if North Koreans were successful in build thing bomb out of highly enriched uranium, it would speed up pyongyangs ability to extend its arsenal in a relatively short amount of time. Rob and diana . Akiko, you mentioned that the u. N. Security council will hold an emergency meeting on all of this in the morning. So what exactly could they do . I assume it could be more sanctions . Reporter we could certainly expect more sanctions. Here in japan, weve heard from the japanese Prime Minister who is considering their own sanctions. But its important to keep in mind these sanctions have been placed on north korea before, but theyve conducted now three Nuclear Tests in direct defiance of those sanctions. So the question now is just how effective are they . Thank you so much from tokyo this morning. More provocation. Hard to believe. See how the world reacts later. Our other major story on this stunning news that came out yesterday, that Pope Benedict is resigning at the end of the month. At age 85, the pope says he does not have the strength to carry out his duties any longer. The surprising decision has farreaching imply faces for the millions of catholics around the world. Abcs Nick Schifrin reports from vatican city. Reporter good morning, rob. Good morning, diana. Pope benedict is a shy leader but a reminder of the man they used to call gods rottweiller. Unpredictability, unprecedented and it might just guarantee his legacy. At 85, hes silver haired and cerebral and says he simply cant keep up. Pope benedict xvi told his cardinals he had become so infirm, ive had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me. In the last year, benedict grew increasingly frail. He certainly slowed down a bit. You can tell he had trouble negotiating steps. He started using the cane several months ago. Reporter but the german pope never slowed down. Putting the church on an orthodox path. He opposed homosexuality and female priests. He tried to heal wounds, apologizing to victims of sexual abuse. But his church shielded accused priests and hid crimes from authorities. Theyve got to come to terms with the priest scandal. They have to be more candid and honest about it. Reporter he filled stadiums but he was always a bookworm, more comfortable writing. Many are now calling for a more dynamic pope. Thanks to the first papal retirement in six centuries, cardinals might be willing to choose a younger successor. The cardinals are going to have to weigh experience and the need for a certain level of energy. Reporter what looked like a divine sign, lightning hitting st. Pauls cathedral. Benedict wont choose his successor, but his handpicked cardinals will. Theyre expected to continue the conservative traditions of a man whose most important legacy as pope might have been his final act. Rob, diana . Abcs Nick Schifrin at the vatican for us this morning. Like so many other american catholics, new Yorks Cardinal Timothy Dolan said he was stunned by the resignation and looks to the future in a talk with abcs diane sawyer. The church is in the business of fundamental change internally. So when we speak about change in the church, yeah, there could be a change in style. Theres certainly always going to be a change of heart because conversion of heart is what were about. But there cant be a tampering with the changeless teachings of the church. Dolan said he laughed when they first heard reports of Pope Benedicts resignation because they said they heard the same thing so many times before. Of course, all of this has led to much speculation who might be the pontiffs successor. The top names being mentioned by experts are cardinal scola, 71 years old and from italy. Hes being called the frontrunner right now. Canadas Cardinal Mark olette is next in line, 68 years old. And the former archbishop of quebec. 64yearold Cardinal Peter turkson of ghana is also mentioned. And this is significant, since theres a growing catholic population in africa.

For the First Time Since the sex abuse scandal broke at penn state, the widow of joe paterno is offering an emotional defense of her late husband. Sue paterno says joes legacy was unfairly tarnished. She made those remarks in an exclusive interview with abcs katie couric. With more now, heres abcs karen travers. Reporter good morning. The paterno family is coming out swinging. No surprise. The report that they commissioned said the legendary football coach did not cover up the sexual abuse allegations. A year after he passed away, joe paternos family is fighting to clear his name. If he knew what he knew, if he knew in 2001 what he then learned in 2011, yes, he would do more. Anyone would. But we didnt have that benefit. Reporter paterno was fired during a latenight phone call after more than 45 years as the penn state head football coach. The University Said he covered up the allegations of sexual abuse against his longtime assistant and former player Jerry Sandusky. In an exclusive interview with abcs katie couric, the wife of the legendary coach recalled her reaction when she heard the charges against sandusky. Horror, disbelief. Its still hard to accept. Reporter penn state tapped former fbi director louie freeh to investigate who knew what and when about sanduskys dealings with young boys. His report said joe paterno covered the allegations against sandusky. But the paterno family came out swinging. Much was overlooked. Much was misrepresented in the report. Reporter so they launched their own investigation and concluded there was no evidence the coach hid the allegations against sandusky or ordered a coverup. We didnt have that mindset that he was doing anything more than teaching them, working out with them, and getting a shower. He worked out with them in the weight room. It had nothing to do with suspecting hes a pedophile. Reporter freeh says he stands by his conclusion that powerful people at penn state including joe paterno, failed to protect children. Rob and diana, back to you. Both reports potentially have conflicts. Do you believe the family, which obviously wants to protect the legacy of this legendary coach. Or do you believe the fbi, which was maybe eager to find scapegoats because this went on for so long. So many people could have known and did nothing. You know, joe paterno hasnt been charged. Joe paterno hasnt hes found guilty in a sense, but aside from his legacy being tarnished, they havent gone after him or his family that was associated with him specifically. Its the legacy, protecting that legacy. She did say even her own kids were allowed to be in the Swimming Pool with Jerry Sandusky. So if you allow your own kids, do you really believe she said do you really believe i thought he was a pedophile . Powerful point, powerful point. Coming up next, chris brown and rihanna engaged . We have that in the skinny. Stay tuned, everybody. World news now continues after this from our abc world news now continues after this from our abc stations. You know how ll was always licking his lips. You know what i mean . Skinny, so skinny skinny in the house do it again. Theres a thing that came up a few months ago, making fun of l. L. , because hes always licking his lips and he said the same thing again at the grammys on sunday night. So many thanks to the good folks over at jimmy kimmel, because they had this funny setup when they were comparing more, ll licking his lips more or using the word amazing during the bachelor. So take a look at this. For that song. And our show had to change. Thank you. Hes still going. Thank you so much. That wasnt even the whole show. That was like the first segment. Thank you, jimmy kimmel, for laying that all out. Ive been saying that for months. That ll just be licking way too much. Its ridiculous. Calm down. Thank you for somebody showing what i said a few months ago. That was funny stuff. That was great. That was wonderful. This is actually some serious oh, come on i dont even have any tissue to give you. Its ridiculous. You keep going. This is some sad news if its true. We dont know for sure, but apparently rihanna showed up to the grammys wearing what looked like an Engagement Ring on her finger. She was cozying up to chris brown. Rectangular shaped, beautiful diamond ring with a lot of small diamonds around it. Heres the problem. As we all remember back in 2009, chris brown was accused of and convicted of beating her, if we remember. Shes beautiful and very talented, but i feel like misguided is a good word. My thing is, ive made this point before. Their relationship is their business, but if something bad happens again, very little sympathy will be found. Thats all im saying. So proceed with caution. Justin bieber was snubbed this year at the grammys, was not asked to perform. So he tried to get around that by hosting his own live stream show, but the video crashed, so it never happened. He responded by uploading a new track that hes working on. And sent out these pictures of him showing off the chest and doing all this stuff. Bad boy biebs all of a sudden. All tatted up.
