we'll check that out on this wednesday, august 9th. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> you were saying? >> i was saying that we were smiling in every one of those photos. >> we must be happy. >> we must be happy. >> something tells me there's more to the science behind that. >> either that or the hennessey's kicking in at that point when we are taking our selfies. i don't know. we'll break it down. >> we'll break down the breaking news that is happening now. it didn't take north korea very long. a bold new threat just hours after president trump delivered an explosive warning. >> the president vowed to respond to further threats from north korea with fire and fury. the north promptly shot back, threatening a missile strike against guam. the u.s. territory houses thousands of american forces. we have team coverage starting with abc's martha raddatz. >> reporter: it is the most fiery, overtly military threat president trump has ever launched at north korea, a chilling warning in response to kim jong un's threats to the u.s. >> north korea best not make anymore threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. he has been very threatening. beyond a normal statement. and, as i said, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly, power. the likes of which this world has never seen before. >> reporter: this dramatic escalation of rhetoric all the more alarming, given the latest extraordinary intelligence assessments of north korea's nuclear capabilities. first reported in the "washington post" and confirmed by abc news, u.s. intelligence analysts believe the north can now produce a miniaturized nuclear warhead that can fit inside its missiles, including its intercontinental ballistic missiles. kim jong un's claim that he was standing next to such a nuclear device last march was met with some skepticism. but this latest intelligence assessment says he has indeed produced that device. >> this is the most momentous day in his nuclear program. >> reporter: just two weeks ago he tested an icbm into space going higher and farther than before. but analysts say if the trajectory was lowered, it could potentially reach the east coast of the united states, including new york and washington, d.c. >> there's still two pieces of the puzzle left. one is he has to show that he's able to have that nuclear warhead survive the heat of re-entry and the second is he has to accurately target it. >> reporter: it is without question the greatest challenge president trump now faces. and the president's tough new >> fire, fury and frankly, power. >> reporter: come as americans are worried about the north korean threat, according to polls just days after the u.n. enacted strong sanctions. a cbs news poll found 61% of americans are uneasy about president trump's handling of north korea. u.s. intelligence analysts also now believe that north korea has 60 nuclear weapons, a far greater number than they once thought. martha raddatz, washington. and senator mccain was critical of donald trump's threats saying he overstates things. >> he conducted a radio interview in arizona where he is undergoing chemotherapy treatment. he suggested the president's response could have been worse, but he advised that great leaders don't make threats unless they're ready to act. >> i take exception to the president's comments, because you got to be sure that you can do what you say you're going to do. >> well, experts say north korea believes that having a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the united states would be the ultimate guarantee against invasion. >> for more on kim jong un's latest nuclear advances and how the u.s. would protect itself, let's bring in abc's arlette saenz. she covers the white house for us. arlette, how worried do we need to be right now? >> the intelligence community's assessment that north korea's successfully miniaturized a nuclear weapon marks the biggest advance in the regime's nuclear capability. now the biggest question is how can the u.s. stop a nuclear warhead from hitting the country. north korea's production of a nuclear warhead atop of a missile is another sign the regime's nuclear program is moving faster than predicted. intelligence analysts have determined a north korean missile could reach at least the west coast. but may be capable of going as far as new york and washington, d.c. one option to interrupt a missile heading towards the u.s., something called a ground-based intercepter. the u.s. currently has 36 of these in place at bases in alaska, california. if u.s. radars were able to detect a missile launch by kim jong un, missiles could be fired off into space and collide with the nuclear warhead. it's essentially like a bullet hitting a bullet. and it would stop a north korean missile from striking the u.s. back in may, the u.s. successfully intercepted an intercontinental ballistic missile during a test of a ground-base intercept system in california. those ground-base intercepters have a bit of a mixed track record. the success rate for tests is about 50% but it's still one of the military's best options. >> what about the diplomatic options? how are they looking and how do they mesh with trump's comments? >> this is going to be a tricky line for the transparency and the trump administration to walk. you had nikki haley who was championing a victory when she got russia and china to sign on to those u.n. sanctions. the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson saying that the u.s. could be open to talks with north korea. so the president's comments are complicating a bit of that diplomatic messaging, but we always know that he wants to keep that military option on the table. >> and curious to know whether or not they knew the president would say those comments that he did yesterday and many calling it a red line indeed. if you weren't scared enough, please, now, insert the editors of the new york daily news. >> you can always rely on them. >> this is the front page this morning. armageddon. >> it is scary but creative. >> i like the fire effect in the middle. of kim jong un and the president there. >> hopefully not a foreshadowing of what's to come. arlette, thank you so much. we appreciate the analysis. and we have more breaking news to get to. a frantic search for survivors is under way in southwest china after a powerful earthquake. >> at least 13 people are dead and nearly 200 injured. several tourists are actually among the victims, the 6.5 quake hit near a popular national park known for water falls. the quake knocked out power and telephone lines. earlier this morning another quake rattling china, the 6.3 quake hit near kazakhstan. no word on damages or casualties. back here at home, severe storms are triggering flash flood watch the. watches across the south. a line of storms stretches more than 1700 miles, from texas to the chesapeake bay area. pushing east this morning. torrential rain dumped up to 8 inches of rain which has fallen in the houston region, triggering flash flooding and water rescues. and warnings have been issued for parts of mexico. the tropical storm franklin has passed over the yucatan peninsula. it could strengthen into a hurricane before it makes a second land fall early tomorrow morning. and back here in the states, the intense manhunt for the suspect in the murder of a missouri police officer is now over. ian mccarthy was taken into custody a few hours ago, charged with first degree murder in the death of officer gary michael. they exchanged gunfire in what started as a traffic stop on sunday. mccarthy was captured after he was seen walking down a highway. >> the city's been on edge. this county's been on edge, not knowing where this individual was. so, you know, this gives them a sense of relief, an ability to get what, get back to some sense of normalcy. >> normalcy. well, mccarthy is be being treated for a gunshot wound and is in stable condition. the suspect has been on the run for four years. he's wanted in new hampshire for a 2013 assault case. officer michael had just been on the police force for a year. rookie police officer down. all right, you want to look around the office today and check for any missing co-workers with unexplained absences. >> ah, yes. so the numbers from two massive lottery jackpots are now out. $350 million megamillions drawing took place overnight. you see the numbers there, 11, 17, 50, 52, 74, and the megaball is 14. but no big winner. so friday's drawing is $382 million. >> ooh. >> oh! >> there are four tickets out there worth $1 million. >> tonight, it's a $307 million powerball drawing. that jackpot has been growing since june when a $447 million ticket was sold in california. jack! >> yes! >> how's it lookin' for you?
