Offer to let states ask permission from the government to allow insurers to charge sick people more money, to keep costs lower for healthier people.

Reporter so far he said nothing on his show about the growing controversy of off screen allegations of Sexual Harassment. But tonight is advertisers are speaking with their wallets, bmw, Mitsubishi Motors and drug maker Glaxo Smithkline are pulling their ads from the Oreilly Factor.

His show is the number one program on cable news, pulling in more than 100 million a year in ad revenue. More than 350 brands advertised on the show in the first three months of this year. Today, companies wait to change their plans to see what if any changes fox and oreilly make. Anne thompson, nbc news new york. As we said at the top of the broadcast, breaking news in south korea, word north korea fired and unidentified projectile into the sea. A new provocation coming a short time after the white house said the clock has now run out and all options are on the table. All of it follows more tough talk from north korea calling joint u. S. South Korean Military exercises a dress rehearsal for invasion. We tagged along for some of those exercises and found american and south korean officers confident as they planned to counter one of the more persistent threats this region faces. Reporter the war being waged in this corner of south korea today wont draw a drop of blood. Americans and south korean troops engage in mock urban combat less than 15 miles from the dmz, and running through the playbook of a potential war that has haunted this peninsula far too long. We think we could see everything from conventional total war here and also experience civilian operations after victory, whether attack in urban strong point. Reporter as if on cue, the colonel was interrupted by a rescue chopper swooping in to pluck mock casualties from a rooftop. The americans and South Koreans are taking part in an annual joint exercise kim jongun has long decried as a provocation but what was seen on this side as a deterrent. Still, the status quo that has gingerly maintained peace is threatened as kim jong un rushes towards a Nuclear Weapon capability. It raises the question what about seoul and its suspected north korea would reign down thousands of artillery rounds on this sprawling metropolis, but wont go unpunished. This is a robust response not only american but south korean troops working handinhand. Reporter the u. S. War plan is to quickly overwhelm and knock out the norths artillery threat. Mobile radar units like this will track the incoming rounds from their source even before they land. You cant shoot what you cant see . Exactly. Reporter this allows you to see whats coming down and coming at you . Yes, sir. Reporter the eyes of a sophisticated response. You can track the 50 incoming rounds simultaneously . Yes, sir. Reporter thats a lot. Yes, sir. Reporter they passed a crew of mobile rocket system is the fangs of the response who quickly aim and fire right back at the source. This is a very important drill for us to go over and rehearse as many times in different scenarios as possible. Reporter this is what it would look like in action for real. The fact that troops train within a few miles where they would fight is not lost on them. Reporter how has it changed the soldiers . Theyve driven out there, done communications checks from there and made sure they have all the visibility they need and gives us a sense of purpose. Reporter like the airmen at the air base american soldiers in south korea are hoping their preparation and readiness will give north korea pause. Still head, your internet browsing history, up for sale, the repeal that makes it legal without your permission and what to do if you fear for your privacy. President trump has signed a new law that rolls back internet privacy rules passed in the obama administration. No longer will Internet Providers be required to get your permission before selling your internet browsing history to marketers. Will your internet surfing really be fair game . Reporter the last time you shopped online for a pair of shoes, did the ads follow you for days or even weeks . Your Internet Provider knows far more about your browsing habits than google, facebook or amazon. Now, that provider can legally sell that information without your permission. Privacy advocates are so outraged, Adam Mcelhaney has raised over 200,000 on a go fund me page for members of congress who passed the law. It sends a signal people are very upset their data is not theirs anymore. Reporter its unlikely Internet Companies would sell personal browsing histories because theyre still required to protect customer privacy presumably names, addresses and Social Security numbers. Only anonymous browsing information could be sold but privacy experts warn that may not be enough. Somebody with a sophisticated algorithm program could find out who you are by the breads crumbs on the internet. Reporter they say theyre committed to protecting customer privacy because we value your trust. If youre still concerned, Security Experts suggest limit your web browsing to https sites. The s stands for secure. Call your Internet Provider and opt out of targeted marketing. If youre really concerned, pay for a vpn, Virtual Private Network that puts your web surfing in a bubble, but vpns can also disable some sites like video streaming. The bottom line, for the most part, people have to trust the Internet Providers are keeping their internet promises. Back in a moment with an internet mega merger. Could it mean having to change your email address . Two big stories in the Business World tell you about. Verizon has decided to combine aol and yahoo under one new Company Called oath. If you have an aol or yahoo email account theyre not expected to change. Payless shoe source has filed for bankruptcy protection deciding to close 400 stores as it struggles to compete with online stores. Celebrations tonight in the carolinas.

Thae yong ho is the deputy ambassador to the uk when he defected with his young wife and sons. We met on the crowded streets of seoul flanked by security agencies whose identities we agreed to mask and talked about the airport assassination of kim jonguns halfbrother and expectation he could be next. Were out in public right now. Are you afraid for your safety at this moment . At this moment i dont think so because, you know, there are, you know, many security inch the officers around me. But anything can happen, you know. You see, even the halfbrother of north korean believe kim jongnam was assassinated. A public place like the airport. How did you react to that . At the time i heard the story i was not surprised at all. Do you think kim jongun ordered his death . Definitely, yes. Do you think he wants your death . Yes. You think he wants to kill you . Yes. Kim jongun is a man with the character that anything no matter whether it is a country or human being, you know, should be eliminated if a country or human being pose a kind of threat to him. In the united states, we would say youre a marked man. Im sure im already a marked man. A short while later, away from the crowds, thae talked about the horrible price of his betrayal. Your decision would also impact people you love. You have a brother and a sister still in north korea. What is your expectation as to what has happened to them . I cannot definitely say to which place my family members were sent, but one thing i am sure is that they may have been sent to either to remote areas or labor camps or to some, worst scenario, they were sent to political prison camps. All their houses by now were confiscated by the regime. Is that hard for you to live with . Oh, yes, you know. So far i cannot get rid of this kind of nightmare every night. Thae has called in his words for the elimination of kim jongun and holds out hope some day being reunited with his family still inside of north korea. That will do it for us on this tuesday night from the air base in south korea. Im lester holt. Ill see you back in the u. S. Tomorrow night. For all of us, thanks for watching and good night.
