Hello and welcome to One Hundred Days Plus. | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
The White House pushes back against reports that President Trump | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
released damaging classified intelligence to the Russians. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
But some American allies now wonder whether it's safe to share | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
sensitive information with this administration. | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
The White House sends its national security advisor out | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
to defend the President - his message, Mr Trump did not | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
It is wholly appropriate for the president to share whatever | :00:33. | :00:44. | |
information he thinks is necessary to ensure the security of the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
American people. That is what he did. | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
Our fight is against Isis, as General McMaster said - | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
and I know he feels that we had a great meeting. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
But senior Republicans join Democrats in criticising | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
the President with questions about credibility, | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
I think we could do with the little less drama from the White House on a | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
lot of things. on some of the world's | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
most notorious strongmen. And one of them is today | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
a guest at the White House. President Erdogan of Turkey, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
who is not altogether happy the US And, news that Ford might soon be | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
shedding 200,000 jobs? We'll tell you why the car company | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
may be hitting a speed bump. Hello, I am Katty Kay in Washington, | :01:24. | :01:37. | |
Christian Fraser is in London. Are reports that Donald Trump gave | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
classified intelligence to Russian officials a storm in a tea cup | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
or a major breach of The administration | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
says it's the former. Critics say this marks a serious | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
violation of an ally's confidence. The White House is not | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
denying the information concerning Islamic State was given | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
to Russia, it just says it was no big deal - | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
in fact, "wholly appropriate" is how the national security advisor | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
described it a short time ago. HR McMaster said a report | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
in the Washington Post accusing the President of giving away | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
intelligence was not accurate. I stand by my statement I said | :02:11. | :02:26. | |
yesterday. The premise of that article was false, that in any way | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
the president had the conversation that was an appropriate resulted in | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
a lapse of national security. The real issue and what I would like to | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
see debated more, is that our national-security has been put at | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
risk by those violating confidentiality. | :02:43. | :02:43. | |
And in the past hour this is what President Trump had | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
to say about his meeting with the Russians. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
We had a very successful meeting with the Foreign Minister of Russia. | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
Our fighters against Isis, as HR McMaster said, I know he is said and | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
he feels that we had a great meeting with the Foreign Minister, so we are | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
going to have a lot of great success over the coming years and we want to | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
get as many to help fight terrorism as possible. | :03:12. | :03:12. | |
Let's go to Jane O'Brien who is at the White House for us. | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
To clarify, is the White House saying that everything in the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Washington Post report is false or not quite that clear? You tell me. | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
It is as clear as mud because certainly last night the White House | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
was saying the story is false and today they are saying the | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
conversation was appropriate in the context in which it was hard, so | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
does that mean President Trump giveaway classified information are | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
not? Again, General McMaster couldn't clarify that because he | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
couldn't say what information was classified or not and that is a | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
matter of policy and he wouldn't divulge it. So we are still no clear | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
as to the context of content of what was said. Certainly the White House | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
is saying that it was appropriate and didn't jeopardise | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
national-security and the focus from the White House as it so often is is | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
on the leaks, and how did the media and the Washington Post get to hear | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
about any of this? Was that actually appropriate to sheer intelligence | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
that had been provided by a third country? With the CIA deem it | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
appropriate when the commander-in-chief seems to have | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
been sloop orally briefed on the sensitivity of that information that | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
he casually dropped it into conversation. | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
This afternoon one European official warned that his country might soon | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
stop sharing classified information with the US for fear | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
Maybe an indication of the damage that has been caused. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Also joining us now is Former CIA counter terrorism | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Thanks for joining us. Let's take a step back. Explain to us what cold | :04:51. | :05:03. | |
water classified intelligence is and who has access to it. One of the | :05:04. | :05:12. | |
things that people has in the classified work is our top secret | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
security clearance, but codeword is to do with specific things that are | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
happening. When I was working counterterrorism in Iraq I had | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
codeword access to a variety of special platforms but I wouldn't | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
have other access to the North Korean nuclear programme codeword | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
information, because I had no reason to have it, so this is a way the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
United States and most of the intelligence community around the | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
world compartmentalised as information, so one person can never | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
know anything apart from the folks at the top, the president and | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
national security adviser and others. The point is that this would | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
be information he would maybe not even sure what his own cabinet but | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
which he saw fit to share with the Russians? And that is the | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
interesting thing. If you have information, and one of the other | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
things is that it is a originator controlled, so we had this | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
understanding across the US government but also with allies | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
across the world, that if someone gives us information we will protect | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
it not provided to other countries unless the originating country | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
actually provides the assurance that we can do so. The New York Times | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
about 20 minutes ago just said it was Israel that provided this | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
original information, so it is going to be rather interesting that Donald | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
Trump is going to Israel in the coming days when they will see why | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
did you share this information with the Russians? Israel is specifically | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
concerned about providing information to Moscow because what | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
Moscow was doing in Syria is cooperating with the Syrian | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
government and the Iranians, who are obviously very predisposed towards | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
belligerence, towards the Israelis, so it is a huge mess these people | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
are try to figure out in the next weeks. You have been listening and | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
that has been reported by NBC as well, that it was the Israelis. You | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
have listened to HR McMaster unseen everything that has come out of the | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
White House in the last 24 hours. What is your bottom line take on | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
this? How damaging was the intelligence that was given by | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
President Trump to the Russians and how damaging is it potentially to | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
intelligence relationships with allies? Intelligence is a team sport | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
and even though the United States has global reach and the Burmese | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
military and we spend lots of money, we need our allies, and if our | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
allies cannot depend on the United States to maintain its secrets we | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
have a real problem. Maybe the next time somebody has the crown jewels | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
of information, they may not be so helpful in future. The United States | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
occupies a central role in the intelligence world, especially | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
fighting Isis and Al-Qaeda, but on other peripheral issues, people may | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
have second thoughts and that is the major problem we are going to see in | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
the months and years ahead. So, just to be clear, not so much the actual | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
specific intelligence that might have been revealed that meeting that | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
could cause problems for the White House, it is the damage this could | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
do to allies and getting intelligence from them in the | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
future? What we don't know if the actual contents of the intelligence | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
provided to the Russians. Only Donald Trump and the Russians really | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
know what they were talking about. It is really what we can do in the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
future. This time it is about Isis, maybe next time it is Russia or | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Eastern Europe on North Korea, and in a set of braggadocio the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
president may be talking about extremely sensitive things that | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
another country has given us in confidence, and that is something | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
the United States has to be very careful about providing to other | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
people. One of the things HR McMaster said was that he didn't | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
know where the information really came from. That is concerning as | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
well. As the president doesn't know where the sources of information | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
coming from, weird and hot water. I was going to ask you very question. | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
The difficulty the NSA had was that President Trump had mentioned this | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
off the cuff and he didn't seem to know, an even clearer which is more | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
serious, how sensitive this information was. One theory put | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
forward is that the president likes everything condensed, he doesn't | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
like these reams of documents, he likes things in bullet form and in | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
charts, and maybe that is the problem. He picked out this nugget | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
of information without realising what the source was. One of the | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
things you realise information that you have to know your sources and | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
where it comes from and to the information received and what is the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
damage of this was provided to other places. Everybody in the | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
intelligence community knows you cannot give it intelligence | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
willy-nilly and if you don't know your sources, and something as | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
extremely sensitive as a potential plot in the Middle East given to us | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
by another country, if the information is the equivalent of | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
what you read in a blog and you can differentiate between the two, we | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
have a real problem in the White House and in our intelligence | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
community, and other countries that rely on the United States, and we | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
rely on them, are going to be very troubled by this event. Senior | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
figures today talking about whether the president is doing his homework | :10:50. | :10:50. | |
fully enough. If senior Republicans were wary | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
of speaking out in the wake of James Comey's dismissal, | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
no such concerns this time. The head of the Senate Foreign | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
Relations Committee, Bob Corker, a Trump supporter said | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
the allegations were troubling. Very troubling, in fact, and | :11:00. | :11:14. | |
obviously they are enabling or spiral right now. He went on to say | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
they have to come to grips with all that is happening. | :11:19. | :11:18. | |
Joining me in the studio is Susan Page - the Washington | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
politics for a long time and you covered Donald Trump's campaign and | :11:22. | :11:31. | |
administration. Does this incident of sharing intelligence with the | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Russians seem different somehow do you? The past week seems different | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
because firstly at the firing of the FBI director James call me at least | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
in part because he was the leader of the investigation. And now we have | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
the disclosure of what seems like loose talk with Russian officials by | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
the president. There raw two things that General McMaster said, that | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
were quite amazing. One was that the president wasn't aware of the | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
sources and methods of misinformation and that he made the | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
decision to disclose it on the fly. There had not been a careful process | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
that this would be a useful thing to do, so both those incidents, raises | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
questions about whether the president act on impulse and that | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
that causes him great controversy. I do think his situation now is more | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
troubling than it has been in his first 100 days. I was struck last | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
night as this news broke by how quickly Republicans came and | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
criticised. We saw Bob Corker and John McCain, who has been a critic | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
before, but we also saw Paul Ryan. You had senior Republicans, can see | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
it was concerning. Democrats are already inflamed about Donald Trump | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
but for Republicans, you now see them publicly criticising him. We | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
had a local Republican member of Congress for the Virginia suburbs | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
put out a briefing -- request asking for a briefing from the intelligence | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
committees so that they knew at least as much as the Russians! That | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
is quite the statement from somebody who is from the president was my own | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
party and who will face a tough the election bid as will many other | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
Republicans. You see them starting to put some light between themselves | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
and the president. This could cause problems for the president with his | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
own party. I was just wondering whether Leon | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Panetta, talking about this earlier today, that there are very few | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
people in the Oval Office right now who will speak truth to power and | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
say, Mr President, you cannot just say or tweet what you want because | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
it demeans the office and it demeans you. We know that the President's | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
advisers, some of them have told him to stop treating. This is causing | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
problems for him. We have seen that his own supporters say to stop | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
tweeting and they don't think it is helpful. It is one thing we thought | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
General Webmaster would be willing to do in a way that General Flynn | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
was not. We have after the filing of James Comey that there might be a | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
staff shake-up and they would try to do things differently. What do you | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
think will be the result in the White House of this incident? There | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
was continuing top today are the big shake-up coming. The problem is that | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
the president, it has not been his staffers but his own tweets, so I'm | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
not sure about changing the secretary or his strategist is going | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
to make a difference in terms of how the White House operates. It | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
revolves around the President's own conduct. One thing that is | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
interesting that to hearing from allies of the United States is that | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
they had been concerned about the foreign policy team and foreign | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
policy in general. There is no more stabilisation and they think there's | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
a good team in place with HR McMaster, but there are increasing | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
concerns about the President's character, and whether this White | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
House is just too impetuous and I think that gets to the issue of | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
whether there is competency in the White House, and what Bob Corker was | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
seeing, they have to get better at dealing with this kind of crisis. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
The issue of bringing the president into line, you wonder whether some | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
put this stuff out there hoping they've is huge blow back and that | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
makes shock into changing his ways. Credibility is hard-won and easily | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
lost. What we saw today, and we didn't get it with the filing of the | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
FBI director last week, but senior Republicans now coming out and | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
talking about his competence as a president. Those are a few | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
Republicans, and I will push back a little bit on how broad that | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
criticism of competency is. Susan raised it and you have voices are | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
raising now, but you also have people saying, you have affected | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
people in there, a national security adviser under Defence Secretary is | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
good, they think the Secretary of State is good, and the question of | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
the president instead he knowingly give information to the Russians | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
that was sensitive, or did he not knowingly give information to the | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Russians that was sensitive, and which would be worse two that seems | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
to be the question. That has been a lot happening today. | :16:46. | :16:46. | |
President Trump is under scrutiny because of Russia - | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
but his affection for Turkey's increasingly autocratic leader | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Recep Tayyip Erdogan was at the White House today | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
for what Mr Trump described as a strong and solid discussion. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
Turkey is of course a critical alliance for the Americans. | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
But while many Europeans are alarmed at the way Mr Erdogan is behaving, | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Mr Trump recently described him as "a great guy." | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
So what can the White House get in exchange get for its favourable | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
We're joined now by Soner Cagaptay - he's the director of | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
and author of "the New Sultan: Erdogan and the Crisis of Modern | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Use of President Erdogan getting the red carpet treatment and I imagine | :17:23. | :17:41. | |
that is the image she wants beamed back into Turkey to show he is being | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
rehabilitated in the West after the referendum? That is correct. Erdogan | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
has just won with a very narrow margin of victory a referendum that | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
makes an style president, but it was a narrow margin of victory and were | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
large-scale irregularities. They may or may not have been large enough to | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
flip the outcome, but he wants to dismiss those allegations and move | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
forward. The first thing he did after the referendum was to call it | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
to Western leaders to recognise the result. Turkey has had elections | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
fair and square since 1950, so if he is calling for this affirmation that | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
is like a Freudian slip, one thing that affirmation to come from | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
President Trump, and he got exactly that. He was already 50% happy at | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
being invited year saw it was bound to be a good meeting because he got | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
what he wanted. The sticky issue is the Syrian Kurds that the Americans | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
are looking to get involved and tacky is against this. Would you see | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
them going on this? The regional factions, President Erdogan is | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
looking the other way as the United States works with them to take Raqqa | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
from Isis. They will look the other way as they move against Isis | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
stronghold in arrack and to me it seems this is the deal struck today | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
at the White House going forward. We will see this with the liberation of | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Raqqa with Turkish assistance, and support against factions in arrack | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
will come after that especially after Mosul is liberated. They have | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
promised assistance to Turkey against criminal fundraising | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
networks in Europe, so in this regard party has received strong | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
report regarding the PKK presence in return for giving Washington the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
green light and promising not to be a spoiler regarding US plans to take | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
Isis. Although you imagine this is a particularly good day to get a deal | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
with Donald Trump because under so much pressure? That is correct. He | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
probably has other things going on in the back of his mind. He arrived | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
in Washington on the day the US President's mind is preoccupied with | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
the major domestic crisis, and I think Erdogan therefore probably was | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
unlucky in the strep and maybe got a sympathetic ear regarding other | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
issues raised. This is a moment that will help them take Kentucky's | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
secular democratic system. Once they took it down and they both wanted | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
the country to themselves and what ensued was a real power struggle, so | :20:46. | :20:57. | |
they have become -- if he found a sympathetic ear from President Trump | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
in this regard, in the sense that he listens to his concerns, that will | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
also make Erdogan happy going forward. Thank you for being with | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
us. Last week, Henry Kissinger was brought into the White House to | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
school, probably a good work, Donald Trump on what he needs to do going | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
to the Middle East next week. In mind of what has been going on in | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
the last 24 hours, a lot of people will be rather nervous about what he | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
will be speaking about in these meetings? | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
As was pointed out, he will have Israel on his agenda when he goes on | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
this trip as well, and if these reports are right that this | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
intelligence that was given to the Russians came from Israel, that will | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
be one tricky conversation. Nato still want the assurance Donald | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
Trump is fully committed to article five. Members of the G-7 confused | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
about what this administration's policies are around the world, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
National is a more protectionism, they will want the assurance to. | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
This is the message I keep wanting from diplomats in Washington, that | :22:08. | :22:09. | |
they don't really know what they are dealing with. What is said one day | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
can be countermanded the next day, when one person speaks are speaking | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
for the President or not? That is causing a lot of concern among | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
American allies. We have to deal with the White House but they have | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
to figure out exactly how to go about that process. Is that trip | :22:28. | :22:28. | |
will be fascinating because of that. Donald Trump hasn't been the only | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
one under fire for his alleged A photo in the Washington post - | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
revealed something that perhaps It's a photo of the president | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
and that's his bodyguard Keith Schiller - who's carrying | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
a stack of papers. Attached to the top | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
is a yellow sticky note - which clearly says "Jim, | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Mad Dog, Mattis", along with the defence secretary - | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
Jim Mattis' mobile phone number. Here's the thing. So mad is this | :22:51. | :23:04. | |
news cycle that the Washington Post didn't even know they had printed | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
that until a reader said, I have spotted this phone number. So the | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
pool. The picture and said, are, yes! They called it and got his | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
voice mail. The two things to say, Keith Schiller, the President's | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
bodyguard, is employing the sticky note to hide very sensitive | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
information like this mobile phone number, and the other thing is that | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
even when they are jotted down on yellow post notes, the actually | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
refer to him as Mad Dog, he is Mad Dog even to his colleagues! I | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
thought it was as that refer to him as that but even in the White House | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
years Mad Dog. That is how do we always referred to | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
you, Christian cool presenter Fraser! That is a lie! There are | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
other names are not repeatable on here. | :24:01. | :24:01. | |

ballistic missile test - and warned of further sanctions. | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
North Korea says the missile it tested successfully on Sunday | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
was a new type of mid to long range rocket, capable of carrying | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
But he 15 member security council, that includes North Korea's closest | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
ally China, has demanded that Pyongnang put a stop to the tests. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
