:04:27. > :04:30.further, alarming, do you think? Certainly, it is part of the
:04:31. > :04:35.progression of North Korea improving its capabilities. It is showing,
:04:36. > :04:41.evermore, it is able to reach the United States and therefore
:04:42. > :04:45.believing it has a deterrent capability to prevent the United
:04:46. > :04:52.States, as it believes, from perhaps conducting some sort of a regime
:04:53. > :04:57.change operation. Is the US in him and in danger? I don't think so.
:04:58. > :05:06.What you have going on is deterrent on both sides. We have, for years,
:05:07. > :05:12.been in the goal of trying to deter North Korea of a Korean War style
:05:13. > :05:18.event. That has been successful for over 60 years. I am expecting that
:05:19. > :05:22.will be continue to be successful. In return, North Korea is trying to
:05:23. > :05:25.deter others. So we have deterrence going from both sides of the
:05:26. > :05:31.strategic equation and the key will be to be able to maintain some sort
:05:32. > :05:38.of strategic stability, in spite of these changes. We heard in that
:05:39. > :05:45.report, the US is about to scale up its military deployments, are we
:05:46. > :05:50.about to see some confrontation? Know I don't. I think we will see
:05:51. > :05:55.continued posturing on both sides. The United States, is likely to, it
:05:56. > :06:00.in conjunction with South Korea, conduct a number of things. Efforts
:06:01. > :06:04.to pass another Security Council resolution. We will see how the
:06:05. > :06:09.Chinese and the Russians respond. We will see some of these efforts to
:06:10. > :06:19.bring other strategic assets to the region to reinforce the alliance,

:06:40. > :06:41.could defend itself. It has been a fast-paced week in
:06:42. > :06:58.Washington. The latest high profile departure
:06:59. > :07:00.from Donald Trump's administration is the President's,
:07:01. > :07:02.now former, chief of He was the subject of
:07:03. > :07:06.a tirade of abuse last week from the new White House
:07:07. > :07:07.communications director. Mr Priebus, whose tenure
:07:08. > :07:12.was the shortest of any White House Chief of Staff in modern
:07:13. > :07:15.US history, has been replaced by John Kelly, a former General,
:07:16. > :07:17.who President Trump praised for his work as head
:07:18. > :07:19.of Homeland Security. Done an incredible job thus far,
:07:20. > :07:24.respected by everybody. Our Washington Correspondent Laura
:07:25. > :07:35.Bicker gave us reaction Well, the Republican
:07:36. > :07:48.party has been praising Reince Priebus, who is,
:07:49. > :07:51.in effect, one of their own. That could be part of the reason why
:07:52. > :08:00.Donald Trump never seemed Remember, he was appointed Chief
:08:01. > :08:04.of staff because he was part He also knew how those levers
:08:05. > :08:08.in Washington should work. But as the six months wore on,
:08:09. > :08:11.Donald Trump has reportedly described him as weak and also said
:08:12. > :08:13.he questioned his loyalty. And now he has turned to someone
:08:14. > :08:16.outside of the political sphere. He is looking to someone outside
:08:17. > :08:19.of the swamp, as he called it. He is an marine general,
:08:20. > :08:27.4-star general, who could impose some kind of perhaps military
:08:28. > :08:30.discipline on a rather He is also seen as having done
:08:31. > :08:37.a remarkable job as head So how he'll do in the West Wing,
:08:38. > :08:42.we'll have to wait and see. And what we are seeing
:08:43. > :08:48.is a Republican party and a White House who seemed to be
:08:49. > :08:51.distancing themselves Yes, and the other defeat this week
:08:52. > :08:57.was of course over health care and Donald Trump has been
:08:58. > :08:59.tweeting over that. What impact do you think
:09:00. > :09:03.that might have? Well, the defeat of health care
:09:04. > :09:06.is something all Americans I have travelled the length
:09:07. > :09:11.and breadth of this country and it's And that is because for those
:09:12. > :09:18.who rely on the free health care they now get under President Obama's
:09:19. > :09:21.reforms, without it, they don't know how they'll cope,
:09:22. > :09:24.they don't know how they'll And for those who are middle
:09:25. > :09:27.class, middle income, hard-working families,
:09:28. > :09:29.feel their premiums have shot up And that is one of the reasons why
:09:30. > :09:37.Donald Trump is trying to get this done, but his frustration is clear
:09:38. > :09:39.because there are political And this morning on Twitter,
:09:40. > :09:44.he's blaming those political systems and blaming the Republicans
:09:45. > :09:46.for defecting, rather So the effect of distancing himself
:09:47. > :09:53.from the Republican party could be a good one for the president,
:09:54. > :09:56.because he then can blame the party for his problems,
:09:57. > :10:08.rather than his own presidency. Nawaz Sharif, has named his brother
:10:09. > :10:13.as his ultimate successor. Mr Sharif, who was forced to resign
:10:14. > :10:15.over corruption allegations, has appointed a caretaker leader

:10:25. > :10:35.criticised by the opposition, Rain poured down as the ruling party
:10:36. > :10:41.gathered to choose a new leader. Many in Pakistan hope yesterday's
:10:42. > :10:45.Supreme Court ruling that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was unfit to
:10:46. > :10:51.hold office, would begin a cleansing of corruption within the political
:10:52. > :10:56.class. The disgraced former Prime Minister
:10:57. > :11:03.today denied any wrongdoing, before introducing the new leader. His
:11:04. > :11:07.brother, Shahbas Sharif. An interim Prime Minister will hold the fort

:11:13. > :11:15.keeping the party leadership and therefore the Prime Minister ship
:11:16. > :11:22.Pakistan within the same family, would be controversial. But the only
:11:23. > :11:28.rally anywhere near the Pakistani capital today, was of supporters of
:11:29. > :11:34.the ruling party. Whatever reservations Pakistanis may have
:11:35. > :11:38.about power staying within this family, the fact is, under Nawaz
:11:39. > :11:39.Sharif, the country has prospered. Terror attacks are down and the

:21:47. > :21:50.of the qualification for the World Cup in 2006, but got two draws. It
:21:51. > :21:55.was an away draw that put us through. We were close back in
