In South Korea we have our own Greg how -- he's in Seoul South Korea. And we also have Major Garrett he is traveling with the president in Prague we start this morning. With Greg pal -- in South Korea with the very latest Greg what he tells."

" a they might not have sent a satellite into space but they certainly made a statement. North Korea launching today a multi stage missile. This is the tape -- Dong two missile took off at 1130. Local time from North Korea. The first stage falling off to the west of Japan. The second stage falling off to the east to Japan and that is where the story divergence. North Korea says it then sent a satellite into orbit and right now it is -- patriotic song. But Norad that's the North American aerospace command is saying that. No object entered into -- no matter the reaction has been the same here in South Korea a very good example of the reaction there were hearing from around the world. The government here saying the reaction was a reckless that it was a threat to peace because North Korea it is belief system an arsenal of at least half a dozen nuclear weapons they could soon be turned into warheads and they could soon be traveling as we've seen today. Thousands of miles so while today guys was a mixed technically it could be seen in Pyongyang as a success politically it certainly has gotten the attention of President Obama. And the international community and it might help. Domestically might help Kim Jong Il's political credentials as well back to you."

" Well good morning guys great how come my colleague just said the stories -- as to whether or not the satellite made it into outer space a little -- here in Prague the White House believes Norad considers at all just went to space junk in the ocean now. The White House says that doesn't make this act any less provocative any less a violation of the 2006. Security Council resolution specifically targeting North Korea against behavior like this. In the future. The president began his day here in Prague with a military greeting -- Prague castle.

As a part of that speech the president took note this act of provocation he called -- by the North Korean government it was not a surprise here in -- with the US government had been preparing for this. For quite some time. And there is a concerted effort by the Obama White House not to allow this North Korea maneuvered overshadow the president's trip here to do it to view of the US -- European Union summit or his major speech. On ending. Nuclear weapons globally but here's what the president said about what North Korea did today let's take a quick let's."

" Yes indeed the US will go to the Security Council this afternoon secretary of state Hillary Clinton and the US ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice -- working that right now but already the Chinese Government has said perhaps. There's an overreaction among South Korea Japan the United States saying all three of these members of the United Nations should look at the broader picture it is unclear if China will support any effort -- the Security Council to further punish. The north Koreans expect -- New York that complicates matters thank you very much major we'll -- this dog story all morning of."
