It made me slightly sick to my stomach it I gotta tell yet. My heart goes out to these children they have lost parents who obviously loved them well Rivera said that.

the day what's the bottom line the bottom line is that when North Korea is involved in negotiations. It's better behaved and we have less problems than when it's not in negotiations when it's outside the negotiations. That's when it starts throwing stones and nuclear test missile tests and the like when they have been engaged in negotiations actually. Are often productive they froze their reactor for a decade that during that decade they were not producing new nuclear material for nuclear weapons so. I think it's for the good frankly I think that's where we're going mrs. all atmospherics. For what I think it's probably a done deal which is expected north Koreans will return to the six party talks and that there will be direct US and between negotiations in parallel with that of course now we're dealing with the aftermath of this conflict between North Korea and South Korea -- what do you make what do you make of that. Well you know it could've been an accident but I sorted -- you know you wanna fight the tendency to always assume a master plan. But in this case I think it probably was deliberate. If it is deliberate when you should think of it as just another sort of thing that North Korea does often on the eve of negotiations. It will do something to try to create a crisis thinking that gives it leverage at the barking. Table. And I think if that's what they're trying to do -- our best response is not to overreact. But the state steady. And pursue our golf our goals -- nuclear free peninsula and stability in northeast Asia and I think we should just keep focused on that cannot be distracted by. The fireworks and is it your sense that South Korea will be equally measured in its actions. I think so I mean North Korea South Korean relations. I haven't been great -- last year or so but it's not the only unit that's been that particular we've had other incidents back in 1999. And in 2002. There -- naval incidents in which there were exchanges of gunfire and then a year after those exchanges. Suddenly you start to have agreements and progress toward some sort of stable outcome so. That's the that's what North Korea does that it creates a crisis on the eve of going into some sort negotiation that's the case here. Then ironically this

High alert on the Korean Peninsula today and it could have direct effects here in the United States. It's a complicated situation no doubt would try to break it down forty starting with a skirmishes C yesterday. That's when the North Korean and South Korean ships met up near a disputed maritime border that's west of the two countries. Both each side accused the other crossing the border. South Korea reports that its navy killed one North Korean sailor and nearly destroyed the north shift. Now the south says it's ready to respond to any provocation from the north. A few hours later we learned the Obama administration has decided to send Stephen Bosworth to North Korea as a special envoy. -- job there convince the leaders to return to six party negotiations. On North Korea's nuclear program. In other words talk the north Koreans in the talking. North Korea has been in and out of those negotiations for years now on it's been a two steps forward one step back situation

more later on the same day Monday. Off the east coast of North Korea and then they'd declared a no sales zone to warn ships to stay out of their for the next few days so we don't know. More coming are not based on the date they sit through this no sales zone. But we do another short range missiles these are not capable of going very far. Nowhere nears for instance of Hawaiian Islands or any American territory they are huge concern for the South Koreans . These 75 mile range missiles could easily reached the capital of South Korea's Seoul. And so that very much a huge concern for the South Koreans . But we're not getting any independent confirmation that these missiles were launched one military official in South Korea said he's not terribly concerned because they. Do this fairly frequently although it has been since last July when they fired from long range missiles actually middle range missiles. Intermediate range missiles in July a whole series of those this is the first time since then joked that seems like there of test shots are always tied to the calendar on world events in some way what if what you know about the timing of these particular want. Yeah we don't really know what's in their minds we -- we do know this is kind of odd because the North Korea has suggested just last week they suggested they might be willing once again to join those six party talks. To try to clear up the nuclear question there nuclear program their nuclear ambitions. And so it's a rather odd day secretary of state Hillary Clinton is traveling overseas she's in Europe in NORTHERN IRELAND she said. But this doesn't change our goals at all no matter what Kim Jong Il has in mind we're going to continue she says on this same territory trying. To achieve a nuclear free Korean Peninsula and the Russians for their part expressed bewilderment. They said they don't know why at this point when North Korea mentioning might be willing to join these talks again. That they'd be doing this and South Korea as I said not terribly concerned because they know you you never know what's gonna happen with the north. -- crazy uncle

we know they're working together on their missile and probably on there nuclear weapons programs. So I look at every one of these missile launches is one more step in the progress North Korea and Iran are making and and why we need to be concerned about both of them what do you think the administration should do right now the Obama administration about this. Well I think with respect to North Korea . Stepping up the pressure remains the thing to do we've got the proliferation security initiative from the Bush Administration. The Obama administration has resumed pressuring North Korea financially that's a positive step. Forward we need to do war with China China has unique leverage over North Korea either to change that regime were to change their behavior we have not done that sufficiently. -- the Chinese and Chinese acting in good faith as far as you can tell. I think they're acting schizophrenic -- I I also I take them at their word they don't want North Korea with nuclear weapons but they're not doing what they need to do. To turn that around and and the fact is as long as North Korea has those weapons Japan South Korea may be others have an incentive to get into ours our are. How concerned ultimately should -- office. Well I think we should be very concerned not just because of North Korea's threat in northeast Asia although there's plenty -- reason to be concerned there and the longer term possibility of reaching the United States. North Korea is a major threat in the Middle East as well because of its cooperation with Iran Syria and others. That's where the

But we begin with a Fox News alert North Korea continues to defy international opposition firing seven scud type missiles. -- source inside South Korea tells Fox News the missiles launched today. Our old style scuds they have no nuclear capability but they do have a range of about 310 miles that could hit various targets in the south. Both Japan and South Korea have labeled the launches as provocative. The US State Department is urging the North Korean regime not to aggravate tensions in the region calling the missile launches quote. Not helpful perhaps an understatement. When it comes to foreign affairs few people can claim the expertise of my next guest John Bolton is the former US ambassador to the United Nations and he joins me now. Quick question -- the north Koreans upped to does anybody have any idea here.

of concern but the bigger concern is of course whether or not North Korea can mount a long range missile strike what do we know about that.
