We start on the diplomatic fallout from North Korea's recent announcement that it will conduct a third nuclear test....
Pyongyang's threat dominated talks at a annual meeting of South Korea, the U.S. and Japan in Tokyo this week.All three
countries warned North Korea would face severe consequences if it goes ahead with the test.
Choi You-sun has more.
In a rare joint statement, deputy defense ministers from South Korea, the U.S. and Japan urged North Korea to call off
plans for a third nuclear test.
"If North Korea conducts an additional provocation, including a nuclear test, it should take full responsibility for the
consequences it may face for disregarding the international community's resolution."
The three countries said they believe that all that's needed now for the nuclear test to go forward is a green light from
the leadership in Pyongyang.
"The three parties together believe Pyongyang will most likely conduct the nuclear test."
The countries also addressed concerns about the North's ballistic missile program, which it said threatens peace and
stability on the Korean Peninsula and beyond, and agreed to work in coordination with China and Russia to prevent
further provocations by Pyongyang.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff has elevated the security posture at military bases near the inter-Korean border, and,
as the New York Times reported Thursday, the U.S. has deployed reconnaissance planes carrying nuclear detection
devices to its base in Okinawa, Japan.
China on Thursday heightened its pressure on the North to refrain from any activity that would prevent the
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
If the Kim Jong-un regime does carry out the highly-anticipated test, the U.S. and its allies are expected to push for a
much stronger resolution and sanctions against the country to further cut North Korea off from financial resources it uses
for its nuclear and missile development.
