The breaking news, tonight the White Housenow say that North Korealaunching one of their ballistic missile quoted could be imminent. Also, Pyongyang and Washingtonwere talking secretly just days before they showdown began. A.L. is in South Koreamonitoring those developments as well as a sharp threat from the North today.Kim, the possible ballistic missile test what do we know about?

Well, we know that is all eyes on the eastcoast of North Korea wherethe launch could be as you say imminent according to South Korea presidential office.They expected of highest likelihood is right now. The morning hours of April10th that it is April 10th here in Asia. Soeveryone is watching to see if the missile launch is going to be happening, inthese early hours at anytime right now. And something that we could mention Anderson is that this isunusual twisted. South Korea'sFishery and Ocean's department seems very random to mention this, but thisdepartment is usually notified by North Korea if there is going to bea missile launch. In this case, they weren't notified. This is different andthis is significant. It tells us that Kim Jong-un is sending a message. He ischanging the world game. He is not his daddy, he is thereby Anderson, more uNPRedictable and thereby moredangerous.

What do we know about this potential missiletest? What kind of missile? Where would it be fired toward? What kinds of stepshave been taken in the region to prepare for?

Well, the assumption at this point is thatit's going to be intermediate rock test launch and that the assumption again.These are all assumption because we simply don't know North Korea isproving to be so uNPRedictable this month. The assumption is probably gonnahead out to the water, but no one takes any chances. If you go to Airbase in South Korea right now as we did, at the oldsound airbase we saw U.S.patrol missile batteries pointed right up to the sky they are pointing toNorth. U.S. bases have beentargeted, they have been told by North Korea that you are target sothey are preparation on the ground to make sure that nothing falls on them.

We see North Korea issue warning to diplomats to leave embassies in North Korea.Now today the foreigners in South  Korea how seriously that have been taken.

It's taken seriously and then notseriously. Seriously because foreigners are used to be targeted by Pyongyang. This issomething a little more weird than the usual noise and how we hear out of thenoise. They specifically pointed out foreigners in South Korea should leave, theyshould evacuate. That's a big more extreme what we heard normally out of theNorth. So people here, I spoke with one American woman, she is doing businesshere in South Korea.She says she has to change his routine, but she did check with U.S. embassy her very first time, Anderson. There is anelevated level of concern, but no alarm.

Now a lot have been made obviously aboutthe lack of different channels between U.S.and North Korea.We are finding out tonight they were actually direct communications between thetwo countries last month. What do you know about that?

We know is that these regular back channelmeetings. In a meeting, that I had with U.S.officials we know that this is something that's normal on these back channelmeetings, but they are secret, because United States does not have relations direct normal relationswith Pyongyang.But in this meeting, any did happen prior to all these escalation in thisregion. There was a meeting. The United States saying we want to trya move. We are off to a diplomatic road. But message certainly is not being appreciatedby Pyongyang if the message was delivered atall, because we are where we are, Anderson.
