   The roundtable to talk about north korea is right here. As they take their seats, take a look at martha raddatz on the north korean border with american commander james thurman. An unpredictable and inexperienced dictator. What do you think the likelihood is that kim jong-un will act against south korea ? I don't think we know his true intentions. Because he's kind of reckless right now. If they decided to resume hostilities, I

I don't think they want to respond. I think they're trying to talk south koreans out of responding if one of those missiles is launched and falls in the water. The biggest fear of the united states right now is that south korea will respond in some way, that they'll be provoked to respond. Won't south korea have to try to shoot it down? Not if it goes in the water. That's a perfectly good strategy for kim jong-un, he can say it was just going in the water. We were testing missiles. South korea responded to that without any danger coming their way. They would be the ones accused. The best outcome would be a failure of north korea . David, you have a piece coming out in the "new york times" how the u.S. Can calibrate their response, there's a plan

Reporter: Today's declaration by north korea that it's at war with the south -- Reporter: -- Had the white house and pentagon trying to bring tensions down a notch. I think you'd know if we were in a state of war with north korea . We believe that this is part of their overheated rhetoric, and it's something that we think they should avoid. Reporter: The talk of war comes two days after the u.S. Flew in b-2 stealth bombers as part of a joint training exercise with south korea . The message was clear. We have a range of options that we've worked with the south koreans to counter their provocations and threats. Obviously we hope never to have to put those plans into effect. Reporter: Little is known about the 30-year-old north korean leader, kim jong-un, who rose to power a year ago following his father's death. He now finds himself in a power struggle with south korea's first female leader. She too faces equal pressure to be tough. Mr. Kim appears to be more of an extrovert than his dad, however, under his father's watch, four south koreans were killed and 19 injured after a shelling incident launched by the north in 2010, or will he be more like the grandfather he resembles, known for his sabre rattling

   welcome to an ABC news Yahoo! News special answering children's questions about North Korea . Who want to know from our youngest citizens what they think what they fear. And what they're curious about when they hear or read the news about North Korea the threats against America and the talk of war. Got a great group of students here from seventh graders to seniors in high school. They are Smart they are engaged they have been standing -- been talking about this in their classrooms and in their homes they've got a great panel of experts to answer their questions. As well ABC's chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz. Bob Woodruff who's in -- right now has also been in North Korea several times. Ross -- joined by general James Cartwright a retired four star general who served forty years in the Marines was also vice chairman. Of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and living here in the studio Donald Gregg for various ambassadors have create current chairman. Of the Korea society thanks to all of you. For joining us and -- I just wanna begin. We -- we've been in this standoff now for more than a week at least a week expecting some kind of a nuclear test from North Korea but it hasn't happened yet. And I -- wonder what's the latest thinking from US officials on whether the north is still going to test a missile and when it might happen. Well I I think we've been saying when it might happen for weeks now George and I think everybody expected that that was going to happen it would happen. Yesterday our time on the East Coast and that they. The anniversary of the birthday of the founder of North Korea . It didn't happen I think they really did think it was imminent yesterday. Now I think they are looking at what he's

   to show that he's he's standing up to the United States and South Korea . But others there's our thinking it might be rethinking that position. It is such a mystery because he is a brand new leaders -- -- go to the kids now psychologically -- I apologize for that but I know even looking at this in the west the first question. That. -- -- So China's. North Korea's . Only real ally and trading partner. What do you think China can do this kind of -- a lower the tensions in the rain and for and to Pyongyang. Massacre -- his perfect question for you I think. We have more in common with the Chinese in Chinese right now than most people think. Neither -- you know the Chinese want North Korea to become a full fledged nuclear power for the influence that would have particularly in Japan. Neither of us want to see any kind of fighting on the Korean Peninsula . And neither of us want to see a regime change that could create an awful lot of instability in North Korea . I think secretary Kerry. Had a very interest in visit to China and I think he came back with a feeling that we in the Chinese. Perhaps have more in common and an ability to work more closely together than we have in the past. Process -- here. -- to continue what he said about Thad Allen to know why just China disciplined North Korea so much. Bob Woodruff you didn't need to China several times North -- several times as well you want to take a crack at that answer. Other multiple reasons of course one minutes it's an ally that went long ago to. War the Korean War from 51 -- 53 so they've been together ever since it's also the most important one maybe for China is that. North Korea has been a buffer state between south South Korea where the United States is is is positions with 28000. Troops right here. That also they just don't want the fall apart they don't want -- this to have a huge effect on its economy in its population in China that. They are afraid to some degree that if if North Korea does. Have a disaster and falls apart that the people poured over the border. End to China so given all that they want to stay the way it is. In most ways that makes them friends -- they close friends who don't who dollars and and certainly North Korea though is. Is really not obeying China as much. As it did.

US has already condemned the attack it's the worst in years and Russia warns that colossal danger that's a quote. Must be avoided the latest on that breaking news a border skirmish between north and South Korea neither side is backing down. And our team is covering this from Washington let's Begin another senior foreign affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz Martha. Good morning George South Korea has raised its military alert to crisis status. The highest possible non wartime alert status and it is no wonder this is one of the most serious shelling incident since the Korean War. North Korea -- dozens of artillery shells of the island. Leaving sixty to seventy homes on fire at least two South Korean Marines dead and many more injured. Residents were fleeing in panic South Korea returned fire. This island is near the border -- houses about a thousand South Korean Marines but there also more than 15100. Civilians living there most of those fisherman. South Korea was conducting annual military exercises in the area and test firing weapons but North Korea was aware of those exercises as you said. Russian foreign minister this morning is saying this incident carries colossal danger and must be solved by diplomatic means China is urging the same. Tensions very high this morning George. OK Martha thinks this could Jake Tapper at the White House is Robin said Jake the president. Awoken at 3:55 AM by his national security advisor. That's right Tom -- on the national security advisor. Call the president to wake him up given. The latest on what with the situation in the Korean Peninsula . President Obama will hear more about this during the presidential daily briefing at 915. This morning this is a very serious situation as Martha said especially coming off reports this weekend as you mentioned before on this show.

Has made before right now president Obama's expected to call South Korean president Lee and talk to him and in addition.

To world leaders about that uranium enrichment facility this has been added to the agenda they're going to see just what other world leaders.

   crisis in -- Rio where tensions are high following that North Korean artillery attack on an island in the south. With the death hole up to four the Obama administration is trying to figure out. How to respond to be unpredictable and increasing aggressive dictators in North Korea without sparking a wider war. Alex Marquardt reports from in -- Today the scope of the damage as seen from the air. The aftermath of a hail of artillery that killed not only South Korean Marines but two civilians as well. An attack that one eyewitness called a sea of fire hundreds -- fleeing their island homes. All day Korean coastguard boats have been coming into the end so important bringing evacuees from the young -- islands. -- -- here in Seoul with friends and family until it's safe to go home. South Korea is at its highest alert level below all out war and has promised enormous retaliation if further provoked. The north has threatened merciless strikes. South Korean TV has featured nonstop coverage of Telecom Haniyeh young -- told -- that it devastated young -- on the island. US navy ships including the aircraft carrier George Washington are heading to the Yellow Sea for joint military exercises with South Korea . A deployment that could prompt more hostilities from Kim Jong -- the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff expressed concern on the view. It's -- worrisome leadership in North Korean Army is very unpredictable guy. Very dangerous guy that North Korea describe to buy a former US official as the land of lousy options has diplomats searching tonight to find the least lousy option possible Alex Marquardt ABC news -- and South Korea . And for more -- what that option might be moving our chief foreign affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz Martha -- is one step the administration. Has taken is his joint training exercise with South Korea but they're even tempering that. They are now they're sending the aircraft carrier -- the administration says this is a show of force and demonstration of solidarity with South Korea . But this was a pre planned exercise and if you look on a map where the exercise will take place. You can see it is hundreds of miles from the border between north and South Korea . And the island that was attacked in fact it's about the same distance -- San Francisco is from Los Angeles so I doubt North Korea will feel threatened by the presence. But you never know it or whether they're not expecting another North Korean attack right now correct what they're not the US sees no evidence of that right now the military is not on alert satellite -- no buildup to war. But if there is another attack things could get very dangerous as senior US official told me today. South Korea has shown tremendous restraint but we're pretty confident that if North Korea does something else. South Korea would respond massively. They would probably put airplanes in the air. And strike a variety of targets the officials said the South
