Tensions are escalating between all parties over North Korea, with the United States revealing its controversial missile blocking system will be operational within days.
As the North Korea standoff escalated, President Donald Trump invited all 100 members of the Senate to a meeting with the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and national intelligence officials.
In an unusual move, the senators were taken by bus to the White House for the briefing.

Its foreign ministry describes attempts to make North Korea give up nuclear weapons through military threats and sanctions "a wild dream" and like sweeping the sea with a broom.
