that lady in giant sed di is ask yourself, you want to know about you and a party built on trust. >> respect and love. now is the time to choose america. you know where you'll find me. keeping his options open, president donald trump isn't taking reaction against north korea off the table. a family torn apart, cnn speaks to a korean family separated by the border, strickened with heartbreaking grief. >> deadly storms killed at least 12 and injured dozens across the u.s. south. now, millions of others are under threat as the severe weather rips north. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm george howell from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. newsroom starts right now.

good day to you, the u.s. president seems to be striking a curiously different tone toward the north korean leader kim jong un. in a new interview, he said that he's "a pretty smart cookie." the u.s. is open hoping for a democratic solution for the nuclear crisis, mr. trump is not ruling out military action, as well. >> he's been accused of brutal human rights violation. but will be to what the president said in a new interview about the north korean leader. >> people are saying, is he sane? i have no idea. a lot of people don't like when i say it, he was a young man of 26 or 27 when he took over from his father, when his father died. he's dealing with tough people, in particular, the general and others at a young age he was

able to presume water. a lot of people tried to take that power away whether it was his uncle or anybody else, and he was able to do it. but obviously he's a pretty smart cookie, we have a situation that we cannot let's what's been going on for a long period of years continue. >> meanwhile, the u.s. is reaffirming it will pay for an antimissile system in south korea as previously system. that system could cost around $1 billion. a few days ago, mr. trump suggested south korea should foot that bill. but, now he's national security adviser appears to be working back those comments, stay a listen. >> and that's not what it was, in fact, what i told our south korean counterparts, until any renegotiation, the deal is in place, but what the president has asked us to do is to look

across all of our alliances and to have appropriate burden-sharing responsibility and responsibility sharing. we're looking at that with our great ally, south korea, nato. >> cnn is following this story from across the region mckensie is in beijing. >> let's start with you, not only is the president appearing to praise north korean's leader, but these doubts of being raised about who will by for the antimissile defense system. what has been the reaction to all of this, seoul. >> the certainly being some concern when he said it should be south kree i can't have who said who should pay for it. we've had a critical statement from the defense ministry, again, this monday morning in a press conference defense ministry spokesman saying that

the deal has been done. they've been both shaped that this deal and it has been agreed upon. the fact that the south koreans would get the land. but the united states would pay for the operation costs, the personnel costs and that has been agreed upon, saying they don't believe that it can be renegotiated. we certainly see on social media, as well, people have been rejecting what president jump said. when you look at the recent polls, 50% said they support, but 40% said they did not. so it's certainly not an overwhelming response south korean even wanted in the country. certainly, they don't want to pay for it themselves. when you mention about almost praising kim jong un. he gave him credit for the fact he was able to take over the country at such a young age.

this is something of much -- one that has transferred to the presidency. >> president trump has invited the philippine president raising some eyebrows, given his reputation as a leader. what's the logic behind this reputation and what's been the reaction. >> the white house is given the logic as being the important for them to curve the missile ambition. you know, most -- when you pull an expert to follow this region. the philippines isn't the key player in anything to do with north korea. long-term it's important strategic ally of the u.s. it's come to a frosty period and president ted who at one point just months ago called the u.s. to go to hell and that's probably the mildest thing that they can say he said on

television. so, certainly, under president obama there was a war of words particularly going on the brutal crack down of drug uses and drug sellers in the fephilippines in which they say is a violation of the rights of people in that country. you've also seen the president getting a lot closer to china in that period, rarely stopping the objections, on many levels, of the philippines towards china's moves in the south china sea and calling on more chinese investments. in terms of regional affair, that's a threat to the spear of influence with the fill feens. that might be another reason that president trump is bringing or asking the president of the philippines to visit the white house. as you say, it's raising eyebrows with hue minnesoman ri

defenders. >> thanks to both of you. when talking about the north korean crisis, what often gets lost is the real people are caught in the middle. cnn is getting a glimpse of how it's divided by the border between the two. >> al ripen, the only western tv reporter in north korea. he brings us a story of a family after six years apart hopes to be reunited. seoul south korea, tens of thousands of defectors have fled south since the late 1990s. he's one of the rare few that's asked to go back. she came here thinking she could work for a while to pay money for medical treatment. and then go home, like all the factors, she lost her north korean passport and was made a

south korean citizen. her old home, just a 20-minute flight away, if you could fly. i'm taken to see the husband and her daughter. we sent a crew to south korea to speak with your wife and mom and she recorded a video message that she wanted. she wanted you to see.

i'm also taking the to meet her aging parents. her father is 75, her mother, 72. >> when you see her, i can't imagine what you're thinking. >> since she left, her mother has gone blind in one eye. she's losing sight in the other. she worries time is running out, that she'll never see or hold her daughter again. they can't call, they can't e-mail, they can't even write a letter. no way to communicate.

we let her husband and daughter use my phone to send a video message back to south korea. she tells her mother how she just graduated from catering school and now she's a chef. she hopes that someday her mother could take what a good cook she's become. she shows off their new apartment and moved in here after she left. no matter what's happening in the outside world, this is reality for this family and many others on the korean peninsula. so many families divided. >> heartbreaking situation for that family. earlier, he speak with reply, she asked if the north korean could punish this family. >> north korea said families are not punished. they've taken us to meet other families to show us their living

can bes are the same or even improved. that the company has come together to embrace when loved ones do fact. the number of reports, handling that banished from the -- sent out to labor camps and certainly if it's a government investigation would find they helped in someway for this to happen. we get mixed reports. we only know what we can observe on the ground here. but in the case of this, you know, she really started speaking very vocally in the media about this saying how muh she wanted to come back. she went to south korea because the medical care for the illness that she has was not available here in north korea. she went to china, could not afford to take care of china. she didn't realize once you

cross that border, they take your passport, you have to renounce your citizenship and you can never return. she planned she didn't know that until she was too late and now she's desperate. it's find the final way is so vocal about it from the north korean perspective, this plays into their government's narrative, that dedeckers are trick. her family has been in this nice modern new apartment here. you saw it in video, there it is. it's -- it's really comfortable home that they're letting in. the father still has his job. the daughter has, you know, graduated from catering school, now she's working, as well. the family is doing all right. we don't know if that's the case for all the families and, in fact, reports indicate that's quite the koun tray. >> the only western tv

journalist, you know, really bringing us the story, we coffer the tensions and politics all the time. taking us down to the focus of these families, the personal stories, that's every day life. >> based on that and you understand the situation. >> back here in the united states congress is now at a critical step closer towards getting the government of it and keeping it open until september. republican and democratic negotiators reached a bill. if it would improve it would ask billions of dollars. >> it would not provide any money for president trump's promised border wall with mexico. the house and senate are expected to vote on the plan this week. president trump says that obama care is dead, in his words and new health care plan is on its way. he's urging lawmaker it is to support it. he eat's saying they'll be upset

if they don't. >> it could hit the house floor as soon as this week. does athina covered. some will keep their coverage. >> another big week ahead, the white house is hoping the house can vote on this latest effort to repeal and replace obama care in the coming days, perhaps, as soon as this week. one big issue that's being discussed when his sticking point is his issue of pretising conditions, you have a lot that are making sure folks who have pre-existing conditions can get coverage that is affordable. this latest gop proposal to repeal and replace obama care does incover insurers, but it said they can charge them more than other folks on the plan, if at any point they allow their coverage to lapse. there are concerns about that and details, still being worked out. you have concerns among some

republicans and others outside of american hill who would try to influence, who weren't commenced whether it's high or -- that has been mentioned as a way to cover folks. we'll be able to coverage be affordable. will they be subsidized enough. >> on the state of the union, it was interesting to see a trump supporter, former pennsylvania senator, giving the president a bit of advice about how to approach legislation. >> the president has to be more engaged. there's one thing i'll give it, is he really needs to get his policy chops, you know, in line. he has to start understanding the details, particularly when it comes to health care and understand that unless he engages in the convincing number, iebl not going to resort that privacy.

here is why there's america set for america. >> i understand you to hear the senator saying that president trump needs to be more engaged on the policy froent. he also had some words for former fellow members of congress saying congress dropped the ball on this repeal and replace effort. he said the first time he put together a plan that wasn't hackable. my latest is now is this going to be a factor, in the senate which is a bigger uphill climb. back to you, guys. at least 12 people were killed as severe storms swept through west this weekend. four tornados touched down east of dallas, takes it, killing four people, one decide. >> dozens of people were inside this church when a tornado hit saturday.

that church was severely damaged, but thankfully, no one inside was hurt. let's get the latest on this deadly storm. where it's headed now. tell us about it. this was a reagreement situation. >> that footage was incredible, talking about one mile wide, or essentially 17 football fields across at one point, tracks 55 miles across this region. there goes the center of the spin, notice the strongest storms pushing off to areas of the eastern half of the united states. about 20 people in line. if you haven't increased the risk there, there are areas around philadelphia, washington, west of that region, the highest threat into cookie produce he's into the afternoon hours. we're going into the month of may, of course, this is the

biggest time of year, where you average 26 # 0 tornados in the month of may. this has been well above average. you're 50 to 100 tornados that you would expect. indicated the yellow, the red, the actual month of tornados reported this april. we're talking almost 600 versus 27 # 270. they're in just the cold season. we're going at the peek of it in the next for being there. flooding concerns we all had rooms, you've got as much as 8 to 10 inches. how about this, 7 or 10 river date is being flet man. gooding is just as that late, more deadly in spots. i'm watching that as we, tonight, across the midwest. >> thank you for keeping an eye on that, appreciate it. >> the troops are on patrol.

integral part of the u.s. strategy in syria and remain a major point of contingent for the turkish president who is set to meet with president trump. is it possible for these two leaders to form an even close r alliance, given their differences? >> we'll have to wait and see, george. things are not very clear when it comes to policies with this new administration. there are a number of key issues on the table for them to discuss. the issue of the syrian kurds. it's going to be a critical part of this new u.s. administration's relationship with turkey. the ypg has been key, the most reliable partner for the united states on the ground in syria when it comes to the fight against isis described auz one of the most capable fighting

forces there on the ground. but, you know, under the obama administration, the policy has always been to fully back the ypg and to arm the group and another pus ally, of course, turkey was not happy about that. for turkey they see the ypg as a terrorist organization. they see it as, because of it's affiliations with the pkk, the turkish, kurdish workers that turkey has been battling since the 1980s. they see the ypg, as turkey describes it, as the syrian branch of the pkk. so it's a very complex situation there on the ground, of course. we'll have to wait and see how the united states is going to deal with this issue, of course, it really needs the ypg, right now. as they're making these steady games towards the city of de

facto isis capitol with that looming battle to recapture. the main concern, whatever we're seeing this brewing conflict between turkey and the ypg concern is it doesn't disrupt that battle to restructure. >> 9:25 in the morning, following the story from the region live. thank you for the reporting. we'll stay in touch with you. this is "cnn newsroom." still ahead, the u.s. president donald trump trump is moving beyond 100 days in office, we'll find out if the president's job is living up to his expectations. >> it's no secret. president trump doesn't like the media very much. now, he's chief of staff is talking about changing rules that could make it easier to sue news organizations. we'll make it harder to stay a home, thank you. new hydra genius daily liquid care.

welcome back to our viewers here around the united states and around the world. it's good to have you with us, i'm george howell. >> i'm rosemary church. let's update you now on the top stories we've been watching this hour. erdogan is raising control about u.s. patrols. it began after the air strikes killed kurdish fighters who bowed the chief and senators. at least 12 people are dead after a violent storms. let's look at that tornado there. four people were killed and

dozens others injured when at least four tornados touched down. >> u.s. presidential credit gives north korea in a new interview, he said kim jong un is pretty smart cookie for taking over power. he's been accused of brutal human rights, i thought i was -- joining me now to talk more about this, he's a profes sore of history and public affairs at princeton university and new american fellow. thank you so much for being with us. let's start with comments made by president trump over the weekend about mill traer action still being a response to north korea. mr. trump also country's leader, a pretty smart cookie for holding on to power after taking over at a very young age. what do you make of those

comments? given one's human rights. >> i didn't think about this is that he is trying to have a little diplomacy through saying some words of praise at the same time he's acting tough with threats, military strikes and action. that's the powerful way to see it, there is no plan. this is the president who is all over the place and sometimes making comments about controversial leaders who have human rights violations and other kind of abuses and not really thinking through the implications of doing that. we don't know who he is. but these are comments that are scatter shot. that's how he's conducting this diplomacy. >> interesting. we are still getting contradictory comments from mr. trump's team. his national security adviser said the united states would stick to its agreement with south korea for the fad

antimissile defense system, but suggested paying for it could be renegotiated. that's not exactly what president trump said. and there are concerns tlur no issues of it's created. how might this be resolved, you think. >> this is a problem because one of the best allies that we've had in this situation is south korea. and so there can't be any signs of weakening that relationship because that in itself could involve under north korea or to take more mig tear actions in the coming months. i think that needs to be clarified. it's not a place where you can send mixed signals because they could have disastrous consequences. we'll see in the next few days, the administration starts to clarify what its positions are and to take certain comments he's made, meaning president

trump off the table zbh will feel pressure to make different story. what did you make of the news, the trump adeids. what do you think of behind that decision and, of course, the timing of it. >> this is and the public to clean out some of the more controversial parts of the administration, as the add mip strags, at least, tri -- admini presents more of a stream. he's been for his connections to antise mettic organizations. in some ways, this is a little bit like steven bannon being pushed a bit to the side, as others become more of the face of this administration. >> all right. julian, many thanks to you for your analysis. we appreciate it, always. >> thank you.

>>. with his first 100 days behind him, president trump is giving himself high marks. very least, he's certainly been busy, mock among other things he's signed war executive orders that any other president since harry true man in 1945. in a recent interview, mr. trump reflected on the magnitude of the job. take a look. >> i'll say it's a tough job, but i've had a lot of tough jobs. i've had things that were tougher, although, i'll let you know this better at the end of eight years, perhaps eight years, but i'll let you know later on. >> a constant theme of the trump white house has been what it's called the unfairness for the media for the president. >> chief of staff says the administration has looked into the possibility of taking labor laws that will make it easier to serve news organizations. >> i think it it's something

that we looked at and how that gets executed or whether it goes anywhere is a different story. when you have articles out there that have no basis or fact and we're sitting here on 24/7 cable companies writing stories about constant contacts with russia and all of these other matters. >> do you think the president has been sued -- >> here is the thing, i think that newspapers and news agencies need to be more responsible with how they report the news. i am so tired -- >> i don't think anybody would disagree with that. whether or not the president has the right to sue them. >> i have already answered the question. changing the laws would not be easy, they variy from state to state and weakening press freedoms will provide a constitutional amendment. the white house is extending stunning invitation by trump. he invieded philippines president to washington. the leader has spearheaded a

crack down on drugs in his country. >> he's suggested that he's been a cannibal once more. critics say he carried out human rights abuse. but the white house says to tear it and being helpful. let's now bring in john, he's the advocacy director for human rights, watched. it's good to have you with us, john. this came as quite a surprise to many people in washington. the president and of the united states inviting to washington. what are your thoughts. >> inviting somebody who is says they have killed people with his wrong hands and promoting a murderous war on drugs, is not embracing of human rights principles, very disturbing what the white house has done here. they're basically sending a

message they believe the illegitimate violence is more important than human rights law. >> looking back at the previous administration. what are the differences is how the obama administration interacted with the philippines, versus this new invitation from president trump. >> well, he's only been president -- he's only been president for more than a year. president obama was hands off with him. he recognized that this was a man who had a very serious human rights record and was not -- this was not the kind of person you invite to the white house. you went out to deal with him on asia issues as it came up. but it will never be the trump person to be invieded to the white house. i think all of that republicans and democrats in the house agree with that. they don't really see this person as the kind of person the united states should be doing business with. invite him to the white house and simply is amazing, most

people in the united states, congress, allow standard on both sides of the aisle are very disturbed by what happened today and will probably be making their concerns known to the white house. >> but to give some context here, the president saying, obviously, that given the tensions in north korea, this is an effort to just reaffirm alliances in the asia pacific region to reach out. your thoughts geciven what's happening on the korean peninsula. >> human rights watch has worked on north korean. and we support any effort to sideline and isolate that regime. but let's be honest, the philippines is not a key player in that battle. china is and some countries, have been flaunt and nonproliferation on sanctions to bomb north korea, should be dealt with, not just china, but

countries like malaysia, countries which have been too friendly with north korea, by all means reach out and deal with them. but don't invite them to the white house. but don't reach out to the philippines either because ate es's not an important country. they're with their the chair on the committee. the commissioner who dealing with north korea, it's not worth the price to invite him all the way to washington simply for his support. >> this invitation, certainly getting push back for people who see it differently. john, thank you so much for your insight. >> thank you. >> we'll take a short break here on "cnn newsroom." venezuelaen president has raised the minimum wage for the 15th time, trying to ease the country's economic crisis. the move will actually help his people. plus flight attendants
