hard questions on maui. how did this wildfire start? how did it grow so fast? destroy lives all with so little warning? now a top official in charge of the response to that crisis has quit even as he stands up for how his agency handled the disaster. plus a historic hurricane. hilary is now a huge category four storm. it could be the first storm of its kind to hit california in some 84 years. some areas could get a year's worth of rain in just one day. and justice deferred. donald trump's legal team trying to push one trial years into the future. while the former president backtracks his plans to hold an explosive news conference monday. we're following these developing stories and more right here all coming in to cnn news central.

the origin and the response to the deadly maui wildfires are both under growing scrutiny. just a couple of hours, residents of the devastated town of lahaina are set to hold a news conference to address how officials responded to the disaster. it comes after maui's emergency management chief, herman endaya resigned, one day after defending the decision not to activate the island's warning sirens in the midst of this. we're also learning the atf is joining the investigation of how the wildfires started. cnn's bill weir is on maui and joins us now. first to the lahaina community members, their news conference here. there's growing frustration both with the lead up to this, lack of warning, and the response to

it. can you explain that frustration? >> reporter: as you can imagine, your neighbors have lost homes and family members, and there is no one in uniforms, days for weeks afterwards. all these relief pods are completely diy, and you set up by folks, life guards and bartenders have taken care of each other in these communities right now. there's frustrations about everything from the air, which is toxic and blowing around. they need dust fences to protect that, to water, which can't be consumed or even boiled in parts of lahaina. there are pets, hundreds of pets that survived and now are sort of going hungry inside that area. they're demanding to get in there to take care of their an malls. a woman lost her home and business and articulates it well. listen. >> the whole island of maui has come together to help each

other. i think everyone is a little bit let down at the lack of response from our government. people have rallied together far more than any government has so far. our wal-marts and targets are emptied because all of our people here in maui have gone to buy brand new supplies for all of us who have lost stuff. if it wasn't for them and these donation centers that fema and red cross have not set up or our personal donations, we do have gofundmes and venmos set up personally. i wouldn't have food on my table. >> reporter: and there you go, just a little sample of the frustration, jim. >> so help us understand that. i look at this -- first of all clearly the world's eyes are on this. they know what happened there. by the way, you're not far from one of the largest military enable installations in the world with an enormous amount of resources. you've got the coast guard. why? why aren't there people in

uniform there, uniform of any kind, right, helping out? >> reporter: exactly. that's the question. that's the question. nine days after a major event anywhere in the world we've covered these, you see humvees and choppers, pretty much everywhere. they have increased some personnel especially around the fires and some relief areas, but not nearly what we've seen. and then as a result of all of this frustration, you have maui's emergency chief, herman andaya who stepped down citing health reasons, but of course this came after a midweek press conference where he defended the decision not to sound the alarm systems on maui, saying it would drive people uphill. but even hawaii's own emergency management website says the all-hazard sirens is used for a variety of natural and human caused events including tsunamis, flooding, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, terrorist threats, hazardous materials.

so if anything, going forward, there will be a new attention paid to these alarm systems, what they mean, what people should do when they respond to it right now. but you hear a lot of residents saying it insults our intelligence to say as mr. andaya said, if they sounded the alarm, people would run uphill thinking it was a tsunami to get them out of their home realizing that ash and smoke and embers are getting around and you should get away from the fire that could have probably saved lives. >> and speaking to the official there yesterday, talking about kids who may have been home alone in the midst of all of this because the schools were closed. bill weir, it's got to be hard to see all of this firsthand, so thanks for being there with us and helping us tell those stories. for more information about how you can help hawaii wildfire victims, please go to cnn.com/impact. lots of great options there. or text hawaii to 707070.

that's 707070 to donate. and now to the rare west coast hurricane, a category 4 hurricane named hilary. its winds are now lashing mexico. the u.s. will feel that storm soon. it could dump more than a year's worth of rain on three states, california, nevada, and arizona starting this week including areas that don't normally get anywhere near this amount of rain. cnn meteorologist chad myers is in the weather center. chad, not a typical place you see these kinds of storms come through? >> no. >> national hurricane center issued its first ever tropical storm watch for california? what's happening and when will it all start? >> reporter: well, we hope some of the rain, and i know this seems weird, but let me just explain myself. we hope some of the rain will start tomorrow afternoon because we don't want wind without a damp surface to blow across. we don't want to experience what just happened in lahaina with a wind event before the actual rain starts. so we're kind of watching these

arms, these outer bands try to feed up past cabo. eventually by tomorrow afternoon likely into southern california. there it is, the tropical storm watch, the first ever for california period. there are hurricane warnings to the south because there will be hurricane conditions there. but here is the deal with this storm. it is going to die rather quickly because it's going to go from 88-degree water to 68-degree water, and hurricanes don't like anything below about 82. so when we get into this colder water, we know the storm is going to die off. it isn't going to be a hurricane. there could be some gusts, but it isn't going to be a true hurricane when it gets up towards california. it's going to rapidly deintensify because there's your water and there is your water. try to swim in the pacific ocean off california without a wet suit or go surfing. it's not very fun. it's very, very cold. but we do have the real threat of how much rainfall could come down. some spots, jim, could pick up between 7 to 10 inches of

rainfall. nowhere, especially the hills around southern california, can take that kind of rain without really having some bad outcomes. >> yeah, it seems like every day we're talking about a never-before event or a worst-ever event. and i suppose we will keep on doing the same. chad myers in the weather center. thanks so much. boris? turning now to georgia, where lawyers for donald trump are engaged in talks with the fulton county district attorney about the details of trump's surrender on rico charges. that is expected to go down next week. but cnn has learned the secret service has been on site for several weeks already prepping for a high-profile surrender. let's discuss with cnn's sara murray and jennifer rogers. sarah, first to you, tell us about this secret service presence? >> my colleague, ryan young, has been reporting secret service has been around the fulton county jail for the last couple of weeks. this is as jail officials, the secret service, and the city of atlanta trying to get on the same page about how a trump

surrender would look at the fulton county jail. obviously if you're the secret service, you don't want to be ushering the former president in there for the first time without having gotten the lay of the land and understanding what he will be going through the different rooms of the jail where he may be interacting with other people and how to keep him separate from the general jail population, which of course, we expect to have happen. again, this is what we would expect, the secret service is not going to want to show up there blind with the former president of the united states. >> absolutely. jennifer, to you, the deadline for trump and his co-defendants to turn themselves in is a week from today, at noon. are you surprised no one has surrendered yet? >> not really. i mean it's not a very pleasant thing to go show up and, you know, do the formal arrest and have the charges formally lodged against you. so i'm not surprised. they'll probably start trickling in at some point next week and through the week with the last of them showing up on friday as well. >> and i'm curious about lower

level defendants. if they surrender, does that eliminate the chance that they could strike a plea deal? >> no, not at all. this is just, you know, get in, get processed, get the ball rolling. and then what the prosecutors will be doing because, of course, they charged 19 people. they need to thin that out before trial and they probably want to develop some cooperators. this is the time they're currently strategizing and thinking about who likely knows what, what testimony can each defendant offer, and who they will be reaching out to in terms of the lawyers, which they may not know by the way. some may not have lawyers yet. as soon as they do, prosecutors will know who to contact and whether that person could talk about cooperation. >> and sara, i want to pivot to the timing of trump's federal election subversion case. his attorneys apparently want that trial to start in april not of next year, but 2026? >> quite a ways down the road. the justice department asked for january of 2024, so that gives

you an idea of how far apart they are. it will be up to the judge to decide ultimately what the trial date is going to be in this case. but trump's attorneys are arguing that one, he's got a lot of legal problems on his hands and on his schedule, and two that there is a lot of discovery to go through in this case. 11.5 million pages. i want to read a portion of the filing. a particularly colorful description of the amount of documentation they have to go through. they said even assuming we could begin reviewing the documents today, we would need to review at a pace of 99,762 pages per day to finish the government's initial production by its proposed date for jury selection. that's the entirety of toy story's piece cover to cover 78 times a day, every day from now until jury selection. >> that is quite a colorful entry. and jen to you, what do you make of this disagreement? how likely is it that prosecutors will get their way and see a more close start date

to the trial? >> boris, we're going to see, i think, at least one or two trials next year before the election. the question is which ones? i mean the prosecutors are going to have to start talking to one another and sort out which trials are going first. it's just not going to happen without everyone getting on the same page, they can't proceed in a vacuum. so i think we will see it. they're going to have to meet in the middle. 2026 is going to be a non-starter. but a couple of these trials are likely to happen after the election next year into 2025 because there is just too much to do. it's not as bad as they're making it out to be with the discovery, but four trials is a lot to prepare for especially someone as busy as he is with a campaign schedule. they just need to get it going. i suspect the january 6 election interference case will probably take precedence and probably get the first trial slot in say february or march of next year. >> what if there is a disagreement among prosecutors about how to coordinate the

order of these trials? >> yeah, and there might be. they're going to have to sort it out. unfortunately there's no grand person above all these people that can order them to do something. but you know, i think in the end they will have to acknowledge the trial will take too long and jury selection will also take a long time, and she's going to have to follow behind the federal cases. so i think that is what will ultimately happen. >> we will keep our eyes on all of these different cases and obviously the 2024 presidential campaign in the backdrop. jennifer rogers, sara murray, thank you so much. jim? still ahead, he was just indicted along with former president trump for trialing to overturn the 2020 election in georgia. now exclusive cnn reporting reveals kenneth chesboro was marching on capitol grounds with conspiracy theorist alex jones on january 6. we're going to walk you through the video that shows that. but first president biden hosting the leaders of japan and south korea for a first ever

summit featuring all three nations. i'll speak to the key member of the house intelligence and china committees about the significance of that summit. it's all coming up next on cnn news central. postmenopausal women with hr+ her2- metaatic breast cancer are living longer with kisqali. with hr+ her2- so, long live family time. long live dreams. and long live you. kisqali is a pill proven to help women live longer when taken with an aromatase inhibitor. and kisqali helps preserve quality of life. so you're not just living, you're living well. kisqali can cause lung problems or an abnormal heartbeat which can lead to death.

happening this afternoon, president biden hosting the leaders of south korea and japan, the first ever tri-lateral summit between the three countries. the meeting in camp david brings the two asian powers together after decades of tension and mistrust. >> it's not only the first summit i've hosted at camp david, but the first ever standalone summit between the leaders of japan and republic of korea and the united states. i can't think of no better way to mark our new chapter of our tri-lateral cooperation than meeting here. our countries are strong expert world will be safer as we stand together.

>> their common goal today, a show of unity and force in the face of a rising china, and increasingly provocative north korea as well. joining us now, mike gallagher of wisconsin, also sits on both the intelligence and armed services committee. thank you so much for taking the time this afternoon. >> thanks for having me. >> the u.s. standings against china is a relatively bipartisan issue, a rare one in washington today. that's part of this message today, this summit with south korea and japan. i wonder in your view, is the u.s. doing what they need to counter china economically and militarily? >> reporter: well, let me first say when it comes to the summit, it's a massive step forward, and i applaud president yoon and prime minister kishida for putting aside historical sensitivity and coming together for this historic meeting.

for decades we've had bilateral meetings, but our position has been weaker as a result. now we're going to have a series of trilateral cooperative efforts, and i think it does nothing, but enhance peace and stability in the indo pacific, specifically as we think about a few weeks ago, we celebrated the 70th anniversary, ending the korean war, a war that claimed thousands of american lives and many more korean lives. it's to remind us that we need to do everything possible to deter and prevent a war before it's too late. to get to your direct question, i think on that issue, what we're not doing with the sense of urgency is surging hard power, west of the international date line to put the path, so he doesn't look across the taiwan strait and think he could make a move and achieve that ambition. that's where it has run into a bureaucratic log jam at the pentagon. that's why we need to work in a bilateral movement to put in a place a deterrent posture that convinces xi he cannot achieve

that ambition. >> on taiwan, i hear two different scenarios. you hear of the danger, of course, of a full-scale invasion. but increasingly i hear warnings about something short of that, a suffocation strategy in circling taiwan to economically trank l threat. do you think one of those things will happen? >> well, i'll confess, i focus mostly on the conventional threat of an amphibious assault and military invasion. however, when i went to taiwan a few months ago, someone said something that still haunts me. you may not be able to swallow a porcupine, but you can starve it. so i left thinking we needed to pay more attention to the blockade scenario, the economic coercion scenario. in fact you can make a case that sort of economic and cyber invasion of taiwan has already begun. when the select committee on china that i did a war game. in fact one of the key findings

that we came away with, while we have sort of the theory of the case when it comes to conventional and strategic deterrence, that we don't incorporate the economic and financial analysis. we don't incorporate what are the economic and financial weapons. we are willing to use in order to prevent the invasion. in some cases, the treasury, the commerce, other non-d od entities aren't at the table when it comes to the scenarios, so we need to do a better job on that and legislation that would force that. that's the analysis that we have not been paying much attention to. >> for decades, americans have been hearing about china's rise and the numbers have backed that up near double digit growth for a long time. but now the trend lines are in the opposite direction. you've got a whole host of negative economic indicators there. there's talk of peak china that it has passed. it's the peak of the economic growth. i wonder, is china a greater or

lesser threat to the u.s. as it weakens economically? >> reporter: well my concern, and all this is, a working hypothesis. as xi jinping confronts the near-term economic issues, but confronts the looming demographic issues that will become most acute in the 2030s, he'll hit a democratic buzz saw that no society in history has dealt with. i think that could make him more aggressive in the near term. he, himself, 69 or 70 years old. so if you believe, as i do, that he's serious about achieving that lifelong ambition of taking taiwan, i think the next five years are the most dangerous. the window of maximum danger. it's also when we have some major defense issues that we're dealing with, big bills that are coming due, and our navy continues to get smaller and smaller and could potentially bottom out at 279 ships by 2027, and that is, of course, the target date xi jinping has set for his military to be ready to innovate taiwan. i think he actually becomes more

available. >> and not just for taiwan, but also ukraine in the face of russia's invasion. as you know, some of your fellow republicans have wavered in their support or publicly opposed u.s. military support for ukraine. you've got a gop, the first presidential primary debate coming up next week. do you want to hear a unified party position saying we stand with ukraine against russia, and we will do whatever it takes to help them defend themselves? >> well, i certainly want to hear where the candidates stand on the issue within the idea of supporting ukraine. there can be reasonable disagreements, right? and i, for example, don't support a blank check as nobody gets a blank check, not even our national security agencies. but i think we need to continue to provide lethal, clinical support to the ukrainians, and put ourselves in a position to shape the outcome on the ground. and i think it is not logical to separate the issues that's happening in eastern europe completely from what's happening

in the indo-pacific because we, of course, have a no limits partnership between xi jinping and putin. when it comes to the debate in wisconsin next week, to see where the candidates stand, and they can disagree about a few issues, but at least my view that we cannot abandon the cause completely in ukraine because they have an impact on what happens in the indo-pacific, which is a priority theater. >> understood. well congressman mike gallagher, thank you so much for joining us. apologies to your green bay packers that my jets took aaron rodgers. [ laughter ] >> oh my gosh. well, you're lucky you're in the afc. i care less about the afc. >> i hear you. we look forward to having you back. thank you so much. he's accused of being the architect of the 2020 fake electors plot, and he's one of the 19 people charged in the georgia indictment. now cnn has an exclusive report revealing where kenneth chesboro was on january 6. plus the lengthy sentences the justice department is

33 years in federal prison. that's what the justice department is asking a judge to sentence two of the leaders of the far right proud boys group. you can see the two men here. they were both convicted in may of conspiracy of plotting and leading the crowd at the january 6 capitol riots. with us now is senior crime and justice reporter kate bolduan.

and these would be some of the lengthiest sentences anyone has faced, being connected to the capitol riot. doj is asking for lengthy sentences for other culprits as well? >> reporter: they are. so there are five men who are essentially the leaders of the proud boys either organizationally or on the ground on january 6 at that riot. the men who were at the front of the mob that got past the barrier and then broke into the building, allowing all of those other people to flood inside and put congress on that very serious and alarming pause in the middle of the presidential certification. and this number that the justice department is asking for for these men, these five men, it is quite a whopper of a number for what they're asking for this sentence to be. i mean to have two of them being asked to have 33 years in prison. and was cheering on the proud boys. he had been purged out of washington. and then others, joseph biggs

and other leaders, 33 years, zachary reels, 30 years. dominic pizzola, 20 years. to compare this, the leader of the oath keepers, stewart rhodes, received a sentence of 18 years in prison, and the justice department asked for 25. and so the justice department wants things to be more significant for the proud boys because of the revolutionary role that they played. they called them political vanguards in this country. people at forefront of political violence for quite some time. >> yeah, notably, katelyn, you also have some reporting on a potential appeal that could undue sentences for other january 6 rioters? >> yeah, we actually got a decision today from the appeal's court in washington, d.c., a federal court, that decided a rioter, a man named james little, who had been sentenced both to some prison time, a short amount of prison time, and probation that he could not have both of those sentences at the same time because he was convicted of a petty offense, a

misdemeanor. so there are many rioters who were convicted of misdemeanors, these petty offenses, essentially for trespassing at the capitol, domestic disturbance types of crimes. and judges in the dc district court, the trial level court chose to sentence them quite harshly because they wanted to both put them in jail and also give them probation, so they would stay in the system, and now an appeal's court says we don't think that's the law. it will be on hold. there could be further appeals. but that's really something to watch. >> something to keep an eye on. kate bolduan, thank you so much. jim? new cnn exclusive reporting now on one of the alleged architects of the trump 2020 fake electors plot. attorney kenneth chesebro and where exactly he was on january 6. remember chesebro is one of the unindicted coconspirators in the special counsel's federal election case. he's also charged himself in the georgia case. and now cnn has identified chesebro on video following conspiracy theorist alex jones around the grounds of the u.s.

capitol on january 6. with us now, senior crime and justice correspondent. so symone, tell us what you've learned about his actions and movements that day. >> reporter: right, video from that day really captures his movement around the grounds outside the capitol. and walking on the grounds with that trump red hat on, and at some point, he starts to follow alex jones. of course, he's one of the loudest voices there, one of the leaders of the stop to steal leaders. then you see chesebro there on the steps there on the grounds, wearing that hat. all raising all sorts of

questions. what exactly was he doing there on the grounds that day? this is a man an attorney for the trump campaign. he talked about in a memo and in his interview with the committee, with the january 6 committee when they questioned him about his activities that had week. he denied ever wanting to answer any of their questions. he took the fifth. he also claimed that he couldn't speak about some of this because of attorney-client privilege. so all of it this surfacing just recently as the attention is focused on him because of this indictment in georgia and because of what's going on in washington, d.c., where he is this unindicted co-conspirator. but certainly as you can imagine, jim, this is raising all sorts of questions. >> quickly, was he seen in any of the videos participating in or around as the violence took place? and i'm curious as to how he responded? >> and yeah, so we have not seen any video of him participating in any violence.

we don't see him going into the capitol. his attorney gave a statement to us and basically said he's not going to talk about this in public at this point. he's going to let the legal process play out. i should note he's one of the defendants who is expected to turn himself in to georgia officials later next week, jim? >> shimon prokupecz, thank you so much. boris? for the first time, water levels on the colorado river are actually going up. so why are officials in those states, whose residents depend on the water, still concerned? plus the age group, a new report says binge drinking, using marijuana or consuming hallucinogens more than ever before? that story is next on cnn news central. ♪

a new report finds more middle-aged americans are binge drinking using marijuana, consuming hallucinogens than ever before. 44% of adults under 30 reported using marijuana last year. that's up from 28% a decade ago. cannabis use has also been spiking among adults age 35 to 50. binge drinking also increasing for that age group with 30% reporting they drink five or more drinks in a row, but there were some good signs in the study. among young adults, alcohol use is steadily declined over the past decade. it's been another roller coaster day for the financial markets. the dow has been down three straight days in part due to rising mortgage rates to the highest level in 21 years. the dow opened lower again

today, but has since rallied. it's now pretty flat as we near the closing bell this friday. finally a new threat to honey bees has been identified for the first time in the wild in the u.s. the invasive lego legged yellow-legged hornet could threaten pollinators in georgia. they play a major role in the state's agriculture industry. boris, we need the bees. >> we do need the bees, jim. we also need the water and the colorado river. a winter of heavy snow is yielding a bit of good level. and so federal officials are going to ease water restrictions along the river next year. but it's not all good news. the long-term health of the water basin is still in doubt. consider this, rising temperatures sucked more than 10 trillion gallons, trillion gallons of water out of the basin over the past two decades

and that is likely to continue to get much worse. cnn's lucy cavanaugh joins us now. and what did you find? >> reporter: that's right. when we talked about the drought, we often looked at states like arizona, where farming and cities are so impacted by the many cuts that states have had to put in place because of the drought. because of the ongoing crisis, the entire river basin is affected. white water rafting could be at risk. take a look. >> reporter: everly has spent much of his life on the river. >> it's a remarkable area of the world. >> reporter: as an avid adventurer, his mission in life is to protect it. >> this is one of the most important places in the nation, and one of the places that we need to be diligent about taking

care of because it does contribute so much to all of us. >> reporter: the colorado river is the life blood of this region, powering cities, quenching the thirst of some 40 million people. it's a refuge for wildlife and a playground that's under threat. >> it's being overused. there's more demand on the river. there's more water being taken out of the river than the river can handle. if we continue to overextract the bank account, we are going to run dry. >> reporter: and a usually wet and snowy winter brought some relief. replenishing snow pack and boosting water levels for the first time in years. but with the rapidly changing climate, experts are warning it's not enough. >> it's been so hot and so dry in the southwest that much of the benefit we got out of the snow pack is literally evaporated. >> one or two extra wet winters is not going to solve this crisis. >> my concern is that people will assume that the situation

is getting much better and that we can take our foot off the gas in terms of conservation. this system can crash and it can crash fast. >> reporter: over the last century, the river has shrunk by roughly 20%. those losses are more apparent in the lower basin states, but the impact is being felt across the entire water way. >> rafting in colorado is a breathtaking experience. it's a slow and sometimes bumpy ride through ancient time at a moment when it seems like the earth's clock is speeding up. even here the affect of climate change, rapid growth, and water overconsumption are threatening the very existence of this river. >> we boat through the canyon, the best roller coaster in north america. class 5 rapids all the way down when it is high waters. the most dangerous part of the job is when i get to this ramp. it's extremely dangerous. >> reporter: the river has shrunk so much that it's nearly

impossible for colorado river guides to pull boats out of the water. >> it'ly dangerous. >> reporter: the river has shrunk so much that it's nearly impossible for colorado river guides to pull boats out of the water. >> it'tream, adding up to two days, not to mention cost to a trip. what worries more about the business impact is the threat to future generations. >> if we want to live out west and we want to protect our heritage out here, and we want to have enough water for our kids and grandkids, then we need to solve these issues now. it's no longer a problem we can kick down the line. >> reporter: a sentiment echoed by eberly. >> it would be heartbreaking to lose this place. >> reporter: the colorado river remains in the midst of a massive climate change driven crisis, a drought, which has lasted for more than two decades. it's the worst the region has

three police officers in antioch, california, are now charged with civil rights violations as part of an fbi investigation into that department as well as neighboring pittsburg, california. the grand jury indictment accuses them of kusing excessiv forces and writing false police reports. vile racist text messages also played a role. cnn's josh campbell joins us from l.a. josh, you look at some of these text messages, they're not only incriminating but shocking in the brazenness. >> reporter: absolutely. force is supposed to be a tool of last resort by police to control a dangerous situation. but prosecutors allege these three officers essentially celebrated inflicting punishment on members of the public.

the fbi arrested the three, charged with civil rights violations. just to show you some of these texts, prosecutors allege in one instance, an officer texted, i'm on my way in now, what are you guys up? one replayed, violating civil rights. this just scratches the surface. another officer allegedly texted, lol, putting a pistol in someone's mouth and tell them to stop stealing isn't illegal, it's a public service. he was also a canine handler. dogs are important to police, but prosecutors allege that he kept a scorecard of the instances where his dog bit suspects, and he shared gruesome images with police. in one, he allegedly wrote, i'm going to take more gory pics for personal stuff. cleaned up pics for the case. another instance, an officer

allegedly wrote, it's good that even though the laws don't keep suspects in jail, they still get f'd up by the dog. he said i know, right? i feel like this is the real punishment compared to the soft d.a. troubling allegations here, jim. >> making themselves judge, jury, and executioner. we have seen cases like this often caught, but by citizens filming police officers, exhibiting this sort of behavior. of course, a lot of police departments require body cams, but there are officers who pushed back including these officers. >> exactly. their antipathy comes through. their department assisted a neighboring police department in an operation. afterwards, amiri texted, if that agency didn't have all those body cams and that was us, we would have f'd him up even

more. one year after that, this department instituted its own body camera policy. one officer said, over it, bro. can't wait to retire. rather than retiring, these three officers are now in federal custody. >> josh campbell, thanks so much for us. for the first time ever, the u.s. is hostin iing a trilatera summit with japan and south korea. soon, we'll hear from the leaders. we'll bring that news conference as soon as it happens right here on cnn news central.
