reported tornadoes in oklahoma and severe weather extending further north into places like minnesota. reports that baseball size hail and damaging winds. today we could be seen and enhance risk for more of your mother. the possibility of more storms that could bring violent turn a dozen also large-scale across places like texas extending into kansas and david harker murtha and a portion of the crosscut in iowa. stay safe out here. you need to make sure you have a way to get weather warnings. more vital but on the way. nicole: president obama making a statement g7 meeting. let listen in. >> international norms for us to build a get on critical issues that not only affect individual countries, but affect the international order is vitally important that we very much appreciate the work of the japanese and the prime minister have done in organizing an excellent medium. so far we have discussed issues

on the global economy and the need to continue to accelerate growth to work, but also helping to lift wages and make sure we can sustain momentum of the recovery. most prominently, but also starting to see progress over. the fact that the greek debt crisis has been resolved for a reasonable length of time should help. but with all got a lot of work to do and we agreed to continue to focus on making sure that each country based on his particular needs and capacities are taking steps to accelerate growth. we had a chance to talk about trade. not only tpp and our involvement

in that, but also tt ip and we committed ourselves to making sure we finish those negotiations before the end of the year and emphasized the importance of pushing back against either protectionism or competitive currency devaluation or the kind of strategies that all too often end up leaving everybody worse off. we began to touch on some of the key security issues that are important to all of us. south china sea and maritime security touched on issues surrounding green where we started to see some progress in negotiations, but we still see too much violence and we need to get that resolved. we will spend some time this evening tackling the other major international hotspots.

so that gives you an update of where we are at so far. with that i will die than an asked questions. >> mr. president, what are they worried about that you mark. i think that is your focus in on this a priority for you. how do you communicate risks and concerns in a way that would do more because it seems to be getting worse? americans worry about unlikely event that can kill dozens. do they worry about the risks of nuclear mishaps are attacks that are unlikely event that could potentially kill millions and set a dozen. in short, are we paying enough attention to kim jong good and pakistani tactical is in the service of things you know are going on. >> at the checkered question.

i won't characterize how other presidents were thinking about these issues. i can tell you how i'm thinking about it. that is that the dropping of the atomic bomb, the ushering in of nuclear weapons was an inflection point in modern history. that is something that all of us have to deal with in one way or another. obviously, it is not as prominent in people's thinking as i was in the cold war at the time when her parents and grandparents were huddling under desks and frequent drills. but the backdrop of a nuclear event remains something that i

think prices on the lack of our imaginations. part of the reason i'm going is because i want to once again -underscore the very real risks that are out there in the sense of urgency that we all should have. so it is not only a reminder of the terrible toll of world war ii in the death of innocents across continents, but it is also to remind ourselves that the job is not done in reducing conflict, building institutions of peace and reducing the prospect of nuclear war in the future. in some ways, we've seen real

progress over the last several years. the iran nuclear deal is a big piece of business because without us having to fire a shot, we were able to persuade a big sophisticated country that had a well-developed nuclear program not to develop nuclear weapons. the star to treaty that i negotiated my first couple years in office with the russians has reduced our respective stock piles. the nuclear security summit and all the work we've done on not for has made it less likely that nuclear materials fall into the hand of terrorists or nonstate actors. although we have not seen the kind of progress i would've liked to have seen with respect to north korea, what would've been able to do is mobilize the international community so that

their proliferation activities are scrutinized much more carefully than they have far fewer countries that are tolerance of potential actions by north korea outside of their program. having said that, north korea is a big worry for all of us. they are not at the point right now where they can effectively hit u.s. target, but each time that they test, even if those tests fail, they learn something. it is clear that ideologically they are still convinced and kim jong in in particular seems to be convinced of some legitimacy is tied up with developing

nuclear weapons. he pointed out in south asia and that is still a concern. we know that terrorist organizations would have no compunction at the same that. we've got a lot of work to do. we've built up an architecture during the course of my presidency that has made a difference, but his focus interest on key points upon their ability. though we are not where we need to be yet. obviously, we haven't achieved all the polls when i spoke in prague at the beginning of my presidency. of course i noted at the time that i didn't expect to be able to achieve all those goals strain the course of my presidency or even in my lifetime and this is going to be an ongoing task. but it is one that i think we have to pay a lot of attention to you.

>> the secretary of state called north korean nuclear program the biggest threat in the world right now, the greatest threat. do you agree with that? do you see this nuclear program is the worst thing going on? the >> well, it is not the thing that poses the most immediate risk. obviously, treadmill and then -- treadmill and then using rifles and crude alms and people are rightly insisted that the world community stand against. there is a reason why we are focused on not. but this is not a situation where we can afford to just focus on the short-term.

over the long-term when you're you're such an unstable regime that is so isolated that generally flouts international norms and rules more than perhaps any other nation on earth, that is also devoting enormous national resources, hell-bent on getting nuclear weapons they couldn't fire long distances. that poses the medium-term threat that we have to pay a lot of attention to and i assure you it is something in my administration has paid a lot of attention to. it is some thing i think has been at the center of the trilateral were that was done with close allies in the region. it is something we have put at

the center of our discussions and negotiations with china. as i said before, what we have seen actually is improved responses from countries like china, countries in the region like vietnam and earned by taking these issues much more seriously because we are gauged. and so, that may reduce the risks of north korea selling weapons or fissile material to other countries are putting it on the black market. but it does not, so far at least, solve the core problem of north korea continuing to develop its program and we are going to continue to work in a concerted way. in the meantime, i have been working with the pentagon for several years making sure we can develop the kinds of defense architecture that can protect

the united states and our allies from an unexpected escalation. carol. >> thank you. you said before when attacked a world leaders they often ask about the presidential election. can you give us a sense of conversations you had so far, what they're saying to you, what you said it had done that donald trump is the nominee and he recently said that japan should pay for the u.s. troop presence there. but also on the democratic side, what they say about that in what you think of that, obviously continuing to be divisive as bernie sanders saying he would take it to the convention and he's endorsed or democratic party chair, primary opponent. should he change course? have you decided you're not going to get involved until one of them concedes to the other?

>> well, book, when the world pays attention to the u.s. elections. they pay more attention to our election sometimes been repaid to bears because the united states is, as i've said before, at the heart of the international work. even those countries that are critical of us, even those countries that complained or question in particular policy decisions that we make, know that ultimately big stone pulled together so well if the united states is not making good decisions. and cap tomas to provide a certain level of stability and direction in meeting global challenges. so they are paying very close attention to this election.

i think it's fair to say they are surprised by the republican nominee. they are not sure how seriously to take it. some of his pronounced vents. but they are rattled by it and for good reason because a lot of the proposals made display either ignorant of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or uninterested in getting headlines such as actually making true what it is that is required to keep america safe and secure and prosperous than what is required to keep the world on an even keel. with respect to the democratic primary process, as i have said before, it has been my view to let this play out. but voters make up their minds.

during primaries, people get a little grumpy with each other. you know, it is just the nature of the process. you start off and everybody is thinking this is fine. this is going to be a friendly competition and we will get ideas and somebody says one thing and then another person says another thing and that bent the rules sharper than good. somebody supporter pop offs -- pops off. there is a certain build up of aggravation. we saw that in my lengthy primary in 2000 made. this is no different. but what i think is important to remember is that unlike what you've seen in the republican

primary, for the most part, there is not that big of a different ideologically in terms of the issues. both hillary and ernie believe that every american should have health care. votes of them think we've got to make college more affordable. both of them will leave that it is important for us to have a tax system that is fair and that we should be closing corporate loopholes in order to pay for things like infrastructure investment in early childhood education. you've got their proposal side-by-side. they are all pointing in the same direction and the differences are primarily tacked goal. they had to do with how do you get some of this stuff done. so, that doesn't mean that those

are serious questions to ask and debate. it does mean that once the primary process is resolved, the ability for us to pull together around a common vision that is in sharp contrast to the vision being offered on the other side i think is one that will get done by the convention. i would urge and have urged both sides to try to stick to the issues because a lot of that grumpiness arises where folks feel as if we are not talking about an issue, but talking about personalities and character and they are both good people. i know them both well is and i think that it's important for us to try to end this in a way that leaves both sides feeling proud of what they've done.

both sides have run serious competitive races and debated issues in a serious way. so i'm proud of democrats for doing not. carol, as you know, i sure know because i've been through this a bunch of times, there is just a natural impulse when you are having to report every day on campaign that every little blip, speedbump, conflict, trash talking that takes place is elevated, not to mention polls. the one thing i have learned after being around for a while is that kind of day-to-day choppiness is not indicative of longer-term trust. i feel confident about the

democratic vision for the country and i feel confident not just to win elections, but to deliver on behalf of the american people and issues they care about. >> is going to the end of july make it harder to defeat mr. trump? >> no. look, would it be nice if everybody was immediately unified, whoever the nominee and to do and pictures taken nice to repatriation to recharge? absolutely. i guarantee you that the eventual nominee share wishes it was over now because this is a crime. it's hard. one of the things i've always found is that it is a lot more training arguing against your friends then it is arguing against your political opponents.

you know, it weighs on you more. he criticized by folks who are in your own party always hurts just a little bit more. and so, you know, it takes a little energy out of you. these are folks who are serious about trying to solve the country's problems. they are both veterans of the political grind and so they are going to hold up and by the time they get to the convention, i'm confident we'll be in good shape. as a special bonus, i'm going to take one more question. go ahead. >> mr. president, you mentioned some tactical differences between the two democratic candidates. when you hear bernie sanders speak, it seems like he's talking about more of the issue of trust ability and the need

for a political revolution. just yesterday we saw the state department sector general put out a report about secretary clinton's e-mail and abuse that could undermine she said about her at e-mail practices. i'm wondering if you think that undermines her trustworthiness with the american people and if you agree with bernie sanders that she should release the transcripts of her highly paid speeches to wall street. >> okay, you know what, i take it back. i'm not taking it. we are in japan. don't wear we have something in asia we want to talk about? all been talking about this in washington the whole time. but, i party said a lot of that. those issues are better direct it to the campaign. as i said before, during the course of the primary, people say what they think might help them get some votes. you know, once the campaign is

over, they move on and they make the assessment in terms of how they can make sure that the vision they care most deeply about has the best chance of passing congress and getting signed by a president and the supreme court nominees are confirmed and all the things that make for a functioning, affect his government. you know, i think that the noise that is going back and forth between the candidates at this point, if you want insight into how they think about it, that should be directed to them. i'll take -- you've are to a question. >> can i ask your thinking on the new taliban leader and how that affects prospects for peace in the region?

>> as i was saying to my team, i was the next that being a level democrat to be the newly appointed leader of the taliban. this continues to be an organization that sees violence as a strategy for obtaining its goals and moving forward in afghanistan. we have a democratically elected government in afghanistan and our goal right now is to make sure that constitution and democratic process is upheld. not to mention that we are able to maintain the counterterrorism platforms we need in that region so al qaeda can now train the love and are not able to take root and use this as a basis to

attack us in the united states. my hope, although not my expect patient is that there comes a point at which the taliban recognizes that they are not going to simply be able to overrun the country and what they need to be doing is enter into serious reconciliation talks that are led by afghan. if that happens, that is something the united states and others in the community would support your but i am doubtful that will happen anytime soon. we will have to wait and see how those things develop. in the short term, we appreciate the talent and will continue to pursue an agenda of five and in blowing up innocent people and the kinds of actions that have

characterized their approach over the last 15, 20 years. i do think there will, point, perhaps not this year or next year, but eventually, where there are those within the community that surrounds the taliban at least they recognize their goals are best achieved by negotiations. okay. nicole: dallas president obama speaking night at the g7 meeting in japan about the fact we need to sustain the u.s. economic recovery with the same progress in europe and other concerns about counterterrorism at locally. those are the things he was those are the things he was discussing.oud. lauren: very comprehensive.
