greg: thanks to >> molly: a fox urgent, one person killed and four others injured in a stabbing attack in paris. police also killing the suspect whom isis is now calling one of its soldiers. investigators opening a terrorism investigation. good evening, i'm molly line. you're watching "the fox report." the incident taking place just a short time ago near the famous paris opera house located in one of the city's popular tourist district. brian yennis joins us with of more. >> reporter: a man armed with a knife began stabbing people at random, killing one, wounding four others, two seriously. the suspect was shot dead by police. this video shows people running

for their lives and a person lying on the ground either wounded or dead. witnesses describe the chaos of the attack which took place near the city's opera house. >.>> i was having a drink with a friend and i heard a boom, boom. i thought it was gunshots. i saw a bloke lying on the ground. after that we rushed back into the bar. >> reporter: witnesses say the man shouted god is great as he stabbed people. the islamic state's news agency claimed the suspect was one of its soldiers. the islamic state has done this before. they have falsely claimed responsibility so we shall see. the paris prosecutor opened a terrorism investigation into the knife attack. france's counter terrorism authorities are investigating. france le's president tweeted a short time ago, quote, all my thoughts go to the victims and the wounded of the knife attack perpetrated tonight in paris as well as to their relatives. i salute on behalf of all the

french the courage of the policemen who have neutralized the terrorist. france once again paid the price of blood but did not give an inch to the enemies of freedom. again, molly, two dead including the knife-wielding man, four injured in a terrorist attack in paris tonight. >> molly: france has had a string of these types of attacks since 2015, right? >> reporter: they have, molly. less than two months ago a 26-year-old man shot three people dead, leaving 16 people injured. the man said he was fighting on behalf of isis. there's been a series of attacks since a concert hall attack which left 130 people dead and more than 350 wounded in the deadliest attack of that kind in the nation's history. molly. >> molly: brian, thanks for gathering all you can on what's happening in paris right now. the world will be watching on june 12th when president trump and kim jong un meet for that historic summit in singapore. the date and location finally

released this week after secretary of state mike pompeo ironed out the details with kim jong un. pompeo called the conversations warm and saying the u.s. and pyongyang have a shared vision to the korean peninsula. >> i have spent more time with chairman kim, other than perhaps president moon, working on this incredibly important challenge that lays before the world. president trump and the world has set the conditions for a successful outcome from june 12th a and the activities that are necessary to follow. >> molly: and president trump tweeting a a few hours ago, north korea has announced they will dismantle nuclear sites this month. ahead of the big summit meeting on june 12th, thank you, a very smart and gracious gesture. jillian turner has the latest. >> reporter: earlier today, a few press release claims north korea plans to hold a ceremony

to dismantel the nuclear test ground between may 2 23rd and may 25th. they say all the test ground tunnels will be blown up and journalists are being invited. just yesterday, secretary of state mike pompeo spoke out after his return from north korea for what turned out to be arguably the most consequential foreign policy trip of the trump administration to date. he's brimming with optimism about the forthcoming trump/kim summit. >> if north korea takes action to quickly denuclearize, the u.s. is looking to work with north korea. >> reporter: pompeo claims there is a shared vision and they're in complete agreement about what they seek to achieve at the summit. after more than a year of fiery rhetoric and traded jabs back and forth, this is a remarkable

turnaround. some experts suggesting the current mood may be too good to be true. they caution washington and pyongyang don't necessarily have the same understanding of the concept of denuclearization and doubt kim really does intend to give up his prized nuclear program, a program initiated by his very own grandfather decades ago. president trump's initial claim was that kim would relinquish all nuclear weapons, fuel and ballistic missiles before the u.s. made any concessions and with the summit a few weeks away, the window for kim to comply is closing rapidly. >> molly: jillian turner, thank you. for more on this, let's bring in saude jeti. we've seen remarkable pictures, these with the secretary of state walking with the leader of north korea with the handshake, describing the conversations as warm is remarkable in itself.

the consensus among analysts is that north korea is not be the trusted, the pyongyang we should be wary of. sarah sanders had this to stay during a white house briefing yesterday. >> this is certainly a process that has moved in the right direction. we've seen some signs of goodwill from north korea, just this week with the three americans brought back home, also the stopping of the ballistic missile tests. >> molly: now there's word from north korea that journalists have been invited to watch the dismantling of this key site, something the president said was very smart and a gracious gesture. are we at a time when this is theater on the part of north korea or is it something more? >> it is a very positive sign that the nuclear test site is being dismantled by north korea. there are a lot of people who look at this and say north korea can dismantle this nuclear test site and still give up relatively nothing. because they have already

achieved their ultimate goal. they have used that nuclear test site to develop a very powerful nuclear warhead and at the same time they have tested as many ballistic missile as they need to to prove they can hit the united states homeland. they developed a stra strategic threat to our country. that's why they're coming to the negotiating table now. it's very positive news that this is being dismantled but a lot of analysts are looking at this and they're saying well, they're not really giving up anything because they continue to have their nuclear deterrent against us and whether or not they're going to give up something that they have starved their own people for 25 years to develop remains very, very much in question. >> molly: and that is the big question here. when we're looking at the potential they may have a cache of weapons. their definition of denuclearization and the world definition could be very different. i suppose that's what the summit is all about. the summit is expected to be brief. can what needs to be accomplished be accomplished in that amount of time?

>> what needs to happen between the president and between chairman kim is that they need to have certain sets of basic understanding. they need to look each other in the eyes and agree on the definition of denuclearization. so if both of those leaders can look at each other in the eyes and say denuclearization means the total and verifiable dismange plant lindismantling os nuclear program, without any preconditions, like recognition of certain things or giving concessions to the chinese, then, sure, that could happen within 10 hours. but if they start to get down into the granular details, sarah sanders did tell us yesterday they're setting aside i think an additional 24 hours just in case on the schedule, in case they can't agree initially on what needs to be agreed upon and they'll dig into that then. >> molly: we talked a little about how north korea can't necessarily be trusted and all of the challenges ahead. let's take a look at the hope

that people have had. here is the president. this is from -- he's talking about north korea from a rally on thursday. >> for all of us, for the world, hopefully something very good is going to happen and they understand it's very important for them, it's important for everybody. so japan, south korea, china everybody, i think it's going to be a very big success. but my attitude is, and if it isn't, it isn't. okay? >> molly: so tempering expectations there at the end a little bit. he seems to be saying. and he's talked a lot about what this means for the world, for all of us collectively, not just the united states and the safety of the u.s. and south korea and our allies. is there great reason to hope? >> yes, there's absolutely great reason to hope. this is the most deescalated we've seen tensions on the peninsula in quite some time. during the obama administration,

missiles were going off all the time. now we have no more missile tests. we have dismantling of a nuclear test site and our president is optimistic about this. it's always a good thing when people are talking, instead of on the other side of the globe from each other, threatening fire and fury or calling each other names. this is a positive development. the president's national security adviser and secretary of state are going in with eyes open. they said this is our goal, we're not settling for anything else. if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. what's happened in the past has not worked. >> molly: secretary of state pompeo said an agreement with north korea would have to include a robust verification program. that touches a little bit on what you were talking about, if they're already holding on to some weapons. south korea said they don't want to see the pressure taken off, particularly at this point in time, that the sanctions need to stay in place. how swiftly do you think there could be changes following that very important date of june 12th?

>> we have already seen how things have moved so swift. there's no reason to believe that if they can actually reach an agreed upon definition of denuclearization, you can get i.a.e.a. inspectors on the ground within a week. the real question is, is how is that going to move forward. are they going to inspect once a month? are they going to be there permanently? what governments are going to be involved in ensuring this. is russia going to play a role? china certainly has to play a role because they have major strategic interests there. those further questions are actually where the most change will happen. it is very significant. remember, we've had an agreed upon framework with the north koreans in the past that fell apart over a decade, specifically because the inspections regime failed and it was something that the north koreans absolutely violated. >> molly: it will be interesting to see if things are different this time around. thank you so much. and we would like to ask you to come back later in the show. we'll get your reaction at the bottom of the hour on the white house response to a staffer's

mocking of senator john mccain's cancer. for more on the summit between president trump and kim jong un, be sure to tune into fox news sunday when chris wallace sits down with secretary of state mike pompeo in his first interview since his return from north korea. this man has spent more time with kim jong un, perhaps the most mysterious leader in the world, than any westerner especially for possibly dennis rodman. i'm very interested in hearing what he has to say. the north koreans announced they're going to dismantle their nuclear site in about 10 days. there has been no reaction from the u.s. to that. we'll get the first reaction tomorrow on fox news sunday from secretary of state mike pompeo. >> molly: it is truly a cannot miss fox news sunday. check your local listing for more information. right now, protesters taking to the streets of iran after president trump's withdrawal from that landmark nuclear deal.

time. what we should do in 2018 is independent of what we should have done in 2015. witwhat the president's done is legal. it's just bad state craft. we should be sanctioning iran intensely but telling europe we're doing it not to blow up the nuclear deal but a because of what iran is doing in syrian and yemen. >> molly: a majority of republicans in congress appear to be backing the president, pointing out the agreement had sparked disagreements on capitol hill. >> there's a risk when you make a major decision like this. keep in mind, there was over 400 people in the house that voted against moving the corker amendment that moved this bill in the senate. they voted against that and then 58 senators voted against this including chuck schumer. >> molly: we are following all of this from washington. >> reporter: on the

international front, the u.s. is largely on its own here. have you a few u.s. allies in the region like israel and saudi arabia who are backing the u.s.'s decision to leave the nuclear deal. apart from that, there is widespread condemnation. the bulk is coming from the european allies who are left scrambling to salvage the deal. on friday, france's minister of finance urged european leaders to stand up to the trump administration and not allow themselves to be subjected to america's foreign policy decision. >> europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interest. what do we want to be? do we want the u.s. to be the economic policeman of the planet? >> reporter: european union leaders concede that keeping the deal together without the u.s. will not be easy. but they are optimistic they can get it done by sticking together. >> israel is not a bilateral treaty. it's a u.n. security council

resolution. it belongs to the entire world. the consequence of that is that no single country alone can destroy the deal or can undo the deal. >> reporter: the only country that can destroy the deal on its own is iran and there is growing pressure on leaders in tehran to leave the deal. this week iran's supreme leader suggested the deal will fail because the u.k., france and germany can't be trusted. those sentiments are being echoed by other hard liners who took part in protests across the country this week. >> today we must rely on our own capabilities and if we do so, rest assured that we will win and the west's domination will not be successful. >> reporter: on tuesday, iran's foreign minister will meet in brush sells with his counterparts from the u.k., germany and france to discuss the future of the nuclear deal and determine if it's something iran is still interested in. if not, they vowed to immediately restart production of enriched uranium.

police say the suspect stabbed several people near the famed paris opera house in the central part of the french capital, killing one and injuring at least four. officers then shot and killed the attacker. a french prosecutor says witnesses report the suspect shouted god is great in arabic. president trump approving hawaii's request for a major disaster declaration as molten lava continues to cause massive problems on the big island. the disaster deck a cla declaras federal funds to help the island. researchers say things could get worse. anita vogel is in los angeles. what are people doing to prepare for the worst? >> reporter: about 2,000 people have already been evacuated. many others are on standby to leave at a moment's notice. geologists are warning of more

intense explosions that could send huge boulders like the size of a small car shooting up into the air up to half a mile away. they're keeping an eye on lowering the lava lake in the middle of the crater, raising the potential for explosions and for more giant ash plumes that could rise as high as 20,000 feet. many residents are worried about how the toxic gas might affect them. >> respiratory problems, heart conditions, any of that sulfur dioxide coming over is really harmful. if there were an ash fallout, that would be a big concern. it could get into our water systems, clog up our pumps. >> reporter: those who have already been evacuated are in temporary red cross shelters as the island searches for more permanent housing. molly. >> molly: what makes this so frightening is the unpredictability of all this. we're hearing there was a new opening in the ground this morning in hawaii. tell us about that. >> reporter: there was. these are called fissures or vents. this is where the lava literally

bursts through the ground. you can see here on this map this morning the 16th vent opened up. you can seize the red spot on the map. that indicates the fissures, the newest one is just to the east or to the right of that spot, close to a geothermal energy plant and a residential subdivision. it's from these vents in the ground where the molten rock lava has burst above ground and flowed into neighborhoods and destroyed 26 homes and other structures. scientists observing this latest vent say so far it has only had a mild spattering of lava, barely enough to call it an eruption but of course that could change at any time and cause more trouble. right now, as i mentioned before, 2,000 people who live near these vents have been evacuated. hundreds are without power and really there's no end in sight because officials say this kind of activity could actually go on for months. molly, back to you. >> molly: months and homes could be obviously completely

destroyed. so who knows where people that are homeless now will be headed next. thank you very much. the grand opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem is set for monday and not without lots of controversy in that volatile region. how israel is getting ready for the big day. plus, how the white house is reacting to an aide mocking senator john mccain's cancer. >> the remarks are awful. let's look at this in context. that was said in a private meeting inside the white house. it was a joke. it was a badly considered joke.

energy lives here. >> molly: the trump administration looks to be narrowinnarrowing its 2018 to ot and agenda. it appears to be getting a lot leaner heading into the november midterms. allison barter has the latest from the white house. >> reporter: infrastructure was supposed to be kind of the top priority for 2018. president trump talked about infrastructure going all the way back to the campaign when he candidate trump. he talked about reform, the need for investment in infrastructure. he unveiled an infrastructure proposal last year. he unveiled one again in february. the february plan would be to use $200 billion to generate $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investment. in march, president trump traveled to ohio to try and convince americans that that plan was a good one. infrastructure seemed to be one of the biggest priorities in

2018 but right now it seems the legislative to do list for 2018 is pretty short and domestically it's mostly comprised of one thing and that's immigration. >> we would love to see something done on immigration. it's something the president has been talking about for a long time. we've laid out the principles and the priorities that we would like to see as part of an immigration package. there's still some movement on that front and we would still like to see something happen. we would love for congress to actually show up, do their jobs, democrats to stop owe posing good legislation. >> reporter: president trump tweeting this afternoon the senate should get funding done before the august break or not go home. wall and border security should be included. earlier this month, sarah sanders tabled the idea of an infrastructure package getting passed or moving forward by the end of this year. >> certainly the administration as you mentioned secured some funding for infrastructure

projects. we also laid out priorities that we wanted to see in an infrastructure legislation package. we're going to continue to look at ways to improve the nation's infrastructure but in terms of a specific piece of legislation, i'm not aware that that will happen by the end of the year. >> reporter: sources say president trump berated his homeland security secretary kir steykirstin nielsen at a cabinet meeting. in a statement, nielsen said in part, quote, the president is rightly frustrated that existing loopholes and the lack of congressional action have prevented the administration from fully secureing the border and protecting the american people. i share his frustration. there were reports that nielsen drafted a letter of resignation but a spokesperson for the department odepartment of homely pushed back on that idea, tweeting that those reports suggesting that were false. molly. >> molly: allison, thank you.

>> why not apologize to senator mccain. >> i'm not going to get into a back and forth. i'm not going to validate a leak one way or another out of an internal staff meeting. >> are you saying she didn't say this? >> i'm not going to validate a leak out of an internal staff meeting. >> molly: sarah sanders ducking comments about an aide mocking senator john mccain in a staff meeting. sarah sanders reportedly blasted staffers for leaking the comment. she reportedly said the nomination doesn't matter because, quote, he's dying anyway. sanders said to have called sads comments unacceptable. let's start here. the fallout from this, the white

house secretary saying -- la lamenting the fact that this leak gets out, as she laments the lamenting of the leak, that gets leak. mick mulvaney had this to say. >> you have to have some freedom to speak in a private meeting to speak candidly. we've all said things in private that we would never say publicly. i think she's handled it appropriately. i was under the impression she called megan mccain, the daughter, maybe she called the wife. i'm not sure about that i think she handled it appropriately. i'm disappointed that someone would undermine the president by leaking that out of a private meeting. >> molly: of courses talking about sadler's apology. how big of a problem is this for the white house, when a communications staff can't have an internal meeting without information out of that meeting leaking? >> yes, molly, they are already a paranoid shop. this is going to make it more paranoid. many of the sources i spoke to

said sarah was absolutely disgusted and really enraged that her internal conversations were getting out. and really it's almost like an a anger and source of resignation where they say yes, i'm sure this is going to leak too. you had white house strategic communications director saying you can put me on the record here, i stand with kelly sadler knowing many subordinates would talk to some reporters including my c that is a great frustration for them. in many ways it isolates the white house communication shop from the rest of the policy team who are frustrated they're not read into major decisions and they can't answer questions whenever the press asks them. going forward, we can assume a more isolated white house shop. >> molly: it's interesting, because over the past weeks we've heard a lot of frustration that the com shop isn't getting information about everything that's going on outside of the white house, that they're not told things that the president

is tweeting, things with rudy guliani going on and on and on. how do you begin to fix a problem that seems to be broad a than just leaks that appear to be private meeting. >> the national security advisor was brought into the national security council in large part to stop many of the leaks that were coming out. as we can recall, the president's private notes for his phone call with russia's president, vladimir putin, some of the most sensitive documents in the united states government leaked, his transcript with foreign leaders leaked. so this is a white house-wide problem, not just the communications shop. and i think that a lot of it does stem from the fact that many of them just are jockeying for different positions and from just the high staff turnover with many people having loyalty to their separate boss but not necessarily to the president or their other boss. >> molly: perhaps a little more loyalty to one another.

senator john mccain weighed in against the nomination of gina haspel to be the head of the cia, writing her refusal to acknowledge torture's immorality is disqualifying. she did pick up some sport from some democrats. senator joe donnelly of indiana said i believe she has learned from the past and that the cia under per leadership can help her country confront serious international threats and challenges importantly. ms. haspel expressed her commitment to be responsive to congressional oversight and to provide unvarnished assessment to members of congress and the president. does this mean at this point in time that she will be confirmed? does she have the numbers? >> all the indications seem to say she will be confirmed by a very, very thin margin. we do not yet know what that margin is. there is still a few democrats which could go either way and of course senator rand paul while he's on the record as a no, he was also on the record as a no

with secretary pompeo. i'm sure the white house will make an effort to try to flip senator paul. it depends on whether they think they can get those democrats. all indication% that she will be confirmed. white house officials are sleeping relatively easy on this nomination. >> molly: all right. thank you for all insights. it is a big, big week ahead for washington and we appreciate it thanks for talking with us. >> thanks for having me. after the promises of many administrations and presidents and then they never did it, they company pain, they promised -- campaigned, they promised, they never indict. next week we will finally open the american embassy in jerusalem! [ cheering and applause ] >> molly: president trump proudly announcing the controversial opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem. that is set for monday day. it's an accomplishment that fulfills one of his campaign

promises. it comes at a time of increasing violence between the israelis and the palestinians on the ga. >gazastrip. >> reporter: what a busy week this has been in the middle east. it started with president trump's decision to pull out of the iran deal, followed by iranian rockets being fired toward northern israel. hours after that, we saw israel respond, taking out almost all the iranian military placement inside syria. we look ahead to monday and the grand opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem which promises to be quite an event. officials say thousands of officers will be deployed to secure the perimeter and protect visiting american officials. ivanka trump, jared kushner, steve mnuchin and government officials from state and congress will be attending. president trump tweeted yesterday, saying big week next week when the american e embassy in israel will be moved to jerusalem. congratulations to a he won't be here in person but he will give a speech via video link at the ceremony. the opening of the embassy coincides with the culmination

of six weeks of protests along the gaza border. on tuesday palestinians mourned what they call the catastrophe of the creation of the jewish state and the hamas leader warned on tuesday tens of thousand coughs burrs through the border fence into israel on that day. there is news that israel air force bombed and attack tunnel leading from gaza to israel. recognizing jerusalem as the capitol of israel has been a campaign promise for many presidents. only president trump has stayed true the promise. the palestinians pulled away from the negotiating table saying they too have a right to jerusalem. >> molly: thank you. be sure to tune in tonight for justice with judge janine. she will be in jerusalem ahead of monday's embassy opening. it starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. iraq holding its first election since the collapse of isis. we will tell you about the turnout and how the trump
