our piece, the foundation completely gone, collapsed. the house now on the ground. this is what they're calling a 1,000-year flood but this has happened twice in this city in just two years, michael. >> all right, thank you so much, eva. just devastating. george. >> sure is. the latest twist in the nuclear summit with north korea. all sides scrambling to save the talks as the top north korean official is heading from beijing to new york for negotiations. and u.s. diplomats meet with north koreans inside the dmz. abc's bob woodruff is tracking the latest. >> reporter: overnight reports that kim young chul, former north korean spy chief and close aid to kim jong-un landed at beijing airport. apparently planning to continue on to the u.s. for talks. he would be the highest ranked north korean official to visit the u.s. since year 2000, 18 years ago. with just 14 days to go before what the white house calls the expected meeting, president trump and japanese prime minister shinzo abe spoke by
7:09 am
phone late yesterday. south korea's president moon jae-in is considering heading to singapore himself to participate in the summit. but the leader who has remained relatively quiet about the summit is china's president xi jinping who many believe is surprised and frustrated by how quickly this american plan is progressing. still, the u.s. ambassador in china told me today that he is okay with it. does xi jinping like this idea of having a summit down in singapore? >> yes. the chinese support the idea of the united states and north korea meeting because they want to see a denuclearization of the korean peninsula. they want safety and security on their border. >> reporter: u.s. and north korean officials in singapore are hammering out logistics and security issues. and over the weekend, an american delegation crossed into north korea to talk about the the details. it's been a whirlwind blowing back and forth, trump last
7:10 am
thursday calling it off, then over the weekend suggesting it could still happen. >> i think there's a lot of goodwill. i think people want to see if we can get the meeting and get something done. >> reporter: now, very interesting that kim young chul the military intelligence chief reportedly heading to the u.s. is accused of international deadly attacks and also for hacking into the sony pictures computers because kim jong-un was deeply insulted by sony's movie "the interview," i doubt, george, very much he's not going to talk about this subject. >> i think you're probably right about that. bob, thanks very much. let's bring in our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl for more on this. jon, no official word on the meeting but the president is striking an optimistic note on twitter this morning. >> reporter: he absolutely is, george. he's making it official that that north korean official is coming to the united states. you now have a frenzy of activity moving towards a june 12th summit. you have that visit. you have the u.s. delegation b mentioned in north korea. there is another u.s. delegation in singapore working out logistics.
7:11 am
the one thing we don't have yet, george, is any official announcement from the white house that in fact the summit is back on. >> we do know there's still disagreements over what the meaning of denuclearization is. on another front the president's twitter on memorial day drew some fire across the political spectrum. >> reporter: absolutely. the president as you see saying happy memorial day, that those who died would be happy and proud of how great the country is doing and then cited some of his record. this really struck a lot of people the wrong way. former bush speech writer, george w. bush speech writer david frum, said many people question this president but it's no small achievement to write the grossest, most inappropriate, most self-flattering memorial day message in the history of the u.s. presidency. >> jon karl, thanks very much. michael? >> all right, thank you, george. now to that volcano emergency overnight. more residents told to evacuate

7:16 am
familiar face. >> reporter: yes, activist and rapper common appears in the training video and basically talks about how we can see each other fully and respectfully. amy. >> thank you so much. just so happens common will be here live later this morning. we're looking forward to that. michael. >> absolutely. going to turn now to that showdown on the court which amy referenced earlier. the warriors beating the rockets in game seven. now they're heading to their fourth straight championship against the cleveland cavaliers. abc's t.j. holmes is here with all the action and, t.j., you already saw my reaction. >> i did and, stra, i promise you i was actually googling hotels in houston in the first half of the game last night because it looked like that's where we were going to cover the finals. by the end of the third quarter i had bookd my place in oakland. golden state was getting blown out last night and then chef curry started cooking. the defending nba champs were on the ropes, down big and needing to win a game seven on the road for a place in the nba finals.

7:18 am
the greatness that he's shown. >> reporter: james is a four-time league mvp. curry, two but curry says the match-up is about much more than just the two of them. >> no disrespect to the other guys out there. they fought hard, too. >> one of the the greatest teams ever going up against possibly the greatest player ever. the first time in professional sports four teams have gone for a championship against each four years in a row. the same two teams. >> and won eight in a row. >> eight in a row that he's done it. it's unreal. >> wow. got to go to ginger now. >> yes, george, you can see clearly the center of what's left of alberto making its way north through alabama at this point. but there are flood watches from indiana to virginia. all in place for now. but that is just through wednesday really. chicago even gets 2 to 3 inches.

but in reality some people have jobs, mine included, but if you're some sort of 24-hour emergency worker or health care provider, a lot don't have that option and have a 24 -- >> of course. >> how do you then -- it's true. you do get distracted from being a parent as well. how can you work that out for people who have jobs like that? >> i have to speak from experience. remember, i had 22 jobs before i was a boss. it's easier when you're a boss. because you're in charge of people's time but there's still so much distraction. when you're not the boss, you have a lot more control of your time than you think you have. you can chunk up your time. you know the difference between work and home and you can really stay true to it. i don't believe that that is necessarily truele unless of course if you're in the ambulance business or something like that but you can control your time a lot more if you sit down and size it up. >> even if you just say for an hour i'm not going to look at my phone and give myself ten minutes to do something and if you even space it out like that where you're not every second with the phone in your hand. >> you're right about that. i have to tell you when i broke my addiction to my phone on off
8:25 am
hours i felt like it was calling me, barbie, look at me. it's so hard to resist that pull. but you couldn't do it an hour at a chunk but eventually you really can slay that dragon if you realize you're entitled to it. >> i like it because it's -- the balance acts like we're juggling and it's a balancing act but you're saying that this is taking control. >> chopping your time and i have to give you a tip from my brother that i learned. he works for a lot of people pulling at him all the time. when they contact him by e-mail or phone in the morning the e-mail message they get immediately back automatic is i'm in conferences all morning. i'll call you by 12 noon and does the same thing, changes his message in the afternoon, they don't expect to hear film him till 4:00. guess what? everybody waits and he hasn't lost business and he says he's more productive and i totally see that. >> i'll high five that. >> my pleasure. >> you're a boss lady. coming up next, common is here live. stay with us.
8:27 am
good morning. it's 8:27. i'm reggie aqui from "abc7 mornings." san jose police say a 13-year-old boy is responsible for this bad crash. he was driving a honda with its lights off last night, running from police, when he hit another car and then crashed into a traffic pole. this all according to police. three other teenagers were in the honda. two were arrested. a third, also a 13-year-old boy, suffered life-threatening injuries. we're going to have a live report on this story on our 11:00 a.m. news. right now we're going to check in with other traffic and alexis smith. >> yeah, we've get a lot of heavy traffic out there right now, reggie. north bay is normally a lighter commute, but southbound 101 at

[ applause ] >> good to see you, man. >> good to see you. >> i'm big into the mustache.
8:31 am
>> i got to admit this is for a movie. it's like a '70s film i'm doing called "the kitchen." don't think i would be rocking this like every day. my friends have been joking on me calling me a '70s porn star. >> you could pull it off if anybody can, man. you know what, you recently took on a very important role. starbucks has been in the headlines and you're teaming up with them for the new training program that they're doing. tell us about that. >> well, really i just served as a voice of narration for the day that they have today which is about, you know, just starting a conversation and i, you know, what's been happening with black men in america and black people -- starbucks was just a microcosm of how black people
8:32 am
have been dehumanized, and i wanted to be a part of that conversation. it's important that, you know, you have a black man standing up and saying what we need and just being, you know, with howard schultz, i've had a relationship with him because he first approached me right after michael brown was killed -- howard schultz is the ceo or former ceo of starbucks and after michael brown was killed he was really trying to figure out how to get police and the communities together. and one of the things -- one of the initiatives i worked with him on was getting jobs for people in underserved communities and, you know, i know the heart is in the right place. his heart is in the right place but it has to be more than just the conversation which i think the conversation today is a step but for me as a black man we want to see action and want to see you going to the communities and show -- team up with people who are doing things in the community and figure out from these communities how can you really serve them and we got to hold starbucks accountable and we hold our political officials accountable. any businesses we support and we hold ourselves accountable. that's why i'm a part of this conversation.
8:33 am
[ applause ] >> you have an emmy, oscar, three grammys, so just one tony and you got the egot. if you could be in any musical, what would it be? >> one of my favorites musicals of all time is "the wiz." i love "the wiz" because i love michael jackson. [ applause ] maybe i would like to do a musical about marvin gaye or gill scott harris so maybe it would be something like that. i would love to do broadway. >> we would love to see new broadway. >> meantime, you have this incredible film. 100% already on rotten tomatoes. you all want to see a little bit of "the tale"? [ applause ] >> these people are important to me. >> who are these people? like i saw a letter from a woman. who is that? >> that was my writing teacher. she introduced him to me. you know and she was there that summer. that's why i went to see her. i'm trying to figure it out. >> why do you want to find them when you're the victim?
8:34 am
i'm not saying that to -- >> i am not a victim. [ applause ] >> she's dealing with a lot in this movie. this is a different kind of role for you as well. >> yeah, you know, the film is very powerful and it's a story of a woman who as a child at 13 was in a relationship with a 40-year-old man which she considered a relationship but it was child sexual abuse and her coming to grips with that as an adult so me playing her lover and her like fiance is really just as a character, as a human being, as a man i'm there to support her and try to help, you know, as she goes through this healing process. i think it's important, you know, it's a new reel for me but i love it because as a man i got to show a loving man that's
8:35 am
like, okay, this woman is -- my lady is healing herself and i'm not trying to like lead the way, i'm just trying to be there to support her and give her anything i can give her and, you know, sometimes you don't know all you can give her but you just give them love and i really enjoyed playing that character because usually my characters, i'm shooting somebody in a movie. >> the beautiful thing about this, it's all based on a true story. in fact, the movie is directed by jennifer fox who is here in our audience. >> writer/director. >> jennifer, this movie is based on your life. we said this is a very incredible story. why did you decide to share it? >> i was in my 40s, i was a filmmaker already and i just started hearing every second woman had a story of abuse or, frankly, rape and i was shocked, you know, that i was hearing all this and suddenly as common
8:36 am
said, what i'd always called a relationship did a seismic shift in my mind and i realized it was sexual abuse but i wasn't able to tolerate calling it that as a child so the film is really about the stories we tell ourselves to survive and how the mind and memory can be protective to take care of yourself with trauma until you're ready to face it and the film is me trying to face it with these amazing actors, common, laura dern, ellen burstyn, elizabeth debicki, jason ritter. [ applause ] >> jennifer, thank you for joining us this morning. thank you for joining us this morning as well and sharing this powerful story about something very close to you in your life and, common, we're still trying to figure out something you're not good at. >> come on, man. >> you're so good at everything. thanks for joining us.
