and exposed other people who had been treating him to this chemical. so the hospital did call the fire department to come out here and assist in the decontamination and to help identify what this chemical is. the fire captain tells us they were able to identify it and not been able to tell us what it is but they were able to decon tam mate with soap and water. ten medical staff were exposed. this includes the flight medics. they are all okay. no other patients were exposed and as far as the condition of that initial patient who was brought in, his condition is still unknown. bmc did have to modify their operations here while they had the decontamination going on in the video how involved that was, but everything right now is back up to normal running operations. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. >> at 5:02. this is a sad story. live to danville where students are returning to san ramon valley high school this morning. yesterday a freshman was found

immigration. >> the first thing i'll do is reverse gavin newsom's sanctuary state law. >> the problem is created by an open border policy of the california democrats. >> i'll push back against john cox and donald trump and trumpism. this is a kind of rhetoric that has no place in california. >> if you think the anti-immigrant hysteria began with donald trump, it's been happening since the end of the mexican american war. i've seen how hard they worked and how much they contribute to our country. >> one of the questions is whether undocument the immigrants on average commit fewer crimes than native born americans and politifact rates this as mostly true though there hasn't been a lot of research on the topic. we are fact checking that and of course there were a lot of different other topics. want to talk about education next? >> let's do it. >> we'll do that for you at 5:30. >> they certainly did last night. it was very interesting. thanks so much, kris. we'll check back with her in a bit.

good morning, we come on the air with breaking news, three american detainees held for years in north korea have been released and on the way home at this hour. secretary of state mike pompeo is bringing them home. the secretary of state had a meeting with north korea leader kim jong-un in anticipation of a summit coming up between the two leaders. let's go right to kristen wel r welker. bring us up to date. >> reporter: good morning to you. hugely significant morning here at the white house for president trump, he made the announcement on twitter moments ago. let me read you his tweet. i'm pleased to inform you that secretary of state mike pompeo is in the air and on the way back with the three wonderful gentlemen everyone is slookilooo meeting. good meeting with kim jong-un, date and place set.

that is significant savannah, it's an indication that they have determined the date and place of that potential meeting between president trump and kim jong-un. now, there was a second tweet. let me read that to you. secretary pompeo and his guests will be landing at andrews air force base at 2:00 a.m. in the morning. i'll be there to greet them, very exciting. the big question, what is the physical health of the detainees, i put that question to a senior national security official earlier today. this person telling me that effectively they aren't exactly sure if the health of the detainees but they were encouraged by the fact that they were moved into a hotel ahead of this planned meeting by the secretary of state who of course is now with the detainees heading back to the u.s. the broader context here, savannah, president trump wants to meet with kim jong-un, wants to secure an agreement for north korea to denuclearize, that is the ultimate goal here and it was broadly thought that releasing the detainees was a

precondition to really start those negotiations, a sign of good faith. it comes on the heels of president trump announcing he's pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. of course that just happened yesterday. so the question everyone is asking, how can north korea trust the u.s. when the u.s. pulled out of that international agreement? officials here say they are going to get a better deal with north korea. savannah. >> let's turn to our chief global correspondent bill neely covering it this morning. the president said the detainees appeared to be in good health and you had talked about earlier on "today" how this was perhaps going to be an expression of good faith, good will and that american officials did not want the release to be some kind of negotiating tactic once the too two leaders actually sit down. >> exactly, clearly this is a confidence building measure by the north koreans, it's hard to see how that summit could go ahead with three u.s. men, whether they were in a hotel or

chopping bricks up in a labor camp. effectively as bargaining chips, mike pompeo was in pyongyang with around a dozen u.s. officials and had talks and lunch at the hotel with one of kim jong-un's top officials. it would appear from the tweet he also met kim jong-un. pompeo telling that official, you've been a great partner in working towards a successful summit between kim and president trump and pompeo's priorities not just the release of those hostages but to set the table for those nuclear talks. as kristen pointed out, we now know the date and place are set. on the three hostages, this had been sentenced to years of hard labor for allegedly spying and other offenses. they were prisoners. we don't know what health they are in but of course releases are haunted by the fate of otto warmbi

warmbier, the american student who was released and days later died. his family suing kim jong-un's regime for murder. good news and that plane in the air and they are expected to land somewhere in the united states in the next few hours. savannah? >> bill neely, thank you. to recap the news, the couple of pieces of news coming out from president trump himself via twitt twitter, noupsing three men who had been held in north korea, american men have been released. they are in the company of secretary of state right now in an airplane on their way back to the u.s., they'll land at 2:00 a.m. eastern time and the president plans to meelt them there at the airport and also says a date and time has been set, date and place for the meeting between kim jong-un and president trump. we have a lot more. for a wrap up tonight on nightly news, most will return to "today." sh i'm savannah guthrie in new york. >> as we break for that special report, three americans freed, it will be really interesting to
