7:04 am
department press briefing for the very first time and he floated an idea, saying the trump administration is open to dialogue with north korea and it is not seeking regime change. >> we're trying to convey to the north koreans, we are not your enemy. we are not your threat. but you are presenting an unacceptable threat to us. and we have to respond. and we hope that at some point they will begin to understand that and that we would like to sit and have a dialogue with them about the future that will give them the security they seek and the future economic prosperity for north korea. >> we're learning more about how north korea's recent missile test came dangerously close to an air france jet. the missile landed in the sea of japan where a plane with hundreds of people aboard had flown by just minutes earlier. kris van cleave is here with new concerns about the safety of passenger planes. kris, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. air france insists there was no danger from the falling missile, but the relatively close encounter with a commercial

airliner is raising new questions, not just about north korea's future threat to foreign nations, but its current potential danger to planes in flight. pentagon officials say the latest missile test by north korea presented the biggest potential threat yet, perhaps capable of hitting the u.s. mainland as far away as new york. and even though it was an unarmed missile, it still put civilians in harm's way. >> they absolutely are creating danger to commercial airspace. >> reporter: at 9:55 eastern time friday morning, air france flight 293 took off from tokyo headed to paris. then about 45 minutes later, north korea launched its missile, which climbed to more than 2,000 miles into the air. while the missile was in flight, so was the air france jet, with 332 people onboard. the plane's flight path took it about 100 miles off the coast of japan, the same area where the missile landed some ten minutes later. air france issued a statement saying north korea's missile test zones do not interfere in

7:09 am
about what happened. >> reporter: president trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, who also was at the meeting with the russian lawyer, denied collusion with the russians saying the campaign was too disorganized. he joked with congressional interns monday saying we barely could collude with our field offices in different states. the president's legal team, which has had its fair share of turnover is still trying to build a cohesive approach with communication about mr. trump and white house activities. clearly, margaret, there is more work to do. >> major, thanks. wall street hit a new milestone this morning.

8:03 am
>> he did not sign off on it or see it? >> i wasn't on the airplane but my understanding was that this was completely done and the president was coming back from the g-20 as this was coming on as you know. so my understanding is that very clearly that this was donald trump jr. and his lawyers put together segment serving the interest of their clients. so i understand what they did and the president was not involved in that. >> the president's involvement may attract the attention of special council robert mueller. >> the dow jones industrial average just reached a new milestone. the index hit the 22,000 mark for the first time after this morning's opening bell. the dow was up more than 11% this year and the president tweeted yesterday warning stock market could hit all time high again. cbs news financial contributor is in chicago. good morning. >> past presidents have been

>> he's a filmmaker. >> i guess we all know from the wonderful "get out" this year. i just want everybody to know that peele directed "get out." i promise i will not take the credit, even though -- love your work, man. that movie was great. it wasn't me! but i'll take the thanks. >> and keanu. >> i saw you last night. i went to the show. >> thank you. >> you do inject in what is very dense text, moments of levity and lightness. how do you do that when it's a four-hour sustained play? that must be a heavy lift of an act. >> i think what our director sam gold told us to do was first of all, in his opinion, the best versions of hamlet he's ever seen have always been the funniest versions, the ones with the most humor. hamlet is such a man of mental
8:45 am
adroitness that a person who's that smart has to have humor somewhere within them. so we wanted to infuse humor into the dna of this particular production so that you don't feel the four hours. because i think very often the more specific you are, very often the funnier something gets. even if you don't mean it to be funny. the more specific, the more honed in the language is, the more you find humor in it or go, oh, that was a clever turn of phrase. so by the time you get to the real deep, dark stuff at the end, you're not feeling trodden or it doesn't feel laidn en to you. you don't go, oh, dosh, everybody died. >> how long did it take you to do that in sort of translating this text? >> a lot of it was i used to get fr in trouble during rehearsal for being too shakespearean. what they wanted, what the director really wanted from

everybody, i want your version of horacio. i want keegan horacio. don't put any loftiness on it. >> so you didn't watch anybody else. >> no, didn't watch anybody else. i confess, i was shooting a movie in vancouver. maybe i watched one at once. but there's an earnestness you can kiebnd of wash over the character. he didn't want that. he goes, i want a very specific midwestern detroit keegan hamlet. >> does it make it easier? >> yes, it does, because his language -- he makes the language so accessible and so contemporary that you just feel like you're doing a 21st century play. that's part of oscar's talent. maybe you felt this way last night. you're like, are they still doing shakespeare? i know a lot of people go -- i'm
8:47 am
understanding this, so it can't be shakespeare. why am i understanding this? so it makes it easier. he makes it so accessible. it makes you -- it allows you to feel the emotions kbrouyou want feel because everything is happening. it doesn't feel remote. it doesn't feel 400 years old. >> now that you've done horacio, you think you can do hamlet? >> yeah, i feel like i can. i'm learning the lines. watch out, oscar. no, i'm learning the lines as i go. every night the familiarity makes it less formidable. >> let's talk about friends from college. what i think a lot of people will find really interesting about this, it's an ensemble piece, but it's very diverse. if you look at the poster there, it's very diverse. that race is not a factor. race and ethnicity is not a factor at all in how these group of friends interact with each other. >> is sex a factor? >> i'm naked in the very first scene of the first episode. sex is very much a factor. you know what it is, it's

just -- and we try to do this in "key&peele" too. it's a human story. we were trying to tell human stories. my big thing is always tell human stories, and if you happen to have melanin in your skin, terrific. that's what everyone is going to relate to. i want everyone to be able to watch and glean something from everything i do. it's not a black piece or a hispanic piece. but there are things that you learn from the textures of other cultures. but it's just people trying to get through in the world. it's people trying to get through in the ts dinner, he was breaking. >> was that the night -- >> that was the year prior.
