>> morgan: good evening. i'm demarco morgan. we have breaking news tonight. president george h.w. bush has been hospitalized in maine. a spokesperson for the 41st president said he has been admitted to southern maine health care near his summer home in kennebunkport, after experiencingod pressure and fatigue.lo b ljust yesterday, mr. bush met with veterans at a pancake breakfast at a american legion post. the 93-year-old has been battling health problems in recent years. bush was hospitalized for 13 days in april, after his wife, former first lady barbara bush, died. he was anxious to get to maine and travel as soon as he received the medical clearance to do so. his spokesman says bush is awake and alert and not in any discomfort, as he will likely remain there for a few days for observation. residents of the southeast are bracing for the first named storm of the season. currently, alberto is a sub- tropical storm, but is getting stronger as it travels up the gulf of mexico. the storm is expected to make landfall early tomorrow. here is tony dokoupil.

>> reporter: beach weather and the beginning of summer turned to soaking rain and flash floods in miami this weekend as a large swath of the southeastern united states braced for alberto. the subtropical storm, already battering the florida coast, is expected to strengthen into a tropical depression, with sustained winds of 50 miles per hour, and rainfall in some areas as high as 25 inches. the governors of florida, mississippi and alabama have declared states of emergency ahead of an expected two- to four-foot storm surge, and rough surf for hundreds of miles. in sarasota, florida, residents are stocking up on sandbags to protect their homes, as not only tropical storm alberto, but the entire 2018 hurricane season looms on the horizon. >> this is a reminder that we live in an area that gets threatened by hurricanes, and rain is a big factor when it comes to tropical systems. so you need to be prepared.

>> we're getting into hurricane season. >> reporter: florida governor rick scott: >> all of us have to continue to follow the weather in the next few days.e 'll get a significant amount of rain, we have a chance of severe flooding. everybody needs to get prepared. >> reporter: after alberto makes landfall sometime around dawn, it could push heavy rain as far north as virginia, but demarco, the significant threat of flood is in georgia and alabama, where unfortunately some memorial day events have already been cancelled. >> morgan: unfortunate indeed. tony dokoupil reporting, tony, thank you. meteorologist craig setzer has been tracking alberto, and he joins us from our miami affiliate, wfor. craig? >> reporter: demarco, we are seeing the storm continuing to move to the north and northwest today, in the eastern gulf of mexico. and as impressive as it looks on satellite here, it's really sped up, it really hasn't gotten a lot stronger. storm is pretty big, sprawling across much of florida and into the western atlantic ocean, but really, that's where the stormy weather has been, away from the center today. this big band of showers and

thunderstorms moving to the north, some gusty winds as well. lot of tropical moisture so this is going to be a big rainmaker for the southeast, tonight, tomorrow and even into the middle part of the week. the center is going to continue to move northwest overnight tonight, make landfall somewhere in the florida panhandle during the day tomorrow. and all that tropical moisture comes up with it. heavy rainfall expected through the carolinas, eastern georgia and south florida as well, and near the center where it makes landfall, significant flooding is possible. four to eight inches of rain there, with the center coming on shore there and that torrential rainfall. in terms of winds, tropical storm force winds, 40 miles an hour or greater. it's possible as we go through the night tonight and the day tomorrow that the winds will slowly decrease. and demarco, of course, we can't rule out the possibility of isolated tornadoes. >> morgan: meteorologist craig setzer, craig, thank you. more positive signs the cancelled summit between the u.s. and north korea could be back on. the u.s. delegation is meeting with north korean officials inside the demilitarized zone, and president trump seems optimistic. mola lenghi is at the white house, where the president is spending the memorial day weekend.

>> reporter: while president trump played golf on sunday, a team of u.s. negotiators were meeting in north korea in an effort to revive the summit between president trump and north korean dictator kim jong- un that the president canceled thursday. >> a lot of people are working on it. >> reporter: speaking about the summit late saturday night, president trump put june 12 back in his sights. >> it's moving along very nicely, so we're looking at june 12 in singapore. that hasn't changed. and, it's moving along pretty well. so we'll see what happens. >> reporter: south korean president moon jae-in said sunday that kim committed to complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula during their surprise meeting in the d.m.z. on saturday. but some lawmakers, including some of the president's allies, remain skeptical. >> my suspicion remains that he is going to try to get as much sanctions relief as possible without having to give up his weapons. and i think it's going to be a lot of twists and turns along the way to try to get there, if

it's even possible. >> reporter: u.s. officials have dangled the possibility of making economic concessions to the north if the regime fully denuclearizes. but former c.i.a. director michael hayden worries there's not enough time for the president to prepare. >> kim jong-un knows his program inside and out. i think he knows what he can concede and what it means, and what he cannot concede. i don't know that the president has done the kind of homework that would allow him to do this. >> reporter: while u.s. diplomats continue their talks with the north, kim jong-un and president moon jae-in have agreed to meet again on june 1, and generals from both sides will also meet separately to discuss easing military tensions. demarco? >> morgan: mola lenghi at the white house, mola, thank you. all right, joining us now is margaret brennan, moderator of "face the nation." margaret, this morning, the will-they-won't-they summit between the u.s. and north korea remains in doubt. the president's lawyer, rudy giuliani, said this morning kim jong-un "wants to do it" and that mr. trump's strategy "played out brilliantly."

is the white house banking on a last-minute charge into singapore? >> reporter: well, it appears the white house is full steam ahead with the planning for this summit. we know that u.s. diplomats were meeting with north korean officials today, this just after the south korean and north korean leaders met yesterday. so, the wheels are in motion. the question is what can actually be achieved? but what they can do is possibly get the summit to happen and a face-to-face conversation to begin. and it looks like president trump really wants that to take place june 12. >> morgan: yesterday, we got the chance to see the release of an american, joshua holt, who was held for two years in a venezuelan prison. he was handed over after high- level talks between president nicolas maduro and u.s. lawmakers. what does president trump gain by bringing an american like him home? >> reporter: president trump campaigned on this idea of bringing home americans who are held prisoner or hostage abroad, and he says he's not getting credit for it. he said that yesterday in the oval office. we know in this particular case of joshua holt that it was a

surprising positive development to have this release occur in a week when it was otherwise a tough one between the u.s. and venezuela. the administration tightened sanctions, really condemned their election, calling it a "false election" that elected maduro to yet another term. so this back channel that u.s. lawmakers carried out with the trump administration's blessing is perhaps a sign of hope. in the words of senator bob corker, there may be people that president trump can deal with. but hard-liners like senator marco rubio, who was on "face the nation," say this is just not enough-- the prisoner shouldn't have been taken in the first place. >> morgan: all right, margaret brennan in washington. margaret, thank you. in hawaii, lava from the kilauea volcano has entered the property of the geothermal plant on the big island. officials say it is now within 200 yards of the nearest well. they also say if the lava does reach the wells, they have been capped to help protect against the release of toxic gas. 2,000 people have been evacuated after nearly two dozen fissures

million times since being live- streamed on facebook. >> ( speaking spanish ) >> reporter: martinez directs paramedics to gomez's body, lying feet away from her property. >> ma'am, i'm going to tell you right now, if you interfere, you'll be arrested. >> reporter: border patrol originally said its agent "came under attack by multiple subjects using blunt objects." two days later, they stated the "agent was allegedly assaulted" after "ignoring his verbal commands and instead rushed him." the agency's initial statement also referred to gonzalez as an "assailant". but in the revised account, border patrol only refers to her as "a member of the group." although the video doesn't start rolling until after the initial encounter, it does show two men walking away with one border patrol agent without a struggle. gonzalez's death has prompted international response from guatamalen officials who are working closely with her family. gilberto gomez questions why his daughter was shot, and is pleading with u.s. officials to

release her body. a vigil for gonzalez was held saturday night in texas and another one is scheduled this week in sacramento, california. for now, the unnamed agent involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave, demarco. >> morgan: mireya villareal reporting, mireya, thank you. well, some very special tributes this memorial day weekend. thousands of motorcyclists rode into washington d.c., as part of rolling thunder's 31st annual "ride for freedom." and at the fredericksburg national cemetery, boy and girl scouts helped remember the soldiers buried there by putting a candle at over 15,000 grave sites. from animal sculptures to interactive screens, the new hospital that prides itself on comforting kids as they are been treated. and seattle's space needle jumps into the future, with a very pricey "space-lift." jumps into the future with a very pricey space lift.
