( steve ) north korea is at it again tonight. it launched yet another missile.... reportedly from the capital. south korea says this one flew over japan...that's the second time in recent weeks a missile from the north has gone over the country. the launch comes

just hours after north korea responded to united nations sanctions by threatening to "sink" japan and reduce the united states to "ash and darkness." ir it's not just people and houses that were devastated byhurricane irma, farming is also taking a big hit, another attempt to smuggle drugs... gets one volkswagondriver busted in a big way. and san jose is the latest city to offer legal resistance to the president's decision on daca. live look at the crowd gathering in berkeley....

donald trump fired up his base during the campaign by promising to take on immigration if elected. but last night... word came of a deal with democrats over daca from our partners at c-n-n, emily schmidt reports from washington -- things get less clear when the potential deal gets down to the details. over an unlikely white house menu pairing of chinese food and chocolate pie, an unlikely trio of president donald trump, and democrats chuck schumer and nancy pelosi said they came up with a way to an immigration plan about the so-called "dreamers" all could find palatable.rep. nancy pelosi/-d- minority leader: "we agreed to a plan, a plan to work out an agreement to

protect our dreamers from deportation." so, it seemed, a deal--to bring daca---the deferred action for childhood arrivals program---into law, by eventually agreeing to grant legal status to the undocumented immigrants brought to the us as children---while upping border security. democrats also said--that security would not include looking at building the president's border wall. but then the president tweeted--no deal was made at the meeting and the wall will continue to be built. he elaborated in florida president donald trump: "we're not looking at citizenship or amnesty. we're looking at allowing people to stay here.//ultimately we have to have the wall. if we don't have the wall we're doing nothing."so, no deal? sen. chuck schumer/-d- minority leader: "we have reached an understanding on this issue. we have to work out details." rep. paul ryan/-r- house speaker: "it was a discussion, not an agrement or negotiation." some in the president's base warn of the political dangers of a deal that seems to go against presidential promises to be tough on immigration.voice of rep. steve king/-r- iowa: "the base will leave him. they, they won't be able to defend him anymore." while as the debate continues, nearly 800- thousand dreamers wait to see if this is a real deal....to keep them in the us.in washington, i'm emily schmidt.

meanwhile... a couple of northern california counties have declared themselves "dreamers counties." santa cruz county and monterey county both made the move on tuesday. they are likely the first counties in the nation to make the declaration. a monterey county supervisor says, the move sends a message to undocumented immigrants... that the county is going to fight for them... and adds, it is also a way for the lcoal government to encourage members of congress to act. the designation came before democrats announced an apparent deal on daca with president trump. (pam 2-shot) eighteen states and the district of columbia have filed lawsuits against the trump administration over its decision to rescind daca. (steve) now as, as kron four's rob fladeboe reports, san jsoe has become the first

city to do so. a week ago san jose mayor sam liccardo hinted of legal action to protect daca recipients in san jose and today he announced the city has done just that.sam liccardo/san jose mayor ".....we have filed a lawsuit against the trump administration and we are declaring to the tens of thousands of daca recipients in our city that we have got your backs...."in it's suit san jose claims the trump administrations decision to end daca is unconstitutional and that the city is uniquely and directly harmed because many daca recipients provide public safety and and other services critical to the community.poncho guevarra/sacred heart community services".....we are going to persevere and we are going to demand that our elected leaders take action like they did today and say we need to protect our community..." richard konda/asian law alliance "....we have been super busy since the trump administration announced this and we are trying to help daca recipients

complete their renewal applications..."thought to be the first city in the country to file suit over daca, the lawsuit also claims that the city's workforce will be harmed if daca is ended because it is already stretched thin with hundreds of vacancies at city hall.rick doyle/san jose city attorney "....we are hopeful there will be a legislative solution but judging from the president's remarks this morning there does not appear to be a deal so we are back to the courts to protect individual rights.....'in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 newsjose city ".....we are ( steve ) president trump and vice president mike pence saw first-hand today the devastation from hurricane irma. the two stopped in naples, florida and met with survivors of the deadly storm. the president said he wanted to see the recovery effort for himself. it is just getting started... millions of people remain without power and many

neighborhoods remain flooded. sweltering temperatures have only made matters worse a may have played a role in the deaths of at least eight people at a nursing home. ( steve ) something we will be keeping a close eye on in the coming weeks is the price of oranges and orange juice. irma did significant damage to florida's citrus crop. officials are estimating about 75-percent of this year's crop is destroyed. some farmers may have lost their entire crop when irma roared through the state. this would be a staggering blow to the florida's economy... citrus accounts for about 8-billion dollars a year. farmers are asking for help in the form of tax relief. let's take a look outside right now... the golden gate bridge..
