so air china comes in and helps him out with this plane that's going to be reliable. nd it, i think, happened to be a boeing. what does this say about china's influence on kim jong-un? that he had to turn to them at this moment and they were there to help him? >> china does remain the economic life line for north korea. and i actually look at this a little bit differently. when i looked at that picture and i saw kim jong-un on the cover of the main party paper, the main newspaper in north korea, and they did show very clearly that air china plane, which is a 747, which has star alliance logo on it. so i know, i was in north korea last year, and one of the things the north koreans were asking me, what's happening with the relationship between our country and china? they were very concerned. they look at their state media and saying, we're reading between the lines and we sense some tension. by showing pictures of him in that plane, he's reassuring his people, china still loves me, we are on better terms now. but also dangling the prospect of broader economic engagement

he arrived here d-afteoon, interestingly, on a borrowed air china plane. he was greeted by singapore's foreign minister. and he has brought almost the entire north korean leadership with him. and that is really significant because they are collectively therefore taking the risk by having a summit with donald trump. so the man who we saw meeting donald trump in the white house is there. the head of the army, the foreign minister, kim's own sister, a senior member of the public bureau herself, they are all here. then kim went in his trademarked black limousine, which we last saw in the summit with president moon inside korea, went through the streets, the north korean flags on the herd, gold seal of office on the side of that limousine with tinted windows. and inside the hotel, we saw the 12 north korean bodyguards running alongside his limousine leaving for the meeting with the south korean prime minister lee. tomorrow, we don't know what he's doing, we have no agenda, and that is perfectly normal for the north koreans. we have never had a timetable or itin

hours ago but he arrived not on a north korean airliner but one provided by china's government the air chinaseven four seven flew into singapore it flew most of the time almost half the journey through chinese airspace that was because china was able to say look we can guarantee your safety your security for almost half of that journey and of course what this demonstrated was that china does have some influence when it comes to north korea and it really illustrated also that china has actually prayed a significant role in ensuring that this. the summit is taking place now during the talks that are taking place at the a standard which is the sort of presidential building here in singapore we've heard the singapore prime minister say to kim jong un that he's welcome here and in return the north korean leader has said that he's grateful for what singapore has done because singapore according to the prime minister here has spent something like fifteen million u.s. dollars half of it on security to ensure this summit takes place that's a big investment by the singaporeans and is a reminder of cou

he arrived on an air china plane. ying it's fine for them to talk about being a peace treaty, but an editorial saying if there is a peace treaty negotiated that doesn't include chie gnat the the table they will nullify it. and how tuned in are people to this meeting? >> they're very tuned in and there is some anxiety. they want there to be progress and for things to finally push beyond, but they're looking at issues that might be different from those from an american perspective. they want to know if they're going to be family reunions and whether there can be just a ratchets down of the tension that has defined things here for decades. most of all, president moon jae in is looking to score some political progress as well. he's had a halo effect over the process to this point. it was his olympic fall that led to the meeting with kim in april. that also is the ground work for this meeting that he'll have with president trump. so he wants to do his best to preserve it so that he doesn't lose any political ground because

tom: we had air china, the flagship carrier, flying kim over from singapore -- from pyongyang to singaporeng 747 touching down. it was formally used by the bureau standing committee in china. that was a message they are supporting north korea. we have seen two meetings between president xi and kim in china, really an about-face in terms of relations between beijing and pyongyang, which have been frosty. don't forget it was kim who executed an uncle close to the chinese and also alleged to have assassinated his half-brother, also with ties to china. of course china has been crucial in implemented tough sanctions that have been detrimental to north korea. so the relations between beijing and pyongyang cert too a turn for the worse but have been rapidly repaired at least superficially as a result of the meetings in china and the support you are seeing on the ground in singapore from the likes of air china and the boeing 747. we expect that to continue. china does not have the appetite to implement further sanctions should these stocks deteriorate. that is not a position that china seems willi

sure earlier this afternoon kim jong own arrived here in singapore airport on an air china flights he then went on to meet the south. singaporean singaporean prime minister they sat down and talked for around thirty minutes kim jong un thanked the prime minister of singapore for hosting this summit for organizing the summit obviously on a very short notice the prime minister congratulated kim jong un on what he said was a bold step that he took to to come here and to agree to this summit and then went to his hotel here in singapore and later in the evening air force one arrived with donald trump he also went to his hotel turn a different hotel of course security around both of these venues and around of course the venue where the summit will take place on tuesday is extremely high here in singapore now having said that seeing a poor of course there is always a lot of police around it's always a very secure place to be which is also one of the reasons why the summit actually took place here so that's where we stand right now tomorrow president trump is going to meet with the prime mini

the call, for instance, that kim jong-un arrived in rented the 747, air china. certainly not air force one. and then the decision for air force one to arrive at the singaporean air force base. and air china 747 at the commercial airport there. do we have any back ground on any of this? or is this just as a way of learning it, we're learning it? >> reporter: i think you could say, perhaps, the white house wants to put a little bit of distance between its arrival and kim jong-un's rivaarrivrivaarr . i say looking at the pictures they look similar. the beast, as you call it is a high-performance vehicle, can withstand just about everything. to the casual observer it will look very much like the stretch mercedes that kim jong-un arrived in. in terms of optics, perhaps kim jong-un is desperate to appear donald trump equal. just going back to that summit with president moon in south korea, you remember the 90 choreography, you remember when they mets at the dmz, they crossed the line. and then kim jong-un pulled president moon back into north korea. that was an unscrip

on top of that i know kim jong-un's mode of transport to singapore has been with air china.se are very keen to continue to reinforce a message through the symbols to the international diplomatic community and the americans that kim jong-un is their ally and nobody else's. if y will make any strategic moves, he will do so in concert with beijing and not sell china's strategic interests down the tube. that is the message being sent. as always.easure president of the asian society policy institute and former prime minister of australia joining us from guangzhou. you can catch up on all of this going on. go to tliv to get commentary and analysis from bloomberg expert editors. plenty of analysis. that is all coming up. something of an understatement, we are in for a hectic few days. bank of america calling it the most important week of the year for investors. this is bloomberg. ♪ this is bloomberg. ♪ the big story is the summit in singapore. not to be discarded, major central bank eating, a deluge of eco-data. there are clues to growth and inflation in the top three economie

interestingly, it's an air china aircraft. air korea, doesn't have aircraft that are capable of reaching singapore. so diplomatically beijing appears to have lent kim jong un and air china a plane. singapore is known as a very secure state. and security preparations are well under way, concrete barriers are being put down on streets here. the island where this will, the summit will take place, santosa island is being locked down and there are restrictions, security zones, there will be air restrictions over singapore at the time of the summit itself. and we think that the two leaders are due to arrive here tomorrow evening. we believe air force one will touch down here at some point tomorrow evening. so far, so good, alex. so much detail. you know what we don't have any detail about really, is the summit itself. you know, what's the agenda? don't know what are they going to talk about? don't know. there's a lot of speculation of course. what constitutes success? what will happen at the end? are they going to have one meeting or

out of air force one, landed at the air base and walked out by himself when kim jong-un arrived on air china flights, he was surrounded by an entourage, a big group, we are told that kim jong-un took a 747 to match the president's air force one, also flying with air china shows solidarity with the nebi f chinese,these it is a big deal for the north koreans and then on the streets, at least so far from kim jong-un, we have seen these scenes we have seen before and that is him in the armored vehicle and then his body guards running next to him on the street. that's quite a site. >> brennan: jeff thank you, jeff glor the there this, there in so i think pore. we turn now to cbs news foreign correspondent ben tracy, he is also in singapore this morning with a look at how this much anticipated summit came together. ben. >> margaret, nearly 3,000 journalists have descended upon singapore to cover this historic summit and with both president trump and kim jong-un now on the ground here, security is noticeably tighter. >> the the hotels where president trump and kim jong-un are staying have been turn

he flew down here on an air china jet. an air china plane is going to singapore.be kim jong-un is on the plane and he stops in beijing? >> interesting. interesting. okay. matt rivers, thank you. just said that sanctions relief is possible and kim jong-un may fly to china first before returning home. >> thanks for joining us. >> john berman is live in singapore. allison come rata live in new york. sh "new day" starts right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. this is "new day." tuesday, june 12th. alisyn camerota in new york. i'm john berman here in singapore. the summit is over. the pictures were historic results, they are very much in question. president trump, he just boarded air force one on his way home after wrapping up a one hour and five minute news conference facing questions about what was actually achieved here. he called the meetings with kim jong-un intense and productive, yet he learned no new real language on denuclearization and he surprised the world announcing just

with regard to the air china, that is china's flag carrier. basically she jixi jing ping isg to president trump, look, kim jong-un is my vasyl. you better not hurt him. with regard to that mercedes, kim jong-un engages in gift politics like his father and grandfather. that's the giving of luxury items to senior regime elements to buy their loyalty. two things are given, you know, really important. rolex watches and mercedes. north korea buys mercedes in hundreds. so that is significant that he actually arrived in that particular brand of german car. >> and cor vause yea apparently. he h but what else have they built in north korea or what have they built? 60 nuclear weapons, brian. nd rockets aimed at seoul. a chemical weapons program that was used to kill his own brother, a biological weapons program. i think the real important yardstick of tonight and the diplomacy that will unfold and the press conference we're probably here at about 4:00 a.m. eastern is will the north kores give up these weapons that will threaten the united states and our

also in singapore gearing up for the highly anticipated summit arrived a few hours earlier on an air china plane. and the place where kim jong un is staying has been kept a closely guarded secret but reporters spotted guards in suits escorting a. arriving at the st regis hotel. hotel for a meeting with. arrived in singapore after leaving the g. seven summit in canada early the two day meeting was marked by rifts between the u.s. and other members as tensions flared over critical international issues. i would rather see russia in. the g. eight as opposed to the i would say that the g. eight is a. seven. happen . the problem. is absolutely clear that. if there is be any conversation. relation. to. the root of the. shortly after leaving the g seven trump tweeted the u.s. was abandoning its endorsement of the summer joint communiqué the accused to the canadian prime minister of making false statements over u.s. tariffs creating another sticking point between the states justin trudeau described the reasoning behind the tariffs as frankly insulting a response trump went on to describe as dishone

hours earlier, the air china 747 carrying kim jong-un landed at the commercial airport and it is only the fourth time out of north korea for kim jong-un since he took power. the for this trip since he took over in 2011 and his motorcade flanked, at times, by a jogging security team, snaked through the steeds -- the streets. the upcoming meeting affects the security of the region in the world, they said. the trump administration's goal is to get pyongyang to shutdown the nuclear program, which they say is capable of striking the u.s. and decimating the korean peninsula. >> we have to get denuclearization. >> reporter: speaking from the g7 on saturday, president donald trump said he will use his instincts when he becomes the first sitting president to meet with the north korean leader. >> this is the leader who really is an unknown personality. people don't know much about him. i think that he is going to surprise on the upside. we are going in with a positive attitude and i think we will come out fine. but, i've said it many times -- who knows? who knows? it may not work out. a good ch

that it's not their problem but the a solution to the problem and even the simple gesture of using air china airplane you suggest of coming to help china objective is to tell the world that we are not creating a problem we are here to solve them and so far so good and if they get what they want i should imagine it's economically beneficial for all. of course of course it's beneficial for all let's not forget china has a strong interest in that what they call it the new silk road initiative but also closer ties with russia let's not forget that china has now declared to be an arctic power and so the north arctic rule to for shipping is going to be open over the next a few years not quite yet that will take some times of but china now will be closer in their relationship with russia for investment in the northern siberia and at the same time countries in europe or even the one i come from i come from italy we are looking at a closer relationship with russia perhaps a real discussion and maybe lifting the sanctions against the russia and again china is again being seen as a people to role in he

over the years, so much so that he has to travel here in a plane that had been loaned to him by air china perhaps there is the potential for something to happen, but it will have to begin with a personal relationship. as of the moment, they will have to wait and see whether donald kim jong-un. jane: christian come i'm transfixed by those pictures of kim jong-un, because like the rest of the world,t his is the fime we have seen him close. but is there a chance that he is upstaging donald trump? t correspondent: ts always -- christian: that has always been that he is upstaging the american side. it is of enormous propaganda value. his grandfather, father -- he is achieving something they did not. maybe they will play this on ele for many years, how they brought the great north american power to heal. theill be the story for next three days and months to come here to there have been come as mike pompeo said before, plenty of agreements, plenty of agreements by the north korean side. it is what they have and where it is. jane: christian fraser in singapore, thankch you very of course, christi

in singapore gearing up for the highly anticipated summit here arrived a few hours earlier on an air china plane the meeting will be the first ever face to face contact between the u.s. president and the leader of north korea. trump arrived in singapore after leaving the g. seven summit in canada. the two day meeting was marked by a huge rift between the u.s. and other members as tensions flared over critical international issues. i would rather see russia in the g.a.a. as opposed to the jew so i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely. here we all agreed to return to the g seven format summits can happen until substantial progress has been made in connection with the problems with ukraine canada's position is absolutely clear that there are no grounds whatsoever for bringing russia with its current behavior into the. if there is be any conversations about russia's future in relation to this particular group they have to change their ways they have to change the route that they're taking and the sort of activity. involved in. or shortly after leavi

an air china 747 carrying kim jong un landed at singapore's commercial airport.th korea for kim since he took power, his farthest trip since 2011. his motorcade snaked through the streets delivering kim to singapore's prime minister who said the young leader's upcoming meeting with president trump affects the security of the region and the world. the trump administration's goal? get pyongyang to shut down its nuclear program, which it says is capable of striking the united states and decimating the korean peninsula. >> we have to get denuclearization. >> reporter: on saturday speaking from the g7 president trump said he'll use his instincts when he becomfit sitt a north korean leader. >> this is a leader who really is an personality. people don't know much about him. i think that he's going to surprise on the up side. i'm going in with a very positive attitude and i think we're going to come out fine, but i've said it many times. who knows? who knows? may not, may not work out. it's a good chance it won't work out. it's probably an even better chance that it will

here, maybe make a trip to the minibar, and off to the airport where air china 747 is on its way fromng to pick up, presumably, the same aircraft, take him to pyongyang. the summit, i am going to go out on a limb, is over. we will hear from donald trump and it is the details. the devil is in the details of what has been promised. i am assuming they gave some security guarantees. we do not know how much kim jong-un has talked about denuclearization. earlier on, when the cameras were rolling, we did hear someone from the u.s. side ask kim jong-un a question or something related to denuclearization. he did not answer and when donald trump was asked, did you make progress on denuclearization? he was asked that reportedly, shouted by various reporters, and he did not answer. saying wait until the press conference. that is what we will do. patiently waiting for those details. a: you have been skeptic. he said you would be impressed. have you changed your mind? a skeptic.am not i am a journalist. i have lived in asia nearly 30 years, 28 years. i have heard promises made and promises broken.

here to singapore we think it will be landing in just over ten hours time can also tell you the air china jet that's left pyongyang we think that's the one that's got supreme leader kim on it he we think will arrive a little before trump we're tracking the movements of these two leaders very closely indeed of course we'll come back to james once we have more news thank you let's head over. now to north korea's closest ally china it's not been invited to take part in the singapore summit but as florence louis reports beijing's influence is already obvious. welcome to dandong city on the chinese border with north korea here you get a sense of china's relationship with its neighbor a large part of it driven by trade chinese goods flow across the border although international sanctions have slow this down somewhat china has long been a close ally of north korea siding with the north in the korean war in one nine hundred fifty and then providing it with political and economic backing since. in recent years the north korea's pursuit of nuclear arms accelerated under its young leader kim jong un

hours ago but he arrived not in a north korean airliner but one provided by china's government the air china seven four seven flew into singapore it flew most of the time almost half the journey through chinese airspace that was because china was able to say look we can guarantee your safety your security for almost half of that journey and of course what this demonstrated was that china does have some influence when it comes to north korea and it really illustrated also that china has actually prayed a significant role in ensuring that this summit is taking place now during the talks that are taking place at the istana which is the sort of presidential building here in singapore we've heard the singapore prime minister say to kim jong un that he's welcome here and in return the north korean leader has said that he's grateful for what singapore has done because singapore according to the prime minister here has spent something like fifteen million u.s. dollars half of it on security to ensure this summit takes place that's a big investment by the singaporeans and is a reminder of course they

in singapore gearing up for the highly anticipated summit you arrived a few hours earlier on an air china plane. and the place where kim jong un is staying has been kept a closely guarded secret but reporters spotted guards in suits escorting a north korean flag to mercedes limousine arriving at the st regis hotel kim and his. have since been seen entering and leaving the hotel for a meeting with the singapore prime minister lee. arrived in singapore after leaving the g. seven summit in canada early the two day meeting was marked by a huge rift between the u.s. and other members as tensions flared over critical international issues. i would rather see russia in. the g. eight as opposed to the g seven i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven. over. here we all agree. can happen. but the problem. is absolutely clear that. behave here. if there is be any conversations about russia's future in relation to this particular group they have to. change the route of the taking. in both. well shortly after leaving the meeting trump through twitter abandoned his endors

korean leader arrived not in an airliner from north korea but one provided by china's government the air china seven four seven touching down in singapore just after two thirty pm local time it's significant that he came of course on a chinese aircraft because that demonstrates jane that actually china does still have some influence over north korea and of course it demonstrates also that actually china has they played a significant role in ensuring that kim jong un gets to this summit on time now he was met at the airport by singapore's foreign minister and these two to meet the prime minister of singapore later on the sun afternoon for a bilateral the singapore prime minister spoke to the media here before the north korean leader arrived he said that the cost of this summit for north korea was about fifteen million u.s. dollars but he said that that was a price that singapore was prepared to pay even though singapore had not asked to host this summer it's a reminder of course that singapore has very deep pockets and it's interesting to imagine what the north korean leader must have thought a

. >> you may have well noticed when kim stepped off the plane he was coming off an air china 747 thatvided by beijing and the analysts are saying it was sending a message saying we have your back from china. china has a lot at stake even if you say not an active partnership papt in the talks that is going to take mace, pause if these talks fail, thin there is the heightened risk on china's border. if they succeed, there is a risk that pyongyang is drawn closer. so there are those aspects to consider and kim jong un doesn't have the aircraft to have made to scrourny from pyongyang singapore safely. hence the need. it's the same plane that president xi uses. so the symbolism is there, chipe saying, we are supporting you and saying to the rest of the world we are having some influence as these talks get under way in singapore. >> what is the desired outcome. what would beijing be hoping for? >> the scenario for beijing would be to see reduced tensions and a drawdown of u.s. troops in south korea. pyongyang's void flipping. and in terms of any successful summit, beijing will want to be in

sightseeing and taking selfies with singapore's foreign minister, after landing at an american-made air china jet, just his third trip outside the country as leader, reportedly sending out decoy planes, even bringing his own food and toilet. now the stage set for the biggest diplomatic meeting in a generation. president trump arriving sunday. sounding confident. that meeting only hours away inside a luxury island resort. the two men expected to shake hands for the world's cameras before meeting one on one. the only other people in the room, translators. the president saying he'll size up the north korean dictator within seconds. >> how long will it take? i think within the first minute i'll know. >> how? >> just my touch, my feel. that's what i do. i think that very quickly i'll kn whether or not something good is going to happen. >> it's a high-stakes mission. is kim jong-un, who's threatened the world, firing 23 missiles last year, even detonating a ve u huclear for ally ready to economic aid and security assurances? >> north korea has previously confirmed to us its willingness to denuclear

paula, again, we saw the air china flight from pyeongchang and several vehicles leaving the airport and the image of the north korean leader, a meeting in singapore, what more are you seeing there on the ground? >> well, that's right. we know that kim jong un has arrived here in singapore ahead of that historic summit with the u.s. president donald trump. he arrived in the last few minutes at the saint regis hotel. we understand it is in singapore. there were hundreds of journalists outside waiting for him. also north korean was there to capture the moment as well. we understand he will be staying there until at least the meeting is over between him and donald trump. of course we don't know if that will be a one day or two day meeting after mr. trump suggested it could dgo longer. he will be meeting with the prime minister a little later today. this is really protocol. he is leader of the host country. singapore has made a huge effort for this. they are spending about $15 million from the government official figures just in hosting the summit itself. certainly it would be expected and t

also in singapore gearing up behind the anticipated summit here arrived a few hours earlier on an air china play for the north korean leaders accommodation in singapore has been kept top secret however when reporters supported guards spotted guards in suits jogging around a motorcade arriving at this and just hotel. people are putting two and two together and thinking about where kim is bedding down during this summit. or from did arrive in singapore after leaving the chief seven summit in canada the two day meeting was marked by huge rift between the u.s. and other members as tensions flared over critical international issues. i would rather see russia in the g. eight as opposed to the two so i would say that the g eight is a more meaningful group than the g seven absolutely. here we all agreed to return to the g. seven format summits can't happen until substantial progress has been made in connection with the problems with ukraine canada's position is absolutely clear that there are no grounds whatsoever for bringing russia with its current behavior into the g seven if there is be any con

hours earlier an air china 747 carrying kim jung-un landed at singapore's commercial airport. it is only the fourth time out of north korea for kim since he took power. his farthest trip since he took over in 2011. his motorcade flanked at times by a jogging security team, snaked through the streets. delivering kim to singapore's e'ime minister, who said the young leader's upcoming meeting with president trump affects the security of the region and the world. the trump administration's goal, get pyongyang to shut down its nuclear program, which it says is capable of striking the united states and decimating the korean peninsula. >> we have to get denuclearization. >> glor: on saturday speaking from the g-7, president trump usid he will use his instincts when he becomes the first sitting president to meet a north korean leader. >> this is a leader who really is an unknown personality. people don't know much about him. i think that he is going to surprise on the upside. i am going in with a very positive attitude and i think we will come out fine. but i have said it many times,

the ritz carlton sorry the cent regis hotel and then to the airport to take them on the plane the air china plane to pyongyang having concluded a meeting the president trump said has gone much more successfully than anyone could of thought there is a big question though if we have just seen the signing what did they sign we have not seen the text yet we do not know the word. we do not know whether they have come to some agreements on some key issues what is certain is that this is a historic moment but not a historic deal this is the first meeting the first part of what may well be a long process. earth's just point out james as you were talking we're running some of the latest pictures that that's not live now about was what was going on just literally seconds ago. as you were saying james bays and it's not very clear from actually signed a statement on i guess this is something we're going to find out hopefully in the next you know in the few moments to come but take us through what the expectation is in terms of waltz and they would sign at this point. well i think it's some sort of decl

he took air china to singapore and north korean media actually published that picture with kim jong-un walking outside of the airplane away from the big chinese flag. that show the actual relationship between north kor and china still exist and north korea still relies very much on china. again, another big factor is the strategic rivalry. that made her strategic development gave this background that china and the united states see each other of the most important long-term rivals. if north korea -- if a nuclear capable north korea is going to be a reality for the foreseeable the thinkingieve we wantng might become to make sure a nuclear-capable north korea has a comfortable relationship with china and with the united states. it is not typically how we do youf things here but see some kind of major geopolitical realignment? trying to pull troops out of south kea and the potential for relations with north korea might really change the picture. work in 2009t of timeframe and we had a variety of different working groups and ire than the working groups, think it has been forgotten in the a

. >> reporter: five hours earlier, an air china jet touched down here, carrying kim jong-un. it's only the third time the north korean leader has traveled outside his isolated country since taking power. traveling with him, his sister, who has assumed a more prominent role in the run-up to the summit. on the streets of singapore hundreds turned out to watch the north korean motorcade drive by. kim's personal bodyguards running alongside his limousine. later, the reclusive dictator thanked singapore's prime minister for his "sincere efforts" for the summit. if the summit proves successful, kim declared, the name of singapore will go down in history. the eyes of the world now are on the 36-year old dictator. his new shift to diplomacy comes after a year of escalating provocations. he has tested a hydrogen bomb and more missiles than both his father and grandfather combined, including at least one capable of reaching the united states. >> rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> reporter: the threats and the name calling have gone both ways. kim has

the air china flight. se vehicles leaving the airport. talk to us about what we are getting so far and what more could we get because again, information is tightly controlled here. >> that's right. even before you think about what could happen at this summit, just the fact that kim jong un is here. sit the most the north korean has traveled since he took power. in fact, when it was the beginning of this year when he said he was going to start opening up to south korea. he is about to meet the leader of singapore, prime minister. he will be meeting him at some point from the prime minister's office. also suggesting they go to show those images live. he made effort to secure both of these leaders. there are about $50 million they have spent at this point. don't know whether or not they will be paying for some of the north korean delegations. >> thank you. let's bring in nick roberton live now. nick, i want to push forward here. it seemed to be too far go. it wanted to go there on a visit just about eight or nine months ago. the weather prec

he came on air china 747, it that had been loaned to him by the chinese side which tells you two thingsave a blanket enough to get here to a summit in singapore and secondly just how involved the chinese side is that every step of this negotiation. and also what is interesting is the size of the delegation. really the top figures from the hierarchy in north korea, they are all here. so his his chief of staff, his head of foreign affairs, and his sister came on a separate plane here to singapore as well. so the top echelons if you will, of north korea, they are all here in singapore for the time being. there are three hotels that are at the centre of the world's attention at the moment. here in singapore for this historic summit. the white house confirmed last week that the two leaders will hold their talks at the 5—star hotel on sentosa, a resort island off singapore's southern coast. the fact it is separated by water makes it quite a secure venue. there isjust one road onto the island, and of course that can be cut off. however the two men are staying elsewhere. mr trump is at the shan

flew taken in air china plane. that's the flag carrier of the chinese government. china is saying he's our guy. the plane he flew in is a 747 which is made in the united states. flying an american-made flag under a chinese flag. that might give you an indication where kim's mind is. ed: we'll be looking for all those clues. joining us to get insight on the stakes here. let's talk to walid phares. walid, you have been such a sharp analyst of all of these fast-moving events. and a lot of us have been trying over the last hour as we have been having these conversations. what is the motive of kim jong-un? why does he want to come to the table? you have some thoughts on that. >> this is the best question to begin with. what i call the genesis of why the dictator wanted to engage with the united states. i would go further and say why did he start his escalation. lobbing hose missiles close to the national territory. there is a development in north korea that is promptiis actions. he wants a guarantee that he'll come out as a winner. and probably the situation has to do wi

hours earlier, an air china jet, north korea's kim jong-un on board, touching down, just the third timelated country since taking power. on the streets of singapore, the curious turning out to watch kim's motorcade. his team of body guards running alongside. the leader also meeting with singapore's prime minister. president trump said he'll know in the first minute whether kim is serious about giving up his nuclear arsenal. and he's not afraid of walking away. >> i don't want to waste my time or his time. >> reporter: a back and forth between president trump and prime minister justin trudeau, slapping tariffs on aluminum and steel. trudeau saying that's insulting. which led to the president refusing to sign the g7 communique. >> there's a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad faith diplomacy with president trump. >> potus is not going to let a canadian prime minister push him around. kim must not see american weakness. >>> six people needed medical reatment after competing during footrace. you're looking at the air organizations chp officers flew 16-year-old g

think the biggest symbol of this is really the image of kim jong-un arriving in singapore on an air china mean on loan from beijing. china has been the economic life linediplomatic ally in many, many decades in the run up to the summit president xi jinping met with the leader four times in a 20-day period. first of all, they have said repeatedly on an official level that they want to see denuclearization, they want to see dialogue in the past couple of hours they're saying they're hoping for a positive result. china and the u.s. have had so many issues on the table, like trade, like taiwan and the south china sea, so pulling north korea, a regional security concern off that list, could really be within president xi's interest so that's one of the reasons why we're seeing china wants influence over this process. they could feel quite uncomfortable in what they're seeing, at least some of the officials in the halls of power. that's because for a long time, many years, the u.s. has chosen to engage with the north koreans through a completely different process called the six-party talks that

we know kim jong-un flew to singapore on an air china jet. it all goes well and there's a positive surprise, there could writ for the china and trade ret relationship as well. >> neil: the earnings have been great. the balance sheets are good. >> the economy is getting better. >> neil: and it's okay. >> yeah. everything is honky dorie in 2008, 2007. i remember when the switch went on and it wasn't. i'll say this. if donald trump gets peace in our time, the markets will go up. got you. if he doesn't do anything bad, markets he trade off. this trade stuff that he's doing, the role of the dice, the market -- right now can markets -- >> they don't think anything will happen. >> yeah. but there's big unexpected stuff that came in the past. you have tax cuts that will increase the size of the deficit, which means we'll get higher interest rates in i way because we have to sell more debt. if you have that -- >> neil: not in the growth goes -- >> not initially. if it doesn't pay for itself, you'll have a trade war -- >> neil: there's worries about th

hours earlier an air china 747, carrying kim jong-un, landed at singapore's commercial airport.is only the fourth time out of north korea for kim since he took power. his farthest trip since 2011. his motorcade, flanked by a jogging security team, snaked through the streets. delivering kim to singapore's prime minister who said the young leader's upcoming meeting with president trump affects the security of the region and the world. the trump administration's goal, get pyongyang to shuttle down its nuclear program which it says is capable of striking the united states, and decimating the korean peninsula. >> we have to get denuclearization. >> saturday, speaking from the g-7, president trump said he will use his instincts when he becomes the first sitting president to meet a north korean leader. >> thisis a leader who really is an unknown personality, people don't know much about him. i think that -- that he is going to surprise on the upside. we are going in with a very positive attitude. i think we are going to come out fine. but i have said it many times, who knows. who knows

down to us having discussions about the significance of kim jong-un arriving in singapore on an air chinat and the symbolism and what it means. this has been so scrutinized from every angle. we looked at handshakes and see if they smile. what we want to get our hands on is the statement that's going to come out right before the press conference that donald trump is talking about. we're waiting for that next, anna. >> yeah. certainly are. man manisha tank, thanks to you. >> we're getting information on what's in that joint statement. president trump and kim jong-un have a sincere exchange of opinions, on new u.s./dprk relations. president trump committed to providing security to the dprk. and kim jong-un committed dewavering communication. the u.s. and north korea have committed to work denuclearization. they are going to work towards it. there's no commitment to make it happen. but it's still early as they move forward with this process, which is what everyone had expected there would be system kind of framework here. some kind of way they could move towards the denuclearization of the ko

flights that we can put our passengers on the air china flights.as been proven to positive astive and well for customers by enabling us to have a stronger business. there's also been a lot of competition from foreign carriers and chinese carriers in particular over the last several years and this joint venture will make us more competitive. amanda: you really pursued the u.s. traveler, bringing them into international markets. is that a very limited business? -- is that a lucrative business? ms. rovinescu: we are evolving our hubs into global hubs and toronto in particular is the strongest of all of our canadian hubs. we build that by bringing traffic into toronto and then out of toronto globally. pittsburghaces like and boston and philadelphia and cleveland in nashville, places that will not a surly have the breadth of network that places like chicago or jfk really asked might have and that has been a fantastic market for us, we of course have the largest operation in terms of number of flights into the united states. it covers some 65 cities in t

reported that kim jong un arrived here during the past fifteen minutes we understand he arrived on an air chinaflight that had been allocated to him by the chinese government that's very significant because it shows of course the china is still very much in the mix as regards this summit even though president xi jinping will not be attending it it was a seven hour flight and this ensured that of course the air craft passed through chinese airspace for as long as possible passing even across the island of finance and then down into southeast asia now there has been very very tight security the north koreans of course always worried about the prospect of that assassination attempt but the chinese i think were able to say we can guarantee your security if you are in one of our aircraft one of our aircraft passing through our airspace now of course this is only the second international flight that the north korean leader has taken since he became leader of his country at the end of two thousand and eleven the last flight he took was to the city of daraa in northeast china a few weeks ago when he me

then to the surprise of many, kim jong-un arrived in a boeing 747 from china's state owned airline air china. he didn't arrive in his personal plane which is is a soviet era plane from the 1960 because it can't fly very far and seemed to limit the location of the summit it's a clear signal china trying to maintain the influence with kim jong-un. as the motorcade you see the body guards running alongside of it there's so much curiosity about him. there's also a lot of curiosity about the summit which, as you mentioned, starts 12 hours from now. and u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo briefed reporters a few hours ago. >> president trump is going into the meeting with confidence, positive attitude, and eagerness for real progress. he has made it clear if kim jong-un denuclearizes there's a brighter future for north korea. tomorrow we'll get our clearest indication to date of whether chairman kim jong-un truly shares this vision >> reporter: so on the one hand, there's going to be a one on one just the two of them between kim jong-un and president trump. on the other hand, they both seembe leav

when kim jong-un walked on to the tarmac in singapore, it was an air china plane taking him. a photo op can the hammer and sickle. >> dana: interesting. this summit is a couple days after the president went to the g-7. you wrote a book, "us versus them." it's like your book is playing out as we watch on the world stage. take a look to lindsey graham that was talking about tariffs in the united states. >> i'm not so sure a majority of americans believe t alization and free trade is in our interest. i believe that. john mccain believes it. the reason we're having these problems here at home, brexit, italy, there's a movement all over the world to look inward, not outward. >> isn't that what you wrote? >> couldn't agree more. certainly believe the globalization is a big win for china, india and the u.s. economy as a whole. if the average american hasn't seen it,xperieit, if the united states sending troops all over the place in the back of enlisted men and women and they're not getting benefits of that, 40 yearslater, a lot of people are going to start pro tersing. that's why tr

physically in the room the most obvious sign of that is the arrival of kim jong-un in singapore on an air china plane that was on loan from beijing. beijing has been the economic life line for north korea. it's been a diplomatic ally for decades. the chinese government, especially xi jinping, has many, many reasons as to why they would want to see this summit go well the official line has been repeatedly from beijing that they want dialogue, they want denuclearization just in the past hour the foreign ministry issued a statement saying that they hope to see a positive result come out of this meeting and from the chinese perspective they would want to see and it would be within their interest to see north korea removed from a long list of points of contentions with the united states because it is a big regional risk, however, at the same time probably there is some level of discomfort in beijing among some of the officials because of this idea that the u.s., unlike in past years when they've been continuously engaging north korea in a different framework called the six party talks which would in

it looked like the north korea er arrived in a chinese plane, china air >> reporter: yeah, absolutely. china does play a role there are actually two lines of thinking on this one is that president trump through unconventional methods was able to pressure china and get north korea to the negotiating table. the other story line that you hear a lot among china -- sorry, north korea watchers is that actually the north korean economy is doing a lot better than what the trump administration believes. that china has not put on as much pressure as people had thought and so the motivations that are driving kim are to actually go to the summit and that he would be driving a hard bargain because of this idea that perhaps president trump doesn't actually know that he isn't as desperate as somepeopl >> eunice, thank you very much we will be coming to you often over the next 24 hours or so that is eunice yoon joining us from beijing joining us is harvard kennedy school's korcore rekorea's workl professor john park. the next 24 hours are going to be crucial what should we be watching to know if thin
