he has since woken up and left st regis to the capella hotel, where they are holding the summit. before leaving or going straight to the airport. it is a 5—star luxurious hotel, rooms cost thousands of dollars and this event is costing the singapore government $50 million but it seems that they are getting some benefit out of it as well. —— $15 million. are getting some benefit out of it as well. -- $15 million. thank you very much, mariko oi. it is approaching 11 o'clock this morning and we understand the meeting between the two leaders that is currently under way at the capella hotel after an informal meeting between the two leaders that lasted around 40 minutes. kimjong—un is due to leave singapore here at two o'clock in the afternoon local time and he will be followed, it if you like, by donald trump leaving at seven o'clock this evening. in total about four hours to really get down to the details of what these summit will produce. we will bring you every step of the way and any developments. staying with us. hello there. for many days, even weeks now, our weather has been st

this is the island of sentosa, the capella hotel, it spans a vast area, the foreground of the hotel and

safe to say they will be welfare here at the capella hotel.esting, it is fair to say, to look at that menu because what we can gauge there is an american culinary appetite and an asian one, a north korean too. you ever thought of that menu has obviously catered for the tastes of both the men, of course. but it's important that the two men are axed here, and that's why sentosa was chosen as the island to host the talks because of its seclusion and luxurious surroundings —— are axed. and indeed because of its brevity as well. —— are relaxed. let's speak to nancy snow. she is professor of public diplomacy at kyoto university of foreign studies, she's in tokyo. forgive me for talking through the menu, those little details and some find interesting! the detail about what will be agreed is what we are focusing on. what is likely to happen here according to you?m sounds like, as you said, they are a lot more relaxed with each other. i don't think we will get a big deal that will come out of this meeting. it's an initial meeting. kim has already talke

at the the scene capella hotel.and trump have come after thr summit, 35 minutes , after ahereabouts discussion, accompanied by their interpreters. the tool go for a short walk around the summit site -- two will go for a short walk around the summit site. this is the scene at the capella hotel. , seniorrry kudlow economic policy adviser to donald trump, doing well after a heart attack, says his wife to the "washington post." weight tomp on his the -- way to the venue tweeted about it. in singapore, one of our reporters has a couple o qutions. you were talking about the best case scenario. how about the works -- w orst-case scenario? if north korean assets were to get softer, there would be impacts on dollar funding premiums. >> there would be some impact on but thereity markets, is also very short-term market movent, happening in korea right now. there was anxiety from the market last year about trade, but when it comes to a trade there is huge concern some point about geopolitical risk, but now that there is these ,

here a live picture right now from singapore's capella hotel where the two men are about t meet and shake for the first time. both leaders who not long ago traded insults famously and threats, left their hotels just a short time ago en route to this meeting. this is the first time a sitting u.s. president has ever met with a north korean leader since the kim dynasty took power 70 years ago. on the agenda, of course, north korea's nuclear arsenal and the trump white house has been both raising hopes and lowering expectations about what will be accomplished here in the coming hours. joining me right now here in singapore, our chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell and chief white house correspondent hallie jackson. hallie, let me start with you as we watchthis. the president making news in a whole other matter. actually, here's -- >> yeah. >> here's kim jong-un now exiting his limousine, walking into the capella hotel. we last saw him last evening as he was doing some sight-seeing here in singapore. but as you can see now walking into the capella hotel. the next time we see him

: we are look at the president of the united states in his motorcade exiting the hotel and moving of course to the capellaury hotel. luxury is one of the most of redundant words. and he's at the shangri-la. if you don't get the idea of luxury you are not paying attention in singapore. the shangri-la the prime luxury hotel in my limited experience. ed: i stayed there. it's pretty nice. lou: you have stayed in lots of places. >> in terms of the runup here. president trump took a position that you had to give up the weapons or. and that was different from what the previous president's is. that's why kim jong-un came to the table, and it's why his father and grandfather did not. they never had an ultimatum of this sort. >> they never had a president of this sort. one of the things that's fascinating for me to watch and msnbc, cnn and the pathetic left whether npr, the bbc or abc. what's the fourth one, i can't remember. abc. you look at this. they are absolutely beside themselves that this president is advancing the trump agenda, the america first agenda in every quarter of the world whether it's in canada at

essentially what we have seen is the two having had lunch, they had a walk around the capella hotel, trump saying to reporters who were gathered there, filming the two taking their walk around the garden, saying briefly that they were signing something and we do not know quite what that is and i have robert kelly here again. we were both watching when we saw that happen. you have been with us throughout the coverage. what do we think trump meant? possibly some kind of denuclearisation statement. long on principle, short on detail. is that the signing of a peace treaty? that would be legally difficult because you would get china and the un involved in that. it could be a shadow peace treaty... but you still need china and south korea to take pa rt need china and south korea to take part so i not sure... we are still looking at live footage. they are motioning towards the motorcade. we are getting some close—ups that the capella hotel and movements of them. we have been speculating, will we really do not know what they're to be talking about. they will be meeting at... that will be an

this is president trump heading to the capella hotel in singapore's island for the historic twice faceting with north korea's kim jong-un. this is kim's motorcade heading to the hotel as well, the first meeting ever between a sitting president of the united states and a leader of north korea. the states, stakes could not be higher, for united states nothing less than ending the north korean nuclear threat, what has been called the worst problem on earth. the president sees himself the president, who sees himself as a "master deal maker," is looking to make the biggest deal of his life here. and to his critics, mr. trump tweeted: "we have our hostages, missile launches have stopped, we will be fine." >> we are going to bring in major garrett now to talk about this summit, which is just minutes away and the president's major is active and online. >> and everything is in place, jeff, and the president is highly personalized his involvement saying nothing matters at the staff level, only his interaction with kim jong-un, writing just a few hours on twitter we will soon know whether a real

the two men met and shook hands on a red carpet at the summit venue at the capella hotel on sentosa and—one talks for around 50 minutes. they also held talks with a wider group of senior advisors and other officials. as they went into their initial meeting president trump predicted that he would have a terrific relationship with north korea's kim jong—un, words said amid smiles and backslapping. no sitting us president has ever met a north korean leader. before their anticipated talks, mr trump tweeted that the world will soon know whether a real deal, unlike those of the past can be forged with kim jong—un. kim jong—un also spoke during that brief photo opportunity we saw of the two leaders sitting down together, saying that the past... it was not easy to get here, your prejudices and practices worked as obstacles prejudices and practices worked as o bsta cles in prejudices and practices worked as obstacles in our way forward but we ove rca m e obstacles in our way forward but we overcame all of them and we are here today. it's those images of the two men shaking hands that will be for

but the capella hotel. and what a night it was coming out of the hotel and being seen n public and going on that walkabout and that is the key as come jong-un and preside trump, how are the talks going to go today and going to center ound the u.s. assurances for kim's region emsecurity and that he is committed that he has repeatedly said to complete denuclearization. that is what the first minutes are going to be as well, to establish that kind of rapport and will have talks until the afternoon and we are learning that kim jong un will go back to pyongyang at 2:00 p.m. president trump will have a press briefing before wheels up at 7:00 p.m. so much for the possibility of day two. the reason for this, miami pompeo saying that talks had been progressing faster. i s that's a goosign. if things are going quickly, but it looks as though they are putting a positive spin and finding common ground. when it comes to what we heard from the secretary of state, you mentioned about the secretary of guarantees that the u

enemies for so many years that they are sharing details like that they then went back inside the capella hotel we understand that a signing could be imminent by the two men this is not a deal it's a declaration it's a statement of. how they want things to proceed it is though historic. it's historic what do we expect that statement to say when it comes to denuclearize asian when it comes to security guarantees from north korea. what we know what the two sides wants and we think there are still substantial gaps so how are they going to peek over those gaps on north korea's nuclear program kim was asked by reporters during one of the brief photo opportunities is he going to give up his nuclear weapons he was asked that question three times he didn't reply the question was in english maybe didn't feel comfortable replying or didn't understand the question but it is the question and it's the question everyone's asking and i feel it's likely that the question will not be fully answered in the statement we're going to get having said that from this first meeting both sides can declare there is progr

have got us to this moment today this historic moment that's taking place in singapore at the capella hotel on sentosa island a very luxury island in singapore full of five star hotels and golf courses and that's where we're seeing pictures from now where inside we suspect something is likely to be signed very soon and then we'll see at the. end of that the motorcades part first we think the north koreans will be leaving because they're due to leave in a very short time now on their flight back to pyongyang in about an hour and ten minutes is the schedule for that to take off but of course these things don't always go to schedule and if there are more details to iron out they will stay and on those details even if it's just a broad statement that very generally covers the issue of denuclearization and some form of security guarantees for north korea how important is it for both leaders now to be able to have something to sign and go back to their countries and and hailed this meeting as a success. well i think it's domestically very very important for both leaders for the north korean side

they walked into the capella hotel on the island of sentosa.ymbolic moment when the two men stood on the forecourt of the hotel, shaking hands in front of their respective flags. smiling, slightly awkwardly it is safe to say, to the photographers gathered there. a strong handshake between the two leaders. a handshake that we have come familiar with from donald trump. just behind kim jong—un, leading him towards the corridors of the capella hotel, to a library where they sat down for a photo opportunity in it is those images that will could —— continued to dominate in the coming months if not yea rs. dominate in the coming months if not years. then they took part in a one on one meeting which we understand that lasted for around 110 odd minutes. the first 1—to—1 meeting between president trump and the north korean leader kimjong—un. before we saw these, photo opportunity to see the delegation, the immediate players, if you like, that have been pivotal in the low level talks leading to this event and it two leaders that opposite one another. dona
