well, he's just been visiting the mausoleum of the legendary vietnamese independence leader, ho chi minhwhile ho chi minh was alive back in 1958 and 1964, at a time when north korea was a relatively successful socialist economy, helping a poor and struggling vietnam. kim jong—un, in some ways, has quite consciously followed in the footsteps of his grandfather. he likes the fact that he looks like his grandfather, the founder of the north korean dynasty, so coming here to the mausoleum of ho chi minh, most dignitaries do it, it is an important part of any visit to vietnam, it would have been an essential part of that. he's now gotjust a couple more meetings before he heads back to the border and then his long train ride back to north korea, where he will go through china. we do not know yet whether he will be stopping off to talk to chinese leaders about what happened here at the summit. in vietnam, they're still portraying this as a successful summit hosting, because it went smoothly. they're kind of glossing over the fact that, in fact, nothing came out of it, as indeed is the north kor

. >> the controller here in malaysia tells him to speak to ho chi minh. and he says good night, malaysian 370, something i would do. >> there was no indication that anything had gone wrong. >> david sousi is a former safety inspector for the faa. >> so for the first 40 minutes of this flight, up to that point everything has been routine. >> mm-hmm. yes. >> everything was routine until now. two minutes after talking with air traffic control, 40 minutes into the flight, the plane's transponder goes dark. >> the plane's transponders is effectively the instrument which sends out a signal to air traffic control. it tells you what might it's at, which direction, and what speed it's traveling. suddenly this giant triple-7 is blind to the world. >> and there's no easy explanation for why it happened. >> either it was intentional and someone tried to turn all of those systems off at once, or the pilot was unable to communicate, kept from communicating, or there was a mechanical failure of some kind that took all those systems out at one time. >> then minutes after

they were taking t-28s out, and bombing along the ho chi minh trail. it was a different world, and i was afraid my parents would fear for our safety. i stopped my talk and i'll raise for 2005. -- race forward to 2005. i'm on a plane into los angeles, california. i get on the plane. my daughter, who i'm visiting there, has a van scheduled to pick me up. i come down the elevator, someone is holding the sign, and i say that is me. off we went. it was just the driver and me. i looked up in the mere and i -- mirror and said where are you , from? he said, the far east. he said thailand. i said i lived in laos. he said in the capital? i said no, i lived in pak say. he said, my mother lives there. he says i used to work there. i was a t 28 pilot that used to work for the cia. we used to bomb along the ho chi minh trail. there were tears and great conversation between us. we got to my daughter's apartment about an hour later. he got the bag out, i hugged my daughter. she came over to me and we had this wonderful embrace. my daughter looked at us and she said, "

we always saw ho chi minh as a communist. he kept say, don't be distracted by this. the soviets themselves were worried that ho chi minh was more of a nationalist than an internationalist communist. i think what you found is that they are realists in the most profound sense. they knew how to distinguish at the time of the war the difference between the united states people and its government and that government's policies. the soldiers on the ground often tell exactly similar stories. the resentment are still there. i think we're premature if we try to say that they have kind of forgotten it in a way that we have. let's just remember there's 3 million absent people there. that's an amputated limb that's going to be felt. mothers still grieving, grandmothers still grieving. people still looking for lost bodies. they have over 300,000 mias there among the north vietnamese. there's a wound. they have managed to go forward. they stagnated for almost a decade from '75 after their victory, to '85, until they employed a more western -- what was called a an op ee eed an op cr

kim laid a wreath at a war heroes monument and visited the mausoleum of former vietnamesleader ho chi minh. supporters and government officials greered the north leader as he boarded his private armored train at the vietnam/china borrr. his returnain trip to pyongyang will take over 60 hours.e there were morotests and new fighting today in indian admistered kashmir. in the city of srinagar, supporters of the people's democratic party demonstrated against a government ban on the largest politic and religious group. india says the ban is a crackdown on activists seeking to end their rule in the disputed region. near the dividing line between indian and pakistani controlled regions, oicials said new fighting killed at least six civilians and two pakistani troo today. this past week india launched n what it claimed were militants in pakistan who carried out a suide bombing that killed forty indian troops in kashmir on february 14. pakistan shot down an indian fighter jet, but returned the slot to india yesterday in what d was a peace gesture. the aid group doctors without borders is suspending

americans were bombing north vietnam of working out one more cold war problem on the site where ho chi minh and others plotted against the americans and the french is pretty remarkable. >> brennan: there are so many remarkable moments we saw one of them in that piece earlier but, david we have to point out, you were the reporter who had the guts to ask the very first question of kim jong-un and he answered. >> he answered. the question with to the most brutal dictator in the world, what could go wrong? luckily i am back here to talk about it, luckily, fortunately. >> we didn't know what happens there were a small group of white house reporters. >> some shout at president trump, the day before he got irritated by shouted questions but we wanted to engage kim jong-un, this was one of the few chances even if they had gotten a deal he would not have appeared at a news conference i asked him whether he was confident he would get a deal. >> and he said it was too early to tell and he was right and said he was not pessimistic and hopeful but we saw hours later i was there in the dining room for lu

kimjong—un laid wreathes at a heroes' memorial, and at the mausoleum of vietnam's founding father, ho chi minht several dignitaries, in striking contrast to north korea, this country is run by an almost anonymous collective leadership. he said he wanted to learn from vietnam's rapid development, butjust how far down the path of market reforms and political engagement with neighbours is mr kim willing to go? after the setback of his meeting with president trump, it is hard to guess. it has been a proud moment for vietnam, too. a country which rarely stands tall in international affairs. the summit may have failed, but it has shown vietnam's willingness to be friends with everyone. so they gave kim jong—un a grandiose sendoff as he boarded his train at the chinese border. no one quite sure where this once reclusive leader will next try to take his country. the abrupt and unsuccessful conclusion to the summit will have come as as much of a blow to the north korean leader, as it did to president trump, but mr kim, of course, controls his own media, and both here in communist ruled vietnam, and at

picture of his grandfather being met by ho chi minh.d. the two sides have a complicated history and are technically still at war. rupert wingfield hayes has been gauging the reaction in seoul. at radio free north korea in seoul, they are broadcasting news of the trump kim summit into the north. this station is run entirely by defectors. the newsreader used to work for north korean state tv. the station founder, kim seong—min, was an officer in the north korean military. defectors like mr kim have long warned that kim jong—un is playing a game with the outside world, and today, he feels vindicated. "trump, moon and the whole world is being deceived by kimjong—un," he tells me. "the south korean government must know that kim is not going to give up his nuclear weapons, but he went to the united states and told them kim is ready to give up his weapons. president trump accepted that and believed it until today." those on the right here in south korea may not be sad the latest trump kim summit has come to nothing, but many others feel massiv

kagan: i think it was ho chi minh who said about the french revolution "it is too soon to tell." i do not know whether we know yet. the only thing we can be confident of is that expectations that, for instance, in china, which we had ever since they sort of opening that left, that politics and economics would gradually open up china, and eventually, that may be true. but what we have seen actually has not confirmed that. they clearly have some of the best minds in the world working. they are competing with us on artificial intelligence very effectively, i mean, xi jinping has moved things in the other direction. so they faced that we made to have come of the iron law that existed in the relationship between liberal politics and liberal economics is not something we can have any faith in right now. whether that proves true, eventually, we will find out. fred: don't count on it as an inevitable process. mr. kagan: the other question, of course, is what happens in the interim? it may be that 100 years from now, it will prove true, but what happens in about 100 years? an increasingly
