>> yes, and at the same time the wife of chairman kim jong-un and chairman kim jong-un's sister kim il jong with at the head table. it made the atmosphere much more amicable and lively. >> it was really as relaxed as it looked? >> it was extremely relaxed. people were moving around different tables, proposing a toast and congratulating the success of the summit. >> and did you expect it to be like that? >> no, i didn't expect it, i thought there must be some kind of tension, some kind of difficulty in arriving at that kind of declaration but i didn't see the kinds of difficulties. >> how did kim come across? what was his persona like? his body language? did you shake his hand? did he look you in t the eye? >> oh, yes. he's just ordinary and normal. but he has charisma, but he's extremely friendly, willing to accommodate any person's approach. of course the setting was somewhat different, last night's banquet. but however he was very, very -- he showed very ordinary and amicable behavior towards the other members from south korea. >> what was the most important thing for you given how l

you have met directly with kim jong-un. do you still think that the people there in north korea would like to see him go? >> jonathan, what i said that evening, i still believe. the people of north korea live in very difficult conditions. believe that one of the reasons that kim jong-un is engaged in this conversation is that the pressure campaign that's been applied by president trump and by the world has put them in more tenuous, more difficult position. so i'm optimistic. we'll work hard to see if we can't find a solution so that the north korean people can in fact live a better life.

thank you, professor kim jung.one into the peace house ahead of this summit which is starting in about five minutes time. you will be meeting with kim jong—un. he minutes time. you will be meeting with kimjong—un. he has been making his way to the peace house. i can bring in our correspondence rupert wingfield—hayes. some of the fundamental issues they will be discussing but there are allegations of human rights abuses that people say moonjae—in should bring up but others say he should focus on the fa ct others say he should focus on the fact that they can come to a peace treaty and so on. what are we expecting from the summit? it might be mentioned but something that south koreans are concerned about. 0ver south koreans are concerned about. over the last ten years or so, 15 yea rs, over the last ten years or so, 15 years, around 30,000 north korean defectors have come to the south. they campaigned quite strongly to have more focus on the human rights situation in south, sorry, in north korea. it is not a big polit

jong—un. 0f the north korean leader, kim jong—un.timises the north korean state, which has had a record of human rights abuses and that it recognises the north korean state as a nuclear state. is that a good thing? the north korean state as a nuclear state. is that a good thing7m depends. in my opinion, without making some engagement with north korea and getting some concessions from the north korean side, the first thing is the issue of denuclearisation. those are some high priorities in terms of security matters. 0nce high priorities in terms of security matters. once we have some progress in this domain, then we can move to the other domain of internal politics of north korea economic cooperation or exchange. this is some kind of step—by—step approach to how to open in north korea and how to reform. we cannot do everything in a some will turn this way. changing north korea in order to improve. we are watching live footage. the south korean president on his way to meet kim jong—un. footage. the south korean president on his way to

it also has kim's character. it also has kim's character at the start.sure, moon's construction. —— instruction. i am sure, just as you did, i started early in the morning. mr moon said, just a few kilometres away. mr kim said, i heard that you woke up early. maybe because of that meeting. when you received the embassy areas, i think it was a very good gesture as well. mr kim, i will make sure that you don't have to wa ke make sure that you don't have to wake up early in the morning in the future. i wonder why it has been so ha rd future. i wonder why it has been so hard and so difficult to have another meeting. i thought i would meet you in pyongyang but i think this is better. the place of conflict. that's how we came about. the people who lost their home towns, and the refugees. they may be worried about when the north korean bombs would drop on them in the past. hopefully this south korea, north korea can make good progress. mr moon. so many people lined up on the streets to send me off to panmunjom. the village residents came to have a photo. so if

kim jong-un sent his sister there, very positive, at least rhetoric emerged from that, that kim jong-un took the train ride from pyongyang to beijing and met with the chinese leadership as you correct lip point out. then mike pompeo heads to pyongyang for secret talks that took place. he's only the second american to meet with kim jong-un. dennis rodman the first several years ago. and now this sets the stage for the summit with the south korean president, president moon next week followed by a summit with president trump. these are all pretty significant developments, congressman. >> no doubt about it. and your rendition of the various activities that have taken place, keep in mind the election of a new president in south korea who parted from more than 60 years of what was the montra of south korea, we're going to reunify. president moon said something quite different. he said that the reality is there are two nations here. some day, some day off in the future, perhaps there will be reunification, but not now. that's a very, very important part of this whole equation as it's being pla

kim jong un speaking of peace and prosperity. let's listen once again. [ applause ] >> the korean war. no peace treaty was signed in 1953. for 65 years it has been tension and technically war between these two neighbors. you heard a goal of complete denuclearization. they will hold reunion of divided families later this year. president moon will visit pyongyang later this year. the two koreas seek a peace regime. paula hancocks. remarkable. you heard the north korean leader talk about one people and one blood and one korea and one country. what did you make of that? >> reporter: that's right. it is true. this is one people. one country that has been divided by others. suddenly the fact the north korean leader has pointed that out is symbolic and significant. both of these leaders were stand in the press conference saying the other deserved praise and applause for being bold. you heard president moon saying kim jong un had been bold and agreeing to what they agreed to today. to sum up what they agreed to, a declaration of the end

it's one thing to stop the tests and one things the kim jong—un to give up one things the kim jong—unthought we were on the brink of a war. and suddenly we heard from kim jong—un saying that he was possibly sending north korean delegations and then we have seen some rapid progress of diplomacy. what in your view changed mr kim's mind? it was a combination of factors. we saw late last year, kim jong—un demonstrated an of factors. we saw late last year, kimjong—un demonstrated an h—bomb and icbm capabilities. so as far as the policy goes, the nucleoside of this. they were reiterated for the speech. we have completed this part. this does allow them to have broader negotiating flexibility. there is a lot more that he can give up to give up lot more that he can give up to give up some of the political will in relations that have soured. he no longer has to demonstrate these capabilities. things like putting a freeze on testing. even now, he is willing to shut down fissile material production. he can give these up very easily without getting to the bulk of the programme and saving that for

president moonjae—in and kim jong-un in panmunjom.ecause essentially, apart from some statements, kim jong—un and has really given up nothing in order to get to the summit. well, i believe still the announcement made by pyongyang on the 20th of april, which includes the suspension of the nuclear testing and missile launchers, as well as the shutdown of the nuclear testing site in the northern part of north korea speaks volumes about the direction in which the north koreans will go in terms of denuclearisation and when they come to talks with us and the americans. are of course we will not come to any conclusions regarding the denuclearisation. we will be serious, we will be very stubborn and talking with the north koreans of the importance of the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. president trump will follow friday's summit with a summit of his own. a lot of people are very surprised that he agreed to this. how surprised was your government? well personally, i was not surprised. because in a sense, president trump has been very

kim jong un i kim jong kim jong un invited president moon to north korea. they are talking about future summits. this is not just about today. we are looking forward to seeing what kind of communication and what kind of draft agreement will come up at the end of today. how much can they decide in one day? the blue house consistently said today is about how willing is north korea to new guindenuclea. >> we heard they had stand-ins to rehearse and this seems very relax relaxed. we don't know what they are saying. they seem at ease. >> reporter: they do. you know, christine, this is probably one of the first times we are seeing kim jong un like this. even when he went to china to meet with xi jinping. that was choreographed. this is heavily choreographed. we are seeing him in a more natural state. he is outside of his natural habitat outside of north korea where anytime we see him on state run immediamedia, we knows heavily edited and checked. he knows what is going out to the world and to his people. the two leaders appear to be getting on. >> completely cont

i think kim jong-un should be told we'd like to honor your grandfather kim il-sung. he wanted to implement this north-south agreement and agreed to sign it. of course, he died in 1994. it was never implemented and probably never implemented because, you know, the north is following its normal method of obligation, not implementing agreements, and be that as it may we want to say we support kim il-sung's vision and give kim jong-un an opportunity to implement already agreed upon document. and, of course, what we fear, of course, is -- is president trump being put into -- put into, you know, a box and having to agrey to something that we don't want to agree to when i think that if we do this, if we approach it using the north-south agreement as a framework we're making an offer to kim jong-un that he can't refuse. if he refuses it, we're in the position where we can say that he is not honoring the legacy of his grandfather, and that will then inoculate us from whatever happens in the talks because we will have offered to start from an already agreed upon framework. if

supervisor kim? >> vice president brandon: i just want to reiterate to the board in a 9-1 vote, in 2014, we allocated 1.3 million to the homeless outreach team. homelessness is always a crisis. this board voted 9-1 to pass that supplemental appropriation. and we did not know if that money would become permanent three months later, and yet we did it because we thought that it was such a crisis on our streets that we need to expand the number of workers and mental health outreach workers that were addressing homelessness. so again, this very board, many, many, many members who were there in that year voted that in april of 2014, to expand our homeless program, without any guarantee that we would keep those jobs permanent. now mr. stringer, i have to ask realistically what is the likelihood that these positions will remain permanent? >> you mean transition into permanent jobs? >> supervisor kim: transition into termnent. >> realistically, probably 50% may transition. that might be the best case scenario

supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: thank you. i just wanted to bring up public works again to address the question that supervisor norman yee yee brought up about what would be an appropriate amount that we could fund in the remaining fiscal year, and just looking at what we had put together with your department, there is 560,000 to purchase the ravos street sweepers, 100,000 for street sweeping terms and supplies, which i assume we could use today. we have the 230,000 in community grants which we could also issue fairly quickly, but i think the question is the 1.6 million that we have set aside for hiring additional street cleaners. i'd like to right size the appropriation given the time passage and reduce the original amount as suggested by supervisor yee. >> supervisor kim, i'm real back of the envelope, so i'm saying the 560,000 for the purchase of the equipment some remain whole. the $100,000 for materials and supplies, we probably could also reduce to about half. the 230,000 to the nonprofit community partner, that is somet

kim jong un will be casing. yeah south korea democracy relatively young democracy only democracy since the one nine hundred eighty s. but yes he has democratic pressures on him he's riding high in the polls right now people are generally pretty optimistic about what he's doing here but of course if it goes badly then it could all turn very spectacularly and could affect his his public rating here if people see a summit that doesn't go according to plan as often in these things look at the official declaration at the end in the words and we're parsing those words carefully but look to the body language of the two leaders kim when you see him often in official photos when he's in the comfort of his own capital is often smiling it seems always in many of the photos giggling are you going to see that photo of kim or are you going to see the photo and we saw a couple of pictures released of him with might compare on his trip to pyongyang and we saw a very stern looking north korean leader then so some of it's going t

you have met directly with kim jong-un. do you still think that the people there in north korea would like to see him go? >> jonathan, what i said that evening, i still believe. the people of north korea live in very difficult conditions. believe that one of the reasons that kim jong-un is engaged in this conversation is that the pressure campaign that's been applied by president trump and by the world has put them in more tenuous, more difficult position. so i'm optimistic. we'll work hard to see if we can't find a solution so that the north korean people can in fact live a better life. >> our thanks to secretary pompeo who spoke to us from saudi arabia. we had hoped to ask him about iran and other hot spots. as you saw there, he had to run to a dinner with the saudi crown prince. let bring in congressman adam schiff. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. congressman schiff, you heard the secretary say he thinks there's a real opportunity here. that they're going into this with eyes open. but they think tha

going to insure that it makes sense for kim jong—un?se nuclear weapons. those are three paul matters. these kind of leadership moments are important because they established relationships, the personal relationships, the personal relationships at the highest level. obviously donald trump has to do this as well. on the basis of that, you begina this as well. on the basis of that, you begin a negotiation but there are a lot of details to eye and out. some details could happen big now but we are also talking about a process that will talk at least months of negotiations, we are talking about years to complete the ultimate goal of peace and denuclearisation. we havejust ultimate goal of peace and denuclearisation. we have just had a statement from the white house saying that they wish a very good summitand saying that they wish a very good summit and that this will happen, there will be a summit between president trump and kim jong—un after president trump saying it might not happen at all. these summits, some critics would argue that it su

what does kim jong-un want? your president has said that he has put down no preconditions, not even the demand that they always make which is the removal of u.s. forces and ironclad security guarantees. i mean, really, there are no preconditions? you don't expect them to ask for anything? >> he did say -- what he did say was, if the threat of -- the military threat is removed, if it is guaranteed security, then there's no reason for him to have nuclear weapons. so those are two big items that he's put on the table. we will know better with greater clarity at the table. so, you know, the details of the denuclearization commitment is really to be elaborated and explored at the summit table. >> denuclearization may mean different things to different people. as you heard president trump even just in the last couple of days say, what does it mean to him? it means dismantling and getting rid of the north korea's nuclear weapons program. just getting rid of it, ending it. and you, i believe, feel the same way. >> yes,

kim? perspective, they 'se carefully watching trump policies toward north korea and whether they will have agreements. if you look at the japanese , you can see who, with --t country japan's allies then it can tell you something in the future longer-term. this is the one thing. have aeally wanted to relationship with south korea to deter china. japan chose to the united states to only contribute in east asia to deter china. .hina is hostile -- they are fear impulsive. i was in the team of south korea japanese showing that they are original great power to china. they try to strengthen their alliance with the united states to show to china how important the japanese are. >> ok. we will move along with questions. >> thank you. this has been a tremendous dialogue we have here. is aee with you, there , and then there is an american factor. pressurerump's high diplomacy none of this would happen. however, i am happy it is happening. we have an opportunity to go somewhere as asia. however, it is

is kim committed to denuclearization?tois a ploy to buy fine-tune his weapons programs and alleviation of sanctions? he is in much need of hard currency. there are many questions to be answered. the optics and the mood will be in fine focus. steve, as you are speaking, we are taking live pictures of south korean president moon jae-in leaving the blue house, on his way to panmunjom. a few hours ago they said from is north mr. kim jong-un also on his way to panmunjom for this historic meeting between these two leaders. in terms of the questions that could be answered today, you talked about denuclearization. guest, formerly u.n. ambassador bill richardson, said it was probably not on the table, far from it. what could be realistic coming from today? is up fore peninsula armistice, not a peace deal. is there demilitarization? stephen: a couple months ago when i was here i was on the unification bridge when they decided to have reconciliation. they had the first face-to-face meeting in a long time. the north koreans were take

those are kim jong-un's words.mmended kim for his decisiveness in making that summit happen, and agrees with kim that they need to talk with open hearts. it was a bigsay present to the world by having this huge agreement. we are having more comments as well from kim jong-un. he says they should meet frequently to make up for lost years. in fact, the pharmacists -- armistice was signed years ago. kim says we can't go back to how .hings were before on a bit of levity, he said he hopes kim enjoys the cold noodles he brought from a restaurant. likenoodles does not sound hopes they, but one are good noodles. rishaad: ones hopes that they are. more on the implications coming up, what this could mean for the north korean economy and beyond. this is bloomberg. ♪ rishaad: we are back. this is bloomberg markets. a 30% slump in operating profits this fiscal year. this is an automation systems maker. income ofing at net, $1.4 billion. quite a significant shortfall. deutsche bank saying -- said it plans to cut more than 10% of

wants from kim. will president trump insist that kim give up, ship out all of his nuclear weapons, all of the nuclear fuel, all of the ballistic missiles before the u.s. makes any concession? >> yeah, i think that's what denuclearization means. we have the libya model from 2003-2004, there's obviously differences. the program was much smaller but that was basically the agreement that we made. so we will want to test north korea in this first meeting for evidence that they have made that strategic decision and we have -- we have history to give us some assistance on it. 1992, the joint north-south denuclearization agreement had north korea pledging to give up any aspect of nuclear weapons and to give up uranium enrichment and plutonium and we have other things to talk about, american hostages, the japan's abductees but it's a pretty good start. chris: just to pin this down, north korea has to give up basically the whole program before the u.s. begins to relieve economic sanctions? >> yeah, i think tha

re i think that they watching very closely in the white house to see what kim -- how kim behaved, how he handled himself. i think probably the judgment is he is a pretty adroit player. there was a moment you recall when the two leaders first met across the line of demarcation and moon maneuvered kim for a picture and before they retreated into the peace house to have their meeting, kim took moon by the arm, brought him back aoss the line of demarcation into north korea. that struck me as the moment where it was clear they're dealing with a sophisticated guy. he understands stage craft. he understands imagery. and i think for donald trump, a president who understands stage craft and imagery, it had to be an interesting moment to take the measure of this man he'll be dealing with. robert: inside ofhe white house, are they thinking of the stage craftheelves? eatheater of big deal with kim jong un ory thinking be the conditions they want to set before the meeting? yamiche: i thinkt isoth. at the white house they are very into imagery and president trump knows very much that he wants to lo
