they are not to get wind of the millions the kim family earns at their expense. total doldrums of the record when i was a worker too but i didn't get anything for 6 or 8 months. i worked myself to the bone. so i reckoned why not help myself this man spent many years in siberia prior to his defection he worked his way up to management level feeling remorse he wanted to break his years of silence in the hope that his testimony could help other former foreign workers who are still prisoners of the system or. where we moved out of the world on the people positioned above the workers siphon off huge sums of money from those salaries for themselves sort of let's say our bosses land a contract for $10000000.00 or so tell us that it's 7000000 was a little bit and we tell our foreman that it's even lower maybe 5000000. so even then we're still able to transfer our mandatory share to the regime. another trick is to negotiate 60 men for a job then we arrange to use only 20 and we send the rest elsewhere that means we can put aside a pile of money for ourselves. in a good mo

time was running out i wanted to leave quickly so that we could get something to eat as our leader kim il sung died in july 994 and starting a year later and may 995 the state was no longer able to provide the normal food ration people started to panic. this was the 1st time they had reduced the russians feel good i had a 2 year old daughter over there in order to leave you had to be married and have children if you don't have any children they won't let you out i thought a family of 4 or 5 can live for at least 6 months on my salary of over $120.00 a month if i sent it in pyongyang with her with a new crew. and after 2 months we asked why we weren't getting paid hundreds and they said they had not been instructed by the party to pay our salary for the party in north korea was kim jong il our commander in chief. that answer silenced us either they were hundreds of workers had to keep their mouths shut. we kept on working at night to using our flashlights. so that we can fight off sleep and just carry on. i kept working like that for 5 months and all that time i didn't get paid. i felt

kim was lynn's best friend. youth camp. >> when i first met her, she came flying into the room bigger than life and she jumped up on one of the bunks and said, tell me who you like here. >> reporter: was she talking about boys then? >> yeah, she was. i'm like looking at her going, who is this wild woman? >> reporter: lynn was funny and fiery and full of life. kim knew she liked lynn right away, but it was their shared spirituality that cemented their friendship. >> we both were committed to serving god, and she would just draw you in. and she cared about you. and she wanted to pray for you. she wanted to know what you needed. >> reporter: lynn was already out of college and working. kim was still in school. but they shared prayers and secrets. lynn told kim what she wanted in a man. >> a christian husband, somebody who loved the lord, was a leader and strong but yet general. and we talked about it. you know, if i started dating someone or if she did and -- we had a check and, you know, we talked about that. i do

kim: look how cute he is. >> these are my helpers. kim: do they help you every single time?> no of course not. they have other things they like to do as well. they have about a 10 or 20 minute attention span for the project. kim: that's pretty good i commend you for that. they have been in various things. xander has done some welding on the car. my daughter has helped gluing the panels together and also putting the carbon fiber encapsulation on area that she has learned a lot about chemistry, physics, engineering. both of them are doing very well in that area. me ask the kids, are you the best dad ever? >> yes. >> definitely. i think you are one cool dad and please keep us posted on the progress of the car. projectsn see, stem don't necessarily just me books and robotics. could build a car with your son or daughter. and how incredible would that be? i have a special guest to play brand-new or not true. this will be so much fun. we will see if my friend can win here on komando. how would you like to listen to my show on your amazon alexa? laura is one of the biggest radio sho

very clearly taking kim eastside again -- kim eastsi's side against t united states. >> kim is taking with this relationship and president so badly wants to maintain this with kim jithat he gives him a pass. the north koreans understand the purpose of those exercises and they are a defensive in nature and the reason we need to do them is because of the turnover. every year everybody out there does a one-year tour. so you need to have those exercises for readiness purposes. kim jong-un and his military understand all that. this is just so much -- >> otherwise you have americans. i've been over there. these are young folks that come and do their tour, if they don't get trained and something happens, they are not ready. i want to ask about sue gordon. the country's number two intelligence official is stepping down. i know you know her well. sources tell us that the timing of this decision became urgent because on thursday dan coats we know well interrupted a meeting she was holding. she was having a meeting on election security. he runs in and we understand it's urgent and says i need yo

so so is kim jong un sending the u.s. mixed messages? a little later in the show retired four-star general jack keane will join us with his analysis on that and the stakes involved. eric: well, president trump firing back at critics of his longtime new york friend and fellow real estate developer billionaire stephen ross. that after ross, who's the owner of the miami dolphins and two fancy fitness centers, equinox and soul cycle, he hosted a fundraiser for the president at his home yesterday in the hamptons on long island. as a result, ross is facing growing calls for boycotts of his businesses in the hatchtons and manhattan -- hamptons and manhattan. rich edson, the president is spending his working vacation at bed with minister. hi, rich. -- bedminster. >> reporter: good afternoon, eric. the president on his first full day of this week-and-a-half-long trip in new jersey, he went to a couple of fundraisers, one of them hosted by steven ross, as you mentioned. the billionaire developer, but also his companies own equinox, soul cycle. the

it was an abject failure for kim jong-un.orth korean leaders don't do failures. >> reporter: could this latest adjustment to kim jong-un's authority be designed to head off any threat from inside north korea? analysts say it's not likely he's facing any internal threats at the moment but they say that could change if the north korean economy spirals further or if kim leads north korea into some military conflict which might lead his generals to turn against him. >> on the security front, kim might have an advantage now because south korea and japan, they are squabbling. >> that's right, wolf. south korea did pull out of its intelligence sharing agreement with japan. u.s. officials are very upset about that. they're saying south korea's move is increasing the risk to u.s. forces. >> brian todd reporting. thank you. coming up, the breaking news. state of emergencies in florida, parts of georgia as hurricane dorian is expected to make landfall as a very powerful storm. an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your

the nuclear program is kim jong-un's crown jewel, so to speak.im's objective is to get president trump focused on something else, like the cost of a joint military exercise or the short-range missile tests which are dangerous, while kim jong-un continues to make progress on his on inventional and unconventional capabilities. president trump's strategy, i struggle to see what it is other than to say that he's made progress on anything but denuclearization. he pointed yesterday to the return of hostage remains and some other small steps that north korea has taken. but there has been no progress on denuclearization and the intelligence community, there's reporting that they have assessed that north korea has increased their nuclear capabilities. if they meet again, north korea will have an enhanced nuclear capability since these talks began rather than having engaged in denuclearization. >> wow. all right. samantha vinograd, thank you so much. >>> coming up, the deadly mass shooting in ohio and texas now have film makers in hollywood scrambling as a

jong un, but looking at the relationship between president moon and -- and chairman kim.c: what do you think that will mean, the president said he received a beautiful letter in which kim jong un complained about the joint military exercises as saying basically, it seemed that that's why he's been firing off the missiles, of course, he wants those military exercises stopped, what do you think will happen, what should the president do, how do you think the president should react to the fact that he is still firing missiles and sent him the letter which could lead to a third summit? >> i think we are going to continue to do our exercises, we have a responsibility to defend the korean -- south korean peninsula and we are also going to go forward looking at the diplomacy and set up the framework that president trump has envisioned with previous two discussions with kim jong un in singapore and vietnam, i think our team has to be very good communicators and try to stay for the listening game here, deliberate long game, we cannot through diplomacy, in fact, their particular int

what is kim up to now?ling down on a tactic he used for months, trying to drive a wedge between president trump and his south korean ally, moon jae-in. and the north koreans have resorted to using curse words to portray the south koreans in the worst possible light. at north korea's brutal dictator is playing pen pal to the president, is trying to drive a wedge between america and one of its most important allies. kim jong-un's foreign ministry is threatening to freeze south korea out of future nuclear talks, expressing anger over the joint u.s./south korean military exercises under way this week. kim's regime accuses south korea and its president moon jae-in of trying to disguise military drills by changing their name, putting out a rare statement in english that reads an expletive, the hard and dry stinks even if wrapped in a flowered cloth. >> this is the bomb bas we have come to expand of pyongyang's propaganda machine. they're dumping on the south koreans now. they don't respect moon. they're looking f

so what is north korea -- you said emboldening kim.reads these tweets and my friend president trump, referred to in the tweets, what is he thinking? >> it is president trump hinting to kim jong-un, you could do this, but do not launch anni cbm or a nuclear test. it is a veiled warning. don't upset your friend president trump, but at the same time, kim is not getting what he wants out of this or getting sanction relief and he wants to send a message, a preview of what would happen if the sessions don't go his way. he was annoyed when president trump walked out of the hanoi summit and members of his team were severely punished and they gained some of that at the demilitarized zone with president trump last month but the question is will he get results and i think the launches are an attempt to remind everybody that he still has an arsenal and it is also messaging not just for the outside world but for hardliners inside of north korea. because a missile launch is a missile launch, it is looking the same whether it is a short-term or long

growing concerns kim jong-un could be building a submarine, capable of firing nuclear missiles nbc's andrea mitchell has the new photo evidence >> reporter: new satellite images from north korea suggesting what could be a new major nuclear threat from the regime kim jong-un's first submarine able to fire ballistic missiles, according to two national security experts no test appears imminent, but it appears to confirm kim's claim last month when he inspected a new submarine. >> a nuclear tip missile launch from a submarine would be very hard to track, very hard to target, very hard to preemptively stop. >> reporter: more evidence that, despite three meetings with president trump over the past 14 months, kim is expanding and improving his weapons, not denuclearizing as he promised. still, the president keeps downplaying a barrage of recent short-range missile launches, all banned by the u.n. >> i have confidence that in the end, kim jong-un who i've gotten to know very well, will do the right thing. >> reporter: kim jong-un is expected to speak thursday in a rare second meeting this ye

listen this is a serious matter, what this kim jong-un up to with these missile test?he has two strategic goals, he wants to stop exercises between south korea and the united states. second, he was united states to recognize north korea as nuclear power. arthel: there's a statement we have from north korea in a foreign minister on this. i want to read it to you. even the u.s. president need a remark which recognizes the rights of the summer and stay sane of small missile test which a lot of countries do and meanwhile you president trump calling exercises was south korea ridiculous. are they? >> if he feels that way he needs to get his ministration on the same page because it's a trump administration putting together exercises. he is going to continue to persist. he knows trump has collected the benefits of the changing calculus what teaming? kim jong-un thinks he is leverage customer. >> oh yeah because he said i have changed the whole calculus. so if anything new to rates in this relationship trump will pay a political price and election so he is using that leverage,

kim doesn't care about his people.ogs eat his senior advisers if he doesn't like them. so with kim it's all going to be personal. i think trump understands that kim likes sitting down at the big boy table. kim likes being in vietnam, in singapore, he likes being talked about as a world leader. trump has the ability to pull the rug right out from under kim, and then what does he have left? he goes back to the hermit kingdom. he doesn't want to just play we his pals, he likes being on the big boy stage. so i think trump has figured out a way to get new leverage on kim, he hasn't used it yet, but i think that's ooh part of why one week trump says he writes me love letters, and the next week he says, little kim, my rockets are better than yours. it's a psychological weapon against kim. guy: earlier in the show we were talking about some comments in the "wall street journal," an op-ed from jim mattis. and i want to read a quote from his piece today. he says what concerns me most as a military man is not our external adversa

that was the 1st launch since leader kim jong un and u.s. president donald trump met in the demilitarized zone in june or of mcbride is live for us in south korea's capital seoul so rob this will be seen as another provocative act by the north what more are you hearing about this. that's right hasn't this launch took place in basically what's the middle of the night here on the korean peninsula they seem to be getting earlier and you are reminded about something that kim jong un said in one of his summits with the south korean leader moon j.n. last year when they met and he said something with a certain amount of wit apologizing for all of these early morning wake ups with this missile testing saying that these were going to be a thing of the past he realized that he was waking up south korea well it doesn't seem to be a thing of the past anymore as you said there has been this flurry of activity of the 3 launches in basically the past week or so the reason for this flurry of activity now it could be partly monday in reason as explained by s

. >> reporter: a shipyard in north korea suggests kim jong-un's regime is constructing what could be a submarine. according to analysis provided to nbc news, by two social security experts, the images appear to confirm reports by north korea last month showing kim inspecting what state media called a newly built submarine. the national security experts say the images suggest the regime is preparing for a possible test it is not clear that one is imminent. a sea based ballistic missile program would be significantly forward for the north korea dictator's nuclear ambitions. >> when thave submarines that can wander the pacific ocean and get closer to for example guam or hawaii, that puts their nuclear tip missiles in range of u.s. forces and hubs. >> reporter: it could also doom u.s. efforts to denuclearization the korean peninsula. despite three meetings with president trump, kim jong-un has not kept a single commitment to the u.s. even as the president lavishes praise on him. >> kim jong-un, who i've gotten to know extremely well. first lady has gotten to know kim jong-un and i think

they're worried that kim has already played the president, tricking him into accepting north korea'sthe torrent of north korea short range missile tests, ten launches over just one month, tonight are finally taking a toll. according to reuters, japan's defense minister now says his government believes kim jong un's missiles and warheads are declined to penetrate japan's ballistic missile shield. >> these are the kinds of things that gives north korea a bit more of a complication to japan's defense job. >> reporter: a u.s. official tells cnn the u.s. assessment is that north korea is working on missiles that have new maneuvering capabilities, but japan and the u.s. have the ability to deal with them. both countries have destroyers in the sea of japan which have intercepter missiles designed to shoot down some of north korea's missiles and warheads. analysts say japan plans to deploy two new land based missile sites that could shoot down north korean rockets. the north koreans are working on a missile that could evade current defenses. >> it flies low and is maneuvering all the way, go

kim, kim jong-un and north korea have tested three short-range missiles over the last number of days.siles tests are not a violation of our signed sing gore agreement, nor was there discussion of short-range missiles. there may be a united nations violation but -- we don't need to read that. on the security council and the sanctions against north korea? >> it's not that it may be. those short-range missile tests were in fact violations of the u.n. security council resolutions. kim is clearly acting contrary to those international norms and policies. look, trump is trying to keep a measure of dialogue going. he knows the talks have been stalled. there's a lot of work to do. the hanoi summit ended in failure. he's trying to keep the discussion going with kim jong-un to breathe some oxygen into the low-level negotiations. i think what strikes me the difference with president trump and the rest of his team, he's still trying to please kim, he's trying to placate kim and look past the concessions. at the same time, his team is not on the same page. and able to make very little traction wit

duyeon kim, thank you so much for joining this hour. well appreciate it. >>> frustration is simmering in hong kong. despite growing threats from china, the protesters aren't going anywhere. live from the sit-in at hong kong airport when we come back. >>> plus, this man was born in greece and spent most of his life in the u.s., but u.s. immigration officials deported him to iraq, where he died. his story next. woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... man 1: ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. vo: tel

kim jong-un who i've gotten to know extremely well, first lady has gotten to know kim jong-un and i think'd agree with me, he is a man with a country that has tremendous potential. >> wendy sherman, you've negotiated with kim's father, in fact, when we were in pyongyang in 2000 and it's pretty extraordinary that so much has been done since this diplomatic lull started a year ago plus in singapore, kim jong-un promised he'd start to denuclearize, provide inventory. not a single promise has been kept but advancing with short range missile tests and of course now this submarine. >> indeed, one of the more difficult conversations the president had at the g7 was standing with prime minister abe who sees the short range missile tests as a real threat to japan, even if not a threat to the united states of america, and i'm totally with what victor has said. this is the second leg of what we consider a nuclear triad, which is very critical to both u.s. deterrence and u.s. capability. when a country has more than one way to deliver a nuclear weapon, it's not only a greater deterrence, but it's also

earlier this week he said he received a beautiful letter from kim. u.s.ers and a lot of lawmakers call essential to regional security. >> he wasn't happy with the test, the -- the war games, the war games on the other side with the united states. and as you know, i have never liked it either. i've never been a fan. you know why? i don't like paying for it. we should be reimbursed for it. i told that to south korea. i don't like it either >> in a follow-up pair of tweets about kim's letter, he referred to the ridiculous and 13e7bsive exercises and said i look forward to seeing kim jong-un in the not too distant future. while they may not be nuclear or long range, they are all violations. walk me through where the president is on north korea, period. >> so these are ballistic missile tests. as you said, in violation of u.n. resolutions. the president essentially says i don't care. because they're not a threat to american national security. this is a president who doesn't see alliances as part of american power or as part of i think what's important, a part

table and it's also dangled in front of kids and more economically prosperous, that is up to kim and when this president walks away to be a bad deal, several months ago everybody was shocked. he does every time he does not see a good deal for america. he wants to continue to talk to president xi about trade and get a vote -. bill: there is no meeting on the schedule? >> not at the moment lastly on the campaign, friday the president said this about joe biden. >> joe biden is not what i would've pulled back. this is not somebody you can have as your president. but if he gets a nomination i'd be thrilled does the president believe rather that joe biden will be his opponent? >> it is possible, there still 23 or 24 of them running. 20 of the democrats were at least below 1% or at 1%, i am just reading the polls telling you how much democrats are attacking, for being out of touch in working with segregation for not being able to say a couple of numbers to text too, the only one out there who seems to be propping up obamacare which is left 28 millions with no health insurance whatsoever. ma

kim jong-un, who i have gotten to know extremely well. first lady has gotten to know kim jong-un. i think she'd agree with me, he's a man with a country that has tremendous potential. >> so had to be some clarification of that. none of us had ever seen melania trump in hanoi and singapore at the dmz, at any of these meetings with kim jong-un. the former spokesperson for the first lady , chief of staff, clai clarified she's an advisor with the president and he had shared these communications with kim jong-un. these love letters, actually. now we know. she shares in his view, that kim jong-un is really a great guy. >> an advisor in all things. it was a gratuitous lie. no one was waiting for him to cite melania for his views on dear leader. it was just pulled out of the blue. like many things were. you know, he didn't even make up a good excuse for not attending the climate change meeting. chancellor merkel and prime minister modi were at the meeting and he said he was meeting with them separately. the g7 can count on our president as always siding with the rogue regime or the non-al

received a letter from kim.gy for the recent provocations but the president again saying that the joint drills are ridiculous and expensive. >> i'm curious to see what a small apology looks like from kim jong un. >> if it's a long beautiful love letter issued in small apology form. >>> the markets could be volatile as investors express their concern with the trade war with china. let's cross over to london. good to have you with us on this monday morning, could more dramatic drops be in stock for the market or what do you expect to see this week? >> it was a roller coaster week deeply in the red. more than 2.5 percentage points and we did get 3 percentage points in the lows. we saw an escalation between the two sides last week but over the weekend what we have seen is a further weakening of the chinese currency, the yuan, and president trump is saying that there's no dealings under any circumstances for huawei. also they'd apply licenses on case by case basis for u.s. companies. farmers have started to complain

president donald trump and kim jong un of north korea when they met in their surprise and beating at the d.m.z. at the end of june regarding the restart of those negotiations we are prepared to engage and soon as we hear from our counterparts in north korea in a tweet earlier this month president trump revealed that kim jong un had stated in a letter to him that he wanted another meeting soon after these military exercises had ended opening up the possibility of another official summit between the 2 leaders but of course the clock is still ticking on kim jong un's warning that he wants to see a real breakthrough and progress before the end of this year otherwise he has warned that he is likely to resort to another path other than the direction of dialogue. still to come here and al-jazeera nigeria's president swears in the country's new cabinet ministers we'll go live to a b. and we report from the strait of hormuz where a u.k. oil tanker is still being held by iran. had i was about to rain heavily once again for japan and south korea the driving force surprisingly is this rather wea

because of the new rockets kim has been launches aren't the only step s.ackward today north korea rejected more peore talks with south kea a day after south koreens presiddelivered a peach to mark the4th anniversary of korean dependence. during the speech jay inannounced they said his remarks would makd the boiled of a cow laugh. aprently it's a saying there. there isn't much toraise about north korea but their insults are orinal. if you're wondering who in hell ise responsible or reonable when it comes to negotiating peace nor korea or the taliban? looks like it's the taliban right now. the president met with his top security officials to csider a long awaited peace deal with thi taliban in afghaan working on a plane to e the longest war i american history, the peaceful end not the kind of scenario the president brought up a couple of weeks ago. >> we wanted to fight war in afghanistan and win it, i win that war in a week. i just don't want to kill ten million people. does that make sense to you? i don't want to kill ten million people. i have plans on af

he describes kim jong—us as he continue caressing north korea.orea. he describes kim jong—us as he is a friend, a man who brought seem beautiful letters and yet diplomacy appears to have achieved nothing. are you worried about the donald trump strategy? we are in a bit of a lull. i like of an agreement in hanoi has been disappointing. they have not been a ready or prepared to come back to the negotiating table. the north korea laid out promised in late june that they would come back to the negotiating table but by now there is no communication between there is no communication between the us and north korea to set the agenda, to set the date and place for working level negotiations and when they take place. to say this has been a failure or disappointment, no progress has been made, when you look at things on a day to day basis, things look different but if you look at the larger perspective, it is a huge step change to where we were two yea rs step change to where we were two years ago. a huge step change in it that donald trump has given all so

kim jong-un has refrained from doing anhing that would get us back to the fire and fury days of 2017. but he has associated himself t very personally withd he is front and center supervising these tests. he is calibrating these moves carefully, but he has miscalculated before and he can do so again and it is not helpful in termsf tensions. laura: thank you for being with us. there are reports tonight that kim jong-un himself personally oversaw the test firing of those ssiles on friday morning. you are watching "bbc world news igerica." still to come on t's program president trump may hav his buying greenland, but the island says not so fast, we are not for sale. laura: for most of us, school competitions may bring back memories of spelling beesa or rackth meets, bu next story has a two dollars and. the australian bush has species of birds with their own sound and they are being mimicked by students as part of a contest from the 1950's that is being revived. we listen s to how tdents are doing and sounding. do take a listen to the story. reporter: this is thebird olympics. clarity isey
