that's how the kim family has been in charge on the korean peninsula. if he can't give them the things they like, they may turn in a different direction. >> dana: there's a question also about what kim is thinking as he heads into this. is he wanting to be seen as an equal now? that he's also a nuclear power, if indeed he does have those weapons? take a look to what john bolton said an hour ago on the show with harris. watch. >> i think president trump has foreshortened this very dramatically and i think he's made it clear that we're not going to let this drag out, that north korea is not going to get the time. and so i would say, you know, why wait till the end of may? let's do this by the end of march. if kim jong-un isn't really seriously prepared to talk about the logistics of denuclearization, i think it could be a very short meeting. >> dana: dennis, you think that is reasonable? let's get this show on the road in no need to wait? >> well, i think there needs to be some preparation on the u.s. side. i agree, the sooner the better. one of the things

kim jong-un. i think that's another step that has to be taken by our diplomats. ish: ed col hundreds, south korea is -- ed rollins. south korea is acting like a catalyst to get the president and kim jong-un together. they said kim jong-un expressed eagerness at meeting president trump. is anything being lost on the south koreans that they should be aware of. ed: he's put a lot on the line here as well as we have. i think the critical thing is unlike most of traditional diplomatic efforts that come out of the state department. i would urge the expertise here is just as jack keane said, i think the defense department has to be very, very involved in this discussion, and certainly general mattis, the secretary of defense has to be involved in this. it isn't swapping rice bags. it's about weapons and people with great knowledge hewitt goes -- a with a great knowledge of how it goes. the team the president puts together has to be a team with a great understanding and capacity. if they tried to make this a jared effort it would be idiotic. trish: jared kushner won't lea

an acknowledgement there i think of the surprise that was involved with this visit by kim jong un the first that he has taken as leader out of the country indeed the surprise that many felt when donald trump accepted the invitation to hold a meeting with the leader of north korea kim jong un in fact chinese state media reported that kim said he was willing to have that summit with donald trump and it was the first time that we had a direct confirmation from the north korean side of plans to go forward with that meeting there were indications that even the north koreans were surprised that trump accepted that invitation so there are a lot of moving parts here now on the korean peninsula for the south korean side they are moving ahead with plans for an intercom summit on thursday there will be a high level meeting at the d.m.z. at the border that separates the two koreas and we are expecting china's top diplomat to be in seoul to brief the south korean government on the meeting between xi jinping and kim jong un there is a massive that's the united nations as the security council should be ashamed that t

that we are falling out of washington with a national security advisor for south korea has just announced that kimong un has extended an invitation to meet with president donald trump . >> i told tracy i -- i told president donald trump at our meeting that the north korean leader kim jong un has said he is committed to denuclearization. he pledged that north korea will refrain from any further nuclear test. he understands that the routine joint leadership exercises between the united states and south korea must continue. he has expressed eagerness to meet president donald trump as soon as possible. president donald trump officiated the briefing and said he would meet kim jong un by may to achieve total denuclearization. >> that is the south korea national security advisor speaking about 20 minutes ago outside of the white house. he said that north korea will see! not do anymore nuclear testing. >>> we are getting a look at a san francisco police office defense in a hit-and-run crash in north beach back in 2015. the trial for this man is now underway, and he is accused of crashing his personal car.

but first north korean leader kim jong un has been treated to a lavish welcome by the chinese president xi jinping during a secretive visit to. aging and china says pyongyang is prepared to get rid of its nuclear weapons it's kim's first trip abroad since taking power in two at eleven and the first time he has met president xi face to face relations between china and north korea have cooled in recent times and this historic meeting comes at a time of intense diplomatic activity on the korean peninsula as preparations are made for summits between the north and the south as well as between pyongyang and washington let's go live now to our correspondent in beijing adrian brown so the chinese have delivered a very positive the verdict on this first meeting between the two leaders. yes indeed martin so he was here after all despite the attempts by foreign ministry officials to try and deny they had any knowledge of kim jong un in the country of course he was here in fact for three days state media finally confirming that on wednesday morning and ever since then we've had a torrent of images

kim jong un has pledged he will refrain from further nuclear tests with the understanding that military exercises will continue to be necessary. here's the big news on that potential meeting. he said kim jong un has requested to meet with president donald trump as soon as possible were his words. and he said the president has agreed to do so by may. we're going to dig in to all of this. this is an announcement coming from south korea after hours of meetings inside of the white house today. and the president came into the press briefing room a short time ago and said there would be a big announcement coming from south korea on the north. i want to check in with john roberts. he's outside the white house for us right now. john, did you hear what i heard? >> i heard exactly what you heard. and i thought to myself: we're going on a trip and we're going to be going on a trip very soon, some time before may is what chung yong said. the president has said he will meet with kim jong un. difficult to overstate the historic nature of this for an american president to agree to one-on-one talks wit

the south koreans have said that kim jong-un has committed himself to a path of denuclearization. if the south koreans are telling the truth, i think kim jong-un is now in a position he can not go back to the people with this agreement. why we have heard no propaganda inside of north korea about this. trish: i am curious about that. is there any spin at all or no talk period? >> there is no talk of this. and you can understand why because it is very difficult to explain this to the north korean people. we also got to remember, there was very little talk about the olympics inside of north korea. trish: right. >> this is just hermetically sealed regime they're afraid of talking about most things. trish: my goodness. do you think it is possible that they would give up their weapons? >> they certainly don't want to, but on the other hand if kim doesn't have money he can't launch missiles, he can't detonate nukes, he can't engage in gift politics, buying of mercedes and rolexes giving them to senior regime elements to buy loyalty. this is what the kim has done for decades. if you don't

kim has been calling the tunes. kim has been calling the shots.nd the biggest powers in the world which always obliged. kim beckons, they listen. we have to change that dynamic. we have to make sure that kim feels so pressured his back against the wall that it's either regime collapse or he spends the rest of his life in posh exile or ereforms and denuclearizes. we are not there yet. >> what does the u.s. have to gain by coming to the table here? >> not a lot. i mean, mr. trump will end up legitimating him. a summit meeting is unlike a blind date. it must be clear of, devoid of any surprises, spontaneities, annate ma, and for mr. trump to presume that he with his innate charm and ingenuity and brilliance and the art of the deal and so on can get this dictator who is the third generational leader of a dynasty that's been in power for 70 years, a regime that's been pursuing nuclear weapons for half a century to get this kind of dictator to give out up, that is a fallacy. >> that's a high stakes view there. thank you for joining us today. >>> thank y

. >> would you agree, as i sort of intimated in the lead-in to you, that actually kim has been leading this diplomatic charge, kim jong-un? >> in some sense, i think that's right. when he met with the south koreans and south koreas came to say to president trump that he had an offer from kim jong-un to initiative.was a real and president trump flexibly and quick lly responded and said he was willing to meet. that has really transformed the landscape in terms of how -- what are the options for resolving this issue short of war. >> so it looks like these meetings, first with the south korea president and then with president trump, are going to happen. and i spoke to a previous -- actually he worked during the bush administration nuclear negotiator ambassador chris hill. he said the following about what would be the optimum and the most negative aspects of any such meeting between the u.s. and north korean leaders. just take a listen for a moment. >> i think success has to deal with denuclearization. and i think if kim jong-un repeats that he's prepared to give up his nuclear weapons but

invitation to visit north korea and told kim he was welcome to visit china now and then the visitors left happy adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. now the u.s. president has weighed in on kim jong un's visit to china they're saying and we quote received a message last night from xi jinping of china that his meeting with kim jong un went very well and that kim looks forward to his meeting with me in the meantime and unfortunately maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained at all cost that said the situation on the korean peninsula has changed rapidly over the past year north korea conducted its sixth nuclear bomb test and launched intercontinental ballistic missiles over japan the us president and north korean leader exchange angry rhetoric trump promised fire and fury or kim threatened attacks on u.s. territory but then there was an apparent olive branch kim's new year's speech over talks with the south and participation in the twenty eighteen winter olympics delegation including his sister kim jong traveled across the demilitarized zone and this helped set up plans meetings between the north and south with pyongyang and washington now kim has made

welcome to the program north korean leader kim jong un has met chinese president xi jinping for the first time during a secretive visit to beijing it's kim's first trip abroad since taking power in two thousand and eleven details of the meeting were only revealed after it had taken place relations between china and north korea of cooled in recent times yet the visit comes ahead of planned summits between the north and the south as well as between pyongyang and washington d.c. so we have two correspondents following this story we'll get to kathy novak in seoul in a moment but let's speak to adrian brown first in the chinese capital in adrian i mean what does this say about chinese influence the fact that these two leaders have that and china certainly putting a stamp of. the matter ahead of the north koreans future meetings with both south korea and the u.s. . absolutely right so this is a real diplomatic triumph for president xi jinping he has pulled off a coup on the world stage just weeks after he was cemented his position as china's most powerful leader in more than four decades becaus

president's anticipated meeting with north korean leader kim jong-un. trump hasreviously said he wants to meet kim by the end of may. irish officials have reportedly been told to expect new plans imminently from the u.k. on how it plans to avoid a post-brexit hard border. officials have been promised concrete details on what alternative plans theresa may's government has beyond the so-called backstop plan. the british pound rose on the news. global news 24 hours a day powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts. you can find more stories on the bloomberg. rout from theh u.s. has spread to asia. the likes of tencent winging on hong kong. nintendo on the nikkei in japan. down by 2% even though we have started to see some yen weakness. ufc in the uyou have seen the australian close. we are awaiting a decision from thailand. there has been some uptick in the asian currencies, including the korean yuan, as we have gotten these geopolitical tensions. stocks are being sold off and the regional index back to where it was on friday. in terms of stocks we are watchi

rex tillerson said that it's not a surprise that kim has decided to come to the table. t was surprising the rapidity at which kim jong-un seemed to change his path. tlths still there's still a lot of skepticism, trace. is he just trying to play the united states and buy some time if he gets a deliverable nuclear weapon on an icbm. >> trace gallagher: fox news confirming the president used his trump organization e-mail address while communicating with stormy daniels. >> reporter: stormy daniels' attorney says he's come across an mil that was to a bank that michael cohen issued on a trump organization e-mail. we'll hear from the other parties involved here, what difference does it make what e-mail address you use, but the point that he's trying to make here is if he was using a trump organization e-mail to either make the payment or negotiate the terms of the nda, as has been claimed by sources, then the president had to know about it. michael cohen has said the president didn't knee about this, the trump campaign not involved. he says, quote, once again the idea that mr.

i agree that kim should go to china, has to speak with president xi, but kim got a full state visit inhing. this was another pr win for the north koreans, before they've actually done anything. and it looks to me like kim jong-un is driving this ship. the united states used to be the director, the producer, and star of every coalition against north korea, including the trump administration's pressure campaign. and now you look at the president's tweet, he received information from president xi on what happened. we're no longer in the driver's seat in my opinion. >> what do you think? >> well, i think, we've already accomplished something big. because before, both the bill clinton administration and bush administration had to bribe north korea just to get to the negotiating table. >> how'd that work out? >> we gave them billions and billions and they took the goods, just didn't deliver. so just getting north korea agreeing to meet and put their leader out there, which didn't happen in previous negotiations, you know, there's going to be give and take in any negotiation. so i wouldn't sa

certainly taken a toll on the north korean economy and it of course may be one of the reasons why kim jong un has come to china now now with these pictures of president xi jinping and kim jong un together shaking hands smiling we're being led to believe that these two allies are once more close again that normal service in a sense has now been resumed china has really rolled out the red carpet albeit a red carpet that was rolled out during complete secrecy kim was given a full welcoming ceremony with military honors inside the great hall of the people and of course this was his first visit outside of north korea and the fact that his meeting was with president xi jinping of course gives enormous face to china's leader or we did see a lengthy statements come out about the meeting from the chinese state run news agency but what was at the heart of these discussions do you think. i think virtually jingping wanted to know what kim's strategy would be during his upcoming summit with president donald trump i think you know china regards anything that happens on the north korean peninsula involving nucl

>> i think there are several drivers for why kim is reaching out now. and much haseen said about wanting to reduce sanctions, implementation, the so-called maximum pressure strategy the trump administration has been leading. so sanctions are probably biding a bit. but i also think he wants to try to lure south korea away from the u.s. and to test the alliance, and how strong that alliance is. and -- but i think there are also the fact that he might enjoy the attention. if you look at all the newspapers that are plastered with kim jong-un holding court with the south korean delegation, he looks pretty confident. he's in charge. the fact that this meeting was in pyongyang and he's hosting it means he can control the scope and the timing and the venue for these talks. and he has also invited his wife to these -- to at least one dinner, which shows that -- which is his way of trying to show the world that north korea is a normal power and that he is the peace-maker in the region and not the trump administration. >> well, president trump, you heard me say in the introduc

has never seen. >> rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> reporter: kim has called trump mentally deranged and an old lunatic. trump has called kim a maniac, a madman and a sick puppy. but last year, the president also described kim as a, quote smart cookie. and tonight, the next step in their relationship, to be determined. >> so let's get to jon karl. he is live at the white house tonight. and jon, even with sarah sanders talking about the preconditions in the briefing, your sources saying they are very much planning to move forward with this meeting? >> reporter: a senior white house official, david, just told me there are, in fact, no new preconditions. no promise on de-nuclearization from the north koreans. the policy that was announced last night remains. the only promises from the north koreans are they will stop for now, their nuclear tests and missile tests and accept the joint military kpexercises with the u.s. and south korea. officials here david, are fully expecting and planning for a meeting with donald trump and kim jong-un. >> all right, jon k

president trump has agreed to meet the north korean leader, kim jong—un within the next 7 weeks. merican president has ever met with a leader of north korea. the regime in pyongyang has agreed to stop missile testing for as long as talks continue, and to talk about denuclearisation. a south korean delegation met the leader of the north, earlier this week — this was their statement, from the white house, in the past few hours. i told president trump that in our meeting, of both korean leaders, kim jong—un said he is committed to denuclearisation. kim pledged that north korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests. he understands that the routine joint military exercises between the republic of korea and the united states must continue. and he expressed his eagerness to meet president trump as soon as possible. president trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet kim jong—un by may, to achieve permanent denuclearization. in south korea, they are used to being not too optimistic. our correspondent in seoul, laura bicker, described how these unprecedented de

kim has -- chairman kim has stated there wilo further provocation as long as the dialogues continue. oodruff: does your government trust the leader of north korea? mean, the people who watch north korea closely say it has violated every agreement it's entered into in recent history >> it's not a matter of trusting. it's a matter of approaching the opportunity presented with god will, and we have -- we have -- my president has been om the very beginning consistent and persistent in his mesge about north korea, and that message has been north korea's missiles nuclear program will never be accepted, but we want to engage to find a peaceful resolution. this is a much better situation, i think we all agree, than we found ourselves mid last year or even at the end of last year. >> woodruff: you mentioned the sanctions imposeon the noth. why do you think their leader kim jong un wants this meeting? i mean, aft e all theffort, all the energy, resources theye poured into building up their nuclear weapons program that can strike the united states, certainly strike countries in the region, why d

lilian kim has the story. >> the motion passes 6-1. >> reporter: after months of discussion, the san francisco police commission voted on a taser policy, one that was more restrictive than one desired by the san francisco police officer's association. they voted to call tasers weapons as opposed to devices. >> i think in order to have credibility with the public, we need to be honest about what this thing is, it's a weapon. >> reporter: another key point, stronger language about when they can use a taser. they can only tuesday when a person is violently resisting arrest. as written in a june ballot mess usual. that proposal seeks voter approval on a taser policy it crafted on its own. >> this is a weapon that has the potential to be lethal. i think it should be at a higher level, and i think it should be very clear what we mean. >> reporter: the commission's policy sparked a wide range of opinions from appreciation to disgust. >> these calm discussions of torturing our people, that we act like this is intelligent and calm, when we're talking about torture. i'm just appalled at this w

kim president xi jinping so this i think is a reminder. china did not want president from to get all the limelight but he has expected meeting with president kim in several weeks time and i think it also demonstrates that actually china continued to have sway over north korea the question is this who what motivates thing to invite president clinton here or did president kim did kill him off to come to beijing if so what is china but it wasn't a threat of more sanctions or have they given him new incentives either way it demonstrates to the united states i think that once you know because once you know peace talks begin about the house the result the crisis on the korean peninsula china will have to play a pivotal role will we be expecting the chinese to release any more information on this trip at all or does it just end here. look i don't know i think that inevitably more details are going to speak out during the day i think what would be significant is whether the chinese release a picture of president xi jinping shaking hands we can younger than that of course would would demonstrate as i say that you know it's in a sense business as us

has kim jong-un just not heard or has he forgotten all of that? >> kim jong-un has made no concession whatsoever to seemingly offer the concession of, oh, in the meantime, we won't conduct any more nuclear and missile tests or that we are amenable to due nuclearization talks. it's basically a criminal pledging to simply uttering that i will henceforth abstain from those illegal activities. those activities are prohibited under more than ten u.n. security council resolutions. what does he seek again to dilute, to weaken the sanction's regime and then to trap the united states into making meaningful concessions like a peace treaty which would call into question the very recent withdrawal of troops. and the weakening of u.s. support for south korea. president trump said something very powerful in addressing the south korean parliament last year. he said, speaking of the basic internal dynamic in the korean peninsula, the sheer existence, the very existence of a thriving democratic south korean republic threatens the very survival of the north korean d

obviously take a look at the top stories here doubters here are the north korean leader kim jong un has pledged to get rid of his country's nuclear weapons and his first face to face talks with china's president pyongyang state media says she jim ping also accepted an invitation from kim to visit north korea kathy novak has more from seoul. there's a suggestion that perhaps sanctions that have been imposed are starting to bite and that is what's forcing kim jong un to the table but on the other hand the narrative that certainly north korea wants to promote is that kim jong un is more confident now that he has solidified his position and his nuclear and missile weapons program and he can come to the table be seen he wants to be seen as a world leader that can negotiate with the likes of xi jinping and donald trump confident in the knowledge that he has this missile program that he has built up the u.s. ambassador to the united nations his own members of the security council should be ashamed that the bombing of eastern ghouta continues despite a cease fire agreement that he haley blamed

korea's national security adviser who announced president trump's acceptance of kim jong-un's invitation. south korea has acted as the liaison in recent talks between north korea and the u.s. they say kim is committed to what's being called paramount denuclearization. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson says president trump has been open to meeting kim for a while. >> this is something that he has had on his mind for quite some time so it was not a surprise in any way because i think this is long been something -- he expressed it openly before that his willingness to meet with kim jong-un. so now it's a question of ei

kim jong un has never sat down face-to-face with another world leader.tion team advisor says the president will never get the credit he deserves for this diplomatic breakthrough. >> the resistance will never admit that trump was able to make this breakthrough. the question is what will come from a face-to-face meeting with the president? this is the modern-day nixon goes to china. now makes this guy look like a choir by compared to the brutal dictatorship. if trump is able to make a modicum of difference turning back the clock on the nuclear program, this is going to be huge. it will be good for the region. >> could any other president have done this? >> hard to believe they could. he is so unorthodox. he is willing to do things others would never entertain. he goes around people and things that are totally unexpected. jillian: the meeting will happen by may. rob: the moment deputies were told to stay out of the florida high school where students and teachers were being murdered. >> we don't have any description. heard some shots fired. do not approach,

kim has created no end of trouble for them.ink there were probably some stern words exchanged whoever was in that meeting. and china will have reminded north korea what they said last august, and that is if you start trouble, you are on your own. that was one of the key breakthroughs that led over time to this place where we're now about to have an important summit and we have a chance to pull this back from the brink. i'm glad to see china doing this. they are communist countries. they like to keep it quiet. i see this meeting as definitely a positive step forward. >> neil: now i'm going to be reading the novel of mark, but it's an effort on the chinese part to say, we are so over you, kim jong-un. you have been such an embarrassment. you're going away. you're taking a little trip. >> i don't know if it's going to go that far, but it is good to see that they're continuing to work with the maximum pressure campaign. and i do think to rebecca's point, when they said if you make trouble, you're on your own, that's a significant s

the prospect of a stunning cap--- --rump-kim has turned into an opportunity.ighting of the korean war ended with no peace treaty. >> i think this will be a turning point. it this, ourwiuture children benefit from living in a more free and peaceful world. >> i think it is a good thing for both countries. as a south korean citizen, it is good that the threat of war is reduced even by a little. >> even if things turn out well, it will benet the people in rth korea. in the past, when the south korean president divided aid to north korea, i heard almost none of it went to the common people. i don't think it is going to turn out well. >> decades ofus disand suspicion divided north and south. people have learned that hope can be a bad thing. i'm told it is hard to tell what his progress and what is propaganda. >> a strong word of caution, the road a complicated, very complex. there is no guarantee that the north will ever give up its nuclear weapons easily if at all. >> these talks are a huge political gamble. president's moon and chop -- trump could beeing played, o

jong un and his wife that in itself was seen as a landmark the first time that kim has met officials from south korea we're still waiting to get more details on what a summit will look like but there is a lot at stake given the advancement of north korea on its missile and nuclear program and one j.n. of south korea says that all of this is a denuclearizing the north korean peninsula but critics have argued that north korea seems to be so close to gaining a long range nuclear missile that it is almost inconceivable that it would concede anything on the nuclear front the other reason for this mission to take place is to advance a possible dialogue between north korea and the united states so far on that front we have heard nothing. calendar says u.s. plans for tariffs on steel and alimony and imports are absolutely unacceptable prime minister justin trudeau told donald trump tariffs will hinder renegotiations of the north american free trade agreement the latest trade deal talks have ended in mexico city with little success john holliman explains. even from three thousan

should it take place from the very beginning when the announcement of the meeting between trump and kim has made headlines world over except for pyongyang rob mcbride has more for us from south korea's capital seoul. if you are in north korea right now and you do not have access to an outside source of information then you will not know about the historic summit in all six pages of the road long since this is the state controlled main party newspaper there's not one mention of it the only related item is an article attacking the latest u.s. sanctions which it says are a further provocation possibly leading to war the problem in north korea is a propaganda machine that turns out a daily diet of common trees all the tacking the imperialist united states as the great war monger how do you now turn around and tell your people your leader is about to sit down and have a friendly chat with the leader of your arch enemy even harder it seems will be explaining that in preparation for this is sturrock summit you have put on hold work on your intercontinental ballistic missile this has been heralded

the north koreans, that has had a real impact on the regime, on the north korean economy, and has caused kim jong-un to reach out and say he wants to begin to have discussions on terms that the united states has never achieved before. that is where we find ourselves today and we are going to work hard to make sure that we get what it is the president has set out very clearly for his entire time in office, which is the complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization of north korea. >> brennan: are we in direct contact with north korea? >> i think secretary tillerson said there are channels open. >> brennan: but we haven't heard back whether kim will accept what the president has said is his willingness to meet as soon as may? >> i don't want to get into the conversations that may or may not be taking place, the president has indicated he is prepared to go have an initial discussion on this incredibly important topic and we are preparing for that time. >> brennan: now, the president accepted this invitation fairly quickly on the promise as you gestured to of a pause in missile and nuclear te

saluted heartbreak in their well now we had to china where it has been officially confirmed north korean leader kim jong un has met with chinese president xi jinping in beijing his first foreign visit since he assumed power back in two thousand and eleven now kim reportedly told she that he was committed to denuclearization and resolving conflict on the border this meeting is seen as a crucial preparatory step in the lead up to two landmark summits in may both between north korea and the u.s. and between the two koreas themselves for more let's bring in our correspondent bolin juror who is standing by with the very latest for us from beijing so let's hear what more do we know about what these two leaders discussed. we don't know really a lot of specific detail as we have seen lengthy statements praising the relationship and the common history and the chief ment's of each other there was no mention of beijing having made any promises to ease sanctions nor any specific steps to achieving this denuclearization i think probably there is the most important thing is the signal that goes out to the world

an acknowledgement there i think of the surprise that was involved with this visit by kim jong un the first that he has taken as leader out of the country indeed the surprise that many felt when donald trump accepted the invitation to hold a meeting with the leader of north korea kim jong un in fact chinese state media reported that kim said he was willing to have that summit with donald trump and it was the first time that we had a direct confirmation from the north korean side of plans to go forward with that meeting there were indications that even the north koreans were surprised that trump accepted that invitation so there are a lot of moving parts here now on the korean peninsula for the south korean side they are moving ahead with plans for an intercom summit on thursday there will be a high level meeting at the d.m.z. at the border that separates the two koreas and we are expecting china's top diplomat to be in seoul to brief the south korean government on the meeting between xi jinping and conjunction. u.s. president gave his reaction to the meeting on twitter he wrote received a message last
