kim jong-un didn't know about it doesn't make sense at all. no credibility there. there are a couple problems with president trump believing kim jong-un. number it's morally suspect, you know? it's a terrible problem there. and number two, i mean, if he believes kim jong-un, what kind of faith are we supposed to have in his national security judgment? so it's a problem. >> yeah, and you bring me to my next point, joseph. cnn's jake tapper, he asked about the pattern of trump accepting foreign leaders' words over the u.s. community. trump said he believed putin when he denied election meddling, believing when he was not claiming to be responsible for jamal khashoggi's death. >> as i said, the position set by the president is we want a full accounting from the saudis. i think that's entirely consistent with finding out getting to the bottom of what happened. >> peter, when president trump says he didn't tell me he knew about it, referring to kim jong-un, and i will take him at his word, isn't that completely taking the side of kim jong-un, and that's a disturbing pattern we're seeing about how the president sides with autocrats around the world

kim jong-un. following the summit we exclusively spoke with the president before he departed vietnam. here is part 1 of that interview. great to see you. >> thank you very much. >> sean: summit number 2. when i heard kim jong-un was asked, are you ready to denuclearize? he said i would not be here. you said that might be the best answer you ever heard. >> we are working towards something. we did not sign anything. it didn't quite work out. i was not satisified and perhaps he was not satisified. i decided this was not the right time to sign something. >> sean: we have known each other over two decades. "the art of the deal," one of the key components you say you always have to be able to walk up to the last second? >> yes. whether it's reagan or anybody. you have to be prepared to walk. this would not have been good for our country. and maybe he can look at it the same way. we get along well. it's of he is a different kind of a guy. i said this won't be working. i have a feeling something down the line will happen. it will be good. .>> sean: your choice? >> let's a both. -- say both. we will get something worked out. >> sean: can you give us inside where the sticking point was? >> w

he and kim jong-un had had a number of conversations about what might be done to denuclear ize northorea and kim offered a partial deal, you know the president has been very clear that he doesn't want to make the same mistakes as past administrations, and he proposed to kim what he talked about really going back to singapore is what he called the big deal. the north korea completely denuclearize and in exchange for that there was a very bright economic future for the north korean people and they went around on this several times. they had a full exchange of views as the saying goes and it was clear they weren't going to reach agreements so what the president did was he put it, to walk away in a friendly way from the discussion, he said he's prepared to beat kim jong-un again and no date is set or anything like that, but it's possible that north korea will go back and rethink the position they came in with and come back to talk to the president about the big deal. maria: yeah, switching gears to china, there has not been a date set yet for the president to meet with at mar-a-lago as t

kim jong un had met with u.s. president donald trump in june twenty eight hundred and committed to denuclearizing the korean peninsula. example number three. governments spy on other countries for many reasons. it can be useful. to assess the state of the oil reserves to do that they monitor oil tanks and look at the shadows cast within their rims. the tanks are floating roofs that rise and fall with the oil level. here there's no shadow because the tank is full and the roof is right near the top. but here the satellite image shows the tank is nearly empty the larger the shadow the lower the oil level. not just governments but also investors can benefit from such information it can be worth a fortune on the stock market. example number four. major retail chains higher companies to carry out such a light surveillance of the competition focusing on their parking lots over a period of months a program counts the number of cars in order to determine which locations are doing the most business. with that data a retailer can figure out in what city and in which part of the city it's worth building a new store. example number five. to seve

kim jong-un arrived at hanoi. john: he hadn't arrived at hotel. he was at the train station at the china-street a number border.he north korean delegation as well as the white house press corps. every time we go to a city around the world with the president we set up a white house filing center. we set this up a couple weeks in advance. it costs tens of thousands of dollars. when kim jong-un got to that train station true mores started flying around that he was upset that we were in his hotel. just before that filing sr. officially opened tuesday morning, we got an email from the white house saying we are moving the filing center to the international press center. logistically it was a huge hurdle to get over. but principle more than anything, we have never had to shut down and move a file center in a hotel because there was a complaint by a foreign leader. howie: the dominant story was the michael cohen hearings back in d.c. john: not at all. whether it was president clinton, bush, obama and now president trump, it seemser time we go overseas there is another story that knocks whatever the president is doing,

a number of these pranks in different countries as well before the operation against kimjong—nam. i think as well before the operation against kim jongcourt, will be important because she has got to persuade the judge that although the evidence is there, that she did smear a substance on kim jong—nam's face that we now know was that lethal nerve agent, that she didn't know she was doing and that is the case she was doing and that is the case she needs to make. we will be back to you as the case progresses. to new zealand now where health authorities are responding to an outbreak of measles. the country's canterbury region has now seen 28 cases of the highly—contagious disease confirmed. extra supplies of vaccine are being delivered to medical practices in the region, with around 18,000 doses expected to be available this week. health authorities say people are considered immune if they've received two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, if they've had measles previously or if they were born before 1969. under—immunised people who come within two metres of an infected person have a 90% chance of contracting measles. earli
