president leaving early to the surprise of kim jung-un.hat would you say, paula, to the suggestion that this could be an opportunity for kim jung-un to decide to meet or not decide to meet and leaving president trump to effectively say, hey, i was stood up.optics there, one for one, you know. what are your thoughts on that? >> reporter: well, this is certainly a massive decision for the north korean leader and probably one that he didn't think that he would have to make. this is very unusual. certainly not the usual way of doing diplomacy, not way that north korea is used to dealing with the united states. but he knows as well as we all know that this is not your conventional u.s. president. mr. trump was asked about that in the press conference, what happens if kim jung-un decides not to show at the dmz. to which the president said, well, it doesn't matter, he doesn't think that it would be seen as a bad thing and that he went on to point out that kim jung-un clearly follows him on twitter and that moment was passed. but you're right, the

then kim jung-un appeared. walking faster to catch up moon jae-in in the south and kim jung-un in the north >> i never expected to meet you in this place. >> they were separated only by a narrow concrete strip, the demarcation line between the two koreas president trump asked and was invited to cross. >> i asked him, would you like me to come across the line he said i would be honored to do that i didn't know what he was going to say it was my honor to do it >> the first sitting american president to set foot on north korean soil. kim jung-un then stepped over the line into south korea. that president trump wanted to do this had been circulating for weeks real history is often mess . >>> a lot of progress and messy. a lot of friendships 4 been made >> the north korean leader and president trump, advisors and family members went in forex tended talks >> i want to thank chairman kim for something else when i put out the social media invitation, if he didn't show up, the president would be bad 160 miles long, 2.5

and also the once right hand man to kim jung-un hasn't been seen since april.so it is clear that there has been a shakeup, those at the foreign ministry appear to be taking the lead now you when it comes to the united states. >> so again, just reiterating, this information coming from a newspaper in south korea based on one source. so whether we see more confirmation or not, time will tell. but historically speaking, isn't it fair to say that kim jung-un does react pretty harshly with people around him when things don't quite go the way he wants them to go? >> reporter: absolutely, there have been very public reports from north korea of executions. his uncle for example back in 2013. and we know that north korea would have been very surprised by the fact that the hanoi summit ended without agreement. it would have been humiliating for kim jung-un because he had publicly told his people that this summit was going to happen. so clearly he believed that he was going to come back with some kind of an agreement or at least a statement that he could point to as a suc

oh yeah, you do. >>> deceased half brother of kim jung-un was an informant for the zika virus, that accordinge "wall street journal." a source says that there was a nexus between the mvp and kim jong-nam. phil mudd says it may not be so black and white. >> let me give you other alternatives. i witnessed a lot of instances where somebody was talking to the u.s. government because they thought for example -- and i don't know if this is the case, but for example in this instance, they could improve relations between north korea and the united states. or then working with another government, a government in southeast asia for example, and they occasionally met with u.s. officials. i don't know whether he met with u.s. officials or not, but there is a big distance between somebody who was favorable to his former half brother -- or to his half brother or somebody who was a spy. there is a lot of area in between there. >> kim jong-nam died after being poisoned with a nerve agent at the malaysian airport. the two women behind the attack have been released from custody. >>> the last abortion clinic in

there is a possibility, they'll step across the line and shake hands with kim jung-un. it would be a remarkable and historic photo opportunity. as we know, president trump values his relationship with the north korean dictator. he may be looking to amp it up. >> thank you for that if seoul. joining me now senior reporter with business insider and from politic kol and coauthor of politico playbook. thank you for being here so early this morning. trump insisted relations with north korea are good. >> i think it would be personally offensive for president trump. like what was mentioned, the importance of this that it be a photo opportunity. it doesn't say anything about the state of negotiations. what was kind of interesting to me is when he posted that tweet, it seemed reminiscent of sending that tweet before the pageant held in moscow, he said maybe i'll get to meet vladimir putin. it goes in line with his fascination of these leaders. >> listen to what he had to say earlier. >> you'd have to take a look at the words, i did say it. we had a great discussion. president pu

the reason i met with kim jung-un and we had a great meeting because we are all in this together. we want to get this thing solved. it has been going on for a long time. we had a great meeting. it was unexpected. i put out yesterday, maybe i'll meet with chairman kim. he saw it. social media. pretty powerful thing, social media. we left and i said, you know, this was unexpected. we are going to keep a lot of great military people waiting. that's what you do. you love your country. that was a good thing to do. i said, they'll understand. [ cheers and applause ] they'll understand. i said they'll understand. so i'm thrilled to be here this afternoon with the very heroic men and women with the u.s. air force korea, great place, great country. i've toured it all. some day, i'm going to get back home. it has been a long time. days. i left japan. i met with every leader. presidents, prime ministers, dictators. i met them all. our country is doing well. our country has probably never had a better economy than we are doing right now. we are doing great. it is nice to know. you know, you a

those women who smeared the nerve agent on his face say to the best of his knowledge he did believe kim jung nam was meeting with an american intelligence official, and he was privy to all the evidence. we also know in open court one of the police did admit that he had met with an american just fave days before his murder. although at that point they say they couldn't identify the murderer and if he was a spy. >> now saying it has potential saying he got a beautiful letter. that bromance continues. >>> all right, the avengers get a new look for better or worse. cnn business next. go to the post office they have businesses to grow customers to care for lives to get home to they use stamps.com print discounted postage for any letter any package any time right from your computer all the amazing services of the post office only cheaper get our special tv offer a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again! so chantix can help you quit slow turkey.rkey. along with support, chantix is proven to help you quit. with chantix you can keep smo

kim jung attended a seeing off ceremony for she and his wife a highly symbolic visit was the 1st by chinese leader in 14 years the 2 countries agreed to strengthen collaboration on the 3 called major internal and external policy just. on sunday voters in turkey's biggest city istanbul go to the polls in a controversial rerun of march's mayoral election it was cancelled after president recha type heir to one's a k party narrowly lost and claimed there were irregularities the party has governed istanbul for decades but there's a distinct possibility that this time and even with the revote it will lose its grip on the city. reports. this is how the final phase of election campaigning looks like in istanbul at the ferry terminal and it could be could district the major parties have set up their stalls and they're doing their best to drown each other out. of. this city has been paid. for almost 6 months now he narrowly won the mayor's office in march a criminal it was the 1st opposition victory here in istanbul in 25 years but been early years of the ruling a.k.p. wasn't going to give up the cit

they have seen it do it with kim jung-un in the north korean context.hey know the president has a big meeting with pomp and circumstance and there is no end result. the iranians want a real deal. they don't want these sanctions. they are crippling them. we just made them worse which is why they lashed out at us. they want a relief from the sanctions, but they know that will only come from a real deal that not only the united states signs up to, but all 6 our of o allies because the nuclear deal was not just between the united states and iran. >> it was interesting i asked what does this deal look like, and it just feels like the extended version of the deal that is already there. but then he said i want to put ballistic missiles in there. is that poison pill? >> not necessarily. but the fact is that john kerry, barack obama decided they wanted that nuclear deal so badly that they would extend the term where iran was months away from getting a weapon. they thought that it was worth it. the world thought it was worth it. it was multilateral to get a one y

so though you can pause but we still look and assessed to understand the capability that kim jung-un exists on - - possesses and then we watch that closely and look for indications of the new systems i could get into all the details but it has not changed our focus because it gets back to making sure whenever senior leaders go into these negotiations to have as much information of those capabilities, in a public forum and what we may understand is not disclosed. >> time for one or two quick ones. >> board member of the arms control association. can you tell us about the arming of the 729 ground launch cruise missile to have a conventional mission that are deployed in the eighties and destroyed under the inf treaty. >> so either with the nuclear capability the challenges is no discernible markings on that missile to let you know, if we see it if that is conventional or nuclear but it is. >> i am a journalist so following up on the north korea issue you said they are briefing on the capabilities of what are the capabilities and what are they doing? and to what extent do they receive fr

and something that is very dangerous i think the trump administration did a very good job to get kim jung-un to the table but you had to do two things at once which are opposite and a lot of us were concerned there was going to be a conflict on the korean peninsula paragraph the same time they didn't care about the north korean regime. and it's very difficult to do those two things at once and in different enough to with that nuclear weapon but to declare victory there is no maximum pressure. because i don't think the president can create that combination of incredible threats in the future like he did. the trump administration is doing this right. >> so with the south china sea and teeeight to talk about this consensus forming it is a multi prong strategy in china with the congressional backing so with the democratic president. so where is south korea cracks to be honest with all of these issues and to take action that it is not actively involved in with the south china sea. can they continually hedge? and with that uncertainty. >> about know about japan or taiwan but it is a concept of int

kim jung-un takes him out because he was a distraction. this is great material.e it or not you have to have a character on a show like snl. >> mister caputo maybe they ran out of material because the president is doing so well. maybe they ran out of material. the president is crushing it. have you ever seen the queen smile before ever? ever? neil: that is the thing. you have such lovely hair donald. neil: she puts her purse on the table. [laughter] she did not do that. the president crushed it. >> and milania looked great on my progressive friends come onto the radio show please just accept it when something great happens. neil: he did a great speech and then she wears sunglasses. see you are over and under? they should bring darrell back. . >> i think the president would appreciate that. neil: what about dana carvey doing bush? >>. >> that's a great idea. >> that is so true. just to be positive can we put aside the divide we are the greatest country on planet earth. my father fought in the second world war and we appreciate that the two hours flew by we will tal

avail telling reporters today he hoped a letter president trump sent to kim jung-un will provide a good talks. kim reportedly called the letter excellent and that he would quote, seriously contemplate the content. the letters content is not yet been revealed. a nerve-racking hour is the flying wall and does dazzled times wherefrom 25 stories up. brother and sister nick and liana of the famed family waking or walking from opposite ends of the high wire. this happened two years after she was seriously hurt in a fall in florida. thankfully, they both made it across safely. i'm aisha and i'm back to life, liberty and livid. mark: professor mcconnell, progressive movement is not all that concerned about the constitution. when you read woodrow wilson or john dewey or all these other fellows at the end of the 1800s, early 1900s and they viewed the courts, in particular, as a change agent and they would be dismissive of the declaration and the constitution and they wrote about it this constitution comes from wilson talks about, as you know, you can have separations exists in the federalism stuf

. >> and more recent news you revealed you got another letter from kim jung-un and today we hear theotential sign of relations between south korea and north korea. now, could you give us an update on more of what was in that letter? is there a third summit in the works? president trump: he wrote me a very nice letter. unexpected. someday you'll see what was in that letter. someday you will be reading about it, maybe in 100 years from now or in two weeks. who knows? very nice letter. very warm, nice letter. i appreciated it. >> thank you if i may, you said you were thankful for the commitment of the president made for more troops today and hinted that you would like to see more. what is the ultimate number you like to see in poland, u.s. troops? president trump: [speaking in polish] translator: madame, this of course is always going to be the decision of the united states of america. [speaking in polish] translator: it's always going to be up to the united states to decide how many troops there will be sent to poland. i know that this depends on the need and on the real situation on t

been in the planning stages for a while but we've heard some key officials didn't know about the kim jung on invitation until they saw the president's tweet. >> reporter: that's right. and that's not a new experience for people who work for president trump, he does this from time to time and this is another example of that. we should point out the president was teasing this idea of meeting with kim jong-un at the dmz earlier in the week when he talked with "the hill" newspaper and mentioned this. and then the white house asked "the hill" not to publish it for security reasons. then the president i think dropped, you know, this on everybody at the g20 summit. essentially to tease his upcoming trip to south korea where he's at right now. he's going to meet with the south korean president, president moon later today, and then will head out to the dmz, meet with u.s. soldiers, meet with south korean soldiers. the question is whether or not the president meets with kim jong-un. the ball is essentially in the court of the north koreans as to whether or not they're going to accept this invitatio

reporter: kim eui jung applied for asylum in 2010.cades after being involved in anti-government protests in south korea, he had reason to fear repercussions. after overstaying his visa, he spent more than 2.5 years in the center. now he is out on probation. kim: not much gets out about the conditions in there. after six months, most people's faces turn expressionless. reporter: the inmates have been on hunger strike several times in recent years. they criticize the crowded accommodations, insufficient medical care, and the uncertainty about their status. some are confined for more than five years, although detention is only meant to be temporary. one former detainee is this refugee from sri lanka. he doesn't want to give his name for fear of being recognized in his homeland. in sri lanka, he got caught between the fronts of the civil war. he fought for over 12 years to gain refugee status. >> i came here when i was 45. now i am 58, 60 now. so, all that time is finished. i can't go back. it's like a punishment. now i don't have my chil

this is something we have seen a number of times with north korea and specifically kim jung you know, this flattery of the u.s. president, talking about extraordinary courage. and remember, just a couple of weeks ago the -- the u.s. president donald trump said that he had received a letter as well from the north korean leader. he had said it was a beautiful letter. he said he would not talk about the contents. but he would at some point tell us what was in the letter. so it does come at an interesting time. it's a week away or less than a week away that the u.s. president heads to the region. he will be in the japan for the g-20 meeting. also expected to stop in seoul around the meeting. so it seems like we are back to the sending of the beautiful letters. so the communication between these two leaders is definitely back on, ana. >> paula hancocks we'll see where it goes. >>> a big improvement to big poppy. david ortiz's wife releasing a statement saying the husband has been moved out of the intensive care unit at massachusetts general hospital. she says he is still in good condition.

as these dramas play out, no one is watching it more than kim jung in north cia and played trump better than the iranians have and rejecting the denuclearization. that is from an iranian newspaper. my understanding that the president, that's a more nuanced analysis than he's willing to receive in the pbd, reduced to pictures and the kinds of conversations that don't agitate him. how much disadvantage do we have because of the president's inability to sit together but not in an intellectual day but tectonic planes, every action causes friction in another part of the world. how much of a disadvantage are we at strategically because our president isn't a consumer of information, not a consumer of history and doesn't really understand what david singer points out, that he's being played? >> these are actually real issues. trump did inherit them, the iranian situation, north korea, dealing with the russians, venezuela, real issues that require thoughtful coordinated policy options where somebody makes a choice and orchestrates the tools of american government. that's gone. it's not there. i'

and the man who knew too much, was the half brother of kim jung un murdered in malaysia, because he wasormant? hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. the two top guns in american presidential politics will face off today in iowa. it is the state that kicks off the us presidential election season with the iowa caucuses. it's also a swing state. in 2012, barack obama won iowa with 52% of the vote. in 2016, trump won the state with 51%. so a purple state, worth the fight. and today's dueling speeches perhaps give us a preview of what the race may look like. donald trump has no challenger. on the democrat side joe biden is one of 24. but for now he is the frontrunner. and ahead of his campaign speech later today, he has been speaking to community workers in the town of council bluffs. president trump is in iowa today and i... because... and i hope his presence he will be clarifying because iowa farmers have been crushed by his tariff over china, and no one knows better than the folks in iowa. he thinks being tough is great. it's easy to be tough w
