so they approached john mackey's heir, clarence mackey, about funding the statue. clarence mackey agreed and reached out to the artist, who would later go on to design and implement mount rushmore, to build the statue. by the time it was completed, 1907-1908, there was a lot of politics. people remembered john mackey and thought it might be inappropriate that one man, one individual was honored on the capitol grounds. so there was a bit of a debate, president ofs, the the university at the time, said, we will take it. that is how the statue of john mackey arrived at the university. clarence mackey saw this kind of plucky western university and wanted to "beautify the campus." he donated money for the quad and our elm trees that are now over 100 years old. in 1908, he donated $100,000 to build the mackey school of mines. the keck museum, originally the mackey school museum, was founded in 1908 as one of the original fixtures of the mackey mining buildings. these are the original cases from 1908. the museum is still displaying and storing items as it would have in 19

i want to bring in janis mackey frayer, also in seoul. janis, how significant is this?mething concrete in km out in this two-to-three-week timeline? >> reporter: well, this is the golden question. as hans mentioned, there's not a lot of detail coming out of this closed-door meeting between president trump and kim jong-un, but there is the sense that negotiations will resume. talks had broken down completely. the lines of communication have been sidelined since the failure of the hanoi summit. and there's really been very little progress made since the singapore summit last year. working-level negotiations have stalled. there was even the fury of north korea coming through state media a couple months ago, saying that if the u.s. had any expectation for the regime to return to the table, then secretary of state mike pompeo had to be ejected from the negotiation process. >> that's right. >> reporter: so, there is this sense that these teams are coming together again, but the sense that we've been here before, that this essentially pushes reset, returns us to where we were

now he had to choose and as if to remove any doubt to him it's all a show, "the times" mackey haberman tweeted this -- a source told me 30 minutes ago that trump was pleased with his own performance last night, loved being in command by ordering the strikes and ordering the standdown and the president just tweeted it. here to talk about it all, some of our favorite reporters and friend. with us former republican congressman from florida, now an independent, david jolly. an executive editor from bloomberg opinion, tim o'brien. plus p. journalist who covers foreign affairs lisa lavin is joining us. foreign policy analyst tom nichols, professor at the naval war college. and with us from "the new york times" white house correspondent michael crowley. michael, we have not seen you since you joined "the new york times." congrats on your new posting. and take us through what you and your colleagues were reporting all through the night and this morning. >> well, we're still trying to get to the bottom of exactly why the president called off these air strikes that he authorized. and there have

as nbc's janice mackey frayer reports, many of those opposed to the extradition bill that's become a lightning rod for concerns over greater chinese control. >> reporter: police have been firing tear gas and trying to push back protesters to clear the area around the legislative building where that controversial extradition law was to be debated today, but lawmakers announced a delay. they still say they're going to push it through by july. they say, obviously, people misunderstand. it's designed to guarantee that hong kong doesn't become a safe ey dn for -- nothing. they don't care about our voices. it's really sad. >> reporter: they believe that this is just the latesto hong k economy. they say that this law is going to target dissidents and effectively pull people into china's judicial system. they've vowed they will return to the streets, but for now, police are doing what they can to get them back. >>> new at 11:00 for you, back in the golden state, california gas tax is set to increase by nearly 6 cents. that makes the total tax close to 47 cents per gallon. they are used for a

joining us from headquarters is janice mackey. jong un. how much do you think that influenced the president's eagerness, president trump's eagerness to have a meeting or a handshake with the leader of north korea? >> you start to put all of these pieces together and it forms a very interesting picture. the question of course is could this actually happen? president trump is saying that he just thought of it. that he was putting the feelers out. but it does put, give it an interesting context, given the recent visit to pyongyang by china's president, xi jinping. what appeared to be a bit of a truce, between china and the united states. on issues of trade and also huawei. there was the quote most excellent letter that kim jong un had received from president trump last week. it was splashed all over the pages of newspapers in north korea. so perhaps this has been in the works a bit longer than the tweet last night. the question is will it happen? the north koreans have replied saying they haven't received an official proposal yet. bu

joining us now on the phone is nbc news correspondent, janice mackey frayer and you have been at the front lines during the protests. what more can you tell us about what you're seeing. >> reporter: the numbers on trying to estimate how big the crowd was are arbitrary. the police numbers were focussed on victoria park where the protest had its starting point. what was unique about this rally was that people kept joining along the way. they were spilling out of metro stations and coming off of pedestrian overpasses, so there really was this swell of people that just seemed to get bigger and bigger as the protests moved on, and it went well into the night, despite that rare apology from carrie lam, for what she called deficiencies in the government, it fell short of her resignation, which is what protesters have been calling for because of the way this government has mishandled this controversial extradition bill. today is much quieter. obviously people going back to work, going to school, there are still several hundred protesters who are gathered around the legislative building, and

nbc's jackie mackey frayer is in seoul with more on all of this.hat meeting ultimately between the two? >> reporter: it isn't exactly clear what the two men talked about, but it was expected to last a couple of minutes, president trump had initially said, but then went on for nearly an hour. so there were some obvious issues of substance that were being addressed. kim jong-un also likely airing his grievances and disappointment with how the hanoi summit ended when he went home empty handed and somewhat embarrassed that the u.s. had not agreed to some sort of sanctions relief. president trump, however, feels that it's game on again, that negotiations will soon get back on track with new teams of negotiators, probably within two to three weeks. here is more of what he had to say about today's meeting. >> we had a very productive meeting. i outlined the incredible prosperity that awaits north korea when this whole thing gets settled. i have been talking about this for a long time. but that's a country with tremendous potential. >> reporter: the golden

janice mackey freyr is in hong kong where things appear to be growing. >> frances, there's no estimate on numbers i've overheard people say they think there are more people here than for the march last sunday which drew as many as one million people. people say that it's important now to come to the streets to show exactly how badly they want to fight for freedom of expression and autonomy here in hong kong. it comes after the government here decided to suspend deliberations in voting on a very controversial extradition bill. that would effectively give hong kong authority the right to be able to extradite people to mainland china to face trial. this is, of course, a huge concern here. they say it violates hong kong's independent court system. they are now calling on the government here to not just suspend that bill but to withdraw it altogether and for hong kong's chief executive to step down. this is really highlighting exactly how concerned people are here with what's seen as an increasing tleet by china. this is the latest on a list of threats they've seen pro-democracy activists g

yellow mackey wasn't asked if he had taken cocaine, he was asked by the daily mail about a quotationpened when he was a 19—year—old. that happened when he was a 19-year-old. and he answer that to my mind pretty fully, a company in savannah, and! my mind pretty fully, a company in savannah, and i think the point here is that people don't care what 19—year—olds do. they care what someone 19—year—olds do. they care what someone in their mid—50s is going to do to deliver brexit and unite the country, that is what boris' campaign is about. people say that as foreign secretary, one of the great offices of state, he was actually not a very good foreign secretary. he got, for example, he got gary radcliffe who is still in prison in iran, into an awful lot of trouble. first of all, people in a leadership campaign always criticise their opponents, that's fair enough. but the issue that you mentioned is that iran is a criminal regime that knocks out people who are innocent. this is not borisjohnson' fault, this is the failure of the iranian government, and i'm afraid the iranian government has
