some initial steps the north wanted what -- the north wants. they are driving a new relationship ended formal peace treaty with the united states and other parties to the original korean conflict. host: this is richard in massachusetts. wondering,as president trump -- what do we want from north korea? trump just seems bute happy kim likes him not have any policy. i was wondering, let's get policy. guest: president trump has expressed satisfaction with his beautiful relationship with kim jong-un. that is hyperbole. they have met. the personal relationship is important but what we need is tangible outcomes. what the united states is looking for is what we have been looking for for years, which is to eliminate its nuclear weapons program and ballistic missiles that can deliver nuclear weapons against our allies, even as far as the united states. in 2017, the north koreans conducted a successful ballistic missile that showed they have the capability to deliver warheads to the american homeland. ant we are looking for is approach to complete denucle

the north koreans think of it as making sure there is no nuclear threat to north korea and that they don't have nuclear weapons. they are interested in making sure the united states is not preparing or does not have strike assets, whether nuclear or nonnuclear that could hit north korea. >> -- they are going to know it when they see it. they will have to work through it at these negotiations move on. have seen tests of various missiles out of north korea. do we currently have the capability something reaching the united states? that has been a matter of considerable debate. independent experts that we work with we believe north koreans have ballistic missiles. 15 or 14 specifically that can reach targets in the u.s.. how accurate they are is not clear. how reliable -- this is the device that delivers the nuclear bomb to the target. they have a missile that can deliver a payload the size of a nuclear bomb across the pacific ocean to the u.s.. they probably only have no more than a dozen of these types of missiles. they are probably manufacturing more of them. this is one of the reason

and north korea continued in new york the participants included robert carlin an expert on north korea's nuclear program who had visited the country often. remember two thousand and ten. seeker professor john morris and me they took us to young gun they walked us into this facility which we were not really expect we thought maybe we would see a few centrifuges and i don't know how many have ten one hundred whatever just small and we would say oh yeah it's really impressive. instead they took it took us into this building. took us up to the viewing when you're in there are two thousand centrifuges. they let us you know our jaws dropped and we were sort of speechless as we tried to come through centrifuges and then they were stars out of there because they didn't want us to see that we think too much point words somebody wanted us in order to have done that and that this and that the situation had become more complicated and we're going. to kim jong il died in december two thousand and eleven. he was succeeded by his son kim jong un many western experts doubted whether the inexperienced yo

is north korea. it's a country so impoverished, so backward that it's sometimes seems to be from another century. the economy of south korea is 36 times larger than that of the north yet somehow the north korean leader now commands the center of the world's stage. this is the story of kim jong-un, his past, his present and how has managed to bring an american president to his doorstep. ♪ december 28th, 2011. kim jong-un had just inherited the cruelest, most repressive dictatorship on earth. his father kim jong-il was dead from a heart attack. in icy pyongyang, tens of thousands lined the streets. for many mourners, it was a chance to catch a glimpse of their new leader. >> people believed he's too young. he's too inexperienced. >> there were real fears that kim jong-un still in his 20s was not up to the job. >> he looked like a boy. there he is sobbing over his father's casket. >> some doubted that he could ever command the kind of cult-like worship his grandfather and his father inspired. a reaction

., south korea and the north. maybe easing some sanctions and return for whenever north korea follows through. reasonable? se daryl: they are. we can remember north korea has a substantial nuclear arsenal, 10 to 20 nuclear bombs, material for 30 to 60. they have dozens of nuclear facilities. even if the sides agreed to a years longll be a process. we have to look at action for action process, each side confident they will follow through. roadwe can get along the that that is possible. the summit is perhaps trump's less best -- last best opportunity. host: questions, you can ask our guest, 202-748-8000 for democrats. for republicans. how do we know that they are actually doing what they say they will do? don't have to trust the north koreans to do what they are going to do. we need to have inspectors on the ground at the sites where they will dismantle facilities. when we get to this point, if we do, talking about this dismantling of nuclear bombs, we need to have u.s. specialists and north korean specialists worki

as you went through each generation of kim each iteration of us north korea relations i think the north koreans became increasingly little bits of the nuclear weapons where there are insurance policy or their salvation and certainly they became convinced of that when they saw what happened to be iraq when they saw what happened to libya the one thing that those two dictators those countries did wrong was not having. and that the only thing that the united states respects is a country with nuclear weapons the united states has never attacked a country. the demilitarized zone divides the korean peninsula into north and south at the thirty eighth parallel. the armies of both sides face each other along the border. this standoff has continued since the end of the korean conflict in one nine hundred fifty three back in october two thousand and six north korea successfully carried out its first test of a nuclear device a move that threatened to upset the precarious balance of power in the region. a triumphant north korea says its latest a ballistic missile test demonstrates that it now has th

the it's in north korea in the states and then the claim that they won the war against us in north korea was so claim that they want this korean war against which is that it's so clear that same time vietnam saddest was to maintain this on some sort of a social is the system so this is maybe chinese model part of china is available now in north korea is very interested in vietnam's model for their economy growth i just want to go back to your point of other change right actually it is a very big talking point in chinese social media. first of all the chinese people are there really proud that i came is taking this train ride across the whole china not the whole china like i read it all the way in china and china is responsible for providing security and i cleaning airing all the train tracks on roads fall for him to pass through. but then they also think that if they stop and for them because when they pass through the whole china pass through china like people cannot go to work on time they cannot take the train on time and i saw some videos and pictures of people taking this train and

we may know some things that the north koreans don't know we know, but the north koreans know a lot about what we know, and so i'm a little surprised that he said they were surprised had he they m they may have acted surprised, but i think they have a good idea of what we know about their program. >> lisa, you guys at the csis posted extentively on their missile capabilities, on their defense and security capabilities how much do you believe that north korea knows that we understand about them? do you believe he was actually surprised? >> as joel mentioned, the north koreans do know a lot, and i do think that they know what the u.s. knows, but i think that there are a lot of things that we were trying to get more information on from the north koreans and those include some of the things that csis has reported about in the past i think it also could have included some of the uranium enrichment facilities that were on the table for discussion. as president trump mentioned in his press conference, that was something that the north koreans just weren't willing to discuss at this time >> well,

president sounded like the north koreans. i had a friend come up to me in church and ask asked me if we could have a nuclear war. first time i have been asked that question. thankfully, that all kind of went away. if you look at the last year, in terms of none of that type of rhetoric, the threats, none of the fear mongering. it's been a very much change in atmosphere. indeed, the president has informed us that he fell in little love with kim jong-un. i don't know if he's mentioned that to melania, exactly how the threesome works out. nevertheless, this is been a very good time for us. we've had rising threats, fear of war, et cetera and all the sudden, we are having talking and discussion. there's been real concern we haven't seen much denuclearization over the last year and will be interested see if we can get a reboot of the upcoming summit in hanoi. there is certainly an opportunity there. it's a positive development despite some of the frustrations people have. to my mind, looking ahead, the critical issue is expectation

and where does it appear threat from north korea this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm hard on that hamid sometimes you have to walk this was how u.s. president donald trump described the sudden end to his summit with north korea's leader kim jong un the pair rived in vietnam with hopes of building on last year's historic summit in singapore but less than two days later they signed no agreement and there's some clear when they'll talk again north korea's neighbors south korea and china both said they were disappointed with the outcome we'll bring in our panel in just a moment but first when hey reports from hanoi. before the summit u.s. president donald trump tried to lower expectations of a deal with north korean leader kim jong il but the expectation was at the very least that the pair would sign some form of agreement on denuclearization or make a joint statement instead the talks were cut short before lunch the table will sit by the diners didn't show leaving donald trump to explain why racially they wanted the sanctions lifted i

in north korea the way it's often portrayed in the way we often understand north korea is that kim jong un is the man in complete control just doesn't suffer does he have political pressures does he have people that he has to please absolutely for example the middle class this is a very now it's very supportive and so very important for his alleged tennessee is a successful leader when he came into office he promised to develop the country to please the middle class amongst others and then he's not napoleon on the euro so he has a click around him which together wish with which he decides to say that i mean this is about who are strapped is it is own culture would have to account in this that what sort of pressure do turn voters can the middle class put on him well it's basically saying voters clearly that not vote for the exact. voters cannot put pressure on him but it's first of all the leadership they are hardliners too like in the states or in other countries that are pushing for why why are you talking to do our arc anomia anyway in the first place to the united states we can just

and the relations between north and south and between the north and the west are very closely connected here the south progress denuclearization process telling fellow north and south korea the very limited options. to its restricted to things like sports culture religion has areas that are not restricted by the sanctions. had to be that. but south korea would like to move faster and strengthen economic cooperation with the north. listening. as a catalyst to denuclearization of. north korea did better economically and the people had a better quality of life that. clear ization promise and. despite the sanctions there has been some progress and into korean relations two sides have explored railway corridors that could link north and south and to ease tensions along the heavily fortified border they have blown up guard posts on both sides. of the three direct meetings between north korea's leader kim jong un and south korean president move day in where the main driving force behind these developments one symbolic visit however is still missing kim jong said he wants to come here to south

the creation of us north korea liaison offices and north korea to stop producing nuclear materials atne of its primary facilities that we heard about during the singapore summit. it would include 300 different buildings and several acres. what do you think of that? if any of that ends up being true? >> that would be an okay deal but it would fall pretty far short of denuclearization let alone fire viable -- verifiable denuclearization. it is a step towards better relations but pretty far short of what some people expect. it would be a poor man's agreed framework which is what the united states got with the north koreans back in 1994. heather: olivia, your thoughts on the points and attendant deal? >> the most concerning aspects of this prospect of deal our first, the idea that a piece declaration is needed right now. i think a piece declaration threatens the ability of the us to maintain its alliance with south korea. even though it could be a very symbolic measure, this could lead to withdrawal of us troops on the peninsula and even more concerning, all these promises, north korea ha

because north korean people. views that are heavily contested in the past his activism could easily have landed her in conflict with south korea's national security allows now the political climate is more open so that even though few in south korea share her enthusiasm for north korea's leader many now do see a window of opportunity to finally come to terms with their neighbor to the north. is that much substance of the symbolism of this sports diplomacy has it actually achieved anything oh yes we could see that with the winter olympics here that it has achieved a lot and brought together those two leaders of those two countries that have not only be apart but very hostile for about seven decades now but they sat together and talked for the first time so sports diplomacy is key here and just the united states necessary look favorably close ties between north and south korea yes to a certain extent of course they should not be too close but we saw also even before the saw coming emerging that the south korean pre

make north korea north korea great economic power. >> the dinner tonight will be starting at about six15 a.m. eastern time back in the united states, 6:15:00 p.m. here in vietnam here the way this wil work, it's going to be 20 minutes for president trump and kim jong un to meet one-on-one, then they will expand it to a larger setting, allowed to invite two gas, president trump has told secretary of state mike pompeo and acting chief of staff mick mulvaney. that dinner is expected to last about 90 minutes, so ed, they are going to get a chance to break the ice ahead of the more formal meetings which are slated for tomorrow, but ed, keep in mind, all of this is happening at the same time that we are starting to the excerpts released from michael cohen's testimony taking place tomorrow and capitol hill. that, of course, has to be an unwanted distraction for president trump heading into these very important talks with the north koreans. >> ed: absolutely. excellent point, kristin fisher, you will be here with us for coverage all week long. we appreciate that report. we will have a full rep

but on north korea, north korea is very dependent on china for its economy. so what does trump do? he annoys china. so what does xi do? xi says, well, okay, north korea, you do your thing. there's more petrol going into north korea, not less. the price has gone down for gasoline in pyongyang. if china is not in a fistfight with the united states, trump will get a little more help from xi on north korea, separate from -- >> but china is behaving toward north korea based on china's strategic national interests. >> absolutely, they are. >> china has no incentive to help the united states just because they like us. >> you're right, there's no incentive there. but the result will be -- >> i don't think so. i think the reason why china, when they put pressure on north korea, it's because they think it's in their interests. china is going to help or not help the united states based on its own assessment. that's why the united states really needs to be very clear-headed about china, about north korea, what are the goals and what are the benefits to the united states. if it's about getting

i think on the north korean side, the north koreans will be looking for sanctions relief.develop their economy. they will be looking perhaps to end their hostile relationship with the united states in the form of a peace resolution, a peace agreement, eventually. and i think that they will be looking to further their relationship, a better relationship with the united states, in the long—term. relationship with the united states, in the long-term. that is what they will be looking for but what do you think the realistic chances are of progress? it really depends, i think, ultimately on the two leaders. as we know, president trump can bea leaders. as we know, president trump can be a bit unpredictable. the north korean leader is also someone who takes risks. i think it really comes down to what the two leaders will say face—to—face when there are not any advisers, officials, with them. i think that will be an important thing to watch for. president trump will also wants to have a domestic victory that he can claim in the united states at a very good —— difficult time for hi

korea north korea was then part of the axis of evil and john bolton was a key official worked on north korea and the top. the six party talks he was also the u.s. ambassador to the united nations pursuing a tough line against north korea and pursuing sanctions what you need to know about john bolton i think is the title of his autobiography when it comes to north korea the book is called surrender is not an option. and yes of course john bolton is well known as neither he subscribes to the to the theory of regime change which of course would not please the north koreans but what about this issue of the sudden suspension of the joint military exercises with south korea because that came as a bit of a surprise in that a bolt from the blue is completely unscripted so i would imagine that many of those onlookers and now a tiny bit apprehensive as to what the president might come up with might agree to perhaps even inadvertently or unwittingly a giving giving advantage to kim without patsy even realizing the significance. yeah i mean the interesting player in this was of course mattis the d

it's just starting in the north bay, could stall in the north bay.ds right now are light and we will continue to see a milder day today, even though with the cloud cover, obviously we're not going to be as warm, but still starting out warmer. the day will end up just a few degrees warmer. here's live doppler 7. you can see all the cloud cover. we're looking at a flash flood watch for marin and sonoma through thursday morning. the heavy rain monday night into tuesday night, and the russian river and the napa river -- russian river at guerneville we're watching in particular. it's supposed to flood. and we are looking at the heavier rain pushing south out of the north bay overspreading the entire bay area tuesday into wednesday. so, look at these storm totals. it is a two on our storm impact scale. actually, it begins monday. the two will take us into wednesday, and we're looking at 5 to 9 inches in the hills and mountains of the north bay, 3 to 5 inches in the valleys of the north bay. the rest of the bay area 1 to 2. so, the rest of the day today fea

-north korea does the u.s.-south korea alliance and what we should do about youth troops on the peninsula. it's interesting because so far in the negotiations the north hasn't seemed to make a a big l out of the troop presence. i wonder if we get to a point where the north koreans are not actually pushing to withdraw troops and they are on a path to eventually pyongyang what keeping them there in the north is amended there and the south wants -- denuclearization. the south wants them to say, what is the situation is the presence is no longer seen as it is kind of security threat to the north? [inaudible] -- and american interest, and in that situation it's not clear to me why we would want them there. the argument that you typical here is a dual purpose. that is, they help china. i think that is offense. i imagine the white house calling the blue house saying we want to use your base facilities in south korea so we can bomb the chinese mainland because they are attacking taiwan and i think that would be mass ca

decided that we had to walk and we'll see what happens trump says he refused to ease sanctions on north korea in exchange for the country's partial denuclearization also meeting than a waste of time also coming up trumps response to his former lawyers blistering testimony michael cohen accused our prop of committing crimes before and during his presidency trump says cool and is lying. to us pakistan extends an offer to ease the crisis trying once again wrong contacts following that pakistan would lose the pilot of an indian war plane shot down over the disputed border territory really hear more from pakistan's ambassador to germany. kind of a warm welcome to you i'm. u.s. president dollar trump and north korean leader kim jong un have ended their highly anticipated summit in vietnam with no agreement the talks were aimed at agreeing on concrete measures for peace on the korean peninsula and build on positive sentiments expressed at their first historic summit the donald trump says the talks broke down after he refused to lift all sanctions against pyongyang. that was no lunch and no sig

vietnam is seen as a model north korea could use to reform.ist state, the party retains absolute control, yet it opened up its economy to become one of the fastest growing in asia. duong thi thanh took the chance to establish her own textile business using traditional vietnamese methods. she employs dozens of staff and, after 2a years, her firm is now global. here's the market! most north korean households have been making money on the black market for years. here in seoul, in south korea, one defector told me it's tolerated but still illegal — it's the only way some families earn money for food, and she's not sure kim jong—un is serious about economic reform. these hanoi schoolchildren are singing about their hopes for the summit. they come from a country which has made peace with the us and gained prosperity. could north korea's next generation learn a similar lesson? laura bicker, bbc news, hanoi. our south—east asia correpondent jonathan head is out and about in hanoi. jonathan, we know it's a busy day view on a busy day for both leaders a

the north koreans haven't even done that. i could believe that kim jong-un would like to create a situation where foreigners can come in and do some investing. such as the south koreans have done. that said, since those times when british ships were in southern china, there has been a lot of changes. given that north korea is engaged with weapons of mass destruction, are we going to say, you can have access to the world bank. you can be a member of the inf. i don't think that's going to be so easy. if i were kim jong-un, i would be skeptical when president trump says, this is great for condominiums. i'm not sure he really gets it. i know he does want to develop the country. i think he wants to do it on his own terms. the history of communist reform programs, i used to serve during the cold war in places like poland. the landscape is littered with failures of reform programs. the concern would be, if i start this, it won't stop. i will eventually be thrown out of power. >> thank you very much. joining us from denver. steve eng

webjournal manager and producer of 38 north, a web journal that provides analysis on north korea.e that we get something concrete out of the summitand we get something concrete out of the summit and there is something we can point to to start to actually develop benchmarks, to reallyjudge how progress is moving forward. i'm afraid if we don't get something substantive, that this process and the validity of the approach that trump is taking is going to deteriorate. while kit be effective and we've seen that in the inter—korean case, you know, it may not be that the political will is really there for the us in north korea — and north korea, if we can't decide where to start the process. it's clear that north korea wants an lthlth to sanctions ideally and an official declaration of the end of the korean war. there were reports that in the summit back injune last year, mrtrump that in the summit back injune last year, mr trump promised the second of those. it was certainly said that this is something promised to kim jong—un. the north korean s waited for that to come. they were not of

north korea relations and a peaceful regime on the korean peninsula. it's not just south korea's leaders who will be paying close attention to events and hanoi here's what people in seoul had to say about the upcoming summit. if the regime completely dismantled its nuclear weapons program i would hope for unification but if there is a hidden agenda and we go ahead without exposing it then i'm against it the would only go on after the korean war happens again or third north and south will turn into a sea of fire and we will all die. i had a bad image of north korea when i was young but recently that has changed. joining me now is professor stephan haggard a korea expert at the university of california at san diego seven tell us what role south korea has in any of this. actually a quite big role president moon has been keyed in getting us to where we are with the so called the limp big gamble getting the north koreans to come to the winter olympics and that's set in train the summit's now after this the south koreans also want to play a role in trying to

or north korea and the u.s. in boston you know what we've been saying this a lot today i've been can't escape it ended the it's the events in washington from yesterday the testimony by trump's former attorney michael cohen and the allegations that he made that the president basically had committed a crime while in the oval office the meet those allegations there they've really taken the tension away from these talks in noir do you get the sense there that the talks have been overshadowed by washington. well those events definitely reverberated here we saw that yesterday when these a white house reporters white house press corps reporters were barred from the dinner event at the metropolitan because before they had asked some questions about cohen and then we're going to have to wait and see how that plays out in that press conference that all trump has scheduled for this afternoon because for sure he'll have to or he'll be confronted and you'll have to answer you'll be confronted with questions about the cohen a

and north korea the intra korean talks between north korea and south korea and south korea's been way ahead of the u.s. talking about building joint railways joint railroads and ending the korean war and all these things how does this affect that separate korean process i think it creates a roadblock for the korean process a question was asked to president from by n.k. news about this very issue he didn't answer it he obviously doesn't have an answer to the problem of what does president moon do next or he gave us some platitudes about moon being a great guy who's working very hard so we'll have to wait and see how the south koreans are going to try and spin this christopher green from the international crisis group thank you very much indeed for joining me just before i leave you standing here seven months ago as with you michael called for rick who is from the international crisis group another expert on north korea worth telling our viewers he is still a former canadian diplomat still in a chinese jail he was working as an analyst on these issues and he is being held by the chinese

and its allies south korea japan and the rest be willing to reward the north korean government the north korean regime along the path of denuclearization or will the u.s. stick to its initial goal by saying that we will only reward them in terms of sanctions relief when denuclearization is complete and then the big question becomes how do you verify that they want to get independence inspectors independent monitors into north korea to verify that what the north koreans are saying they have done they have actually done you remember last year also we saw the destruction of the nuclear test site they invited some media organizations from outside north korea in there to witness these very spectacular explosions in the mountains in north korea but we haven't been able to verify whether or not that nuclear test facility has in fact been disabled so going forward i think that's going to be a very important subject between donald trump and kim jong un verifying what exactly they have done and are willing to do in the future wayne hey live in the vietnamese capital hanoi thank you. still to come

envoy to north korea steven begin in the north korean counterpart lots of talking has led up to this but what we are told is that from the north korean standpoint really thing no one bit this is a president that makes deals on the fly that none of this sort of preamble discussion really matters what matters the president's shown this on everything from. the nafta agreement renegotiating that between canada the united states and mexico to china that he can make these deals at a moment's notice so they know that what matters is what happens in that face to face meeting that's why they were so much attention not only in this dinner but the meetings that will take place over the next twenty four hours because so much of it can be done in advance but this is a president that operates spur of the moment and anything is possible and i should point out that's what concerns many of the president's critics particularly in the u.s. congress that fear the president doesn't understand the nuances in the subtleties of this type of diplomacy and may give away too much and may potentially have alrea

that is not necessarily the top north korean issue, but north korea does want to focus on its economy, a to do, that judy, it needs to lower the tension with the u.s. and, obviously, one way to do that would be to try and end the war. >> woodruff: and quickly, that raises the last question i had, and that is to what extent are the north koreans interested in somesort of economic improvement as a result of all this? >> schifrin: the steps that vietnam has taken are kind of the model that the u.s. is trying to convince north korea to take-- liberalization of markets, more privatization. the experts say that north korea could do that, but ao does not consider vietnam a good model because they consider themselveo actuallye modern and more industrialized than vietnam. and so the's a lot of questions about whether the u.s. can convince north korea to consider vietnam.t, udy, one quick thing-- right behind me is where john cain went down before he became a prisoner in hanoi. the u.s. coming toietnam trying to send the signal to north korea that the u.s. has no permanent enemies. >> woodruff:
