gasps from professor robert kelly, who joins minutes or so.g to take this in? it is and i hope we going to get something from it. if we give the north koreans legitimacy of all this, and play on loop on north korean media for a decade, we're getting somewhere. i have the technical groups are getting something on missiles and nukes and verification specialists, i hope it is worth it. we will pour over the body language between the two men. i wa nted body language between the two men. i wanted to bring you in again here, you're looking at how they are sitting down and how donald trump is clasping his hands, talk me through what you make of how they are reacting to one another for the first time? if you saw the first handshake, when he is seen in the library, donald trump has his position, he is clapping his hands, a bit of nervousness. but kim jong—un, the reaches out for a second handshake. kim jong—un jong—un, the reaches out for a second handshake. kimjong—un has a very fleeting eye contact. eye contact is of paramount importance. the handsha

we just heard from professor robert kelly, calling it a he asked. only know the outcome of these discussions in just a few hours from now, 4pm in singapore, when donald trump will have a press briefing with journalists. we will get some idea of his take from the us. what might come out of it in your opinion, if anything? the most likely options are north korea is not ready to commit to any form of denuclearisation. there is some press reporting is suggesting that. and then the two sides move in a different direction and say we will come back in two months and see where we are. the second which is equally likely is the two sides commit toa equally likely is the two sides commit to a framework, denuclearisation on the north korean side, and something about the us —— and it goes to lower levels to work out the details. those are the likely scenario is. —— us hostile policy. how badly do you think donald trump needs this? the us has been perceived as an international wrecker now, especially with allies, like donald trump leaving the g7 summit this weeke

once again, robert kelly. what do we know about today?le from various camps are having conversations. what is that about? putting down the ground work for tomorrow. they have been quiet about what will happen. there has been a rumour that donald trump would like a one—on—one with kim jong—un. rumour that donald trump would like a one—on—one with kimjong—un. they said we will see what happens. when i saw you tweet about that, you were like "gasps, one to one?" backer do real things. i am like "gasps, one to one?" backer do realthings. i am concerned. like "gasps, one to one?" backer do realthings. lam concerned. donald trump has said he does not want to prepare. i am concerned about what kim jong—un will tell him. that is why residents have matter when it is not traditional. we will talk about those advisors with trump. mike pompeo, for example. bolton, hawkish in his approach with foreign policy. what is your thinking about this team? you have to bring the whole show and entourage. this is what they are telling us. will it be about denucl

saying briefly that they were signing something and we do not know quite what that is and i have robert kellyeen with us throughout the coverage. what do we think trump meant? possibly some kind of denuclearisation statement. long on principle, short on detail. is that the signing of a peace treaty? that would be legally difficult because you would get china and the un involved in that. it could be a shadow peace treaty... but you still need china and south korea to take pa rt need china and south korea to take part so i not sure... we are still looking at live footage. they are motioning towards the motorcade. we are getting some close—ups that the capella hotel and movements of them. we have been speculating, will we really do not know what they're to be talking about. they will be meeting at... that will be an interaction with reporters at 4pm with president trump. at the moment we have just been watching this live coverage of this 5—star hotel where they have both been meeting and a very historic thing that we watched this morning. essentially we are sold to shake hands. it has been dubbe

issues she's written that this all looked more like a big welcome party to the nuclear armed club robert kelly is a korea analyst and based in south korea he also expressed disappointment he tweeted wow if this is it this is depressing this is even thinner than most skeptics anticipated singapore then rejoined correspondent bastin hearted welcome basta see if you could possible flesh on what the president and chairman have agreed to. yeah that's exactly that's you know the good. flesh on the on the bones of this agreement that's what everyone's looking for and that's why everyone's so disappointed because it's all all only vague terms and nothing that wasn't really that wasn't really there before it was is all you know north korea said that they'd be willing to you know they'd be working towards complete denuclearization but it's not clear what that what that really means the united states said they would give security guarantees now donald trump went into that a little a little more during his press conference but all those points that you just read out that are in this declaration they're al

robert kelly joins me from busan national university of out career.ot of the dialogue? i don't know. fascinating to see the photo opportunity you have been talking about for a number of days. now the nitty—gritty, those details, that conversation is under way? if it's going to be good for the americans then we have to get the americans then we have to get the north koreans on record admitting to something, some kind of concession in the future, process in the future, has to be different from the future, has to be different from the past. secretary of state pompeo said this was different to previous negotiations so when this wrapped up in the next few our north koreans have to give us something substantial and it has to be more than more process, that's what we've had in the past, endless tour, it has to be more substantial than that. but will it be? -- endless talk. probably not, the north koreans aren't going give up their nuclear weapons, not in the next 45 minutes oi’ weapons, not in the next 45 minutes or something like that! they've spent 50 year

with me is professor robert kelly from pusan national university of south korea.e significance of how a major shift this has formed in the regime. sure, the idea of that north korea has been centred on andi that north korea has been centred on and i am american is in, they blame united states for the war and the bombing, which was severe. we did tell what people. so now this is really going to be a breakthrough, they will have to turn the ship and thatis they will have to turn the ship and that is something remarkable. i am wondering how they are going to do that. we have spoken a lot over the last few days about what promises might be made here and who gives up what. we will talk about that in a moment but i wanted to ask you first, i covered the death of kim jong ill in december 2011 and there was a sense, the people i was interviewing at the time that something might change here and then nothing did for the six years that preceded and we have the status quo being maintained by his son when he became leader. fast forward to where we are today, this may never hav

with me is professor robert kelly from pusan national university of south korea.er in the world. we have to go through the motions to keep north koreans on board, but we need to give the smiling in the backslapping to a minimum. let's be professional. we saw selfies being taken with the foreign minister yesterday. i was on a when kim jong foreign minister yesterday. i was on a when kimjong il died in 2011 and i remember the conversation at the time, a belief they could be a shift in the north korean regime. —— i was on air. it did not. the status quo was maintained by kimjong—un. fast forward to today, this historic meeting between himself and donald trump, this is a significant shift for north korea in terms of how it is playing the game on the world stage, is it not? they have been saying to their people some kind of denuclearisation deal and rapprochement with the us is under way. if they are telling their people they are laying the groundwork for a radical shift, it seems like they are, that means they area seems like they are, that means they are a little bit

robert kelly is with me. a political a nalyst. robert kelly is with me. a political analyst.euters carrying the reaction from china about the easing of sanctions. yes, this means maximum pressure is going to be harderfor the campaign against north korea to bludgeon to come to the table. without chinese cooperation on that, that's the big missing link because china is 92% of trade for north korea. it would put a cord around north korea and maximum pressure. the president and mike pompeo talked about sanctions but if china does not work with that, it won't work and so i imagine the usa will call the chinese soon and say, please don't. this is a concern. donald trump spoken on the phone to president moon saying he's only been sent word about what has happened and he will be very happy and the sounds to be happy from the state and we just heard. he said it's a historic moment and applauding the fact they should be supported in their efforts as they move forward. i think his government would like to run north korea on its own and any donald trump to have a big sit down with them t

from robert kelly, this is it? this is depressing. that trump could have got missiles, but that did not happen. you get the sense francine, that, the u.s. achieved very little from the summit. we will be bringing you team coverage throughout the next two hours. robin, joining on the phone, there are questions from experts on whether the u.s. could have gotten more out of the north korean leader about how they would verify denuclearization but is this a step in the right direction? >>f you thk of where we were 6, 9 months ago -- this is a step in the right direction for the world. i think some of president trump's maximum pressure, the increase by the chinese of limiting oil and coal to north korea have had an impact economically. on the other hand, as we saw kim jong-un got to where he needed to before he moved into the diplomatic vein. moved done nuclear tests, into the gray zone of having nuclear capacity of hitting the united states. he will feel that he was ready for this conversation. trump needs a foreign-policy success and need

we can speak to professor robert kelly. , two hours, just the two men, with translators in the room. it is pretty exceptional. normally heads of state, whenever they meet with other heads of state, has some kind of transcription, staff, something there to make sure there isa something there to make sure there is a record. it is just two something there to make sure there is a record. it isjust two men in the room. this is the potential of some issues later. this is exceptional. they are both unique personalities. erratic and the rest of it. there is concern about what might come out after they have sat down because we don't know what they will say to each other. in the build—up, president trump has said that within 60 seconds he will know whether this is a man who he can do business with. what do you make of that language? it is so at odds with the way you normally see diplomacy working. this is part of president trump's persona. be erratic, the impulsive, that we were just talking about. my concern is that diplomacy with a

let's talk to robert kelly, professor of political science at the south korean pusan university, whojoinsre and fury and the rest of it, at least they are talking in a meeting. most analysts have thought for a long time that talking to north korea is the way to ultimately resolve this, they have nuclear weapons, there's not much we can do about that without talking to them u nless we about that without talking to them unless we strike them and the president has marketed himself as a wheeler dealer for a president has marketed himself as a wheeler dealerfor a long president has marketed himself as a wheeler dealer for a long time. perhaps he has wrangled a good deal out of kim jong—un. but we are still waiting. it would be amazing if the north koreans agreed to major denuclearisation without concessions from us, i'm sceptical but we will have to seek. donald trump said we are going to take care of a very big, dangerous problem for the world —— have to see. can it be that? yeah, i would guess that this is probably about one or two things, denuclearisation, a deal about bringing down north k

sanctions against pyongyang for one year saying it's still pose quotes an extraordinary threat robert kellyis an associate professor in the department of political science and diplomacy at the pusan national university he joins us now on skype rather good to talk to you again is this a flip on the part of donald trump. yeah it is and in fact the north koreans told us in the run up to the states earlier in the year that they would not insist on the cancellation exercises the president nonetheless gave it away and i think that's been one of the reasons why there's been criticism of him in the u.s. press at least is that he seemed to have he seems we don't know to have given it away for nothing it's not clear if the united states or south korea got anything in exchange for but one of the consequences of doing this surely is what some military analysts were saying in the immediate off the mall of the singapore summit that the people involved in these exercises if they don't take part in these exercises they lose the skill set that they get as a function of these exercises yeah that's right i me

bloomberg television executive editor jason kelly spoke with robert and carla javits.asking what exactly is venture philanthropy? venture philanthropy is a term that we've developed when we start doing this over 20 years ago. it is really taking some risk and investing in social enterprises. social enterprises are businesses that generate revenues and products and services and the people they employ our people who have had barriers to entry in their lives, whether it be addiction, incarceration, but they want to work. and so they work in these social enterprises, whether it be producing products or whether it be taking care of roads or taking care of apartments or pest-control, all the things that over 300 of these social enterprises in the united states do. instead of earning a profit, they take the money that they earn and they generate revenues as well. they reinvest in the people that they want to go help. is we havehave done taken pretty much the same approach that we have done it kkr -- at kkr. we take capital and invest in these social enterprises and help compa

so, kelly walsh and julie roberts, you are on the -- ok. so i did not call your names. so if you can put ten minutes on the clock. we're going to hear the next group on this. come up and state your name, please. >> hi, my name is ellen. i'm jewish. i'm speaking tonight on behalf jewish voice for peace. and i'm here representing hundreds of thousands of jews who are both critical of israel and critical of zionism. and so i think it's pretty clear that the jewish community relations council cannot claim to speak for all jews, including all civic minded jews in the bay area. let's be really clear on one thing. judaism and israel, judaism and zionism is not one and the same thing. i'm a proud jew. i believe in fighting anti-semitism and fighting islamophobia. and i am treated by people from the jewish community relations council the same way a roc is treated because i dare to criticize israel and zionism. to say a roc an organization. i feel strongly about this, because the jewish relations council is one of the main jewish organizations shutting out hundreds of thousands o

kelly o'donnell has more. did rudy guiliani shed any additional light on any potential interview between the president and robert mueller? >> he is still indicating,alex, it is unlikely but possible the president would voluntarily submit for interview. that's an important distinction. the trump legal team is concerned about the power of a subpoena. they believe that does not extend the president of the united states. a lot of legal analysts believe the special counsel would not test that particular reach of the investigation, and another area where they're trying to argue is the question of obstruction. if the president has the complete authority to hire and fire those that are part of the justice department, doing so by definition is not an obstruction. that's part of what they're trying to argue. notable today is that rudy guiliani who is a newer member of the legal team and was not part of the document that's being talked about written back in january says that that is very broad and sort of the most far reaching argument they would make. and he doesn't agree with all of the elements of it, believes that a lo

robert mueller in january. it reveals the lengths the president's lawyers are going to argue that he is incapable of instructing justice and he cannot be subpoenaed. kelly o'donnell has more on this. a good sunday morning to you. let's get to what else is in the letter. >> reporter: this is a comprehensive look at how the trump legal team views their best case against the investigation. in part, it's a vigorous defense of the powers of the presidency. what we fine d is the trump lawyers began to draft this months ago. it suggests the president cannot be subpoenaed. at the moment, his current lawyers say they have made no decision about whether he would voluntarily sit for an interview. they say on the issue of obstruction, a president cannot be accused of that because this is an investigation over which he already has authority to control. from his camp david weekend, the president asked this on twitter. is the special counsel, justice department leaking my lawyers' letters to the fake news media?

robert? >> you see a president right now, he's trying to adjust to this political moment. he's calculating even against the advice at times of his white house counsel don mcgahn and chief of staff general kelly who are telling him there are legal issues with trying to move forward with this kind of executive order. but he's watching cable news all the time. he's getting pressure from gop lawmakers to take some sort of action and even advice from his own family about how to move from this position. yet he's always torn, he still wants to go to minnesota and have the rally where he says he's tough on immigration, tough on the border, but he also wants to make sure that he doesn't lose all of his political capital. that's why he moves with his executive power. >> elise, melania trump went down to the border today, seemed to have -- seem to have been well received. i was reminded of her first interview after the access hollywood tape came out and how she's been deployed at some of donald trump's lowest moments. let's watch her trying to clean that one up. >> as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on. it was only a mic. and i wonder if they even knew that the mic was on because they w
