for now, st regis, where you are, rico, waving goodbye to kim jong—un. now, st regis, where you are, that singapore, playing host with dividing opinions about the role of singapore here and the fact it is footing the bill for the north korean delegation, $20 million, i think. yes, 20 million singapore dollars, 50 million us dollars. it is still quite a lot of money for the singaporean government to arrange for the summit. this hotel behind me, st regis hotel, were kim jong—un is staying with his delegation, it costs thousands of dollars. it is not cheap, but singapore is benefiting from the summit. last night when kimjong—un went on a night tour with some of the ministers, that was all over the news. as you mentioned, opinions are split about whether kim jong—un should be treated like a celebrity. he received a very warm welcome as he visited some of the iconic tourist spots behind you like marina bay sands. some people were even cheering and one person even screamed "i love you." this is a man who won for five years ago is accused of killing his own brother and his own uncle. if you

they have now left the st. regisnd making their way with the prime minister loong which will be a very important indicator of intent in all of this after where this might go. interesting to hear the analysis there on how this could certainly be of some assistance to president donald trump who will meet singapore's prime minister tomorrow. kim jong-un was greeted by the foreign minister who tweeted out a photo of the two of them meeting and shaking hands for everyone to see but, of course, this is a huge moment for north korean leader kim jong-un. he has never seen this or met world leaders in this manner and to be on this stage in some right of look at this from the point of history and how important this moment is, pointing out that he has nothing to lose, everything to gain and, of course, everyone wanting to know why now? even if you get to the why now, many in north korea who still have family members unaccounted for from that war and they will be looking at this with a great deal of hope. >> live pictures here.

they came back to the st regis hotel after seeing places like what you can see behind you.s to the capella hotel, where they are holding the summit. they are expected to have lunch together in about half an hour ‘s time and we do not know whether he will come back to st regis hotel before leaving or going straight to the airport. it is a 5—star luxurious hotel, rooms cost thousands of dollars and this event is costing the singapore government $50 million but it seems that they are getting some benefit out of it as well. —— $15 million. are getting some benefit out of it as well. -- $15 million. thank you very much, mariko oi. it is approaching 11 o'clock this morning and we understand the meeting between the two leaders that is currently under way at the capella hotel after an informal meeting between the two leaders that lasted around 40 minutes. kimjong—un is due to leave singapore here at two o'clock in the afternoon local time and he will be followed, it if you like, by donald trump leaving at seven o'clock this evening. in total about four hours to really get down to t

lou: we are going quickly to the st. regis hotel where people are pouring out of the st. regis.se are some bodyguards and looks like various attendants to kim and top officials getting ready to move there, some of whom will be meeting with and supporting kim and meeting with the trump white house team, national security team, including the secretary of state pompeo, national security advisor john bolton, even the white house press secretary sarah sanders traveling with the president. it will be quite a conglomeration of folks getting together there at the capella hotel. we'll go there as soon as we get the word or the sense that kim has left the building and has taken up his position in the armored mercedes. quite an imposing vehicle he travels in. joining me, the dean himself, ed rollins. and michael goodwin. ed, your thoughts. the summit is underway. the summit so many people said it's a bad idea, couldn't happen. and he i ed: both side know what they want and both side know what they have to give up. the president wants denuclearization defined by us, and if so, he can contin

this is outside the st. regis, this is kim jong-un, he's going to be getting in one of these cars momentarily. >> the security in singapore can't get any better. he's got an armored car, the chances of anybody taking a shot are about zero. >> he flew the car in on a north korean plane. >> there's no risk to anybody there. there's probably more risk in washington, d.c., than in singapore. it's a police state. and that's probably one of the reasons why they picked it, but you're still going through the motions of protecting the leader. you. >> know better than anybody else, that the motions that the government of singapore put in place are phenomenal. there is a large price tag to all of this, i would suggest there's a playbook they have in place. in this case. they had to put the additional 15% in place plus singapore is a very nice street. we all have seen no gum on the streets. it doesn't seem to be hyperbole. you have been to north korea so many times, know more about kim jong-un than any other foreign journalis

the center of singapore outside the st. regis.the motorcycles, the police motorbikes lining up before 6:00 p.m. local. it took them about three hours before they were ready to leave. now, i can tell you something that is unfolding around me right now, which is we're seeing more police suddenly on the street. it was otherwise empty. now what that normally means is a precursor to someone very important, possibly arriving at the hotel. we're going to keep eyes on that for you. what we normally do is see a bit of an intensification, police officers normally come over and warn us to stay off the road and we'll begin to see motorcycles with their flashing lights appear as they clear the road for security reasons and safety before any motorcade can come in. this is the kind of movement we have seen over the past couple of days, but that is a movement we saw what is roughly an hour and a half ago and right before we got all of those pictures of kim jong-un meeting with the foreign minister, vivian balakrishnan, walking by the gardens by t

mr kim is staying at the five—star st regis hotel, which isjust st regis hotel, which isjust a nine—minutete drive from where president trump is staying. rupert wingfield hayes has been taking a closer look at the two leaders‘ choice of accommodation. this is the back entrance to the shangri—la hotel and this is where we saw president trump's motorcade come ina we saw president trump's motorcade come in a short while ago. you can see the level of security there. we saw him in his big presidential limousine waiting as he went past, but the key moment for me was a couple of cars later, when we saw from flash photography, the very distinctive features of the national security adviser, john bolton, with his distinctive walrus moustache in the back of that car. many people had speculated donald trump wouldn't bring him to the summit but he is here and very, very much disliked by the north korean people, so that is an interesting aspect of this. we're now going to go off to wear kim jong unis now going to go off to wear kim jong un is staying, which is not far away. that took all of about five m

. >> reporter: at about 9:00 last night, kim jong-un's motorcade suddenly left the st. regis hotel.utes later he arrived at one of this city's most famous tourist spots, the gardens by the bay. singapore's foreign minister posted this selfie with the north korean leader inside what's known as "the flower dome." later, kim jong-un was then spotted walking on a bridge near the water, smiling and taking even more photos. for the first time, north korean state tv announced details of kim jong-un's trip to singapore, describing the summit as "historic" and said kim would be "exchanging wide-ranging and profound views." citizens in the north korean capital watched the coverage on a big screen tv and read it on the front page of newspapers. but he wasn't the only one causing a medi theysed hidownhe street. kim jong-un, who is believed to be just 34 years old, took over from his father in 2011. since then, he's launched nearly 100 missiles, and conducted north korea's most powerful nuclear tests. he has convinced the north korean people that nuclear weapons are the only savior from an invas

we can show you some more alive pictures they are, from outside the st regis hotel in singapore, whereeld—hayes there was telling us the delegation are preparing to move off in the next few minutes for a meeting with singaporean officials. the actual summit was donald trump doesn't get under way until tuesday. he is still in the air, by the way. your force one expected to arrive a little later on in singapore. —— air force one is expected to arrive a little time. donald trump on his way from that meeting with the g7 leaders in canada, which ended in disarray. we will be back in singapore alive for you in just a few more minutes. here, big companies will soon have to publish, and justify, the pay gap between high paid executives and their average worker. under new laws to be laid out in parliament tomorrow, uk listed companies with more than 250 employees will have to disclose the so—called "pay ratios" in their organisation every year. the tuc welcomed the move but says workers should also be appointed to boards. nobody is suggesting successful business leaders should not get remunerat

i'm outside st regis hotel, where kimjong un of north korea is staying.n, but as you can see, still a lot of media interest with many journalists camping outside. kimjong un, left here, went to meet with the prime minister of singapore, lee hsien loong, and their meeting was streamed live on prime minister lee's facebook page, which is very singapore in 2018, shall i say. but this hotel is a five—star hotel, bang in the centre of a very popular orchard shopping district here in singapore. the presidential suite here would cost thousands of dollars, so the question has been asked, who is footing that bill? i put that question to a singaporean minister earlier, but he remained rather tight—lipped, as you can imagine. of course, the meeting between president trump and kim jong un is not until tuesday. so the question remains what kim jong un is doing on monday. but also, it's interesting to note that opinions amongst singaporeans are somewhat split about being the host of this historic summit. some are, of course, excited. but others are slightly annoyed abo

thousands of journalists and onlookers watched his motorcade make its way through the city and to the st regis hotel where the delegation is staying trump is set to arrive from come back later today today's summit will be the first time that a north korean leader has met with a sitting u.s. president and it's attracting a huge amount. of international attention. well for more on this i'm joined now here in the studio by having the guy he's from the think tank the german council on foreign relations pending a thanks for joining us so this meeting is actually supposed to take place on tuesday but both can go on and donald trump are already in singapore are we likely to see them meet earlier i don't think so because they must prepare the meeting of course and there are other people jimmied from the region that will take the opportunity i think it has been a kind of race to be to be there on the spot earlier and for trump it was an opportunity to slip the face of the other g seven members believing that summit earlier than than expected writes a trump is due to arrive later today and he's describe

speculation still surrounds the forthcoming events, with plenty of secrecy around the five—star st regis leader is staying. it's been reported that only north korean media workers, dressed in identical black suits, were able to move freely around the building. my colleague mariko oi sent this update. i'm outside saint regis hotel, where kim jong—un of north korea is staying. he arrived earlier on sunday afternoon, but as you can see, still a lot of media interest with many journalists camping outside. kim jong—un left here, wants to meet with the prime minister of singapore lee hsien loong, and their meeting was streamed live on prime minister lee's facebook page, which is very singapore and 2018, shall i say. but this hotel is a 5—star hotel bang—in the centre of a very popular shopping district here in singapore. the presidential suite here would cost thousands of dollars, so the question has been asked who is footing that bill. i put that question to a singaporean minister earlier, but he remained rather tight—lipped, as you can imagine. of course, the meeting between president trump

kim jong-un is at the st. regis. they are closer now than ever before, both literally and diplomatically. they have traveled further than ever imagined possible. cast your mind back to a year ago when it was fire and fury and little rocket man. i remember being in north korea. i was there four times. i was total over and over and over again, our nuclear weapons program is not up for discussion. well, it is now, at least we think it is. we don't have a clear idea what's on the agenda for tuesday. kim jong-un has already been at work. he's already met his host here, singapore's prime minister lee. during that meeting he looked relaxed, dressed in his usual traditional mao-style suit with an interpreter and apparently he said the entire world is watching the historic summit. his has brought with him and they are in the hotel at the moment almost the entire north korean leadership. that's significant, alex. it also shows that collectively the shone his head of his army, his foreign minister, his sister is here, too. she'

president trump is at the shangri la, kim jong-un at the st. regis half a mile away. president trump said he will let us know if the summit was productive. he plans to hold an immediate briefing before leaving singapore. of course, we'll continue to monitor everything that comes out of the catella hotel. >>> back here at home, a 911 emergency of a different kind. south bay police officers say they've been unable to communicate wit dispatch for days in the life and death profession that's added pressure and danger to these officers. nbc bay area joins us in sunnyville with this exclusive story. >> i'm told the system is back up and running. i'm monitoring the traffic here on my police scanner. police officers today sounded the alarm. for several days last week, sunnyvale police officers say this is all they heard on their radios. silence. >> i personally experienced having my radio call sign called out by dispatch. we did not hear them, and then finally on the fifth try, they did get through. >> reporter: police say the problem was enter mitt teinterm 48-hour period. b

presumably he will not be going to the st. regis hotel and meeting with kim jong-un tonight before the big summit tomorrow. but he's been one of the few team until now, when few westerners or one of few americans have had any time that they spent with this young north korean leader. michael liter joins me now, former director of the national counterterrorism center and ambassador wendy sherman, who served as a member of the.s. negotiating team with north korea. both are msnbc contributors. wendy, you negotiated with kim jong- jong-un's father, kim jong-il, but never had to deal with dennis rodman. >> just watching this, i feel like president trump and kim jong-un are going to be members of "celebrity apprentice." this just feels like a sitcom of some sort as opposed to having the gravity that this is about the security of the united states of america. the president's obsession with looking strong and powerful and tough, which was what he thought he was doing at the g7, making sure his base is secure, which he believes he does when h
