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

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

let's go to the st regis hotel, just five minutes down the road from shangri—la.road from shangri—la. that is where kimjong unis down the road from shangri—la. that is where kim jong un is staying. have you seen any sign of him? well, he arrived earlier this afternoon and he left here to meet with the singaporean prime minister, lee hsien loong. it is not farfrom where president trump is staying. you can practically walk it within ten minutes. this is a 5—star hotel buying in the middle of the area, a famous and popular shopping district. —— bang in the middle. one suite would cost thousands of dollars so the question has been asked who is footing the bill. i put that question to the singaporean minister earlier and he didn't want to go into the details. this is where chairman kim is expected to be staying. the summit with president charm is not until tuesday so the question remains on what he will be doing. —— president trump. opinions among singaporeans are somewhat split about being the host of the summit. some are excited and others are annoyed about the traff

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 described as u

st. regis hotel, traveling in a motorcadeith several dozen vehicles in it. e're seeing sig security increasing on the street outside the hotel, a number of north korean guards who have been with him since he touched down in singapore. they wear the red, north korean regime loyalty badges. they're certainly being helped out by the singapore police force. we have seen police officers out here this morning. have police officers who are on motorbikes and just in the last few minutes or so, we've seen some officers coming through with sniffer dogs. you can see some of the larger vehicles now starting to come through, all indication that kim jong-un could set out veryy on meeting. this is a meeting, the sif which cannot be overstated. he is accomplishing something here and sitting down with the u.s. president that his grandfather and that his father failed do. once he leaves this hotel, he'll have about a 15-minute journey to the capela hotel on sentosa island. that location was of course selected because it was a place thatelegations from both countries could best

st. regis hotel. his half-brother actually used to stay quite often.he same brother that kim jong-un reportedly had killed with a chemical attack at an airport just last year. so it really goes to show the dichotomy here. you remember something like that about the north korean dictator, someone who has the human rights things that need to be brought up by the u.s. side, experts say, and it's really here with this flurry of diplomatic activity later. before the white house left the white house to go to canada for the g7 summit he took questions from several reporters, including myself, and i asked him are you going to bring up human rights when you sit down face-to-face with kim jong-un? he answered pretty quickly saying he would bring it up a enthey would talk about it when they sat down in singapore on tuesday morning. we should note when the president was meeting with someone who is accompanying kim jong-un on this trip they say they didn't bring up human rights up even though they met in the oval office and that is one of the few things to keep your

speculation still surrounds the forthcoming events, with plenty of secrecy around the five—star st regis hotelr 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 and ki

he's not back at his hotel preparing at the st. regis.ut and about with the foreign minister from singapore. that really does make you think about what these two leaders are going to walk into this meeting like. president trump is more than double kim jong-un's age. they both certainly are going to have some jet lag, a lot of pressure on both of these leaders, but it is interesting to see the way that kim jong-un is dealing with that pressure, going out and about in a city that he has not been to before since he came to power. and it does really kind of set the stage for what tomorrow morning could look like. >> of course, part of that may be intentional, may be that he wants to project a sense of confidence that he's so well prepared, that he is happening to just walk around and take -- you see him taking a selfie with the foreign minister from singapor a lot of potential brinksmanship, gamesmanship going on here, but fascinating, you see on the right-hand side of the screen from earlier, kim jong-un walking amidst that huge security det

st. regis hotel, beautiful, historic buildings, where they see a higher and better purpose from office use to something else, often residential or hotel. the loss of these buildings has been accumulating over that time. conversions are not solely responsible for the rising demand and rents that have been pressure on office users in san francisco and they -- that pressure, though, has caused displacement on lower revenue office users, class b and c and nonprofits and art spaces. the last space that the buildings represent adds that much more pressure to a system working against them. this legislation returns that space, space that was within the baseline amount of office that was supported by the voters when they adopted proposition m in 1986. and returns it back to office use. it's a modest proposal, but we believe it's sensible and it will work in tandem with our efforts like nonprofit displacement fund, central soma and p.d.r. to provide more space for wider range of businesses and less pressure on the businesses we want to keep. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. welcome. >> hi.

st. regis hotel where kim jong-un is staying. there's that kim jong-un. and there's what we saw this evening, the smiling, relaxed leader who wants to be out of international isolation. but, y know, which was it? was this a genuine attempt to show his new face? or was this some kind of cynical diplomatic moment.age of of tth i suppose that question lies at the heart of what might happen tomorrow and in the months to come. is he sincere or is he just the smiling face behind a cunning dictator that has not changed his ways. and again, the cynics would say -- i, frankly, haven't talked to any expert that really thinks kim jong-un is going to give up his nuclear weapons. you know, we simply don't know if that so-called transformation is genuine or not. >> which brings us back to our big question, how much progress account president really make one-on-one with kim jong-un after the cameras leave. nbc's kelly o'donnell and bill neely in singapore, guys, get some rest. big, big day tomorrow. appreciate it. >>> christopher hill, former u.s. ambassador to south ko

st. regis hotel, or for another stop, but clearly you know the night is young for kim jong-un. >> as you, he was walking into the marina bay sands, a very popular hotel and casino -- has a casino inside of it. >> kim jong-un hanging out at a nightclub in singapore. >> seth: good lord, why not just make an old-timey news real. ah, singapore, the jewel of the orient. folks here are all a flutter about the upcoming summit. why who's this? it's none other than north korean dictator kim jong-un taking a break from torturing his own people to pose for a few snaps with american businessman don trump. shake it away, boys. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] imagine being in that nightclub. [ light laughter ] is that kim jong-un? now, in the run up to this meeting trump admitted that he wasn't doing much to prepare. later he tried to back away from that comment, and as usual rambled his way into talking about the 2016 election and hillary clinton. >> i didn't say that. i said i've been preparing all my life. i always believe in preparation, but i've been preparing all my life. you know these one

st. regis hotel. as you say, a three-minute drive. they have never been so close, certainly physically, and in a sense politically as well, because these are two men that hope that here on sentosa island on tuesday they will come together and will begin a long-term process, a relationship that as president trump hopes might lead to peace and prosperity in north korea. as kim jong-un said in that clip that you ran, the whole world is watching this summit. that really is no exaggeration. they will be watching in beijing, in moscow, in european capitals, and of course nervously in japan and south korea, because they, above all, being closest to north korea's weapons hope that this summit can be a success. so kim jong-un has been preparing for this for a very long time. indeed, alex, you could argue that north korea has been preparing for this moment for half a century, because this is a summit that kim's father and kim's grandfather would have loved. they really wanted the respect of the united states. they never got it. they never got r
