( laughter ) no, obama won't do it. >> like, nobody gave me the oprah rules. so she walked into the hair and makeup trailer the first day and i was playing music. i had sam cooke playing. and i was like, "hey, oprah, get in here, girl!" and then i heard from her ass

let's talk to our correspondent stephen mcdonell now. stephen, i am just a bit confused here. that, that will make it more expensive, won't it? and china is a big consumer of pork. well, the thing with this, it is not that china feels it wants to put his ta riffs that china feels it wants to put his tariffs on, but that it has to respond in some way. and this is what has analysts worried, that the whole thing can spiral out of control. you know, as wejust heard, this is only the first response from china. so the us has its first round of tariffs. china threatens to respond. the us announces its second round of tariffs, and today, china's threat of those first round of ta riffs threat of those first round of tariffs is starting. so in terms of the details, we have 128 us product, 120 of which will have 15% tariffs, and eight of which will have a 25% tariff. so apart from nuts, fruit, ginseng, wine, we have pork. china could ramp it up, of course. these are not things that are really going to hit the us as hard as it could. but they are looking for a way out. after all, if you b

let's talk to correspondent stephen barr awake now who is in the south korean capital so stephen is that the sense that we've been here before ten years ago the north agreeing to end its nuclear program that proved to be a false start is kim serious this time around well it's important to keep that context that we have heard something like this before and just today north korea did not mention actual denuclearization they haven't committed to anything permanent here and all they're saying for the time being is that they're not going to test any more nuclear weapons so this seems like a sign that they are for now satisfied with the level of nuclear armament and they feel like their arsenal is significant enough that they can negotiate from some kind of position of strength in their upcoming summits wish the united states and south korea and they have of course left the door open if they're not satisfied with how these summits play out they could go back on this pleasure they could begin testing weapons again but this is nevertheless an encouraging sign compared to some of the hostile rhet

could be staring at the album cover right now, trying to figure out how there are nine black men he hasn't put in jail yet. ( laughter ). >> jon: oh! >> stephenoke is critical of that. ( laughter ) the point of the joke is he's too ready to-- okay, now. some people want "once upon a time in shaolin" released to the public, like wu-tang rapper method man, who told a reporter, "i thought people were going to be able to go into a museum and listen to it. if it was me, i would just say give it away for free." i don't know how to break it to you, method man, it's 2018. your music's already being given away for free. ( laughter ) so method man wants "once upon a time in shaolin" released to the public. here to respond, in a "late show" exclusive, the man who controls the album's fate, u.s. attorney general jeff sessions. ( laughter ) "yo, yo, yo, uh-huh, uh-huh. "yo, yo, yo, it's the return of jefferson beauregard sessions, a.k.a. lil jeffy lock-em-ups. i'm here to let you know that i will not be releasing 'once upon a time in shaolin' to the public. it's mine, all mine! ha-ha! there's nothing you can do or change that." >> hold up, hold up. hold u

ok on the line now correspondent stephen barr avik who's in the south korean capital so stephen as all report just report rather just pointed out we've been here before ten years ago the north agreeing to end its nuclear program and yet that proved to be a full storm is this another full story or is it perhaps a signal that kim jong un is now serious about deescalating things. it can point to note that north korea has been committed to anything permanent here next to date message contain nothing about denuclearization they're saying. any more nuclear weapon in the field a good sign that they are now satisfied with the look because they're cheap and it seems like they have an arsenal that allows them to build on it again protection negotiate from of creation of strength and they are coming from the to the south korean the u.s. and they were of course the door open that the kurds go back on this if they find that much we're counting on you to be with washington and go are not very liking but at the very least this is an encouraging sign it's better than a lot of rhetoric we from time to

now. stephen carroll joins me. are starting with this very big story that keeps on going, the latest on the facebook data scandal. reporter: that's right. facebook says now up to 87 million users may have had their data obtained by the political consulting firm cambridge analytica, a dramatic increase on previous estimates of 50 billion -- 50 million. my conference call with journalists, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg admitted the company had done wrong. >> we didn't do enough. we didn't focus enough on preventing abubuse and thinknkig through how people use these tools to do harm as well. that goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections, hate speech, in addition to developers and data privacy. we didn't take a broad enough view of what our responsibility is, and that was a huge mistake. it was my mistake. in that conference call, mark zuckerberg said they have not seen any noticeable drop in the users of facebook since the scandal broke in spite of the delete facebook campaign which has sprung up online and

chips, your cards against your chest, right, so thank you to our chief north asia correspondent stephen engle. nowet's move on to our washington secretary. stephen mnuchin is talking about a trip to china to discuss a trip that could derail the global economic upswing. he is optimistic of reaching agreement with beijing. ros krasny is following it all from washington. what else do we know about steve mnuchin's trip to china? much sodon't know very far. he talked saturday at the imf meeting, and he kind of laid out the idea. he is cautiously optimistic of making progress on trade with china, and it seems that overnight we saw from beijing they are aware that secretary mnuchin has plans to come over. i think these sort of like the talks, am jong-un little in the infancy. sounds like the first breakthrough we have seen in this whole tit-for-tat on trade between the u.s. and china. as you also mentioned, and i am sure the trump administration is aware of this, the imf and others have seen trade tension and protectionism as the one elemental or the main element that could derail a really sort outlook.e
