secretary pompeo emphasised when he thought there was progress and the north koreans, the north korean statements, that was not a pulling the plug statement, that was a sort ofjiggling with the plug and pushing back and pushing their agenda. we willjust have to see where it moves in the next stage. should much of these issues have been clarified before the meeting with president trump and kim jong—un? that is an interesting debate. there are two schools of thought. the traditional diplomatic approach would be all the preparation leading up to the summit. from a focus on north korea, i would say there is a good logic behind the trump administration approach, which is to start with opening that channel to kim jong—un. their system is very different to ours, and kimjong—un, in particular, has shown inclination to move in a different direction. like south korea, when you open a channel to the top it gives you a window of opportunity. it looks like it's done upside down, but i actually think this is a good method, given the particularities of the north korean system. we know what the

been central to north korean indoctrination. this government video shows a north korean dreaming of new york city being destroyed by a missile attack. thliaverage north korean eves a significant part of the anti-american propaganda. they believe that americans are ready to invade. they believe that america is a threat. they believe that americans started the korean w in order to enslave or maybe commit large-scale genocide in korea. they believe it. not all, but a majority. narrator: in pyongyang, state tv news is broadcast on public squares, warning of imminent war with america. (children singing) narrator: once a week, whole villages are required to attend meetingsfying the leader. (children singing) narrator: the regime demands displays of total loyalty. if you don't attend these weekly meetings, you could come under suspicion. way the north korean regime keeps the regime going, one of the reasons is fear tactics. ,narrator: in north korea it's not only the person who commits the crime that is punished. often, their whole fam

there's far more inner penetration of north korean society today than befor if north korean people themselves stop believing in the regime and the story they tell themselves, thateans central control is breaking down in some ways. narrator: kim jong un has reportedly been sending his security forces house to house, searching for illegal dvds, thd last november ordered e execution of as many as 80 pe le, some for watchingreign tele. narrator: open radio for north korea is a station staffed by defectors transmitting stories into the country from across the border in the south. (translated): what the north korean regime fears the most is information about the outside world going into the country. we tell the north korean people how vicious their dictatorship is. if someone listens to these broadcasts and passes the story on to other people, and if the story is political, it becomes a very serious matter. in these cases, i understand that some even facpublic execution. renarrator: the story they broadcasting today-- that kim jong un's wife, a former pop star, recorded a pornographic video-- is qu

koreans, my read of this is that that's what the north koreans want more of. they want less talk about denuclearization, less talk about complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization. less talk about all of the things that secretary pompeo probably talked about in pyongyang. and more talk about building relationships, building trust, they want more talk about what concessions the united states is prepared to add to the ones that it's already made. >> evans what kind of concessions could they still further want? president trump said said we have not made any concessions and yet the joint military exercises that were scheduled with south korea next month, those were canceled. what kind of concessions are they looking for? >> probably at the top of their list, beyond the measures that were already taken, you've named one very important one, are concessions in the area of sanctions, the removal of some of the sanctions and other measures that are imposed on north korea that have been taking a toll on the north korean economy and on its ability to use the inter

of the north koreans to deliver a declaration. this is a big ask. if this is what secretary pompeo has been pushing for in the first round of talks that were followingin pyongyang the singapore summit, it is not surprising the north koreans may have box about that. if i were heading up negotiations that would not be the first thing i would ask for. it would be pushing the north koreans to solidify and expand upon their halls of nuclear testing and ballistic missile testing with a halt on missile .roduction that provides the time for the u.s. and north korea pursue these negotiations on developing a piece regime and moving towards dismantling. i would agree that the declaration would come at a mid to late her in this process. is an important question that the u.s. side needs to consider as it develops its strategy on this process. i think we had another question up front. since -- my question is directed at mark. you seem to have a problem with missiles but you don't have any problem with air forces. what are you going to do about

the north koreans say we have the verification of that. if you want to have verification in our country we should have verification. would be interesting to see how do you do that, what kind of inspections would that be. so, ultimately i think they are interested in an article six language that we will work in good faith towards the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons. the way that i interpret what they are saying is part of being a regular nuclear status to make brought aspirational statements like that and someday down the road we will be there with your breath. >> that answers my final question a little bit more. i think the best case scenario is that there are negotiations moving forward. we finally get a process. right now all the things we are eluting to buy just think about how we did the treaty and although the secretary has many states to do besides negotiating a treaty that there was nobody named. what's a best case scenario to get it set up and have a process, singapore becomes a place like geneva used to be at the arms cont

his north korean counterparts let's bring sarah clarke in our correspondent who is in the south korean capital seoul following events for us while the three foreign ministers seem to be certainly on the same page when it comes to dealing with north korea the one thing that was very evident from mike pompei or that he wanted to emphasize that north korea and the talks were on track despite what is being said from pyongyang at the moment. yes that and that's exactly the message is getting across so this is the first time he's actually officially responded since north korean foreign ministry mystery put out there this statement last night he said north korea in the meetings in pyongyang of the last couple days he said north korea reaffirmed reaffirmed its commitment to dig nuclearization details on the next step to confirm that they would meet in july to discuss the repair of the u.s. service members he said they agreed to destroy the nuclear test sites and the obvious stablish these working level groups which will work day to day on moving forward on this denuclearization plan he did ack

north korean officials have been known to pros a u.s.-dprk mutual security treaty along with the marshall plan to rehabilitate the north korean economy. the argument goes like this, you and japan were bitter enemies. today you are the closest of allies and japan, thanks to your support, is an economic powerhouse. , as well as are however unrealistic, such statements are said in earnest and should be listened to. three leaders, who each for his own reasons seeks to carve out a new legacy predecessors. his out of nowhere, and none for , andvic tree in the impeachment and south korea, and the death of a leader in north korea have produced leaders that seem willing to take new risks, the first in many years. president donald trump began his presidency with the mistaken notion that the satellite of china, north korea would end to their well and be given tough nuclear sanctions which would make them give up their weapons. thanks to president moon's advice, he has come to understand that diplomacy bolstered by a gradual lifting of sanctions may

that may play into the north korean calculus. relatedly, united states has damaged its credibility with allies and other partners in the reason -- in the region when it comes to cooperating with tools united states employees like sanctions. a lot of the reason iran was pushed to the negotiating table was due to their a smart and effective sanctions this policy -- sanctions diplomacy. getting state on board when it was against their economic interest to employ these measures. and by violating without reason, that has called into question the willingness of some of these critically important states like china to continue to comply and abide by extraterritorial sanctions. i think there is a trust deficit, but i do not think it is insurmountable. certainly, the fact that pompeo went back to upon yang -- went back to pyongyang, and north korea delivered the remains, i think all these small steps are critical in terms of creating that culture of accountability for both sides. daryl: other questions? >> stanford university. this word de

as well as the north korean people. so, there's been a lot of discussion about denuclearization but not so much about the interests of north korean people. so both from the abuse they suffer from the kim regime, as well as the fact that for the most part outside powers don't seem to be as concerned with providing for the north korean people at the moment, what is your reaction to that and how do you think the interests of the north korean people themselves can be integrated into these discussions? >> i would say, first of all, i think precisely what you've articulated should inform decisions made to make exceptions to sanctions for humanitarian assistance. that is allowed by the u.n. i think we should take a humanitarian view in doing that. in the longer term, the more difficult issues to get at, which is the nature of the a me, and the absence of human rights situation that would be consistent with any kind of international standard, i do think that it also has to be part of the negotiation going forward. but i think i

meanwhile, the north koreans are doing well. the south koreans are planning family reunions, sports delegations, the chinese are lifting bilateral sanctions, the pinch they were feeling in 2017 and 2018 is starting to dissipate. the north koreans feel they are in a good position. we need to go back to the chinese and tell them, put the pressure back on. we can't give up alliance equities, we can't promise to start pulling troops from the peninsula as a way to entice the north koreans, that would be bad. >> kathy, what might be the scenario where kim jong-un returns to north korea, and gets feedback from the military infrastructure, therefore, he is tightening the screws now. >> i am with victor, i think that kim is in a good position. i think one of the defenses of trump in his preaches toward negotiating with kim jong-un. what strikes me is more likely as driving kim to the table is the fact that in his view, as he stated publicly, he completed his nuclear program. he is operating from a position of strength. at no point, has t

koreans what president trump a set therefore able to achieve it if the north koreans are prepared in fact to denuclearize this includes all elements of their nuclear program if we convinced convince them of that that in fact their security is greater that in fact the real threat to their security is the continued holding onto of that nuclear weight nuclear weapons program and not the converse. sir j. lever off invited kim jong un to russia and passed on a message from president vladimir putin in response the north korean leader sent warm greetings to the president of russia ilia portray co has been following the meeting in on young and got exclusive images from inside north korea. these are our first. the democratic people's republic of korea. so sergey lavrov just departed and we're going to follow him right now. we just left the airport and we're trying to catch up with sergey lavrov but we seem to be a bit far behind or on the way to the capital pyongyang. this is a truly incredible opportunity for us to film inside the place where most high profile meetings and north korea happen

secretary pompeo emphasised when he thought there was progress and the north koreans, the north korean statements, that was not a pulling the plug statement, that was a sort ofjiggling with the park and pushing back and pushing their agenda. we willjust have to see where it moves in the next stage. much of these issues have been clarified beat for the meeting with president trump and kim jong—un. with president trump and kim jong-un. that is an interesting debate. there are two schools of thought. the traditional diplomatic approach will be all the preparation leading up to the summit —— would be. from a focus on north korea, i would say there is a good logic behind the trump administration approach, which is to start with opening bat channel to kim jong—un. their system is very different to ours, and kimjong—un, in particular, has shown inclination to move ina particular, has shown inclination to move in a different direction. like south korea, when you open a channel to the top it gives you a window of opportunity. it looks like it is done upside down, but i actually think

some of his other comments i think really aided and abetted the north korean cause because the north koreans have for decades asked for the removal of u.s. troops from south korea. to see the president get up and say i'm all in favor of it, must have come as a shock to the north koreans and the south koreans. there is a lot of talk about how the south korean government wants to see these negotiations with north korea succeed. it is a so-called prerogative government that has a lot of interest in trying to calm things down with north korea. all true. i think this government of moon jae-in also is concerned of managing the u.s. relationship and if we have a situation where the u.s. is talking to the north koreans of our deployment of south korea, we have a problem on how people are managing that relationship. >> before we end, i want to play you a sound bite, part of an interview of john bolton of how hong it would take to denuclearize. it's a much more aggressive timeline you gave us. you thought at least two years, if at all. the cia people are telling secretary pompeo that they may

north korean threat is gone. nothing kocould be farther from the truth, and they're intensifying their effort to break the economic sanctions. that's what's going on. >> in fact, the president tweeted to your point, sir, there was no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. do statements like this weaken our negotiating power? >> of course. because the only people paying attention are the secretary of state and the secretary of defense. the north korean with 2 0 0,000 with over 300 senior people shot by kim jong-un know he's not an honorable man. this kind of nonsense talk may work in real estate deals in new york city, but it's not going to have any impact in north korea. we need to get objective. write down what are we trying to achieve? dialogue is good. the engagement by pompeo is a good thing, not a bad thing. we can't lose our allies as the south koreans and the japanese in the process of this. i think probably the worst thing that's now happening is we're up front giving away concessions without getting a

and certainly from the north korean perspective. not something that's going to happen in a matter of months even though officials have continued to hold out hope. we have heard a bit of a change in tone even from president trump himself acknowledging that perhaps the deal they signed with kim jong-un could fall apart. although the deal was such a broadly worded pledge that even if the north koreans are, indeed, expanding their facilities. right now they're not actually violating any agreement signed with the united states. they never said they would disarm. they never said they would stop producing components for ballistic missiles. especially considering the fact that not only are we seeing enhancements at the chemical material institute in hamhong, but there are also reports leaked to a number of different american news agencies that they may be enriching plutonium. and not fully disclosing how many warheads they possess. i can tell you from many trips to north korea, they are certainly not going to put themselves in a situation w

nuclear talks with senior north korean officials. he is now in tokyo engaged in talks with u.s. allies but ending the regimes nuclear program. hello everyone i'm arthel neville. a brand-new hour inside of "americas news headquarters". hello mike! >> hello, i am mike emanuel. officials putting out a statement saying talks with mike pompeo are deeply guttural and the u.s. is gangster like making demands to pressure its country into abandoning the nuclear weapons. rich edson is in tokyo. >> the sun is just up on a sunday morning in tokyo. in a few hours the secretary of state will travel to meet here with leaders from japan and south korea to update them on his conversations in pyongyang over the past couple of days. to the secretary, he made progress. the north koreans, the talks were regrettable. the secretary, this is one third trip to pyongyang and north korea. the first one where he had no meeting directly with kim jong-un. the state department says there was never an expectation that they will meet on the trip. as for the discussi

standing firm with his asian allies america's top diplomat shrugs off north korean accusations that he is behaving like a gangster. the in with. hello there rain is still plaguing parts of japan recently it's been incredibly wet in fact the heavy rain has been with us for over a week now and it's cause major problems these pictures from hiroshima showing the flooding that we've had there and what's left after the floods have cleared now just in the past few hours we've seen some more very violent storms in the south and those reports some very heavy downpours some places reporting another one hundred millimeters of rain on top of the rain we've already seen and so there is an emergency warning in force for some of the regions in the southern parts of japan at the moment now fortunately as we head through the next few days it does look a good deal brighter and carmo weather wise so i think the tokyo will be a good few days before we see some more heavy rain thirty two degrees will be our maximum on monday plenty of sunshine here to the next system is forming to the north of us that's he

>> well, just, you know, the koreans had said -- the north koreans said to secretary pompeo this is your multiple trip over here. the more times that you come, it shows us that you want to work with us and we start to work with you, and like you. there is a like factor in any type of negotiation that you are doing and the next piece though is that we've got to show the north koreans what we're looking for and what we're asking for and again i go back to one of the joint aspects will be o of e joint inspectors who need to go in. but i also believe that there should be a science and technology piece to this, that we saw with the russians years ago. that we are able to share with the u.s., south korean and north korean scientists and kind of swap ideas on how do do these things so that there are no nuclear issues or nuclear accidents and we help the north koreans along as friendship, helping them to get to the point of denuclearization. >> melissa: thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> melissa: the lawmakers warn that if the justice department does not turn over additional documents on

the north koreans understand that and have not challenged that. second, they also understand that denuclearisation makes no sense as an verification. they acknowledged that as well. there will be verification connected to the complete denuclearisation, thatis to the complete denuclearisation, that is what resident trump and chairman kim agreed to. —— president tron. what is most important is what the north koreans understand and demands that the world is making of north korea will be unmistakable, the scope of what denuclearisation means to the north koreans, i have been directly with them. let's speak to the bbc‘s mariko oi, who's in seoul. thank you forjoining us. you have been following the story over the past few days. once again, confusion. the north koreans say one thing and the americans say another. absolutely. quite a difference in how that two—day meeting was interpreted between north korea and mr pompeo. as mr pompeo left for tokyo yesterday he said that the nuclear talks were productive. he landed in tokyo, we saw some tweets f

neighbors south korea is on alert so husain korean government is closely watching north korean movements and closely working with the united states however i hope you understand that we are not able to speak about intelligence reports. this on the heels of reports that north korea is continuing to enrich uranium in secret and critics say the trumpet ministration is being played by north korea last week u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o faced criticism from within his own party i am afraid there is this point the united states the troubled ministration is being taken for a ride fear not senator fear not. there is no doubt the u.s. intelligence community is watching north korea closely it is unclear however what progress has been made toward denuclearization since the trump him summit. for let's take the story down to the united states phenomena standing by in washington good evening to you carson so what has been the reaction to this report from the washington post. on the white house has not officially reacted to the reports but one of the president's surrogates kellyanne conway has

when the north koreans say they expected the u.s. to bring constructive measure to build confidence, it seems like what they're going to there. >> well, that seems to be the real challenge, exactly determining what that verification regime will look like, how intrusive inspections will be, what the north koreans would have to produce. arms experts long said any real agreement would have to have these measures in place in order for it to -- because of north korea, the scope and scale of the nuclear program, it has been hiding it for decades from american and other country's surveillance perhaps. because of that scale, the verification program would have to be large. north korea is seeming to push back on any intrusive verification, at least in this initial meeting. >> all right. ryan browne for us there in washington. ryan, thank you very much. >>> president trump heads to brussels next week for the nato summit and plans to talk to world leaders about one of his pet peeves. the countries not spending enough on their defense while the

koreans are asking for some mild sanctions will be somewhere or for some money you know the north koreans often ask for money fuel rice things like that i mean north korea's you know dreadfully poor course and economically rather backward and desperately needs extra imports particularly food and fuel and so my guess is that or perhaps just money that's just gone midnight in the us in washington we've had trump tweeting the remains of leaving soon north korea and heading to the u.s. he's calling it a great moment and he's saying thank you kim jong un how much has he got to gain from this you know i think one of the reasons why the m.i.a. returns was inserted in the singapore declaration from a month ago is because so many of the things the north koreans probably aren't going to move on. if you read the declaration the north koreans say complete denuclearization but there's no timeline and so i think donald trump needed something that was more immediately deliverable and this is something that's not particularly costly for north korea to give up it's difficult for the north koreans to do fo

korean state media used to talk about those same talks in a statement released on state media the north korean government went on to accuse the u.s. of the training the spirit of the summit between kim jong un and donald trump last month in singapore that statement went on to say that the u.s. was making one sided and quote robber like demands of north korea that may rattle the country's willingness to denuclearize now the big question here though is how much you take these statements at face value and how much are they posturing and certainly the united states itself has done its own share of posturing in these talks leading up to the singapore summit trump had threatened to cancel that meeting at the last minute only to bring it back online at this point the president has yet to respond to how the north korea has characterized these latest talks with the u.s. secretary of state but given of plans continue as they are currently laid out by pompei you is expected to step back from his personal role leading these talks he will be replaced with lower u.s. officials which adds to the conce

video and the north koreans during his two days. with delta shows and going young but they declined on comments you know commenting on that is all told these talks this doesn't give a very going to stick a picture to what we can see from that one. on the other hand for south korea they seem very very stiff on their reputation that they need to see concrete steps to address the inequality station of north korean nuclear program but we'll leave it there for the continue to follow vents with the there from turkey thirty seven our correspondent in tokyo thank you. still ahead although there are dozens dead and missing in japan after drenching rain tree just flooding and landslides. and the sand is growing but when. the weather sponsored by qatar airways hello there we've got a good deal of cloud is drifting its way across the caspian sea at the moment you can see it on the satellite picture it's here gradually edging its way eastwards and that it does say it's bringing us a few showers will see a few of those around georgia there on sun

what the north koreans say is that the united states is asking for too much. what they want above any economic incentives from the u.s. or the easing of sanctions, is a security guarantee for their leader kim jong-un. they want guarantees he's going to stay the ruler of that country. what they want is a peace treaty a formal end to the korean war, replacing the armistice agreement that was signed in 1953 when the fighting stopped but still kept north korea technically at war with the south and with the u.s. and its allies. they also want a slow, step-by-step denuclearization process that gives them economic benefits along the way, whereas the united states is saying they're not going to lift sanctions until the end of the process. but they are backed up right now, wolf, by their traditional allies, china and russia, who have told kim jong-un reportedly that they have his back, even if talks with the united states fall apart. >> and remember, one thing the north koreans did before the summit with the president and kim jong-un was release those three american pr

returning home north korea. killed during the korean war. also coming up. more than four hundred children parents seven hundred. victory official results are expected later on friday. and. port. returned the remains of american soldiers killed during the korean war and u.s. military plane flew to north korea on friday morning and returned to south korea carrying the remains a short time ago. to return the remains during his meeting with donald trump in june eight thousand. six decades after the fighting stops on the korean peninsula. has more from washington d.c. . the handover of these remains of these u.s. service members was one of the clear actions that was in the singapore communique from june when u.s. president donald trump met the north korean leader kim jong un over there in singapore and this was all part of it the handover of these remains it's unclear why it took so long after the sing this summit for this to happen but we do know that secretary of state my palm pale was over in north korea recently and it's probably safe to assume that this was

korean side we're receiving faxes and mails the north koreans are looking for new business partners here as well so the mood is very optimistic right now right across from his apartment is a new luxury development despite its prime location when we visited it last year property sales weren't booming now most of the apartments have apparently been sold for twice as much as the original asking price property prices have gone up and down as the korean peninsula has veered between the prospects of war and peace and right now prices are surging so much so the local government has imposed restrictions to try to cool the markets. commercial property sales are also booming eighty percent of units have already been sold in this new development that could be home to traders from both sides of the border if sanctions are lifted. is in the best position to become a trade hub for north east asia instead of being isolated time while there's been extensive development on the chinese side of the river the north koreans. remains largely undeveloped but a recent visit by north korean leader kim jong

korean films are being shown to the public without restrictions unusual because north korean movies are classified as special data which means to screen those films a south korean cinema would need to pry approval from the government people in energy and in line with the recent death and expectations of untrue korean relationships and mutual exchange we suggested to the ministry of culture sports and tourism new way of screening to allow our audience to watch north korea movies without any difficulties that lead to what you could call a free release. one of the films being shown is an animation made in two thousand and eight to educate people about traffic rules the organizers chose it because they thought it depicted city life n.p.r. the north korean capital the other is about three young orphaned siblings who overcome odds to stay together an award winning film with a strong focus on the universal theme of family bonds. as a north korean japanese film director has traveled to north korea several times to make movies yes. good actors a jumpstart to resolving conflict so in that sen

korean state media today spoke her son from the north korean government calling these talks regrettable the unnamed spokesperson went on to say that this was the u.s. betraying the spirit of the presidential summit from last month and that the u.s. was making one sided and in his in his words robber like demands that may rattle the willingness of north korea to denuclearize now the big question is how much of this is sincere and how much of it is posturing and certainly the u.s. side has been has done its share of posturing itself with the u.s. president donald trump immediately before the singapore summit canceling that meeting with kim jong un that was after north korea had made use similarly harsh language to criticize the u.s. vice president so how trump will react to these statements following pump ale's visit is still a huge unknown if plan if plans carry out as they are currently laid out though we know that palm pale is playing to scale back his personal involvement in further talks he will be replaced with lower level u.s. officials was just adds another layer of concern of how

and i spoke with a source very familiar with the north korean negotiations who feels that north korea has already taken steps. you heard barbara mention the nuclear test site apparent demolition. it was impossible for us journalists to verify what we were seeing, and the fact that north korea hasn't launched anything or conducted a nuclear test since november of last year. north korea feels now it's time for the u.s. to act, and what they want, poppy, above any economic concessions from the united states, is a peace treaty. they want a formal end to the korean war that has technically been ongoing since 1953, because until they get a peace treaty, the north koreans feel that their leader, kim jong-un, and his government could still be in danger of attack by the united states. >> north korea also wants the united states, obviously, to begin lifting sanctions. to be clear, though, the action we have seen in the past few weeks has been cancelled followup meetings, as we have reported on this show. and as barbara noted, this missile engine testing facility, that the president keeps saying

if there is no doubt in my mind that it's the chinese pulling a north koreans back into the north korean friends, can't say the word friend yet. what you ask pompeo did he sleep well? if you knew what i knew about what we could do to the leadership of north korea, you wouldn't sleep very well. >> dana: i actually really enjoyed reading about that exchange with the north korean general asking mike pompeo twice, surely you couldn't have slept well last night and are secretary of state said i slept just fine. meanwhile, president trump will meet one-on-one with vladimir putin in helsinki. reports that the kremlin is working with the u.s. to have a deal that the president will except, they say putin has agreed in principle to u.s. and israeli demands that iranian backed forces in southern syria be kept away from israel's border, replaced with troops loyal to the government and damascus and according to two kremlin advisors. would you recommend the president agreed to that deal? >> senator graham: given russia's behavior, absolutely not. russia was supposed to make sure they had no chemical w

the north koreans are continuing to exercise. they've got their summer drills that end in august, but we're not going to have our corresponding drills to make sure we're ready to defend. all sorts of things that president trump has really put us at risk. now, it doesn't matter if he is right about kim's intentions. but if he is wrong, we have some really serious problems we've got to deal with. >> michael, at this point, the president has always had these qualifiers, that if he is telling the truth, if they are going ahead with this thing. at what point do we start to realize that it might not be that? because there are reports out today that the white house is so excited about the way things went in singapore, which would make them about the only folks in the country who are, that they want to have another summit in september when everybody comes to new york for the united nations. they want to have kim jong-un come here to new york which will be fantastic for traffic and further these discussions. at some point, does somebody h

but not what the north koreans thought at all. absolutely right. depending on whose version of events you believe these we re version of events you believe these were either deeply regrettable talks or highly productive. after that summit in singapore they came to a rather vague declaration and america sent its top tips diplomat, mike pompeo to put some flesh on the bone and nail down commitments from north korea. he failed to meet with the north korean leader kim jong owned or get a timetable towards denuclearisation. indeed, he may have set relations back somewhat bearing in mind the statement from the north korean foreign minister which ink used a lot america of making gangster like demands. the problem appears to be the american insistence that north korea engage in unilateral dean the north prefers a more step—by—step approach with some reciprocity on the part of the united states at various points along the way. but the americans have always insisted that is non—negotiable and it is not a possibility. so this could be a protracted proce

it would be the first time that the north korean leader would ever go to the u.n. general assembly and it would be hard for me to imagine if that happened that president trump could resist the temptation to have another big media show, a meeting in new york, perhaps even at trump tower on 57th street in order to get the maximum coverage that he can out of another big event like that. >> so the meeting also that according to mike pompeo, says there is another meeting set for july 2we12th not between state department officials but defense department officials. what would you hope would be discussed in that meeting? >> i think that meeting is entirely about the return of the 200 sets of p.o.w. mia remains from the korean war which president trump said that he had already gotten but hasn't gotten yet. and i think the holdup there is that generally the north koreans want us to pay to get those remains back. and i'm sure from the u.s. perspective we don't want to pay for sets of remains that the north koreans have already promised us. >> all right. victor, always good to

korean side we're receiving faxes and mails the north koreans are looking for new business partners here as well so the mood is very optimistic right now right across from his apartment is a new luxury development despite its prime location when we visited it last year property sales weren't booming now most of the apartments have apparently been sold for twice as much as the original asking price property prices have gone up and down as the korean peninsula has veered between the prospects of war and peace and right now prices are surging so much so the local government has imposed restrictions to try to cool the markets. commercial property sales are also booming eighty percent of units have already been sold in this new development that could be home to traders from both sides of the border if sanctions are lifted from . is in the best position to become a trade hub for north east asia instead of being isolated. while there's been extensive development on the chinese side of the river the north korean side remains largely undeveloped but a recent visit by north korean leader kim

. >> secretary mike pompeo had been here a couple of hours when north korean ministry released gangster like, just before he left and basically outlined that they had fairly positive negotiations in the progress that they had made in almost two days of negotiations with the north korean government. he also said the president and kim jong un remained personally committed to ridding north korea of nuclear weapons. >> chairman kim is so committed. i had a chance to speak with president trump this morning. >> the foreign ministry statement criticizing u.s. demands also included message from kim jong un's office noting that the north korean dictator believed that he had built trust with president trump during summit in singapore and expects that that will continue the trust building as negotiations are ongoing. state department confirmed pompeo brought with him a letter from president trump to kim jong un and north korean delegation that kim received it and will discus more difficult issues between two governments. it's unclear how far negotiators are along or in how long it would take to di

boy, you think that the north koreans and u.s. were in different meetings based on the readings. >> the secretary of state arrived a couple of hours ago. the north korean foreign ministry greeted him with a much different assessment of the two-day meeting than he had offered in pyongyang. the secretary spoke to reporters at the airport before leaving for pyongyang in which he said they made progress in all of the central issues in the past couple of days and the north korean foreign minister said they'd come to north korea with robber-like proposals of relieving north korea of the nuclear weapons and they were regrettable. >> that the trust that they built during the singapore summit will deepen as talks progress. on that front, secretary pompeo offered a similar perspective. >> kim is still committed. i had a chance to talk to president trump this morning. my counterpart spoke with chairman kim during the course of our negotiations as well. we had productive, good-faith negotiations. >> in that conversation, pompeo refused to com

north koreans didn't give up anything. there was no -- countries do treaties, they don't do contracts. in business you do contracts. and so there's a lot to be left hanging here with north korea. i think at some point or other, the president is going to have to accept his blame for that. >> so, everybody is sticking around if you can. up next, president trump is facing what "the new york times" calls a moment of truth heading to that meeting with nato allies, followed by as we just noted, a summit with vladimir putin, all alone. that's how he wants it, nobody but translators in the room. burning, of diabetic nerve pain these feet... ... made waves in high school... ...and built a career in construction. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, ras

korean capital just south of the state left the country north korea lashed out at washington describing the talks it's extremely regrettable also accuse the u.s. a pressuring them to abandon their nuclear program but as far as pumpin is concerned the discussions are a success. we've made progress on almost all of the central issues some places a great deal of progress other places there's still more work to be done we talked about what the north koreans are continuing to do and how it's the case we can get our arms around achieving what chairman kim and president from both agreed to which was the complete denuclearization of north korea there's no no one walked away from that there still it would committee chairman kim is documented well how did you castro's in washington d.c. forests and heidi the u.s. and north korea at all and how the descriptions of how the meeting went. that's right it certainly is of concern when you have two parties of a negotiation that are describing their experiences of the same event in such opposing terms the u.s. with my pump aoe saying that these talks wer

supposed to meet the north koreans yesterday. they arrived for the meeting, about returning remains the u.s. servicemen killed in the korean war and the north koreans didn't front. around midday, the u.s. got word that the north koreans wanted to meet on sunday. the u.s. has agreed to that. but it's another blow to the credibility of this whole denuclearization process, michelle. as you're reporting, sources telling you that it couldn't have gone worse at pyongyang when mike pompeo met kim jong-un. it's just been repeated all over the place with the actions of the north koreans. and now we're getting word that the u.s. is moving at the united nations to tell u.n. members to stop supplying any more fuel to north korea, because they have been sanctions busting. they have evidence, they say, that north korea has been taking on petroleum products, fuel-related products, that they passed their annual supply target -- limit, so the u.s. is trying to persuade the u.n. to tell china and russia to stop now supplying more fuel to the north

secretary of state even though he has said that he expects to be meeting with north korean officials in the weeks ahead of efforts to try to move this plan to denuclearize north korea of course this also comes at a time when the acting assistant secretary of state for east asia ferret's susan thorton has announced her resignation even though she was on tap to become the permanent on voice for east asia in the trumpet ministration it's being read as perhaps another criticism of the trumpet ministrations foreign policy but she is not speaking publicly about her decision to retire now from the foreign service and then we'll see i've been reports in recent days in which costs down on north korea is willingness to denuclearize what has the president and sang. well the president was asked this question while being interviewed on fox news in the past couple of days and what was said in the sunday broadcast was that he believes that the north koreans are serious he said that he had good chemistry with kim jong il and however his national security advisor john bolton told c.b.s. news also on

i spoke with a north korean official who says the north koreans believe they have done enough. they have not conducted nuclear tests and they say they destroyed the nuclear test site. i went there. i don't know if the site was destroy destroyed. there were no experts to confirm. now the north koreans want things from the united states that the u.s. may not be prepared to give. sanctions relief. a peace treaty. they believe it would guarantee the survival and safety of kim jong-un's government. the peace treaty, if they don't get it, they may walkway from the negotiations. although things are slow, potentially falling apart with the united states, things are going well right now as north korea reaffirms with allies like china and russia. >> will ripley live in hong kong. thank you. >>> president trump is now ended up where he started a week ago. he is back to questioning whether russia interfered in the u.s. elections. he spent much of the last week trying to convince everyone he believed the intel as he stood alongside vladimir putin in helsinki and questioned the intelligence

so it's really important for the secretary to get full disclosure from the north koreans. they need to come to the table and say here's the weapons we have, here's the facilities and here's the facilities that are secret that we've lied about. full disclosure. sort of that, i don't think we should release any sanctions and michael is right, that we should keep up the pressure. >> david, you think we'll see any of that from this meeting with secretary pompeo? >> sure. but it's important to keep historical perspective. some of the president's critics on north korea have less. i'm older than all of you. i can prove it. but the fact is i can remember when ronald reagan was doing his dance with gorbachev. it took a long time. it's so many years later. people think it happened overnight. it took months and months. this was one meeting between the president and the north korean leader that by the way i wouldn't trust as far i could throw him. i couldn't throw him that far. >> he's a big guy. >> a big guy. >> he's healthy. >> the other thing that mike pompeo and john bolton are th

north koreans will set this up so that every tiny step like that is a huge achievement. and then you're so grateful you get that, but what you lose sight of is the fact that you were supposed to be given that. but you have to fight for it every step of the way. >> yes, right. >> so it's his lack of good faith that at some point president trump will have to square up to, and he hasn't so far. >> and, again, the words out of secretary of state pompeo's mouth a few hours ago, quote, they, meaning north korea -- they intend to denuclearize. they are going to accomplish it now. and the task is to get it implemented. and then they don't show up. thank you both, nic robertson, admiral john kirby. >>> still to come, we head back to washington. a contentious hearing on capitol hill is just getting under way with the fbi agent, peter strzok, who sent those anti trump text messages during the campaign. we'll take you live there. stay with me. almost $800 when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey! oh, t
