will there be a nuclear free north korea kim jong un says his faith in the u.s. president remains unshaken donald trump responds with get it done together can the denuclearization deadlock be broken this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. a nuclear free korean peninsula before donald trump's first in twenty twenty one that's the latest mess has just south korean diplomats from north korea's leader kim jong un's also hinting at an official and to the korean war and agreeing to a third summit with south korea's president later this month rob mcbride has more from seoul. news that this into korean summit will take place had been expected nonetheless confirmation of it has come as something of a relief given the state of stored relations between pyongyang and washington south korea's security chief. has been briefing the blue house the presidential office here in seoul and also the media the event will take place in pyongyang between the eighteenth and the twentieth of september as also reported that north korea remains very much committed to the whol

and north korea, north korea says they can live with u.s. troops in south korea. but how do you know? in what context did they say? they might've said it's useless to talk about withdrawal at that time. so instead of arguing that they couldn't achieve, they might have decided to show they are flexible, making a concession of tolerating a u.s. presence. but now i don't know. i don't know if they can live with u.s. troops when they decide to denuclearize. i doubt it. mr. stangarone: i'm going to bundle some questions because we are short on time. we will start with mark. >> thank you to you all for a great resin tatian. two quick questions. the first on the joint statement between the militaries that was theed to separately from statement. when i rated it seems like all of the concessions were coming from the south korean side, ambassador you referenced some of them. can you see anything the north koreans gave up that's useful? and secondly, it is clear that for the two koreas to move forward on the economic cooperation projects and others that they have, they need

there is no calling in north korea. they were hungry and desperate and scared to not conflict the that don't even whisper. the most important thing was the family to me that thinking back to my childhood -- [inaudible] >> your sister, your mother, your father today. >> host: and where did he die? >> guest: in china. my mother in south korea in the countryside and she is in south korea. i'm an american -- [inaudible] >> now, i'm not. >> host: are you going to go for your citizenship? >> guest: of course. if this country without me, i'd be honored. >> host: yeonmi park, what year did you cross that river? >> guest: it was 2007, march 31st. >> host: how old were you? >> guest: 13. >> host: you were in the hospital. my mother made a bad bet that because we had no money to bribe them, my mother had to do everything from keeping my incision clean to giving me whatever food she could find. the hospital is poorly equipped and filthy. to use the bathroom i had to get up and cross an open courtyard. but first i was too weak to st

backed sanctions against north korea. this is about half an hour. >> good morning, the meeting is called to order. the provisional agenda is nonpe -- nonproliferation, democratic people's republic of korea. in accordance with rule 37 of the councils provisional rules procedure, i invite the representatives of japan and the republic of korea to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. in accordance with rule 39 of the councils provisional rules , i invite miss rosemary carlow to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. the security council will now begin item two of the agenda. i now give the floor to miss rosemary decarlo. rosemary: thank you. there have been several new developments of the democratic people's republic of korea. on april 20, the dprk announced immediate halt of certain longer-range ballistic missiles. on may 24, the dprk reportedly dismantled its nuclear test site. the dprk also reportedly dismantled missile related .nfrastructure international experts woulere not invited to witness any of the

and very sensitive talks with north korea are ongoing. has set uspim summit on a path of complete denuclearization but we're not there yet and until we get there, we must not ease the powerful worldwide sanctions that are in place. it is important to note that like the rest of the security council, russia voted in favor of all of the sanctions i just described. this, and despite not having yet come close to the achievement of denuclearization, russia is now asking to ease the sanctions. thisa originally requested meeting for the purpose of criticizing the united states for blocking rail projects it wants to pursue with north korea. asking the on security council to begin to remove sanctions on north korea so it can pursue a project for its own economic benefit. the question one should ask is why. sanctions voting for 11 different times, is russian out tacking away from them? we know the answer. it's because russia has been cheating. and now, they have been caught. despite its repeated support for you and sanctions, russia is actively work

and extending the economic relations with north korea. i can tell you there is nothing to lose for us when we put our trust in north korea. the measures that north korea will be taking will be the permanent dismantlement of nuclear bases and if they are existing and nuclear arsenal. these are all irreversible measures. the measures that the u.s. will be taking is the suspension of joint military exercises, which can be resumed at any time. if north korea goes back on its promise, we can put these sanctions on again. the united states has nothing to lose. >> brett: did you imagine seeing one korea in your lifetime? >> it is hard to predict when that can be achieve. we cannot plan for this kind of thing. if we establish complete peace, we can see that. i'm hopeful that i will see it in my lifetime. >> brett: do you want to see u.s. troops leave sooner than later? >> i would say no. i could tell you that the u.s. and korea is beneficial for the deter rent for north korea and upholding peace and stability in the northeast asian region as a wh

call it north korea. in my memory everything is great, that's how my childhood was when i was starving and hungry and desperate and scared that even the birds and mice can hear me, that's one thing my mother taught me that even the birds can hear me. but despite that, i think the most important thing was a family to me, that taking back to my childhood, i was lost and i was terrorist in myhousehold . >> where is your family, your sister, your mother, your father today ? >> my father died from the cancer he got in north korea. >> where did he die? >> in china. in 2008. and my mother in south korea in the countryside. and i got reunited with my older sister who we were separated for seven years and she's in south korea, studying university now. and i am in america. >> are you a citizen? >> i'm not, i'm a permanent resident. >> are you going to go for your citizenship? >> of course. if this country will let me have the honor. >> yeonmi park, what year did you cross the river into changbai? >> it was march 31

the regular meetings of the families in south and north korea which are south and north korea are going to work closely to co-host some olympic games. and we are going to prepare for the centennial of three one independence day work. and through our course we are going to have a performance between the two koreas to celebrate autumn i also chairman came to visit seoul and chairman kim a promise to come to a so in near future which means within this here. if there is no big issues. chiming kim is going to be the first north korean leader who visit south korea and it is going to. a new milestone in into career relations to north koreans my fellow south koreans and koreans abroad chairman. showed his roadmap for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and he agreed that we should make korean peninsula free of free of nuclear weapons and nuclear programs and i'd like to thank for their he's determination and commitment to this send you. into korean relations ought to be continued probable based on this result of the pending meeting i sincerely hope that north korea and the u.s. can res

and we promise things that north korea --of of nuclearization, -- denuclearization, and north korea loses incentives. so we need to create an insurance policy against a return of what they consider to be a military option. so they feel that pressure to move forward now. the approach is between the two presidents are fundamentally different. i think for now, the current negotiator, i have great sympathy for him. because it's so difficult, compared to me coordinating with the u.s. and now the blue house, the national security adviser, in thell the shots decision process for denuclearization. i don't know whether the foreign ministry is properly influenced when decisions are made on negotiating strategies. i cannot compare to my own experience. i don't know how relevant it would be for current negotiators. advantage ofe being able to record my north korean counterpart, who was still there. when i first met him, he said he had been vice foreign minister for 17 years. he is now 29 years in. rapport,od personal and we were able to smooth communications between north korea and other partners. wh

for the people it's a horrible situation it's nothing to celebrate seventy years of north korea north korea is in an area where every country around them has really developed and they haven't although they have all the chances and we hope that we'll see some development there ben had botched an expert on china north korea from the battles and foundation thanks for your insights thank you history was made in the u.s. open final as niamey osaka became the first japanese athlete to win a grand slam title the twenty year old defeated idol serena williams in straight sets but a controversial outburst from williams threatened to overshadow what should have been a night of celebration serena williams was three one up in the second set in new york when things began to unravel having been handed a violation for receiving instructions from her coach williams was docked a point for smushing her racket as she threw away the chance to go for one up. the american already a set down blasted the umpire calling him a fifth and a liar and was promptly hit with a game penalty she won only one more game

you are having a lot of talks with north korea. you are not seeing what you need to in terms of denuclearization. how long do you leave the door open before we decide this is not working? >> you have to remember this is a process that will move forward. to set a date certain would be foolish. make no mistake about it. the conversations we are having are important. they are putting the opportunity to complete the denuclearization in place. we will continue it at every level to have those conversations. some of them, you will be aware of. some you will not know are taking place. .here's lots going on these are the u.n. security council resolutions that demanded north korea give up its nuclear weapons program, and even more broadly, its nuclear capability. those are not united states demands. those are the united nations demands. we are working to implement them and help chairman kim get to the right place to on a promise he made in singapore. >> do you think he will go through with this? >> yes. >> president trump said earlier today

last year, the main topic was north korea. he's certain to address north korea again here, but he's going to talk about iran. he pulled the u.s. out of the agreement. he's going to talk about china. he has instituted a policy of very harsh sanctions against china, rather tariffs against china, which he's going to stay i'm going to stick with it. how is that going to be received by this body here? >> i think the body is going to be listening for another country in president trump's speech. that's actually russia. we're focused on iran right now, but let's remember, russia has violated u.n. resolutions. russia used chemical weapons in the united kingdom which is exactly why there have been international condemnations. the u.s. is sanctioning russia because of that, and we know that the president doesn't really like to push russia around on a public stage. so i think the body will be waiting to hear if russia makes a speech or not, and also, whether there's any kind of consistency between what the president says about north korea

and north korea they're looking for one thing each of us wants north korea to come out and make some kind of sincere concrete gesture toward denuclearization and north korea wants to us to join in on this declaration to end the korean war but unfortunately the ball is now in north korea for and responsibility is to bring back some kind of concrete detail commitment commitment from north korea as to how they're going to proceed with this new nuclear reservation and here is coming down the steps now with his wife to be greeted by kim jong il and. what will be going through kim jong un's mind at this time following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather all doing better than him and having these meetings with his opposite number from the south well there have been questions as to whether kim jong un is really different from his predecessors but i think at this point it's safe to say that. one's some kind of change to come to north korea and he has been more serious about this denuclearization process than what we have seen in the past from north korea i'm sure he's also feeling

for the people it's a horrible situation it's nothing to celebrate seventy years of north korea north korea is in an area where every country around them has really developed and they haven't although they have all the chances and we hope that we'll see some development there ben had an expert on china north korea from the battles and foundation thanks for your insights thank you. well some sports news now in the first round of the new way for nations league spain beat england two one in a scrappy encounter at london's wembley stadium marcus rushford opened the scoring for england in the eleventh minute but south equalized to spain just two minutes later and then what did he go next to the winner with hoff and now a plate oscar winning director alfonso caught on film has won the golden lion at the venice film festival the black and white drama has been hailed as his most possible fail and his best netflix really speech twenty other entries to claim the top award. the coveted golden lion in the hands of other funds oku are on the director known for hollywood blockbusters including grav

certainly about north korea, as well. when he unlike in the past, we don't have a speech, and we don't have your preview. the remarks before they go public. >> sandra: he walked into the united nations a short time ago with his team at his side, including the ambassador nikki haley as well as the first lady, melania trump. advisor of uncle tom, his daughter, with him. also tiffany trump, one of his daughters as well. as he entered the room, we were all noting -- we saw a couple other world leaders go ahead and the speeches. he's expected to have some strong words directed toward iran. >> bill: leading into that conversation, his speech, rather -- the message that iran has to change its tune. give a lot of leadership, all over the world, that is not happy with the president's decision to get out of the iran nuclear deal. this demonstration has not changed, double down on sanctions and ugly or november also have a message of the middle east and what's happening in iran. out of tel aviv, all of this stuff headed up -- all th

nations and for the wellbeing of their own people then the depraved regime in north korea no north korea hasn't undergone any regime change surgery chairman kim is still in his chair but miraculously little rocket man is now an awesome guy rocket man shooting rockets all over the place and with me he's not get nowhere with it he will truly regret it five years. the likes of which nobody has seen before totally destroy north korea rocket men mad men is on a suicide mission for himself that he did it to state that while today kim jong un is the president's most admired pen pal i'm sure you've heard about the beautiful letter so i've received two letters from him much personal correspondence magnificent very strong letter form incredible letters letters page one i showed one of the letters just to prime minister he said this is actually a groundbreaking letter like any other president donald trump would love to be remembered as a global peace meet it took him a year and a half from his inauguration to zero in on his desired legacy a true br. through in the korean crisis barak obama was havi

they say look what north korea is doing. the two situations are completely different as the president of iran said to me. north korea has nuclear weapons and iran doesn't. north korea has nuclear weapons capable intercontinental ballistic missile s, the other doesn't. now the united states has chosen to pull out and is making all of these hell to pay -- hell to pay for what exactly? in the iranians view they have kept to the terms of the agreement. so this is what president rouhani told me particularly about the other issues which are legitimate issues for the world to want to talk about. they say we will not be able to talk about that until we get back on track on the nuclear deal. >> translator: you see, after many years of negotiations and dialogue a consensus was reached, an agreement was reached between the seven countries and it was agreed upon by the leadership of those seven countries involved subsequent to which in the united nations security council it was approved over resolution. no one has the right to unilatera

for north korea. is surely to continue its denuclearization process like was on decommissioning very. young facility for the first step. on a site which is to be permanently commissioned and the inspection of the outside experts. from north korea. used permanent. destruction which means very fired known and irreversible nuclearization. chairman came also charts adjusted. of the secretary pump a are too young workers and he also wanted to have the second round of the summit meeting with president trying to. juggle. with this cussed at the not watchin. if you got it in detail to a cheerfully denuclearization which it was a huge change from the past. up till now north korea refused to discuss any measures or the nuclearization with south korea because it insisted it wasn't a matter of fact better that should be discussed with the us. but you get in the north korea now understands and agrees that the korean relations is really important. wondered on. the dialogue with the u.s. and north also asked our hel

north korea talks with d.d. we will try hard to build a new peaceful relationship between the us north korea and regimes and see talks immediately so that north korea can move forward with denuclearization and corresponding measures from the us can be used the u.s. has ordered the palestinian mission in washington to close staff bank accounts and clear its offices the trumpet ministration has announced the closure of the palestine liberation organization office in the u.s. capital last week if the sixty migrants have been rescued off the coast of spain. a spanish maritime rescue ship spotted an overloaded raft with people waving and screaming for help and official say everyone on board the vessel was rescued on saturday. u.s. president controversial nominee to the supreme court brian cavanagh is now facing allegations of sexual assault a woman the wars has approached the washington post newspaper saying she was assaulted by him when she was in high school and members of the senate judiciary committee that are su

but on this occasion a key piece of north korea's hardware was missing. of course, there was the usual fervour from kim jong—un‘s foot soldiers. but the most advanced ballistic missiles were kept out of sight. it seems kimjong—un has decided not to provoke the united states at this sensitive time. instead, he took the hand of china's envoy, showing the world he has powerful friends. the bbc was not invited to pyongyang, but we did speak to north korean defectors who took part in past events. translation: it really was a painful experience. the people suffered. this was just days and days of pain and suffering. it can take up to six months to prepare, ten hours of rehearsals a day with very little food. the goose—stepping in particular is difficult to master, especially while turning your head towards the dear leader. translation: you have to lift up the back leg at the same time your front leg hits the ground. this is very difficult. if you do this for six months, you can lose over five kilograms. complaining is not an option. translation: absolut

-north korea talks are more publicly becoming clear, that we aren't getting anywhere and north korea released another grumpy message last night, sort of, no, no, what don't you get about know? that abe may feel like he does not need to put as much effort into getting this summit. otherwise it looks like he was being left out. >> thank you for coming. this is a really great conversation. i am a member of the heritage foundation. i am a japan native, u.s. citizen. i have been here about 45 years, so i have limited information coming into me personally. what i want to talk about is the security treaty, as you mentioned, saved japan. but, that put japan into the backseat, not the front seat. of course, the u.s. is sitting in the drivers seat. but, the trouble is, i feel that japan was complacent being in the backseat. that really saddens me. it's a two-way street and america did not urge japan to come up here to the front seat, the passenger seat. they didn't do that either. it is a two-way street. my question is, instead of concentrating on economics so much, japan should have been conc

a negative is each concerning north korea nuclear. weapons they're interesting i actually think in his speech was his mentioning mentioning china when he won china against interfering in the midterm elections that's was. no surprise a lot of people because i seem to be outside of the. city i mean that's was really interesting when he said that he believes that china is slowing i should intervene in the mid-term elections because they don't want him to win the elections because he's the only u.s. president actually who started this sort of trade war with the chinese so that was a little bit of a. statement by the u.s. president it was also interesting when he when he thanked russia iran and syria for the. i thinking at that i mean that was also something that when we really want that. just just hold that thought for a moment my one because we're just going to play a clip now of president trump talking about syria and iran here it isn't the syrian regime's butchery is enabled by russia and iran the iranian regime exports violence terror

among the topics, north korea, syria, iran. you can bet the president will have well deserved strong words for the iranian regime. they are among the worst violators of un security council resolution. if not the absolute worst in the world. he will call on every country to join our pressure campaign to thwart the torrent of destructive activity. whether it is venezuela, south sudan, burma, china, we estimated 25 million victims of modern slavery around the world can also count on america's support. today is shaping up as a great first day. lots more work to come this week. president trump and our entire diplomatic corps look forward to the days ahead when we achieve shared victories for all. ambassador haley? >> good morning. we got a great start today with the president event on counter narcotics. really to understand this event is to understand the fact that it was not just a bunch of people getting into a room, every country that attended had to sign a global call to action, which basically said that they were going to imple

/north korea summit. do you think that given what has happened so is far that we rare pretty much on that road, and that you are going to be getting ambassador chung in on this real quick. >> i don't see a problem with secretary pompeii can owe's statement which tries to put a look at the development. and so whatever pompeo feels in his heart, i think that the right response would be to are respond positively for that, even if it is not clear, but to give it is a chance, and engage north korea in a more intense negotiation, serious negotiation. so i think that, you know, regardless of my pessimism, i think that secretary pompeo took the right approach in responding to the summit outcome. second from et, i think it is very important to hold a well prepared summit, because an ill-prepared summit can sometimes create more problems than solve them. as in singapore, it takes more time to agree on what was agreed in singapore than to prepare for successful summit. that would occur if you agree on the princeiple

of north korea meeting has taken place progress is being made and that that optimism should be the way this issue is being approached that a lot of progress is being made in the situation is moving ahead so quite an interesting meeting we've heard those allegations against russia from the united states and then we also heard the representative of russia responding and distracting those allegations. ok experience of brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition good to have you on bryant we've heard the claims from nikki haley against russia violating sanctions against north korea and how much you know about this but you know what's your opinion on this do you think there's any credence to what they're saying. still bad nikki haley didn't live in say fourteen ninety two she could've campaigned for the position of the grand inquisitor and during the spanish inquisition because that's how she conducts american diplomacy at the united nations pillory in russia for not sanctioning north korea at the same time the united states that will matic representatives always are our chastising the e

korea more difficult because north korea points to policy inconsistency by the united states as a factor that would make north korea wants to hold on to its nuclear weapons in other words if they are able to reduce tensions with trump it's hard to say whether that would stick with a new leader in the united states and it is interesting if you know if you take that thinking even further mr snyder it would mean that having a u.s. president trump see a second term in office could be the best prospects for actually realizing the goal of denuclearizing north korea you agree. it's it's plausible to magine that based on the experience so far that kim jong un could be one of president trump's biggest cheerleaders but let's see how the process unfolds you know this rough or a small it was only last year that we're talking fire and fury we saw the singapore summit and the appearance of empty promises now things may be back on track but i think we've got a lot more ups and downs to go. scott snyder with the council on foreign relations joining us tonight from washington d.c. mr snyder we appreciate

we see it again when it comes to the approach to north korea. despite the president proudly boasting success after the june summit, there's been no progress on denuclearization. in fact it now seems the so-called success has turned into a failure. we need to think about how sanctions play into our broader strategy if we have one. what are we doing to exert pressure on our international partners to keep up multi lateral sanctions enforcement. do we have any reason to believe that sanctions will be enough to convince kim to give up nuclear weapons without a broader diplomatic strategy to provide him a compelling reason to do so. what are we doing outside of sanctions to build trust and reassure the north koreans that we are committed to peace? these are important questions obviously that needs to be considered. there is one glaring exception to the rule and that's the one in which the trump administration has been remarkably restrained in its use of sanctions and that's russia. to be fair, the administration has imposed new sanctions against the r

., north korea summit. they were also asked about rod -- deputy attorney general general -- deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. this is 20 minutes. >> good morning, everyone. it is an honor to be here for the 73rd united nations general secretary pompeo: good morning, everyone. it is an honor to be here for the 73rd united nations general assembly. my first as secretary of state. kind of the super bowl of diplomacy. americans can be proud of the deal we are negotiating. americans expect the united states to serve bold leadership on the world stage that reflects our values and under president trump, we are leading from the front. this was clear from the first meeting which we issued a call for the global drug problem. the scourge of drug problems, and substance abuses is intensifying on a global scale. within the united states, president trump is leading a massive and effective counterattack against it. it is now time for every country to follow our lead. to follow our lead. later today, the president wi

states change their position then their policy toward north korea probably the they can use a similar approach to iran and the things will go better yeah who knows what kind of twists and turns another year will bring about. new york i will ask former u.s. diplomat jim johnson what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks. i have noticed that mr lover of tends to be very diplomatic very polite very gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice a certain level of impatience today that he i think his patience has been tried one time too many yes we are talking about whether or not we will have we will continue down this road of the united states seeking. in a very sterile way and destructive way to hold on to this notion of global hegemony or whether there will be a peaceful and national natural transition to a more more multi-polar world so far we don't see the people making policy in washington willing to make that transition and i think that is something extremely dangerous and i think maybe that partly accounts for mr lover of sense of impatience well as we heard fro

we're looking at north korea at table talking. attaining that, whether it's been the movement of the embassy in jerusalem or if you look at syria and the progress that's starting to be made there. think there's just a lot of success stories. in, w weotecti erica. how we're focused on our sovereignty. we're looking at aid. this will be a big part of it. we're looking at aid. we're not going to give money to countries that say they hate america or work against us. we'll start taking care of the countries that have the same values as us. >> you say there's been no discussion of the 25th amendment inside the cabinet. the reports we saw in bob woodward's book, "fear," seem to indicate a fractious relationship between the president and his national security team. even to suggest that he has no respect for many members of that team. how do you respond to that? >> i'm there once a week. i don't see it. i'm telling you. and the other thing is when you've got people that won't go on the record and say it, you have to question whether it's t

will there be a nuclear free north korea kim jong un says his faith in the u.s. president will maintain unshaken donald trump responds well we'll get it done together can the denuclearization deadlock be broken this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. a nuclear free korean peninsula before donald trump's first term as in twenty twenty one that's the latest messages just south korean diplomats from north korea's leader kim jong un's also hinting at an official and to the korean war and agreeing to a third summit with south korea's president later this month rob mcbride has more from seoul. news that this into korean summit will take place had been expected nonetheless confirmation of it has come as something of a relief given the state of stored relations between pyongyang and washington south korea's security chief. has been briefing the blue house the presidential office here in seoul and also the media the event will take place in pyongyang between the eighteenth and the twentieth of september as also reported that north korea remains very much c

north korea and moon j.n. pretty much straight away those sessions of course will be the most important of this summit they will give us hopefully some indication of moving forward on into korean relations but also possibly giving us some kind of breakthrough when it comes to the stalled talks between north korea and the united states on getting rid of north korea's nuclear arsenal we as you mentioned we are also we're seeing these pictures live in south korea as a first viewers in north korea are apparently seeing these pictures live as part of the preparations for this summit a logistics team of some ninety officials from south korea traveled north to help set things up for this event including five satellite trucks satellite trucks from of korean broadcasters are working with their colleagues to bring these pictures to us here in south korea and also to north korea where this point let me bring in a commentator who has been following all of these events for the past year or so the third summit what about th

those within north korea can revert. thank you for your approach, we are in the process of solving a problem that no one has been able to solve in the decades past. i would like to thank you for this, mr. president. chairman kim also repeatedly conveyed his unwavering trust and expectations for you while expecting hope to meet you soon to quickly conclude this denuclearization process with you. because you are, indeed, the only person who can solve this problem. i look forward to seeing the u.s. north korea summit take place and wish you great success. [inaudible] agreement between our three countries, i believe it is significant because it means that our alliance is being expanded to the economic realm as well. and i am very pleased that we have revised this agreement. freer and fairer and more beneficially agreement. through this agreement i hope that the financial economic ties will be promoted even further. thank you. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. we will be having a second summit with chairman kim in

korea the achievements of north korea and i've been able to see for myself and feel deeply about the kind of future that north korean people want to have and i had the opportunity to see the desperation and feel the urge of the north korean people to build their future i've seen the courage i've seen their determination my fellow koreans korean people are great we are strong people we love peace and we have to live together. pakistan's former prime minister now as sharif has been freed from prison on bail islam about high court ordered shareef his daughter and son in law to be released until their appeal against a corruption conviction can be heard rule they were deficiencies in the case presented to the court which sentence them to jail in july. u.s. president donald trump is defending his controversial supremes court nominee who's been accused of sexual assault trump says brett kavanaugh a is an outstanding man and that it would be unfortunate if his accuser christine daisy ford didn't testify before a senate committee ford's lawyers say she won't appear before senators unless the

north korea also began dismantling a missile engine test stand. fornt of mechanisms underground verification by inspectors, we cannot confirm north korea has taken any other denuclearization steps at this time. tos north korean commitment do nuclear rise presents a -- de earize presents a huge and critical challenge to our intelligence community. complete analysis is essential to achieve our long-standing goals. my comments cover only a portion of the issues we are being asked to monitor announced the globe -- around the globe. we have seen another volatile fighting season in afghanistan. we observed growing tension between israel and its neighbors. we witness the extraordinary humanitarian costs of conflicts as men, women, and children attempt to flee violence in burma, syria, lebanon, and venezuela. i want to identify for challenges we believe we will -- will require more activity and intelligence community attention. the first challenge is the growing demand for economic intelligence. analysts are being asked to provide assessments on the impac

he has an auntie based in north korea. he knows what this means, divided families, so when it comes to trying to arrange things between the two careers, he is pushing forward. if north korea has agreed to this, it's something he can take to the united states and say, look, we want this peace treaty, you want some kind of concrete evidence that he is willing to disarm, this is what i got to sign. it's something to users on average with the united states. how big and it is this? , where i keep saying yes. we've seen a lot of talk so saying yes. we've seen a lot of talk so farand saying yes. we've seen a lot of talk so far and we've yet to see concrete action from north korea. things have happened incredibly quickly. there is no doubt the number of summits with hand, the number of agreements that have been signed in such a short space of time, and even the leaders of both countries have said, we are going to take our own time at this. when we see a timeline, that's when people will start to say, patsy is serious, at least wit

and north korea and north korea the united states are very far apart ideologically and politically right i mean one is an orwellian tyranny in that both the other two are democracies and that's ultimately really the problem here right moon can narrow the differences somewhat but unless north korea changes unless north korea liberalizes a little bit it's going to be hard to have a sustained interact the relationship between the two can be more peaceful but for any kind of serious relationship to build north korea is going to have to be a less you know horrific place it's going to have to be gentler to its people and less dangerous to the world but doesn't but doesn't the fact that kim jong un has agreed to go along with this level of engagement which is being historic has in it starting off with the first summit with president moon then seeing president trump isn't that an indication of his willingness to engage with the international community on a different level even if that does entail making dramatic changes at home. yeah i do i think that kim jong un is different than his father i g

is it a good thing that north korea didn't advertise any new icbms. probably. they didn't fire off any missiles which they frequently do. at the same time there's been a lot of concerns by analysts who think that kim jong-un feels that with that sixth nuclear test that he has achieved a nuclear security and he now sees himself as a nuclear world power and he's moving on to sort of the next line -- the next point of his diplomacy in economic development and he doesn't feel the need to make these displays anymore. who knows what the truth is. it's not necessarily a big win as president trump has been saying. >> sue, does it sound like the kim you have known and studied over here that he would invite trump to another summit right at this point where we and others in the civilized world are reporting their capability of making -- that they are actively making new weapons? >> absolutely, this is kim's play. i absolutely believe he wants to meet with president trump again. i think he thinks there is an opportunity here for president trump to give him what he wants, a
