i doubt that people genuinely have the kd of feeling towards kim jong un as they did for kim jong il. (translated): we would say, how can this boy who's still wet behind the ears be in power? but the north korean government spread these rumors that althe was young, he was very wise. tht's what the government k saying. narrator: jiro's undercovell footage shows peoplever the country being forced to prove their dedication to the new leader, but some resenting having to it. these soldiers were ordered to build a railroad from kim jong un's birthplace to pyongyang to mark him coming to power. narrator: the undercover footage even sho a local official criticizing k jong un's successio narrator: to compensate for his lack of experience, the regime made parallels with his grandfather kim il sung, who is still wi worshipped and is officially eternal president of north korea. there are all kinds of rumors that kim jong un even had cosmetic surgery to look like his grandfather. but certainly his style seems to be more like kim il sung as well. trying to be a reincarnation of his grandfather is

they we re the top aides of kim jong—un. they were discussing denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, which president trump and kim jong il and met last month and discussed that. after mike pompeo left, there was strong criticism of the us, saying america was making too many demands and that america had displayed a reg retta ble and that america had displayed a regrettable attitude. what the north koreans said is that the trust between the two countries was facing a dangerous situation. mike pompeo, after leaving north korea, went to japan and tokyo, and in the last half—hour, there was a press conference which he held with the korean foreign minister and also the japanese foreign minister. they are all in agreement about what denuclearisation means. they have some agreement there and might pompeo said that denuclearisation is going to happen and that he was there and that he feels that the north korean by what it expected of them. the of disputing what the north koreans were saying. that is all the time for now. and giv

the winner has been kim jong un. over. e again, games not far, certainly kim jong un has made main scores. for example, in a meeting with a u.s. president, that's a big deal for the korean leader. not only kim jong un, but his grandfather and father wanted to meet with u.s. presidents, but that never happened until this time. and kim jong un was able to .reate an image of a leader he brought his wife to attend a bank quiet. that is great for north korean leaders. so certainly wanting to promote a certain image to the international community. d he was able to restore a strained relationship with china and south korea. until this in march, kim jong un never visited china or met with president ki. but since march, he met three times. and so a lot of tensions between those in south korea are creating a relationship -- [indiscernible] > and even though we haven't lifted sanctions but to say international sanctions have been quite easy for -- [indiscernible] >> and it is much more difficult for the united states to get cooperati

mike pompeo seems to have a good rapport with kim jong-un. just saying that sentence alone is astonishing considering where the u.s. and north korea were when we seemed as if we were on the brink of war, now they'll have banquets together in pyongyang so they're slowly building trust and trust is slowly earned but there are still a lot of walls up on both sides that need to be broken down and the americans will be going in with big asks. secretary mike pompeo is about to ask for full transparency about north korea's nuclear program. are there facilities the world doesn't know about? will the inspectors be allowed in and then an aggressive timeline for dismantlement. but you've heard the state department saying they're not talking about a timeline which indicates they know it will be a long haul. and the north koreans said in singapore they would return the remains of u.s. service members killed in the korean war. officials have been on standby. they sent in kas pets to accept the remains and it hasn't happene happened. >> all right, will ripl

the report says that kim jong-un said he never heard the song. if you remember, it was last year when the president was calling kim jong-un "little rocketman" as he was launching ballistic missiles over japan and other provocations. that apparently is a little joke from the administration to kim jong-un. reporters that were traveling with the secretary asked him if that was true. the secretary would only laugh that one off. it also goes to show how far the personal relationship between the president, what he's been saying about kim jong-un has changed dramatically in the past year. the president continually is bringing up how north korea and kim jong-un have not for months tested nuclear weapons, have no longer fired ballistic missiles. it was on january 1 when kim jong-un announced that his country had completed its nuclear program, it wanted to focus on their commit and that began the outreach to south korea and to the united states. but there is still skepticism as to whether or not this charm offensive is genuine or a long play by kim jong-un

at a missile site what does this mean for kim jong un's commitment to denuclearize the korean finance we'll get reaction from washington also. this city the islamic state . in northern iraq was liberated three years ago but only a fraction of the minority who once lived there. will have an exclusive report and a smartphone ban at schools in france kids are outraged parents are happy but the teachers worry it will be tough to enforce. golf it's good to have you with us tonight reports that north korea has not stopped working to build new ballistic missiles that could carry a nuclear weapon the washington post says that u.s. spy satellites have detected renewed activity at a site that has produced them in the past well this puts into doubt the promise made by north korean leader kim jong at a summit in singapore just last month he reportedly told u.s. president donald trump that he would end all missile and nuclear testing we'll get reaction from washington in just a moment but first this report. on the surface relations between the u.s. and north korea have been warming earlier this we

mike pompeo did not meet kim jong-un. in fact, kim jong-un was traveling in the northeast of the country looking at potato farms and factories. since then, the optics look bad. north koreans were a no-show at a meeting which was supposed to take place yesterday at the demilitarized zone with the americans about the return of the remains of u.s. service members who died in the korean war. this is politically important. it is delicate. donald trump has said that some of the remains have already been brought home from north korea. that is not true. there was a signing between trump and kim jong-un about expediting the return of those remains which is not happening at the moment. that meeting which is supposed to take place yesterday has now been rescheduled for sunday afternoon. on top of all this, we have the u.s. pushing at the united nations security council with new evidence that shows north korea is sanctions busting on the import of petroleum products. saying the north koreans have gone way beyondlocated target f0 barr

all of that between president trump and kim jong-un. haks s halie jackson is at the white house for us. president trump declared on twitter that there is no threats from the north, sleep well tonight. what's going on tonight? >> reporter: the total response coming out formally from the president from white house officials here. the president basically is saying hey, that handshake says it all. they stood there and agreed to denuclearize, get rid of the nukes. that's what the expectation is from this white house. you heard secretary pompeo of the confrontation. he's helicoptericontinuing his trip when it came to the talk that she's supposed to be holding. he did not meet with kim jong-un considering that was some of the expectation settings prior to that trip. to the president on ward, it seems, continue on with these talks. there are words that's raising eye brows and questions and that word is contract. there was no contract signed. there was an agreement as you remember. it was a statement that says hey, we'll work on this moving forw

kim jong-un said he had never heard of elton john. the source said trump then told him, well, he is really good. i'm going do get you the song. i'll send it to you. and that trump also asked kim jong-un according to this source did you mind when i called you little rocket man? and we're told that kim jong-un said, no. he did not mind. where does this all leave us? clearly, pompeo did not get any furthering. that they would have liked to have seen, maybe a time line of denukizati denuclearizati denuclearization. >> refused to meet with him on this third visit to pyongyang. michelle, thanks very much. excellent reporting. >>> also breaking right now, president trump arriving a little while ago in belgium for a very important nato summit. as he left the white house and via twitter in the flight across the atlantic, the president complained that nato allies aren't paying their fair share. nato leaders have made it clear they aren't happy about the president's criticism and getting an enthusiastic reception. guess where. in russia. let's g

he is on his way to meet with kim jong-un right now. his third trip to north korea. as one official tells cnn, some experts growing more skeptical the regime is ready to give up its nuclear stockpile. >> will ripley has been to north korea 18 times. he is in beijing this morning for us. evening for him. bring us up to speed. >> reporter: secretary pompeo is on his way to pyongyang. it's a trip he made three times. when he hits the ground, he has a huge task ahead of him. the pressure is on to deliver on the vague promises made in singapore, good vibes between president trump and kim jong-un, because now the credibility of this summit kind of rests on what happens in pyongyang. when the secretary is expected to sit down with the north korean leader kim jong-un. the u.s. will be asking for things that may not be very attractive to the north koreans, not in the short term. they want transparency about their secretive nuclear program. that means a full account of how many warheads north korea has. no hidden warheads. the u.s. wants to know where all of them are and they

both times met kim jong-un. this is the first time since that big summit on june 12th with kim jong-un and president trump. you would have thought they would have met at that stage. so mike pompeo, it has been said privately and on air that pompeo has quite low expectations of whether they can get agreement there. is he being dissed? being called a gangster is not a good start. >> true. >>> conversations that they knew the sexual misconduct 30 years ago and did not report it at ohio state. a former wrestler at the school t , he told about jordan and he had to hear the conversations because he was there. the ohio lawmaker denying the accusations this weekend. >> i nerve sver saw or heard of abuse. if i had been, i would have dealt with it. >> the chairman of the house freedom caucus calling on members to support jordan. the ohio republican expected to return to washington this week to fight the allegations. >>> american soybeam farmers and -- soybean workers and farmers set to lose. the u.s. is combating china's

how do you think kim jong-un is going to respond to that? >> north korea has always defined it as global arms control. they'll go to zero when we go to zero, the rest of the nuclear powers. and also they define the korean peninsula as including things as the strategic bombers on guam. what we need to do is get a much fuller agreement such as we had with arms control treaties. we need to get that from pyongyang with robust verification. >> and john bolton seems to think denuclearization could be done in a year. does that seem realistic to you? >> whether it's one year or 15 years as outside experts call for, what we need is to get them to commit to it. the policy would be a se sequential operations of data declaration, interviews with scientists, some inspections, some challenge inspections. and then destruction. we could be doing a number of things simultaneously. even as we're verifying. they can be moving some nuclear weapons to a destruction facility even as we verify how many is actually in the arsenal. >> as somebody who has been in thi

using harsh rhetoric against them and then sitting down with kim jong-un. critics against former president obama over the same. let's see if they are quiet over the sudden meeting with iranian leaders. iranian parliament said breaking the deal means there is no possibility of talks. >> secretary of state is now the translator. oren, thank you. >>> senate republicans rejecting the president's threat to shutdown the government in september if he doesn't get funding for the border wall. at least for now. >> we will finish up the set of appropriation measures and we will take four steps to the goal of completing the regular appropriations process and funding the government in a timely and orderly manner. >> the president wants to shutdown the government. you know, that is his prerogative. i think it would be a mistake and i don't think it will be necessary. >> even members of the president's own party are learning though shrug off or ignore his sporadic impulses. still the president persists reiterating the shutdown threat on monday. >> after many, many years o

he thinks he has a contract with kim yong june and that kim jong-un will honor it? by the way, this is the same president who's been repeatedly sued by his own contractors for not honoring his contracts. but there was no contract. there was no real agreement in singapore beyond these vague assurances from north korea that they would work towards complete denuclearization at some unspecified point in the future. they've never shown any evidence they're going to give up their nuclear weapons. the only question to my mind now is how long is donald trump going to keep this charade going? how long is he going to keep pretending that there was a serious agreement and that it actually amounts to something? i suspect he will try to keep it alive, at least through the election so he can claim he reached this great deal. it was obvious from day one to every objective observer that there was no deal, that donald trump was being taken to the cleaners. you know, the big question i have now is how will trump react when he's been duped or rather when he's duped himself into thinki

the president answered yes he trusts kim jong-un. the white house press secretary not repeating that today. again, amid the reports that north korea's actually escalating its nuclear program. sarah sanders also not commenting specifically on those reports from u.s. intelligence agencies that there is an escalation, a ramping up of the program going on. so many questions here about that. even as john bolton, national security adviser, saying over the weekend he believes this could be solved in a year. regardless, jim, certainly a different tone from the president essentially saying that peace is on the way in north korea. it didn't sound that today here at the white house. jim? >> so many important questions unanswered, jeff zeleny, thank you. telling remarks of michael cohen. in a rare interview, he said his loyalty lies with family and country first. cnn national correspondent athena jones is working the story for us. increasing speculation michael cohen might flip against the president. what do you know? >> hi, jim. it's surprising

kim jong-un is not fully agreed to denuclearization after the summit with president trump. he agreed to work toward denuclearization. also, we understand from the u.s. official, that washington is not too worried about the liquid fuel icbms for the reason they take so long to put together. that the u.s. intelligence agencies would have advance warning. clearly the challenge at this point according to the u.s. official for the trump administration is to find out exactly what the north koreans have and what is in the program ahead of kim jong-un giving inconvenieventory and potentialg he would give that up. many experts saying they are likely to try to hide some of their facilities. are there secret facilities? will they admit to the arsenal they have here? this is an issue that previous administrations have come up against and now this is an issue for the trauump administration well. dave. >> curious how the president tweets about this in the days ahead. paula, thank you. >>> a white house official now confirming what is plainly obvious. the president's press team is not coo

plus, kim jong-un coming to america? reporting today about a possible second summit with president trump. this time in new york city? even as we have seen new signs that north korea could be expanding its weapons program despite the pledge from pyongyang. there's lots of news. let's get to it. and first today it seemed like the search would take a miracle. it seemed to those carrying it out almost impossible but now an incredible find in thailand. new today, the young soccer team missing for nine days found and safe. but not yet rescued. the operation is not over. just minutes ago from a camera sent into that team, our first look at the 12 boys and the young coach alive in the flooded cave. they're safe, said the british rescuer. brilliant. the boys are between the ages of 11-16. somehow, we don't know how but somehow for nine days they have survived in that wet cave in total darkness. we have no idea what they ate, if anything, whether they had freshwater or drank the filthy flooding water filling the cave, ebbing and f

kim jong-un could be coming to america. axios reporting the leader could have round two of talks with president trump in new york in september. le let's bring back the panel to talk about this. the fact we are learning secretary pompeo will be going to north korea on thursday, what kind of assurances, phil, does he need to come back with that would be seen as credible at this point? >> boy, this is really the hard part. we thought that the summit, the president went to, was the big deal. i think the big deal is two components that the secretary of state talking about. the first is intention. what do the north koreans want to do? are we clear on what we mean by the term denuclearization if you can say it. the second is complicated. bolton national security adviser saying to do in it a year is unrealistic. pompeo needs to talk about is everything from where are the scientists and engineers? where's the documentation and the nuclear materials and the facilities? and then you get into how you monitor over time to ensure they do

north korea, kim jong-un, they see that. kim jong-un has reestablished a better relationship with china. it was pretty much in the gutter a couple years ago, the chinese were deeply frustrated with kim jong-un, they saw him as the source of the instability they feared. now he is back in the driver's seat with the chinese. it makes it much harder to get to yes for the administration. >> stay with us. next on "gps," president trump has a mild week ahead in foreign policy. he will be at the nato summit. he has a meeting with the queen, prime minister may in the united kingdom then man know oman know with vladimir putin in hell inc. sinky. when we come back i will ask my panel what to expect. -and we welcome back gary, who's already won three cars, two motorcycles, a boat, and an r.v. i would not want to pay that insurance bill. [ ding ] -oh, i have progressive, so i just bundled everything with my home insurance. saved me a ton of money. -love you, gary! -you don't have to buzz in. it's not a question, gary. on march 1, 1810 --

kim jong-un didn't even approval it until the final hours, keeping us guessing. few expected this relatively simple confidence-building measure would take more than six weeks. raising series questions about the far more complex, far more contentious negotiations over denuclearization. >> the north koreans understand -- >> reporter: this week secretary of state mike pompeo told the senate intelligence committee north korea is still producing fuel for north korea weapons. pompeo, fresh off a disappointing trip to pyongyang, little if any progress on key issues. and a widely perceived snub by kim jong-un, who did not meet with him. the u.s. was later criticized by north korea for making what they called gangster-like demands. in may north korean officials took cnn to what they claimed was the destruction of this nuclear test site. these new images show they may also be dismantling a satellite launching station. but u.s. intelligence agencies believe north korea is upgrading other key weapons facilities, including a ballistic missile plant and nuclear reactor. their

this puts into doubt the promise made by north korean leader kim jong-un. at a summit in singapore just last month, he reportedly told u.s. president donald trump he would end all nuclear testing. we will get reaction from washington in just a moment. but first, this report. reporter: on the surface, relations between the u.s. and north korea have been warming. earlier this week north korea returned the remains of american soldiers 65 years after the end of the korean war. the gesture of peace came weeks after an historic summit. a day later, u.s. president donald trump declared that north korea was no longer a threat. but now the washington post has published reports citing u.s. intelligence that could undermine the apapparent diplomatic progress on the peninsula. according to the report, this missile research facility in north korea is being built up, rather than torn down. neighbor south korea is on alert. >> the south korean government is closely watching north korean movements and closely y working with the united states. however, i hope you understand

and i'm not sure if kim jong-un does. the first step is to stop making nuclear fa materiel, and get that place shut down and list these places so we know what it is they're doing. then i think after that, there should be an effort to go after the fissile material, which depending on their bomb design, could be 20 bombs or 60 bombs. i think there is a lot to be done and john bolton knows that very well. i have the sense he's trying to burden the thing with missiles and other issues, which obviously we need to get at. i am not sure if this is an achievable objective as he describes it. >> we'll see what secretary pompeo comes back. ambassador christopher hill, thank you for joining us. >>> just before we go, the white house says that president trump has had a half hour phone call with mexico's president-elect. he said they had quote, a great talk about border security, trade, and nafta. so we'll see where that relationship goes from here. and that is it for our program tonight. thanks for watching "amanpour" on pbs. join us

jong—un to give up americans want kim jong—un to give up all of his nuclear weapons while mr kim probably does not want to do that because he has been using it as leverage to be treated as equal, to have donald trump sitting down in front of them to have a meeting with him. there were always warnings about it and of course we heard from us intelligence officials saying they had evidence that north korea continued working on its nuclear programme even after the singapore summit. and that is why there was lots of pressure on mr pompeo to get more thanjust lots of pressure on mr pompeo to get more than just words from pyongyang and to get more details about the denuclearization plan. south korean officials have been advising washington to turn tone down the language and make kim jong—un feel more comfortable about what he can agree on. but that did not work too well because north koreans seem rather upset after mr pompeo spent two days in pyongyang. for the third timei two days in pyongyang. for the third time i should say as well. mr pompeo was expected to meet with kim jong—un but appa

but i think kim jong un got a taste of what was out there when he visited singapore. he went to that, now famous casino that has an image of a boat on top of it. maybe he wants to see new york city. who knows? >> harris: more thin an image come at ship is huge. >> when i meant image, i meant, not a real ship. >> harris: great to see you. let us bring in republican congressman. a member of the affairs committee paired thank you for being on the program. after the summit, the president tweeted that, technically the north korean nuclear threat was gone from north korea. where does that but the actual facts? >> it was progress for kim jong un to be signing that document to commit to denuclearizing the nation. there are multiple steps ahead. that was a brief but firm statement that was made. next, we have to make sure that there is total accounting and complete verification, that there is total denuclearization of north korea. on top of that, in just a days and weeks that are ahead, secretary of state mike pompeo going to north korea. at times, we will sit at the table and

we expect mike pompeo to meet with kim jong-un tomorrow. we don't know whether kim is going to give a timeline. as you say skeptics are circling because there has been a lot of evidence put forward and talk from the intelligence community in the u.s. that kim is ramp ing up its nuclear operations, its enriching uranium for fissile material. it's expanding a ballistic missile manufacturing site and there is one perhaps piece of leverage that pompeo can use and that is the sis spended military drills between the u.s. and south america and other nations as welt. they were suspended, you remember donald trump told kim jong-un he would suspend those drills. he told them provocative, donald trump did, echoing pyongyang's words on those drills but if pompeo comes away empty handed and if donald trump can be convinced that this isn't at this stage the great deal he hopes it will be, those exercises could come back on the table or could be threatened as a way of leveraging for kim jong-un. but at this stage we don't know erica. >> unknowns, andrew s

you mentioned kim jong-un calling donald trump your excellency. it was a four paragraph letter and he said your excellency five times in that letter, which gives you an idea how eager kim jong-un is to keep the relationship alive, but on the ground, it's not looking good at all. the u.s. delegation stood up. 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 sa

pompeo doesn't get to meet with kim jong un. that would be the most negative sign i can think of quite honestly, brooke. there's been glashl speed with which things have been done since the singapore meeting almost a month ago. nothing that the north koreans promised that they would do immediately including returning the remains of american soldiers. it has not happened. if he doesn't get to any of them, it's very bad news. on this rip roaring glashl speed on die nuclearization, joe, we know that by having the singapore summit, the trump has always elevated kim on the world stage, and that kim has this win with the seizing of the unilateral military exercises on the peninsula, does kim have all the leverage now? >> he has met now, what, she jing ping three times. trump, south korean president, twice. he is no longer the kind of character tour that we used to see him as. now he is seen as a regional leader. meanwhile, everything that has been promised by president trump, well, it hasn't happened, and it just shows you how hard th

of course want kim jong—un to give up all his nuclear weapons, while mr kim probably doesn't want to do that because he has been using them as leverage to be treated as equal, to have mr trump sitting down in front of him to have a meeting with him. so there were always warnings about it. and of course we heard from the us intelligence officials, saying they had evidence that north korea continued working on its nuclear programme even after that sing —— singapore summit. that is why there was a lot of pressure on mr pompeo to get more than words of commitment from pyongyang, to get more details about that denuclearisation plan. south korean officials have in advising washington to tone down that language, to make kimjong—un feel probably more comfortable about what he can agree to. 0bviously that didn't work too well, because north korean is seem rather upset after mr pompeo spent two days in pyongyang, for the third time, i should say. —— north koreans seem rather upset. mr pompeo was apparently supposed to meet with kim jong—un but apparently that meeting never happened

jong-un, where kim jong-un is now not living up to the contract as the president wants to call it, that he claims kim jong-un agreed to with that hand shake, et cetera? >> yes, i think that's a great example, where they're talking, one-on-one, certain words mean different things to different people, and certain phrases mean different things. and there's no expert in the room when he's talking one-on-one. and with vladimir putin, remember, he's been at this for 20 years, he's on his fourth presidency now. our president is new to this front. so i just wish and hope that he takes somebody into that meeting with him. >> remember, the president wants to be best friends with vladimir putin, he tweeted so in 2016. >>> and now to the international rescue mission in northern thailand, rescuers pulled out four more boys from a flooded cave this morning, bringing the total number of boys saved to eight. they were rushed to a nearby hospital after spending more than two weeks trapped inside the cave. but the operation is not over. four boys and their soccer coach are still in the cave, all of them

he did not even meet with kim jong-un during his trip. here's our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl tonight. >> reporter: it was just after his big summit with kim jong-un that president trump declared, quote, "there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea." but now, one month later, their handshake agreement could be falling apart. >> we still have a long ways to go. >> reporter: that was secretary of state mike pompeo today after his tense weekend trip to north korea. in pyongyang, the top north korean negotiator even suggested that pompeo may be losing sleep over the talks. >> so thinking about those discussions, you might have not slept well last night. >> director kim, i slept just fine. >> reporter: on his two previous trips to north korea, pompeo met directly with kim jong-un. friendly encounters. not this time. no meeting with kim. still, leaving pyongyang, the secretary sounded upbeat. >> these are complicated issues but we made progress on almost all of the central issues. >> reporter: but shortly after pompeo

president trump saying he trusts kim jong-un. defense intelligence agency telling cnn they do not believe kim is ready to give up the weapons any time soon. that report being shared around the united states intelligence community. if they all concur, that would be a complete assessment passed up to trump. with his skepticism, will he believe the intelligence or will he push forward with possible plans for a summit in the united states in september with kim jong-un as axios is reporting. after secretary pompeo leaves pyongyang he'll travel to tokyo and then brief the president at the nato summit in brussels. certainly lots to talk about. >> absolutely. no question. thank you so much. >>> let's get a check on cnn money this morning. stocks around the world are mostly higher. a short day for wall street. u.s. markets close at 1:00 p.m. today to get a jump on 4th of july. a positive day yet. a big tech rally. del is ready to return to wall street going public after five years. computer company went private back in 2013 so it could ov

jong—un agreed between president trump and kimjong—un in agreed between president trump and kim jong—un in singapore agreed between president trump and kimjong—un in singapore last month. that as all we know for now. since we don't know very much, i am at a loss about what to ask you. i will still try to probe. what do we think denuclearisation of the peninsula means? is that just denuclearisation of the peninsula means? is thatjust north korea orders that mean north korea and the us? that is the big question. ever since that declaration at the singapore summer. that meeting between the sitting us president, president trump, and kim jong—un was historic and symbolic. but they agreed ina historic and symbolic. but they agreed in a vague term that they are both committed to the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. that word, denuclearisation, mean somewhat differently if you are asking of koreans or americans. us wants north koreans or americans. us wants north korean is to give up all of its nuclear weapons. i don't think that is exactly what mr kim has in mind because since the

what would be the thing that would motivate kim jong-un to give up his nuclear program? because it has been driven by this passion for reunifying korea. and america has really been painted as an ultimate evil in north korea. why would he give it up? what would he have to get in exchange? >> i mean that's a very good question because north koreans have always said they need a security guarantee. what are they talking about? but how do we give a security guarantee? north korea meant by that by u.s. pulling troops out of south korea. but it's hard to give a guarantee to north korea. and north korea's existence was all about having the united states as their number one hostile enemy. that sort of justified their existence and all the suffering of the north korean people all these years since the founding of north korea. beyond having nuclear weapons as deterrence against the united states, beyond trying to get guarantee from the united states, it's also the reason for their existence. i think it's going to be a very hard thing to achieve. but since president trump said we ar

and now kim jong-un's regime is making new demands on the u.s. on top of all of that, former trump campaign adviser carter page admitted he informally advised the kremlin. paul manafort's criminal trial is set to begin this week. the fbi has a secret tape of the president and his lawyer michael cohen discussing a payment to a former playboy model, and the plot is thickening on an alleged russian spy here in the united states. and remember, we still don't know what happened during the president's one-on-one meeting in helsinki with vladimir putin. let's start with our white house correspondent. the president is reversing his walk back on russia. what's the latest message he's now sending? >> reporter: well, wolf, after what could only be described as a week of damage control by this white house, insisting that the president did believe the intelligence community's assessment that russia meddled in the election, the president is now making fresh calls to end the investigation into russian meddling in the election and whether or not any trump offici

some of that -- the politics at home for kim jong un may drive some of that. but the nuclear deal is the end game here. >> david: what we ultimately want out of this is a denuclearize to north korea. then we can start moving to the next big issue we have with them is making sure that we are not packing into the system. they want us hope we get into human rights, too. >> you have to believe that the president's tweets that he is sending off, he knows that president kim jong un results. >> is in an interesting the world we live in? >> abby: they are comparing north korea to libya. that whole thing happened, they pulled back. he knows that they are paying very close attention. i think the frustration that the american people have, though. you get up in the morning and read his tweet and say everything is going great, and you read the reports from sources that want to be unnamed saying that they are doing the complete opposite north korea. there is a real confusion out there and the frustration of what is actually going on. are we making a progress and north korea

but i don't trust kim jong-un at all. kennedy: i don't either. don't you assume they are still building something? >> they have no reason not to. they are not actually afraid of us attacking them. >> i think they are. kennedy: i think kim jong-un is afraid. >> the same thing going on with china and south korea and japan. what president trump has done is phenomenal. we haven't done this in 60 years. >> it's great to see north korea reacting. they have been running the table from clinton and madeleine albright bringing a michael jordan signed basketball to his dad. kennedy: isn't it interesting the 90s are a key to this? >> we need verifiable commitments. kennedy: president trump reported lire considering pulling the united states -- reportedly considering pulling the united states out of the world trade organization. he told maria bartiromo that he's eyeing tariffs on automobiles next. the e.u. warned the car tariffs would lead to retaliatory taxes on u.s. exports. how will the trade war help the economy? is this the worst idea in the world to tal

according to reports, north korean leader kim jong-un brought his own toilet to singapore for his summit with president trump to prevent intelligence agencies from using the sewer to get information on his health.

[ light laughter ] [ applause ] seth: nba hall of famer dennis rodman arrived in singapore today ahead of president trums summit with north korean leader kim jong-un. he would have gotten there sooner, but you knor, metal dete [ light laughter ] that's right, dennis rodman arrived in sinpore today for the summit with kim jong-un. so at least if kim launches a nuclr missile, rodman will b there to grab the rebound. [ light laughter ] that's right. dennis rodman will be there. the dennis rodman will be there. erlaughter ] that one, not a dit one. [ light laughter ] dennis rodman from the state department? no.

mike pompeo had a meeting this morning or this afternoon, actually, with kim jong-un's number two. that went for two and three-quarter hours. pompeo has been dialing back a bit on expectations. he said that he is not expecting a time line from north korea on denuclearization. indeed, we're not sure what sort of concrete steps the u.s. are asking for and what is on the table as far as north korea is concerned. pompeo has been referring back to that meeting, that summit back on june 12th, between donald trump and kim jong-un, where they signed off on their full commitment to denuclearization. mike pompeo says, i'm here to basically -- his line was seeking to fill in details of the commitment. he says, north koreans -- he is expecting the north koreans to do the same. that's woolly language as far as what they are expecting. there's a lot of skepticism in the u.s. intelligence xhucommun as to the commitment that north korea is showing and likely to show to a full, verifiable denuclearization. >> appreciate it. thank you. >>> scott pruitt is out. his deputy, andrew whieeler, wil lead t

the secretary met with kim jong-un's top advisor, kim yong-chol. according to pompeo they made, and this is a quote, progress on almost all of the central issues but that's not how pyongyang sees it. they released this statement. we expected the u.s. to bring constructive measures to build confidence in accord answer with the spirit of the u.s./north korea summit. however, the attitude of the u.s. in the first high-level talks held on the 6th and 7th were indeed regrettable. >> they went on to say that the result of the talks were very worrisome. now, also of note here, north korean leader kim jong-un did not meet with pompeo. >> joining us now, cnn pentagon correspondent ryan browne. >> ryan, pompeo's and north korea's versions here of the exact same meetings don't seem to match up at all. what exactly does this mean? >> well, definitely. we're hearing very different tones coming from north korea and from secretary of state mike pompeo. now, speaking to reporters while still in pyongyang before boarding his aircraft, pompeo said that progress had

give kim jong-un the cd. this time around. if you're at home going that might not pass a smell test i think you are completely right. but the president does have a very unconventional relationship with kim jong-un and trying to appeal to his sense of humor in some way. >> critics might say it's a little odd. my initial concern when i heard this wait a minute. what is this song about? we know kim jong-un likes western culture. will he have the song translated and will it be lost in translation? i dug around a little bit. i thought rocket man was doing drugs. it was the 70s and that's what i hear everybody was doing. it is based on a short story about a guy who had to leave his family behind to go to mars and now when you hear that it's sad. but there is -- you can listen to the song over and over. >> it's a fully different. >> sandra: you hear the song one time and it is in your head the entire day, agree? >> when you get in front of a computer later google rocket man william shatner if you want to enjoy the s
