jane o'brien reports. with the clock ticking down to tuesday's summit with kimjong—un, donald trump was visibly excited. i think it's going to be a very fruitful meeting, an exciting meeting, i think we're going to get to know a lot of people that our country never got to know. so the summit now seems to be more of a getting—to—know—you session, rather than a complex and high—stakes negotiation — another insight into mr trump's rather unorthodox approach. i don't think i have to prepare very much. it's about attitude, it's about a willingness to get things done. but i think i've been preparing for this summit for a long time. that is in contrast to the rather more direct approach taken by the secretary of state, mike pompeo, when asked if both sides were closer to agreeing on a definition of "denuclearisation". yes. reporter: can you describe that a little bit? no. laughter. announcer: ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states and the prime minister ofjapan. but forjapan‘s prim

jane o'brien is in washington. six months ago, donald trump and kim jong—un were locked in an escalating war of words, in which the north korean leader had threatened to obliterate the united states. today, in front of north korean flags, the american president shook his hand, patted his back, invited him to the white house. it was political theatre unlike anything we have seen before. and a propaganda coup for a man trump had once vilified as "little rocket man." optimists say the summit was a great first step and showed a willingness to make much—needed changes to a hostile relationship. but critics say the communique the leaders signed lacks substance and the goal of denuclearisation is no closer. our north america editor, jon sopel, starts our coverage. it was carefully choreographed, dramatically staged, and yet still somehow utterly unbelievable. both men walking stiffly with nervous smiles. the handshake lasted 12 seconds. the president saying it was an honour to meet kimjong—un. has north korea ever b

'beyond—one—hundred—days' hello, i am christian fraser in london, jane o'brien is in washington. there is a poll, just published in the united states, that presents the split in america society, over how best to deal with illegal immigration. whether to punish or whether to treat migrants well, as an example of kindness. it is a divisive issue — as it is here in europe. and that dilemma of how to deal with mass migration will again dominate this week's eu summit in brussels. we will talk about europe shortly. in america the fate of thousands of children remains unclear despite president trump's executive order halting family separations. yesterday he suggested by—passing the courts altogether to send migrants back to their home countries. for more we are joined byjonathan turley a professor of constitutional law at the george washington university. and do this? can he bypassed the courts? what rights to these migrants quit work and the short a nswer migrants quit work and the short answer is no. the constitution protects persons and that a cruise once you are in the territory

hello i am christian fraser in brussels, jane o'brien is in washington. time is running out. there are just 274 days left until britain leaves the european union. the summit was supposed to deliver the answers to the most intractable of problems — how to avoid a hard border in ireland. but another deadline has come and gone. and with no real progress the brexit agenda has been pushed to october. arriving in brussels, the uk prime minister admitted that both the uk and eu want to work towards a future brexit deal "at a faster pace" than previously. i look forward to talking with fellow leaders about the very good progress we have made on the withdrawal agreement and looking forward to securing our strong future partnership which i believe is in the interests of both of the eu and the uk. i think both sides are keen to continue that work at a faster pace than we have until now, and we would welcome that. not that brexit is dominating. the focus is nearly entirely on migration. so far this year, 44 thousand people have crossed the mediterranean, it's a tiny fraction of those w

jane o'brien reports. i'd like to express our delight with the nomination ofjudge anthony m kennedy to be an associate justice of the united states supreme court. anthony kennedy was a harvard law professor when he was nominated by ronald reagan. 30 years later, president donald trump bid him farewell. i just want to thankjustice kennedy for the years of tremendous service. he's a very spectacular man, really spectacular man. throughout his decades on the bench, he was a consequential voice, advancing gay rights but limiting abortion rights. a moderate republican, kennedy was often the swing vote on contentious issues, sometimes taking a more liberal stance. his departure opens the door for somebody who will appeal to conservatives. a potential shift that alarms democrats. this is the most important supreme court vacancy for this country in at least a generation. in his brief letter of resignation, justice kennedy said his service on the supreme court had been the greatest honour and privilege. his last fe

jane o'brien is in washington. donald trump and his advisers have long argued that presidents have the executive power to dictate the way the united states controls its borders. today, the supreme court agreed with them. in a 5—4 vote, the justices said the president's statutory power over immigration was not undermined by his controversial statements during the 2016 campaign, that muslims posed a danger to americans. the decision overturned rulings last year in the lower courts, that had deemed the ban unconstitutional. seven countries will remain on the list, five of them predominantly muslim — iran, libya, somalia, syria, yemen, as well as venezuela and north korea. here was the president speaking a short time ago. today's supreme court ruling just coming out, a tremendous success, a tremendous victory for the american people, and for our constitution. this is a great victory for our constitution. we have to be tough and we have to be safe and we have to be secure. at a minimum, we have to make sure that we
