you have met directly with kim jong-un. do you still think that the people there in north korea would like to see him go? >> jonathan, what i said that evening, i still believe. the people of north korea live in very difficult conditions. believe that one of the reasons that kim jong-un is engaged in this conversation is that the pressure campaign that's been applied by president trump and by the world has put them in more tenuous, more difficult position. so i'm optimistic. we'll work hard to see if we can't find a solution so that the north korean people can in fact live a better life.

it's one thing to stop the tests and one things the kim jong—un to give up one things the kim jong—un to give up nuclear weapons. late last year, tensions were high. analysts thought we we re tensions were high. analysts thought we were on the brink of a war. and suddenly we heard from kim jong—un saying that he was possibly sending north korean delegations and then we have seen some rapid progress of diplomacy. what in your view changed mr kim's mind? it was a combination of factors. we saw late last year, kim jong—un demonstrated an of factors. we saw late last year, kimjong—un demonstrated an h—bomb and icbm capabilities. so as far as the policy goes, the nucleoside of this. they were reiterated for the speech. we have completed this part. this does allow them to have broader negotiating flexibility. there is a lot more that he can give up to give up lot more that he can give up to give up some of the political will in relations that have soured. he no longer has to demonstrate these capabilities. things like putting a freeze on testing. even now, he is willing to shut down

>> yes, and at the same time the wife of chairman kim jong-un and chairman kim jong-un's sister kim il jong with at the head table. it made the atmosphere much more amicable and lively. >> it was really as relaxed as it looked? >> it was extremely relaxed. people were moving around different tables, proposing a toast and congratulating the success of the summit. >> and did you expect it to be like that? >> no, i didn't expect it, i thought there must be some kind of tension, some kind of difficulty in arriving at that kind of declaration but i didn't see the kinds of difficulties. >> how did kim come across? what was his persona like? his body language? did you shake his hand? did he look you in the eye? >> oh, yes. he's just ordinary and normal. but he has charisma, but he's extremely friendly, willing to accommodate any person's approach. of course the setting was somewhat different, last night's banquet. but however he was very, very -- he showed very ordinary and amicable behavior towards the other members from south korea. >> what was the most important thing for you given how lon

jong—unin president moonjae—in and kim jong—un in panmunjom. president moonjae—in and kim jong-un in panmunjom. critics of your government might say there is quite a lot of wishful thinking involved, because essentially, apart from some statements, kim jong—un and has really given up nothing in order to get to the summit. well, i believe still the announcement made by pyongyang on the 20th of april, which includes the suspension of the nuclear testing and missile launchers, as well as the shutdown of the nuclear testing site in the northern part of north korea speaks volumes about the direction in which the north koreans will go in terms of denuclearisation and when they come to talks with us and the americans. are of course we will not come to any conclusions regarding the denuclearisation. we will be serious, we will be very stubborn and talking with the north koreans of the importance of the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. president trump will follow friday's summit with a summit of his own. a lot of people are very surprised t

jong—un. 0f the north korean leader, kim jong—un. of course, this summit comes ahead of the meeting between president trump and kim jong—un but some would argue that by having these meetings, it almost legitimises the north korean state, which has had a record of human rights abuses and that it recognises the north korean state as a nuclear state. is that a good thing? the north korean state as a nuclear state. is that a good thing7m depends. in my opinion, without making some engagement with north korea and getting some concessions from the north korean side, the first thing is the issue of denuclearisation. those are some high priorities in terms of security matters. 0nce high priorities in terms of security matters. once we have some progress in this domain, then we can move to the other domain of internal politics of north korea economic cooperation or exchange. this is some kind of step—by—step approach to how to open in north korea and how to reform. we cannot do everything in a some will turn this way. changing north kor

jong on very shortly. —— kim jong—un. north korean leader kim jong on very shortly. —— kimjong—un. he has arrived and shook hands with officials, working tirelessly, of course, to make this summit happen. this all changed, this all happened very, very quickly. 0nly 4—6 months ago the countries, north korea and its tensions with the rest of the world were very, very high. we had kim jong—un calling president trump a. hard, president trump calling him little rocket man because of all the missile test that they have conducted. and here we are, after the new year's day speech of tim jong on that he might send a north korean delegation, it happened rather quickly, to the winter 0lympics rather quickly, to the winter olympics in march. we saw the two korea's competing under one flag and since then we have had some major meetings between kim jong—un, since then we have had some major meetings between kimjong—un, he met with chinese president xi jinping, that was the first meeting that he had with the head of the fo

you have met directly with kim jong-un. do you still think that the people there in north korea would like to see him go? >> jonathan, what i said that evening, i still believe. the people of north korea live in very difficult conditions. believe that one of the reasons that kim jong-un is engaged in this conversation is that the pressure campaign that's been applied by president trump and by the world has put them in more tenuous, more difficult position. so i'm optimistic. we'll work hard to see if we can't find a solution so that the north korean people can in fact live a better life. >> our thanks to secretary pompeo who spoke to us from saudi arabia. we had hoped to ask him about iran and other hot spots. as you saw there, he had to run to a dinner with the saudi crown prince. let bring in congressman adam schiff. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee. congressman schiff, you heard the secretary say he thinks there's a real opportunity here. that they're going into this with eyes open. but they think tha

what does kim jong-un want? your president has said that he has put down no preconditions, not even the demand that they always make which is the removal of u.s. forces and ironclad security guarantees. i mean, really, there are no preconditions? you don't expect them to ask for anything? >> he did say -- what he did say was, if the threat of -- the military threat is removed, if it is guaranteed security, then there's no reason for him to have nuclear weapons. so those are two big items that he's put on the table. we will know better with greater clarity at the table. so, you know, the details of the denuclearization commitment is really to be elaborated and explored at the summit table. >> denuclearization may mean different things to different people. as you heard president trump even just in the last couple of days say, what does it mean to him? it means dismantling and getting rid of the north korea's nuclear weapons program. just getting rid of it, ending it. and you, i believe, feel the same way. >> yes,

trump and kim jong-un in the coming weeks. you can see support, you can see positivity, and you can also see the white house in this statement pushing ahead with with donald trump and kim jong-un off of the back of this already historic day. already an historic morning for asia, and historic morning for the korean peninsula to see what will happen. possibly in the next month or month and a half or so. the north leaders, korean leader in u.s. leader meet after moon jae-in and kim jong-un talk over the next several hours of today. right now, they are in the peace house having those discussions. we just saw the doors close on them a few minutes ago. on the wall, a fly but we will get developing news as we get it. in the meantime, let's get the first word news with paul allen. paul? japan'ss, rainy, factory output continues to rise into 2018 industrial production rose 1.2%. it gained 2.2% from the previous year. been supportedas by overseas demand for japanese industrial products. u.s. china trade tensions could put that at risk.

kim jong un i kim jong kim jong un invited president moon to north korea. they are talking about future summits. this is not just about today. we are looking forward to seeing what kind of communication and what kind of draft agreement will come up at the end of today. how much can they decide in one day? the blue house consistently said today is about how willing is north korea to new guindenuclea. >> we heard they had stand-ins to rehearse and this seems very relax relaxed. we don't know what they are saying. they seem at ease. >> reporter: they do. you know, christine, this is probably one of the first times we are seeing kim jong un like this. even when he went to china to meet with xi jinping. that was choreographed. this is heavily choreographed. we are seeing him in a more natural state. he is outside of his natural habitat outside of north korea where anytime we see him on state run immediamedia, we knows heavily edited and checked. he knows what is going out to the world and to his people. the two leaders appear to be getting on. >> completely cont

kim jong-un sent his sister there, very positive, at least rhetoric emerged from that, that kim jong-un took the train ride from pyongyang to beijing and met with the chinese leadership as you correct lip point out. then mike pompeo heads to pyongyang for secret talks that took place. he's only the second american to meet with kim jong-un. dennis rodman the first several years ago. and now this sets the stage for the summit with the south korean president, president moon next week followed by a summit with president trump. these are all pretty significant developments, congressman. >> no doubt about it. and your rendition of the various activities that have taken place, keep in mind the election of a new president in south korea who parted from more than 60 years of what was the montra of south korea, we're going to reunify. president moon said something quite different. he said that the reality is there are two nations here. some day, some day off in the future, perhaps there will be reunification, but not now. that's a very, very important part of this whole equation as it's being pla

kim jong un speaking of peace and prosperity. let's listen once again. [ applause ] >> the korean war. no peace treaty was signed in 1953. for 65 years it has been tension and technically war between these two neighbors. you heard a goal of complete denuclearization. they will hold reunion of divided families later this year. president moon will visit pyongyang later this year. the two koreas seek a peace regime. paula hancocks. remarkable. you heard the north korean leader talk about one people and one blood and one korea and one country. what did you make of that? >> reporter: that's right. it is true. this is one people. one country that has been divided by others. suddenly the fact the north korean leader has pointed that out is symbolic and significant. both of these leaders were stand in the press conference saying the other deserved praise and applause for being bold. you heard president moon saying kim jong un had been bold and agreeing to what they agreed to today. to sum up what they agreed to, a declaration of the end

it got kim jong—un that legitimacy he wanted. one of a long—term goals he is certainly is a relaxing of sanctions. over the last few years, sanctions. over the last few years, sanctions have continued and there have been ways around them. actions are have been ways around them. actions a re clearly ratcheted have been ways around them. actions are clearly ratcheted up. i think the economy is starting to hurt as well. one of the immediate goals is to start getting things back in. it's really starting to bite at the moment. would you say all the human rights allegations we have talked about the many years, that has been on the sideline while this historic summit takes place? nobody wants this summer to go badly. i don't think it's going to be an immediate issue that has to be solved anything to go forward. people want things to move forward. there is no way this will be ignored either. the north korean regime under kimjong—un and his father have been accused of awful human rights abuses. somebody will have to once. at the momen

for the time being, the key is to really lock in the process and find kim jong-un 2 -- bind kim jong-un to outside commitments. risks ofat are the great power politics? scott: moon tries to be in the driver seat, which is not the way he is looked at in washington or beijing. the question is how to calibrate into korean relations with both washington, as well as other regional capitalists. shery: thank you for your time. yield",oming up "real and the end live coverage of the joint conference with president trump and angela merkel. this is bloomberg. ♪ retail. under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. our viewers worldwide, i am jonathan ferro, with 30 minutes dedicated to fixed income. this is "bloomberg: real

i don't oh if we have that tweet ready, but he was saying that mike pompeo met with kim jong-un last week, over easter. he goes on to say the meeting went well and a good relationship was formed and the details of the summit are being worked out now. denuclearization will be a great thing for the world, but also for north korea. optimism there, i suppose, you could say, but obviously denuclearization is the big problem, because it hasn't really work out very well in the past when efforts were made to denuclearize north korea and as always, the questions are going will what in the return north korea be seeking for denuclearization? will the concessions at once from the u.s. be acceptable in any way to the u.s. administration? and of course on any verification that follows, because north korea is considered by most of the international community to have cheated on a previous verification deal. to give you a sense of the diplomatic sequence going on at this meeting with trump, there is going to be a face to face meeting with kim jong-un and donald trump, which is obviously going to be a

going to insure that it makes sense for kim jong—un? that north korea are more safer and prosperous by giving up those nuclear weapons. those are three paul matters. these kind of leadership moments are important because they established relationships, the personal relationships, the personal relationships at the highest level. obviously donald trump has to do this as well. on the basis of that, you begina this as well. on the basis of that, you begin a negotiation but there are a lot of details to eye and out. some details could happen big now but we are also talking about a process that will talk at least months of negotiations, we are talking about years to complete the ultimate goal of peace and denuclearisation. we havejust ultimate goal of peace and denuclearisation. we have just had a statement from the white house saying that they wish a very good summitand saying that they wish a very good summit and that this will happen, there will be a summit between president trump and kim jong—un after president trump saying it might not

not to say that kim jong—un is about to be undera say that kim jong—un is about to be under a leadership challenge but there is a big risk which comes with any move like this. how much do you think it is understood about the fabric behind the kimjong—un leadership? a lot of it goes back to speculation. that raise its head. there are clues we get once in awhile. let's look back at the murder of his havant brother. most people believe north korea was behind it. they must been some reason why the havant brother of the north korean leader should not be alive. there are things we have —— happening behind the scenes. we are seeing quite abrupt changes in military officials who were swapped in and out of place. clearly things are going on behind the scenes, especially when kim jong—un first came into power about a year after he was first in power. there were quite a few changes. it is difficult to know if he is just a confident man who decided he wanted to place, or ifzszer/“e £33332 := there moretrea fherous ha'ppefnfiggfi there more'trea fherous ha'ppefrifiggfi afeet. just ther

those are kim jong-un's words. moon commended kim for his decisiveness in making that summit happen, and agrees with kim that they need to talk with open hearts. it was a bigsay present to the world by having this huge agreement. we are having more comments as well from kim jong-un. he says they should meet frequently to make up for lost years. in fact, the pharmacists -- armistice was signed years ago. kim says we can't go back to how .hings were before on a bit of levity, he said he hopes kim enjoys the cold noodles he brought from a restaurant. likenoodles does not sound hopes they, but one are good noodles. rishaad: ones hopes that they are. more on the implications coming up, what this could mean for the north korean economy and beyond. this is bloomberg. ♪ rishaad: we are back. this is bloomberg markets. a 30% slump in operating profits this fiscal year. this is an automation systems maker. income ofing at net, $1.4 billion. quite a significant shortfall. deutsche bank saying -- said it plans to cut more th

i think kim jong-un should be told we'd like to honor your grandfather kim il-sung. he wanted to implement this north-south agreement and agreed to sign it. of course, he died in 1994. it was never implemented and probably never implemented because, you know, the north is following its normal method of obligation, not implementing agreements, and be that as it may we want to say we support kim il-sung's vision and give kim jong-un an opportunity to implement already agreed upon document. and, of course, what we fear, of course, is -- is president trump being put into -- put into, you know, a box and having to agrey to something that we don't want to agree to when i think that if we do this, if we approach it using the north-south agreement as a framework we're making an offer to kim jong-un that he can't refuse. if he refuses it, we're in the position where we can say that he is not honoring the legacy of his grandfather, and that will then inoculate us from whatever happens in the talks because we will have offered to start from an already agreed upon framework. if

kim jong—un pointing to mr kim's sister, missed a mood —— mr moon said she has become such a star in south korea. today's stars are you and me, that is what mr moon said. in the end, the agreement was at the end of the term but for us, for me, it's at the start of the term. hopefully we can continue the progress. it appears the catchphrase, 10,000 miles between the hosts, so we could continue with a good running horse. if we could continue this push, it would be great. mr kim said, we can meet often. let's make a better word for the future. mr moon said, i heard that north korea, you had a big disaster. the big disaster which happened in north korea recently. mr kim said, i came here to end the hostilities and the conflict. that's why i came here. i'm positive that will a better future for the countries. the issues and the problems on the korean peninsula, we are responsible to resolve the issues. and allow surrounding countries to follow, to help us. thank you. thank you. any questions?

jong un as international community and kim jong unasa international community and kim jong un as a legitimate leader of normal state. so i think that this is not the arrival point but unlike what happened in 2008 what is happening right now is very different and it can be really a different path to ward rapprochement and on the peninsula and with the us that has to include an eclair rotation but cannot be limited to that. for example including a peace treaty or normalisation with the relations. and we have heard the new secretary of state for the us, mike pompeo, talking in greater detail about the conversation he had in pyongyang with the north koreans about the question of what irreversible denuclearisation would look like. what you think the options are for the two sides as they approach the discussions for that trump cheap kim jong un summit? discussions for that trump cheap kim jong un summit? as i said, i believe there has to be flexibility on both sides. if the american government wa nts to sides. if the american government wants to sit down at the table in one month from now a little
