After President Trump called off his Secretary of State's trip to Pyongyang this week, watchers

were left with wondering what this meant towards North Korea's denuclearization.

Washington has since now reassured Seoul that it is still fully committed to its pledge...

but by hitting the brakes on further talks, it threatens to disrupt further inter-Korean

projects and also puts President Moon Jae-in's role under the spotlight.

We'll discuss that role further, after this report by Kim Hyo-sun.

The top diplomats of South Korea and the U.S. have reaffirmed their commitment to the goal

of achieving North Korea's fully verified denuclearization.

The U.S. State Department issued a press release on Monday that said Secretary of State Mike

Pompeo and South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha spoke over the phone to discuss

the next steps of engagement towards Pyongyang.

The diplomats also pledged to coordinate closely and shared the same view that pressure must

continue until North Korea denuclearizes.

The State Department urged Pyongyang to keep its promise of denuclearization,... as committed

to by its leader Kim Jong-un during the Singapore Summit in June.

Explaining that Washington and its allies will be focused on achieving the North's denuclearization,...

the State Department said it has nothing to add on Pompeo's cancelled visit to Pyongyang

as of now.

While Pompeo's fourth visit to Pyongyang was scheduled,...

President Trump called it off last Friday.

Taking to Twitter,...

President Trump said he didn't see sufficient progress being made on the Korean Peninsula

regarding the North's denuclearization, but he wished Kim Jong-un well.

US and Mexico agree key portions of Nafta revamp - Duration: 1:51.

It's a big day for trade, big day for our country.

A lot of people thought we'd never get here.

They used to call it NAFTA.

We're going to call it the United States Mexico Trade

Agreement.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

It is our wish, Mr President that now Canada

will also be able to be incorporated in all this.

Canada will start negotiations shortly.

I'll be calling the prime minister very soon.

And we'll start negotiation.

And if they'd like to negotiate fairly, we'll do that.

You know, they have tariffs of almost 300%

on some of our dairy products.

So we can't have that.

We're not going to stand for that.

I think with Canada, frankly, the easiest thing we can do

is to tariff their cars coming in.

It's a tremendous amount of money.

And it's a very simple negotiation.

It could end in one day.

And we'd take in a lot of money the following day.

But I think we'll give them a chance to probably have

a separate deal.

We can have a separate deal.

Then we can put it into this deal.

I like to call this deal the United States Mexico Trade

Agreement.

I think it's an elegant name.

I think NAFTA has a lot of bad connotations

for the United States because it was a rip off.

There was a deal that was a horrible deal for our country.

Mexico's promised to immediately start purchasing as much farm

product as they can.

They're going to work on that very hard.

And as you know, we're working unrelated to this.

We're working very much with other countries.

China is one.

They want to talk, which is not a right time

to talk right now, to be honest with China.

It's been-- it's too one sided for too many years

for too many decades.

And so it's not the right time to talk.

But eventually, I'm sure, that we'll

be able to work out a deal with China.

In the meantime, we're doing very well with China.

U.S. Classroom Culture - San Francisco State University - Duration: 9:36.

Oh!

I'm sorry. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, you look new here. Do you need any help?

Yeah, I'm just try to explore the campus. That's it. Oh, okay. I can help you with that. Oh sure, that'd be great. Yeah, let's go

So, can you tell me something about this University? Well, what exactly do you want to know?

Um, how's the classroom culture?

Okay, so let's start from the beginning of the semester

in the very first class, the professor will hand out a course syllabus which gives a detailed description about

Okay, and how do you address the professors here?

Is it professor? or sir? or ma'am?

Many professors prefer to be addressed by their first names, but it's always okay to call a professor by their title and last name

Still if you are unsure, feel free to ask them

Oh, that's cool.This will definitely help to build a strong relationship between a professor and the students

Yes, definitely! Sometimes professors will have a hard time pronouncing your names. So feel free to kindly correct them or share your preferred name

With this you have to be punctual in classes. This is considered as a sign of respect in U.S. classrooms

Students are expected to attend classes regularly, and sometimes attendance may even count for part of your class grade

Some professors do not like it if you are late for their class

Oh really, then I'll make sure I'm always on time

But wait!

What if I'm not able to attend class? Like if I get sick or anything urgent comes up?

In that case, you should email your professor as soon as possible and they would consider it

Oh, okay, that's a relief.

Also many professors do not accept late assignments and may deduct your points for tardiness

Staying active in class is not just limited to listening to your professor

You should also participate and take notes either with a pen and paper or you may use your laptop

What?

We can use laptops in lectures?

Yes, laptops are allowed during lectures. And usually it's okay to use an audio recorder to record the lecture

However, some professors strictly prohibit the use of any technological gadgets in their classrooms

So you must check with all your professors about their usage in the class either when the syllabus being reviewed or at the beginning or end of the class.

Going further lectures are collaborated with discussions group projects and presentations

The professor presents the content of the course either verbally or through PowerPoint presentation

Professors expects the students to be active in class

that means raising your hand to ask questions, sharing ideas and opinions, and participating in class activities

This helps all students to understand the topic better.

It is very common in your classrooms for you to work in groups.

This is a great way to interact with your classmates, and get to know them, and even helps you practice your English language skills

Working in groups promotes

That sounds great

But how does the professor assign tasks and when do they grade our assignments?

ilearn! ilearn acts as a medium between the students and the professor for assignments deadlines and grades

Professors also provide useful materials through ilearn

Students must check ilearn regularly for latest updates

Eating and drinking beverages like tea or coffee may be allowed during lectures, and again, you can clarify from your professors in case of any doubts

Whoa, this is completely new to me

Back then we used to get caught while having snacks in lectures

I'm sure you guys can relate to that

But here it's completely different. I'm already loving this classroom culture

Happy to hear that

What's that?

Oh, that's the Gator. He's the mascot of San Francisco State

So, getting back to our conversation

Classes will often have discussion or lab sections which are led by teaching assistants

Are teaching assistants same as assistant professors?

Oh, no teaching assistants are usually graduate students who have a good command over the subjects they are teaching

They should be treated with the same respect as you treat your professors

They can help you clarify any doubts you have about your homework, assignments, or test questions

Oh, I see

Oh, I almost forgot to mention one important point, plagiarism!

In U.S. Classrooms. Honesty is a critical component

You are expected to be honest and ethical in your academic work

Cheating and plagiarism are serious violations of the academic code of conduct and are unacceptable

It will often be met with disciplinary action or possible expulsion from the institution

Okay, I'll take care of that

I have a question

What if someone is not able to speak to the professor during or after class because he or she is shy?

that's a good point

Professors tend to be fairly accessible outside the classroom too

So if you need to consult your professors, you can visit them during their office hours or make an appointment

That way you can ask questions or clarify your concepts, homework, or test questions in private

You may also discuss your personal problems, which you think may be affecting your performance in the class

The professor can give you advice on so many things that are beyond the scope of classroom material

You can use this time to ask your professor about academic or career advice

The conversation may be casual and may divert from academic topics to learn more about your interests and hobbies

Meeting your professor during their office hours helps build a positive impression on the professor, and makes you more noticeable in class

Hmm, that sounds great. Thank you for this valuable information

Happy to help!

News Wrap: U.S., Mexico reach tentative agreement on new trade deal - Duration: 5:01.

JOHN YANG: The United States and Mexico have reached tentative agreement on a trade deal

that could replace NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement.

It says at least 75 percent of the content of autos sold in the trade bloc must be made

in North America, 40 percent must be made by workers earning at least $16 an hour.

President Trump called Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto today to congratulate him and talk

up the new deal with a new name.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: They used to call it NAFTA.

We're going to call it the United States Mexico trade agreement.

We will get rid of the name NAFTA.

It has a bad connotation because the United States was hurt very badly by NAFTA for many

years.

And now it's a really good deal for both countries.

JOHN YANG: Now the administration has to negotiate with Canada.

Mr. Trump pledged to negotiate fairly if Canada does too.

The Canadian Foreign Ministry said it's encouraged by the progress so far.

JOHN YANG: Tributes flowed in the United States Senate today for John McCain.

The Arizona Republican died Saturday after a yearlong battle with brain cancer.

The Senate reconvened with colleagues offering praise, starting with Majority Leader Mitch

McConnell and Minority Leader Senate -- Senator Chuck Schumer.

SEN.

CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY), Minority Leader: He was unafraid to take on presidents.

He was unafraid to take on his own party.

He was equally parts funny and furious, foulmouthed and statesmanlike.

He could put the temper in temperament.

He was a brave and honest man.

He was a patriot.

SEN.

MITCH MCCONNELL (R-KY), Majority Leader: He would fight like mad to bring the country

closer to his vision of the common good.

But when the day's disputes were over, that very same man was one of our most powerful

reminders that so much more unites us than divides us.

JOHN YANG: Senator McCain will lie in state at the old Arizona Capitol Building on Wednesday,

which would have been his 82nd birthday.

There will be a memorial service in Phoenix on Thursday.

He will then lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Friday.

A funeral service is set for Saturday at the Washington National Cathedral, and a private

burial will take place Sunday at his alma mater, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis,

Maryland.

President Trump raised eyebrows over his response to the death of Senator McCain.

The two men had been at odds for a long time.

This morning, the American flag over the White House returned to full-staff after just one

day, while those at the Washington Monument and elsewhere remained at half-staff.

After widespread criticism, the White House flags were lowered back to half-staff this

afternoon.

In a statement Mr. Trump said that, despite their differences, he respected McCain 's

service.

He said the flags will remain at half-staff until the burial.

Iran has formally asked the International Court of Justice to suspend U.S. economic

sanctions that were reimposed after President Trump pulled out of the 2015 Iran nuclear

deal.

At a hearing today, Iran argued the sanctions violate a 1955 treaty that regulates the country's

economic ties.

The U.S. says the world court has no jurisdiction over the dispute.

Back in this country, investigators in Jacksonville, Florida, are searching for a motive after

a gunman killed two people and then himself at a video game tournament on Sunday.

Ten others were wounded pull.

Police say the suspected shooter, David Katz of Baltimore, was a competitor at the games.

The event was under way at a shopping mall when the shooting started.

Police said today that Katz went to after other players with a handgun.

MIKE WILLIAMS, Jacksonville Sheriff: The suspect clearly targeted other gamers.

They were in the back room of Chicago Pizza participating in this gaming tournament.

The suspect lost -- walked -- excuse me -- past patrons who were in other parts of the business

and focused his attention on the gamers.

JOHN YANG: Katz was 24.

The Associated Press reports that court records show he'd been hospitalized twice for mental

illness as a teenager.

A federal judge in Seattle today blocked the Trump administration from letting a Texas

company post online its plans for printing plastic guns.

Nineteen states and the District of Columbia had sued the block the blueprints for untraceable

weapons.

The judge's restraining order will remain in place until the case is resolved.

And Wall Street got a boost from the tentative trade deal between the United States and Mexico.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 259 points.

That's a 1 percent gain to close it 26049.

The Nasdaq rose 72 points and the S&P 500 added 22.

Still to come on the "NewsHour": Pope Francis under fire amid a claim that he knew about

sex abuse allegations against a prominent cardinal; a call to prosecute war crimes against

the Rohingya; remembering an American heroes, Senator John McCain; and much more.

US Chamber Of Commerce Launches Attack Ads To Sway Midterm Voters - Duration: 3:05.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has decided that they're no longer going to be sitting on the

benches, on the sidelines, and they're getting out into the field to help Republicans win

the 2018 midterm elections.

This past Friday, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released their very first attack ad against

Democrat Claire McCaskill, because McCaskill dared vote against the Republican tax cut

package.

That's what's at the heart of this video.

That's why they're going after Claire McCaskill.

Well, that and the fact that her area is considered a toss up.

She could very easily lose so they're targeting these weakened Democrats like McCaskill.

Although considering the fact that McCaskill's obviously a very much corporate Democrat,

and yet she's getting heat from this corporate owned entity, the Chamber of Commerce just

because she voted against the tax cut package, but here's the thing, the Chamber of Commerce

is going to be doing this to other vulnerable Democrats all throughout the country as we

head into November.

They think that they can convince voters that, "Oh, this Democrat didn't want to give you

a tax cut.

They're horrible.

Vote for the Republicans.

They love cutting taxes."

Here's the problem with that approach, Chamber of Commerce.

Everybody kind of already realizes that the Republican tax cut was a complete scam.

They know they're not getting raises.

They know that the few people who got bonuses that it was just a one time thing because

the corporations have already spilled the beans on it, not to mention conservative think

tanks have also released studies in recent weeks showing that average American workers

will get approximately zero dollars from the Republican tax cut plan.

All a vulnerable Democrat has to do is run those reports in an ad and it nullifies what

you're doing.

People in this country are not as stupid as groups like the Chamber of Commerce would

like to believe.

We're actually a little bit smarter than that.

Most of us can read the news.

Most of us can see these reports.

We understand what's actually happening, but more importantly, even if you don't read the

news, even if you don't watch it on TV, you still get a paycheck and you look at that

and you know that nothing has changed.

You didn't get more money from your employer giving you a raise.

Your taxes didn't go down.

They're still taking out the same amount from your checks but not from your boss' checks,

and we understand that.

You want to run attack ads against Democrats because they didn't vote for the tax cut bill?

Be my guest, Chamber of Commerce, because most people in this country understand that

that bill was an absolute disaster, and if they want to know who voted against it so

they can vote for them, they you Chamber of Commerce, are doing their homework for them.

Good luck with that.

Florida shooting: Who has the right to own guns in the United States of America? - Duration: 1:58.

The right to bear arms is enshrined in the US Constitution.

This means all lawful residents are allowed to buy and own a gun.

But federal law sets out a few exceptions.

Fugitives,

people with criminal convictions,

those considered a danger to society

or who were involuntarily committed to a mental institution

are all excluded.

The federal minimum age to buy a so-called long gun,

a rifle or shotgun is 18,

21 for handguns and semi-automatic weapons.

Permit requirements to purchase, own or carry firearms then vary,

depending on the state.

The permit is needed to buy handguns in a total of twelve states.

Only four have similar requirements for long guns.

In the rest of the country,

anyone meeting the federal criteria can buy firearms without a permit.

Seven states completely prohibit openly carrying handgunsn

while concealed handgun carry is illegal in only two.

A total of 31 states meanwhile allow

residents to openly carry handguns without a permit.

Guns salesmen must alert local officials

and obtain a federal firearms license.

Federal law then requires licensed vendors

to run a background check before selling firearms,

but the rule can be circumvented

as it doesn't apply to non licensed vendors

Anyone can legally sell a gun without a federal license,

if the sale isn't considered a regular business activity.

This applies for instance to someone selling firearms

from their personal collection.

Gun shows are known for facilitating these transactions,

which can be conducted without the need for a background check.

Unlicensed sales currently represents twenty percent

of all gun purchases in the US.
