U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that his meeting with North Korean leader

Kim Jong-un will take place as agreed,... although it may happen later than originally

anticipated.

He also spoke optimistically about the chance for the two sides to make a fresh start after

years of going toe-to-toe. Lee Seung-jae reports.

President Trump says he plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un next month,

or in early June,... in order to "hopefully" reach a deal on denuclearizing the regime.

Trump made the remarks at a cabinet meeting on Monday,... expressing optimism over the

talks,.. and what the summit could mean for the future.

" North Korea by the way as you've probably seen, we've been in touch with North Korea,

we will be meeting with them sometime in May or early June.

And I think there will be great respect paid by both parties and hopefully we'll be able

to make a deal on the denuking of North Korea.

They've said so, we've said so, hopefully it'll be a relationship that's much different

than it's been for many many years."

This comes after the White House had previously said President Trump would meet with Kim Jong-un

before the end of May.

Trump said direct talks should've happened years ago,... but stressed that he was looking

forward to the summit.

"This should have been done by other presidents and they decided they didn't do it.

They couldn't have done it, but it would have been a lot easier if it were done five years

ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, a lot earlier than now.

But we have a meeting that is being set up with North Korea, so that will be very exciting

I think for the world."

Over the weekend,... the White House confirmed North Korea had told the U.S. that it was

willing to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula,... offering a clearer

picture of the agenda for the talks.

However observers remain cautious despite the easing tensions,... with John Bolton officially

starting his position as Trump's National Security Advisor on Monday, replacing H.R.

McMaster.

Bolton had previously outlined his advocacy of an attack on North Korea.

Many hope his "case for striking North Korea first" will not negatively affect the upcoming

summit.

Trump's Trade War Will Cost US 190,000 Jobs - Duration: 3:53.

According to the chief economist, chief economist analyst at Moody's, Donald Trump's trade war

that he has now started with China is going to cost the United States 190,000 jobs.

Most of those are going to be in the agricultural sector of the American workforce and here's

why.

China recently announced that they were going to increase the tariffs on US produce coming

into their country.

China is a big importer of US produce.

That happens to be a $14 billion a year industry for Middle America, the area where all those

farms are.

Now, if they're goods are going to be basically priced out of the market over in China because

of Donald Trump's trade wars, they're gong to lose billion upon billions of dollars.

Then what happens?

The companies lose the money.

They an no longer afford as many employees, so those employees get fired, get laid off.

Then, the businesses that depend on those employees who are now laid off going and spending

money at them, they lose money.

They lay off workers and so on and so forth as these ripple effects of job losses go throughout

the American economy.

One of the saddest parts of this story and yes it is the saddest part is that a lot of

these voted for Trump.

These are red staters.

They are the ones who according to every available report at this point are going to suffer disproportionate

losses compared to the rest of the population because of Donald Trump's trade wars.

They're the ones.

They put him in office and now he's screwing them over.

That is sad.

That's the livelihood of a lot of people.

Whether you're a Trump voter or a Hillary voter or a Jill Stein voter or Gary Johnson,

I guess, look, we don't want you to suffer.

We don't want you to be unemployed or be homeless or lose the thing that you've built your life

towards building.

I don't think anybody wishes that on anybody else.

It is sad for these people, but a lot of us did see it coming and we tried to warn them.

I hope that they go forth from this realizing that they got conned by this jackass who shouldn't

be running the federal government anyway and I hope that they learn something from it and

I hope they remember that next time they go to vote.

This is their livelihood and Donald Trump is playing a game with it because he thinks

he can outmaneuver China on this issue and that's never going to happen.

Republicans in Congress are too spineless to stand up to him on this.

Yeah.

They're going out and they're doing interviews and they're saying I don't agree with him

on it, but unfortunately my backbone was removed a few years ago so there's nothing I can do

to stand up to him about it.

That's a lie.

They could stand up to him.

They could pass legislation.

They could do a number of things to put the reigns on Donald Trump and stop him from destroying

the entire United States economy, but they won't do it because they're afraid he's going

to send out a nasty tweet about them.

That's what they're afraid of, folks.

They're not afraid of him coming after them and investigating them.

They're afraid of him tweeting about them.

They're going to let the entire economy, they're going to let 190,000 people lose their jobs

because they don't want Donald Trump to bully them on Twitter.

That's your American Republican Party.

Vladimir Putin has 'BLOOD on his hands' as raging US confront Russia over Syria - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 4:17.

Vladimir Putin has 'BLOOD on his hands' as raging US confront Russia over Syria

VLADIMIR Putin has "blood on his hands" over Syria as the crisis in the region deepens,

the US has said.

Russia and the West are at each other's throats again following a chemical attack

on civilians suspected to have been carried out the regime of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Putin is backing the Syrian leader in the continuing bloody war across the country,

and the latest chemical incident comes at a time of fears the world is heading for a

new Cold War.

Speaking at the UN, US ambassador Nikki Haley blasted Putin's regime over the attack – claiming

they have blood on their hands.

It came after US President Donald Trump warned there will be a "big price to pay" for

the massacre as he directly address Russia, Iran and Syria.

The latest attack has reignited fears the US could once again attack Syria – which

is heavily defended by Russian forces – following a cruise missiles strike on Assad's forces

in 2017.

Ms Haley said: "The monster who was responsible for these attacks has no conscience.

"The Russian regime, whose hands are all covered in the blood of Syrian children, cannot be

shamed by pictures of its victims.

We've tried that before."

She added: "We are on the edge of a dangerous precipice.

The great evil of chemical weapons use that once unified the world in opposition is on

the verge of becoming the new normal.

"The international community must not let this happen.

We have reached the moment when the world must see justice done."

Trump has promised a response to the attack within 48-hours, and said "major decision"

will be made and "all options" are on the table.

At least 45 people, including civilians, were killed and 300 injured over the weekend in

a gas attack in the rebel-held town of Douma.

Russia have furiously denied the attack was anything to do with the Syrian regime, claiming

it is a "fabrication" and demanding further investigations.

Syrian air defences shot down five missiles when defending the T4 base which Russia claims

were fired by Israeli F-15s following the attack in Douma.

The US launched a cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base a year ago in response to

a sarin gas attack on rebels in northwest Syria.

The UN's special envoy on Syria, Staffan de Mistura, used the Security Council meeting

to call for an independent investigation.

He said: "Continued allegations of use of chemical agents are of extremely grave concern.

These allegations must be independently and urgently investigated."

Russian ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council that his country

was being threatened by the US and UK.

He said "Russia is being unpardonably threatened.

The tone with which this is being done has gone beyond the threshold of what is acceptable,

even during the Cold War."

Mr Nebenzia branded the alleged attack "fake news" and said the US, UK and France had a

"confrontational" attitude to Russia.

The Russian ambassador said that armed force by the US in Syria "could lead to grave repercussions".

Tensions are already stretched between Russia and the West over the attempted murder of

former MI6 agent Sergei Skripal in Salisbury.

Russia had denied any involvement as dozens of nations chucked out more than 100 Russian

diplomats in response to the poisoning of Skripal and his daughter Yulia.

France: Authorities reach out to US donors to help repair Notre-Dame cathedral - Duration: 1:34.

Having reached the grand old age of 855,

Paris' Notre-Dame is in need of some serious renovations.

Here, the cathedral roof shows the damage done by the passing of time.

"Sculptures like this one are in a state of disrepair.

This wearing away is the effect of pollution over time.

Now we see here more possible degradation when you tap there just below,

when we see this kind of thing we absolutely have to act on it."

The renovation work will cost nearly 60 million euros over 10 years.

The French government will finance the first 40.

To raise the remaining funds,

tourists visiting the site have had an idea.

"Maybe you should charge people to go in, a little bit of money,

you'll raise it very quickly.

"Yeah, because we were surprised!"

"Lot of people want to go."

"We were happy to pay!"

"Five euros?"

"If it's necessary money to support it,

yes, I would pay."

Payment on entrance is policy in many other countries,

including Spain and the UK.

Yet, the Cathedral rector says he does not want this,

and suggests a different approach.

"I can call on French patrons,

and also search for patrons in the United States

so I think it would be found.

The restoration work done so far has been possible with help from the United States.

"We have many American visitors,

and they always ask us if they can donate for the Cathedral renovations

so we created an organization for this purpose in the U.S.

A delegation left for the States on Sunday on a collection mission

with a second visit planned for October.

RUSSIA THREAT: Putin warns US 'you are in violation of EVERYTHING' - Washington on ALERT - DAILYNEWS - Duration: 3:45.

RUSSIA THREAT: Putin warns US 'you are in violation of EVERYTHING' - Washington on ALERT

RUSSIA has issued the US with a dire warning

after Donald Trump imposed a raft of harsh new sanctions.

The Kremlin told Washington this afternoon the US is in violation of "anything and

everything".

Russia issued the fiery statement after the US issued its harshest raft of new sanctions

against Vladimir Putin as Russia battles controversy in Europe and the Middle East.

After Moscow's stocks plummeted following the sanctions announcement, the Kremlin lashed

out at Washington with an accusation of breaching "everything".

Russia said: "This is outrageous from the standpoint of legality and violates anything

and everything."

The Kremlin said they were considering "a large variety of options" - a thinly veiled

threat to Donald Trump and his White House administration.

Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov continued: "This is quite a new phenomenon and we are

seeing the first manifestations of its negative impact.

"Of course, it takes time to analyse it, to understand the extent of the real damage

and to work out steps to improve the situation as much as possible."

It comes as Russia faces condemnation in the UK and Syria.

The Kremlin continues to deny it was responsible for the attempted assassination of former

spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury.

It has also been blasted for a deadly chemical attack in Syria which left many, including

children, dead.

They deny involvement in both incidents.

Yesterday Mr Trump took to Twitter to directly hit out at Russia - a rare personal attack

on Putin from the US president.

He tweeted: "Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack

in Syria.

"Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible

to outside world.

"President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad.

Big price to pay.

"Open area immediately for medical help and verification.

Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever.

SICK!"

Russia's TASS news agency said Russia was considering a number of responses to the new

US sanctions.

Mr Peskov said: "We are analyzing the situation.

The interests of our country are seen as of paramount importance."

This evening Mr Trump condemned the chemical weapon attack in Douma, which left at least

42 dead.

He said the attack was "heinous" and said "if it's Russia, if it's Syria, if it's

Iran or all of them together, we'll figure it out".

Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Trump said he was talking to military leaders and would

decide who was responsible for the attack.

Mr Trump also called on Syria and Russia to open access to East Ghouta to allow international

monitors and medical aid to enter.

And the US state department said: "There will be consequences for this unacceptable atrocity."

News Wrap: China 'not nice' for targeting U.S. farmers with tariffs, says Trump - Duration: 4:07.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: In the day's other news: President Trump pledged to make it up to farmers

who could suffer from China's proposed tariffs on pork and soybean imports.

Beijing threatened them in response to planned U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods.

Today, the president called the farmers great patriots, and acknowledged the hardships they

face from China's retaliatory moves.

DONALD TRUMP: The farmers will be better off than they ever were.

It'll take a little while to get there, but it could be very quick, actually.

But I say it's not nice when they hit the farmers specifically because they think that

hits me.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: In Beijing, Chinese officials blamed the U.S. for escalating trade tensions,

and said negotiations would be impossible under the current circumstances.

GENG SHUANG, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson (through translator): The trade conflicts

are unilaterally started by the United States, so the responsibility rests entirely on its

side.

Its actions have violated international trade rules, dented the multilateral trade system,

and breached its own promises as well.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: On Sunday, President Trump predicted China will ultimately ease trade

barriers because -- quote -- "It's the right thing to do."

President Trump also confirmed today that his meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

will take place in May or early June.

That comes after it was widely reported North Korea confirmed with the White House that

it's willing to discuss potential denuclearization.

But it's unclear what the North believes that would entail.

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has won a third term, after running on a deeply

anti-immigrant platform.

The right-wing nationalist leader celebrated his sweeping reelection in Budapest on Sunday.

Orban repeatedly criticized the European Unions' more open border policies during his campaign.

His ruling party also secured a two-thirds majority in Parliament, and he vowed to unveil

legislation cracking down on immigrant rights groups.

Back in this country, the Congressional Budget Office is projecting that the U.S. budget

deficit will top $1 trillion by 2020.

Its director, Keith Hall, said the deficit will surge to about $804 billion this year,

largely due to President Trump's tax cuts and the newly passed bipartisan spending bill.

And, by 2028, the deficit will approach 100 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.

KEITH HALL, Commissioner, Bureau Of Labor Statistics: Our forecast beyond 10 years does

nothing but show rising debt to GDP ratio.

And we anticipate within the next decade after that we're going to break the record, under

current law, debt to GDP, so we're getting to quite really high levels.

And there's really no trend path under current law to fix the problem.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: The CBO's projections assume the tax cuts will expire, as the law is written

down, but if Congress extends them, Hall said the deficit would be much larger.

The teachers strike in Oklahoma has now entered its second week, with no end in sight.

Hundreds of educators and their supporters flooded the state capitol for another day,

demanding an increase in education funding.

The state's two largest school districts, Oklahoma City an Tulsa, have already canceled

class for tomorrow as well.

Bill Cosby returned to a Pennsylvania court today for the retrial of his sexual assault

case, this one now occurring in the middle of the MeToo movement.

Cosby was heckled by protesters as he walked into the courthouse today.

The 80-year-old comedian has pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent assault.

A prosecutor revealed Cosby paid nearly $3.4 million to Andrea Constand, the woman he's

charged with sexually assaulting.

That amount had previously been confidential.

On Wall Street today, stocks eased an early rally after news broke about that FBI raid

on President Trump's attorney's office.

The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 46 points to close at 23979.

The Nasdaq rose 35 points, and the S&P 500 added eight.

And Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth of Illinois gave birth to a baby girl today,

making her the first ever U.S. senator to give birth while in office.

Duckworth is a 50-year-old veteran who lost both her legs in the Iraq War.

She's one of only 10 women to give birth while serving in Congress.

Healthcare In The U.S. Vs The Rest Of The World - Duration: 1:52.

The U.S. has no universal healthcare.

According to the Congressional Budget Office nearly 26 million Americans remain uninsured.

Across the rest of the world, healthcare is very different.

Some European countries have publicly funded healthcare like the U.K's National Health Service.

In Japan insurance is often provided by the employer and medical fees are regulated.

In the U.S. it costs around $9,500 a year for healthcare.

17% of U.S. GDP is spent on both private and public healthcare.

More than any other developed country in the world.

Sweden spent just under 12%, while the U.K. is much lower at 9%.

However a mere 48% of that expenditure comes from the government.

While Sweden, Japan and the U.K. all spend more than 80%.

If the U.S. spends more of its GDP on healthcare, surely it should be better, right?

Well, according to data from the World Bank, the life expectancy of Americans has not improved

as much as those living in other developed nations.

With a life expectancy of 79.3 years, Americans live shorter lives than people in 30 other countries.

The number of hospital beds available is another way of measuring the capacity and quality

of resources a healthcare system is able to provide.

Once again, the U.S. fares poorly compared to other developed nations,

with just 2.83 hospital beds for every 1,000 people.

And one final damning statistic.
