Retired U.S. Admiral Harry Harris is due to officially begin his new role as the U.S.

ambassador to South Korea on Saturday.

He fills a post that has been vacant ever since President Trump took office.

Harris is expected to make his arrival statement at the VIP lounge of Incheon International

Airport anytime now.

The U.S. Embassy in Seoul says Harris' term begins at crucial time when Washington is

seeking the denuclearization of North Korea and peace, prosperity, and security on the

Korean Peninsula.

In a video message posted on the embassy's Facebook page, Harris said (quote)"it will

be a great privilege to serve as President Trump's representative in a country that's

an ally and important partner of the U.S., not only in Northeast Asia but globally."

Until his retirement in May, Harris was chief of the U.S. Pacific Command.

5 Amazing Facts in U.S. History - Duration: 5:06.

When you were a kid, did you think history was boring?

All those dates to memorize, and names to remember.

And, then, when you grew up, were you disappointed to find that a lot of what you were taught

was wrong?

Pocahontas did not save John Smith from execution by the Indians...probably.

Betsy Ross almost certainly did not design the first American flag.

Paul Revere didn't ride through the countryside shouting "the British are Coming!"

And, he wasn't alone in his mission.

And, George Washington never chopped down a cherry tree and said: "I cannot tell a lie..."

Some of the most interesting things are not true!

The real stories can be just as interesting, but some of the most mindbending stuff, well,

they just left that out of our history lessons.

Here are some facts of U.S. history that would have made history class a bit more fun.

Number One: Playing Chimney Chicken Ever cleaned a chimney?

Probably not, but they must be kept clean, or a fire could result.

In Medieval times, chimneys were large enough to climb down into, so cleaning them was not

as hard.

But, today, our chimneys are small, and most people get a professional chimney sweeper

to clean them.

The American colonists considered the chicken just such a professional.

To clean their chimneys, some colonists would drop a live chicken down it!

The flapping of the chicken's wings as it went down would sweep the soot from the sides

of the chimney.

Number Two: Columbus and the Garden of Eden One of those disappointing things you may

have learned when you were older was that Christopher Columbus was not a swell guy.

In fact, he was a not very nice at all.

And also kind of nutty.

On his third voyage to the New World, from 1498 to 1500, after discovering the island

Columbus named Trinidad, which means 'three hills,' Columbus explored the Gulf of Paria,

between Trinidad and South America and explored the Orinoco River of present-day Venezuela,

a place he had thought to be an island, which he called Isla Santa.

He realized that the river was so large that this could only be a continent.

South America.

Columbus, who had become a bit of a religious nut, decided that it just had to be the outer

reaches of the Garden of Eden.

Number Three: President James Garfield's Writing Trick You've heard of being ambidextrous.

You wouldn't be all that amazed by a person who could write with either hand, right?

When I broke my right arm as a kid, I learned to write with my left so I could do my school

work.

It wasn't even that hard!

But James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, could do one better.

James Garfield could write both Greek and Latin.

At the same time!

Not only could Garfield write with both his left and right hand, he could write Greek

with one hand while writing Latin with the other, all at once!

Number Four: Grover Cleveland's Rubber Jaw The U.S Presidency has a long history of health-related

cover-ups.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt was famously able to hide his wheelchair from the American

public and usually appeared standing upright, although he was sometimes seen on crutches.

But, one of the most amazing coverups was that of President Grover Cleveland.He was

not a well man.

He had a lot of dental problems, for one.

In 1893, just after he began his second term, Grover Cleveland had half his jaw removed

because of a large cancerous growth.

As crazy as it seems, the operation was done at sea in order to keep it secret.

Later, a false jaw was fashioned out of vulcanized rubber.

The rubber jaw would fit inside his cheek and gave his face a normal appearance.

All of this was done with no visible scarring on the president's face!

The public didn't even find out about this until 1917, nine years after he had died.

Even then, most people still never heard about it.

Number Five: Indian Toll-Booths When early American pioneers traveled west across America,

they were in constant fear of being ambushed by Indians, right?

So, they hated the American Indians.

Well, the truth is that they hated certain Indian peoples more, but not because they

attacked them.

It was because the tribes had toll bridges!

That's right, the pioneer settlers had to pay a toll to cross certain bridges.

And they needed those bridges.

The pioneers, though, thought the Indians had no right to charge those tolls and would

often refuse to pay.

Nigel Farage says Trump blimp is 'insult to a sitting US president' - Duration: 28:05.

Nigel Farage has claimed anti-Trump protestors' plans to fly a blimp portraying Donald Trump as a big baby is the 'biggest insult to a sitting US president ever'

Mr Farage aimed his criticism at London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who granted permission for the 20ft inflatable to fly above Parliament Square Gardens on July 13

The former UKIP leader weighed in on the debate on Thursday, saying allowing the blimp to fly during Trump's visit was 'a step too far' and 'ridiculous'

However, some Twitter users disagreed with Mr Farage, with one remarking: 'JFK getting shot in the head is probably more insulting than a flying a balloon

'Another added: 'Obama endured an endless bombardment of racist caricatures for eight years

'One said: 'Think there have been bigger insults to sitting presidents.from peanuts to bullets

'  Four US Presidents have been assassinated while they were in office, including Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James A

Garfield in 1881, William McKinley in 1901 and John F. Kennedy in 1963.  Ronald Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt in 1981 but survived

  Speaking on LBC, Mr Farage said: 'Let me ask you, does any of you seriously think that if an application to fly an Obama blimp, of Obama as a young, crying baby above Parliament Square when he came here during the referendum to tell us to vote remain, do you actually think that would have been allowed? 'You can't stop people from protesting, expressing their opinion, but I do think there's a never ending war of words, and it does cut both ways because the President invites a fair bit of it

'But this never ending war of words between Sadiq Khan and Donald Trump is frankly ridiculous

 'I say to the Mayor of London, you might not like Mr Trump, you might not like his style, you might find him very confrontational

'But Sadiq, where were you when Obama introduced a total ban on refugees coming from seven predominately Muslim countries?'He went on to claim he didn't see the outrage and protests over President Obama's policy, compared to Trump's

 Mr Farage added: 'To allow this blimp is a step too far.'Mr Khan and Mr Trump have engaged in a long-running war of words over issues like crime and terrorism

The row between the pair began last June when the US President accused Mr Khan of having a 'pathetic' response to the London Bridge terror attack

He tweeted: 'At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack,' the president wrote on his personal Twitter account, 'and Mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!' Speaking about Mr Trump's visit earlier this year, Mr Khan said: 'I think there will be protests, I speak to Londoners every day of the week and I think they will use the rights they have to express their freedom of speech

'But they must be peaceful, they must be lawful.'  He added: 'As the Mayor of London it's probably inappropriate for me to join a protest when foreign leaders come into the UK

'It's important though for me not to be scared to express my views about some of the things he's said

'It's ironic that the architect of the hostile environment policy in this country has invited the architect of the hostile environment policy in the USA to London

 Huge protests are expected in London for the first full day of Mr Trump's visit, which will begin next Thursday night when he flies in from the Nato summit in Brussels

 His three day trip is thought likely to include a dinner with business figures at Blenheim Palace, meeting the Queen at Windsor and talks with Theresa May at her country retreat in Chequers

  Mr Trump is also thought to be keen to play golf at his courses in Scotland.The programme is being designed to ensure Mr Trump avoids London and the expected angry protests

He cancelled a trip last year for fear of demonstrations. Around 50,000 people are expected to march from the BBC building in Portland Place to Trafalgar Square as part of the 'Stop Trump' protest

 .The group stated: 'If we can troll Donald from the skies wherever he goes for long enough, he'll start seeing "TrumpBaby" in his dreams

'   Donald Trump UK visit: Everything you need to know  Donald Trump will finally fly into the UK for his first visit as US President next week

  Mr Trump will arrive in Britain on Thursday night following a high stakes Nato summit in Brussels at which EU allies fear he could threaten the alliance

A major row over defence spending could overshadow his visit to the UK.  Once he reaches Britain, he is expected to stay for three days for a 'working' visit

The trip is not the full State Visit Theresa May offered last year but he is expected to meet the Queen

Because it is a working trip, he is covering his own costs - though Britain will spend millions on security

   Why did Trump cancel his UK visit in February 2017? Theresa May first invited Trump to the UK after she visited him days after his inauguration, becoming the first foreign leader to see the new President and Scotland Yard Chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe let slip that Trump would be visiting in June,In February 2017, it was revealed that Trump had decided to delay the visit amid snubs from MPs and in order to avoid protests

In addition to this, the trip was again postponed because of widespread dismay of his travel ban on citizens from Muslim-majority countries

Trump was also due to come to the UK in February of this year to open the new US embassy, but a poll revealed that 4 percent of people, around two million, said they would join a protest if he was given a full state visit

Is Melania coming to the UK with Trump?It is expected that the First Lady will join her husband in the UK

Will Trump meet the Queen? Windsor Castle is set to be closed to the public on July 13, suggesting that this is when Trump will meet the Queen, but details have not been confirmed

Ambassador Woody Johnson told Sky: 'Yes, yes, I mean he has to see the head of state

'Putting his foot on British soil, it's job one, it's very important, very symbolic

Meeting Her Majesty is the most important thing, because she's the head of state, and from then on, it'll be what the president wants to do

'The Coldstream Guards, the oldest regiment in the British Army, are also rumoured to honour the Trumps on their arrival but Buckingham Palace has not confirmed the arrangements

What will Trump discuss with Theresa May?Trade tariffs are expected to be the most discussed topic during Trump's visit to the UK, especially after a call with the President left Theresa May branding his decision 'unjustified'

A statement released after this phone call said: 'The prime minister raised the US decision to apply tariff to EU steel and aluminium imports, which she said was unjustified and deeply disappointing

'The prime minister said the US, UK and EU are close national security allies and we recognise the importance of the values of open and fair trade across the world

The prime minister also underlined the need to safeguard jobs that would potentially be affected by the decision

'May and Trump are also thought to talk about the President's border policy after the Prime Minister said that the policy was 'inhumane'

May told MPs in the Commons last week that 'when we disagree with the United States, we tell them so

''But we also have key shared interests. It is right that we are able to sit down and discuss those with the president - a president of a country with which we will continue to have a long-standing special relationship

' Will Trump play golf on his UK visit?Trump may spend a couple of days at the end of his visit at one of his golf courses in Scotland or the Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen

However, this decision has not been welcomed by the country's politicians.Scotland has told the UK government that it should foot the president's £5 million security bill if the President should choose to visit a golf course, before he travels to Helsinki to see the Russian president Vladimir Putin

Scotland's Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf wrote to UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid and said that the country does not want to settle the bill

He tweeted: 'He is coming as a guest as the UK government, they must not leave Police Scotland with a £5m bill

'When is Donald Trump's next visit to the UK? Trump's next visit has been planned for the 75th anniversary of VE Day in May 2020

Speculation also suggests that Trump will be in the UK for when Britain officially leaves the EU on March 29, 2019

  Revealed - full details of Trump's UK trip: US president won't make ANY public appearances in London as he meets May at Chequers and the Queen at Windsor on visit with MelaniaDonald Trump will not make any public appearances in London when he comes to the UK next week - amid a massive security operation

The US president and First Lady Melania will touch down in Britain on Thursday for his first visit since entering the White House

Huge protests have been threatened that could see 50,000 take to the streets of the capital, while a big orange 'Baby Trump' blimp has been given permission to fly

 The bill for the American leader's three-day trip is expected to be around £30million as 10,000 police officers are deployed to keep the US commander-in-chief from trouble

  Trump's £1.2 million Cadillac 'The Beast' has been flown over in one of the world's largest military planes - the Super Galaxy C5

   Meanwhile US Navy carrier, the gigantic USS Harry S Truman, will dock in the south coast as back up

 However, fresh details of the long-awaited visit issued by Downing Street confirm that Mr Trump will spend only minimal time in London

Instead he will be feted by Mrs May at a dinner for business leaders being held on Thursday night at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, the ancestral home of his hero Winston Churchill

The next day he will have tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle and talks with the Prime Minister at her country retreat, Chequers

Mrs Trump, meanwhile, will be given her own sightseeing tour, hosted by Theresa May's husband Philip

It has also emerged that Mr Trump will spend the majority of his three-day trip in Scotland, where his mother was born and where he owns two golf courses

 Many Tory MPs are delighted that Mr Trump is finally coming to the UK. There is a growing backlash against the anti-Trump protests, with more than 10,000 people signing a petition calling for a blimp of London Mayor Sadiq Khan to be flown above London next week

Asked whether the President was aware of planned protests, the US ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson said: 'I think we are all aware of these things but the President is focused on what his objectives are

 'He appreciates free speech, both in this country and in our country. It is one of the things that bind us together

 'This is a short trip. It is absolutely packed with things that he has to do. There is a lot of organisation and planning that went into it

 'He will be spending a lot of time in central London, using that as a base. 'The President is not avoiding anything

The President is merely trying to get as impactful a trip as he can get in a 24-hour period

'  Downing Street denied the itinerary was deliberately designed to shield Mr Trump from the public

A spokesman pointed out that several other leading figures had been hosted at Chequers in the past, including US presidents Richard Nixon and George W Bush, and, last year, French President Emmanuel Macron

The spokesman said the Prime Minister was 'looking forward to making sure the president has the opportunity to experience the UK beyond London'

But the itinerary means Mr Trump will be unable to tick of some of the highlights he had indicated he wants to, including a visit to Buckingham palace and a tour of the Cabinet War Rooms

No 10 defended the right of the public to protest peacefully, but added: 'The majority of the British people understand the importance of the UK-US relationship

'Mr Trump will arrive in Europe on Wednesday where he is expected to read the riot act to European leaders about their failure to spend more on defence

When the summit finishes on Thursday he will fly straight to the UK, accompanied by a huge security operation

 The US President, who has a love of ceremony, will be greeted in the stately home's Great Court by the bands of the Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards, who will play the Liberty Fanfare, Amazing Grace, and the National Emblem

During dinner, the Countess of Wessex's String Orchestra (part of the Corps of Army Music) will perform a series of classic British and American hits

He will then travel to Winfield House for the night. The mansion stands in 12 acres of grounds in Regent's Park – the second biggest garden in central London after Buckingham Palace – and will be crawling with armed security guards on the night of Mr Trump's visit

On Friday morning, President Trump and Mrs May will watch a joint military training exercise involving British and American forces before heading to Chequers for a working lunch

Talks are expected to focus on the US-EU trade war, post-Brexit trade, Nato and security co-operation

But Mrs May will also come under pressure to tackle the US President over controversial domestic policies, like the caging of immigrant children, and his inflammatory remarks about women and Muslims

Sources said they expected the talks to be 'full and frank'. Downing Street is nervous about the visit, particularly as it comes sandwiched between what looks set to be a fractious Nato summit and Mr Trump's extraordinary planned summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki

Relations between the two leaders have cooled dramatically since last year's love-in at the White House when Mrs May invited the new US President for a full state visit just days after he was sworn in

In a Channel 4 documentary, to be aired on Monday, a senior official at the US embassy in London talks about the strained relations that now exist

Matt Goshko, the deputy head of public affairs, said: 'It is no secret that there is some concern about the relationship between the Prime Minister and the President

'Next week's visit will lack the pomp and ceremony of a full state visit. Royal involvement will be limited to tea with the Queen on Friday afternoon at Windsor

The Trumps will then fly to Scotland where the President is expected to play a round of golf at one of his courses with a celebrity

He is also expected to meet Nicola Sturgeon.The President will fly directly from Scotland to Helsinki for his meeting with Mr Putin, which has alarmed Nato allies

 Along with the mass police presence, summer breaks for key intelligence officers have been scrapped and security clearance is granted for US agents in Downing Street

The president is taking no chances as he brings in an arsenal of military hardware and his most tough and trusted staff

 Trump's £1.2 million Cadillac 'The Beast' has been flown over in one of the world's largest military planes - the Super Galaxy C5

   Meanwhile US Navy carrier, the gigantic USS Harry S Truman, will dock in the south coast as back up

A twin rotor Osprey V22 aircraft will be onboard along with Black Hawk helicopters in case the president needs to be extracted quickly

The $4.5billion US carrier, used recently in Syria, was designed to 'project American presence and power off any coast' according to the US navy

The nuclear-powered vessel - which weighs 97,000 tons - is almost as long as the Empire State Building at close to 1,100 feet

 Below the deck hums a small city of over 5,500 people.The early staged are already underway with a week to go under the gargantuan security operation

The first of Trump's bodyguards arrived at RAF Lakenheath, a US Base in Suffolk, last week

Ahead of his visit, the president's personal Sikorsky helicopters, code-named Marine One will arrive

They are expected to be joined by two decoy craft. Britain is still on high alert for a terror attack with hundreds of people linked to terror groups being watched across the nation

A 'walk through, talk through' exercise has been carried out on all routes planned on the trip - so security officers can look for potential weaknesses and cover potential strike areas

 The US will send around forty intelligence officers to work directly with the SAS

A senior security source told the Daily Mirror: 'This visit has been planned for a long time, from heavily armed police and plain clothes special forces sat in unmarked vans to a secondary high readiness force and RAF Chinook helicopters sat on the edge of the capital

'The US are pouring resources into the UK in what will be their biggest ever security operation to this country

'Trump is probably the most divisive US President to come to the UK and as such his presidency has sparked widespread spite and hatred, given his aggressive foreign policies and his touch stance domestically

'He faces multiple threats and that is why the operation to protect him is so vast

Canada Gives Trump The Middle Finger With Massive Tariffs On US Goods - Duration: 3:18.

Canada has announced that they're going to slap an additional $12.5 billion worth of

tariffs on goods coming from the United States into Canada.

Now, that was in response to Donald Trump recently slapping more tariffs on Canada thinking

that he was going to pressure them and muscle them out of these trade wars, and get them

to cave in everything.

The tariffs were also not just on Canada, they were also on goods in the European Union.

In addition to all the tariffs that he's put on China and Canada, just like everybody else

has done, decided to issue a massive middle finger to Donald Trump that said, "We're not

going to be bullied.

Instead, we're going to tax all of the crap coming out of your country."

Here are some of the goods that Canada has slapped the tariffs on.

In addition to aluminum and steel, they've also got whiskey, maple syrup, orange juice,

lawn mowers, and ketchup.

Now, here's the thing.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing.

He thinks that these little trade wars are the same as trying to muscle another business

into selling you their company, you know?

You squeeze them out of a market here, squeeze them out of one there, increase the prices

that they have to pay for things to the point where it's not profitable for them to operate,

so they sell to you.

That's how the business world works, but here in the real world with real people and real

world leaders who actually have just as much power as you, Mr. Trump, you can't do that.

Trump doesn't understand that, and most of his troglodyte followers don't seem to understand

that.

Nobody wins in a trade war.

There is no good outcome for any side in these processes, because what's happening right

now is that thousands of people in this country have already lost their job, and many more

are on the verge of being laid off because of these tariffs.

It's 100% because of these tariffs.

Businesses are saying that they're about to close.

Harley-Davidson has already made the decision to ship their jobs oversees because of these

tariffs.

We are going to see more of that, and again, I cannot say this enough, this has been going

on for less than a month and a half, and we've already seen these very dire consequences

of it.

Can you imagine how bad things are going to be by the time the mid-terms actually roll

around, how many newly unemployed people there are going to be?

How many jobs this country will have lost?

How much economic activity will have been lost?

How many more dips in the stock market we're going to have?

It's all 100% because of Donald Trump.

Congress tried to step in, the democrats tried to step in and pass legislation that would

prevent Donald Trump from imposing these tariffs.

Republicans blocked it, didn't even allow it to come to a vote.

So yeah, Donald Trump owns this.

Democrats tried to fix this.

That is the biggest most important piece of information that every person in this country

needs to take with them when they head to the polls this coming November.

North Korea, U.S. agree to set up working groups for North's denuclearization - Duration: 3:03.

Our top story this afternoon.

It's U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's second day in Pyongyang.... and already some

significant progress seems to have been made.

For more, let's connect to our Foreign Ministry correspondent Lee Ji-won.

Ji-won,... just walk us through what we've learnt so far...

Mark, a second round of talks started at 9 a.m. this morning -- three hours ago -- between

Pompeo and Kim Yong-chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea's Workers' Party's Central

Committee.

The talks are being held at Paekhwawon, the state guesthouse where Pompeo and the rest

of the U.S. delegation stayed overnight.

Some substantial achievements seem to have been made, including the two sides setting

up working groups to deal with "nitty gritty stuff" on North Korea's denuclearization,...

including validation efforts.

This is according to the pool report that quoted State Department spokesperson Heather

Nauert on Saturday, one of the U.S. delegates accompanying Pompeo on his third visit to

the North.

She also said the two sides discussed the repatriation of some 200 remains of American

soldiers who died on the northern side of the peninsula during the Korean War.

As the two chief delegates headed into the meeting, Pompeo said the "complete denuclearization"

of the North,... and building a relationship between the two states is vital for the success

their leaders' demand of them.

Pompeo and Kim Yong-chol agreed there are things they need to clarify.

Meanwhile, Reuters reports, citing the pool report,... that Pompeo left Paekhwawon, to

make a secure phone call to update President Donald Trump on the first round of talks before

heading into the second round.

Ok, so it's good to know that progress is being made... and hopefully those remains

can finally come home soon.

For those who may need a refresher of what happened on Friday,... just tell us what happened

on Pompeo's first day in the North Korean capital....

Yes Mark,... on the first day, the two officials held talks for about three hours and also

had lunch together.

According to the pool report, Kim Yong-chol said the two had very serious discussions

on very important matters on Friday, and jokingly said that Secretary Pompeo might have not

slept well last night.

Pompeo replied that he slept just fine and that he looked forward to today's meetings.

Secretary Pompeo has also been active sharing his time in the North through his Twitter.

He posted photos of him and his team at the negotiating table with comments like his team

has worked "tirelessly to keep the conversation moving forward" since the June 12 summit...

that they've just wrapped up their first meeting of the trip... and that he's proud of his

team's work.

Meanwhile, North Korea's state media reported on Pompeo's visit a day after he arrived in

Pyongyang,... but simply said the two sides are holding high-level talks to carry out

the agreements reached in Singapore between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim

Jong-un.

But whether or not Pompeo will be meeting with Kim Jong-un has not yet been confirmed.

That's all from me for now.

Back to you.

A Surprising Outcome From The US Midterms | Jawad Mian Expert View | Real Vision - Duration: 2:49.

Our most contrarian view right now, which not necessarily is very high conviction, but

something that's worth discussing because it's so out of consensus currently is that

even though there's increasing belief that Trump faces congressional defeat in the midterms,

we actually see the GOP and Trump keeping both houses of Congress.

So they will maintain their majority in the House and the Senate.

So the consensus, for example, is that given Trump's low approval rating-- below 50%--

that tends to result, looking at historical patterns, about 40 seats lost.

And the Democrats need about 24 in the house to take over a majority, so that doesn't bode

well.

Second thing we know is that the incumbent party tends to do poorly in the midterms,

and the first midterms for a first-term president tend to see a loss of about 32 seats.

The third observation, also, is that a lot of political experts suggest that a lot of

the seats that are toss-ups are in Republican strongholds as well, traditionally.

Which means that you could see more Democratic wins than what we've been used to in the past.

You combine all of these things, and you get a picture where the Republicans are going

to get creamed in the midterms and you will see Democrats take over the House.

And that has a very different set of market implications.

Our observation is that there are a few things that are different about this midterm.

One, even though you've got Trump's approval rating below 50%, it's actually been below

50% throughout his presidency.

And in previous examples where you looked at lower approval ratings and the defeat in

midterms, you've actually seen the president's approval rating go down in the preceding two

years leading up to the election.

In Trump's case, we've actually seen it below 50 the whole time, and you've seen it actually

bottom and rise into midterms.

So, historically, it's a very different pattern of popularity for a president even though

it's below 50% still for Trump, which results, potentially, in a different outcome.

BREAKING: Major OUTBREAK At US Hospital – HAZMAT Evacuation In Progress - Duration: 6:34.

BREAKING: Major OUTBREAK At US Hospital – HAZMAT Evacuation In Progress

We are now getting multiple reports that multiple buildings at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore,

Maryland are under evacuation today because of a hazmat situation which was prompted by

possible broken vials of the disease tuberculosis.

Hospital officials said earlier that they believe an unspecified number of individuals

were exposed to tuberculosis at the hospital at around 12:20 pm EST on Thursday.

The Baltimore City Fire Department is on-scene at 1500 block of Jefferson Street.

Caroline Street is presently closed off to any kind of traffic by auto or pedestrian.

Tuberculosis or TB is a serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs and

the respiratory system.

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets

released into the air via coughs and sneezes.

Sometimes from even 30 feet away.

Here is more on TB via The Mayo Clinic:

"Tuberculosis is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs.

The bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets

released into the air via coughs and sneezes.

Once rare in developed countries, tuberculosis infections began increasing in 1985, partly

because of the emergence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

HIV weakens a person's immune system so it can't fight the TB germs.

In the United States, because of stronger control programs, tuberculosis began to decrease

again in 1993, but remains a concern.

Many strains of tuberculosis resist the drugs most used to treat the disease.

People with active tuberculosis must take several types of medications for many months

to eradicate the infection and prevent development of antibiotic resistance.

Symptoms.

Although your body may harbor the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, your immune system

usually can prevent you from becoming sick.

For this reason, doctors make a distinction between:

Latent TB.

In this condition, you have a TB infection, but the bacteria remain in your body in an

inactive state and cause no symptoms.

Latent TB, also called inactive TB or TB infection, isn't contagious.

It can turn into active TB, so treatment is important for the person with latent TB and

to help control the spread of TB.

An estimated 2 billion people have latent TB.

Active TB.

This condition makes you sick and can spread to others.

It can occur in the first few weeks after infection with the TB bacteria, or it might

occur years later.

Signs and symptoms of active TB include:

Coughing that lasts three or more weeks.

Coughing up blood.

Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing.

Unintentional weight loss.

Fatigue.

Fever.

Night sweats.

Chills.

Loss of appetite.

Tuberculosis can also affect other parts of your body, including your kidneys, spine or

brain.

When TB occurs outside your lungs, signs and symptoms vary according to the organs involved.

For example, tuberculosis of the spine may give you back pain, and tuberculosis in your

kidneys might cause blood in your urine.

When to see a doctor.

See your doctor if you have a fever, unexplained weight loss, drenching night sweats or a persistent

cough.

These are often signs of TB, but they can also result from other medical problems.

Your doctor can perform tests to help determine the cause.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people who have an increased

risk of tuberculosis be screened for latent TB infection.

This recommendation includes:

People with HIV/AIDS.

IV drug users.

Those in contact with infected individuals.

Health care workers who treat people with a high risk of TB.

Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic.

Causes.

Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that spread from person to person through microscopic

droplets released into the air.

This can happen when someone with the untreated, active form of tuberculosis coughs, speaks,

sneezes, spits, laughs or sings.

Although tuberculosis is contagious, it's not easy to catch.

You're much more likely to get tuberculosis from someone you live with or work with than

from a stranger.

Most people with active TB who've had appropriate drug treatment for at least two weeks are

no longer contagious.

HIV and TB Since the 1980s, the number of cases of tuberculosis

has increased dramatically because of the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Infection with HIV suppresses the immune system, making it difficult for the body to control

TB bacteria.

As a result, people with HIV are many times more likely to get TB and to progress from

latent to active disease than are people who aren't HIV positive.

Drug-resistant TB.

Another reason tuberculosis remains a major killer is the increase in drug-resistant strains

of the bacterium.

Since the first antibiotics were used to fight tuberculosis more than 60 years ago, some

TB germs have developed the ability to survive, and that ability gets passed on to their descendants.

Drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis emerge when an antibiotic fails to kill all of the

bacteria it targets.

The surviving bacteria become resistant to that particular drug and frequently other

antibiotics as well.

Some TB bacteria have developed resistance to the most commonly used treatments, such

as isoniazid and rifampin.

Some strains of TB have also developed resistance to drugs less commonly used in TB treatment,

such as the antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones, and injectable medications including amikacin,

kanamycin and capreomycin.

These medications are often used to treat infections that are resistant to the more

commonly used drugs."

Sadly TB had almost been eradicated in the U.S. during the 70's and 80's but in the

90's when we had an almost open border policy with most underdeveloped nations under President

Bill Clinton the disease made a comeback in the U.S.

Which begs you to ask the why aren't we at least testing the people who come here

legally, which is something we used to do until the late 90's.

If you wanted to move here, even legally you had to have a full physical and all kinds

of tests for a broad spectrum of diseases, from AIDS to Tuberculosis.

If it was contagious they would test for it.

Until some power that be decided it was "inhumane" to test immigrants and decided to just open

the door to whatever disease was around to plague our nation

What are the ripple effects of a U.S.-China trade war? - Duration: 7:52.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The world's two largest economies have moved beyond rhetoric and threats to

a trade war.

Both the U.S. and China launched new tariffs against each other today.

The Trump administration imposed its new fees on Chinese goods at midnight.

China retaliated immediately.

Amna Nawaz looks at the strategies of both sides and the potential consequences.

AMNA NAWAZ: President Trump set into motion 25 percent tariffs on more than 800 Chinese

imported goods, including aircraft engines, industrial machinery and parts for electronics,

to name just a few.

Now, China hit back with tariffs of its own on more than 500 U.S.-made goods, some of

which target areas of the country that voted heavily for Mr. Trump.

That includes exports like soybeans, pork and corn.

Let's break down how both sides are positioning themselves, and where the impact of the tariffs

will be felt first.

David Honig is an attorney who teaches negotiations at Indiana University.

And Yasheng Huang is a professor who studies the Chinese economy and global business at

the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Thank you both for being here.

David Honig, I want to start with you.

Talk to me about the negotiating style that we have seen so far with President Trump.

You break them down into a couple of categories.

One is called distributive bargaining.

That's what we're seeing here.

What does that mean?

DAVID HONIG, Indiana University: Distributive bargaining is really exactly what it sounds

like.

The people in the negotiation are simply deciding how they're going to distribute a limited

pool.

And, otherwise, they have no interests in common.

They're just trying to figure out who gets more slices of the pie or how much a cabinet-maker

is going to get paid off his invoice for the person who put cabinets in a casino.

AMNA NAWAZ: And the flip side of that is integrated bargaining.

How are the two different?

DAVID HONIG: Integrative bargaining is everything else.

Integrative bargaining exists when there is not a complete lack of interest between the

two, where they may be able to help each other, where there may be a future relationship,

where they may be able to hurt each other, or where they simply may be back at the negotiation

table another time.

AMNA NAWAZ: So, make this real for me in the context we're talking about.

When we're talking about a trade war with China, what have we seen from President Trump

that speaks to you about distributive bargaining?

DAVID HONIG: Well, what I have seen from the president is treating just about every negotiation

as something that is distributive.

It's complete win-lose.

It is take it or leave it, without the appearance at least of a recognition that we're going

to come back to the table another time and that we have mutual interests.

AMNA NAWAZ: Professor Huang, let's talk about the flip side of this now.

We see where President Trump seems to be coming from in negotiating style and tactics.

From what we have seen from China's action and response, what seems to be their strategy

to the trade war?

YASHENG HUANG, MIT Sloan School of Management: I think their strategy is the integrated bargaining,

as Mr. Honig described.

They did signal that they wanted to reach an agreement with the Trump administration.

First, they talked about making concessions on the trade front, buying more goods from

the United States to narrow the trade imbalances between the two countries.

Then they actually took the step of lowering tariffs on goods critical to American companies,

automobiles, and trucks and the whole range of products.

They also at least signaled that they were willing to talk about I.P. issues, intellectual

property rights issues, the entry by the foreign firms in the Chinese market, financial sector,

and other issue areas.

But they didn't get a positive response from the Trump administration, precisely because

the strategy pursued by the Trump administration is kind of a take it or leave it.

That doesn't really leave the Chinese with much room to maneuver.

AMNA NAWAZ: David Honig, now that we are where we are, in the sort of tit-for-tat with tariffs,

talk about the ripple effects.

The U.S. imposes tariffs, it leads the Chinese tariffs, just with soybeans as an example,

right?

Now, China, we know, has canceled those soybean orders.

They are nearly a third of the entire soybean crop purchasing power there.

That's a big hit to the U.S. economy.

What next?

Where does the ripple effect go from there?

DAVID HONIG: It is a big hit, and it shows the danger of treating something that's distributive

that truly isn't.

So what we see is, we not only see damage to American farmers, because they're not able

to sell their soybeans, but what happened next is, China bought their soybeans from

Russia, they tripled their purchases from Russia.

The ripple effect beyond that is not only is Russia now buying selling soybeans -- selling

soybeans, and American farmers are losing them, but Russia is now getting hard currency.

So if you go outside trade and look at America's ability to project its power, now sanctions

are going to be less effective, because our sanctions addressed at Russia go to limiting

their availability for hard currency, and we put them in a situation where they can

get more of that from China.

AMNA NAWAZ: Professor Huang, you seemed to be saying earlier that the two sides are coming

at it with very different approaches.

But, look, President Trump is basically he's doing what he promised he would do.

He's taking that tough style of bargaining and applying it to what has been an uneven

relationship in the past, right, when it comes to the U.S. and China trade balance there.

If nothing has worked to even it out before, maybe could this work now?

YASHENG HUANG: Well, I disagree with the view that the trade imbalance, in and of itself,

is about uneven relationship between the two countries.

The trade imbalance is driven by deep structural economic factors within these two countries.

One country has a very high savings rate.

The other country has a lower savings rate.

But I do want to make it clear that there are objective problems between China and the

United States.

I will view I.P. as an issue, entry of foreign firms into a Chinese market as another legitimate

issue.

The problem that I have with the Trump administration is not so much that they invoke trade war

as a tactic to get the Chinese to come to the negotiating table.

The problem I have is that they are now presumed as an end in and of itself.

And that's very reckless.

To escalate the trade war is going to be bad for the Chinese economy, for sure, but it's

also going to be bad for the U.S. economy, because much of the consumption in this country

is produced by Chinese companies.

A lot of the components sourced by U.S. companies are produced by Chinese companies.

It's going to have a huge ripple effect on the U.S. economy as well.

So it's OK to threaten China with a trade war, but to actually use it is reckless.

AMNA NAWAZ: David Honig, now that they are actually using it, where is the off-ramp?

How does this end?

DAVID HONIG: I don't know.

I'm not sure that they have anticipated an off-ramp.

The same thing happened when they shut down the agreement with Iran and told everybody,

OK, stop buying oil as of November 1, and all of the countries said, we can't, we can't

replace it yet.

And, this week, the U.S. State Department said, OK, well, go ahead and keep buying oil,

because they didn't anticipate an off-ramp.

So I don't know where we get off.

And I think that's why some of us who observe negotiations and certainly Professor Huang,

whose expertise is much deeper in China and trade, are concerned.

AMNA NAWAZ: Professors David Honig and Yasheng Huang, thank you for your time.

DAVID HONIG: Thank you.

YASHENG HUANG: Thank you.

For more infomation >> US-China trade tensions offset by solid June jobs report - Duration: 3:21.

-------------------------------------------

News Wrap: U.S. added 213,000 new jobs in June, Labor Department reports - Duration: 5:50.

JUDY WOODRUFF: In the day's other news: The latest U.S. jobs report shows a resilient

economy, despite fears of a trade war with China.

The Labor Department said that 213,000 new jobs were added in June, exceeding projections.

But the unemployment rate jumped slightly to 4 percent, up from 3.8 percent in May.

The report comes as punitive tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese imports go into effect

today.

Beijing hit back quickly, in what it called -- quote -- "the biggest trade war in economic

history."

We will examine the consequences of a tit-for-tat with China after the news summary.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in North Korea today for more high-level talks

aimed at dismantling the country's nuclear weapons program.

President Trump left a historic summit last month with a broad commitment from North Korean

leader Kim Jong-un to denuclearize, but Pompeo said he hopes to -- quote -- "fill in the

details."

The secretary of state will stay overnight in Pyongyang.

It is unknown whether he will meet with Kim himself.

Challenging negotiations also played out in Vienna, where the remaining members of the

2015 Iran nuclear deal tried to keep Iran from walking away from the agreement.

The countries' foreign ministers described a broad package of measures to boost Iran's

economy, but they acknowledged it was hard to counteract U.S. sanctions reimposed on

Iran after President Trump pulled out of the deal in May.

HEIKO MAAS, German Minister of Justice and Consumer Protection (through translator):

We will not be able to compensate for everything that arises from companies pulling out of

Iran, which feel their American business threatened by sanctions.

Due to the U.S. sanctions, the situation has become difficult, but we try to make clear

to Iran that completely abandoning the deal would cause even more harm also to Iran's

economy.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said yesterday that the proposed economic

measures do not go far enough to ensure oil revenues and foreign investment for Tehran.

In Northern Thailand, the effort to save 12 boys and their soccer coach trapped in a cave

appears even more perilous after a rescue diver died overnight.

The team is located about 2.5 miles into the partially flooded cave complex, a 12-hour

journey from the entrance.

Officials say the diver, Samarn Kunan, succumbed to dropping oxygen levels inside the cave.

MAN (through translator): The conditions in the cave are tough.

Samarn fell unconscious on his way back from where the boys are.

His buddy tried to administer first aid, but he didn't respond.

I can guarantee that we will not panic, we will not stop our mission, we won't let his

life be in vain.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Rising water levels are also threatening the operation, with heavy rains

expected this weekend.

In Southwest Syria, rebel forces agreed to surrender Daraa province after a punishing

government offensive backed by Russian airstrikes.

The Syrian military took control of the Nasib border crossing with Jordan, which the opposition

had held for three years.

Meanwhile, the International Rescue Committee warned of a worsening refugee crisis; 30,000

people have fled their homes since the offensive began in June.

U.S. Representative Jim Jordan is facing a rising tide of accusations that he turned

a blind eye to sexual abuse at Ohio State University.

Five former wrestlers at the school have now come forward to say that Congressman Jordan

knew about a team doctor's abuse when he was a coach there In the 1990s.

The Republican lawmaker denies any knowledge of the incidents, and the president said yesterday

that he believes him 100 percent.

In Indiana, top Republicans are calling on Attorney General Curtis Hill to resign after

four women accused him of sexual harassment.

The women, including a state representative, say that Hill groped them at an Indianapolis

bar in march.

Yesterday, Indiana's governor and two GOP Statehouse leaders said the Republican attorney

general should step down.

Hill has denied the allegations and refused to resign.

Across the Western U.S., bone-dry heat and strong winds are fueling some 60 wildfires.

Authorities said that one person died in a fire in Hornbrook, California, near the Oregon

border.

In Southwest Colorado, the third largest fire in state history is now 35 percent contained,

but another near Aspen continued to spread, forcing more evacuations.

Governor John Hickenlooper toured the affected areas today.

GOV.

JOHN HICKENLOOPER (D), Colorado: When you get this many fires at one time, you obviously

stretch your resources.

And I think what we have been doing, and I think what we saw here in the last couple

of days, was prioritizing those places where we have the greatest risk.

We have more resources active in this, in this state right now than I think -- I would

have to follow up -- I think that we have ever had in history.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And to Wall Street today, where the Dow Jones industrial average gained 99

points to close at 24456.

The Nasdaq rose 102 points, and the S&P 500 gained 23.

For the week, the Dow gained less than 1 percent.

The Nasdaq rose 2.5 percent.

The S&P 500 rose 1.5 percent.

Still to come on the "NewsHour": consequences of the U.S. trade war with China; immigrants

who have joined the military in limbo; President Trump makes light of the MeToo movement; and

much more.
