class= nosel > with jake tapper, we days at for on cnn wildfires i have covered a lot of them. they are fast and deadly disasters. cnn s original series, violet earth with lives schreiber takes a look at if there is a way to protect homes and families. here s a look paradise, california burned from an ember attack, from a plume miles away from paradise this is like 9:00 in the morning and its pitch black given the smoke, it almost appeared as though it was the middle of the night and it was snowing ash and embers began to rain down we re in the middle the stapes, dan here like that i don t know to say if anywhere the fire was moving at a football field per second what in the way it did that, of course, was by jumping ahead and starting these fires they would immediately take hold and rapidly grow into its hundred acre, 200 acres spotfire that was happening all through town that resulted in the town starting to burn all at once, 30,000 people were trying to be evacuated while b
the other thing is that he met with the north and south koreans together, so linking the south korean peace process with u.s. negotiations could yield some real dividends. the problem is now all that s left is the hard work. it s this so far i remember rec sill i can t believe problem where kim jong-un is not going to eliminate his nuclear arsenal by the end of trump s first term so we need a more reasonable approach. what, joe, do you think iran is thinking as they look on to all this? does the president at all send some sort of a message that, hey, having nuclear weapons puts iran in a more powerful negotiating position because look what s happening with north korea? it does, it sends exactly that message, alex, that if you have nuclear weapons i will treat you more seriously. i will solicit a meeting with you. but it also tends trump s message which is let s talk. let s talk. you can gain by having talks. the problem is iran is not north korea. they ve seen what trump is doing
korea to dismantle a particular site, if not declare all of them. in exchange for some sanctions relief and a big gift, a declaration for the end of the korean war. it s i m hearing that that is one of the likely outcomes of this summit, but we re still about four weeks away. now, that itself would be a big reversal from the original position which was that the u.s. position was, you declare and you denuclearize before we start lifting sanctions. it was hard enough to get the world together on sanctions. right. that is completely unrealistic. we have to accept that we re not going to get this grand slam that john bolton or mike pompeo want, that the north koreans unilaterally give up anything before we do anything. that s not going to happen. so the best outcome for this summit is a step-by-step process. they start dismantling. we relax sanctions so the north and south koreans can start cooperation.

and of course, it puts the south koreans in a slightly more difficult situation as the president, moon jae-in, is going to pyongyang next month, meeting in another summit with king jeong-eun. and certainly, what he wants to see is this dual-track approach that at the same time the north and south koreans are getting closer, the u.s. and north korea are getting closer as well. but interestingly, from the u.s. president, we also saw somewhat of a good cop-bad cop within the same tweet, at the same time as saying not enough progress is being made, he also said he sent his warmest regards and respects to kim jong-un and said that he hopes to see him soon. but it s not really a surprise that the u.s. president is now acknowledging that there is very little progress being made towards does nuclearization. it s what we have heard all along from most experts, most notably and recently from the iaea, the nuclear watchdog, saying there are some great concerns about the activities going on at som
