A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. The government and for manafort to keep things moving along. They did. That is the same judge that challenged the special counsels office and accused them of just trying to use charges of financial crimes to squeeze manafort in giving them information that they could use against President Trump. The trial proceeded anyway and the former Trump Campaign manager that was a wakened by an fbi agent performing a noknock raid is being confronted with evidence that he hit 60 million from the irs which he received consulting ukrainian politicians. The charges are for falsifying income tax returns, bank fraud and failing to file reports. If convicted, manafort could face 305 years in jail. Theres Sentencing Guidelines for federal cases like that that would suggest that the judge would probably give him something less than that, shep. Shepard what is the next step in this trial, peter . Any minute, shep, we expect
the jury,
said the nuclear threat was over and had its meeting with kim jong-un. said they were going to denuclearize and work on the road to that. then they withhold information from the public about the real activities of north korea in an effort to deceive us? well, i think they re probably i wouldn t say they re shepard: trying to make president president trump said seem true? probably trying to create this good atmosphere for talks with kim jong-un. i don t think will work. the way that you get the north koreans to give up the weapons is to give them no chance. not win them over. that we have seen in administration after administration just doesn t work. the way you get the north koreans to do something is you force them to do it. shepard: they re expanding the missile production in the same place where they were making missiles, the icbms that could reach the united states in theory, right? yes. these are the ones that the north korean fired on november 29.
points of their foreign policy. and the reason is obvious. it was just way too hard. that s allowed the north koreans to build icbms to. build potentially as many as six nuclear weapons. 5,000 tons of chemical weapons. so president trump circumstantiaessentially americt and made it asia first. that s the big difference here answered deserves all the credit for that. brian: from where we are right now. we have been here before. now we have a very liberal in south korea who is over there is he going to be invited back in april to have another leader to lead the meeting. is he pushing for us to do something and maybe answer. they said they will put their nuclear program on hold. they don t promise to stop making missiles. they, of course, their ultimate goal is to get us to withdraw from the peninsula because their national security would no longer be at stake. we have not shelved any war games that we prom missed to do this spring. so what would be the right next step for this administra

this gives a good indication of what kju is atemperaturing to do. he wants to maintain the kim dynasty and continue to threaten others and has a lot of support from his population to do that. will, you were there during these parade shows we ve been watching on the video. talk to us about what you witnessed firsthand. what exactly did they roll out and how concerning should it be? well, it certainly is an ominous sight they actually appear larger in person, everything from scud missiles to the submarine launch ballistic missiles that we saw tested last year and perfected to the land-based missiles that can be launched from a mobile launcher. then at the end of the missile display were the very large missiles that i ve never seen before. they weren t in any of our research materials that we were looking over trying to identify
