Officials from seoul and pyongyang will host an interkorean summit next month, this is following a round of talks that saw kim jongun meet with high ranking south korean officials including the president there. For more on the major developments i am joined by Cnn Asia Pacific editor andrew stevens. Tell us what youre learning. Reporter well, it is such a lot to take in all at once, brianna.

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Fraudulent Accounting Tricks that they use to convince banks to give them more money and Paul Manafort was cced on these emails. There is something here as i read testimony of the case and paged through some of the bits of evidence the government has entered, julia, that there is a desperation that is almost cinematic. You can feel wafting off the emails. That these are people that are scrounging and starved for cash. Desperation is the word, im glad you used that. That is the one word that the prosecution wants to have sticking in the jurors mind when they deliberate. This was a man desperate enough when he works with these shady characters. He would have put his whole family and business at risk because he was so desperate. He got to a point where he might not have been able to pay Health Care Premiums but still wanted to fund the lifestyles and keep the house in the hamptons. A man that was desperate, and wanted to keep up his image. Desperat
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Reporters, Julia Ainsley and tyranny snead. We have been going back and forth. And i thought ken had the exciting stuff. But i think i had the better day.

And that also time and time again, Paul Manafort both person
Judge tonight is calling the Trump Administration reunification efforts unacceptable. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. At the close of the first week of Paul Manaforts trial, things do not look good for the former Campaign Chairman of the trump campaign. And today in particular, the testimony about manaforts alleged tax evasion and bank fraud took on a Very Human Dimension when his accountant admitted under oath on the stand that she had in fact knowingly falsified Tax Documents in order to save Manafort Hundreds Of Thousands of dollars in taxes. Manaforts accountant, Cindy La Porta testifying i knew it was wrong, i could have refused but that would expose the Accounting Firm to the risk of litigation or i could have called longtime clients liars. I very much regret it. This is the first of two trials of Paul Manafort being brought by special counsel robert

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. The other question is there are still missing facts, which is the phone call don junior made to the blocked number and what happened after the meeting that are going to be really important in determining whether there is, in fact, legal jeopardy. You have to remember this is one data point. Were focused on it because of don juniors testimony, his involvement of the emails that came out. And we have Public Knowledge of it. Exactly. Theres another wrinkle and this came out last week is that there may have apparently been a premeeting and one of the attendees may be rick gates, todays star witness in the manafort trial.
