Just hours before the temporary exemptions from the U.S. steel and aluminum import tariffs
were set to expire, the White House announced exemption extension for key allies.
Washington also confirmed Seoul is granted a permanent exemption from steel tariffs.
Kim Hyesung gets us up to speed with the developments.
South Korea has been granted permanent steel tariff exemptions from the U.S.
This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump authorized modifications to the U.S. steel
and aluminum tariff measures.
In a statement Monday local time, the White House said it has reached a final agreement
with South Korea on steel exports, the outlines of which were previously announced by the
two countries' trade ministers.
Seoul secured its permanent exemption by agreeing to quotas that will cut its steel exports
by about 30 percent, based on its average annual shipments to the U.S. between 2015
and 2017.
The exception does not apply to aluminum tariffs.
The White House also said it has reached agreements in principle with Argentina, Australia and
Brazil concerning the tariffs, the details of which will be announced shortly.
The U.S. is extending negotiations with the European Union, Canada, and Mexico for 30
days, postponing the temporary exemption deadline to June 1st.
"As of now, it looks like President Trump has got what he had wanted.
A one month extension signals negotiations with the EU, Canada and Mexico are also well
underway.
Just like South Korea secured its steel tariff exemption while renegotiating the bilateral
trade deal, the U.S. is using the same strategy to win concessions from other countries like
quotas and preventing steel transshipment from China."
In March, President Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff
on aluminum, calling it a measure to limit imports and protect its national security
but it granted temporary exemptions to some of its key allies.
The prolonged exemptions for Canada and Mexico come as the U.S. is working to renegotiate
NAFTA, the free trade agreement between the three countries.

The Dish | How is the All of Us Research Program unique? - Duration: 3:08.
We've had the great opportunity to learn from some giants in the large cohort research programs
which is kind of what the All of Us Research Program is as well, but I'm hoping that we're
gonna give back to that community as well because we are trying some bold new things
that quite frankly are kind of unprecedented at the scale and diversity of things we're
aiming for the fences in with this study.
There's kind of four areas, I mean people ask me how are you kind of unique, and I said
the first is really the diversity of people
that we're trying to bring into this large cohort program.
Getting geographic diversity, people from all walks of life,
all around the country is fundamental to the science that we want to be able to do.
As is, people with a mix of health status, so not too many people of one disease versus another,
but a real wide range of people, including many of people who are healthy, as well as
demographics, right, we are focused on under represented in biomedical research.
Those age groups, those people living in rural communities,
most races and ethnicities who have been kind
of left behind from traditional biomedical research, pulling them in so we have new scientific
data and understanding.
And learning how to do a diverse cohort like that will be a learning not just for us, but
all of our partners, and future partners that you can imagine.
The second is really participant centeredness, and this has been done on many smaller scale studies,
but never at the scale of one million people.
We are inviting participants to sit on our governance and help decide
which direction should we go in.
Participate, and brainstorm about the science and the health conditions
that matter to their communities that they want this resource to help facilitate.
Not only that but we are committed to giving information back to participants, very few
studies do this because it's hard, it's expensive, it's ethically challenging,
but it's the right thing to do.
You deserve the data that we capture about you.
You deserve information about your own health.
The other pieces of this are like innovation of very new things that haven't been done
at this large before.
One of those is whole genome sequencing.
There are many studies starting to do whole genome sequencing,
but putting in and saying "Hey, we're gonna do this for a million people."
Just the data size of this creates enormous cost and challenges
just to store your data in a secure and safe place.
The others are kind of like,
"Hey, there's all these mobile phones out there,
we're starting to use them in some scientific studies."
"There's all of these apps and things."
"Is the data coming from your fitness wearable really useful for research?"
We're tackling that problem head on and the learnings that
we have will help many of those who come after us.
And the last piece of this is our accessibility as a program to researchers.
We are making an open resource available to everyone.
All kinds of researchers from citizen scientists to the top academic schools that you see
sometimes winning Nobel Prizes.
We want everybody. The more sort of brain power per problem that scientists
can bring to this, the better.
And opening up that data, and really making it easy
for lots of people to use,
I believe will help accelerate the science and the breakthroughs that we as patients
are all desperately waiting for.

Blue House welcomes Trump's consideration of Panmunjom as possible venue for U.S.-Pyongyang summit - Duration: 0:54.
The Blue House says that... if Panmunjom were chosen as the venue for the Washington-Pyongyang
summit,... it would serve as a meaningful site to mark a "new milestone of peace."
The comments by South Korea's top office on Tuesday came in response to a recent tweet
by U.S. President Donald Trump, which hinted at the border village as a possible venue
for his meeting with Kim Jong-un in May or early June.
Meanwhile, a Blue House official said Monday that President Moon Jae-in prepared and handed
over some materials related to his vision for economic cooperation between the two Koreas
to his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-un, during their summit.
Apparently, President Moon said he gave Kim a booklet and a thumb drive containing a presentational
video about the so-called "New Economic Map Initiative of the Korean Peninsula," which
promotes economic cooperation between Seoul and Pyongyang

Border agents react to migrants demanding entry into the US - Duration: 5:29.
message for customs and border protection rejecting asylum seekers who
tried to present themselves at the port of entry you know what you're doing you
know you turn people away you complain that they are breaking the law by
answering you legally you are breaking the law and you are forcing them to
break the law that's why we have Caravan all right that's assuming that everyone
in this caravan hundred strong that they're all seeking asylum and they were
all abused elsewhere others cynically look at this and say well wait a minute
that can't be Mexico just let you waltz right through to the border and that's
where we are right now Hector Garza is vice president of the
National Border Patrol Council she more or less put the onus on guys like you
that you're the ones screwing up not paying attention to the law not those
trying to whatever reason of forcing your way in this country to be above it
yeah that's correct Nino as ages we're out there doing our job as best as we
can and we're out there to enforce the laws that Congress passed electing these
people are going through the port of entry and asking for these asylum claims
and they're gonna have to wait while their claims get adjudicated by the
judges I think what's important now is that now our government has to send
these judges to the border so these claims can be educated quickly and these
people can either be given asylum or that they be deported back to their
countries that's what we're gonna have to do Hector it might be a guess on your
part but you deal with this and have dealt in the past with this sort of
thing how many of these do you think are legitimate asylum cases the vast
majority don't even come from Mexico many from Honduras they're seeking a
refuge from that country after the election I guess that's the argument
that they want protection and security so how many would fit that bill needing
and deserving of asylum well what we do is ages is that we process is ages
aliens when we catch them in the on the border when they're crossing illegally
and what we find is that many times the claims that they're making are not
legitimate claims one of the claims that they're making is that they're looking
for better jobs to make better money there's also times that they talk about
that there's a lot of gangs in their country but
same thing could be said about the United States law gangs in the United
States as well and many times these these aliens go to these areas that are
where they are victimized not something you have to keep in mind you is that the
the economic conditions in these countries in Central America have not
changed but what does change is the number of people that come from these
are countries and it all depends on the rhetoric and it depends on
catch-and-release and it depends on what happened what's happening on the US
border so that's where you see the kind of difference of the people that are
coming here into the United States you see these sort of waves that come
depending on what's happening in the United States well you know Jeff
Sessions the Attorney General says this is a deliberate attempt to undermine our
laws and overwhelm our system that that we just don't have the manpower to deal
with wave after wave of this and you know you set a court date you you you
make an agreement for someone to return to court to deal with these issues there
in the country now we're saying that Mexico should be keeping a good many of
these until it is resolved how likely is that well it's gonna be up to other
United States government on what they're gonna want to do as of right now the US
government is doing the right thing they're only allowing enough people as
our resources can take up so but like we said in the past neil these are
organized efforts by different people that are bringing these people into the
into the united states they want to overwhelm our resources as you can see
right now our CBP officers at the San Ysidro Port of Entry are being
overwhelmed what you're going to see next is that they're going to be
overwhelming our Border Patrol agents as well so it's just an organized effort by
these different groups and like I've said in the past drug cartels are
involved in these type of are organized smuggling activities but what I don't
understand your CBP you're talking about custom and Border Patrol but we have
suggested to the Mexicans that a lot of these folks are gonna have to wait in
Mexico because we're a little bit overwhelmed ourselves with the existing
groups that are already here but Mexico's not responded to this request
Mexico in fact we're told from from when these first this first Caravan was 1400
strong we're told back in March coming here to the point now that they're here
that they've been green-lighted through and cynically that has a lot of people
saying wait a minute you know Mexico is pretty tough at its
own order but but it's green-lighted so many
of these people in to our border what's going on well it's very simple neo the
governor of Mexico is actually eating and abetting these people to come into
the to be smuggling to our country Mexico can very well allow these people
to stay in their country under asylum claims but instead they're facilitating
their travels through Mexico so that they can reach the US border now the
Mexico could do a lot more on this on their southern borders to stop these
illegal immigration they did it a few years back when the United States sent a
whole bunch of money to Mexico and surprisingly they stopped it all of a
sudden now we have President chomping they don't want to help out so that kind
of shows you how for them to govern New Mexico feels about our laws and the way
they they allow these people are coming to our country all right well what's a
closing Hector thank you for taking the time good seeing you again

Trump suggests Panmunjom as possible venue for U.S.-North Korea Summit - Duration: 2:02.
U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested the truce village of Panmunjom as a possible
venue for his landmark summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the coming weeks.
Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.
The truce village of Panmunjom,... where the leaders of the two Koreas renewed their commitment
to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula,... is being considered as a possible venue for
the U.S.-North Korea Summit scheduled for late May or early June.
After meeting with his Nigerian counterpart at the White House on Monday,...
President Trump said the inter-Korean border would be an excellent venue for the summit.
"We're looking at various countries including Singapore, and we are also talking about the
possibility of the DMZ - Peace House, Freedom House.
And there's something that I thought was intriguing...
There's something that I like about it, because you are there.
You're actually there, where if things work out, there's a great celebration to be had,
on the site, not in a third party country."
He also tweeted on Monday that the Peace House or the Freedom House on the inter-Korean border
could be a more representative, important and lasting site than a third party country.
Until late last week,... Trump had said potential summit locations had been whittled down to
two countries,... including Singapore.
But it looks like President Trump discussed the idea of holding the summit at Panmunjom
during his phone talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in following last week's inter-Korean
summit.
After their conversation,... which Trump hailed as long and good,... he also added that things
are going well and the time and location of the meeting is being set.
If Panmunjom is finalized as the venue for the first-ever meeting between the sitting
leaders of the U.S. and North Korea,... the inter-Korean border, which has long been a
symbol of division would likely become a true symbol of peace.

Bill Gates Warns Millions Could Die If US Doesn't Prepare For Coming Pandemic - Duration: 7:37.
Bill Gates Warns Millions Could Die If US Doesn't Prepare For Coming Pandemic
by Tyler Durden
Should a deadly pandemic comparable to the 1918 influenza outbreak reach the US in the
relatively near future, the US government would be powerless to stop it.
And in all likelihood, hundreds of thousands - if not, millions - of Americans will die.
That's the message from a Washington Post interview with Microsoft founder Bill Gates,
which touched on many of the same subjects from a talk he gave Friday before the Massachusetts
Medical Society.
Bill Gates says the U.S. government is falling short in preparing the nation and the world
for the "significant probability of a large and lethal modern-day pandemic occurring in
our lifetimes."
Gates discussed his efforts to convince the Trump administration to set aside more funding
for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and to prioritize the creation of a national
response plan that would govern how resources are deployed during a pandemic or biological
weapons attack.
During the interview, the billionaire who appears to have gotten such a touch eccentric
in his gray years, confirmed that he had raised the issue of pandemic preparedness with President
Trump, and that he tried to convince the president that he has a chance to lead on the issue
of global health security.
According to Gates, Trump told him to raise these issues with officials at the Health
and Human Services Department, the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug
Administration.
Gates said he also met with HR McMaster, who was ousted as National Security Advisor last
month, and he hopes to meet with McMaster's successor John Bolton.
He is probably the only one.
That said, Gates may have a point: Even this winter's flu season - the worst in years - overwhelmed
hospitals, some of which were forced to pitch tents outside the facilities and deploy other
emergency accommodations.
Gates, whose Gates Foundation focuses on public health initiative, has shifted his focus in
recent years to international pandemic awareness and preparation.
To be sure, he's not the only one who believes the developed world is dangerously ill-prepared
to beat back such a threat.
Gates and his wife, Melinda, have repeatedly warned that a pandemic is the greatest immediate
threat to humanity.
Experts say the risk is high, because new pathogens are constantly emerging and the
world is so interconnected.
Many experts agree that the United States remains underprepared for a pandemic or a
bioterrorism threat.
The government�s sprawling bureaucracy, they say, is not nimble enough to deal with
mutations that suddenly turn an influenza virus into a particularly virulent strain,
as the 1918 influenza did in killing an estimated 50 million to 100 million people worldwide.
Even this winter�s harsh seasonal flu was enough to overwhelm some hospitals, forcing
them to pitch tents outside emergency rooms to cope with the crush of patients.
If a highly contagious and lethal airborne pathogen like the 1918 influenza were to take
hold today, nearly 33 million people worldwide would die in just six months, Gates noted
in his prepared remarks, citing a simulation done by the Institute for Disease Modeling,
a research organization in Bellevue, Wash.
So what should the US do according to Gates: the nation needs to prioritize the development
of better vaccines - including a "universal" flu vaccine - and other treatments as well
as new diagnostic capabilities to help doctors detect and identify a pandemic before it has
the opportunity to spread, according to the Microsoft founder.
In those remarks, Gates highlighted scientific and technical advances in the development
of better vaccines, drugs and diagnostics that he said could revolutionize how we prepare
for and treat infectious diseases moving forward.
He praised last year�s formation of a new global coalition, known as CEPI, to create
new vaccines for emerging infectious diseases.
He also announced a $12 million Grand Challenge in partnership with the family of Google Inc.
co-founder Larry Page to accelerate the development of a universal flu vaccine.
But vaccines, he noted, take time to research, deploy and generate protective immunity.
"So we need to invest in other approaches, like antiviral drugs and antibody therapies
that can be stockpiled or rapidly manufactured to stop the spread of pandemic diseases or
treat people who have been exposed," he said in his speech.
Among the advances in these areas are a new influenza antiviral recently approved in Japan
that Gates said "stops the virus in its tracks" by inhibiting an enzyme it needs to multiply;
research on antibodies that could protect against a pandemic strain of a virus; and
a diagnostic test that harnesses the powerful genetic-engineering technology known as CRISPR
and has the field-use potential to check a patient�s blood, saliva or urine for evidence
of multiple pathogens.
That test could, for example, identify whether someone is infected with Zika or dengue virus,
which have similar symptoms.
But even the most cutting-edge remedies are useless without a plan to deploy them, something
Gates says the Trump administration recognizes.
Trump and senior administration officials have affirmed the importance of controlling
infectious disease outbreaks.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is facing a loss of emergency funding provided
in the wake of the 2014 Ebola epidemic and has begun to dramatically downsize its epidemic-prevention
activities in 39 out of 49 countries where disease risks are greatest.
Congress provided additional funding in last month�s spending bill.
But it also directed the administration to come up with a comprehensive plan to strengthen
global health security at home and abroad.
"This could be an important first step if the White House and Congress use the opportunity
to articulate and embrace a leadership role for the U.S.," Gates said in the speech.
No other country, he noted, has the depth of scientific or technical expertise that
the United States possesses, drawing on the resources of institutions such as NIH, CDC
and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, as well as the Defense Department's
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
While Gates's sense of urgency is admirable, other experts on the likelihood of a global
pandemic emerging in the relatively near future make Gates look like a Walt Disney-level optimist.
"We know that it is coming, but we have no way of stopping it," said WHO infectious disease
specialist Dr. Sylvie Brand.
If you haven't already, now would probably be as good a time as any to invest in some
surgical masks.
Unless of course Elon Musk is correct with his own doomsday prediction, and sentient,
AI-capable killer robots have already bought out the entire inventory.

Five: VP PENCE VISIT U.S-MEXICO BORDER-The Five 04/30/18 Fox News Alert - Duration: 6:14.
the caravan of asylum seeking migrants is at America's southern border and as
you can see our current wall in San Diego isn't doing much to stop them from
entering many of the illegal immigrants are now camping out in Mexico after
being turned away by the Trump administration the president is reacting
to this latest development by calling for funding for his big beautiful border
wall we are a nation of laws we have to have borders we're not borders we don't
have a country and I've been watching for weeks as the caravan came up we have
to have changes in Congress and we have to have it quickly we need a wall
number-one and you see that right now you know where they are even though it's
not a particularly good wall and even though a small percentage can climb to
the top they have to be an extremely good shape but a small percentage can
climb that particular wall we have a wall that's much more difficult vice
president pence was on the ground today in California checking out the new
border wall construction Greg you've said this a few times the caravan was
almost designed to help President Trump politically what do you think it's a
terrible visual image for amnesty and an amazing image for people who prefer
process and enforce borders but the most obvious question if this is an asylum
claim why not just stop in Mexico if you were truly desperate right you should be
overjoyed to get out of your horrible country and get to Mexico but no you're
saying no Mexico's not enough for me I need to get to the United States that's
insulting New Mexico and it's kind of pushy it's a bit you're cutting in line
I don't know Americans don't like it when you cut in line and when you look
at the groups there's a lot of young able-bodied men showing up and you think
these are not refugees this is a this is a symbolic political gesture that is
backfiring when you see that it's backfiring of all it does is prove that
we need law and order we keep process look at that visual right there I mean
you're right this is made to order anybody that sees this in this country
sees how easy it is to breach our southern border Kimberly look at that
and the minute they step foot on American soil they're entitled to a
process where then they can go in front of a judge and claim that they're scared
to return to Honduras yeah that's a problem you know so
everybody but when people are desperate and they're trying to flee their
countries they'll juice about anything for
themselves and for their family when you have that kind of sense of desperation
how where will I work tomorrow how will I feed my children so that's why you
have mothers pregnant mothers even going coming over here and they or they listen
if I I hear that if I come over and I can give birth in the United States then
my child can stay there and hopefully then the rest of the family can come
that is their business plan that is the business plan and of course the this is
a country founded on immigrants wonderful people from all over the world
so we want to have open arms and be welcoming but we want to do it with an
eye towards public safety and national security and securing the border because
it makes for a safer situation for everyone and for a lawful process that
should be followed and abided by so I mean the president's fulfilling his
campaign promises we understand his reasoning and then it's also important
if you're gonna try to work on it to make it more of a you know a cooperative
understanding what's going on here they've got to come in to the laws to
enjoy the benefit of being in this country but follow the law first before
you get it right so you want to be compassionate but also fair right and
tough one so people yeah right he wants a merit-based immigration - and that's
important when you see these images well this isn't there's not about merit-based
exactly not this is about asylum and remember Greg that in fact this caravan
which is an annual event I think for the last five years or so
most of the people did stop in Mexico you have about 50 people who are trying
to get in here and what they want to do is to force the United States to give
them an asylum right hearing and they believe that based on the evidence of
not only political instability but actual violence oftentimes perpetrated
by gangs and the like that they have a case to be made and that's why you have
American lawyers on the other side of the fence giving them counseling about
what to say how to handle the asylum situation but I agree with you guys I
think this is tailor-made for President Trump and people who are anti-immigrant
to say hey you know the borders I illegal and no no because remember Trump
a proposal was to cut legal immigration to the United States
once merit-based no not the lottery excuse me he didn't it didn't matter
merit or nightmare he wanted to cut legal immigration as a result of merit
no no no he just wants to cut every evil he even wants to cut people who are
qualified for legal merit-based immigration so the president also says
he wants to get more funding for the wall next time in the fall wants to shut
the government down if he doesn't get it yeah so September 28th that's all
setting up for a really big midterm election campaign issue I think that
this video is an in-kind contribution to Trump and his you might have to check
out what those contribution limits are down there I do think that the president
could be in a position now whence these people will not all get in they'll have
to go back but one thing that he could do he's on like a foreign policy role
right now and he's had some really good meetings with world leaders and these
people in El Salvador Nicaragua Costa Rica etc that have these problems just
like we've been saying about Syria if you help solve the problem at its source
and if the issue is law and order if the president can figure out a way to help
them with their law and order problem people won't want to leave home yeah we
definitely need to focus on Central America a little bit more all right I
had America round of excuses from MSNBC host joy read her pals in the liberal
media of course rushing to her defense the hypocrisy up next
made deep long-lasting pain relief

Trump suggests Panmunjom as possible venue for U.S.-North Korea Summit - Duration: 2:10.
Various countries seem to be under consideration as the backdrop for the maiden Washington-Pyongyang
meeting.
Most recently, U.S. President Donald Trump did mention the truce village of Panmunjom
as a possible venue as well.
Once again we would like to remind you there are many names being tossed and there are
no official confirmation on a decision yet.
Kim Hyo-sun has the latest.
The truce village of Panmunjom,... where the leaders of the two Koreas renewed their commitment
to establish peace on the Korean Peninsula,... is being considered as a possible venue for
the U.S.-North Korea Summit scheduled for late May or early June.
After meeting with his Nigerian counterpart at the White House on Monday,...
President Trump said the inter-Korean border would be an excellent venue for the summit.
"We're looking at various countries including Singapore, and we are also talking about the
possibility of the DMZ - Peace House, Freedom House.
And there's something that I thought was intriguing...
There's something that I like about it, because you are there.
You're actually there, where if things work out, there's a great celebration to be had,
on the site, not in a third party country."
He also tweeted on Monday that the Peace House or the Freedom House on the inter-Korean border
could be a more representative, important and lasting site than a third party country.
Until late last week,... Trump had said potential summit locations had been whittled down to
two countries,... including Singapore.
But it looks like President Trump discussed the idea of holding the summit at Panmunjom
during his phone talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in following last week's inter-Korean
summit.
After their conversation,... which Trump hailed as long and good,... he also added that things
are going well and the time and location of the meeting is being set.
If Panmunjom is finalized as the venue for the first-ever meeting between the sitting
leaders of the U.S. and North Korea,... the inter-Korean border, which has long been a
symbol of division would likely become a true symbol of peace.
Kim Hyo-sun, Arirang News.
