CARROLL: Well, you led off the context beautifully. But I would not say that he should step back. None of this is loss on Kim Jong-un. He knows that he's dealing with a weakened president, he knows that, frankly, he's got the upper hand. These newly discovered, or I should say publicly discovered missile sites are impo... |
We've always known that the North would have hidden facilities, perhaps more Uranium enrichment missile facilities. I have a more reason to engage with them, all the more reason to continue the conversation, understand what we're dealing with, understand what's possible. Now, do I have high hopes for the second summit?... |
VAUSE: OK. Well, here's the U.S. vice president talking about, you know, the expectations for the second date between, you know, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, here he is. |
MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The president will be announcing details in the days ahead. The meeting that took place this week confirmed there will be a second summit, and at that summit, we'll be laying out our expectation for North Korea to take concrete steps to begin to make real the denucleariz... |
VAUSE: I'm no expert in nuclear negotiations but shouldn't those details have been worked out at the first go around, at the first something. |
CARROLL: Well, at least more details than we did see. But this, again, things don't happen overnight. Much as Donald Trump might like them to or much as he would like to be done with all this. This painstaking, detailed and circuitous art of negotiation in international diplomacy, particularly when it comes to a dictat... |
optimism when it comes to North Korea, just recently talking about his great relationship he has with Kim Jong-un and how great things out. This is a part of what have he said. |
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Now, I say this, North Korea, we're doing very well. And again, no rockets -- there's no rockets, there's no anything. We're doing very well. I've directly spoken to Chairman Kim, and when I came as here, this country was headed to war with North Korea and now, we have a ve... |
[00:35:12] VAUSE: Obviously, no rockets, no nuclear tests -- that's a good thing, but what seems to be lost in the mix here, that by suspending or ending those tests for whatever reason, Kim Jong-un has essentially just agreed to no longer violate international law. The U.N. Security Council has unanimously passed nine... |
CARROLL: Well, they haven't even stopped doing bad stuff as the Center for Strategic and International Science report shows they continue to maintain covert rocket facilities. So, that's not exactly being a good guy. What they're doing is basically consolidating the gains they've he made in a nuclear program and their ... |
And then, they went on the charm offensive with South Korea, with Beijing, and frankly with President Trump, and now they're trying to get as much as they can for nothing in return, exactly as you say. So, this second summit, a big -- you know, a fundamental question is, is it going to be more of the same and Kim Jong-... |
VAUSE: Fool me once, shame on me -- shame on you, whatever George W. Bush said. Paul, good to see you, thank you. OK, well, ominous words of warning from the IMF as global leaders gather for the World Economic Forum in Davos. When every nation is out for itself, the whole world could be bound to suffer. |
VAUSE: In Afghanistan, there is still no official world on the death toll from Monday's Taliban attack on a military training. Officials say, dozens were killed when a Humvee packed with explosives blew up after entering the compound west of Kabul. The attackers then opened fire and sources have told us the death toll ... |
The International Monetary Fund warns the global economy is slowing and trade wars could make it worse. The IMF gave its update as leaders and influencers gathered for the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It also comes amid Brexit fears and the trade dispute between United States and China. Here's how the IM... |
[00:40:01] CHRISTINE LAGARDE, MANAGING DIRECTOR, IMF: The risk of a sharper decline in global growth has certainly increased. Add to this the uncertainty, the geo-political worries and disappointing long-term growth prospect and you have an economy picture with a pretty clear message. And the message is the following. ... |
VAUSE: Well, the IMF waring isn't the only thing which is indicating a rough at Davos. The major world leaders of no-shows, and there are concerns as well, the very concept of globalization could be on life support. CNN's Julia Chatterly explains. |
JULIA CHATTERLY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: High in the Swiss Alps amid the breathtaking vistas and pristine air, the Davos dream of global connectivity and cooperation, is facing a bumpy ride. Some say, it maybe downhill from here for the Davos elites. |
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The vision of Davos, which is that everybody is coming together has really been shattered over the last year. There are so many issues facing globalization right now, in fact, it's hard to think of something positive for globalization. |
TRUMP: Make America great again, right? |
CHATTERLY: It's the fear of every nation out for itself everywhere. |
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In Davos, you're probably going to hear a lot about a tri-polar world. U.S. is going one direction, Europe another, and China and some of the emerging markets are going a third. |
CHATTERLY: Let's call it deglobalization. President Trump seems to embrace it. But be careful what you wish for. |
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: There are two big threats to western-led globalization as we know it. The first is the rise of China with alternative models and political values; the second is the erosion of liberal Democratic institutions from within inside all of these states. |
CHATTERLY: But Davos won't be all doom and gloom. Yes, global growth may be slowing, but the U.S. economy is on solid footing. |
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think we're actually in a good place. |
VAUSE: Thank you for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm John Vause. Please stay with us, "WORLD SPORT" with Kate Riley starts after the break." |
Jesse Calliham, left, Deputy Bud McCurry, center, and Lauren Rainbow are part of Snohomish County's Office of Neighborhoods. The unit's sole focus is working with homeless people who use heroin. Click on this image for more photos. |
Deputy Bud McCurry sets up his laptop in the patrol car. He's heading into a wooded area in South Everett where homeless heroin users have been camping out. |
Two social workers are with him – Jesse Calliham and Lauren Rainbow. They discuss a woman named Shelly, who has six kittens and is on the verge of agreeing to detox. |
For months, the team has been reaching out to Shelly and others in the encampment. The sheriff’s office has given notice and people must move out by the end of the month. Before that happens, McCurry and the social workers are offering to connect them with services. |

McCurry is one of three deputies assigned to the Office of Neighborhoods to deal with homeless encampments that have been popping up around the county: Lake Stevens, Arlington, Marysville, Edmonds. |
County officials hope Proposition 1 will provide relief. If voters approve the sales tax increase, it would generate about $25 million a year. The plan is to hire 35 deputies over the next three years and to add four more social workers in the mix. |
Some money would pay for drug and alcohol treatment. That, plus transitional housing and social services people will need along the way. It’s not the whole solution to a complex problem. |
Sheriff Ty Trenary says it’s not easy to ask voters for more money, but the situation is urgent. |
Since the Office of Neighborhoods was created a year ago, 55 people have completed detox. Thirty-one have graduated from treatment. |
This is not your traditional policing – cops chasing criminals. Deputy McCurry’s role is more like being an ambassador, focused on building relationships. He calls the people in camps "clients," not suspects. It’s an unusual way to fight crime, he says, but the traditional approach hasn’t been effective, especially wit... |
At the site, the first stop is to check on Shelly, the lady with the kittens. The camp is empty. |
“Looks like there’s been a bit of a fire,” Rainbow says. |
Deputy McCurry searches under the charred debris. |
No sign of Shelly. But the kittens are alive. Someone has left them food and water. |
The group heads in to the woods to look for Shelly. Along the way they check up on other campers and offer help. |
Finally they find her. Shelly has been staying with Ryea, a friend at the encampment. |
Ryea tells them Shelly doesn’t want to come out. McCurry reminds her of the deadline to move. Ryea says she’ll be gone tomorrow. McCurry asks if she’s given any thought about getting help. |
“I’m not ready for that,” Ryea says. |
They talk about her pain issues. She’s skeptical she’ll be able to get adequate pain medication. |
McCurry makes another attempt to convince Shelly to accept their help. She declines. Not today. |
Back in the patrol car, McCurry says he’s not discouraged. |
“One day they’ll come out to us and say you know what, I’m ready for some help because they found their own rock bottom,” he says. |
Heavy rain, thunder and lightning curtailed play in the Graham Shield Mixed Graded Fours last Wednesday. |
The format for the Evans Funeral Services-sponsored event was four games of 12 ends or 90 minutes. |
Eleven teams — three of them from other city clubs — entered the tournament, so byes were required. |
After lunch, and with only four ends of Game 3 completed, the weather stopped play. |
Puddles were forming on the carpet and, with more rain threatening, further play was deemed unlikely. It was decided to call off the contest and calculate the results on play up to that point. |
Overall winners, with three wins (including a bye), were Gus McCabe (skip), Ted Mehrtens, Tony Steele and Barbara Gibson, of the Gisborne club. |
Controllers used ends won and points differential to establish the other placings. |
Jeff Davis (s), Joy Davis, Dave Hooper and Trish Leach achieved one more end than Kahutia’s Alf Land (s), Diane Oates, Alic Brown and Ray Young. These teams took second and third prizes respectively. |
Only three teams entered in each of the men’s and women’s divisions of the open triples club championships on Saturday. |
The competition format was a round robin of 12-end games with no time limit. |
The round robin format was adopted to restrict the championship to one day’s play. This meant each team had two games and one bye. |
It is disappointing that more teams could not be persuaded to enter and make the superior two-life format viable. |
The winners were decided using game points and ends won. |
The women’s title was won by Jan Powell (s), Joy Davis and Kathy Carroll, who won both of their games. |
Dawne Abraham (s), Marion Jones and Norma Miller won their match against Di Christie (s), Lesley Holmes and Marilyn Knowles, but lost to the Powell team. |
There were some high scoring ends in most games which often wildly swung control of them. |
The men’s contest was also decided on one day. There were some notable absentees from entrants but the standard of play was good nonetheless. |
With all games completed and each of the three teams having won one game the winners were Bruce Ball(s), Puna McRoberts, & Andrew Ball who achieved 14 ends to take the title from Jeff Davis(s) Ian Carroll & David James. Lex Kennedy(s) David Holmes & Tam Buckingham finished in third place. |
Davis knew going into the last game that his team had to not only win but take at least 4 more ends than team Ball to be victorious. Davis won the game 16-10 but on losing the 10th end they could only win seven of the 12 ends. |
Twilight aggregate bowls start this Thursday 11th and runs for the next five weeks. |
Play starts at 5.30pm and members from all clubs are welcome. Entry fee is $5, a sausage sizzle follows play. |
JAMEY Ferris added the Gisborne Bowling Club’s Open singles title last weekend to the Bowls Gisborne-East Coast Open title he won for the second time last month. |
It was the first time Ferris, who is still a junior bowler, had taken on the seniors at club level, preferring until now to notch up an impressive record of junior singles titles. |
In a field that read like a who’s who of the district’s top bowlers Ferris won without losing a life under the two-life system. On the way toppling Mark Walker, Maurice Taylor, Ricky Miller and Robin Jefferson, twice. |
After winning a cliff-hanger round four battle with Jefferson 20-19, Ferris pulled away to a comfortable 21-12 win in the final. |
Also a first-time winner at senior level, Tanya Harrison pocketed the women’s Open title with both lives intact. |
Twice she accounted for Queenie Takurua and Lyn Trueman. Her two encounters with Trueman couldn’t have been more different. In round one Harrison romped to a 21-5 win, but it took a last-bowl effort to take care of Trueman 21-20 in the nail-biting final. |
Occasional bowler Peter Gledhill showed off his undoubted talent with victory in the under-8 men’s championship, winning two of his three battles with Tim Sherriff. |
Ginny Sherriff, playing in the under 8s for the first time, had a comfortable win without losing a life, twice beating three-time junior winner Beverly Davy by the same 21-11 scoreline. |
The under-3 men’s championship went the distance when Ron Robertson and Jim Wilson shared a win apiece before Wilson came away with a 21-13 win in the final. |
Graham Reeve won the B Grade championship by default. |
Last weekend was the clubs championship pairs for the start of the year. Four open women, three 1-8 year men and eight open men’s teams took to the green Saturday. |
In the open woman, once again Glenys Whiteman and Francie Adair showed their experience and why they are consistently hanging around at the end, not only at club champ level but centre level also. The first two rounds seemed to be a roll up as they cruised through earning a bye in the third, leaving Davynia Mills to ba... |
In the possible final Taylor got out to a flier over Whiteman and it seemed as if the centre pairs winners were going to back up their win last November, however, experience came into play. Not trying to score all shots at once Whiteman just plugged away at Taylors lead eventually forcing an extra end. |
Unfortunately for Taylor it wasn’t to be but there was no denying their effort, being down on the head and trying to move the white back, she was a foot wide of the target area leaving Whiteman with the spoils. 1-8 men was a battle royal between three teams. |
Round one saw Alan Parker/Marty Ryan against brothers Norm/Ray Young with Parker getting home. Joe Wimutu/Don Oates on the bye. 2nd round and Wimutu was up against Young with Young coming out on top. |
Third round and Wimutu got home over Parker which earned him a second bye. Last game of the day was something Parker will remember for a long time. Two behind playing the last end against the Young boys, and, with his lead putting two in the ditch and a bowl short and the opponent on the white with a couple, it seemed ... |
However, most juniors forget that. Running to move the white Parker clipped and went into the ditch. Young drew but unfortunately moved the white out. Parker tried again, missing but ending on the edge of the rink. Young drew and ended down the back. |
Parker attempted again picked the white and sent it to his other two bowls claiming victory and a win for the ages. |
The final was one-sided. Wimutu and Oates were in control from the start and never let Parker in anywhere. Well done boys. A deserved win and something for Don to show the family as his name will be etched on the championship board. |
Open men saw eight teams enter. Vern Marshall and Mick Maunder showed why they are a force once again, going through unscathed, beating Alistair MacPherson and Ron Davie in the possible final. Backing up their win from last year. |
Basketball coaches have varying styles, but when it comes to last second shots, they tend to either call a timeout to set-up a play or they let the players handle things spontaneously. Even then the line-up on the court have likely practiced game-ending situations throughout the season. When Rice tied the score with 0:... |
