LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: We've got an update for our top story for you this morning, which is a late-breaking development right now. There is some news coming out of the Mideast peace summit. Let's go now to CNN's John King who's standing by at the White House with the very latest. John, what's going on?</s>JOHN KING, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Leon, the White House press secretary, Joe Lockhart, just moments ago telling CNN that the Mideast peace talks are expected to resume this morning. And he said, quote, "no one has threatened to walk out." This in response to reports mostly back in Israeli that the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Barak, was disappointed and was planning to leave the summit. President Clinton last night extended the deadline. It was supposed to end at 9:00 a.m. this morning. The president now staying for another full day at Camp David. U.S. officials, frankly, have been a bit exasperated at reports that Mr. Barak is going to leave. They say he is not planning to do so. They do believe there is some posturing under way because this is the last and perhaps decisive day of the summit. The leaders, both Mr. Arafat and Mr. Barak, in very delicate political situations back home. But they say such reports can and sometimes do affect the tenor of the discussions. So White House officials making clear this morning that, despite these reports, they fully expect the talks to resume this morning. They say the discussions went late into the night, indeed, the early morning hours again. Still no word of any imminent breakthrough. U.S. officials describing these negotiations as very difficult, but they are making clear at this hour that nobody has threatened to walk out and that those discussion will continue today at Camp David -- Leon.</s>HARRIS: All right, thanks much, John King at the White House. Thanks much.
