talks are going to focus on apart from the olympics on improving into career relations and we have really haven't had any more details apart from that but i can tell you that the last time such high level talks were held with in december two thousand and fifteen so more than two years ago now those talks broke down because north korea wanted south korea to resume sending tours to north korea those turds had stopped since two thousand and eight when a south korean tourist was accidently shot but south korea refused to resume those tours and those talks broke down so those could be one of the things that they will talk about perhaps north korea might ask for some aid in return for sending or humanitarian aid in return for sending its athletes to participate in the wind upcoming winter olympics that of course all this is just speculation and we still have to wait for north korea to respond and see what they're going to say now a south korean official did say they tried to make contact with north korea via communication hotline at the demilitarized zone but unfortunately no one in north

korea picked up the call so we still have to wait and see how north korea is going to respond now these talks however are as south korean officials have. put it very clearly are just going to be focused on the upcoming winter olympics as well as improving into career relations what everyone is concerned about is north korea's nuclear ambition but the president of south korea moon in has made it very clear that these talks will need require the participation of the international community take a listen to what he said normal. but clearly improvement of relations between north and south korea kemel separately with the resolving north korea's nuclear program so the foreign ministry should coordinate closely with our allies and the international community regarding this along that point then i want to any sign that this talk about talks is decreasing the tension. well that's certainly what. south korea is hoping the international community are

hoping that these talks will do see relations between the two koreas has been at their lowest point in decades and part of the reason is because north korea has been adamantly pursuing its nuclear ambitions and south korean ten have been led has been led by. leaders who've taken a more hardline approach when it came to dealing with north korea that is until president moon jane took off it's in may but however we've heard from kim jong un the leader of north korea in his new year's day address on monday north korea is going ahead with its nuclear ambitions and these talks are not going to be talking about denuclearization at all are these talks also going to be covering the military drills that north korea so opposes these military drills that south korea frequently conducts with the u.s. that's unlikely to be a topic of discussion as well. florence louis solved. well the six people are said to have been killed in iran on monday night it's now thought at

always being worried about my job my family the security of my family the main problems people are grappling with are their security the economy and their livelihood. and there are some who are poor and cannot make ends meet what should they do life is really difficult we have tenants i have a daughter in schools the high prices that really put me under pressure at home iran's leaders say some protesters may have been provoked by foreign countries but they say they believe the most demanding more freedom has been as every man in my opinion we can't say whoever is taking to the streets has orders from other countries but there might be a handful so it's not like people have come to the streets to say that we want money bread and water you know they have other demands as well as allowing a freer environment. oh. me in washington d.c. outside the white house people called for the removal of president haasan. harney

divide jerusalem essentially that would ensure that jerusalem would remain off of the negotiating table when it comes to any future peace talks of course that would complicate an already very complicated situation now this vote comes on the heels of another contentious vote vote that happened on sunday this was a vote by the central committee of the likud party they voted to annex large portions of the occupied west bank now the first thing to remember is that that resolution they voted on is not binding and also we've not yet heard any reaction from prime minister benjamin netanyahu as to whether he will indorse that resolution and actually try to take it to the knesset to get it passed into law but that resolution after it passed was causing great consternation and anger amongst palestinians of course palestinian president mahmoud abbas said that this was considered an aggression against the palestinian people taken together with this new border really shows just how tenuous the situation remains and how uncertain

things really are on the ground here israeli authorities of charge the palestinian teenager of film slapping and kicking two of its soldiers in the occupied west bank sixteen year old had to me was arrested after this video was posted online two weeks ago a lawyer says the twelve counts relate to six separate incidents and she faces up to two years in jail a cousin and mother have also been charged. pakistan's government is banning charities linked to one of the main suspects in the two thousand and eight bombings from accepting donations hafiz saeed as being designated a terrorist by the un and the united states has repeatedly denied involvement in the attacks on the cole found insufficient evidence to convict him to move against the charity's follows a tweet from donald trump on monday criticizing pakistan for not doing enough against armed groups. joins us live from islamabad so he does

fact that the u.s. commitment to did nuclear deal is under question and specially under president from has created a lot of hesitancy uncertainty in the market and that has adversely affected the iranian economy but the reality is that president rouhani also really failed to pave the ground for the potential that the nuclear deal created and that has created a lot of frustrations in iran over the past two years in fact unemployment rate has gone up property has gone up. income inequality in iran has exacerbated and people have had enough of all of this and this is why you see the process these days i think it's pretty obvious that this movement similar to the arab uprisings in two thousand and eleven doesn't have a clear leadership or an organization it also doesn't have a specific mission the slogans range from economic grievances all the way to regime

change and that's why it's hard to imagine that it would be able to preserve its momentum in the long run i think important to note at this stage is that president rouhani has recognized both the right the legitimate right of people to protest and the legitimate grievances of the protesters. now who three rebel fighters in yemen say at least thirty people have been killed or injured in airstrikes in the port city of her data saudi led coalition planes reportedly targeted two vehicles carrying hoofy fighters which stopped at a petrol station and district local sources tell just a number of civilians were among the dead another strike targeted a local market syria's government has launched at least twelve airstrikes against rebel held areas just outside the capital according to opposition activists this video said to show the attacks on her neighboring suburbs in eastern of all the fighting has intensified there in recent weeks the u.n.
