conditions must be established i think a certain level of success must be guaranteed and kathy novak joins us live now from the south korean capital seoul cafes so the south korean president now saying he would meet the north korean leader how much progress has that been in these talks so far. well it was a significant shift because of course these talks happened after two years of no official communication between north and south korea so these went ahead without any preconditions to talk about north korea's participation in the winter olympics next month and the fact that these two sides were able to talk to sit down and all in the same room is being seen as significant progress and they were able to come out of that meeting after just a day with some agreements to send a delegation from north korea to the olympics as south korea has been pushing for because monday and has been saying he wants the olympics to be the piece of limb big city says that he wants this to be

a turning point for peace on the korean peninsula and they want to seize momentum going forward to have more talks with north korea for south korea has proposed military talks to defuse tension at the border also propose more talks to consider the possibility of family reunions for those separated by the korean war as soon as next month down in terms of the bigger picture kathy how difficult has it been for mungy in to balance the game of deescalating tensions with the north and trying to keep his main ally the u.s. . it is a balancing act because the policies do differ somewhat when it comes to how to handle the north korean nuclear threat south korea has been pushing forward with a policy of dialogue of engagement whereas the us president donald trump has been more forceful with his rhetoric and has also been saying that there should not be any talks without preconditions that the talks must be about denuclearization and

he has been pushing forward tough sanctions and pressure but monday and says those actually go hand in hand that the south korea and the u.s. agree on the way forward and that they do share the goal of denuclearizing north korea and when jane says sanctions and pressure are precisely to bring north korea to the negotiating table and we saw the culmination of that in these high level talks he says that donald trump actually did do a lot to bring forward the peace talks and he thanked donald trump's for his effort on that front but he doesn't knowledge that there is a dilemma for south korea because imposing sanctions and pressure does run the risk that north korea will in turn escalate its launches a nuclear test because the sanctions and pressure make the government there quite angry so he says that is the real dilemma the real balancing act and one that south korea must take prudently. thank you now the israeli army has carried out

raids on a number of villages close to the occupied west bank town of nablus thirty five year old israeli settler was shot dead authorities say the father of six was killed in a drug by shooting when twenty two bullets were sprayed at the college he was driving the army has declared the area to the southwest of not a military zone there are reports of scrimmages in the villages of tel and samarra such as throwing stones at possum cars in the village of buddhism has more from western lucilla. well the israeli military says that this thirty five year old man a rabbi from the illegal outpost of about gilad just southwest of nablus in the occupied west bank that he was in his vehicle on route sixty the main road near that illegal outpost where he lived and he was shot dead from a by a from a passing vehicle the military not saying whether it was one gunman or more but there are reports that twenty two bullets struck the vehicle that he was shot in the neck and chest taken to hospital where he was then pronounced dead the military

executive chairman of the right wing news website breitbart it comes just days after a round of remarks bannon made about trump and his son in the recently published book fire and fury in its ban on coal the twenty sixteen meeting between donald trump jr and a group of russians treasonous don estabrook as more from washington d.c. . well steve bannon and breitbart are both saying that he left the his position at breitbart but there's a lot of speculation in washington that he was probably pushed out. one of the investors and one of the board members that breitbart is a republican a billionaire republican donor by the name of rebecca mercer she hopelessly called bannon out last week over the comments that he made in fire and fury so there is speculation that she probably had something to do with his leaving the breitbart news. this afternoon what is the political future for steve

bannon kind of hard to tell right now he appears to be rather toxic this was a man who had a very meteoric rise started at breitbart in two thousand and twelve sort of led this nationalist movement and helped get president trump elected and then was part of his staff now he's fallen out of favor with trump he's lost his job at breitbart and he's also lost a show a radio show on sirius satellite radio so he sort of lost that platform for that nationalist movement but washington is a city where there are a lot of second chances he was working to try to get some people that were running for the midterm elections or what did he may have to step aside at this point because of his relationship with president trump but again this is a town of second chances he's likely to step aside lick his wounds and maybe really emerge over the next several months u.s.

president donald trump is once again said that he wants a border wall along mexico as part of the immigration reforms he also says a bipartisan solution is needed to protect some seven hundred thousand so-called dream of immigrants so far the republican controlled congress failed to reach a deal on their status but some dream is used to refer to people who are under the age of sixteen when the end of the u.s. illegally a deal which protects them from deportation expires in march. iran supreme leader ayatollah ali harman a has blamed the western powers for the recent unrest in his country and i also suggested tehran's regional rival saudi arabia had funded some of the demonstrations he says iran's enemies took advantage of economic problems to try and destabilize the government same as robbie has more from the capital tehran . when empty government protests began last month iran's supreme leader said he would speak about the unrest at an appropriate time knowing

his would be the final word. on tuesday ayatollah ali khamenei blamed foreign intervention by iran's enemies for the demonstrations that resulted in the deaths of at least twenty two people you. see that even according to evidence there's a triangular part and it was formed by the u.s. and zionists the money came from a wealthy government it appears in the gulf they had element one henchmen hide of millions but his plot he also had a warning for anyone seeking to use these demonstrations to overthrow iran's government you failed he said and you will fail in the future too. in his speech the supreme leader said that what he calls foreign agents who are behind the anti-government demonstrations adopted the slogan of high prices knowing that that was something that would resonate with many iranians so many acknowledged economic hardships faced by iranian fans and admitted the country had work to do to

solve its own problems. but people struggling to pay their bills say there needs to be less talk and more action to improve living standards you know most effective the so these protests are because of economic problems people are frustrated they have to pay rent they have university students and their families to sally's are not enough for their expenses that. there's been some economic depression in society for a while job opportunities have decreased god willing it will get solved bush did not do this or the more for economic problems were a preliminary cause but some people and some foreign agents misused the situation to create tension with one man who didn't speak to us on camera said iran's leaders have been blaming foreign countries for domestic problems for years and that it's natural for people who are frustrated with their leaders to take to the streets after all he said that's how the islamic republic of iran came to power in the first place same bus robbi al-jazeera run police into his ear fired tear gas at

demonstrators in the capital who stormed a supermarket during an anti-government protest demonstrations have been taking place since monday when people rallied in more than ten towns against the government's plan price and tax hikes since the measures are necessary to reduce its ballooning deficit and satisfy international lenders but the prime minister youssef to head says twenty eight will be the last year of economic hardship for the political analyst because minority says the protests are a sign the government must address people's concerns with we see the tax increases in the new budget coming to be now and this is going to a lot of people nervous and. upset their country we see kind of the arab spring which number one for the people itself carries worries also for extra investors carries that same old view of the middle east of trouble and not a safe place to invest so the government really needs to do something about this in order to fix to change expectations and help the country flourish. more than two
