possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because chaos or if you join us on sat there are people. between. this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who's an activist who's close to the story join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. and other top stories on al-jazeera the u.s. president says he will meet with kim. signaling a potential breakthrough in relations between washington and north korea a south korean delegation meeting with donald trump at the white house delivered pyongyang's invitation to the president the north korean leaders also pledged to suspend nuclear and missile testing and comes after weeks of diplomacy between

seoul and north korea the first. review. by. the. rub of pride has more from pyong chang. south korea like everybody else absorbing this news and trying to figure out what it all means giving the pace at which it has all unfolded but there is a general feeling of excitement and expectation here about a possible breakthrough continuing with a meeting between donald trump and kim jong un this will be seen as a major breakthrough for president in south korea and his policy of engagement he is probably as surprised as everybody else by the speed with which events have

unfolded there's also an awful lot of comments here in south korea about the role played by kim jong un the north korean leader in all of this yes there is a feeling that he has been forced into opening up because of the sanctions which are beginning to bite beginning to hurt but he does not give the impression of a leader who has been forced into submission at times he seems to have been driving the timetable of this in his new year address he talked about resetting relations about a new start in relations with the south that then led to him exploiting the south korean winter olympics and a good team here building on the goodwill now reaching this deal if this summit meeting between himself and donald trump does go ahead he will have achieved what all north korean leaders have wanted to achieve before him and that is a meeting on equal terms with the leader of the united states it is something that

his father and grandfather did not achieve if the meeting goes ahead then kim jong un will have achieved it within a matter of weeks the champ administration has imposed controversial tariffs on steel and imports despite warnings of a potential trade war mexico and canada will be temporarily exempt from the new levies while negotiations continue on a regional trade agreement. trans-pacific partnership has been signed in china and what's been hailed as a powerful move against protectionism revamps deal will reduce terrace for eleven countries and connect economies worth ten trillion dollars years ago your state has warned african countries to be careful and their dealings with china rex tillerson is on his first official visit to the continent he warned countries there not to give up their sovereignty when they accept loans from beijing to listen mehta the chairman of the african union in ethiopia said the visit is proof of close ties

one to the. one hundred the hot sun few cloth few holes in the muck and aspect the whole thing now in my ride to the house. i've been left a lot to me it's an invitation imagine if i had a shot i always expected the national. does the head to. the death but that sick kids. and that's when. she. thought. i don't know how could it be. up so you. must call me at a questions that. i'm proud. of that

i think. i'm going to. have you know if i'm going to have been center of him up a couple of bucks and i was in all. the ice and about how to see that i yes. that's the sort of and honest i was and we had another year just in the first suddenness as if the one i was it had as shit. but not as it had a nice time on impact. in twenty i love it for young on many women decided to break the mold challenge stereotypes and learn to sail. it's

a world that can be dominated by men but as john and see saddam and assad made up the crew of. their boat were named after a constellation of stars. i don't look at the book but i know. the shape. of it and what you are god not a little bit have done it good to carry i can say hey i've got to go here but how did that my gun evidence not even i would have to assume going to be it i knew that i had been very different to how one can white collar. so i did with the head to look at us as a little. bit numbers of how to say i says and that i was the. land in the. midst of i was do that in this should. have been

a comedy show. i . had if it had. just been santa ana so i think. one of. the. people could be. me to do so we can get that he brought. us from. the army and the bottle who was stuck.

on the north. team for one mode the cut on one pot. is funded by the government and started in two thousand and eight its stated aim is to revive our month's merry time heritage promote the country internationally and quote use the power of sport to contribute to the development of the people. they're calling it but i think. that i but my mind if they don't let it go and if you have been there. that they're right well.

i know that i've you know i love to look at them to know how to deal with. well there have been a woman. need of them time i need to. a william from a bank i can fly home collapsed on him and don't let up on that interview in a column w. that. when i joined the company a year and a half ago those women would just starting to do some racing and it was just a one off opportunity but then they did so well the idea was such

a good one that it was decided we should we should let them continue they enjoyed it. it's hard work but they seem to like. this point here we. want. cam must. be about about. a man who's been out to look around and ok and get any ice the

minute. brainless just had to. make in. the head be a feeble bomber. almost anything mr with a. bit of an agenda william saw some of the thunder we. know jeff had been i was just sort of got out of bed and when that i thought i saw feel about all sorts. yet the but i thought. i would since last long i was

a book and nothing just i'm just my own work i'm done with it then the resume has the thoughts i would in a can a little file and sleep would. have been a part of the leadership that i would miss. the young women had to pass an initial training stage in order to be accepted at home and sail. like a. mobile again but not. under seal but had come to look i'm. just a. kid doesn't agree why we got on with the guy a good woman and why every day when you get. there with a wife you've got a good fantasy but at the end. with. a smile and think and wife but i don't want to have any idea of fannie and freddie and for them to. be at

hand can watch a video grab me on the shouting about you make sure your family. gets a more typical laugh from those on most of us in march we were like that so we had that's good enough for me the high forwards of our. sharon is says progress out at sea was unfortunately affected by an untimely illness but the company offered her a job on dry land in the education center now she teaches young children about the sea and tries to inspire other young armani's to get involved in sailing. i think it would be a comfort if it's the book. i have and then this is. about

a survivor and one of the epidemic in the attic and. then there's the how. of them. a man has over three thousand kilometers of coastline and so has always had a close relationship with the sea and not just through fishing. pearl diving goes back centuries before the common era and the ancient probe ground stretched along gulf coast beyond the strait of hormuz that separates from. by the one nine hundred twenty the centuries gulf pearls were among the most highly sought after and brought in considerable revenue. but pearl diving was an

exclusively male domain. for mr. minister. and i think that having them up and get ready. to hold the whole together. heavy it was and. had. all. this stereotype is that men go to sea to fish and that women stayed home to keep house. but some parts of our money society have always challenged that common beliefs and then wish them and they get. i think a. good. thing elected that have.

it would be you. know our money in the. country to change is a question they wrestle with on an almost daily basis how to maintain traditions in the face of rapid growth and minors station and how to balance local values with outside influences. different countries a dog very approaches as do individual families. and.

so we. could all. other than to you hey they live east you know one of these oh a small one hundred with you know live try and develop a knowledge. of

what. the self was about a month or so and perhaps i'm only. trying to build the landmark there is a little arsenal getting what you get on a shuttle a two man and you have a start up back in handy now and this is one of the marquis so i got a sub that had a product now hello you know why it has. got out of whack it down and i'm sure you know the how and yet it but. there is a girl in the lot that's what they are you know how they say because in the last one was here a shocker i think i'm all good it was a good ten and i'll give you a year to help build your back which will with all the hell you could there my leg because i gotta love. it perhaps the bad of you move a little while well if you could tell if you move or who are you are you got the

gun now is it a model that. it can it does your well i don't know ruger. i think the reaction has been great because i think the most important thing that we have shown people with very very. women's program and that's not just the race team but all all the program is you can be a very. good woman in a traditional sense you know you can you can be. a wife you can be your daughter you can be a mother but you can also have this adventure you can also learn to sail and teach other people than inspire people and i think because we've shown that you can do both. you can still you can still be a good i'm only a woman and also a very talented so going off around the world showing or showing everybody how how

strong our money people are. the young women and their families had to think carefully about the effect they're certainly would have on family life and whether it might affect their marriage prospects or responsibilities in the future. to let us know how but a test set up the clip of a silent miscall and then. as work with what i want to have the. results have been a man are the seller was the good best this up out of order he. will show you where you have a high slab again and good to be a little heavy man having. got. one bad day off by any. ahead. and or in any within. so we saw what has happened and if there is to hello it up and.

role models are important in sport especially for young people. the most successful sports women in a man has been the tennis player fast men in the planning. and then the kids and i took up one of her new year and they were them up with manila's that within a woman a woman can within her make even a normal reality rigby ac with me that's woman salary of a kid in that when i had one nearly forgot the land i like living here you know so i thought i said are there how. someone who didn't how was the need for a cell phone or. a short to snuff out my number on him. i meant that there are women a girl is a lucky woman that got away with it herself one where. and how often i had critical

had run out of it. at the one of them. and the penny is a man's number one tennis player she started playing at the age of four and at her best in two thousand and ten was ranked three hundred and sixty two in the world. she still plays in international tennis federation tournament and is a successful doubles player winning in las palmas in spain in august twenty seventh . for as she is a role model. have a lie have a set of free will i met them and sell them i can invest in the falcon i can on a seven four. or five and a half or have a steak if i'm in the fair and then the second that you fit in the chill fifi head funny. nickel dime and the. out of beer and say it's anecdotal and that's a man and a cornfield mom my fucking of us and them and fuck my dad and so.

but public support from high profile figures like fast men and the planning did not guarantee except in a by every sector of our money society. even the men's team sometimes the trucks opposition. can then he gets them into by the way the distance the model and the car that are on the money or how the union if a footman is a in the mess and muds early on in the saddle i had the full lend or well hello earth in the mail shovel full of. the gun to. the head about. my fishy yani the hunt for.

or how the she took off never. so the kind with. the with and. then when coffee thought out of going under. and a lot of i'm not sure how. many in the. with and. i'm going to run out them at the what's ma home for them and call feed to what could be a company what's. going on and how. they can know mine are of going on and. the girls come along and they work just as hard as the boys and if they lose to the boys then they say right tomorrow you know tomorrow we win so it's it's it's it's interesting all i see is someone who's driven someone who's committed and somebody wants to work so i find it very

difficult to tell them apart to be honest. coming up in part two these are many women became about something more than just going out to sea in boats. a woman has been with. maybe not the sort i had wanted been. in the. thing for us and what i've been kind of. and the impact made when they took part in international competitions at the end of the. going up to go. respect you know well

sam lee can be a sport for different shapes and sizes as with other sports mental resilience is just as if not more important than physical strength. not about sport for women because you don't have to be the strongest if you're strong helps but there's positions on the boat where actually we need someone to be as small as possible we need the tallest we need the smallest we need someone strong we need someone very gentle the most important thing you need for sailing is you need a good mind if you go to a good mind and you can understand the game then then there's a position on the boat for you to ten men ships ten men a little high and it. will be it will be can he. ten men it's going

any. teamwork makan head going to get the most. and so we. are going to we. have had places that have a good. any i can the other but any of the anything i've said well you said. the head of it does it does this about. to happen that matt is at the head of the fattest save those at the head of the earth to live in the. cured in. the head the. i would also have to had that women in sailing in general there is the perception that women are not as strong. and nor does dedicated and therefore they'll be they'll be easy to beat but we've had a wonderful some of this year with the girls of going round to europe on good

racing and they competed in a world championship and there was at the end of the regatta there were male teams going up to the girls and saying to them ok respect you know well done you know you have all respect i have been sailing for twenty five years you've been sailing for one year. and you beat me and hopefully you know the goals realize that even though you're starting in a position where people don't believe that you will be a good competitor when you are they are so impressed that you have their respect for life.

apart from gender driving motivation and the mix and chemistry of the team are all key factors in mold seen a successful crew accession the hadn't been in an unknown. but. what's the one. of the city. where she father was sent home to lend them money for if another mom doesn't want to have one also knocking about in the uk each one is a little different. they're all very individual we have some girls who are very very quiet very calm under pressure but inside they're all thinking when it goes badly for them we make a mistake we don't do very well you really see them getting upset we have all the

girls that always like to joke and always like to turn everything into a smile and laughter but when we start the race. everyone becomes very serious and everyone becomes very very driven on that as there is always an atmosphere of next time we do even better next time we do it better. as well as empowering these young armani women in ways they didn't imagine possible sandlin enabled them to develop as people.

for. a full manasseh. and now to. see well this shouldn't have. any. effect. on. the. should that have see first sales competitively in two thousand and twelve and july twenty third. in the world competition i must say. a month later she became the first of many women to compete in the fastnet race in our minds flagship boat.

than that it is something really special to have people say well that you know you were impressive you really you know i respect your talent and that's what this team is about it's about hopefully some children looking at the team and think it will maybe maybe that is for me maybe i should work hard enough that i can go to a world championship with your mom flag or you know on my back and show everybody how strong we can be. as today and gradually began to see themselves as role models and that they had a responsibility to send example to other young are many women who might follow in their footsteps in the future. and that it can sell human am i one what money of the phone and the other to live. and get i thought that they landed in.
