welcome to the program north and south korea agreed to hold their first summit in more than a decade on the twenty seventh of april in the demilitarized zone dividing the two countries delegates from both sides met there on thursday to plan the summit where south korean president moon j. in will meet north korean leader kim jong un face to face diplomatic momentum has been building including kim's meeting with china's president earlier this week. among the view coming to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula has been the most important part of the agenda since the high level talks of january ninth and the exchange of visits between north and south korean envoys that's the issue we will focus on with further discussion as well. now the upcoming summit between kim jong un and moon in there's an extremely rare meeting between leaders of north and south but follows a deep freeze in relations over pyongyang's nuclear program and it's only the third of a meeting between north and south korean leaders since the countries were formed in

one nine hundred forty eight the into korean summit comes after kim jong un secret visit to beijing earlier this week it was his first known a foreign visit since he became north korea's leader in two thousand and eleven now there kim said he was open to discussing denuclearize ation with south korea and the u.s. he's expected to meet president donald trump by may. kathy novak has the latest from the border between the two koreas. more concrete plans for the entire korean summit now that a date has been set for the meeting between the south korean president in and the north korean leader kim jong un they will meet at the d.m.z. the border that separates the two koreas not far from where i am standing on april the twenty seventh and it will be the first time in more than ten years that the leaders of these two countries that are still technically at war will meet and one of the questions now is what will be on the agenda will they discuss

denuclearization of course this all comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity here on the korean peninsula and follows the surprise visit from kim jong un to china for a meeting with the president there kitschy jinping his envoy china's top diplomat young is in south korea to brief the south korean officials on that meeting no doubt they will be very interested to hear what was discussed at the meeting between kim and she ahead of the summit that is planned for next month. at least sixty eight people have died to the. venezuela know the violence in the central cities prisons of violence here is believed to be the worst ever in prison history syndrome p.s.e. reports of in neighboring colombia. families outside this venezuelan jail are desperate for news he's going to get the money or when i don't know if my son is dead or alive they won't give me any time updates or information my son has been

rival musar most of them is a one three percent of the vote their voter turnout was thirty nine percent since he's bid for a second term seen as a foregone conclusion after all the other credible candidates withdrew. abdullah is an assistant professor of history of history and georgetown university in qatar joins me here in studio good to have you with us is it really a case about winning anymore it's about the the mandate of the vote and how to legitimize that vote in the eyes of not just the domestic public but the international audience right i mean there's duffy a sense that this election was meant to display a kind of consensus opinion among egyptians about. leadership and sort of continuing on this trend of consolidating his control ever since he overthrew that revolutionary process back in two thousand and thirteen and now trying to commit to a second term and perhaps even altering the constitution beyond this in order to be able to remain in power indefinitely and consolidating that control as you say has

meant that potential candidates came and went in the years leading up to this vote and one wonders where this leads any sort of opposing voice or group or protest against what this government of this president will do in the future right well because he's failed to kind of consolidate his control through the conventional means of establishing a really good political party and being able to kind of diffuse power among various institutions in the state so he's relied far more heavily on this type of a farcical kind of show election in a way in order to use this to kind of bypass those difficult steps that he would kind of refused to take instead of course trying to kind of both on the one hand clamp down on all opposition through these these massive human rights abuses that we've heard so much about the sixty thousand prisoners in egyptian prisons. the reports of torture of course and of course as we've seen sidelining any potential opposition candidates including those from within the ranks of the military

themselves who attempted to kind of stand as a moment of opposition to see seize leadership and as a result of course now we're seeing that one of the few ways that's left for egyptians to oppose what's happening within egypt is as people have spoiled their ballots have taken to this election. process as a way of saying we don't recognize the legitimacy of this process and so they've either written opposition names on their ballots or they've even destroyed the ballots altogether eight years ago we had a former military general who'd taken power then we had the arab spring eight years of turmoil and now we see another military general now take power again it seems either history is repeating itself which is a vicious circle for egypt well certainly it seems that way that this is very cyclical but i think in a lot of ways what it tells us is that that process that began with the two thousand and eleven uprising in which egyptians finally wanted to see their voices reflected in represented in their own process of governance hasn't quite yet ended because this is still continuing to be a struggle of that order regime that's trying to kind of rear its head again once

again consolidate its control go back to those same ways a very repressive authoritarian politics establish itself as a dictatorship that can continue to go on for decades in the future and at the same time you have people that are still not letting that dream potentially of a better future die out and so that's the struggle that's that's continuing to play out despite what we might think in terms of this being a foregone conclusion which is what does happen in the coming months and years ahead for the moment to the end thanks for joining us on out as. a judge in the united states has cleared the way for families of the victims of the nine eleven attacks in america in two thousand and one to sue saudi arabia almost three thousand people died in a series of coordinated attacks by al qaeda families of the victims claim that saudi arabia helped plan the operation a court in new york no says it can hear the case which saudi arabia had attempted to have dismissed the families are suing for compensation amounting to billions of

dollars my kind of has more from washington d.c. . manhattan judge george gentles says that by a very narrow margin he does have jurisdiction to hear this case it's brought by survivors and relatives of victims of the nine eleven attacks the judge the same judge heard the case back in two thousand and fifteen a similar case but threw that one out of court he made very clear in his judgment today that the difference is the act passed by congress in two thousand and sixteen the justice against sponsors of terrorism act which does allow u.s. nationals to bring action against foreign countries they believe may have assisted acts of terror within the united states but still a lengthy legal process ahead lawyers for saudi arabia likely to bring appeals against the judgment they may even consider appealing the act passed by congress back in two thousand and sixteen an act that was vehemently opposed by the obama

administration at the time also what's going to happen in coming weeks and months is a process for discovery lawyers for the plaintiffs have made clear that they need objects articles information from saudi arabia itself and of course still the judge has got to set a date for this hearing to begin. the role of the libyan capital tripoli has been kidnapped by gunmen from his home the row. is affiliated with libya's u.n. but government of national accord which resides in tripoli that over the past few years officials have often been targeted for duction. nobel peace prize winner malala use of side has returned to pakistan for the first time since she was a tight by the pakistani taliban six years ago the twenty year old who is accompanied by her father has met the prime minister and other senior officials but all of it was shot in the head by must gunman on the way home from school in two

can be stopped with a second referendum on the final deal from the gauche ations between britain and the e.u. like will the students speaking for generations that voted overwhelmingly to stay in the. young people do feel very strongly that this is one direction for a few. in fighting to mobilize and try to persuade parents and grandparents many of the like minded back to back to back not sure anymore and it's not the right deal not my direction from here but all the older generation persuadable i travelled from london to the english market town of spalding where seventy percent voted to leave the e.u. the challenge for those trying to stop bricks it is to change people's minds in towns like spalding and that still feels like an uphill struggle. in georgia. that i don't think you can. get on with. the man who led spaulding's

leave campaign says this month's agreement on the transition covering british e.u. relations for almost two years after bret's it means the end. is in sight a thing that is the final nail in the coffin for the your i shall die hards who wants second referendum the transition agreement is implied and i think what we all need to do now is a rally around the prime minister in the government and work to govern the national interest to your the best possible deal burt back in london not much sign of rallying around another and group sets off on a battle bus tour around supported by some big names in british politics i accept that whatever happens in terms of any effort. to stop there which is take it to a different course in the one the peoples in the viceroy said that's very difficult but i think millions of people believe the country's made

a terrible mistake. and that this is just can't count this isn't sustainable the referendum was meant to settle the issue of britain in europe for once and for all it doesn't yet feel it has any diehard remain as have learned one thing from the anti e.u. opponents it's place never give up what they see to be hopeless cause. or want to be phillips joins me now three hundred sixty five days to go bobbie of course the prime minister on a whistle stop tour of the u.k. where she'll be able to perhaps garner the public's opinion and where they actually stand on the whole issue of breaks in perhaps and some more could questions. yes because the indications are so hell is that the british public remains bitterly divided and in a sense that is bad news for both sides it's bad news for to reason make because it does feel as if her repeated calls for britain to get behind wrecked it to make the

best of it and look at the opportunities for long deaf ears when it comes to remain is but of course it's also bad news for die hard remain as the kind of people who you saw in my package the kind of people who dream of a second referendum that could overturn the result of the first referendum of twenty sixteen so far if the polling is to be believed britain remains divided roughly fifty fifty and the outcome of a second referendum would be an enormous gamble for those who are pushing for it so hard and of course you know while you say the prime minister is calling for unity both in the public sphere it's the political sphere and those hurdles to jump over the next few months not just dealing with m.p.'s on both sides of the houses in london but also dealing with european politicians who are bargaining very hard about exactly what britain has to pay to leave this bloke.

yes i couple of things about those negotiations with europe but one important point is that yes some progress has been made but in the words of the e.u. nothing is agreed until everything is agreed so even the tentative agreements which have been staked out over the preceding months could unravel if we don't reach the end and there is a feeling that difficult cans particularly the issue of the irish border which is a most as a real dilemma have just been kicked down the road again and again and another thing to remember so here is that domestically here in the u.k. to reason may and does not have a majority she leads a minority government in parliament she came. out of the general election last year badly and that makes her task all the more onerous she's propped up by one of the northern irish parties that makes reaching an irish border deal that satisfactory to everyone all the more awkward i suppose as well for the moment we'll leave it

there bobbie and see what comments the prime minister comes out with as the day progresses thank you. prosecutors say they're about to show links between the trunk campaign for the presidency and russia four people have so far pleaded guilty as a result of the investigation led by robert mueller and one of them's to to be sentenced particle him as the latest. in just a few days alex venders juan will walk back into the federal courthouse to be sentenced his crime lying to investigators and special counsel robert miller's probe into potential collusion between the truck campaign and russia his sentencing documents lay out for the first time the clearest connection yet between russia and the campaign it details conversation between former trump campaign aide rick gates and someone labeled a person a investigators a person a has ties to a russian intelligence service and had such ties in two thousand and sixteen it goes on to say the vendors one admitted that he knew of that connection stating
