border between north and south korea. well it is just a month now until south korea's president will meet north korean leader kim jong un forming up the date for the first intercalary and summit since two thousand and seven is another sign of improving relations between the two koreas which remains technically at war the agreement was made at a high level talks between south korea's unification minister and his north korean counterpart it's the second time these two men have met this year and they remarked on how much has changed since they last met in january when it was decided that after two years of the two countries not munich ating they would come together at the winter olympics in south korea. i'm certain that this is quite a positive development since we are living in a divided nation i feel more relieved when we settle things peacefully rather than being in a dangerous situation i think this is good i hope this happens more frequently. and young. i usually don't pay attention to news but i now pay more

attention as we hear more good news rather than bad news like nuclear war so the mood amongst much of the south korean public and certainly the south korean government is one of cautious optimism but there are still some skeptics the agenda still hasn't been agreed to for the into korean summit and many will want to be sure that denuclearization is up for discussion and of course this all comes after that surprise visit that kim jong un made to china for a meeting with xi jinping china's top diplomat young is in south korea to brief south korean officials on the topics that were discussed at that meeting valuable information as they go ahead and plan the interconnection summit next month. british prime minister trays of mayors touring the country to mark the one year come down to when the u.k. leaves the european union the fulbrights that process was triggered last year following the two thousand and sixteen referendum says she is committed to honoring

the results of the vote but for european groups are refusing to give up hopes of staying in the e.u. it's because i've been out of bombay for that's his live for us in london so bought me was the message the reason why is taking all over the country. oh treason may is trying to the british public to rally behind her and to rally behind breck said and it's significant that she's visiting all the component the different nations that make up the united kingdom northern ireland scotland neither of which voted for bracks it and then of course wales and by far the largest country england which did but is she going to get that unity let's talk to dr simon assured a political analysts simon what do you think do you think we're rallying behind bracks it in this country in that the majority of british people are determined to make the best of it however they voted in twenty sixty i think certainly everybody

would like this to have a satisfactory resolution the problem is that opinion remains very divided in this country about what satisfactory looks like is that close is that far apart and i think the trees in my has really struggled over this past year and will struggle in the coming year to work out a deal that is satisfactory to all involved i know you spent a lot of time looking at how the other remaining e.u. twenty seven countries are dealing with this process and how do they when breaks it happened it was it was a body blow for the e.u. have the e.u. twenty seven recovered and how do they see the process now go for them i think they've demonstrated a remarkable level of unity and coherence in these negotiations that remains that they see this is an existential threat to. the cohesion of the union but what comes now i think is going to be the difficult part of the particular

situation of ireland for example perhaps some member states might find it hard to keep on making allowances for that particular kind of situation because that's always been the british open and now that the talks move on to trade britain can start picking. countries off one by one appealing to their vested interests that the car exporters of germany either for second exporters of italy and european solidarity will crumble so pro bret's it politicians say in this country is that is that realistic not really it's a very naive view of how the e.u. works that all those kinds of issues actually address the very basic issues of how the single market works the customs union you can't have these narrow do is without that big a deal being in place so i think if that's the strategy the u.k. takes it won't be successful in splitting member states actually probably the most successful way can go is trying to work with that use finds common solutions but i

think that there are still some very difficult discussions still to come in this closing phase of article fifty are you saying that europe will drive a hard bargain and even take an economic cost to preserve the political project of european union yes basically that's the trade off i think the e.u. would like the u.k. not to leave but it respects that decision but if that comes at a price of being able to retain the value of membership retain the project of integration that is at the heart of this then i think they will accept the loss of market access that british politicians here seem to think is the the be all and end up to simon ashwood thank you very much back to you laura in the studio in don't ok bonamy thanks very much for the view there from london. now the mayor of the libyan capital tripoli has been kept that by gunmen from his home base amal is affiliated

we all need to help clean up one of the world's filthiest rivers. will be here to tell us about a shock to fade for venus williams at the miami open tennis. gyptian state media is expecting president abdul fattah el-sisi to win reelection by a landslide after three days of voting preliminary results show c c one twenty three million out of the twenty five million votes cast as only rival muso most often do so one three percent of the vote turnout was thirty nine percent bid for a second term is seen as a foregone conclusion after all other credible candidates with drew. professor of security studies institute joins us now here in the studio good to have you with us what do you think cecil make of this forty percent turnout is

quite down isn't it from the forty nine percent that he had last time this quiet down but i think the. cutoff line is twenty five point five million because this is where the twenty twelve presidential elections which was really the actions of thirteen candidates about twenty five point five million people turned out and we can actually know the voter turnout because there were so many monitors in international monitoring and so on this time we're not sure you know the formal or my formal estimates is about forty percent turnout but you cannot go much than twenty five percent because then it will be contested digital mysie compared to twenty twelve and now after have to after what happened in front eleven and the presidential election the parliamentary elections in twenty twelve i think there is most of the forthcoming future presidential elections will see this as its red line they want to go too far down i think there's an issue with digital you see obviously the you know the contenders the turnout rates relatively low but i think

the in terms of the facade the declaration it was done is now elected between petition for the second time there were some participation in the elections and the city has been talking down opposition boycott what. i don't think it mattered really i mean the capacity when you have the chief of staff of the egyptian army running as a candidate and he gets arrested and placed in jail it tells you you know the level of repression went to levels beyond beyond the water mubarak and saddam five did in the end did not as a minority is being contended except after the elections you know but before the elections he did not dare to do that in five so i think it's a different level of oppression and i think many this tickets mean the penalties the five hundred pounds penalties if you did not show up with it made many people show up in the end and the amount of social pressure in state media pressures to

participate what was the contention is the real turnout there's lots of question marks. do you think sisi has crossed all dissent now in egypt. he more or less the bulldozer do all descend in a way many of the dissidents as i mentioned this to former chief of staff of the union army the. last prime minister the much of course also an air force general all of them were pushed aside marginalized threatened or intimidated most of the opposition figures you have over ten leaders of political parties or even. egypt including you know the former vice president that actually appointed when he was defense minister after the coup mohamed better days in exile. most of the. opposition i would say a real political figures are either in exile in jail or a silenced by intimidation so in that sense those are over the egyptian opposition so given that all the problems of egypt now. i mean who would want that job really

look at the problems that are in egypt security problems economic problems can he fix it. i don't think the intention is to fix it on the short term because he will never be held accountable so he said he would fix it in twenty thirteen twenty fourteen the promises with security problem will be gone in three weeks common problems will be gone in a year and the promises were wild in twenty four when twenty twenty thousand now you have a security problem that is unprecedented in egypt's history like the number of attacks in egypt between twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen according to a lot of center which is a similar think tank is one hundred one thousand one hundred sixty five operations this is an operation every day and a half didn't happen under mubarak didn't happen under morsi didn't happen on the supreme council of the armed forces so security situation is very two of the worst terrorist attacks in egypt's history happened on the sea the bombing of the russian

metro jet flight and the attack which was the worst terrorist attack the second was a sect in twenty seventeen globally of the militias bombings so we're looking at secure situation is not that successful and he promised security economic situation i mean it's like the every single report that is seen seen. more egyptians on the poverty line actions are suffering so that the numbers basic the do not match the promises that were given back in twenty four will he be held accountable in any account to feel and fair elections probably you would not be elected but then you know the intention is not for you to fix the problem but to stay in power and milk whatever's left of the situation time is another let's say thanks very much. ok let's get a check now on what's the conversation online. social media producer. well there's lots of interest in the initial results that we're getting from egyptian state media if you look on twitter in egypt the arabic hash tag for initial results is

one of the top trending conversations especially in the capital cairo at the moment now as we heard voter turnout was approximate. thirty nine percent so more voters skipped the election than took part that's a lower turnout than the last two elections in two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and twelve and it appears though that president sisi has won around ninety percent of the votes that were cast now his only rival muso won three percent of the vote but look at this figure at the bottom of this image here now that one point five million figure there that's for the ballots that were rejected so the invalidated ballots are effectively in second place in egypt's presidential election in some areas some parts of the country there were twice as many spoiled ballots as there were votes for presidency see that's not a huge surprise in egypt this happened in the twenty four thousand cycle as well observers are calling this or at least a portion of this a protest vote adoptions we're told that they legally had to vote or face fines so

there are other voters who decided to simply hand in a blank piece of paper or as you can see in this photo that went viral in egypt they wrote in other people's names like the egyptian footballer most sala now on the topic of turnout the state run newspaper says that foreign media coverage has been full of lies they accuse the reuters news agency of deliberately hiding pictures of long queues opting instead to show empty ones now that's prompted some staff with reuters to defend themselves and share some examples of their coverage from reporters in different parts of the country where they say that turnout was quite low finally we're still waiting to hear from president sisi but in his on his last post on wednesday evening right after the polls closed he spoke of the will of the nation being demonstrated in this vote saying that those scenes that we solve egyptians at polling stations that was shining proof of the greatness of the nation now for more information on the elections in egypt you can visit our spotlight page that's at al-jazeera dot com and you can also share your views with me on twitter

i'm. ok thank you. now white woman in south africa has been jailed for racially abusing a black policeman. in the backyard. and what's believed to be the first case of its kind ricky membered was jailed three years tried to help after thieves broke into her car she responded by using racial slurs forty eight times during a to raid two years ago you go vandeman as director of research at the center for the study of violence and reconciliation and joins us on skype from cape town good to have you with us are you surprised by the severity of this ruling. doesn't surprise me as it's the first of instead of its current previous judge. who saw all fines mainly so this is the state showing the true taking racism

a lot more seriously for a change many people say that racism in south africa against blacks is out of control will this act as a deterrent. it's difficult to say one in one case like this role after the disappearance and i think racism. and it's almost impossible to control racism i think we have a legacy in south africa from apartheid. very much with us both in terms of people attitudes but also just. first economic inequality is that a lot of people's lives so we do need to deal with racism and in a very. very direct way so this is one way where the government is demonstrating that it is taking this problem seriously whether or not. the key problem of racism isn't just about insults it's about discrimination and that is much more

deeply embedded in our society so what needs to be done to level the playing field as it were. what the government has instituted various programs over the last twenty three years of democracy landry's to to show affirmative action except for those have gone a long way we do see a gradual shift and equality. education systems where the younger generation are a little bit more open and. less racist than their white parents for example so things are changing but they're changing social only and that has known barrister government where they've been a charge for twenty three years and they don't have enough to show for it so they are being pushed to do somebody acts strange but. something about concerned about that they do. empathize with those who store suffer the legacy of racism in

south africa you have a new president on the post i think this is firmly on his agenda. it's difficult for unity restore i'm a poser is very diplomatic and how he's dealing with this so he's not he's not a populist he's not going to make inflammatory comments which i think is important because we don't just want to deal with this era symbolic ways that to punish a few whites who overstep such obvious boundaries we need to have a much more long term and sustainable process because this is going to be a problem with south africa for years to come and we need to process that deals with the root causes such as the inequality. and geographic. geographic separation that strong characterizes our schools or communities exception. and never ever anything did speak to thanks for joining us there from

cape town in cuba. to what's called the forgotten war in may and our three hundred crisis made headlines worldwide the man on the as for rebels begins in the northern state of capturing like a ten independence army is refusing to join peace talks that the government's planning with other rebel groups that das's the hopes for one hundred thousand people displaced by years of fighting who want to return home from refugee camps when haven force. civil war in me and man has pushed people as far as they can go to remote mountainous regions on the edge of the country in the northern state of kitchen it's estimated there are around one hundred thousand living in camps along the border with china supposed to be temporary homes but many refugees have been here for years for some this is just the latest stop in almost a lifetime on the run so. when i lived in another camp i thought

there would be no more running away from the fighting but it happened again just like before the man my shirts inside the camp and i even fired artillery shells. the rebel kitchen independence army is at war with the me and my army fighting for control of the state and its resources the kitchen accuse the me and my army of abuses like rape and murder which the government and its soldiers deny the government is engaged in a peace process with several rebel groups but the kitchen fighters have refused to sign a cease fire agreement saying they don't trust the process in the meantime more civilians are being displaced by the fighting forced to leave their homes and jobs starting a small business inside the camps is the only way to make money the government won't allow aid groups in and getting supplies like medicine is difficult instead the refugees are taught how to make use of natural remedies it's a difficult situation made worse by the constant fear of being targeted again. the

me i'm army keeps attacking us they never have sympathy for anybody they did this to us we are afraid of them right now we have volunteer security guards in the camp day and night. even with that threat and fear hanging over them for now the camps are as safe as it gets is no sign that the violence in kitchen state will end any time soon meaning returning home isn't an option wayne hay al-jazeera. that's going to weather it out with avatar folks never saw it looking like a very nice weekend for us is it now that's right right across the middle east we've got it all going on hot cold rain snow and a sand storm just to complete the set of i think of the satellite picture doesn't let ticket as it picture paints a thousand words and there you go big massive cloud spilling out of that eastern side of the mediterranean notching up from the black sea towards the caspian sea some really heavy rain moving across the turkish mountains and some snow there mixed in as well that will make its way across some in georgia as that wet or whether it will clear through we go on into sas day we have got brighter skies

coming back in across this particular parts of the world the cloud that will extend this way over towards the himalayas temp just falling back to around one nine celsius there in back you some cold weather around thirty one celsius in tashkent we've got a fair amount of people look at that cloud you can follow that right the way down across the peninsula we are going to see some rather lively weather coming in here as we go on through the next couple of days then so there's that cloud looking it's a northerly winds bumping into southerly winds and that southerly picking temperatures up in riyadh to around thirty nine degrees the northerly winds out the winds out thirty one celsius for the possibility of rain on saturday as this system makes its way further south which we are looking at a fair bit of lifting dust and sand coming in murky conditions could affect travel as we go on through the weekend laura. that is animals that i have on al-jazeera why donald trump may be behind the online retailer amazon is plummeting share price

tight for her arrival in islamabad a government source described the lack of as necessary for what is a sensitive visit. use of say rose to international prominence when she was attacked by masked gunman on her way home from school in two thousand and twelve that then fifteen year old was shot in the head punishment for her defying the pakistan taliban ban on girls' education in her home district of the swat she was airlifted to britain for lifesaving treatment and has been living there since she continued her schooling united kingdom getting top grades and enrolling in oxford university she also continued campaigning for education and shovelled the world supporting local advocacy groups in two thousand and fourteen she won the nobel peace prize the youngest ever to do so age seventeen noticed pick up noticed are books and. they are lost far for weapons one child and one teacher one book and

one thing can change the was. despite her worldwide acclaim many don't regard her as well me back in pakistan as some say she portrays her country a negative light and is seeking her own fame but there was a lot of you know kind of a mixed opinion about milan and what does people even criticised. an agent of the west that was a lot of people want to read a. news of her return was welcomed on the streets the capital but also highlighted the need for further development. that she has brought pride to pakistan she's got a noble award the attack on her was very unjust but mullard is not the only girl from pakistan there are also other girls of the same like we should take care of our women like we are taken care of her the timing of her visit is important skeptics point out this is election year in pakistan and the homecoming could be

seen as good publicist how to hawkster al-jazeera. shandon us is a women's rights activists who was in a meeting with malala today she joins us now from islamabad via skype good to have you with us so how was smaller feeling about being home. thank you actually it was more emotional because people are looking at my last visit that she's bringing some agenda or i that she's here for election year but. who was looking at malala because because because she was from us and student she's from us so that was like a real floor because it is a country the situation in pakistan is not so good volume and i've defended it but today the veda state to give protocol to well and recognition because victory were demanding when she got the ideas nobel prize at that time we went we were hoping

our government to build recognise because she is she'd have done a great job ok this is deliberate at least the government of pakistan they recognise. and give the state protocol and so this is not only for the book. we are considering this is for the women of pakistan because that in cleveland woman in baucus time there are also facing challenges of. influence of gravest and eastend such type of things so i think that is when the that there are so more mainly the media meeting was not a seminar or a just meeting it was sharing our emotions all of yet feeling. after such a long time she's was eating in pakistan and then she was sharing her feelings so

that was more emotion and ok even loopy wacking person of eighteen some eighteen years promoting women's rights and she's in pakistan in the region have you seen malawi as global celebrity but stays efforts in pakistan. after course because you know i still remember been well out of us and she was she's spoken bonafied program and the local media haven't depict malala from our program so she become stud so says then we had looking because at that time it was not easy in a bottle and society where the father should acknowledge that more things had dr bucks now we are looking the one thing the change in the family they had a lot of fathers there uploading photos of their own daughters and celebrating dead achievement like grades in the schools and colleges so this is one of i think this is the impact the second impact for us is. it's

a space space for young because at least in baucus mostly the very men thought of recognizing the very late age so she was recognized at the age of fifteen so i think that is the second impact is full of the huge you know has already had been set aside so it's a dump and i just want to get one more question in because she does hunt does have critics doesn't she in pakistan just wondering how safe she is and how safe she feels back in her home country today then the vote the vote in the meeting so how far that even i met with the family i spent some time with the family mother and brother and another. family member but soul devoted not expecting such warm. reception for my lot of because the older brother he was a bit to. consent but to not hold their very satisfied nor doubt

there are people there that they're not happy but. on how to short trip we had gone thing on happiness and viet. assuring. her family. all new all this is their all. and nor can deny citizenship. ok. very good indeed to speak to thanks for joining us there from islamabad our judge in the united states has cleared the way for families of the victims of the nine eleven attacks in two thousand and one to sue saudi arabia almost three thousand people died in a series of coordinated attacks in the us by al qaeda families of the victims came saudi helped plan the operation of course new york now says it can hear the saudi care the case which saudi arabia had attempted to have dismissed the families

shows atika for reports. closing bell the price of amazon shares had dropped by some five percent in the course of the day that's a loss of close to fifty billion dollars to shareholders. this is a consequence of report that president trump is and i quote obsessed with amazon i applaud the formation of the innovation council and angry at its owner jeff bezos here in conversation with president trump during a roundtable at the white house the last time amazon suffered the scale of loss follow this tweet in august last year amazon is doing great damage to taxpaying retailers declared president trump town cities and states throughout the u.s. are being hurt many jobs being lost. perhaps not coincidentally basis is also an up the washington post that has been twinned with amazon in disparaging presidential tweets the report quotes an unnamed source as saying trump has

wondered aloud if they may be any way to go off to amazon with anti trust or competition lol despite this being the domain of the federal trade commission and the justice department the white house denies a particular policy is being considered against a particular organization we have no announcements and no specific policies or actions that were currently pushing forward or considering taking the president has said many times before he's always looking to create a level playing field for all businesses and this is no different and he's going to always can look at different ways but there aren't any specific policies on the table at this time. and assurance that may ring hollow to shareholders who have lost billions as the possible consequence of a president once again publicly thanking them. for al-jazeera so has had on al-jazeera. after viewing staving cameron's bruising face on the
