right. there on line. if you join us. this. i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who. joined. at this time on.

words. will hold. longer. but the surprise announcement says little about its existing. we'll bring you a special report. international chemical weapons inspectors are at the site of the suspected. washington. to the united nations calls for an independent investigation into.

a fifteen year old boy who was among the. iranian officials. really believes they relied on and were streaming online through you tube facebook live and that al-jazeera dot com the north korean leader kim jong un says his country no longer needs to test nuclear weapons and long range missiles he's also closing in nuclear test sites well the announcement comes just days ahead of a planned meeting with the south korean president in and a future summit with the u.s. president donald trump the suspension though stops short of the international

demands for a complete denuclearization kathy novak begins our coverage from the south korean capital seoul. north korea regularly tested increasingly threatening ballistic missiles last year including weapons that could have the range to hit the united states in september it conducted its most powerful nuclear bomb test now north korea says those tests are over so it. should chip picture we will discontinue nuclear testing an intercontinental ballistic rocket test firing from april twenty fifth. the north and you could test ground at the d.p. r. k. one also be dismantled to transparently the discontinuance of the new quick test. it's welcome news for the us president who's planning to meet north korea's leader kim jong un within weeks donald trump tweeted north korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site this is very good news for north korea and the world big progress

look forward to our summit state media says kim jong un made the announcement as he chaired a meeting of the workers' party central committee a gathering to rubberstamp the supreme leader's decisions it was at a similar meeting five years ago that kim unveiled his signature policy to prioritize the development of nuclear weapons and the economy the message from the leader now is that weapons program development is complete and the focus will shift to the economy currently under pressure from a u.s. led sanctions campaign. would you call kim jong un care a fight that now that the case position as a wall of level politico ideological and military power has been successfully established it is the strategic line of the workers' party to concentrate all efforts of the whole party and country on the socialist economic construction kim is apparently seeking to cement his position on the world stage following his

meeting in beijing last month with china's president xi jinping talks with cia director mike pump aoe in pyongyang and ahead of a historic summit with south korea's president monday and on friday south korea welcomed the announcement calling north korea's decision meaningful progress for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula the president's office said it will contribute to creating a positive environment for the success of the upcoming intercourse rian and u.s. north korea summits china has also welcomed the announcement while japan's prime minister was more cautious. never thought of north korea's announcement is forward motion that i'd like to welcome but what's important is that this motion leads to complete verifiable and irreversible dismantlement of north korea's nuclear and missile programs north korea's promise to stop weapons testing didn't go that far it cleage to never use nuclear weapons unless there are nuclear threats and you

clear provocations against it cathy know that al-jazeera seoul. fisher joining us live from washington d.c. as kathy was saying in her report president trump seems to be very pleased with this announcement alan is this being seen in the states as a win for his policies. well the interesting thing about donald trump's tweet is that he wasn't claiming the victory for himself he said it was good news for north korea and for the world and he's looking forward to the summit no we know that might compere the cia director the man who donald trump would like to be the next secretary of state spent the christian easter weekend in north korea speaking to the north korean leader but essentially laying the groundwork for the summit that the expect to take place sometime later in me or perhaps even june and he may well have been expecting some sort of announcement but we north through history that the north koreans are actually very good at promising certain things to get other parties to the negotiating table and then not following through on those promises

so while there is optimism perhaps in washington d.c. and in other capitals i don't think anyone is hanging out at the banners at the moment thinking this is a wonderful moment and there's been a huge step forward they will want to be able to in the words of ronald reagan from so many years ago trust but verify and any more detail on the logistics off that upcoming summit between trump and the north korean leader. well there is no talk at the moment there's a number of venues that are under consideration on the north korean peninsula itself perhaps the d.m.z. perhaps on an american warship off the coast of korea's you'll remember in the past that the koreas have always insisted that denuclearization of the korean peninsula means the removal of u.s. troops and that has been a red line for america the voters walked away from negotiations this time north korea says that that doesn't have to be on the table but it's interesting that the

north korean announcement comes just twenty four forty eight hours after donald trump when meeting with the japanese president and his monologue a state said that if he didn't get anything from the summit if he didn't think it was going well then he would respectfully walk out and also saying if there was an indication that they could achieve anything that he didn't see any point in going so perhaps the north korean response has been to say look we're going to give you this in the hope that they will get this high profile summit which would confer some sort of legitimacy on their president in the world's eyes given that there hasn't been a high profile visit by my pump it was to north korea since madeline albright did a number of years ago when she was bill clinton's secretary of state all right alan fischer thank you for that update from washington d.c. well in two thousand and three north korea pulled out of an international treaty aimed at curbing the spread of nuclear weapons so since then it's conducted

increasingly sophisticated nuclear and missile tests which picked up pace especially at last year the miss outs their size and reach have improved over the years their range has expanded beyond pyongyang's neighbors like south korea and japan to reach mainland u.s. and much of the world last july it successfully tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile the fourteen with a range of more than ten thousand kill. ometer is putting parts of the united states within reach for the first time and in august it tested the mid range was song twelve capable of striking the pacific island of guam which hosts a major american military base within a month north korea conducted its sixth nuclear test claiming to detonate a hydrogen bomb and finally in november it tested its most powerful and farthest reaching intercontinental ballistic missile yet the one song fifteen that potentially puts most of the world within its range well north korea also claims

that it has successfully developed a nuclear warhead small enough to fit these missiles but these claims have not been independently verified margaret casal is an associate professor at the ivan allen college of liberal arts is joining us now from kodiak that's in alaska via skype thanks very much for speaking to us we have a lot of viewer interest in this story so all put to use some of the questions that i'm getting here on the news grid war and saying i think there is a lot more behind kim's words than we are seeing on the surface do you share that point of view what's behind this announcement by the north korean leader at this point. thank you for taking the time to speak with me first of all i'm actually in atlanta this time i'm not no lask over here are sorry making to all summer. yes this is the question that's out there is what is the intent now in doing diplomacy

one needs to come into it having some faith that it is genuine now when dealing with north korea because of their track record you know there's you have to be cognitively guarded in terms of is this real you know why are they doing this is this meant to be a show of was there confidence regardless of the intent this is a good sign moving north korea back towards the international community in gauging is a good positive sign what were the drivers as a whole nother question and it regards to what could he have potentially gotten from the united states in order to make this announcement or what is he hoping to get back from the u.s. with this. conciliatory tone we can call it that well is it

a conciliatory tone or is that a a first mover offer and i think that that's very important again as your other correspondent mentioned the trust but verify you know we need to be seeing things physically being dismantled otherwise it's a latent capability intel they decide that they want to again test missiles we don't know are there additional testing facilities that have not been declared so there's a whole lot of uncertainty in terms of thinking about this and in terms of moving forward and what also real what heads go ahead. oh and in doing this not only are the heads of state and the secretaries of state really important but these details are actually going to be done by folks who are further down in the in the government and in it's particularly important to have those positions in place

confirmed by the senate and the civil servants who have the depth of knowledge and when kim says in the statement that was released by north korean media that it was no longer necessary to conduct missile test because nuclear weaponization had been achieved what do you read into that statement what does that tell us about north korea's nuclear capabilities at this point well it tells us what they want us to believe now in terms of the specifics you know again this is trust but verify so they are certain they certainly have done the typical things that nation states do in terms of moving to being a nuclear status nuclear weapons power you know but in terms of specific capabilities that level of technology we can speculate but beyond what has been observed. one cannot say with any confidence and one frankly

should be suspicious of anyone who does. label it anything other than speculation beyond what has been observed all right so margaret cosell thanks for joining us good to get your thoughts on the news good on al-jazeera thank you. as i'm saying a lot of interest there in this story and henry saying north korea did not roll over they have a plan and krisna saying good news from north korea while north korea's governing ideology is called so that roughly means self-reliance al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james bays has been given rare access to the capital to see how this philosophy of self-reliance works. come. welcome to pyongyang certainly the cleanest most orderly and probably the most controlled place i've ever visited. rush hour in the city yet the traffic is like

the roads of quarks although all of them little comfort. doubt this extremely hard working society everyone striving for the good of the state says this is how workers essential. revolutionary slogans flags and drums. in this city the portraits and the statues tell the story of this isolated nation run by three men all from one family. the grandfather and the country's founder kim il sung the father kim jong il. and the son the current leader kim jong un who told he's too modest to have mosaics made of him but he's everywhere on the state controlled media on television and in the newspapers. in the center of the city the tallest landmark the jew che tower

jew chair your self-reliance is the governing principle of this nation of twenty five million people our guide explained it's not about self-reliance of the individual but instead that individual koreans must do all they can to make then mation self-reliant we are holding the self-reliance. appled in the film were known for lying in bed in the live power nation the death of the main point and the nuclear weapons of course yes we made the nuclear weapons by our own effort bearing technique def the main point after taking. for years north koreans have been told the nuclear program is something that will keep their country strong and that the us is their mortal enemy both are messages that will now need modification as talks approach under some of the stiffest international sanctions ever imposed north koreans say ju che or self-reliance is the answer.

in the subway trains inherited from east germany a growing old handful of new carriages were produced in north korea we were told this seat was designed by kim jong un himself. it seems the leader takes direct interest in many areas of national life he made a visit to the main shoe factory at the plant producing the korean national dish kimchi made of pickled vegetables we were told the air conditioning system was supervised by the supreme leader and as an old people's home we were told he was the architect of this staircase such benevolence is of course matched by total respect kim jong un has never granted an audience to the international media he's never given an interview i got about as close as an outsider can get to him i was attending a performance of

a visiting chinese ballet company in pyongyang when supreme leader kim entered the theater and the crowd clapped continuously a standing ovation with cries of her a her a it only stopped when he himself signaled with his hands james phase al-jazeera pyongyang so that. james is exclusive reports from pyongyang and here you can see the major nuclear detonations around the world there they are and compare north korea's sixty it's a nation that took place in two thousand and seventeen to other large nuclear tests by nuclear armed states so our online team put it together you can find it by searching for north korea in the search button on al-jazeera dot com. if you have any comments or questions we are ready to receive them at the news grid we're on facebook at facebook dot com al-jazeera we're on twitter our handle is at a.j. english use the hash tag a.j.

news grid and you can send us a whatsapp or telegram plus nine seven four five a triple one one four and just use the hash tag a.j. news grid after days of waiting inspectors from the global chemical weapons watchdog have finally visited the syrian city of duma it's the site of a suspected chemical attack that killed at least forty people that happened two weeks ago the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons can only verify if there has been a chemical attack but cannot say who's behind it the attack in duma sparked international outrage and prompted missile strikes on syrian chemical facilities by the u.s. the u.k. and france the syrian government and its russian ally says say it was all staged. facts presented but the syrian government and russia to show that the incident had been deliberately stage have been ignored this is the we have

a lot of this kind of footage from the russian television and of course from the international one this is the story about the boy his name is. and he is eleven years old so basically what happened that day when the whole so-called chemical attack was staged he was brought he was called by the white helmets to the to the hospital he was offered some swedes kooky is something and he was but of the staging of all the so-called gammick will attack you see this boy it's you know it's the image after the stage that ted and he was with his father. so as you can see there's been a stark rise in conflicting reports online or social media producer joining us for more on the it's three we're seeing a lot of dissent from asian campaigns related to syria and russia in particular in the past few months for example the poisoning of the former russian spy sergei st

paul in the u.k. britain says that russia was behind the attack while russia denies this now social media users have picked sides each accusing the other of spreading fake news we spoke earlier to ben neemo who researches these types of this information campaigns . there have always been disinflation campaigns on social media there have always been fake accounts on social media if you look at the claims of a false flag attack particularly there's been a real surge of those since the duma tax i carried out a study of that a couple of weeks ago and that depending exactly how you measure it the uses of the word false flag in relation to syria climbed by about seventeen times between the seventh and eighth of april so there was a real horse vertical takeoff and then it stayed at a very high level that there after now that's not necessarily to say that there were no claims of falls from flags before and in fact there were there are programs

in accounts which were. calling the script how poisoning the souls we poisoning a false flag right up until the news from syria of the gas attack broke and then they started calling the syria gas attack a false flag so what you see is that the amount of disinformation changes from subject to subject and there are always been disinflation campaigns right now there's a lot of this information going around about missiles replies in ng and about syria a year ago it's an outrage in iran and the april twenty seventeen sarin gas attack four years ago there was a lot of disinformation around the shooting down of malaysian airlines flight m x seventeen over ukraine so there are certain topics which suddenly get a large push of this information and then it moves on to a different target. nimmo says that most of this disc information comes from just three places accounts that support the kremlin those that support syrian president bashar al assad and far right accounts which say they are based in the united states and europe and the coordinated social media campaigns coming from russia

seem to have spiked lately they're not new now for years the white helmets have been a big target of pro kremlin and pro assad media accounts they say that the group is linked to al qaida that has been vigorously contested by the organization and its supporters so all of this makes it extremely difficult to know what and whom to trust online we want hear from you tell us your stories of debunking fake news you can use the hash tag ha news group and let us know or message me directly i'm anderson. and you think you will just an update on a story we brought you two days ago on syria at the time the syrian government had given eisel a forty eight hour ultimatum to evacuate areas south of damascus and now state media and activists have confirmed that work planes have started a military operation against i so how districts in the capital's south read more about that on al jazeera dot com palestine's ambassador to the united nations is

calling for an independent investigation into israel's use of force against protesters four palestinians including a fourteen year old boy were killed by israeli gunfire on a fourth consecutive friday of demonstrations on gaza's border at least thirty nine people have now died in four weeks of protests as palestinians call for the right of return to their ancestral lands from gaza here's bernard smith. that's right i had dreams for her some most mothers share a good education marriage children. but a bullet to the had from an israeli sniper means this family now has to bury fourteen year old mohammed ru along with those dreams. while there are no hard balance says. i used to tell him one day are living conditions will improve political divisions will and i had been pushing him to continue his studies despite everything. mohammed was protesting near the guards israel border fence at easter

or on friday if he was throwing stones they probably weren't very big. this family video from last year shows mohammed at the zoo he slight aged just thirteen here it's hard to imagine six months later he posed a serious threat to the israeli military. death prompted an unusually strong reaction from the u.n. special coordinator for the middle east peace process nicholai martin off said it's outrageous to shoot at children how does the killing of a child in gaza today help peace it doesn't it feels anger and breeds more killing . a former israeli military spokesman responded please go to gaza engage hamas and get them to stop sending people to defense stop palestinian incitement and organize riots at the border and donald trump's advisor to the middle east stepped in a full investigation by israel of mohammad are you to death is underway as we mourn the tragic loss of

a young life we must all resolve to avoid causing more suffering by responses to his death. mohammed's father says he couldn't stop his son joining the protest for palestinian rights who doesn't. know there he was always smiling always teasing to me his father who was not a kid but the brave the whole neighborhood loved him never said no to anyone he just want to see our original village in israel. was. buried the day he died the youngest victim so far but the palestinian great march of return burnet smith al-jazeera gaza we were looking at the online conversation relating to this and we'll provide a bed and bring and we're back in because the actress natalie portman has been trending online and her. so the academy award winning actress has become the biggest topic of discussion on social media in israel and palestine after she decided not to attend an awards ceremony in jerusalem portman is

a jerusalem born israeli american actress who was selected to win the genesis prize which is widely known as the jewish nobel it comes with a two million dollars cash prize to donate to philanthropic causes of her choosing but she'll no longer be selecting recipients for the prize after her representative told the genesis prize that recent events in israel have been extremely distressing to her and she does not feel comfortable participating in any public events in israel and that she cannot in good conscience move forward with the ceremony so the genesis prize foundation canceled the ceremony saying that they didn't want their initiative to be politicized now past winners include new york city mayor michael bloomberg actor michael douglas and the artist aneesh kapoor the foundation is partnered with the jewish agency for israel and most importantly here the israeli prime minister's office so people are arguing now on social media over what this actually means with most assuming that it's about these recent events in gaza now

the palestinian campaign for the academic and cultural boycott of israel says that decades of egregious human rights violations against palestinians have made its brand so toxic that even well known israeli american cultural figures refuse to whitewash israeli crimes and because so many supporters of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement has have supported her decision portman it's now been highly criticized by members of netanyahu government including israeli culture minister mary reg of who says that the actress has fallen into the hands of b.d.s. supporter so then portman responded on instagram saying that she does not endorse b.d.s. movement but says israel was created as a haven for refugees from the holocaust but the mistreatment of those suffering from today's atrocities is not in line with her jewish values she would also have. so had to share a stage with benjamin netanyahu whose comments she labeled racist in two thousand and fifteen when he was seeking reelection you may remember he warned in this video clip here that arab voters were heading to the polls in droves he also said that

a palestinian state would not be established under his watch now the israeli organization peace now says bravo for speaking truth to power peace loving supporters of israel they say should snub netanyahu after years of him trying to destroy the chances for a two state solution so let us know what you think about this you can share your views using the hash tag is in his grade or message me directly i'm doing just to pick up on what andrew was saying about b.d.s. you can log on to al-jazeera dot com to find out more about the boycott divestment and sanctions movements now. moving on and actually staying with palestine in the family of a palestinian engineer malaysia says he's been killed by the israeli intelligence agency mossad how much has confirmed the university lecturer was a member there's been no israeli response has so mad about a reports. this is to an identified gunman opened fire

at. the thirty five year old palestinian engineering lecturer was ambushed as he was walking to was in nearby bosc in the capital kuala lumpur colleagues of the university are shocked and has been by the killing so we don't see any thing dangerous we human or the only thing that we can see of he's. the only thing that could be is because of his expertise in his field of electrical engineering. a neighbor told reporters that he saw two european looking man nearby shortly before the shooting their family blame israel for the killing. of. the israeli mossad is to be held responsible for that because the israelis can't tolerate any well educated arab and particularly palestinian mentality israel considers any well educated distinguished arab or particularly palestinian figure

as the real big threat for israel how mass which controls gaza said was a member of the palestinian group has repeatedly blamed israel's spy agency mossad for targeting its members including into. a tizzy an expert in joan technology was shot in his hometown of in december to police said the killers of one. posed as foreign journalists hamas said he was instrumental in developing drones and was a command of its armed wing. brigades. here with the news great if you're joining us on facebook live you're about to see a story on a woman in california who has won a landmark court case for equal pay and then later in the program hundreds rally in zimbabwe. after the government fires thousands of nurses it's led to

a health care crisis in the already impoverished country. however as the rain fades away from afghanistan it's come back from those writing running through nose in egypt and through syria recently and you can see from the cloud where it's like to be full cost wise it's clearing up from the east side of that with the wind direction means it will cool down in egypt for example drew some down to nineteen baghdad on the opposite wind direction is up to twenty nine and the potential for a big thunderstorms exists here they tend to kick up sandstorms as well but it's largely a rainy story runs across the border into iran stretches up towards terre so what couple of days here as well i suspect and the breeze you'll notice it's noticeable and i think that will be telling further sas for the arabian peninsula as

a dry picture we pick yet more dust so the picture on sunday could well be a pretty dusty world the eastern side of saudi arabia through qatar and back right i think that dust will ease come monday the breeze eases as well temp she was up to thirty nine is a forecast and there which beats mecca that's a pretty hot part of the world southern africa gone by steve quiet now we have seen a few big showers recently but really we're talking about the ones on the coast so if you're in south africa on the whole you can just enjoy the big wide open skies. to one predictable legions i've been working on north korea policy for almost thirty years i can't tell you what the u.s. policy is towards north korea vying for power what they want to deter an attack from the united states as the u.s. struggles to define its foreign policy fold lines examines the potential fallout so

we don't see really is a strategy designed to get those talks started because if they expect to surrender fire and fury trumps north korea crisis on al-jazeera we're here to jerusalem bureau cover israeli palestinian affairs we cover the story with a lot of intimate knowledge we covered it with that we don't dip in and out of this story we have a presence here all the time apart from being a cameraman it's also very important to give journalists to know the story very well before going into the fields covering the united nations and global the policy for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks happen and what happens there matters.

len. he's. on al-jazeera dot com but right now these are the top trending stories and the top spots a story out of iran anger in iran as morality police scuffled video goes viral and in the second spots of the palestinian scholar killed in kuala lumpur the family is now blaming the israeli mossad we brought you that story just a few moments ago right here on the newsgroup.

that story out of iran andrew proving to be a very popular read on our website right now what's that all about sugaring if you click on it if i click on if anyone clicks on this article on al-jazeera dot com you'll read my colleagues i usually this report from tehran about the wave of criticism being directed towards iran so-called morality police. the incident in question shows female officers violently confronting a young woman who had starforce loosely worn in public as you can see they start exchanging insults before the officer starts beating her while her friends tries to intervene though this video has been seen millions of times since thursday and a number of government officials have weighed in the interior minister abdul raise that rahmani fuzzily ordered an investigation into the incident which he calls an unconventional encounter of the morality police officer while must assume a ethic are she's the vice president for women's affairs she condemned the behavior

that no human deserves and earlier on saturday president hassan rouhani also criticised the morality police in a speech to government officials this is what he said some say the way to promote virtue and for his advice is to go in the street and grab people by the neck adding that promoting virtue will not work through violence so after it went viral you tube for some reason removed the video that we saw earlier someone here is one person who was unhappy with that he compares it to removing videos of the holocaust or north korean victims because they are quote unquote inappropriate so iranian activists started to hash tag about this ayatollah you tube to criticize the company for being a tool of the iranian government saying that there are so many more violent videos on their site and that criticism seems to have worked because the videos are back on the platform now iranian law requires that women completely cover their hair and wear loose garments to hide most of their body and skin and the morality police.

i've been less visible since rouhani came to power in twenty thirteen and his office actually commissioned a survey which found that half of the population forty nine percent think that the government should have no role in dictating women's wear you probably know that dozens of women have been arrested in recent months for participating in demonstrations like these removing their head scarves in public places off my head but he is an iranian american journalist who explains one reason why trends appear to be changing. i believe there's a big difference between past and is technology eternal and even the strongest in the realm of. camera smart cell phones social media they use these of course you see to publish shows the stories of the whore i think this is a big pressure on you don't go over them and iranian people you know you even can change you know government behavior rules so you heard there what things and now
