like. donald trump on a man well mocambo the white house and suggests reworking the iran nuclear deal. for them to. live from london also coming out. of north korea prepared to meet in their first summit for more than a decade we were quote from both sides of the demilitarized. the man at the center of the facebook personal data scandalous question and course scorn on the idea that information was amy. when we asked what's changed in bangladesh's garment industry five years on from the factory disaster that claimed one thousand one hundred lights.

a very warm welcome to the program washington where the french president manuel mccall says he wants to work with the u.s. to forge a new nuclear deal with iran is what he's described as very frank discussions with the u.s. president donald trump at the white house calls says it's not about tailoring the existing agreement apart but the building upon it. google she did take. it you know you consider that the around in the go shit in two thousand and fifteen is a bad deal for a number of months i have been saying that this isn't a sufficient detail but unable to us until at least twenty twenty five to have some control over their nuclear activities we therefore west from ny on to work on a new deal with iran what we need to cover our four topics block any nuclear activity in iran until twenty twenty five this was feasible because of the data the second is to ensure in the long run that there is no nuclear activity third is to

be able to put an end to iran's ballistic activities and fourth is to generate the conditions for a political solution to continue iran in the region where they may be a randian what they should have done is included syria when i say should have before giving them a rand one hundred fifty billion dollars and one point eight billion dollars in cash one point eight million dollars in cash if you think about this before giving this kind of tremendous money they should have made a deal that covered yemen that covered syria that covered other parts of the middle east where iraq is involved where iran is involved they didn't do that. candy how is that the white house for us hi there kimberly so if the fence then that they dreamed up a new best said. yes it appears that that's exactly what has

taken place though it took us a little while in that press conference to discern exactly what they were talking about essentially when you put all of that sound together on the issue of iran it appears that there are some key differences among the two leaders that emanuel believes that the twenty fifteen agreement to limit iran's nuclear power in exchange for the lifting of sanctions is working so let's not touch that but certainly he recognizes that donald trump feels that the deal is one that has particular loopholes that were not addressed and so as a result it appears the men have struck a new deal that would in essence build upon the initial twenty fifteen agreement in the words of emanuel mccraw that it would be the twenty fifteen agreement would be one pillar of a new and broader deal that would address security concerns beyond twenty twenty five it would also address the issue that has been of concern for the trumpet ministration as they typically will refer to as iran's destabilizing activity in

other words the influence that iran has in places like yemen in lebanon in syria and also that there would be a mechanism within some new agreement that would allow for the stopping of ballistic missile testing by iran something that has also of been of grave concern for the trumpet ministration so this was the highlight of this meeting so far that does continue but as well there was also an addressing of something that seems to be of concern and that is sort of linking the regional in lack of security in syria to these iran agreement you heard in the sound bite there donald trump kind of mentioning though that he feels there's a need for some of the regional players wealthy players that he did not name specifically but that there needs to be some funding for it so that the united states could eventually withdraw in terms of its military presence in syria and kimberly what i've traded mack home get what he came for. doesn't look like it

looks like there's still some work to do there and that might be the one point where emanuel mccraw is going to be open to some criticism particularly back home you know we have this sort of deadline looming of about a week in the showdown and looming trade war with respect to the tariffs that are set to go into place with foreign imports into the united states of those tariffs on aluminum and steel of course the european union acquiring a temporary exemption but it doesn't appear securing a permit exemption which is what the european union is looking for sort there's still some work to be done there's some stime to go but time is running out it appears this is an issue the foreign leaders and foreign ministers will still have to address can be how come they're joining with the latest from the white house kimberly thank you.

all the leaders of north korea and south korea are due to hold a summit this friday it will be the first direct meeting between the country's leaders for more than a decade they're expected to discuss bringing a formal end to hostilities between the two countries the meeting will take place on the southern side of the tryst village of panmunjom we've got correspondents on both sides in the demilitarized zone kathy novak has been up the phone and you will the leaders will meet the first this from james based on his road trip from pyongyang to the border it takes over two hours to drive from the north korean capital pyongyang through the countryside to the d.m.z. the demilitarized zone. the road is from people very quiet it's also in places extremely one hundred one pyongyang resident speculated to me this was so craft could land with reinforcements in the event of conflict once we reached the d.m.z. security was tight we were not permitted to film in certain areas. our guide

was a north korean army captain he showed us the layout of this frontline zone this is not an international border the korean war officially never ended it was simply paused with an armistice or truce. is it possible for you to show us where the meeting on the twenty seventh will be taking place between field-marshal kim and the president of south korea. to cuba it's the peace house on the southern side so this is the first time any of your leaders government crossed to the southern side to him is that at the moment yes we continued on the route that the north korean leader will take for his historic meeting on friday pass the bill there are the one nine hundred fifty three armistice was negotiated and the whole where it was signed by the north koreans and by us general on behalf of his country and their allies fighting under the u.n. flag it's estimated that in just three years up to three million people were killed

as a professional soldier how hard is it going to be with your field marshal sitting down with those that have been your enemy to monitor what arnold is accused if dear supreme marshal is with us surely all the problems will be solved peacefully and that's what we firmly believe and we were taken on to a tall a building and up some stairs where you could view the line that separates communist north korea from democratic south korea. from the north we have this vantage point of the demarcation line the blue hot stone there where in the past military officials from this country have met the other side and just over that building is where the historic summit is supposed to take place. this is also been suggested as a place where kim jong un could meet donald trump no venue for that planned meeting

has yet been formally announced the leaders of countries whose forces have been facing off against each other for decades will soon be meeting face to face james bays out zero on the north korean side of the de-militarized. from the south side of the demerit so on here kathy novak we're often reminded that the two koreas remain technically at war an armistice not a peace treaty ended hostilities in one thousand nine hundred fifty three and it was signed here at the joint security area at. the two sides agreed then to establish the four kilometer buffer zone between north and south known as the demilitarized zone or d.m.z. it's still heavily guarded on both sides and has been the site of tensions over the years north korean soldiers killed two u.s. army officers in one nine hundred seventy six landmines injured south korean soldiers and twenty fifteen and late last year a north korean defector what's shot by fellow north korean troops as he ran across

the border not far from where i'm standing. this year as relations improved between the two koreas this village has once again been used as a venue for high level talks within the d.m.z. the military demarcation line marks the actual border between north and south in this room when i walk over to this side of the table i'm crossing into north korea so it was significant when earlier this year a delegation from the north stepped over the border for talks after two years in which there had been no official communication between the two countries and when north korean leader kim is on the need south korea's president at the end of the month the meeting will be held in peace house on the southern side it will be the first time a north korean leader steps on south korean soil since the korean war three suicide bombers have attacked the pakistani city of quiets a killing at least six police officers one bomber detonated his explosives near

work. did you have university approval for for that deal for the commercial it's not yours so there's no real now can isn't for a company to go out and seek its approval for a commercial deal and the university over over say is over iraq than a disability this side of the. rubble after that as i said there was a press conference given by a spokesman clarence mitchell for cambridge analytical in which he stressed that none of dr kogan zz data had been used in any political campaign he said that cambridge analytic had only a brief five month tenure with the donald trump campaign he said it had never worked for either side in the brics it campaign take a listen. the company has been portrayed in some quarters is almost some bond villain cambridge analytical is no boned villain whilst no laws were broken we have acknowledged where mistakes have been made and

was unsafe survivors say they were forced to work regardless of their five years on and family members of some of the victims gathered at the designs to cite demanding justice and a bag and says her daughter's body was never found and when i was up like a little my daughter never returned from work i keep looking for her but i have no idea where her body is she used to be the main earner in the family i don't have a son to this day there is no justice. round eighty percent of the seventy five million garment workers willed white women rights groups say they often have no chance of negotiation wages are abused exploited and forced to work in i'm safe conditions. the tragedy and lead to an agreement between some clothing brands and unions designed to better protect of bangladesh the workers since then

around two thousand factories have been inspected and nearly three million workers trained in fire safety with a monthly minimum wage of around sixty five dollars remains well below the world bank's global poverty line of eighty five dollars a report by a u.s. based rights organization concludes that thousands of government factories in bangladesh remain in dangerous places to work. n.y.u. stern center for business and human rights says one point two billion dollars is needed to make all garment factories in bangladesh safe it says popular brands and retailers and governments all have to do more to improve garment workers rights and safety in some while they there are some progress but as a whole we can say this for this is not and that they do not believe that they are not organized that they do know needs healing in now one that this this is excellence was and therefore the government said that it is not what it does

friendly or rather that it is friendly for the business people it seems fashion changes faster than human rights evolve in the garment industry so many of the women who make the clothes we wear remain vulnerable to exploitation working in factories that are far from city center shopping malls and far from safe trial stratford al-jazeera. well steve needed from the international labor organization says there are still many things that can be done to improve safety for workers. nearly every exporting factories been inspected for for structural far far a little safety those which posed an immediate danger of being closed a lot of changes in safety a lot of changes in the regulator environment and capacities so yes there have been improvements but there's still a lot needs to be done still a lot of challenges ahead of it what we'll find since run across a lot a lot of sub contracting companies are actually closed of going out of business

some of the biggest subcontractors are still in operation but they are there working to far higher compliance far standard safety standards so again i think we've seen a consolidation in the industry smaller more dangerous companies are out of business those who can meet the standards can work safely are prospering from what's important safety has improved but at the same time labor rights also need to improve there can be no real safety in this work is voices are heard so there's still a considerable level of mistrust in banging their fifteen workers and employers this needs to be breached steps are being taken but it's a considerable challenges still a long way to go. continuing with demonstrates is now calling for the resignation of president daniel ortega human rights groups say at least twenty six people have been killed in a violent crackdown by police on the protests which began last week john homeland reports. people continued to come out in the streets of nicaragua despite president donnie it'll take a pic ching the reform to the social security system that is first sparked protests
