thank. you one welcome to the program first to washington d.c. where the french president emanuel says he wants to work with the u.s. to forge a new nuclear deal with iran he's out what he's described as very frank discussions with the u.s. president donald trump at the white house on day two of his state visit our white house correspondent kimberly how that reports on the day of contrasts between personal friendship policy differences. military welcome on the south lawn of the white house as u.s. president donald trump greeted france's president emanuel back from. what appears to be a warm friendship was on full display tromping even somewhat oddly perhaps deciding to wipe some dandruff off of a cross shoulder if we have to make a burger he is perfect but as the parent barked on the substance of their bilateral meeting from had a stern warning for iran they restart their nuclear program they will have bigger

problems and they have ever had before his statement underscores the leaders key foreign policy differences truck favors was drawing from the iran nuclear deal as one of the signatories to it mccraw and was to preserve the twenty fifteen agreement to limit tehran's nuclear powers before may deadline on whether to pull the u.s. out or not trump wants his concerns addressed those include a plan to stop iran's ballistic missile testing and limit iran's influence in iraq yemen levit on and syria a chronic agreed they may need to address those issues to keep the deal alive. news on iran we disagree on the j.c. but i believe we can come up with something that can deal with the fundamental issue of the j.c. way which is the nuclear issue but also deal with these other three issues that are included. trump again suggested gulf nations need to make

a larger financial investment in syria's future stability as security following the defeat of eisel the countries that. are there that you all know very well are immensely wealthy they're going to have to pay for this but the meeting appeared to do little to ease fears of a looming trade war with no sign trump agreed to exempt the european union from tariffs on steel live aluminum imports set to take effect on may first we have the very first issue on trade which is overcapacity is still in a limb in him it doesn't come from europe and other than from france the meeting between u.s. president donald trump and french president emanuel mccraw has highlighted key policy differences between the two leaders their divisions mccraw may address on wednesday before a joint session of the u.s. congress can really help that al-jazeera at the white house well earlier we spoke to jeff like a middle east security and european politics specialist from the think tank the

atlantic council he says the french are realistic about how much influence they can have over u.s. policy the french embassy here in washington was saying this visit is first and foremost about friendship about protocol about symbols because they understand that they can come with the best proposal possible about about addressing tribes grievances in the iran deal and that the president may be warm to them today and then call to them tomorrow so they've been very cool to play down any expectations obviously micro was persuasive today he got a good hearing from president trump but john bolton my point hey we're going to weigh in on this as well and so it's really too early to say and the president didn't make any commitments today so we've still got some time before we'll know where president trump comes out on this deal three cis eyeball massive attack the pakistani city of queta killing at least six peace officers one bomber detonated his explosives near police truck on the war road towards the airport whilst two of us attacked a paramilitary checkpoint on the city's outskirts fifteen place and soldiers were

wounded in the attacks and no one has so far claimed responsibility. well 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 and we think will take place on the southern side of the truce village of panmunjom with correspondents on both sides of the demilitarized zone and kathy novak has been at the venue where the leaders will meet a 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 bumpy but very quiet it's also in places extremely wide one pyongyang resident speculated to me this was so aircraft 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 front line 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 garm across to the southern side to tell you that at the top yes. we continued on the route that the north korean leader will take for his historic meeting on friday past the building where the one nine hundred fifty three armistice was negotiated and the hall where it was

signed by the north koreans and by a u.s. 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 hearthstone there where in the past military officials from this country have met the other side and just over there that building is where the historic summit is supposed to take place. this

is also being 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 al-jazeera on the north korean side of the de-militarized zone or from the south side of the demilitarized zone here's 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 jong un meets 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 cambridge

university academic at the center of the facebook data scandal has appeared before a british parliamentary committee alexander colgan is linked to the u.k. based cambridge analytical firm it's accused of improperly accessing the information of eighty seven million users through a facebook john holl explains. well two pretty interesting bits of testimony heard from different sources of course in the facebook cambridge analytical data breach scandal first of all speaking to a parliamentary committee dr alexander kogan he's the man who produced the app that was used to harvest the data of some eighty seven million facebook users and then illegibly pass it on to cambridge analytical for use in influencing the donald trump campaign and following that swiftly it was a press conference given by cambridge analytical defending or dealing with what it described as ill informed and inaccurate speculation about a company that well alexander kogan insists as he has done before that he did

nothing wrong back in two thousand and fourteen both sides he said knew precisely what was going on what he was doing no one raised any objections then he says he's being made a scapegoat by facebook that describes him as a liar and a fraud his product as a scam and cambridge analytical that says the data he produced was in effect will take a listen to this exchange from the briefing in which the committee suggests that his motivation may in the end have been commercial gain since the payments. apart from the suitable thirty thousand for your role in this was to keep the data exactly much you could then use you in your academic life or perhaps that was part of the deal only god was the deal i was rewarded with data ok you say residents that you've got some you've had university ethics approvals for all your academic work. did you have university approval for for that deal for the commercial it's not yours so there's not a mechanism for

a company to go out and seek out its approval for a commercial deal and the university over say is over are going to have it is this side of the. right but 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 campaigning 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 brig's it campaign take a listen. the company has been portrayed in some quarters is almost some bond villain cambridge analytical is no bond villain whilst no laws were broken we have acknowledged where mistakes have been made and a full independent first to go shouldn't being conducted by a q.c. is being conducted as we speak well mr mitchell described cambridge analytic as

a fantastic world leading data science company he said the media outlets leading the coverage against it were doing so because of a political agenda so it's come on the news hour i mean to turn to the streets of kiev around this time marching to mourn the country. and we ask questions them back to this is garment industry five years on from the factory does that they claim one thousand one hundred lives. how low well i'm sacked they let slushy fine and dry across sas australasia we've got this area of clouds making its way for the southeast with so it will be a little fresher than it has been recently soko fronts the temperatures forming
