sanctions. knows this so he came to the table with denuclearization card. for more than two years the relations had to be unfrozen and we couldn't access the kids on industrial complex but finally on the twenty seventh the summit is scheduled that would mean that after the summit the issue will be discussed and industrial complex will be the top priority i am full of such anticipation. well al jazeera has been granted rare access to north korea people there have been celebrating military foundation day that commemorates the creation of the korean people's revolutionary army in one nine hundred thirty two it's mandatory for men to serve between three and five years in the army and there is selective conscription for women diplomatic go to james bays reports now from pyongyang. they are everywhere but you're not allowed to film them we only got these pictures when we first arrived in pyongyang before it was explained politely but very firmly that

taking pictures of military and security personnel was forbidden. the north korean military is believed to have over a million soldiers the city was badly destroyed during the korean war most of the buildings were built in the decades immediately after the conflict the military history of this now isolated nation is revealed as you travel around the capital city. this monument marks the defeat of the japanese who occupied korea until the end of world war two a few years later the korean war which had a devastating human cost on both sides this is a country that was forged in war and is still even now on a war footing. yet. younger koreans at this school of thought the history of the korean war war images are displayed in the corridors.

older koreans meanwhile need no reminders the hunan during those americans is just hearing about them makes my heart tremble my father was killed by the americans when i was twelve so whenever i hear about those americans i get overcome with hatred it makes my heart tremble suma la forthcoming talks will center on north korea's nuclear program but the country has a substantial conventional arsenal to the principal target of their artillery guns the south korean capital seoul earlier there in the other half of this divided land i spoke to a lawmaker a military expert who told me the world should not only focus on the nuclear threats. the biological weapons are honestly more fearsome the nuclear weapons from our perspective the destructiveness of a one ton nuclear warhead can be achieved with only four kilograms of anthrax in terms of casualties in seoul it is estimated that north korea has stockpiled over

five thousand tons of chemical weapons song all military first is a longstanding north korean strategy in recent years the leader kim jong un has added another track a cautious and partial opening up of the economy now for the first time on friday he'll be adding in high level diplomacy james days out jazeera pyongyang. well james diplomatic as he joins us live now from across the border in june in south korea james give us a sense a where you are as you walk us through the main focus of their discussions. well i'm overlooking north korea right now where i was in the developed tris zone just a couple of days ago is just over there beyond the highway beyond the razor wire the other side of the m.g.m. river and there you can see north korea now in a matter of hours it's in north korea that the events of friday are going to start

because it is the north korean leader who is going to be crossing what is still an active front line there was no peace treaty at the end of the korean war in one nine hundred fifty three just an armistice or truce he'll be crossing that front line for this summit meeting at midnight thirty g.m.t. the very start of friday in europe here in asia it will be in south korean time nine thirty am north korean time nine am the two koreas can't even agree on a time zone to get the feeling after your days perhaps weeks across the other side of the border james that the reason that the main reason they've managed to pull this off so far is that they kept the dialogue pretty simple but ongoing the pressure has been there constantly. well the pressure certainly been on north korea with those very tough sanctions and also the words

that have come out of the u.s. president donald trump and many analysts and diplomats i've spoken to here on the korean peninsula in european capitals and at the u.n. in new york believe the added factor of president trump is probably what changed it and particularly that bellicose speech that he gave at the u.n. general assembly that i think changed according to all of those i've spoken to the calculations of the north koreans they've known all along how to calibrate their response to the actions of the u.n. security council but president trump is something they really have not expected and it was just hours after that speech at the general assembly in september by president trump where the north koreans had a meeting with the u.n. and fix the meeting that the u.n. to be trying to sort out for months with a u.n. official the then head of the political department of the u.n. to come to north korea and it's there that he floated the idea of the north koreans

city and connecting and forming a. once again a substantial crowd and they will have big boy. things are taking. things are happening quickly let's put it that way. well. everybody has one lines was proud of what he told us here but if that's to happen of course. he's going to be. able to see a part of the things that's going to be happening like just focus on the. whole show you know you. try to get out of the right to get members of the republican party to throw their weight behind you and so you know the situations would change you. have the right to take home yet very noisy street.

as the day progresses nichole passion young robin if he's just about to make that incredible jump from being a protest leader to being a politician to maybe being prime minister who is he as a politician. let's not forget that he's already a member of parliament. he has his party in parliament they could civil contracts they have six seats six or seven seats but they really have every minority and yet now we've heard. most of the other political parties coming along . and so we're talking about six or seven seats now that he needs to be in a position to be elected he himself is an interesting chap you've seen him in a straight. he's always caring is. unshaven he hasn't had

any sleep or much sleep for the last few weeks he's got a black eye and it and a hand injury from. when the police rushed the protesters a couple weeks ago. but he's a journalist originally. a lawyer and. somebody with a reputation for having very clean backgrounds being a smart man he said a smart strategy so far that seems to be putting off he said he's liberal in his outlook but he has always stressed as well that he's not pro western russia is pro . robin thank you. the french president has used a speech to the u.s. congress to washington to reject nationalism and to preserve the iran nuclear deal though later emanuel did say he is not confident donald trump will stay within the iran nuclear deal and has proposed a new agreement to be negotiated with tehran that expands on the existing arrangements white house correspondent kimberly how could. the president of the

repeatedly for years trump is now signaling he's open to recertify iran's compliance under the terms of the deal but only if his criticisms are addressed with the deadline for donald trump to make his decision just weeks away european leaders are conducting a high level lobbying effort on friday german chancellor angela merkel will be the next to visit the white house she'll work to persuade try to remain in the two thousand and fifteen iran deal but iran says a u.s. withdrawal will kill it tehran has threatened to respond by pulling out of another agreement the nuclear nonproliferation agreement on weapons and wednesday iran's president question trumps ability to even comprehend the terms of any agreement show milk or ship hot streak you don't have any background in politics you don't have any background in law you don't have any background on international treaties or going to tradesmen a merchant someone who builds towers for

a living make judgments about international affairs and well he's currently signaling he's open to the u.s. for maining in the deal negotiated with iran and five other world powers given his impulsive nature there's still time for trump to change his mind and follow through with threats to leave the iran deal kimberly health at al-jazeera at the white house. lost most all to come here on al-jazeera we gained exclusive access to a prism of the afghan government is holding i so fighters. and picking up the pieces six months after one of somalia's worst attacks with a busy market is back in business. allen has been a bit of a boost in the shadows a frequency and
