so history is made on the korean peninsula at this very moment the leaders of north and south korea along with their wives are getting ready to sit down for a full dinner after a day of talks and symbolic gestures they've just signed an unprecedented declaration calling for a peace treaty that would replace the armistice there's been in place a sixty five year as well as early on friday morning kim jong un became the first north korean leader is a set foot in the south since the end of the korean war in one nine hundred fifty three kim and south korea's president in later planted a tree that's a gesture meant to symbolize peace and after that they sat down and began talks aimed at reaching an agreement on issues including pyongyang's nuclear program. well the joint declaration by the two leaders has laid the groundwork for future

progress both sides agreed to refrain from the use of force and to end hostile activities by ground air in sea loudspeakers will also stop broadcasting propaganda across the demilitarized. family reunions a promise for august and there were plans to develop road and railway links connecting north and south korea the two sides agreed to work towards a permanent peace treaty through talks involving the u.s. and china and they also agreed to pursue a common goal of a nuclear free korean peninsula. egad i also. you know i feel that we are part of one family and both countries will have a new policy of cooperation after years of disputes we are here today to say that nothing will make us different again and i will say this for north koreans and the south koreans are now sharing one spot on the map and they represent one country in

one way or another and we hope to achieve the ambitions and hopes of both countries to check him under john it's very significant that north korea took a measure of freezing its nuclear activities first it will be a valuable beginning for the complete denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula came jong un and i declare that there will be no more war on the korean peninsula and a new age of peace has begun. more now from our diplomatic editor james bays from power on the south side of the border. technically they are still at war but this was carefully choreographed to create a new atmosphere of peace north korean leader kim jong un entered from the north side of the demarcation line the south korean president moon jay in the seat at the concrete block that marks the start of his country's territory.

a historic handshake. and then something in all the years since the korean war the kims father and grandfather never did a north korean leader crossing into south korea. it was followed by a reciprocal gesture moon jay in very briefly crossing the line into the north. thank you both leaders seemed relaxed and was smiling but of course they hope this summit is only the start of a process and that's likely to be complicated and will involve difficult negotiations. among the most harrowing the dame's this meeting i hope that there is new history written with regards to p. for prosperity and i will approach this with the feeling of a brand new start i'd like to discuss all issues as standing honestly and frankly i would like to take this opportunity to say that i hope to have a very good conversation the president today honest frank and we intend to. come on

. when the supreme leader across the demarcation line on this historic moment there is a mensa expectation almost all over the world and i hope this discussion is productive let's approach this discussion boldly in wishing for peace and i like to give something very big to the people looking at us we have all day to talk and let's do so and make up for the ten years that we have the past. probably got two of our correspondents on the story adrian brown is in beijing and we've got kathy novak who is on the south side of that demilitarized zone starting with you then kathy this a declaration the joint declaration to come from the two leaders is pleasing to many what are the points do you think that will go down well in south korea particularly . well i think south koreans will welcome this

declaration that there will be no more war on the korean peninsula this is something that the south korean president mungy in has been promising for some time now it has certainly been a big day for him there are these been these commitments to move two wars a peace regime into and the current status that was brought about in one nine hundred fifty three when the armistice was signed and hostilities in the korean war and now we're hearing from both korea saying that they want to move on from that and that they want to pursue meetings between the two koreas and the united states and also a meeting between the two koreas the united states and china important there because it was north korea china and the u.s. representing the u.n. allies that signed that armistice at the end of fighting in the korean war south korea wasn't actually a signatory so moving to wards a peace treaty you would need presumably to involve the u.s. china and north korea so that's some of what we heard from kim jong un and mungy in

today donald trump from for his part seems to be welcoming this in the last few minutes we've seen him tweet korean war to end the united states and all of its great people should be very proud of what is now taking place in korea but about fifteen minutes before that he also said good things are happening but only time will tell of course this is all coming before that important expected meeting between donald trump and kids young and that is expected to take place in late may or early june when julian had long been saying that he hopes that this interfering in summit would be positive so that it could set the scene for that meeting between the united states and north korea something that has never happened before and we heard from kim jong un today saying that he hopes to implement the agreement today so that the stakes of the past are not repeated when we saw into korean summits in two thousand and again in two thousand and seven we had a decade. aeration there that were never implemented but we saw changes of

administration after those meeting in the united states and then in south korea now you have two leaders in monday in and donald trump who have only been in office for a year and have more time to implement these agreements so that it's hoped that there can be real progress moving forward martin all right kathy thank you very much she's going to beijing now and adrian bray brown adrian so this was a statement that was quite big on the ideas on the concepts but quite short on the details are enough in this to satisfy the chinese. i think the outwardly the chinese are being very cautious of the moment martine but also trying to be positive as well i think chinese leaders will be studying the text of the joint declaration very carefully indeed over the weekend i mean a few months ago it seemed that this part of the world was on the brink of a nuclear war now it's facing the prospect of peace but it may not be quite the

deal that china ultimately wants because the joint declaration talks about one country that seems to point towards a unified korea and china really worries about a unified korea right on its doorstep it doesn't know whether that would be good or bad for china but it would certainly mean potentially the china would lose influence over the korean peninsula and it worries of course that could some of the twenty eight thousand u.s. troops currently in south korea now remain in a unified korea but we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves you know ahead lie you know months or years of negotiations china will feel pleased i think that it's now back in the game in a sense because the joint declaration refers to the prospect of four party talks taking place later in the year involving china involved the united states as well as the two koreas because china has really found itself in an unusual position it's been on the sidelines of

a major international event that is happening right on its doorstep now in the past in the days and weeks leading up to today's summit china has said that is supports the idea of a nuclear free korean peninsula it supports the idea of reconciliation it wants to have a peace treaty but what it worries about is a peace treaty that perhaps now turns into full unification adrian brown live in beijing thank you. now the un human rights chief has told israel to stop using excessive force on palestinian protesters in girls and they drugged out hussein also called on the government to bring those responsible for deaths and injuries to account thirty six palestinians have died in weekly demonstrations on girls's border with israel over the past month more than five thousand people have been injured many by live fire well the committee organizing the demonstration said this week's marches being dedicated to the thousands of young people who have come to

the protests is being called revolutionist friday seventy deca joins us live now from the gaza israeli border and we've seen such terrible scenes over the past month or so what's the scene like today on the fifth friday. yes well there is less people than we've seen over the last couple of weeks but certainly we are expecting more to come usually around this time more and more people make their way to that fence i'll just get some here to show you the job graffiti behind us what you can see is where you have these tents the sit in that has been happening for those for the last five weeks or so now what you see ahead of us is really what is putting pressure on israel this is the three hundred meter buffer zone as israel calls it this is still inside gaza and this is where protesters have been moving towards the fence many times trying to put the palestinian flag on that fence we've seen that happen today this is also the area

where israel has been using life fire we've seen two sniper shot since we've arrived but it was much earlier on for the last couple of hours what we've been seeing happening back and forth martín is tear gas being used by these raids you can probably see that mount higher up that's where these raids snipers are so the chances are very very close they've been using tear gas to disperse and they're also using a microphone speaking in arabic saying move back from the fence it's for your own good but certainly you know we are expecting more people to come but the the perseverance i can tell you is the same here we've seen people with makeshift got smocks because they don't have access to these kinds of things in gaza martine and people will tell you that they're going to keep coming back even though there is that risk because israel's used such incredibly excessive force when it comes to lie fire as you mentioned there thirty six dead just yesterday we were at the funeral of the second palestinian journalist who was killed i'm a double hussein twenty five years old and he was just milling around in

a crowd like that when the sniper. basically targeted him and shot him so there is a feeling here that the israelis are targeting them to stop what is happening but certainly at the moment we haven't seen any life fire being used on the protesters it's all right from now stephanie thank you stephanie. lots more to come here at al-jazeera including armenia rejects talks with the opposition this turmoil continues days after the prime minister resigned. a gruesome reminder of their own ended genocide mass graves discovered that could hold more than two thousand bodies . helen sundra turned to the korean peninsula throughout japan the good part of northeastern china cold fronts gone through the still a bit of rain as you can see that's what the cloud is representing but it's not

on skype but where democrats go. i cry because it's really far back in the late one nine hundred sixty s. and early one nine hundred seventy s. britain kicked out the people of the che cause archipelago in the indian ocean so the u.s. could build a military base on diego garcia the largest island they were forced into exile in the seychelles often living in poverty but in two thousand and two a legal change allowed verma and their children as well as a small number born between certain dates to apply for british citizenship and now a community of several thousand lives here in crawley south of london but hundreds of them don't qualify for a british passport and the local member of parliament is now proposing legislation giving them that right and cutting the cost involved from fourteen thousand dollars to less than three thousand later generation born in russia born in the seychelles don't under normal nationality law have an automatic right to you cases and shit through no fault of their own because their ancestors were forcibly exiled from

their rightful home but at the same time many feel they're being doubly punished by a legal situation which keeps them and their families apart. people like doris are hoping the renewed focus on immigration from commonwealth countries will help their families in their push for the right to british citizenship barbara al-jazeera clearly in southern england. the remains of more than two thousand people killed during the one nine hundred ninety four rwandan genocide have been discovered in a village close to the capital kigali the bones were among four mass graves buried almost twenty metres below ground the site is next to where a hutu militia checkpoint was set up during the genocide more than eight hundred thousand people most of them to see were killed in the violence between two ethnic groups nigeria's senate has summoned president mohamed bihari to testify about the government's response to recent communal killings on tuesday at least eighteen
