this is. why i'm suitors and this is the news hour live from london coming up came junk a new history with south korea as he becomes the first north korean leader to set foot across the border since nine hundred fifty three. we have a really great relationship that we actually have had a great relationship right from the beginning but some people didn't understand that president donald trump hosts germany's angela merkel at the white house playing down rumors of a rift three day does more palestinians are shot during protests at the gaza border despite the un urging israel to stop using excessive force. and campaigners celebrate as the e.u. approves a near total ban on pesticides that are harmful to peace. i'm

a shared along prive. conversation on the historic border branch which connects the two countries event helped plant a pine tree on the border symbolizing peace and prosperity using sol from both the north and the south a diplomatic space has more from punching on the south side of the border. technically they are still at war but this was carefully choreographed to create a new atmosphere of pete's north korean leader kim jong un entered from the north side of the demarcation line the south korean president moon j in waited 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 the north korean leader crossing into south

korea. but. it was followed by a reciprocal gesture moon jay in very briefly crossing the line into the north. 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. on the most and on the danes 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. when the supremely leader crossed the demarcation line on the systolic moment there was immense expectation on us all over the world and i hope this discussion is productive over lunch the north korean leader and his fast moving security detail headed back to the north side so he could confer with us.

other members of his delegation then a few hours later a symbolic moment of tree planting using earth from the mountains in the north and the south and water from the two biggest rivers on both sides another image filled with symbolism as the two crossed the footbridge together then in a move highly unusual in international diplomacy they stopped the two leaders sitting face to face alone with not even no takers for overhaul for an hour on ing out the final issues of their declaration it was signed and they made these statements. to charge him under john it's very significant that north korea to come measure of freezing its nuclear activities first it will be a valuable beginning for the complete denuclearization 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 and again i also know your eye injury and you know i feel that we are part of one family and both countries you 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 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 on the fact that this summit took place in itself is historic but if some of the things in this declaration actually happen they too will be landmark developments of formal end to the korean war a peace treaty between north korea and south korea and the return visit by president moon to pyongyang in the fall. one part of the agreement though will face particular scrutiny and that's the pledge of denuclearization of the korean peninsula the language used in the declaration gives no concrete details and no

timeline the wives of the korean leaders join the delegations through a formal banquet to end a long day of diplomacy but this is only the start of a lengthy and very difficult process james pays al-jazeera posher in south korea and the u.s. president has welcomed the developments as a white house press conference together with the german chancellor angela merkel donald trump said he was optimistic about his upcoming meeting with conjunct i want to congratulate the republic of korea on its historic summit with north korea where encouraged by president moon and kim jong un's expressed goal of complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. i will be meeting with john in the coming weeks we look forward to that and hopefully it will be productive.

well joining us live now from washington d.c. is jenny towne she's the assistant director of the us korea institute john hopkins university thanks very much for coming on algis there i'm sure you'd be surprised this meeting went so well or we in the way getting carried away with the symbolism of his. well it's a little bit of both i think i don't think we should be surprised that it was successful they have put a lot of work into this and there has been a lot in the lead up to the summit to ensure that the messages that were coming out were expected everyone was going in with their eyes open and that they would get the outcome that they wanted but there is a lot of symbolism here and there is a lot of hope here there's a lot of positive energy here but there's still a lot of work left to be done although this does help create the mandate to do that work and to carry that forward into the u.s. d.p. r. k. summit if kim's intention with his development of nuclear missiles was to get

a seat at the top diplomatic table it certainly succeeded hasn't it but many worries still that he is committed to getting rid of this also no or is it just what he wanted to be in this position. well it certainly gives him a lot more leverage in the discussions and i'm sure he's coming into this feeling more confident and feeling more at strategic parity with the big powers but it does give him a lot of flexibility as well so now that he's already proven and already declared victory on the nuclear side of his policy there's a lot more that he can give early on in a process of towards denuclearization that will play well to the international community as we start to change the nature of political relations and to see if we can get down a path where we where there is a fundamentally different. environment where they might be able to justify moving towards the harder parts and dealing with the nuclear arsenal itself recently going

to give us a different side of him today he was even joking i think one point with the south korean leader that maybe his missile launches are kept him awake. in the future he hoped this wouldn't happen but the ferry assigned to this is north korea is still being very much seen as very bad record in human rights very bad record and some of the treatment of some of its citizens so it's easier supposed to see this is all sweetness and light but there is another side here. certainly you know and it should be remembered that there are a great just human rights in north korea and that this is an issue in this denuclearization process in this peace process that will have to be addressed as we move towards normalization because we you know it's very difficult for the western world and for you know soccer japan and those that have suffered under this regime to normalize relations without having a better having those dialogues and having some reconciliation on these human

rights issues jenny used the word normalization some people have even used the word reunification are we getting added also. i think we are even in policy a lot of it really sizes and prioritizes reconciliation first peace and prosperity and i think you know there's a still a long road to get to sustainable permanent peace and prosperity before you start talking about the more complicated issues of unification but certainly a lot more can be done to help bring the two sides closer together and help create some opportunities for family reunions and for humanitarian missions that can help improve relations and help improve the cultural understanding between the two countries now as we move forward towards a more peaceful and hopefully more prosperous region grateful for your thoughts on this very special day journey town there speaking to us live from washington d.c. . so as we had earlier donald trump has been hosting the german chancellor angela

merkel at the white house the iran nuclear deal featured high on the agenda as the u.s. house president to withdraw from the landmark two thousand and fifteen deal merkel has only spent a few hours in the country in contrast to france's president emmanuel macro he just finished a three day visit but the president was quick to play down rumors of any rift we're working on a lot of different subjects including trade including nato including military of all types and we have a really great relationship and we actually have had a great relationship right from the beginning with some people didn't understand that but we understand it and that's what's important but very extraordinary woman to talk more about merkel's visit let's go now to james catch a qusay visiting fellow at the brookings institute center on the united states and europe and joins me also from washington d.c. thanks very much for coming on james first of all in that press conference after

that meeting president jiang really wasn't pulling its punches especially obviously about strained about tariffs and about nato contributions it did get a sense that the had been some tough talk possibly in that meeting. well it was certainly a lot friendlier than the last press conference they held a little over a year ago that was famously where in the white house in the oval office beforehand president trump refused to shake chancellor merkel's hand there were some statements that were made there were a little off putting by the president last year this time they were much friendlier there was more easygoing in the u.s. are obviously substantive differences between the president and the chancellor on some of these key issues that you mentioned but the tenor of the relationship seems to have proved significantly if this basic stance is it's almost an ideological difference that they have to be had between sort of nationalism and

internationalism where they stick a cut from very different cloth. you know they definitely see the world differently president trump is obviously as you say a nationalist america first nationalist he's very wary of alliances international institutions multi-lateralism you know he let's not forget he criticized on the american on the campaign trail running for president probably more than any other world leaders specifically because of her position on the migrant crisis of two thousand and fifteen two thousand and sixteen he said that she was destroying germany but you know now that he's been in office and he's president he said today that she's been a fantastic leader so it's unclear you know whether or not he actually believes this or if he's a saying it because he's a he's in a few sips peaker but certainly they come at the world from. very different perspectives it took about this being a friendly a meeting than the last time but the atmosphere compared to that visit with

president just a few days ago was very difference that the tenor of the conversations is very different do you think in a way macron aziza time the american now is a kind of main engine the crew to with the e.u. obviously the u.k. off the agenda because of brecht's does it now all about president. yes you know precisely because the of the strained relationship that president trump out with chancellor merkel also let's not forget he's been a strong critic of germany's not spending enough money on defense in terms of their nato commitments and the trade surplus neither of which is really an issue with france france has a pretty healthy military budgets they just sided with the united states in bombing bashar al assad two weeks ago so he's not really president trump isn't concerned on that front there's not a major trade imbalance with france and also just in terms of the tone of the relationship between the two of them president bush has done a very excellent job

a very savvy job of charming the pants off of president trump i mean even you saw this week he was able to criticize him quite strongly actually speaking to the to the congress on global warming but you get the sense that because he'd work so hard on trying to build trust with president trump on trying to impress him by bringing him to paris last year for but still day the trump almost respects him more he he sort of appreciates mccrone is boldness in a way that i don't think he sees the same i don't think he has the same sort of respect for chancellor merkel so yes france is absolutely emerged as being the main interlocutor with the united states from europe and that's that's a job that that chancellor merkel had held really for all eight years of the obama administration and now the roles been flipped a very good speech of that james kirchick speaking to us from washington d.c. thank you and the time. still to come on they sound is there

a different direction from where the protests have been focused all day the israeli soldiers had to reposition themselves the army issued a statement saying there was an attempt to infiltrate the border that they acted within the rules of engagement to throughout it the soldiers opened fire. it went on for quite some time. the ambulances raced to pick up the wounded. guys suddenly ran in this direction to the fence threw stones at the soldiers then the israelis opened a heavy fire there are many injuries so there really is a feeling here that people have lost their fear israel has said it will shoot the oh they get right up to the border fence because the people here will tell you they have absolutely nothing left to lose. earlier in the day a small victory for these young boys israeli forces had warned the protestors over

welcome back reminder of the top stories here on al-jazeera south korean president new j.n. has declared a new era of peace on the peninsula after hosting north korean counterparts. for a day of meetings the band of agreed to work towards full denuclearize ation u.s. president donald trump has hailed what he called a historic meeting between the leaders he said americans should be proud of the korean talks he's also due to meet king in may or june. and three palestinian protesters have been killed by israeli fire in another day of demonstrations along the gaza. israel border. india's prime minister narendra modi has met chinese president xi jinping in the city of new as the

powerful neighbors seek to reset troubled ties the countries were involved in a tense seventy two day military standoff last summer over disputed border region of doc lamb to turn china both claim the area which is in the tri junction while india supports returns claimed there also tensions over she's signature belts and road infrastructure and the shooting of india objects to it because one of its branches runs through pakistani administered kashmir which india claims india has also long been suspicious of china's traditionally close ties with pakistan while china is suspicious of india's hosting of the dalai lama and exile tibetans. well joining me in the studio is it anand he's the head of politics and international relations at the university of westminster based and london i've seen people commentating on this meeting as almost having it as a game changer do you think is that significant not to tall in fact if you look at

the media chinese media is more measured compared to the indian media and indeed we did almost obs as in that movie the first indian prime minister to have been received in this manner by the chinese leader and all the basically points out perfectly in case of in this case the asymmetry of relation between india and china where in every india looks up to china or india is more anxious about china than china is about india not surprising in the indian news is getting a little carried away with it all but it is a departure from obviously the stand off from last year i mean they really were on the brink last summer so to get to this stage now they've had to to to pull back i suppose that's true but we also have to keep in mind that in that case also there was a lot of almost his studio hue and cry when if you look at the statements made by the military on both sides they were going more measured than what the media was doing but in a way since last year india has been very cautious about china more than that in

also recognize that less if it's a stench in a china than china will become even more close to pakistan there already is and therefore there was a strategy on part of indian government which of course very different of the indian government would like that india rather than challenging china almost backed out there and was very careful to use the language of measurement and then recently of course indian government also passed a circular asking if the visuals not to meet the dalai lama to all these indicated to china that in north keen on having doc so this is an informal summit of course what would happen is too strong macho leaders essentially meeting both of them very nationalist both of them disliking minorities both of them suspicious of foreign forces and trying to sort of reduce tensions. but with it can be reduced or not we'll have to wait and see and you kind of mentioned already the elephant in the room pakistan the one nation is almost in between the two with with relations incredibly important with pakistan what do you think the pakistanis are saying when they're watching this from afar again if you look at i mean when the pocket is

unlikely that of pakistani government our military is unlikely to react off usually because they would not want to alienate china and they would be hoping that this informal summit remains informal and nothing concrete comes out of it and that the tension between india and china which is prime radio will be under under the that process but pakistan would have an anxiety because pakistan has to defend itself largely from u.s. and with donald trump making it very clear that it still believes that pakistan have been doesn't know how than done enough for to fight against extremism and terrorism but the sun depends heavily on china so they would want this to remain more often or sort of shaking of hands from agreement here and there but nothing substantial so pakistan would remain anxious about it but again china is a country that has made it very clear that if it becomes close to one country doesn't imply distancing from other countries. have them taking much of a risk why having this meeting is could it backfire on them not to talk again we're dealing with two very strongly didn't give up she jinping he is almost an absolute

leader there is not challenging to him in fact he would be seen as sort of a state force and was reaching out to a country that's going to be the chief of china in the region india so he would be praised for that anyway he controls everything very good of china in case of not in will be again he the strong leader here figure opposition within the country because indian economy isn't doing well he's been selling to indians that essentially he's a leader who would make india a great india is not becoming great internally if anything if more minorities are suffering in everything else but if you lean to foreign leaders and through these foreign with it into the regime through to you kiran terry the me the more these essentially give the message to india the more the the strong leader recognized and respected by everyone in the world and hence indian should vote for him again in the next election which even twenty one thousand very interesting to torture about this to be ash and on thanks very much for coming in. argentinians are struggling with the rising cost of consumer goods with some of the poorest families especially at risk inflation has fallen to less than half its peak of forty seven percent in

twenty six days but is still the second highest in latin america after a tour is about reports. of u.s. lives in one of the poorest areas of when a site is. more you know a place that when it rains it is isolated from the other parts of the province because the buses won't dare to go in. but these days she has another reason to warri. a.t.p.'s also paid for this piece of beef and eighty and it just goes up and up and we are trying to catch up but my husband's salary doesn't go up in the same way and that's the problem. might he lives in this house with her husband and two children inflation is a major issue in argentina especially in places like this one because it affects people's lives in every way this family for example says the food that you can see in this refrigerator from tomatoes eggs among other things they see the prices rise

every month and that is physical for them to make ends meet. since taking office over two years ago president markey has been struggling to cut a double digit inflation rate inherited from the previous administration. but it hasn't been easy the government has also lifted the subsidies on utility bills that allow d'argent times to be cheaper electricity gas and water but that has also had an impact on prices. that's why this week baker's gave away over five thousand kilos of bread because they say customers cannot afford the rising bread prices anymore so i think the mood of the rise in the prices affects us because it has caused a rise in the costs of making bread but we cannot continue to pass the rising cost to the people because they cannot afford it if things go on like this then i will have to shut down. mackie's popularity has suffered in recent months because of

some of the m. popular economic measures he has taken in the last year. the president says he's convinced he's doing the right thing for argentina. it is a law that nobody pays for the subsidies of gas and electricity we all pay for it with inflation and debt to pay for energy we have to end our selves a debt that our children and our grandchildren will. i have to pay the other alternative was to implement shock austerity measures but we are choosing to be gradually no reforms so that no argentine is left behind. with a changing government argentina has become the darling of emerging markets but high inflation rates continue to be a challenge especially for people like madeline who have to struggle to get by. deceit when a site is. now modern up to top parts of asia africa notes of all the cultures and styles represented in the united states one has been noticeably absent from public

display until now i'm just curious christensen lamie has more on a first of its kind museum in the u.s. state of connecticut. of all the art in the new palestine museum us these paintings by sami a holiday for the special place for its founder one of the. best known palestinian artists in the world she lives in the united states she was the first to donate works for display and get behind the first and only institution in the entire united states dedicated to the art and culture of the palestinian people since then palestinians from around the world of got behind it for years the posting and watched. as the media the human eyes posed to news and cast them in a very negative light through the museum in the united states we hope to change the discourse. from the political arena to the artistic arena the museum has

more than seventy paintings ranging in styles from realistic to abstract as well as photographs while the focus is art and culture many artists bring the political realities of life under occupation to their work like this installation called a time to cast stones highlights and stresses that is the symmetrical nature of the conflict poston young children throw rocks at israeli soldiers israeli soldiers bullets many american museums refused to show this exhibit which features the work of palestinian children and their impressions of israel's attack on gaza in two thousand and fourteen you can see that the images are very graphic and do not preach radio israeli military in a positive light. the mood at the grand opening was one of celebration and defiance u.s. based being was just one of the artists to attend and we are determined the

supposed and your people to move forward and or feels now believe that this museum is an example of that accomplishment and we will move you know in the visual arts even if we have to create our own museums and exiles the hope is to attract more investors and eventually move the museum from its suburban home to a major city christian salumi al jazeera woodbridge connecticut the european union has voted for a permanent ban on pesticides that are harmful to peace campaigners call it a tremendous victory for the environment while pesticide company bear goes it's a sad day for europe and its famous fruit and vegetable crops are pollinating by bass and other insects but modern farming techniques have been blamed for a steady decline in numbers and if barker reports. life as we know it

might be in trouble the numbers are falling at a dramatic rate recent winters half the bee population in europe died bees are vital pollinators for fruit and vegetable plants a third of all crops are dependent on them. a growing number of scientists believe one of the main reasons for the decline is down to the industrial amounts of chemicals we're putting on crops to kill. the most widely used to retype called me only cotton oids extensive studies have linked these chemicals with falling the numbers be applied directly to the sea as the plant grows that pesticide goes through the plant i want to pest feeds on it it gets exposed to the pesticides but the problem is that baby feeds on that flower on for months and months and months and it's that low level exposure over an extended period of time is cause concern there are thousands of varieties of different bays two hundred fifty here in the u.k. but the rise of modern agriculture mean that at least three different types of bumble

a great job and everyone's happy for a couple of decades and then it turns out that actually they're doing a lot of harm to the environment so we ban those and we replace them with something else and we keep doing that we don't seem to actually be learning from our mistakes so what's the alternative how do we protect farmers and the environment how do we feed our growing populations but avoid killing more b.s. the debate is on. the al-jazeera. still ahead this news hour. we'll step on hit the wall a day off the promising to drive with more control. business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places to get the.
