this is al jazeera. blogs the whole robin you're watching the al-jazeera news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes crossing the line to create history the leaders of north and south korea pledged to work on complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. also at least three palestinians were killed in israeli fire during friday protests along the israeli gaza border. and german chancellor angela merkel meets donald trump over their differences on trade and iran's nuclear deal. and one of the biggest pop bands of its time reunites after thirty five years.

welcome to the news hour u.s. president donald trump has vowed to maintain the maximum pressure on north korea until is complete to denuclearize ation on the peninsula his comments follow a historic declaration of peace from the north and stealth korean leaders on friday asked about the future of u.s. troops on the peninsula trans defense secretary said it would have been discussed with u.s. allies such as well as pyongyang our white house correspondent kimberly halkett reports with the historic summit of the leaders of north and south korea now over u.s. president donald trump says he hopes he can build on that success with his own meeting in late may or early june with kim jong un i think the responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of the president of the united states and i think we have i think i

have a responsibility to see if i can do it that goal complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula the korean summit ended with few measurable steps to meet that goal the trumpet ministration maintains a meeting with the u.s. and north korean leaders will not occur unless concrete moves towards denuclearization are clearly demonstrated little rocket man trust tone has dramatically shifted from the name calling of last year a truck promised further missile testing from north korea would be met with fire fury and frankly power just this week trump referred to kim as very open. and i think very honorable from everything we're seeing the shift is evidence of the ongoing high level talks north korean and u.s. officials have been engaged in still trump wouldn't confirm or deny he's spoken directly with the north korean leader and i want to comment on that plane i'm sorry

we had to have a very good working relationship it is known mike pump ale the new secretary of state met with kim over the easter weekend some human rights activists are skeptical a trump kim meeting well ultimately be successful i know the diplomatic track record of the kim regime it is not good this is a regime that has breached and violated each and every international agreement it's had the logistics for the upcoming meeting are still being worked out according to the president it is now down to a choice between two countries for their historic meeting kimberly health at al-jazeera at the white house will keep you on message the momentous meetings all came across the border into the south becoming the first north korean leader to do so since one thousand nine hundred fifty diplomatic editor james bays has more from you in south korea. 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 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. but. it was followed by a risk. typical 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 a much head on the danes it's 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 to cross the demarcation line on this a story that moment there was an 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 other members of his delegation then a few hours later a symbolic moment a 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 a 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 now an awning out the final issues of the declaration it was signed and they made these statements. chuck human touch on its very significant north korea to come measure of freezing its nuclear activities fast it will be a valuable beginning for the contemplate 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 and a good i use only i you know i feel that we are part of a. when family in 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

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 a 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 joined 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 bays al-jazeera power shoe in south korea well joining me now on skype from richmond virginia in the u.s.

is mark fitzpatrick he's the director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies good to have you with us live on al-jazeera. while the impression is that the negotiations between the two koreas sort of have evolved they can't really evolve diplomatically can they when you have china on one side and the u.s. on the other they play a very important parts in the long term peace equation. exactly to end the korean war with a peace treaty requires the participation of the united states and china who were the main belligerence in the war now the united states has left those talks between north and south and i think it's very good that north and south of the ones that initiate this but they need the other parties and then put the denuclearization united states will be a major player there and will be wielding the number of the sanctions that it is the leader in imposing says it won't be lifted until north korea removes its

nuclear weapons i mean the circumstances all similar to previous negotiations or meetings that we've seen before me why would why should we. at the moment be optimistic of success at this time some commentators believe. right. there are a lot of reasons you have to cope we've seen so many things go wrong in the past although there was one major success in the past of the one thousand nine hundred forty three years and wrote korea's nuclear program for a number of years if we could achieve that this time that would be good the reasons i'm a little optimistic is that there is something new put in young kim jong un the new leader has done things that others have not done before just today of course walking into south korean territory he's making offers without requiring the united states to remove its troops that is an interesting perspective and in doing

that because he sees that do you in the united states remaining in gauge in the region as a counterweight to china because north korea doesn't want to be so dependent on one large neighbor resents the chinese pressure so he may be buying a very skillful in the north korea and i think there is good reason to try to president trump and president moon to see how far they can go with this i mean you just said that kim jong un is doing things that we've never seen before but i mean how much as you might say he being pushed diplomatically as strategically into this position by the belligerent u.s. president to himself has been talking tough on the issue of nuclear proliferation a potential military conflict on the peninsula. no we can't get into kim jong un's head but there are two reasons why he's making these moves one of the reasons as you noted this very strong pressure from the united states he's feeling some of

the heat of economic sanctions although how much impact they have on the economy i'm not sure we don't see great changes in the black market exchange rate nor in the price of rice so maybe north korea's economy is still stable the pressure is not working as well. but there's also this military pressure you mentioned president trumps by the comments that has to worry the north koreans and pressure can sometimes work the other thing of course is that kim jong un has said that he's achieved is. in having tested there are more nuclear weapon let us talk and then test them into the missile that can hit united states and once he has these two things he's reached the goal of being able to. deter united states and the can engage in negotiations but would he ever give up those successes the

i.c.b.m. of the nuclear weapons out of people or don't feel that maybe he'll give up portions of them and and that would be success indeed these already days and a lot certainly to keep an eye on in the coming months and years ahead for the patrick thanks so much for joining us from virginia thank you well staying sitting in the u.s. where the german chancellor angela merkel has visited washington d.c. for a brief meeting with the u.s. president top of merkel's agenda as the preservation of the iran nuclear deal which trump wants to abandon hopes to persuade president trying not to impose new u.s. tariffs on european steel and. exports the iranian regime fuels violence bloodshed and chaos all across the middle east. we must ensure that this murderous regime does not even get close to a nuclear weapon and that iran and its proliferation of dangerous missiles and its

support for terrorism no matter where you go in the middle east wherever there's a problem around is right there my you know we're of the opinion that the nuclear deal with iran is a first step which has helped to slow down its activities and allow them to be better monitored but we also think from the german perspective that it's not enough to achieve a reliable outcome so more has to be done the ballistic missile program is a major cause of concern the fact that iran is exerting influence in syria and lebanon is also of great concern for us and we need to cover this influence. well let's cross over to our correspondent diana estabrook who's in our washington d.c. bureau down i mean was merkel able to accomplish really anything cheering her visit the french president wasn't able to. it's really hard to tell at this point you had these two leaders in europe mccrone earlier in the week and then angela merkel today playing sort of tag team to try to convince president trying to stay in the

iran nuclear deal no real commitment from him even though both mccrone and merkel made the point that this deal wasn't perfect but it can be improved upon and the united states needs to stay in the deal and at least keep the framework with hopes of improving it down the road and again on trade the other issue no commitment from president trump that he would extend those exemptions on tariffs on steel and aluminum and wrapping up the visit today angela merkel says it's now up to president trump so i think she's hoping that he might make commitments on both of those but there's no telling if he will in terms of the nuclear deal i mean we saw president try to make the same sort of sounds when he pulled out of the u.n. climate change deal last year i mean is it really inevitable that he really will do the same with the nuclear deal i mean with just weeks to go before sort of he extends u.s.

approval. it's quite possible you know this is something that the president again campaigned on and he does play it was poor he said during his campaign and he has said since he took office more than a little more than a year ago year or eighteen months or eighteen months ago that he you know this is something that he thinks is a bad deal for the u.s. he would not have signed the deal the other thing to keep in mind too is he has a secretary of state now who when he was in congress might pump a zero also said that he did not like the iran nuclear deal that he would have signed it now when he went through the confirmation hearings a couple of days ago he said that he was open to maybe. you know maybe renegotiating but you now have somebody who is very hawkish a secretary of state so it again remains a real wild card for this administration indeed i'm just keeping a close eye on it really for the moment to thanks very much. plenty more ahead here

on the al-jazeera news hour including we'll tell you why romania's prime minister is under pressure to resign. and below the breadline why so many argentinians are struggling to make ends meet but for the most basic items. but it's nice to stop and hits the wall a day after promising to drive with more control. now the israeli army has struck six hamas naval targets in the gaza strip an army statement says it was in response to a so-called mass infiltration attempt early on friday now three palestinians were killed as they marched right up to israel's border fence the closest they've come in five weeks of protest stephanie decker has more from east gaza. it happened all of a sudden a surge towards the border fence running in

a different direction from where the protests have been focused all day 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 thwart it. the soldiers opened fire it went on for quite some time yet. ambulances raced to pick up the wounded. guys suddenly ran in this direction to the fence they threw stones at the soldiers then the israelis opened heavy fire there are many injuries 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 that 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 a speakerphone in arabic to move back from the fence. when they didn't.

their freedom. despite the dangers of getting not put to the front no one is stopping. this friday has been described by many here as the most dramatic yet because the protesters came right up to israel spends israel's intelligence agency and the army have warned the israeli government that gaza could explode if the current restrictions continue they may be right people here say they've lost their fear that life in gaza has become unbearable that they have nothing left to lose stephanie decker on jazeera east gaza well the un's human rights chief called on israel to stop using excessive force on palestinian protesters ingalls and the secretary general spokesman has also criticized the actions of israeli forces. the message given to relevant parties is the need to respect people's rights to

an impact on prices. that's why this week bakers gave away over five thousand kilos of bread because they say customers cannot afford the rising bread prices anymore so i think there are more job out 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 lie that nobody pays for the subsidies of gas and electricity we all pay for it with inflation and debts to pay for energy we have to end our selves a debt that our children and our grandchildren will have to pay the other alternative was to implement shock austerity measures but we are choosing to be

there's complete denuclearization of the peninsula as his responsibility is to resolve the crisis between seoul and pyongyang his comments follow a historic declaration of peace between kim jong. il on friday. german chancellor angela merkel has visited washington d.c. for a brief meeting with president trump top of merkel's agenda was the preservation of the iran nuclear deal which trump wants to abandon. and the israeli army has struck six how us naval targets in the gaza strip it says it was a response to a so-called mass infiltration attempt three palestinians were killed as demonstrators marched right up to israel's border fence along side gaza. paul part asian all to african also all of the cultures and styles represented in the united states one has been noticeably absent from public display well until now

al-jazeera is kristen salumi has more on a first of its kind museum in the state of connecticut. of all the art in the new palestine museum us these paintings by salmiya hala be hold a 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 have gotten behind it for years the palestinians watched as the as the media demonized palestinians 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 asymmetrical nature of the conflict palestinian children throw rocks at israeli soldiers israeli soldiers by 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 pertain to the israeli military and a positive light. the mood at the grand opening was one of celebration and defiance the u.s. based how libby was just one of the artists to attend and we. are supposed.

to move forward and or feels believe that this museum is an example of accomplishment and we will move you know in the visual arts even if we have to create a museum and. 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 let's return to our top story on that historic summit between the two korean leaders for decades china has been north korea's main ally beijing praised the leaders of north and south for political courage but it's also but it is also wary about a unified korea and what that could mean for its influence in the region brown has been monitoring reaction from beijing. well china's leaders will be studying this joint declaration very carefully indeed because of course the text refers to the

prospect of four party talks happening later in the year those talks would involve china the united states as well as the two koreas so in a sense china is now back in the game because it's found itself in an unusual position being on the sidelines of a major international event happening right on its doorstep now in the past few weeks chinese leaders have reiterated again and again that they support the idea of reconciliation they support the idea of a peace treaty and of course of a korean peninsula being free of nuclear weapons but the joint declaration refers to one country and that's where chinese leaders become a bit hesitant because they in a sense feel uneasy about the idea of a unified korea they don't know what that would mean but they fear it could ultimately mean them having less influence over the korean peninsula and that's something they've always enjoyed in the past china also feels it deserves credit

for this summit happening at all it believes that in a sense it is the result of the sanctions it's been applying against the north korean regime remember for the past six months a lot of the oil that north korea has relied on hasn't been flowing across the border also china has been shutting down trading companies here in china that enable trade with north korea and of course china has been sending home north korean workers which means there remittances have not been going to the government so that is why china believes and hopes it will get some credit for what happened on friday well china's president has hosted his indian counterpart calling for greater cooperation between the two countries she jinping held an informal summit with indian prime minister narendra modi at a time of tensions along their shared border india has also raised concerns. about china's belt and road and the shooting that includes a major infrastructure project through pakistan administered kashmir which india says is illegally occupied. this head of politics and international relations at

the university of westminster he says china's relationship with pakistan is influencing india's position since last year india is going to be cautious about china more than that in also recognize that let's see if it has tension with china then china will become even more close to pakistan there already is and therefore there were the strategy on part of indian government which of course very different to the indian government would like that india rather than challenging china almost backed out there and was very careful the use the language of measurement and then recently of course indian government also passed a circular asking if of which was not to meet the dalai lama all these indicated to china that in north keen on having dr this is an informal summit of course what would happen is strong macho leaders eventually meeting both of them very nationalist both of them disliking minorities both of them suspicious of foreign holders of and trying to sort of reduce tensions but really it can be reduced or not we'll have to wait and see if any government or military unlikely to react off

usually because they would not want to alienate china and they would be hoping that this informal summit cremains informal in concrete comes out of it and that the tension between india and china which is. under under the one that was this but pakistan would have an anxiety because pakistan had to defend itself largely from us and with donald trump making it very clear that it still believe that the donor doesn't you know haven't done enough for to fight against extremism and terrorism but depends heavily on china so they would want this to remain more often or sort of shaking of hands agreement here and there but nothing substantial so partisan would remain anxious about it. while staying in china seven school children have been stabbed to death in the north of the country the children aged between twelve and fifteen were typed as they made their way home after school in shanxi province in its in province county several other children were injured a suspect is now in police custody the u.k.

back in the late one nine hundred sixty s. and early one nine hundred seventy s. britain kicked out the people of the che gods 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 home island so really what this proposed change in the law does is to

recognise unique set of circumstances that at the moment is dividing families one of those families or the sergei's two years ago sharon america's national came to the u.k. with her two children to join her husband he has a u.k. passport but they don't they were given just eight days to stay and now they're living in limbo after being threatened with deportation for my uncle matt it's a very traumatic situation i'm always stressed these days i don't even like going outside to take my kids to school because i think the home office might turn up and deport us i can't work and that makes things worse my husband works day and night so we have no family life. the big irony in all of this is there's been a sustained campaign by this community to be allowed to return to live on the silence that you gossoons here in the u.k. has spent years trying and failing to get the right to return to what they call 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 cruelly in southern england well the european union has voted for a permanent ban on pesticides that are harmful to be campaigners call that a tremendous victory for the environment while pesticide company bear calls it a sad day for europe and its farmers fruit and vegetable crops are pollinated by beans and other insects but modern farming techniques have been blamed for a steady decline in numbers as the 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
