moon and welcome the move saying it shows is sincere about the unclear is ation on the peninsula kathy novak has more from seoul. south korea's presidential blue house has given a briefing on the historic meeting between me and the north korean leader kim jong un on friday we're told that kim jong un told mungy ensuring that meeting that north korea intends to shut down in nuclear test facility and invite u.s. and south korean experts and journalists to inspect it last weekend ahead of the summit north korea announced that it would stop nuclear and missile tests and shut down and nuclear test facility in the declaration that was signed between lindsay and kim jong il and there was a broad reference to completely denuclearization of the korean peninsula but no specific reference to steps that north korea would take in order to dismantle its nuclear program now this appears to be a new concession from north korea

a head of the meeting that is expected between the u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un in addition north korea says it will also be changing its time zone back in twenty fifteen it changed its time by half an hour because it said that its original time was imposed by japanese imperialists during the time of japanese occupation well now it says it will put it back to match seoul time and no longer be a half hour different underlying causes a professor of korean studies at cookman university says north korea's announcement to shut its nuclear test site is not as significant as it seems. blasko tear over it is set they were going to close the test site but this time they will invite some foreign journalists to shows them around and just to come through on that valve this side is now being dismantled which is well not a good news it's

a sign of openness it's it definitely a very good diplomatic maneuver to have a better grounds for the future talks between north korea as the united states so it's a good move bought doesn't make as much difference as many people sort of courting for because of the test side has been jell-o. tickler unstable and it was vitally expected that it would be close to anyway they have survived doing a very good job at brings the international community for many many decades they're brilliant diplomats both of borders me that many people expect the impossible that is that north korea will just surrender nuclear weapons and become just a normal state a sort of minor version of china it's not going to happen because of many reasons above all if they remember what happened to qaddafi government in libya to government in iraq that they believe that bizarre happens their complete destruction and death or imprisonment all of what for all elite is just ration of

time so they keep some nuclear weapons but it will be better if they have just a few enough to ensure their security but not much more not enough to threaten the outside world so it's indeed seems to be possible now and let's hope. nearly a pointed u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has arrived in saudi arabia as part of a three day trip to the region he's held talks with the saudi foreign minister there before having dinner with crown prince mohammed bin solomon they're expected to discuss the iran nuclear deal on donald trump's threats to pull the united states out of that agreement next month was sworn in on thursday after his predecessor rex tillerson left office last month for some salumi has more from washington d.c. . the state department says a strong u.s. saudi partnership is crucial to peace and prosperity in the middle east so perhaps not surprising that might pompei i would make

a visit to saudi arabia part of his first official trip as secretary of state he also has the fast approaching deadline of may twelfth when president trump must decide whether or not to reimpose sanctions on iran a move that many feel will be the end of the iran nuclear deal mike pompei o is much closer to president on this issue than his predecessor rex tillerson was tillerson was sympathetic to the european point of view which is the deal should be strengthened and not abandoned he lost his job essentially over that mike pompei o will also no doubt be talking about the situation in syria during this visit president chavez has called on gulf countries to do more to stabilize the situation there in terms of troops and funding from saudi arabia pompei o heads to israel and then to jordan. his visit to saudi arabia comes as iran backed with the rebels in yemen fired a new round of missiles into the kingdom this follows

that the russian perspective that this has set back the political process in syria is not necessarily true. but the turks do have criticisms of the united states saying that they should give up their ongoing support for the kurds when we do get to the next round of a stand of sorts in a couple weeks we're likely to see. a similar situation to previous times which is that the opposition who are reluctant to come now the route the opposition has always felt the. talks were essentially a sideshow a distraction from what should be taking place which is the resumption of negotiations in geneva the official u.n. sponsored talks and the opposition has long felt that water star is essentially doing is just hollowing out geneva stripping it of all the main political platforms political points and essentially giving cover for russia and the

china's government in effect banned the import of recyclable waste how to loudoun bundles that were up to ten percent contaminated meaning up to a tenth of a bale of one type of recyclable plastic could in fact be known recyclable material australian centers like this one had to do only a rough sift of the initial material the fact that it's made up of different plastics thought in itself is contaminated so you can say there's a bottle of water there that's my dad and i pay eighty material on the cap of my that have a different material. which is made out of a different material again a cap on the next would be regarded as contaminated. china now says only north point five percent of each imported bond complete so-called contamination there isn't a plant in australia that can produce a bundle that can pass that test even the operators of this new one in townsville call promise less than eight percent contamination the business model is broken the supply is a constant the demands being walked out bought about how much and yet there is

a real challenge to find a market for those free software tools in both the short term and the longer term. some of the oversupply is being taken by australian processes and the hoff what they were the plastics and now taking away the bundles of pipe two or three but i can't take it away no one is admitting to stockpiling big mountains of plastic in paper or a fire risk creating them breaks laws but the excess has to go somewhere about ten percent of everything that comes into this facility is wiped but called be recycled i found out put in by a white guy and that will cause a landfill the concern now is that a lot more all may end up in landfill those vials all ninety percent plastic that words have gone to china. those in the industry say long this could be an opportunity for more sophisticated processing of us law to bills within australia but in the short time they say they need in effect
