south korea says kim jong un has promised to shut down the north's nuclear bomb test site next month the pledge was made during kim summit with president on friday but there's no word about the future of north korea's ballistic missile program or whether kim will bow to demands by u.s. president donald trump to get rid of nuclear weapons the test side that kim says he'll shut down is north of pyongyang south korea says the north is happy to complete the process in full view of the world without outside journalists and experts attending kathy novak has more from seoul. south korea's presidential blue house has been in a briefing on the historic meeting between monday and the north korean leader kim jong un on friday we're told that kim jong un told monday and during that meeting that north korea intends to shut down a 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 monday and kim jong un there was a broad reference to complete the nuclearization of the korean peninsula but no specific reference to steps that north korea would take in order to dismantle its nuclear program now this is piers to be a new concession from north korea ahead of the meeting that is expected between the u.s. president donald trump and kim jong un in addition to 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 andrzej line cough is a professor of korean studies at coupland university who says north korea's

brilliant diplomats go to border's me is that many people expect the impossible that is they're not scary it'll 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 they believe their visa bans their complete destruction and death or imprisonment all good novels of war for all elite is just a question 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 the newly appointed u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o is in saudi arabia as part of a three day trip to the region he's held talks with the saudi foreign minister either late to bed before having dinner with crown prince mohammed and some man the
