7:05 am
is being scheduled we now have a date and we have a location will be announcing it. christopher hill is a former u.s. ambassador to south korea and lead the u.s. delegation at the six party talks on the north korean nuclear issue he says the location is just one of the many questions surrounding the summit. i would not focus too much of a venue i would focus on the fact that this is the first time you have a u.s. president meeting a north korean leader and the question is do they really know what they're going to talk about much less do they know what they're going to agree on normally in a high stakes summit like this you have a pretty clear understanding before the summit begins as to what the outcome is so far if there is such an understanding we're not privy to it the first thing they need to do is understand whether the north koreans are ready to give up their nuclear program there have been some hints that john hunt is prepared to discuss
7:06 am
giving up that in their program but that is not very specific the efforts that we had during the george w. bush administration were to try to work on a step by step basis finally however the talks broke down because north korea would not give the verification regime that capacity kind of international standard so from what i can tell there were near getting to the point of verifying for example that north korea is no longer producing tony i'm producing the solid material and what i can see they haven't gotten close to that so there needs to be an agreement on the steps to baltar example international inspectors these kinds of of issues and so a lot of work to do and it's unclear what they could really accomplish in the context of one meeting with respect to a process that could take several months even if that goes. well north and south

the war in yemen and britain has sold more than six billion dollars worth of arms to saudi arabia since its campaign began in two thousand and fifteen the us president has once again rejected calls for tougher gun laws speaking at the national rifle association's annual conference in dallas donald trump defended his policies but even lashed out at europe's strict gun laws. reports it was a study in contradiction as donald trump or claimed on stage that the us would be a safer place with more guns the secret service banned the audience from carrying firearms to ensure the president's safety your second amendment rights are under siege but they will never ever. be under see as long as i'm your president the national gun debate has been at a fervor pitch says a gunman killed seventeen people at a high school in parklane florida in february student survivors of that shooting at
7:24 am
a protest of hundreds of thousands in washington d.c. in march to demand a change to gun laws to stop the violence and for a time it appeared the president was listening what i'd really love to hear is the child that spoke the day after the portland shooting in their capital and he said he was bored expanded background checks and raising the age of purchase and just saying hey guys there is something we can do we have to do it i'm going to show leadership we can't be afraid to be entering we're going to do it. but trump quickly backpedaled after meeting with n.r.a. leaders his only action since has been to moderately shore up background checks and push to arm teachers the n.r.a. contributed close to thirty million dollars to trump's campaign its members are among the president's strongest supporters you asked me how he was doing in order to the second a member of the doing very well recent polls show a growing number of americans close to seventy percent support more gun control
7:25 am
even as the n.r.a. is fund raising reached record highs following the party for the fourth shooting some parents of children killed in that shooting are here to protest the gun lobby and they say the president's attendance and its failure to deliver on promises only deepen the. castro al-jazeera was or police in mexico city say poor working conditions mean they're struggling to fight crime as violence surges in the capital officers have told al-jazeera they often have to buy their own supplies including bullets john home and reports. corrupt inefficient and in some cases even in league with organized crime not surprisingly many mexican simply don't trust their police offices but there is another side to the story a survey of almost funny files of policemen and women found that many especially at
7:26 am
municipal level a badly paid and lack the basic equipment to do the job this office into quanah one of the most violent towns in the country told us they aren't supplied with enough bullets regularly have to buy their own them. it's not just alms elsewhere francisco escovedo had to retire of the damaging his spine push starting his police truck every morning he says he spent a year asking superiors for a new battery to me and they we told me the same he says put up with it or buy one yourself n.-g. o. counseling commune who surveyed offices across the country found some police paying for uniforms car repairs and petrol all out of their own low salaries so if you could have police that badly trained and not paid the right amount what are the implications for society in general in mexico well if you get paid like two hundred bucks a month and irish prime counting to one thousand and one of course has to take for
7:27 am
many those few other ways to get ahead more than two thirds of police surveyed had never been promoted. officer is my old ramos told us that in many cases the only way to get a step up is to pay superior officers it's called the quota but here we have intermediate positions superior positions and all costs pending on the position they want and it's this legal of course is the legal but that's a system in mexico city the mix great city police force toto dizzier they didn't know that any such cases although the quota isn't present in every force other municipal policeman told us they have to pay not for promotion but to get a car will decide where they patrol they said the systematic corruption at least to some offices extorting the population to pay their own superiors which in turn leads to the mix compiled like this trusting the police it's a vicious cycle and it's happening just at the wrong time mates can murder levels
7:28 am
of the highest in two decades and the country needs a strong respected force to deal with that and those for the police who are trying to stay honest is my ramos has twenty years experience to decorations for bravery in the monsters in public security but he's been assigned the job he says of a new recruit guarding a metro station john homan how does it make scary city bhansali are a part of many answer trees and a living art form developed in japan it takes years of discipline to condense nature into a small part well meet takeo next a bonsai craftsman in sight thomas he says he listens to the voices of the trees as he works. by name is. a bonsai craftsman. i was a mechanic at toyota before this i had nothing to do with it until one day i
7:29 am
visited a grower and as soon as i said put into his place i knew instantly that i was going to quit my job and start working with bhansali. bonsai is grown in a pot but cultivating it also involves creating trees that inspire sceneries of the natural world. and. i find beauty in trees when they're healthy and full of life instead of in their shape. i used to be very ambitious and how i transform the trees some of which were the most admired and respected in japan but when i turned thirty seven i realized how much i had damaged them and then suddenly i heard their screams saying we're alive just like you i felt strangled this experience changed me completely. i try to understand what the best conditions are for each tree and deciding on the
7:30 am
spot what i need to do now what i shouldn't do and what can't wait. the trees taught me not to force my own a statics upon them that's why i study hard to understand how the trees the sun and the wind can best work together. i give them only moderate amounts of water and fertilizer it encourages the trees to grow the roots out. it's important to give them the strength to survive and thrive on their own. some are more than a thousand years old the junipers are around four to five hundred years old it's astonishing but i'm equally moved by the life force of plants growing from the seeds or cuttings. the trees grow into certain shapes to thrive and i respect that what i try to do is bring out their beauty so that more people can appreciate and take good care of them i think that's the job of
7:31 am
a craftsman even if they're highly valued i wouldn't say that they're true bonsai unless your heart feels at peace looking at them. you give the trees pass them on because they will leave you but hundreds of thousands of years. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera immigrant rights groups are protesting against a new law which could see fifty seven thousand hondurans expelled from the u.s. administration says it's. after hurricane mitch in one thousand nine hundred nine. i have been here in this country for twenty seven years i came in one thousand nine hundred two and now i can't remember anything about my home country i've contributed to this country since i got my t.p.s.
