a threat now regional countries are meeting to figure out a long term strategy on how to deal with the price the israeli soldier who caught on camera killing a wounded palestinian man has been released from prison early after serving only nine months i mean to schapelle and i'll bring you the all my reaction. you are with the news great live on air and streaming online for you tube facebook live and that's al-jazeera dot com it is decision time in just about three hours from now president donald trump will be announcing whether the u.s. will abandon the nuclear deal with iran and re impose sanctions in the last few hours and weeks in fact world leaders have scrambled to convince the american president to stick with the agreement and some u.s. democratic senators have also written to try him in a last ditch attempt to stop him from walking away the twenty fifty nuclear deal also known as a joint comprehensive plan of action was agreed by chomsky predecessor barack obama

. with the support of china russia germany france and britain it eases sanctions on iran in exchange for commitments to abandon its nuclear weapons program trump has long expressed dissatisfaction with the agreement calling it a disaster and the worst deal ever he twice refused to certify to congress that iran is complying with it now here are some of the scenarios that could play out by signing the waiver trump would effectively give iran another one hundred twenty days of sanctions relief some analysts believe that by not renege on this deal trump would be better placed to convince north korea to denuclearize at his upcoming summit with kim jong un he could also refuse to sign the waiver but not rush to reimpose the sanctions iva or he could take a hardline approach and not only refused to sign the waiver but we imposed sanctions with an accelerated timetable let's bring in our white house correspondent kimberly hocket in washington d.c. kimberly so many possible scenarios here are you hearing first of all any whispers

from the white house there about what the president might announce. well certainly they are keeping a tight lid on what the president set to announce the president often sort of likes to keep the drama for himself and certainly that is the anticipation wondering and collectively there is a holding of breath that is occurring not just in the united states but around the world in terms of what the president might do with regard to this will he abandon the deal will he reimpose sanctions could he do a little of both that is certainly the question but it is clear that the president has made his decision we are told that he did speak to the french president emanuel back crawl to discuss his decision we are waiting a readout on that which may or may not happen before the president makes his announcement but in the meantime the president in advance of that announcement also taking a stab at the man who was very instrumental in helping to negotiate that twenty fifteen deal that is the former secretary of state john kerry he reportedly met

with the iranian foreign minister at the united nations in recent weeks that prompted the president to tweet not just today but also on monday saying that those actions could potentially be illegal a violation of the logan act today on tuesday the president tweeting that john kerry just can't get over the fact that he had his chance and blew it stay away from negotiations john you are hurting our country certainly the concern of the president is that private citizens should not be engaged in diplomacy that is stipulated under the local act of seven hundred ninety nine if you can believe it that this is something the private citizen should not do so certainly the president not missing this opportunity as the world awaits his decision to also take a stab at the individual who was very interesting instrumental in negotiating on behalf of the united states back in two thousand and fifteen kimberly how kids at the white house thank you very much company for the moment despite the new threat

of renewed u.s. sanctions iran is defiant the iranian president hassan rouhani says tehran will stand on its own feet regardless of whether it faces new sanctions. has rules out this government's plan from day one has been based on having honest good constructive and effective interactions with the world as we consider this a win win situation useful for others and for us as well well it may result that in some exceptional situations from time to time someone may take power in a country and cause an exceptional situation these kinds of things happen on the world stage and we will get past it we may have problems for two or three months but anyway we will get past the problem our basic policy of having constructive interactions is working with the world rouhani was speaking there at an oil and gas exhibition in a wants capital tehran that's significant because it's iran. deposits that have helped it survive decades of economic isolation. went to the exhibition and has

this report. from this fairground it's difficult to tell that iran is going through a diplomatic crisis power to iran's leaders are highlighting the merits of the country's century old oil industry and they're looking for foreign investment to the tune of two hundred billion dollars. already i have a recommendation for foreign companies that are here if these companies want to have an important role in the market of iran in the region they should try to cooperate with iranian companies and do their job as they have chosen iran as a partner iran is not a country one could overlook in the global market and energy sector they may delay or development but relying on enormous domestic potential caught willing he will continue our plans. but in the face of u.s. sanctions it's a hard sell for the fate of the joint comprehensive plan of action more commonly known as the twenty fifteen nuclear deal has become the most important factor for

doing business with iran but the issue is so provocative no one was willing to speak about it on camera there are many european countries represented here but the birds are so. smaller than they were in previous years especially right after the nuclear deal was signed many of the exhibitors we spoke to say they like doing business with iranians and see enormous potential in iran's market but for now no big deals are being signed and no one is making any real money it would seem that scare tactics by washington are having the desired effect. iranian companies here are worried about bad economic weather. but say this is just the storm before the calm beneath the. international companies to come to iraq but in the absence of them stated we can not solve the trade or existing facilities but developed or it just fits. companies like this one operated by the

iranian revolutionary guard corps will no doubt continue to play an important part in the country's economic strategies had a ruse missile on the go you about horny than you are every day americans make a new excuse they want to conclude every use you in a way to benefit themselves so should we give up with will know we are a powerful country with great resources in the world for example in all in gas we ranked first and this is also true about other resources iran's growth potential makes it a difficult market for investors to ignore so there is some optimism. one businessman told us there is always a light at the end of the tunnel but the burning of bridges between washington and to harare is only making that tunnel longer. zero to one or more now on the twenty fifteen iran nuclear agreement a dense web of written agreements and deadlines make up this nuclear deal which took years to agree upon it was finally signed off by iran on july fourteenth

twenty fifteen with the five permanent members of the un security council as well as germany and the e.u. a week later it was endorsed by a u.n. security council resolution under the terms iran agreed to reduce the number of its centrifuge machines from twenty thousand to about five thousand for ten years centrifuges are needed to enrich uranium and make nuclear bombs iran also promised to enrich in maximum three point six percent of its uranium for fifteen years additional limits were put on its research and development of advanced centrifuges iran also removed the core of its main heavy water reactor and filled it with cement it's not allowed to build any new reactors for fifteen years to be sure iran is complying inspectors from the international atomic energy agency have access to its nuclear sites in exchange for all of this the us and un agreed to lift sanctions but they can be reimposed again if you ron is found to be violating the deal now i'm very pleased to welcome thomas countryman to the news great he's in

washington d.c. and he's a former u.s. assistant secretary of state for international security and nonproliferation and he worked on the run under president obama very good to have you with us on al-jazeera thank you for your time this is a agreement that you were involved in negotiating now if president trump announces a withdrawal of the u.s. on the jay c.p.o. way as many people expect he will what would that mean can the deal survive without the united states. well we don't yet know what president trump will announce today he may announce a for us withdrawal i think it's more likely that he will refuse to waive the sanctions as required by the way but will somehow claim that the u.s. has not yet withdrawing from the deal make no mistake about it if he refuses to waive sanctions the united states not iran will be the first of the seven parties who is violating the agreement that would be

a serious case of foreign policy malpractise and it would have several of facts that would play out very slowly causing an unnecessary fight with the united states best allies in europe depriving the atomic energy agency from its inspection capability encouraging or even provoking iran to resume enrichment bringing us back to where we were four years ago and making more complicated the negotiations with north korea if mr trump chooses to create a second nuclear crisis where right now we have only one that is the white house choice and it will be negative for the stability of the middle east and for the goal of restraining nuclear weapons growth it took twelve years mr countryman to negotiate this current deal it was a very tricky complicated process very technical is there

a better deal to have you know if this one false or is there a plan b. i have seen nothing from the white house that indicates that they have a coherent strategy to reengage with iran in order to create a better deal so far the europeans have suggested very intelligently in my opinion that the way to address the other issues whether it's the sunset clauses or ballistic missiles or regional support for terrorism the way to address those is to keep the nuclear deal and to build upon it if the us is the first to violate the deal to walk out from the deal the united states will not have credibility to negotiate a better deal and so far the white house has given no indication of how it would go about negotiating a better deal right it is true that this deal itself covers only iran's nuclear

activities and by all accounts tehran seems to be in compliance with this deal it would seem that president trump has taken exception with iran's other activities its activities in the region is what's happening here because a lot of people are very curious about what's motivating present to want to pull out of this deal. well not only president trump but most americans most europeans most people in the middle east are concerned about iran's negative behavior building ballistic missiles of ever greater range and of interfering in the internal politics of all of its neighbors from yemen to iraq to syria to lebanon those are legitimate concerns and they must be addressed but if president trump is the first one to pull out of a nuclear deal he will lose the credibility that the united states needs in order to work with other states in the middle east and in europe to address those very

real problems that iran is causing thank you so much for your time thank you for joining us thomas countryman former u.s. secretary of state for international security and nonproliferation joining us on the news great from washington we appreciate your time. our let's bring in our social media producer and pal and we can't assume what president trump is going to decide but this certainly a broad lobbying effort right now by european heads of state as we heard from kimberly obama administration officials and a lot of this is playing out on line and sure is let's look at some of those competing voices here and starting off with the national security advisor john bolton he's been critical of this deal for years and further than that he's called for regime change in iran for more than a decade this is what the former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. said last summer. i had said for over ten years since coming to these events that the declared policy of the united states of america should be the overthrow of

the mullahs regime in tehran thank the behavior in the objectives of the regime are not going to change and therefore the only solution is to change the regime and so. and that's. and that's why those who are twenty nine today and we hear those celebrate in tehran thank you very much and. so he was speaking there to a group of iranian dissidents in paris last july that conference was organized by the france based political wing of mujahedeen or any k. now they are known as the national council of resistance of iran the bolton lobbied for the group for years and its supporters view it as a sort of government in exile now that's despite the fact it was on the u.s. terror list until two thousand and twelve for its involvement in the killing of u.s. citizens in iran in the one nine hundred seventy s. and an attack on u.s. soil in one thousand nine hundred two counteracting what we expect to be bolton's

opposition to the deal are a group of twenty six israeli commanders who believe that the deal is working and that a u.s. decision to pull out would undermine israel's security of the israeli security establishment appears to be split on this matter. it is very evident on social media last week prime minister netanyahu released this video on his twitter feed revealing that trove of of iranian documents which he says proves it was working on a clandestine nuclear program before that that j.c. rather was signed he says that iran was quotes lying through its teeth however former secretary of state john kerry says that every detail that netanyahu presented was every reason the world came together to apply years of sanctions and negotiate that agreement he says that's why israeli security experts are speaking out later tweet later tweeting there was no negotiation and all of that changed with the j.c. p. away blow up the deal and you're back there tomorrow now regardless of the decision

a partial u.s. withdrawal more u.s. sanctions whatever he decides iran's foreign minister believes that the u.s. has already violated its commitments to the j.c.t. away and will have to accept the consequences for doing so let me make it absolutely clear once and for all we will need to outsource our security nor will we. gong to a deal we have already implemented in good faith to put it in the state. when you buy a house and move your family in or demolish it to build a skyscraper you cannot come back two years later and try to renegotiate the price relying on call tunisia allegations rehash from more than a decade ago and then with. it to make a case for nixing to the hospital no one. so let us know what you think about

president trump's imminent decision and what it will mean for the middle east tweet us your views using the hash tag it in is gregory committed to me directly on twitter i'm. and angela have been getting quite a lot of comments on this story already here on the news great comments on both sides of the argument on whether or not present trump should stay in this deal one here from ramallah on facebook says iran should stand strong on its commitment and world powers shouldn't allow bullying by the u.s. but kenny on twitter says trump has kept his promises nothing will change this one and one last comment from elvis on twitter who says he will do anything to raise barack obama's legacy thank you very much for your comments we'll look forward to hearing your thoughts on this and other stories we're covering on the news group of course connect with us using the hashtag aging is great and all the other ways to get in touch on your screen right now now on to other world news and it's the culmination of an extraordinary few weeks in armenia the parliament there has elected a new prime minister and his none other than the man who started the massive anti-government

rallies that led to the resignation of former prime minister says that a kiss on opposition leader nicole pashley and won the vote in parliament by fifty nine to forty two he's promised a whole snap elections a soon as he is confident conditions are right for a legitimate vote to take place an address parliament on tuesday as thousands of his supporters gathered in armenia's capital yerevan. where we say this is the hour of national unity and consolidation this is the first thing it implies which will respect respect to each other's rights and expression and i'm certain that in the republic of armenia we have such an atmosphere established that this will not remain a malta which will become reality. well here's some of what we know about armenia's new prime minister nicole pashley and began his career as a journalist going on to become editor of the country's best selling daily liberal newspaper the armenian times he was highly critical of many high profile

politicians and business figures in two thousand and four bashing on his car exploded as it was parked outside his office he called it an assassination attempt but he said it was a fault with a cost battery then in two thousand and eight he went into hiding after being involved in deadly protests in the wake of presidential elections and turned himself in the following year and was sent to prison but was released early in two thousand and eleven through an amnesty granted to political prisoners a year later he was elected to the national assembly of armenia and became leader of the opposition party civil contract where he tens of thousands of armenians in protests last month that led to the resignation of former prime minister says. when i speak to our correspondent in. walker robin a momentous day today in armenia talk to us first about the atmosphere in the country today and the message of the new prime minister to the people. you know

it's not often you get to cover to report on a story that one has a happy ending i will say that with caution of course because this is really just the end of the beginning and this was the easiest part for the armenian people to brings out a government and one of the events accomplishment that was for them and how they feel about that and. you. get a sense of it now every car driving through the city now blaring its horns everyone in celebration but the hard work really begins when these new governments on the passion and has to start thinking about how it. looks at policy and. you know going forward so that's going to be really tough for them but certainly just like it's all i mean yesterday it was the passion telling his supporters victory was that they were the ones who could celebrate by having got scenes where he was known for him having been. crowned prime minister. rabin made

a lot of promises to the people during the demonstrations you know he promised to get rid of corruption in the country he promised to get rid of the ana got a sense just how difficult will it be for him to bring about the changes he promised during the demonstrations. we'll consider this some of those m.p.'s in the parliament because at the very same oligarchs critical question yet he said he wants to bridge the system all. well clearly he's going to have to be grateful for that and throwing their support behind him and therefore he's going to have to compromise on those kind of places like he did with. the political and economic system where the government had controls what came in and out of armenia and a lot of people got rich on that you just got to think about foreign policy a big issue now is how to keep russia on board because i mean it needs russia for its ongoing conflict. over the course of the karabakh territory with azerbaijan and

just balancing interests we have heard today that b.b.c. was quick to congratulate the past year we've also heard from the europeans so we will be really really stepping in to say well done so it's a. lot of work though to go ahead for him and he's going to bring some interim government to change the electoral system and have free and fair elections and it's going to be hard work for the city thank you very much for that robyn for ceroc are our correspondent in on in his capital kiev and these protests in armenian have become known as the velvet revolution if you get a chance read this very insightful opinion piece on al-jazeera dot com on how it all unfolded and what the protests may achieve it's by the armenian poet otto von and he says while it will take time for things to change there's already been a major shift in the consciousness of the armenian people read his piece on al-jazeera dot com now to nigeria where army commanders have confirmed the rescue

of more than a thousand books hostages they were released from several villages in borno state and mainly women and children as well as some young men were forced to become fighters for the armed group at a war with booker has killed tens of thousands of people over the past nine years it's also for the devastated communities in the lake chad region where for security and monitoring mission were already at emergency levels finding a solution to that humanitarian crisis is a main focus of a two day forum that's underway in nigeria's northeastern borno state from where reports. the bugger fish market used to be one of the busiest ports in the lake chad region eighty trucks on average brought in the daily catch a fish from the lake not anymore only a few cuts of dried fish arrive the market now. well someone who comes here every day to earn enough to buy a meal for his family one successful fisherman largely depends on the goodwill of

others after book why don't fight it's over and his village four years ago he's heard about plans by government and international partners processed people like him but he's not sure if he or his family will get any help this year. i'm getting older and the young ones can go to fish because of fear of attacks but look around with no work and no income many of them have now joined the fight is something governments in the region want to stop this is the recent spike in violence requires to look beyond providing aid something they want to address in a regional meeting in nigeria we need it holistic approach that looks at the shirt it's but also try to start supporting those medium along that away we call real development in these that are so critical to find the solution to this crisis the lectured region is one of the poorest in the world despite its vast agricultural

and water resources attacks by boko haram have made the situation worse thousands stand employed in a region already struggling with poverty and lack of jobs this company produces solar panels and equipment it's one of eleven factories being set up by government in borno state where bookworms tight the government invested millions of dollars in the hope of creating jobs for an improved youth group that is repeatedly targeted by for a quick. it's investments like these borders want to promote across the region they also want governments in the region to pay greater attention to education children in the classrooms are prime targets for kidnappers gunman and suicide bombers. all the three thousand classrooms have been fixed but out of the five thousand which i have seed the rebuilding of forty's there and. we will follow immediately where and when the military took over from the inside

a years especially when people. go back to their various communities our primary attention go to disk all one thousand four hundred schools in borno state were targeted and destroyed by the fighters hundreds have since been repaired but jobless fishermen and women as well as other small businesses hope for a lasting peace that will guarantee a return home to reorganize their lives amity al-jazeera my degree in northeast nigeria. and joining us now from my degree in northeast nigeria is ana mostafa he's a security consultant and is involved in the organization of the conference there thank you very much for your time i want to talk to you first about the strategy against boko haram if we can we've heard about the release of these one thousand people by the nigerian army and frequently now we're hearing about the nigerian army rescuing people from the hands of how is this possible what's leading what's helping you know the nigerian government in achieving this

well what happened actually that the military are gone what they're supposed to do and taking over and what are honestly when we continue to this believe that the say this is over well the pocket the matter is that the obvious of getting to that is minimal and that we are now trying to take up from that and that is why the government has claimed it was too. only be at rest when do you now take a sort of a multi pass it up roach that is from the bottom of the well you look. in the process of making it's sort of a peace process right. of the locals for them to find i'm

a couple way to the complex now the government and i don't you are talking of cross border issues right because there are a number of countries in that region who are affected of course the government claims to have technically defeated bokhara but we're still seeing attacks by by the group there still kidnappings even though people are being released so it's not completely over tell us about the long term solution because despite book iran being defeated militarily this region is still deep in poverty there's a humanitarian crisis right now it's not just a military solution here what else needs to happen well that is why the governor there with them pounded worried that the region has to come together and then address the issue holistically and that can be addressed to deposit upwards such as possible addition this process cross what i do is increase what our crime because what our trade. they've been aware for the.

then i would wait to complete and back to. them which is one of the one of the focal point that. trying to address ok zeina mostafa thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us some stuff it is a security analyst joining us there from my degree northeast nigeria and i want to point you not to this extent witness documentary about the fight against meets queen hunter. she's among the thousands of hunters enlisted by the nigerian army to track and capture a book around fighters in the north it's very unusual story but an inspiring one i watch it if you can on al-jazeera dot com and another story about nigeria coming up very shortly here on the news but if you're watching us on facebook a story about a performing arts center for underprivileged children in nigeria and still ahead on

the news great competing interests in south africa as a whole sit consonance biggest travel trade show we go to the top of my two back to back as it grapples with protected wide life tourism versus the economic benefits of my two states. and it's been raining in turkey pretty heavily that rain as part of a system extends through syria and iraq an iraq is really quite major so it's not finished yet significant rain is likely to fall once again on the border of iraq was iran up through just maybe azerbaijan up through armenia northern syria and southeastern turkey anything up to seventy five maybe a hundred kilometers the chance of flooding well they're quite high once it's gone through it does of course dry out but the onshore breeze suggests other wet all share the weather at least into israel and lebanon system is still circulating and

it lasted two days it might drop in beirut twenty five degrees it's still raining and you see through northern syria and down the border with eastern iraq and iran so it's persistent terrain hence the likely totals south of that it might spark an occasional thunderstorm in kuwait northeastern sidey or bahrain possibly even qatar though most likely just feeling crease in the humidity then the wind of swing right after it's gone through this is with the story start to briefly on the eastern side of saudi arabia southern africa carried out again see some significant rain for the western cape not much on there and i have to say not much in the forecast either. jail should never be a country club and anyone who spent time in our facilities will tell you we are the furthest thing from

a country club and we know our approach is working incarcerated and at the mercy of a sheriff controversial approach to punishment of reform sheriff hold a credible amount of power and are allowed to run the jails in the way they see it and we see a lot of abuses american sheriff on al-jazeera. a shock to me to go to. the most memorable moments with al jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell at the crowds in tahrir square talking. if something happens anywhere in the world al jazeera is in place we're able to cover muse like no other news organizations. were able to do it properly. and that is all straight.

i am i am cool n. i am just zero zero zero and the top trending stories on our website al-jazeera dot com and at number one then israeli soldier who was filmed killing a palestinian man has been released from prison early and we've got more

on that story and i am it's about igor who has served two thirds of a fourteen month sentence after he shot abdel haifa. as he lay wounded on the ground the whole incident was filmed. the palestinian man already had been shot by israeli soldiers who say he attacked them with a knife and back with us for more on this story and if you get the reaction to this early release on line well this is been a very controversial story since the beginning and now that he's out we're seeing two very opposing narratives online there are people sharing images like these you see there showing as area joyful after his release he was welcomed home with signs calling him a hero and his supporters say that he was doing his duty by killing a palestinian man that they consider to be a terrorist and several israeli ministers have reinforced this narrative for example minister of education of tele bennett tweeted ill or how good it is for you to come home while the culture minister mary rego have posted on facebook that she

wishes he laura and his family a return to normal life there is now one more task left she says to erase his criminal record now on the other side of this narrative there are plenty of people israelis palestinians people worldwide who are angry that he's been released many activists have compared this soldier's nine months in prison to the sentences of jailed palestinians like. a thirteen year old boy who stabbed and wounded two israelis in occupied east jerusalem in twenty fifteen he's been sentenced to nine and a half years in prison sixteen year old palestinian activist ahead to mimi is spending eight months in jail for slapping a soldier she assaulted the officer after israeli troops shot and severely wounded her fifteen year old cousin with a rubber coated steel bullets. and activists are bringing up the ongoing case of dream touch sure she's an israeli palestinian poet charged with incitement and

supporting a terrorist organization for poems she posted on social media in two thousand and fifteen that's who has already spent two years under house arrest and will be formally sentence at the end of this month so for many palestinians releasing a man who murdered an incapacitated palestinian two days early for a wedding shows how justice works in the israeli occupation and let us know what you think about the story using the hash tag it in its grid thank you very much under for that in our discussion program inside story did a show on this story when the verdict against yours area was announced looking at why these really soldier was still praised as a hero despite having been found guilty of killing a wounded palestinian man it's an interesting discussion watch it by clicking on the shows tab on al-jazeera dot com and then click on inside story right where now i'm all t.v. while here on the news great taking a look at the different pictures the news agencies are feeding us the. false christs f.p. has images from the house of lords in britain and the discussion there and sent

about bricks and negotiations and london is where we're going to head next year on the news great and check in with john hall for a look at the day's other news john foley thank you north korean leader kim jong loon has pledged his continued commitment to denuclearize ation ahead of an expected summit with u.s. president donald trump kid made the comments during a meeting with his chinese counterpart jinping in the northern chinese port city of delhi on it's their second meeting in recent weeks following kim's visit to beijing in march it comes as trump prepares for a historic summit with came in late may or early june china correspondent adrian brown has more now from beijing. well as is often the case on these occasions it was left to state television to confirm what many had suspected that kim jong un had indeed made his second secretive visit to china this time though he wasn't in the capital beijing but in the northeastern city of darrien not far from the north

korean border kim was accompanied by his sister who continues to play a high profile in north korean diplomacy now it's reported in chinese state media that kim jong un said that as long as some countries desist from a hostile attitude or making threats to north korea then there was no reason why denuclearization on the korean peninsula shouldn't proceed now of course when he refers to some countries he's talking about the united states now kim jong un is due to meet president donald trump in the next few weeks and of course just a few weeks ago china's foreign minister one year was also in the north korean capital pyongyang i think from this meeting it's clear once more that in the she kim relationship kim is very much the junior partner in the various pictures that were released of their meetings it had the feel of a sort of big brother little brother encounter and of course the chinese side are

thought very carefully about the backdrop to these talks the two were shown walking along the beach in the background was the yellow sea there were seagulls it was all very picturesque and i think it was supposed to illustrate that north korea and china are moving together coming closer again after a deep strain in their relations and i think it was almost if kim was saying no matter what happens in your talks with president donald trump china will always be your friend. south korea's president and chinese premier li keqiang will hold a trilateral talks with japan's president in tokyo on wednesday they'll discuss economic cooperation among the three regional powerhouses as well as the apparent detente on the korean peninsula when haye has more now from tokyo. we may not see any major announcements from the summit but the mere fact that it's taking place is significant given that it is the first time that the south korean president mungy

in and the chinese premier league pitching have visited japan in an official capacity the japanese prime minister shinzo are they will hold bilateral discussions with his counterparts while they are here in tokyo but most interest will center around the trilateral summit where it's thought that the situation in north korea will be at the top of the agenda following that into korean summit that was held on the twenty seventh of april it's expected that after this summit the three nations will issue a joint statement supporting the declaration that was announced at the end of that into korean some of that they would work towards the denuclearization of the korean peninsula but that doesn't mean that the three nations here are all on the same page it's thought for example that china may well favor offering financial economic incentives to pyongyang as it moves along the path towards denuclearization whereas the japanese prime minister favors continuing a tough stance against pyongyang until it sees concrete progress made in its
