president donald trump met them at an air force base near washington d.c. is complete reports. back in the united states it's been more than a year since kim haq song and tony kim have seen their families for kim don shula it's been even longer he was imprisoned in north korea two years ago forced to do hard labor after being convicted of espionage speaking through a translator kim described his treatment in north korea forced to work but also treated well when sick there were a lot of we were treated in many different ways for me i had to do a lot of labor but when i got sick i was also treated by them the release of the three americans is being viewed by the white house as a goodwill gesture by north korea's leader want to thank him. really. was. excellent to these three incredible people they are really three incredible

people the release of the three americans is the product of negotiations ongoing with the united states and north korea but it is also a prelude to the upcoming summit between donald trump and north korean leader kim jong a summit that trump says he hopes will yield even greater results. trump says his primary goal is to achieve complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula and is looking forward to his upcoming summit with kim with optimism i really think he wants to do something and bring that country into the real world u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe has made two trips to north korea it's during his most recent visit the kim reportedly accepted the u.s. proposal to grant amnesty to the three detainees. the time and date of the summit has been finalized but not yet made public it's an announcement the white house

says will be made by early next week kimberley health al-jazeera andrews air force base places chief of police says that he will ensure a safe transfer of power following the opposition's unexpected lection victory supporters gathering outside the royal palace in kuala lumpur waiting for the king to approve mahathir mohamad as prime minister the ninety two year old who governed believe in the one nine hundred eighty s. and ninety's led an opposition alliance the first election victory in sixty years. there's been some. understanding of. but we like to be clear that there is a and. we need to form now the that is because. of malaysia. i think even.

and it. is. one hour from the pollen in kuala lumpur. he has been waiting in the palace and from what we understand there has been no swearing and now this says two things about the situation here one many people do not on know or the political system is not equipped to handle such a monumental change this is the first time are seeing a new governments or a new party in place and to perhaps mattera may not have as much sway as he thing he thought or he had previously when he was prime minister mahathir even himself has admitted that he will have to devise new ways now with this new political system or to create a new political system to accommodate this kind of a political change it doesn't necessarily mean he automatically becomes the prime minister he will have to be nominated but his coalition members will probably do

that you will have to be endorsed by the king so it's all very likely that you will be if we see the current developments or the current events go according to how it should be according to the political system let's bring in kiev and wang in kuala lumpur he's a columnist and contributing editor for the new mandela mandela website and has focused on the as his election good to have you with us until now there's been no precedent in modern malaysia for a transfer of power a hottie of a hundred says now that says there's an urgency here the police chief that the police chief says that they will be he will ensure a safe transfer of power and yet. form a now former prime minister najib razak says while he accepts the verdict of the people he stopped short of conceding defeat to spot trouble ahead here. well it's problematic but of course as you've already pointed out this is historic

and unprecedented to have this transfer of power after sixty plus years of independence from malaysia this would be the first time i suppose the irony is that it's a transfer of power to a previous prime minister who was of this now vanquished party. whether this happens or not today tomorrow i think i think will prevail the numbers are pretty starkly in his favor of the number of seats that they want and that's it also. shows up precisely the problem and agenda that they want to fix which is the institutional malays in the institutional reforms which include this constitutional process but ninety two years old though is the man to be prime minister of the modern dynamic country like malaysia. bizarrely i think he might be partly because i think so much of what these

elections of shown up is that we've written about this i've written about this on the mondello as well that so much of these elections are not just about the cost of living and the economy which you know are major issues but also about the politics of moral rectitude of on and pride injured pride that many malaysians have felt especially. the mill a community in the rural urban hinterland who've been very angry with the sort of global infamy that. the previous prime minister not your brother had brought upon malaysia and i think what's happened now is that you've also got the prime minister with the necessary political legitimacy and also you know previous competence in trying to. hopefully institute those reforms that so many so many malaysians have

been you know hankering for for. since twenty years ago when this whole. political game i guess was first sparked off with the sacking and jailing of anwar ibrahim and why graeme i guess who's still in jail is probably the ghost this big feast good to see so many thanks indeed for being with us no worries thanks we're going to weather update next here on out to zero then questions over a violent siege of the indonesians prison it's being called an act of terror. facing a challenge in the streets thousands of nicaraguans demands that the president steps down following violent protests. how the weather has slushy set fabric cross japan over the next hour to clear skies

says twenty rockets were fired from inside syrian territory here towards the occupied golan heights and israeli targets here it says that four of those rockets were intercepted by israel and the other sixteen fell inside syrian territory nonetheless the response from israel was overwhelming and very different from the kind of strikes that israel's been carried out carrying out so far in syria during the course of the civil war it says dozens of iranian targets were struck in israel it says that it hit almost all of iran's infrastructure within israel the israeli military today saying that if iran wants to rebuild that infrastructure it will be a long process should it wish to do so the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman has been speaking at an annual conference this morning he is cautioning against overt celebration saying that israel does not want a further escalation this is though an escalation in response targeted it to things presumably to try to deter further iranian action and also to make the most of this

opportunity to do the most damage that it could to what israel says is a major threat inside syrian territory people here israelis are being told to go about their daily lives at the same time this area is being closed off as a military zone a siege inside a top security jail for terrorist convicts and in days here ended with the surrender of all one hundred fifty five prisoners five policeman taken hostage were killed before a sixth was released steadfast in reports. police half regained control of the height acuity prison after hundred fifty six inmates most of them detained on terrorism charges managed to take over three of the six prison blocks on tuesday. the rioting prisoners took six policemen hostage and killed five of them in what commanders described as brutal murderous one was later released i still claims responsibility for the hostage siege and uploaded photos and videos on websites

suggesting from inside prison police say the inmates seized a store room of weapons and explosives guns to skate it during antiterrorism rates police commanders deny a deal was made with the inmates to secure their surrender. about the explosions we heard we were finalizing the sterilization process because for about forty hours the prisoners were taking hostages and making bombs that's why we exploded and demolished. a few hundred indonesians have joined ice and those in that prison are either convicted awaiting trial for involvement in attacks one of the president's demand was to meet the south brooklyn played off. a man. who is on trial for an attack in two years ago prosecutors say he planned the attack from inside prison when hubby has carried out research into prisons holding terrorist convicts he says in most cases guards are incapable of controlling the prisoners

let alone to radicalize them but. those convicted on terrorism charges consider prison a place for them to study like an academy their university of jihad to them prisons are not considered a place where they will change their ideology they learn inside prison they recruit others. after they surrender the presidents have been moved to a not a prison on an island in jaffa but questions have been raised about how secure it is plans to build a top security jail especially for prisoners convicted of terrorism have been postponed for years while the hostage crisis has been resolved relatively smoothly a lot of questions remain how could this happen in five countries. by confiscate weapons and explosives for inside the prison compound all clear five according to experts at indonesia's present system complete overhaul. al-jazeera and out. in iraq security force personnel of started to vote forty eight hours

before the parliamentary election that everyone else votes in on saturday it's the fourth election since the u.s. led invasion deposed president saddam hussein fifteen years ago forcing is expected to fragment as usual between shia sunni and kurdish factions but most political parties are emphasizing unity as a solid reports not young voters are expected to play an important role in this election. iraq's second largest university remains scarred reminders of the fight against isis are everywhere in mosul but the bombed out rooms and charred corridors don't prevent young people in mosul from seeking a better future there are a cross-section of iraq's diverse society from all communities including certainly share in christian. as in most parts of iraq opinion about whether to vote is divided other encourage people to think outside the box and go and vote decisions

must be based on integrity and not on sectarian or ethnic lines while others disagree. it is better if we boycott the elections the main reason for boycotting is that i have not found anyone fit for office for leaving iraq young people in the capital baghdad also have mixed opinions about whether the election will bring change almost sixty percent of iraq's population is under twenty seven years old and many a lack of opportunity and limited prospects but in a country where opinion seems to be divided this seems to be consensus among the youth that there needs to be change at the top. in the run up to the election the government has banned discussions on politics in all public universities but opinions can't be silenced and there are no point i hope that we can have a bit a situation in the now and i hope whoever is elected can bring change to improve things that's why we have to vote. for a nice service seems nice security and iraqis have

a status in the world bank to change the constitution and change the government we have to get one president not multiple ones. not everyone gets the opportunity for higher education but many of those who do cannot find jobs. a model a.b. graduated from baghdad university five years ago despite his frustration with iraqi politics he hasn't lost hope. do i feel optimistic that the situation of the elections will be very different. but there will be a small change and that's a step in the right direction. and with that cautious optimism young iraqis get ready to elect another government hoping politicians will rise above sectarian divisions and corruption to work towards a better iraq some of the job read out of the area back that yemen is demanding that the united arab emirates withdraw its troops from island immediately in a letter to the un yemen says the move is quote a reflection of the state of disagreement between the yemeni government and the.

iraqi troops landed on island last week forcing out yemeni soldiers they claim they're on a mission to confront who the rebels on the island but island say there are no who thiis there is part of the military coalition backing the any government but their relations have been strained in recent months. the correct ones from all walks of life until the massive protests of the law the resignation of president daniel ortega it's the latest crisis the killing of dozens of protesters last month has a latin america at its on the sea of human is in the capital manila was nicaraguans from all walks of life from students to farmers to businessmen filled the streets of money and yet another unprecedented challenge to the supremacy of president daniel ortega and his unpopular wife the vice president i think a little more just being employed so much as we were afraid for too long from too

much injustice and her pressure but managua has awoken with reason the whole country is now what. was it i'm a farmer and i'm here because the killing of all those people is an acceptable we've had enough of your technique is an assassin. in the last three weeks forty two people have been killed and at least four hundred injured by riot police and pro-government gangs protesters are rejecting a truth and justice commission announced on sunday by the pro ortega national assembly there demanding that the killings and disappearances of students as well as a journalist be investigated by international rights organizations. ortega has been widely used of remaining in power for the last eleven years through fraudulent means he controls the electoral council the supreme court and much of the media now he's calling for peace and dialogue under the auspices of the catholic church but everyone we've spoken to here says they've just started i think

just the fact the president has to set a date for convening the negotiations just him would be. willing to discuss what. it's going to say but now it was influential catholic church is one of the advocates we think one of the objectives of the dialogue should all. to review the political system to achieve north and to democracy. this latest demonstration transpired peacefully with tens of thousands of nicaraguans blowing horns. in a deafening chorus to make their message heard. many here say nothing short of ortega's resignation will do others insist early elections with a new electoral body are the answer but the priority they agree is to bring the victims of nicaragua's worst political violence since the end of its civil war to justice. sian human al-jazeera. police in chile have fired tear gas
