it's protected war that is divided tribes here for generations. i believe that this is a tremendous setback for north korea and indeed a setback for the world the u.s. calls off a summit with north korea pyongyang says it's willing to resolve the issues with the u.s. . the american unspent came hours after north korea allowed people journalists to watch it demolish its nuclear test site. hello again peter here in doha you are watching al-jazeera also coming up in the next thirty minutes the indonesian parliament has approved an anti terror a bill to give more powers to the army after

a series of attacks. and why this american boxing champion has been given a posthumous pardon by the president. threats of military action followed by talk of peace and now a canceled summit it has been a roller coaster ride and it appears the u.s. president and the north korean leader are at loggerheads yet again north korea cold donald trump's decision to cancel the talks unexpected and expressed willingness to sit down and talk quotes at any time and in any format earlier donald trump called off the meeting planned for june the twelfth blaming tremendous anger and open hostility as expressed by pyongyang the decision called the south korean president off guard when g. and says he is perplexed by the trump decision calling it a regrettable development she had pretends he has more. a few hours off to

releasing a letter counseling the plan summit with north korea president will trump issued a warning spoken to south korea and japan and they are not only ready should fully sure reckless acts be taken by north korea but they are willing to shoulder much of the cost of any financial burden any of the costs associated by the united states in operations if such an unfortunate situation is forced upon us however the president's address to the singapore summit could still happen it's possible that the existing summit could take place or a summit. at. a later date doldrums letter to north korea was a curious mix of threats and polite regret sadly based on the tremendous anger and

open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is appropriate of this time to have this long planned meeting the letter said you talk about your nuclear capabilities but ours are so massive and powerful i pray to god they will never have to be used but the president added i thought a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me and ultimately it is only the dialogue that matters if you change your mind having to do with this most important summit please do not hesitate to call me or write us secretary of state also said the next move is for the north koreans to make chairman kim why that decision to make for himself as president said we welcome their call their outreach to head back down there did we consult with our allies about the decision before making a public i don't want at least advise them that it's was coming i don't want to get into who all we notified the white house i think will speak to that in a statement the south korean government said it was attempting to make sense of what precisely president means the north koreans and it was spurred by repeated

threats from administration officials that north korea could face the libyan model if no deal was reached that refers to the overthrow and killing of libyan leader moammar gadhafi in twenty eleven the fear now is a hardening of positions on both sides i'm a little bit concerned now that if the trump people give up on this completely that we might be headed back to where we were six months ago fire and fury and the rest of it right it's important that we keep talking to the north koreans and we're not slide back to fire and fury still for the moment the president says he is ready for what he called constructive dialogue with north korea i really believe him when he wants to do what's right so hopefully they can work out she have written see al-jazeera washington. well donald trump's announcement came just hours after north korea said it had blown up its only nuclear test sites in a goodwill gesture to reduce regional tensions. on. foreign journalists or the sites being dismantled on thursday and said they heard

a loud blast reporters were given rare access to witness the event however international nuclear inspectors weren't invited pyongyang promised to shut down the site to show its commitment to denuclearization north korea's vice foreign minister kim kye gwan released a statement through the official news agency k c n a he says president trump's position on the north korea u.s. summit is a decision that does not coincide with mankind's wishes for peace and stability a sudden announcement of canceling the summit unilaterally was unexpected for us and we find it very regrettable we would like to say once again to the u.s. that we are ready to sit down with the united states at any time in any manner to solve this issue. south korea says it will continue to work with the u.s. in pursuit of talks with the north mierda me as for vice foreign minister kim statement we see no change of a sincere will by the relevant countries when it comes to resolving the current situation through dialogue the government will continue our diplomatic efforts to

further extend this momentum for the talks in other news to libya where at least seven people have been killed and twenty five others were wounded after a car bomb exploded and distant city of benghazi local sources say it happened behind a hotel near a syrian products market. the indian seniors and parliament has approved stronger anti terror legislation following a series of recent suicide bomb attacks now the change allows military involvement in counter-terrorism policing and extended to tension periods more than twenty people were killed in attacks in indonesia's second largest city sort of by earlier this month the suicide blasts were carried out by two families including children linked to eisele scott hyla joins us live now from jakarta so scott what will the authorities now be able to do that they weren't able to do before. peter well the best way to describe this these are sweeping changes to the anti terror laws here

in indonesia and as you mentioned detention of those suspected but not charged that has grown to twenty one days expanded to twenty one days and even those who have been charged officially charged for the government to gather more evidence and the judiciary system to gather more evidence they're allowed to keep them for over two hundred days once they have been charged so those are changes that have been made but also a lot of focus on prevention not something that that was lacking in previous anti-terrorism laws here in this country and that focus is on those who have pledged allegiance or been trained by or traveled overseas in far with terror organizations those now are they can be charged for those activities or in the past they couldn't and that a lot of the officials here authorities here said really kind of made it difficult for them to prevent attacks most of the previous laws before today before these new laws were passed on friday it was more of a fact of after the terrorist attacks happened the investigation went into it and now they're looking at more preventing terror attacks from even taking place peter

you get the sense got this far as the authorities are concerned the problem might have been look they can't react to homegrown threats equally they can't react exclusively to an external threat because of the way that people all recruited they travel abroad and then they return. exactly and that's something they've really been focused on it's really been part of the dialogue you know this this new legislation was first proposed about two years ago there was a suicide attack here in central jakarta that we started the process for this obviously took two years for it to finally come to the floor here in parliament on friday part of the impetus was those recent attacks you mentioned peter and i were over twenty people were killed that really kind of gave it the spark to push it through the legislation here and it's immediately now going into law one thing that's interesting too that seems to be directly tied to those recent attacks in this bill in this new legislation is those who have been charged with acts of terror that involve children there time can be increased time behind bars can be

increased by a third if children are involved so obviously a direct reaction to what we saw over the last couple of weeks peter scott thanks a lot. police of seize nearly thirty million dollars from three apartments linked to the family of the former prime minister najib razak police say no cheap son and daughter were living in the apartments that she was already being questioned by and to corruption offices his opponents accuse him and his associates of stealing billions from the state investment from one b. not being banned from leaving the country after a shock election defeats to his mental turned martin mohammed typical poland has more now from kuala lumpur. what is clear is that they have found money far exceeding what the prime minister or any of his officials should have in their coffers so what they have done is they've raided three apartments three premises linked allegedly linked to the former prime minister one was being occupied by his

daughter one was by his son and one had remains empty and among that they have found nearly thirty million u.s. dollars in hard cash in twenty six different currencies they've also found thirty seven bags of luggage containing jewelry a luxury watches all this is now being valued by the police and other experts also found two hundred eighty four luxury handbags including birkin bag some once again these are all being authentic hated by experts now. wife had always been accused of living to an excess and has been known for appointments for luxury goods and a high end goods and so people had always pointed that out saying that there definitely was and accumulation of corruption but this is far beyond what many people would have expected and that you know is being closely watched very closely watched here with fascination disgust and perhaps a sense of justice that something is funny being done. international investigators

have concluded that the missile used to shoot down a civilian passenger plane in twenty fourteen came from a russian military unit all two hundred ninety eight people on board the malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen were killed president vladimir putin said russia doesn't trust the investigation but will still take a look at its findings his word chalons. progress has seemed painfully slow at times but piece by piece the joint investigation team led by the netherlands is building its case into the deaths of two hundred ninety eight innocent passengers and crew over eastern ukraine four years ago and the j.i.t. case points increasingly heard russia. today the joint task force has concluded that the missile used to shoot down m.h. seventeen originated from the fifty third. brigade of the russian armed forces

the international j i t back to the latest allegations with plenty of information they showed photos and videos alleging the particular missile launcher was driven into ukraine from the fifty third brigade a base near chord scale in southwestern russia they displayed parts of a missile with a production code indicating it was made in moscow in one thousand nine hundred six and they suggested they had other data presumably classified intelligence as yet there are no named suspects and no accusation that it was russian military personnel who shot down m.h. seventeen rather than the separatists russia has always denied supporting and supplying during the war in eastern ukraine but the j.i.t. feels it's narrowing in on those responsible and a prosecution in a dutch court. but the chances of russians facing justice in a foreign courtroom are vanishingly small russia doesn't extradite its civilians let alone military personnel involved in a clandestine war in

a neighboring country and russia has put forward an often contradictory collection of counter narratives for why it couldn't possibly have had any role in the needless deaths of nearly three hundred people bloody may putin meeting french president macron incent petersburg responded to the new accusations. ukraine is involved in the investigation russia isn't so we don't know what this commission is writing in those reports and what it's based on in order for us to recognize the report we have to be fully involved in the investigation that we deal although new for the j.i.t. is case the substance of their allegations was actually already in the public domain and has been for some time it was a reports two years ago by open source investigators belling caps that first pointed to russia's fifty third anti-aircraft missile brigade as the origin of the big missile system and bearing cat say they have another big m.h.

cancellation of a planned summit with the u.s. president is against the wishes of the world donald trump called off the meeting blaming tremendous anger and open hostility from the north. says it's still a result of the issues. south korea's president says he is perplexed by the trump position his foreign minister has spoken with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei of the agreed to continue pursuing talks with pyongyang. the announcement came just hours after north korea said it had blown up its only nuclear test site in a gesture of goodwill to reduce regional tensions reporters were given rare access to witness the event but international nuclear inspectors weren't involved it has more on that story from beijing. publicly china's leaders will be disappointed by president donald trump's decision but privately i don't think they'll be surprised after all president xi jinping finds himself caught between two of the world's most

unpredictable leaders but it's possible the trump's decision will be seen by china's leaders as a slap in the face not just for p.r. nyang but also for beijing because china have publicly supported the idea of this summit taking place just a few days ago china's foreign minister wang ye had urged washington to cherish the opportunity of peace now the chinese media has been quite restrained in its coverage so far an editorial in the china daily on friday urged washington and north korea to continue with their contacts now at the moment of course we have friction between china and the united states on many fronts right now taiwan the south china sea the iran nuclear deal north korea's nuclear program and of course a u.s. diplomat going home to the united states suffering from a mystery illness and of course just a few days ago the united states announced that it was an inviting china to take

part in a major naval exercise the two to be held offer why in the next few weeks a lot of strain a lot of tension between china and the united states with no one quite sure how it's all going to play out in the coming days weeks and months the u.n. chief antonio terror says he is deeply concerned by the cancellation of the summit he says all parties to the north korea talks should continue their diplomatic efforts with quote nerves of steel diplomatic efforts a james bays now from the u.s. . in new york ambassadors were arriving for a meeting of the u.n. security council when news of president trump's letter cancelling the summit broke the road ahead as is a bumpy road and nothing is a given i think i just saw the news like you did and and so we will look into what that means i just i just heard that on the way now i hope this opportunity this opportunity will not be it will not be missed in geneva the u.n.

secretary general was attending a conference on disarmament i am deeply concerned by the cancellation of that planned meeting in singapore between the president united states and that we that of the democratic people's republic of korea. and their euros the partners to continue their dialogue to find the best to the peaceful and very fireball didn't realize ation if the korean peninsula the high level diplomacy of recent months involving a showpiece summit between the two koreas and the highest level meeting between the u.s. and north korea for decades was always a high stakes undertaking the question now is whether it's broken down completely or whether it can be revived one expert is pessimistic. the way that sent this letter with the threat of america's massive nuclear arsenal i think the north koreans are going to take that well i think this is going to cause them to

feel like they've got to display their massive nuclear arsenal also it happened immediately after north korea took the step of collapsing its test tunnels they're going to feel betrayed diplomatic channels are still believed to be open between the u.s. and north korea urging contacts will now need to be made to stop a slide away from diplomacy and towards conflict james bays out zero at the united nations. polls are set to open in ireland shortly on whether to repeal one of europe's strictest abortion laws the eighth amendment makes terminating a pregnancy illegal in all but the strictest of circumstances and it's punishable with a long prison sentence the boat pitches social and religious conservatives against those who want a more liberal ireland need barker reports from dublin irish people have been given an important choice campaigners from both sides of the argument have been bringing

catholics believe that human life is sacred and therefore worthy of protection when it comes to the issue off the the on board we believe that worthy off special protection and in law but increasingly even people with religious beliefs are choosing a different path helped by political leaders like the country's prime minister who fax a change of the law. the government's proposed allowing unlimited access to abortions during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy subject to medical advice if the referendum is passed for many of this debate that's a step too far both sides say they're seeking a compassionate. to a difficult question. leave barca al-jazeera dublin now the u.s. president donald trump has posthumously pardoned the first black heavyweight boxing champion jack johnson he was convicted in one thousand nine hundred thirteen on charges of taking his white girlfriend across state lines for immoral purposes not the law at the time could be used to prosecute men who were in an intimate racial
