have requested russia to enter into negotiations to open up a dialogue about its conduct and to seek reparations well the u.s. says that it strongly supports the demands to hold russia to account the state department says it's time for russia to acknowledge its role in the shooting down of m.h. seventeen and to cease its callous disinform ation campaign al jazeera as rory challenge reports now from st petersburg. australia and the netherlands have taken this step because of findings released by the joint investigation team looking at the downing of m.h. seventeen those findings were released in a press conference yesterday and what the j.i.t. said was the missile system that shot down m.h. seventy had come from a specific brigade of the russian military the fifty anti-aircraft missile brigade

and that the system of being moved from a base in the kursk in south western russia across the ukrainian border in the summer of two thousand and fourteen then was used to shoot down and wait seventeen and then was moved back into russia again the evidence presented was clearly enough for. the netherlands and australia to feel that they could hold russia legally accountable for this now they say that holding the country legally accountable in this way is a complex process what they want to centrally is for russia to enter into dialogue with them ultimately accept responsibility for there to be some kind of recompense for the families who lost people in the incidents probably compensation they wants the international courts or an international body to perhaps hear the next stage take this forward now russia has always denied

involvement in the downing of seventeen effectively for it to do so for it to acknowledge responsibility would be to acknowledge its role in the conflicts that's been taking place in in eastern ukraine something which it has always denied as well a clandestine war effectively in a neighboring country moscow vladimir putin has invested so much in its foreign policy decisions that it would be a sign of weakness for him to step back from. that's to acknowledge guilt in any way and so until the administration tainted in russia until by me putin perhaps is no longer in office i don't think we're going to get any admission of culpability from the russians we'll get more of what they've done so far which is deny deny and deny president trump has called north korea's response to him canceling the shuttle some as warm and productive and he expressed hope for peace june twelfth would have

been the first time a sitting u.s. president met with the north korean leader but downside grown in recent days on whether the summit would actually go ahead on thursday trump canceled a historic summit in singapore with a letter north korea has said that it's still willing to sit down for talks with the u.s. at any time and called trump's decision extremely regrettable china has called for the u.s. and north korea to be patient and to beat each other halfway jabber tansey reports . a few hours after releasing a letter counseling the plan summit with north korea president donald 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 suggested 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 inappropriate 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 which mean 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 the case 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 trump 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 in young people who want to do what's right so hopefully they can work out she have written see al-jazeera washington well let's get the view from seoul al-jazeera center thomas reports. there's no doubt donald trump's cancellation of the summit caught those here in south korea on the hope president moon wasn't told about the decision in advance but over the course of friday there's been a clear effort to find the positive the plainness as a perspiring moment rather than a cancellation the foreign minister here spoke to her u.s. counterpart here on friday my pump and the readout from that phone conversation is interesting because she stresses that my home player says that the u.s. remains committed to dialogue well she also stresses that the same message she's hearing from pyongyang who show clear signs of will she says and hope to carry on with talks the prime minister of south korea deputy in effect the president moon is in austria and he said in comments to reporters there that the preliminary

cancellation of the summit is very regrettable but we hope this might be simply a pressplay moment and that the meeting might happen off the rule that's the clear message coming out of seoul they've got sucked bar up the hill they don't want to have to walk straight back down again they want this to be a delay but not a cancellation police in new york have charged the hollywood producer harvey weinstein with rape sexual abuse and other crimes against two women he had himself handed himself to police earlier on friday more than one hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct he was fired from the weinstein company following the allegations which triggered the meat to movement weinstein was denied all allegations of known consensual sex life out of washington out of serious kitty how cute is that for a second believe what exactly has happened it's morning. very fast moving incredible pictures as we saw harvey weinstein leaving the police department in

handcuffs he has appeared before a manhattan judge where he the terms of his bail was set and the stock number ten million dollars his passport rescinded and what was most interesting is what happened outside the courtroom just a few moments ago harvey weinstein's attorney his defense lawyer appearing before reporters taking a few questions and also making a statement and what he said there is that he intends to plead not guilty to all of these charges harvey weinstein when that that trial does start to take place this is a process that will be drawn out the lawyer saying that it could be is as many as seven months but legal experts speculate it will be much longer given that there may be other jurisdictions that are also prepared to lay charges but what is also interesting is that the lawyer made his arguments his legal arguments that he believes that harvey weinstein's accusers the dozens of women who have come forward

in the media but the two that are at the crux of this case saying that their arguments were not factually supported that the sex acts that harvey weinstein is accused of in the view of harvey weinstein and his attorney were consensual but then also he portrayed harvey weinstein as a victim himself saying that in fact he has been a victim of the movement he said that is referring to the hash tag me too movement where women on social media have been talking openly for months since the revelations about harvey weinstein the accusations at least in the allegations against him so widespread predatory behavior to course women into sexual acts against their will so this me too movement. his attorney saying that harvey weinstein is a victim of this and that given the length of time of these accusations where it

took women he says his accuser so long to report the alleged crimes that he questions the integrity of those claims astonishing to see these remarks coming out and certainly likely to infuriate many of the accusers not just the ones at the crux of this case but also other women who have since come forward hard to believe anything scary how could their lives in washington. good weather update next here on al-jazeera then voting on the way in ireland on whether to repeal some of the world's strictest abortion. and father questions from the laziest former prime minister as a corruption investigation uncovers new evidence. we have some very nasty weather making its way into central areas of china at the

a difficult question. the european union has introduced sweeping new legislation to protect the privacy of its citizens known as g.d.p. our general data protection regulation that it requires all entities to protect the personal data of all e.u. residents means any information that could be used to identify a person including photos posted on social networking sites and your e-mail address under the g.d.p. our people will get expanded rights to access the information to the company as collected on them and people will also now have the right to be forgotten which means companies must delete someone's data if an individual withdraws consent for it to be held companies will have to replace long complex terms and conditions with a simple to understand consent request and finally if a company has a data breach it must inform all its users within seventy two hours of efforts to

comply with the new law have created panic and confusion many organizations organizations say that they are ready and some major u.s. websites have already been blocked in europe as the new rules take effect paul brennan reports from girl in. european data holders have had two years to work out a game plan for g.d.p. but the protection law intended to create a level playing field for data use has hit smaller groups hard. this youth football club in berlin uses membership data to circulate newsletters and fixture lists the staff are all volunteers g.d.p. are is a major headache we have the home page and actually i love having photos at every team on the home page no we're not sure if we do it you're not going to be ready by friday are you. not completely. for europe's tech companies g.d.p.

when put together really starts to matter lobby groups and campaigners have broadly welcomed g.d.p. are as a reset button a wake up call they say for e.u. citizens to engage with some fundamental questions do i really want to continue giving this company my data and when need to do that is that it isn't necessary for much for me to make a conscious attempt or a conscious decision and what data they share a recent survey of german companies revealed the just twenty five percent of them expected to be able to meet the g.d.p. our deadline e.u. data regulators are expected to be sympathetic for now but after extra time comes penalties paul brennan al-jazeera berlin elite calendar is a legal officer with privacy as national she says the regulation puts transparency at the forefront for companies and organizations. what we've seen is more and more
