the reaction from seoul. an intended gesture of peace in a process that may be going nowhere. the demolition of tunnels at north korea's underground nuclear testing site. it was meant to be a further step on the path to a historic summit but by the time these pictures were reaching the outside world it was already reeling from the shock of the summit's cancellation. from north korea's foreign ministry a measured response calling the decision not consistent with the desire of humankind for peace and stability adding that north korea remained willing to sit down with the u.s. side to solve problems at any time from south korea disappointment verging on the will demand. ask 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 as part of that effort south korea's foreign minister spoke with her u.s. counterpart mike pompei or by phone she emphasized the need to build on the goodwill of the landmark into korean summit at panmunjom in april fearing months of painstaking diplomacy could now be waisted. south korean president meeting with north korean leader kim jong un had laid the groundwork for the summit well i think jane is entitled to feel fairly indignant about this whole business because he has been a leader in working with kim jong un to develop an understanding and a way forward. in place of improving ties could there be a return to the hard line dictated by the us and demanded of its east asian allies

. in order for north korea to change their policies it is necessary for japan and the u.s. and south korea to apply pressure including the united nations sanctions. with the united states cold to stand firm against north korea south korea in hopes of mediating a historic breakthrough shouted as the totals of. robot broad al-jazeera so. house correspondent kimberly joins us now from washington kimberly is a june twelfth to chill realistic now. and the white house says that it's not realistic in a background call with reporters late thursday they said to sensually given the lack of preparation at this point the fact that u.s. negotiators are those that had were in place to lay the groundwork went to singapore they waited for the their north korean counterparts they never showed

they didn't answer the telephone they said in terms of logistics alone a it's almost impossible to see according to this white house official how there could be a june twelfth summit having said that the president continues to talk like it's a possibility what they say is it's not important that the date is met but the goal is met and that is denuclearization and so they continue to talk they continue to to work the telephone said the diplomatic cables back and forth in an effort to try and negotiate the terms of an upcoming meeting but for now it seems that the chances of a june twelfth summit are very remote and so what do we know stage of the discussions taking place behind the scenes between washington and pyongyang or any other internet cases that might be involved to lay the groundwork for any such meeting in the future. the issue really seems to be the definition of denuclearize ation it seems to mean different things depending on which side you're

on when it comes to the united states it means complete it means permanent it means irreversible and it means verifiable and one of the big concerns this white house official says is that goodwill gesture that happened a little more than twenty four hours ago by the north koreans where they dismantled that nuclear testing site they the united states was very clear in its determination of that saying that they wanted to make sure that there were international inspectors present for that in some form or capacity instead north korea allowed only foreign journalists to be present that's a concern for the united states so the on the other side north korea i believe is hoping for denuclearization to mean incremental attach to financial incentives so the expectation gap between the two sides very far apart. meeting if and when it

does happen will be determine exactly what denuclearization means given the expectations on both sides are very different all right thank you very much our white house correspondent kimberly with all the latest on that story. new york police have charged the hollywood producer harvey weinstein with sex abuse and other crimes against two women more than one hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct including rape. reports from washington. feared no more harvey weinstein a once powerful producer will be prosecuted for rape and other sex offenses erotic and or words harm to my palate for the future or hope that he would get. handcuffed the police made no attempt to shield him from the

a russian army missing you're going to know of course not and he questions the impartiality of the joint investigation team music of yes there are several versions including the one suggesting it was a ukrainian army missile or a plane or so on i repeat that there's nothing which would make us trust the final conclusions and we will not be without awful involvement in the investigation. belling katz and open source investigation team has been looking into flight m h seventeen for years and many of their findings have been subsequently backed up by the j.i.t. in the dutch city of the hague on friday belling cat identified a russian military intelligence officer ivana cough as a key suspect the seconds russian military figure they've implicated in the incidents this person is was the highest military ranking officer at the time in the so-called lugansk people's republic he represented the military

intelligence of russia at the time and he was in direct command and control of the mercenary slash volunteer operations of military units and militants in eastern ukraine in the lookout scare and is that of eastern ukraine so we believe we have identified somebody who has who is very high in the chain of command and who ultimately if. is link to the actual downing of a made seventeen is displayed unproven for the by the joint distribution team will be one of the critical suspects but none of the mounting international accusations are likely to shift russia's position much in the near future of the country's political culture sees contrition or acknowledgement of guilt as a sign of weakness and bloody may putin has too much invested in his global strongman image to back down now really talons al-jazeera said petersburg still
