u.s. naval academy president trump did not directly mention his canceled summit with north korea's leader but said the u.s. is prepared for whatever happens next the best way to prevent war. is to be fully prepared for war earlier while speaking to reporters outside the white house trump expressed optimism about meeting with kim jong un even suggesting the june twelfth summit he cancelled a date earlier could be back on so we'll see what happens to the degree that well we're talking to them now they very much want to do it we'd like to do it we're going to see what happens white house officials say given the lack of preparation the prospect of a june twelfth summit is almost impossible they say their goal now is making sure if and when a meeting does occur that it's productive still on friday trying tweeted he believes his political opponents are attempting to thwart his efforts writing democrats are so obviously rooting against us in our negotiations with north korea

indeed with us elections now months away that could shift control of congress from republicans to democrats the president's opponents are calling his efforts to negotiate with the north korean leader amateurish noting that the art of diplomacy is often much more difficult than the art of the deal on thursday the top democrat in the house of representatives chided trump over his council summit with kim jong un and he got this letter from the president saying ok never mind he must be having a giggle fit right there now and north korea despite domestic criticisms the white house says trump's focus on diplomacy and the goal of north korea's denuclearize ation he continues to coordinate with his secretary of state mike pump aoe and is consulting with his national security advisor john bolton a man many blame for ultimately the railing the june summit kimberly how could

al-jazeera washington. south korea's president described trump's cancellation as shocking and regrettable moon jai n. played a significant role in bringing washington and pyongyang closer together rob mcbride has the reaction now 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 u.s. 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 call to stand firm against north korea south korea in hopes of mediating a historic breakthrough shouted as the tunnels of. robert broad al-jazeera so let's go live now to rob reynolds he's in washington for us and rob we know that president trumps approach to north korea has been unconventional from the start there's this constant reversal in position suggests that there's a fair about whether these types of techniques will work. i guess

you could say there is some question about you know the entire series of tactics in the lead up to the current situation miriam the. president began in his relationship with. kim jong un with lots of bellicose statement of course everyone remembers fire and fury and then he switched gears completely accepting the invitation to a summit and speaking to kim like equal and then a friend really so the chances now that this is actually going to take place on the twelfth as president trump said might happen i think is really president pretty remote does tend to speak off the cuff and i think that this is reinforce the impression among a lot of people here that you know he acts out of impulse without

a lot of of considered judgment and another thing to think about it in the in the in the. piece we just watched by by robin pride the idea now that the united states can induce south korea and china to apply maximum pressure on north korea to come to the table after president trump walked away from the table seems almost absurd. all right well thank you very much rob reynolds with all the latest on that story from washington on out on all the top stories this hour new york police have charged the hollywood producer harvey weinstein with great sex abuse and other crimes against two women more than one hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct including right patty call him reports from washington. feared no more harvey weinstein

a once discredited hollywood director whose work is still acclaimed what happens in this new york courtroom will help determine if history will remember weinstein as a producer or a predator whose crimes created a new feminist movement that sent the message to the world me too but time's up political hain al-jazeera washington with the news hour live from london much will still ahead then explain what was different about this friday's protest by palestinians along the gaza israel borda also looking at how europe's new data privacy laws could affect even the smallest and cities like all in tehran sports clubs. and in sport the houston rockets are just one win away from making the n.b.a. finals with a little help from. five

d.v.d.'s where. does your son on the sofa. the u.s. house of representatives approved a measure requiring the pentagon to investigate whether america has broken the law by torturing detainees in yemen hundreds of men of reportedly gone missing in the south of the country after they were allegedly swept up during a search for al qaeda fighters american officials say that u.s. forces have been involved in interrogations of detainees in yemen but they've denied any participation in or knowledge of human rights abuses. will hundreds of people in the libyan city of diana have protested against the siege imposed by forces loyal to renegade general hurley for huffed or several civilians have been killed and others wounded since have to us troops began fighting the local group done a protection force earlier this month turner is the only major eastern city not under control siege is led to shortages of food and medicine while hospitals have also been shut down now exit polls suggest island has overwhelmingly back to

change the constitution relaxing abortion laws the referendum asked whether they want to repeal an article in the constitution known as the eighth amendment the law gives the unborn fetuses the same right to life as the mother effectively banning them from terminating the pregnancy current irish legislation only allows abortions when the woman's life is at risk otherwise they could be jailed for up to fourteen years if voters chose to repeal the amendment the irish government has vowed to introduce legislation allowing abortion within within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy island has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in europe only matched by poland which allows terminations in some cases and malta where it's completely banned will need is in the irish capital dublin and hearing there are some sixty eight percent of voters in favor of easing the restrictive abortion laws there what more you hearing about that. that's right mary in the last few minutes

or so some real movement here this is a poll an exit poll by the irish times that of course has now been picked up by news agencies including the reuters news agency that says that sixty eight percent of voters have voted in favor voted yes to repealing the eighth amendment of the irish constitution thirty two percent have voted no to maintaining the constitution and the eighth amendment as you can see behind me the windows in this polling station starting to go dark you may see the lights go off completely polling of course came to a complete close at ten pm up and down the country as far as where where in some areas voter turnout was very high indeed as high as sixty percent we also know that in certain parts times during the day it was much higher than another major rowboats we're talking about the general election we're talking about the last major referendum for gay marriage in two thousand and fifteen we know of course and

i was sure that it's not possible to do a postal vote to a vote by proxy which has meant that lots of people have had to come by plane by boat to vote here in person but what these early results indicate is that this could well be a landslide for those who want to repeal the eighth amendment to the irish constitution that has been in place since one thousand nine hundred two. irish people have been given an important choice in a highly contentious referendum ahead of the vote campaign is from both sides of the argument took the debate to the people islands voting on whether to repeal the eighth amendment of the country's constitution that all but bans abortion. the law says that the life of a mother and unborn fetus are equal abortions are only allowed if there is a serious risk to the mother's life not in cases of rape incest or serious

optimality those that break the law or face a maximum fourteen year prison sentence. is a doctor she's voting yes to repeal the eighth amendment she was pregnant with her third child when things started to go wrong we discovered that our baby had a condition called. him at the top half of his head had never formed so there was nothing about his brain. that. would have to carry the child to full term possibly another twenty weeks she travelled to liverpool in the u.k. for the portion just being alone in a foreign country when you're dealing with us and then. giving birth and then. having to board a plane to come home. and then a couple of weeks later. it's the courier and he has the ashes of my baby. this is how the no campaign to getting their message across they believe that if

the law changes it will be the moment. with conservative against those that want. change many of. the catholic church dominated irish society is strongly opposed to abortion. of conception until natural death catholics believe that human life is sacred and therefore more of a of protection when it comes to the issue off the born we believe that worthy of special protection 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 backs a change in 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. well a little bit more on the exit poll sixty eight percent of voted yes according to the irish times in favor of appealing a amendment thirty two percent against this polling station behind me is closed its doors you can see the ballot boxes here are being loaded onto a vine the official count begins on saturday at nine o'clock in the morning local time and the official result will be given out later on saturday but it does look as regards to these early figures this if this could well be a landslide for those who voted yes thank you very much with all the latest from dublin neave baka. well the russian president has dismissed accusations that moscow was behind the shooting down of a malaysian airlines flight of the ukraine four years ago on friday australia and the netherlands announced they were holding russia legally responsible for downing the plane as follows

a report by an international team which found the russian army's fifty third anti aircraft brigade and provided the missile system used to shoot down the jets al-jazeera as roy chalons reports now from st petersburg. the netherlands responded to information presented by the joint investigation teams j.i.t. on thursday with swift state level action the team said that russia's army moved to tell our missile system into eastern ukraine as war zone in the summer of two thousand and fourteen whilst there it was allegedly used to shoot down the malaysian airlines passenger plane flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur all two hundred ninety eight people on board died many of them were australian and dutch astray and the netherlands have now informed the russian federation that we hold it responsible under international law its role in the bringing down of m.h. seventeen astray and the netherlands have requested russia to enter into

negotiations to open up a dialogue about its conduct and to seek reparations the dutch government says this is a complex legal process a possible next step is to present the case to an international court but russia has spent four years presenting counter narratives and that pattern continues at this in petersburg international economic forum for the mayor putin was asked if russia held any culpability are you saying this was not a russian missile this was not 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 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 second 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 military units and militants in eastern ukraine in the lookout scariness that of eastern ukraine so we believe we have identified somebody who was who was very high in the chain of command and who

ultimately if. is link is to the actual downing of seventeen is displayed unproven for the by the joint best 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 retellings al-jazeera said petersburg. joining me now in the studio is still the principle russian analyst at the global risk consultancy group verus maple cross thank you very much for coming into the studio to speak to us so the international team carrying out the investigation says there is evidence that shows a russian is sile shot down flight m h seventeen of eastern ukraine four years ago

saying that the evidence is strong enough to stand up in court what then are the legal options for pursuing the case unfortunately very few at the moment even we've seen the j.i.t. as at the end of this conclusion as a at the end of the report asked russia to to come forward and enter into a dialogue so that there could be some sort of compensation process or some sort of way of resolving. the issue for want of a better word russia has rejected this there has been talk of some sort of international tribunals some sort of arbitration system but really to to give anything like that teeth it does need to be ratified through the u.n. security council which of course russia has a veto on and it all hinges on the idea that russia will willingly accept the conclusions of any court like this will accept responsibility and guilt if it is found to be done so and will pay a penalty afterwards and everything that we've seen out of the kremlin suggests that this is simply not going to happen well the investigation try to identify the

specific individuals. because they're still investigating whether russian soldiers actually fired the missile. this is something that's you know extremely difficult to tell because the obviously the the circle of people who are involved in this directly is quite small they have identified a number of g.r.u. russian military intelligence operatives who they believe are in command of or coordinating separatist forces in eastern ukraine at the time but ultimately from a legal standpoint the two most important people in this are sergei showing the russian defense minister and vladimir putin who is president is the commander in chief of the russian armed forces and so if this was a authorized mission bears ultimate legal responsibility and less their. contention is that this book crew suddenly decided to skip into ukraine on their own accord and went on notice for a day this would be within the russian military chain of command which ultimately goes right to the kremlin all of them do you do and when russian officials deny

that a russian missile ever crossed into ukrainian territory well that's the situation right at the moment you know in ordinary times we have seen incidences where states that are involved in hostilities with one another or a very bad relations such as american iran in the one nine hundred eighty s. . when there was a similar incident with an iranian airline shut down have been able to find some sort of mechanism for providing compensation without assigning guilt but even in that case the americans you know admitted that it was their missile whereas russia is still keeping very close strong to the fact that you know this had nothing to do with them thank you very much appreciate your analysis of the investigation what we know so far there on that bill from various people croft thank you. there and the news hour much more still ahead disillusioned and left behind the

in gaza palestinians have gathered along the gaza israel border again on friday to protest against the israeli blockade one hundred thirteen palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since the protests began at the end of munch but it's miss reports from the border. it's been a pretty quiet friday one of the quietest fridays in gaza have been for weeks and then within just the space of an hour really hundreds and hundreds of people were bussed in here bussed in by hamas by islamic jihad another political groups in gaza and bussed in to protest again at the border now we know that we've been told that one of the tactics following. recent protests has been slightly different the tactic has been not to go right up to the little try and breach it but to still protesters still trying to keep the israeli forces on their toes that's the tactic we've been told they're trying to deploy here the protest organizers and that

certainly seems was what has happened here because really it was there was nobody here about an hour ago and then they all came they protested there's been tear gas and there have been a number of people injured by live fire on by tear gas that the israelis have been throwing over at least twenty people injured and they've been taken away to hospital for treatment but this as i say seems to be this new approach keeping the israeli military on its toes it was quiet all day and then suddenly this quick sharp shock of a large protest group arriving seemingly out of thin air. to iraq now where politicians are trying to negotiate a coalition to form the next government. there has emerged as an unusual power broker has blocked the alliance captured more parliamentary seats than any other party and found strong support among baghdad's working class some of the reports now from the. other city. of the donkey carts

a microcosm of iraq representing the divide between baghdad's rich and poor this election has given people hope but the question remains in iraq's complicated politics where their votes will be enough to bring about the change people here are hoping for. to form a government that needs coalition partners but he also has to manage voter expectations when he makes alliances america be able to say that we have high hopes from his eminence smoked out al solder he's the man of reforms. and entered the green zone for the sake of reforms so that the oppressed would rise. so there also need support from six members of his side when bloc which includes the communist party the former minister of science says the magnitude of iraq's challenges needs a united approach. with the public the social service the public services.
