al-jazeera investigations cricket match fixes. this is al jazeera. hello i'm about to sin and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes to get busy while we're talking to them they very much want to do it we'd like to do is we're going to see what donald trump says his highly anticipated summit with north korea could be back on a day off to calling it off plus. if you. think he's up to the ears for many exit polls in ireland suggest a sweeping mandate for easing its strict abortion laws. they would producer harvey

weinstein's charged with rape and sexual assault. heavy rain and strong winds hit oman has the worst cycling on record makes landfall. u.s. president donald trump a suggested his high stakes summit with north korea's leader could be back on a day off he called it off tom says he's having a very productive dialogue to revive the talks south korea has welcomed the move white house correspondent kelly holcomb reports as he delivered the commencement address at the 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 now 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 canceled 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 a o. and his consulting with his national security advisor john bolton a man many blame for ultimately the railing the june summit kimberly halkett al-jazeera washington. so you just heard about trump's apparent turnaround on north korea well let's take a look at some of his other key foreign policy decisions just days after taking office trump lived up to his campaign promise of withdrawing barack obama's signature trade deal the trans-pacific partnership his promise of an alternative

deal is yet to materialize then last august he began the process of pulling out of the twenty fifteen paris climate accord another agreement spearheaded by his predecessor trump said he hoped to replace it with a better deal for the u.s. but nothing's on the table yet. earlier this month the us president dumb to the obama iran nuclear agreement that was despite opposition from the other six countries who signed it on friday leaders of two of the nation's party to the iran agreement warned the u.s. exit was further threatening global stability is some of what russian president vladimir putin and his french counterpart emanuel had to say at the international economic forum and some petersburg but this was a draconian team is not on the if international agreements assigned and then revised every four years it would offer zero horizon for planning it will create the atmosphere of nervousness and lack of trust school other which the media don't care the situation in the world looks as if everyone was playing football according

to judo rules what an interesting game we have not judo and not football it's just chaos and it's where we're heading and what we're concerned about. i believe that president trump abandoned the twenty fifteen nuclear deal because it was signed by his predecessor. we now need to continue our discussion with iran in order to convince the united states to gradually return to the discussion because we will expand the framework not because we are giving up on the twenty fifteen treaty but because we are responding to a very legitimate concern to israel and saudi arabia to a larger extent we are thinking about the need to destabilize the whole region so i believe that the kind of dialogue i had with president trump was very necessary and very useful because it enabled us to open up about this particular point and allowed us to move forward. well all of a big he is an advisor to the top administration and he was a deputy assistant secretary of transportation under the clinton administration

he's joining us on skype from lubbock texas we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed you've clearly seen two very different styles of administration how strong is the argument that the trumpet ministrations policy of putting america first may sound great domestically but it's making those running america seem unreliable in the rest of the world. well i think what he's trying to do and thank you for having me today is really do an economic reset internationally this is all about next only in china games versus the clintonian nafta games and the quite whisper in the room is henry kissinger who is really trying to advise the administration on american supremacy in the twenty first century we saw much of this going on in the early twentieth century in the roosevelt each teddy roosevelt age which was looking at tax reform and immigration reform and

infrastructure redevelopment and trade reorganization we're seeing that resurface again in twenty first century but is faster and we have we have a much more a faster foreign policy or faster capital and faster policy making that's taking place because this is a faster century we're also looking also at the possibility of trying to bring international populism tied to international prosperity in this was what he was talking about that post and this is what international leaders want him to do that . from what you're saying you suggest that donald trump clearly has a particular set of policies in mind and stuff that he wants to put in place the problem that i would perceive is that that's fine in terms of domestically it's type of it's fine within the walls of the white house and within the walls of the administration but on the wider world stage there is a mystery wrecked to some degree or at least a misunderstanding of what he's trying to achieve partially because there are so many different messages that are coming out of the white house we saw that recently

and over north korea for example with my pump a statement by michael pale and. john bolton and of course the president himself where does that leave how vulnerable if you like does that leave the trumpet ministration globally when he's trying to make all these changes. well i think he really is trying to reset he has a hawkish john bolton and the supply side and larry got who is really at by using pump ale and tying also the policy interests of america first with the president and that is a unity that is trying to rebalance what we're looking at trade if you soloed the candidate coming or he was really talking about china trade policy we're talking about economic interests mediation versus intellectual property rights negotiation practices that are taking place across the world and he was really trying to tell the american people that we are concerned about china's trade policies with united

states and how we're balancing ourselves out and that trade deficit you know china's policy time is caught cami is twelve trillion dollars truculent trillion dollars in united states is twenty trillion dollars so there's a difference of eight trillion dollars between the two economic enterprises so this is about global competitiveness and if the race is on right i see what you mean in terms of the efforts to try to create a global competitiveness and i understand that but nevertheless i come back to the point that perception is key in all of this and donald trump's freewheeling responses. to international relations have often been swift but in doesn't that leave him open to being tripped up diplomatically i mean only seeing that at the moment with came jong un and the north korea summit for example. well i think kim jong own had to come back to the table because china stick it back to the table because donald trump in his negotiation mediation practices is paired to walk away

that's a brand new stance on foreign american foreign policy if you look at the past where usually stayed at the table long time and often times we ended up with things that were against our interest and against our right spates negotiations but right now he's very much so focused on interspace negotiation and interest based mediation of rights based negotiation he's prepared to walk away from the table if he's not getting the deal that he sees that's best for america first an american centrist and that is very new to the american public but it's also a new to international diplomacy and so right now what we're seeing is innovation taking place in that process really interesting to get your point of view on this all of them again thank you very much indeed thank you for having me tonight. well there be celebrations in ireland after exit polls suggested a majority voted to ease the country's strict abortion laws.

they projected a landslide victory for the yes side with sixty eight percent in favor of repealing an article of the constitution known as the eighth amendment official results are expected on saturday afternoon if the yes vote is confirmed the irish government aims to introduce legislation allowing abortions within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. i just think it's really great news is really. going to change a lot of a lot of things if it looks like it is this is i know i should be. you know somebody or night i was ecstatic because it was such a it could have been such a close call and i think a lot of us were expecting a no so to see about it was. it seemed to be like a pretty enthusiastic yeah it was amazing and the volcano has the latest from my historic day of voting in the capital dublin. an early exit poll by the irish

times repeated by other news agencies including reuters that puts the results as follows sixty eight percent in favor of repealing the eighth amendment of the irish constitution thirty two percent in favor of keeping it in place the early exit polls seem to indicate a landslide win for the yes vote in some areas turnout was as high as sixty percent and certain points during the day was much higher than in other previous votes including the last general election and including the last major referendum on same sex marriage back in two thousand and fifteen what we're seeing here appears to be a nation at a crossroads a nation that is prepared to embrace change a nation that is reevaluated women's rights and is prepared also to bring in changes to bring ireland more into line with the rest of the european union the official count begins at nine o'clock in the morning local time on saturday the

official results will be given out later on saturday afternoon but it does look as if the yes campaign will be the side that will influence politics and irish society going forward for many many more years to come thank you go ahead on the news hour including warnings about colombia's peace process from former foreign fighters who are part of it just a day before a presidential election. in the philippines we speak to people still living in evacuation centers a year after the siege of a southern city. and fit to fire real madrid's cold she says christiane over naldo is ready to put on another five star show in the champions league final all in sport on the showdown with liverpool. brazil's president has ordered the military to intervene in the nationwide truck

process goes beyond land distribution and economic aid just as importantly the government vow to guarantee the safety of the demobilize rebels instead they are now sitting ducks with no protection. this area was once undisputed far territory controlled by the rebels six front. its former commander. says that in the last few months at least seven of his men have been murdered. we wanted to abandon wall but there are many sectors that want to push us back because the territory that was under our control is now in the hands of many different groups. one of them is a new rearmed version of the e.p.l. the people's liberation army which recently put out this video showing off its new weapons and falling to. hunt down fark members. the leader of the indigenous community tells us that the e.p.l.

protest 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. the u.s. house of representatives has approved a measure requiring the pentagon to investigate whether american troops tortured detainees in yemen hundreds of men reportedly gone missing in the south of the
