right wing mentor duke is a staunch critic of the two thousand and sixteen peace accord reached with colombia's far gravels which many complain was too soft he told al-jazeera he would start by making a fundamental change she could emotional much more of course on this that we want the leaders responsible for crimes against humanity to be obliged to tell the truth about what they did to compensate the victims and to go to prison. no stronger part of the big. but that wasn't the original deal and many fear changing it could reignite a war that lasted for more than fifty years. on the opposite extreme of the ideological divide is former bogota mary. colombia's first truly competitive left wing presidential candidate. he says maintaining peace and promoting social justice are his priorities through his feared by the business sector and others who predict he'd turn colombia into another venezuela. the problem with petro is that
7:03 pm
governability would be very complicated he would clash with the establishment but do colombia's passed with war and the implementation of the peace accords. but there are other options including with the us moderate former mer said she had of the and center right wing former vice president hit man by the us polls indicate neither is likely to make it to an expected runoff but then lately polls have been wrong but this is colombia's first presidential election since the fark laid down its weapons but the army is nevertheless being deployed nationwide to guarantee security here and they're not expecting any trouble but that's not the case in other parts of the country where there are still rebel groups at large. colombians have several choices the question is whether or not they will choose a new president who will stay on the current course of peace and joins us live now
7:04 pm
and making the point that there are some concerns that this election could lead to the on rambling of that historic peace deal with the rebels just remind us what's at stake here. well exactly the this peace deal silenced the guns at least. at least of colombia's largest rebel group fifty years as i was saying earlier of war has stopped at least with the fark but there are a group of fark dissident groups that are out there they're still armed there's the lend it was the second largest group which has not reached a peace agreement yet with this country plus a new group that's coming out and filling the void the vacuum if you like that the far left in the territories that it once controlled particularly in the drug trafficking regions of this country so it's very important for this agreement to stick otherwise there may not be anymore and colombians for example they have been
7:05 pm
boasting that for the first time in history there have been lots of tourism it's becoming a major industry that's thanks to the peace accord what will happen if the agreement falls apart with for example the victory of don't get then you could imagine then that a lot of these guerrillas will go back to war and so people are saying that this is really not a brilliant agreement that there are a lot of things that are wrong with it but it was the best agreement that could be reached and that's really what's at stake here. and you see. how unpredictable an election could this be. well it could be very unpredictable it's actually turning out to be very exciting it seemed for a while that it was going to be between. the protege of the former president even very very conservative he's the biggest critic of the peace agreement but then there are others besides in the last few days for example the former mayor of made
7:06 pm
the yin. who is also a man who's calling for reconciliation and respect for the peace agreement as it stands he's been really going up in the polls so i wouldn't dare right now to predict who is going to come out ahead but what i can tell you is. that will stab a battle who was running has been running second in the polls has indicated that he believes that there could be fraud in this election so things may not be quite as the results may not be as accepted as one would have imagined in and certainly as they have been in other elections thank you very much and they're involved with all our coverage of the election in colombia. south korea's president says north korea is committed to denuclearization and that its leader kim jong un is looking forward to meeting donald trump has been giving
7:07 pm
details on exactly what was discussed during his surprise meeting with kim on saturday andrew thomas reports from seoul. the surprise summit the second meeting in a month between moon j. and kim jong un was arranged just hours in advance it was held in secret this footage she was released only afterwards by the two governments. north korea's with excited commentary attached. so. what's clear is that the sudden into korean summit was a direct response to donald trump's letter canceling the june twelfth north korea u.s. summit the leaders of both koreas want that back on littlejohn's on we have agreed that the jute hope summit should be held successfully and that our journey to the korean peninsula is denuclearization and perpetual peace should not be halted president said kim jong un once again committed to denuclearize ation and that he had told him that president trump in return would end hostile relations and
7:08 pm
cooperate economically. this was not a meeting president trump was told about in advance but in washington today he hinted he could yet be traveling to singapore a lot of people are working on it it's moving along very nicely so we're looking at june twelfth in singapore that hasn't changed. and it's more along pretty well analysts the splits on who's driving the agenda donald trump is seen as a person who can start a war and the last say forty eight hours to get maybe more of the fear that the moment thompson is strange is going to cancel the summit and then this if you lead to a new escalation of tensions and probably of what if this year has been decisive others think it's kim in the driving seat they think his commitment to denuclearize ation means u.s. withdrawal from the region to not unilateral north korean disarmament in exchange
7:09 pm
for the lifting of sanctions i think it's the north koreans driven disengagement consolidators to teach nuclear deterrence they've decided that they can push forward under those reasons not only with the united states but also south korea and reengage with china they have a clear pathway forward whoever is driving the june twelfth singapore summit is looking a lot more likely than it was it seems like longer but it was only three days ago that the u.s. the north korean summit was suddenly called off since then we've been on what some have called a diplomatic rollercoaster but rollercoasters run along tracks someone designs them plans the twists and turns this ride is altogether different and a lot more serious other thomas al-jazeera itself. an hour of ports that u.s. officials have crossed into north korea to discuss the details of the june twelfth summit let's get more on this from like his life in washington like does this mean that the summit is definitely going ahead. well not necessarily at this particular
7:10 pm
point but it is a significant step forward because the u.s. delegation that is holding talks at present is is reported are talking about the substance of what would be discussed should such negotiations actually take place on june the twelfth or indeed some other date now that u.s. delegation is headed by the present ambassador to the philippines but a former ambassador to south korea soon king he was accompanied by the ranking korean expert in the national security council allison hooker significantly they will be meeting with the depicts the north korean foreign minister. hugh and what is important here is that she has been involved in negotiations before with some king these were negotiations during the so-called six party talks so you've got people from each of the sides talking to each other who do have a history of the go see ocean who do have a history of dealing with the ongoing north korean crisis and clearly there are
7:11 pm
people who very much want is meeting to take place and seen a flurry of activity from the south koreans with in having staked a lot on it but are there also critics particularly there in the white house in terms of the logistics and the kind of late stage planning of an easing of this magnitude. well it is a very late stage indeed if these talks are going to take place in june the twelfth a logistical team from the white house is on its way to north korea to south korea to actually plan the logistics are they basically the advance party for the president trump entourage but the problems within this process have been intense let's just take one that the there has been no ambassador to south korea throughout trump's administration the finally president has nominated a valuable admiral to actually take the post but he will not be in place by time
7:12 pm
the time these negotiations take place if they do take place in june in addition of course you've got a new secretary of state mike pompei oh he has been to south korea for talks secret talks were held but at the same time he has little experience in terms of this type of negotiation it's a kind of negotiation that has a history to it goes back decades in terms of dealing with the ongoing problems with north korea now that is something that the trumpet ministration largely lacks it does not have sufficient time it would appear to get its strategy fully worked out and it appears that president trump is insisting on actually shooting from the hip so to speak he's willing to go into negotiations probably without proper preparation all right thank you very much mike hanna bringing us all the latest from washington two boats will leave gaza this week with palestinians who need urgent hospital care they will try to break a blockade imposed by israel which has prevented medical supplies from getting into
7:13 pm
the territory and patients from leaving hospitals have been struggling to treat thousands of palestinians have been wounded by israeli bullets cheering recent protests but it's myth or ports. gaza is blockaded by israel on all sides sea included but this week two boats loaded with patients who need hospital treatment and students with university places will try to breach israel's sea blockade which begins sixteen kilometers out in the mediterranean that passengers have a strong determination to break this siege whatever the circumstances whatever the challenges whatever the obstacles that would have been that would be imposed by the israeli side gaza's hospitals are full of patients who need urgent medical treatment there are those injured in two months of protests and longer term cases at least now i have sixty five of them already admitted those who would want to go in the marshal for turn but there are many other cases of cancer in open heart
7:14 pm
surgeries and many other complicate newer surgical cases all the big cases all of them need to travel abroad because of shortage of persil it is induced by the israeli blockade in gaza strip and why can't they travel abroad because the bulk of our seed must of time and these patients should probably one time he can say to a patient why when cancer come back up to three months of it he will deteriorate and you have too much complication they cannot wait lifelong waiting for the spot adopting. the posts that will be used to being kept hidden organizers fear israel will try to destroy them before they leave the port and reality the boats are not going to get any further than israel's maritime blockade which is as tightly and harshly enforced as the land blockade but at least those on the boats will highlight again the open prison like conditions that there are here in gaza that prevent almost anyone from leaving burnitz with al-jazeera gaza. still ahead for you on the program and immigration and a new and anti muslim germany's far right on the march in berlin.

7:23 pm
you're hearing paranoid race extended phobic anti semitic remarks and you know hearing them in little rallies on the streets of live this is a problem that's going to be causing ructions within the grand coalition the social democrats want to keep a liberal attitude towards refugees but those parties trying to tighten up the borders restrict immigration two hundred thousand a year so that's causing. attention he would in a grand coalition. we're going to see more seeds like this and we're going to hear more from the old germany because now essentially they see this growing maybe the demographics supported from the east blue collar workers the unemployed and the older people in the east in germany who fear their communities are being changed forever and who fear for their future so we'll see many more of these demonstrations and many aboard these confrontations. palestinian president mahmoud abbas has had his stay in hospital extended the eighty two year old was expected to
