4:02 pm
korea has brilliant potential and will one day be a great economic and financial nation and thomas has more from seoul. do you think an unprecedented potential summit between the u.s. president and the leader of north korea that's on probably now on again would be old people here in seoul would be talking about after all it's people here close to the border with north korea who have the potential to be profoundly affected by that summits outcome and yet talk to people here and that's not what they're talking about informal like a pop band p.t.'s a boy band that particularly well in the u.s. and u.k. music charts until they know there is an outcome the summit happens and there is something solid to show for it i really want to talk about it to the world you've got diplomats from the u.s. and north korea now in singapore to hold talks about the logistics and security arrangements for any june twelfth summit and inside north korea a u.s.
4:03 pm
delegation meeting with the north korean counterparts to talk about your gender for any summit so the diplomacy is going on at a burnett's price but frankly here in so you wouldn't know it. was very and kimberly how could she is in washington d.c. and i'm wondering what the reaction is there to possibly the trilateral talks and the bilateral between trump and kim. right well there has been no official government reaction as of yet but it's very early in the morning here jane and it's also a holiday weekend as the memorial day holiday weekend in the united states when many americans maybe focus more on summer kickoff grilling barbecue things like that but certainly inside washington at the diplomatic level that is not what they're focused on they're certainly focused on as has been reported over the weekend the fact that there have been movements logistics teams in the area trying to coordinate this are again off again potentially back on again summit and
4:04 pm
certainly as you pointed out the u.s. president is the one that certainly has raised the stakes with that tweet on sunday where he discussed the fact that sort of what is the the lynchpin of all of this is the offer of the united states believes that it can make in order to convince kim jong un that denuclearization is worthy and viable and that is the offer of bringing north korea out of the shadows out of global isolation financially ending those very strict sanctions that seems to be what the united states is hoping will really get things back on track tell us about the movements of the u.s. delegation to singapore and officials engaged in talks with north korea. right well some some pretty big big wheels or big guns i don't know if that's the right word what we're talking about best but. my pompei of the u.s. secretary of state has certainly put his best team on the ground and what he's done
4:05 pm
is he's moved one of his ambassadors to the philippines to this project because of his experience as a senior diplomat he is the one that he believes can handle these pre-summit talks because the other issue in all of this is not just what denuclearization looks like will of the incremental will it be immediate will it have financial incentives attached the other issue that the united states knows is of most concern to the north korean leader kim jong un is his security donald trump has given a personal security guarantee he's one he made from the oval office in recent weeks but his own team has sabotaged that somewhat when they discussed the libyan model you remember some of the comments from the national security advisor john bolton even his vice president mike pence talking about denuclearization in libya that obviously did not go well for the libyan leader moammar gadhafi led to his overthrow of eventually he was killed obviously that is in the concern of the north
4:06 pm
korean leader so the security guarantee is the other big obstacle right now that the u.s. teams are working to combat this leave it on that kimberly thank you very much. improving relations between north and south korea have led to a surge and property prices along the demilitarized zone that separates the two countries right mcbride has the story. separating two countries that are officially still a war it's been potentially one of the most dangerous buddhas in the world now the possibility of peace could transform the villages and towns on the south korean side of the demilitarized. rigi one owns five other properties around south korea and there's just joined the surge of buyers looking north making her pick right off the map dollars hang it on a usually i put it to fight before i make up my mind but i was so sure about this place i didn't have to go. she now owns

4:08 pm
and north korean officials continue to meet at the truce village of perm and jump ahead of the summit between their respective leaders the only again off again twists of the last few days are a reminder of the talks volatility still remains optimistic and you know i'm not concerned because this will remain my s.s.n. it won't go away like a fall in the stock market it's always going to be there and she hopes north-south relations are now on a permanently improved foundation robert bride al-jazeera june near the d.m.z. south korea. if there is president sergio has appointed economists color could barely to become interim prime minister it happened after market earlier vetoed prime minister designate giuseppe contest choice of a euro skeptic politician as economy minister that forced contests to give up

which between them won the most seats in the march election with forming a viable cabinet now he says that's proved a bridge too far and the sticking point the proposed economy minister paulose a former minister who's also a well known euro skeptic italy's president says would have sent a worrying message to italy's partners and to the financial markets. they love. i'm not considering the individual i don't want someone who supports an opinion which was expressed more the want and that would inevitably lead to italy's exit from the euro right. up until the last minute. leader of the right wing likud party had insisted his pick for economy minister must not be vetoed speaking live on social media late on sunday he called the president's rejection anti-democratic. said no he said there will not be a government we work for nothing we will have a technocrat government i ask of the a democracy in italy to the italian decide what are the germans offense decide it's

absolutely incredible from my point of view. salvini wants fresh elections so too does luigi demaio leader of the five star movement which got the most votes in march for the eulogy when the merchant calls it up there was over fifty percent support for two political parties parties that want to change things and want to represent the talents in their interests but in the end a way to block it is always seems to be found. political instability is a. rebels near the southern syrian province of preparing for possible offensive by government forces the area is mostly controlled by opposition groups the u.s. is warning of a strong response if government troops attack international regional powers are holding talks to try to avoid a wider conflict. from beirut. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov

saying that the syrian army should be the only force the. southern border russia making clear its position as we understand behind the scenes negotiations continue between international and regional players to find some sort of an arrangement for the future of the provinces in southern and southwestern syria. syrian government. government. saying that they have been sending troops to the front lines and dropping leaflets from government helicopters . so the syrian government making clear that next target but different from other areas because there are international players involved the united states israel jordan because of its geo strategic location jordan and israel for example they both do not want to see troops or iranian allied troops on their borders so if
4:13 pm
there is any arrangement or any deal it will definitely not involve iranian troops taking part in any battle but we understand is what they're trying to reach some sort of an arrangement whereby the rebels decide to lay down their arms and to surrender those who want to leave to the rebel controlled problems in the north west will be able to do so but state authority will return to this area jordan. and to see any escalation as well because it will create a refugee crisis it also wants to open its border crossing there which is really vital for trade so ongoing international and regional negotiations behind the scenes to try to find a solution to this corner of syria what to do in this corner of syria to avoid a military military conflict that could bring him regional powers. several prominent journalists and activists have been detained in egypt in the past week human rights groups say it's part of a systematic government campaign to silence dissenting voices

4:15 pm
opposition figures may be linked to a government measure that could anger many egyptians grappling with a weak economy and high inflation and i am unless you get if you all the government fears the consequences of steps it plans to take in july one part of the fuel and electricity subsidies will be lifted and we have seen an embarrassing rehearsal when the government increased the metra tickets and people broke their fear and express their anger. reporters without borders calls egypt one of the world's biggest prisons for journalists at least thirty four are behind bars including al jazeera journalist mahmud hussein. since sisi led the coalition that removed the democratically elected president mohamed morsy from power in two thousand and thirteen human rights groups say the government has waged a systematic campaign of crushing criticism one voice at a time. supporters say tough security policies are needed to bring
4:16 pm
stability especially as the government fights armed groups in the sinai peninsula and journalists and bloggers know that this isn't difficult environment in egypt but nonetheless even today people are tweeting people will continue to speak out but with few independent media outlets left and many journalists and activists jailed people have no choice but to hear the government's message very clearly natasha going to zero. head on the news including more on the deadly virus spread by fruit bats that's gripped parts of canada. look at a new attempt to bring libya's political rivals together and restore peace and sport abroad james does it again dating his team to the n.b.a. finals that story coming up later in the.

people in colombia will be heading back to the polls after none of the presidential candidates got fifty percent of the vote they'll be choosing between a critic of the government's twenty sixteen peace deal with fog rebels and a former congressman who supports that agreement the runoff will be held in three weeks to make it a tennessean human reports from bogota the conservative candidates came in a head in the first round with thirty nine percent of the votes supported by colombians who want to modify a historic peace accord the stunt doubles which many see as a reward for terrorists or just because i am sure hope the seeds closs hatred. but he'll be facing his political end to sis former bogota mayor gustava who in his use was a left wing urban guerrilla and follow him up from school and this is what we're going to talk about at the ballot boxes in fifteen days it's
4:18 pm
a return to violence or it's building an era of peace memo. to supporters believe he can deliver on the promise of health education and social justice for millions of disenfranchised colombians in what is one of the world's most socially an equal countries get you out of that if you help the old the mothers like me who needed help i always had his support when he was mayor i trust and believe in hand. in order to win throughout it all seems to. be this. which is that we have not brought all kinds of opponents cornhill turn colombia into a new than israela or cuba he is deeply distrusted by the political and economical stablish meant. but do get to raises concerns among moderates. i have no doubt that if he wins he'll extradite the fark leaders and the peace process the same thing that happened in the middle east. after agreements were violated will
4:19 pm
happen here what so what's clear is that colombians will be going to the polls again june is between two radically different options for their future better. looking to see in human i just see that what that. johnson is a senior analyst for the international crisis group he says tampering with the fox peace agreement may discourage other rebel groups from disarming the island specifically extreme or to be a very close eye on this whole process not only on the elections but on the implementation of park agreement in general so any failings or any changes or any sort of intentional. lack of will to implement a peace agreement or attentional attempt to change it would actually send a signal to the element of the colombian government not very trustworthy negotiators are there's a chance without a doubt if we get a president they can stop at the door someone who at least is willing to say that they won't change the peace here and i think those divisions will end up actually
4:20 pm
getting in these groups will come together a bit more because there's someone who may feel they can trust but i still think violence is not completely off the table in colombia's future unfortunately right now we have various foreign dissident groups operating in different parts of the country that you know but because the peace negotiation simply is not as sure and as bad has made little progress in the time that it's been taking place is still operate pretty militarily and so are different drug trafficking organizations throughout the country. the leader of northern ireland's shin fein party says the region is being left behind on rights based issues michel and neil spoke after a landslide vote in favor of repealing the republic of ireland's constitutional ban on abortion new legislation should be in place by the end of the year the result south of the border has shifted the focus to northern ireland's strict abortion laws. i think ireland itself has changed considerably if you look at where we were

of scenario now the main concern at the moment in terms of any potential flooding risk is down across the far south of the u.s. as a florida panhandle through into alabama they could see another two hundred millimeters of rain the winds are going to be an issue we're one hundred kilometers per hour in the greater scheme of things is not that much yes it will be very windy but it is the rain which could cause some quite extensive flooding and there are bounds extending all around this system we saw the pictures from cuba but we could find further heavy rain extending up to other parts of the u.s. east coast thank you richard still ahead on al-jazeera greeks question the price they paid for the largest financial bailout in history plus. we have. a lot of reflecting the. this place is a terrific. stopping guns for paint brushes us war veterans turned to to deal with the trauma of conflict. and in sport this time wimbledon champion survives a tough challenge in the opening round of the french open.

4:33 pm
theory is the economy and so italy's founding member of the european union and the president couldn't accept the to a point in minister with these characteristics and saw he tried to find a compromise by the two parties to diffuse the compromise and they d.n.d. he was obliged to refuse to form the new government and our point there mr quote that early as the new prime minister how much of what is going on is a fight against the far right movement. well of course he is coming from a long period of stagnating economy now the economy is increasing the growth is there even if it's not so high and the population in the population of.
4:34 pm
some. people who of course these agree with the economic policies of the former governments but to the point here is that. the top. five star movements movements are a collective forty nine percent of the of the vaulter but. participation to the vote was amounted to sixty four percent so at the end the population always in favor of them amounts to around thirty percent of the top italians so it's not true the day re present the population as they see but today are a minority in the country of course they have the majority in the parliament but the basis. of their. policies.
4:35 pm
are not agreed by the majority of italians well what's amazing is doing this is what's trending sorry you know from italy itself is rather sort of professional message that we're getting from there their lack of clarity what sort of impact is it having on the country sorry i didn't hear the news running about the clarity coming from the government or what we seeing in the calls for impeachment sort of impact is it having on the country. of the lack of clarity. well. here here this situation is is it can't be that is divided because there is a part of of the of the electorate who is in favor of an exit of an exit from euro and from european union and without
4:36 pm
considering the incredible negative impact that that will have on the tally on population italian cities answer so. the reason for that is as i said before is this. they decrease in the broad income. in tallinn economy in the long period of stagnation but that this solution is not. coming out from the euro this would be a disaster for italy and the next. election answer whatever. we will be in ought to next start on on or in. next spring. the next election will be a sort of confrontation from between brawl euro and against the
4:37 pm
euro parties but i am confident of that to add d.m. there as happened in greece the italian cities and we recognize that there are advantages of stay in the euro are much important that the advantages of coming out of the euro are chemical thank you very much. a group of rango refugees has been imprisoned for trying to return to a current state in man ma the government says the refugees didn't follow the repatriation process these fifty eight of them have since been released and sent to camps for internally displaced people nearly seven hundred thousand fled to bangladesh since min miles army launched a crackdown last august. greece's economic crisis might be over but life is still difficult for many people received the largest sovereign loan in history to prevent bankruptcy but workers also received a large pay cut they've seen their incomes for by fifteen percent during the eight

4:39 pm
dollars a month before tax but experts say the salary cuts won't affective in the absence of other reforms. while salary cuts should have led to a cut in the prices of products and services they didn't because product markets are to a great extent monopolies are all the companies we have a large number of multinationals operating in this country which didn't lower the cost of their products they benefited from the salary cuts but they didn't become more competitive. half of all new jobs are part time or seasonal and that still leaves twenty percent of workers unemployed around a million greeks and there is so much underemployment the labor institute greece's leading employment think tank says the real jobless total is closer to twenty seven percent but the worst effect of the crisis. loss of income the dramatic drop in incomes has created a class of working poor the risk of poverty has doubled during the crisis to thirty five percent of the population that's

4:41 pm
tried raising tariffs on their own but all backed down after threats from washington i think on such as a nairobi based investment advisor and chief executive at rich management he says africa's become a dumping ground for cheap goods from other countries. if we're going to develop our industries we simply cannot compete against this deluge of cheap clothes i think president got me is one individual who's not going to be rolled over in this particular situation and he's going to make a stand and this is an attempt by africa to get leverage on the value chain it's an attempt to develop industry it's an attempt to industrialize and essentially you know we've seen all our industries hollowed out one of the classic examples is actually textile manufacturing which is now being addressed in east africa and i think it's important that we look at things holistically and if we're going to look at it holistically we can't talk about the industrialization of africa on one hand
4:42 pm
and then be dumping africa with all kinds of of goods and in this case in the case of used clothes so i think he has to stand he is the president of the african union and absolutely we got to draw a line in the sand somewhere and this is the right line to be drawn i think we have a very transactional government in the u.s. they're looking at it entirely through the prism of of u.s. national interest the definition of which is quite strange at times it seems extremely transactional i don't think trump looks at the continent in the same way previous administrations did and previous administrations were trying to lend a helping hand we're trying to create jobs within the continent that was the silver bullet that i go it was meant to be all about we've got enormous demographics and people call it a demographic dividend but it's not going to be a demographic dividend in less we create jobs and what we have seen is in tech
