speaker she knows this issue backwards from a north korean point of view meanwhile in singapore over the coming days they'll be u.s. delegation and a north korean delegation meeting to discuss the logistics security arrangements protocol that's all happening simle tiny asleep and if there is a summit on june the twelfth will president moon of south korea be there the blue house the presidential palace here in seoul said that though we're working on plans for president moon to be in singapore probably not the beginning of the bilateral but it goes well between president trump and kim jong un if indeed it happens and president moon montjoy in at a later stage possibly minutes hours later but in singapore as well has been crucial to getting the other two leaders together and he would like a seat at the table and our correspondent mike hanna is life as in washington d.c. so how do you see the presence of the south korean president changing the dynamic of the sun it mike. well the advantage is that it would appear that president

moon has in a short space of time struck up a very strong relationship with the north korean leader they met twice in recent days that last secret meeting on saturday evening so certainly from that point of view it may be beneficial for the talks to have president moon at the table but the quantity question to be answered is whether president trump would accept the president trump has made very clear his appreciation for president moon's role in getting this summit back together again following president trump's cancellation but president trump has made quite clear too that he is driving this process and to put it bluntly would he be willing to share the spotlight with the north the south korean leader well that's a question we'll see decided in the days ahead but certainly those planning events are going ahead in singapore that is a north korean team now on the ground obviously meeting the advance team of the

white house discussing all these matters including perhaps where the president moon will indeed have a seat at the table for either the whole meeting or come in after the north korean leader and president trump have talked and the white house has recently revealed donald trump is to meet the japanese prime minister shinzo rob a before the summit do you see that has been significant. well it is significant because. it has been deeply concerned about the whole political processes in support of that he wants to see a denuclearized area but at the same time he's expressed concern about japan's own security defense and certainly he's been speaking to president trump on a regular basis in fact president. had a conversation in the course of this day but he is it appears that he will be meeting president whether it's on the sidelines of an economic summit in quebec or whether the president are they will in fact stop off in d.c.

on his way to that summit that's something that's still to be seen the issue too though is whether the president are they want to make sure that he gets the information he needs to get to president trump before president transmits to the north korean leader should indeed that summit take place on june the twelfth and deed my kind of ally for us in washington d.c. . it elice president has appointed an interim prime minister after weeks of talks failed to produce a government and spotted political crisis carlo quarterly who is a former international monetary fund official has been tasked with passing the country's budget and planning fresh elections john how has more. political convulsions in italy beat the new prime minister designate not of political figures but a former international monetary fund official. that
