champion novak djokovic when the french open as he continues his return from injury that in malaysia his new job. to be talked about for days north korean leader kim jong un's top aide heading to the u.s. for talks kim yong has finally arrived he touched down in new york in the last few hours making the most senior north korean official to visit us in eighteen years our diplomatic editor james bays is in new york for a sort of excitement around this meeting what's on the agenda after this visit. well he arrived here general kim about two hours ago at the hotel behind me which is very close to u.n. headquarters and very conveniently close for him to the north korean mission to the united nations north korea doesn't have to plastic relations with the u.s. but clearly it has diplomats here working at the u.n.

and that may well have been one of the reasons the north koreans wanted the meeting here in new york where they have that support and where they have a place where they can have secure communications with pyongyang about a less than a mile away from here further north in new york city we're expecting in the next few minutes. to arrive at his luxury hotel and then in about two hours from now we understand that the two will be face to face over dinner to begin with and then further discussions taking place on thursday further meetings planned and what is what has been saying that the prospects for this summit. well sarah saunders who is the white house press secretary has been talking about this and not really giving us a great deal more information on this on the off summit remember the president trump council the summit said no we're not going ahead they are now planning for it to take place on the original date let me just tell you what she said she said. we

are preparing an expected to take place on june the twelfth but then she said will be ready if it does happen on june the twelfth and if not be ready to take place if it takes place on on july the twelfth so i'm just looking for a little bit of excitement here he just walked past us general kim and he's on his way right now from the hotel here on his way i assume because it's literally only about ninety seconds walk to the north korean mission he's heading up the sidewalk i can still see him and he's trailed by a lot of south korean and japanese camera crews and games there on the. issue of where they go from here is what can they be discussing with mike compare that there will kind of lead to whether the summit goes ahead or doesn't i mean is it there is it the big issue of denuclearize initiation is that is that your understanding of what there is on the table today. that's the big issue from the side of the u.s.

denuclearization and exactly what they mean about it and are the north koreans really prepared to give up all of their nuclear weapons remember the u.s. will want to know exactly what north korea has clearly the cia has a pretty good idea but north korea has a pretty extensive nuclear program and they want to come totally clean about what they have remember the u.s. position up until now has been that they want what we call c.v. complete verifier of all irreversible demitra zation and present troubles made it clear they want it to happen bearing on day one that the singapore summit or the north koreans have a different view on that of course from the north korean side is they want to make sure that they have a guarantee if we give up our nuclear weapons then what is our guarantee of future safety they want some sort of normal aggression pact one would assume from the us came space thank you very much indeed. russian journalist and fierce critic of the kremlin who thought it was thought to have been murdered in kiev has turned up

alive at a news conference. revealed his apparent death had been a setup to catch a would be assassin were a chance reports from moscow. back from the dead russian journalist. and to a press conference in kiev to a poor house off the most of the world thought he'd been shot dead his murder had been faked a sting operation by ukraine secret service to apparently catch his would be killers apologize to all those who've been kept in the dark including his wife. she i'd like to ask you to excuse me for all that happened in the past because i have attended funerals for colleagues and friends many times and i know this feeling when you have to bury colleagues sorry for this unfortunately there were no other ways flowers had been left outside of home where late on tuesday evening the journalist was reportedly found with fatal gunshot wounds to the back tributes and

obituaries mourned his death. as the secret was revealed to live on t.v. colleagues at the channel where he reacted with joy and tears of relief. russia has denied any role in the story and accused kiev of using it as propaganda but russia has where ukraine security chiefs allege the murder prosser ridge native . fled his home country last year after a career as an anti putin voice culminated in a state backed media campaign against him none of the. we reported that in order to fulfill the cynical plan special services of the russian federation recruited a ukrainian citizen the first letter of his name is g. he was commissioned to find perpetrators of this brutal murder for financial reward in order to fulfill the assignment from the russian special services citizen g offered his acquaintance to commit a terrorist act into murder russian journalist. for thirty thousand dollars.

ukraine's secret service the s.b.u. showed video allegedly of this citizen g.v. in arrested on kiev streets and they say that wasn't the only one in danger thirty more people were being targeted for journalists working in the russian speaking world there is power people relief that someone that they have been mourning is actually alive but among some there is also concern concern that in the post truth an era of fake news a security operation like this as spectacular as it may be might further degrades trust in the long run reach out and al-jazeera moscow joining me from washington d.c. makowski is a senior fellow at the eurasia sent to counsel think tank thanks for being with us so what do you make of this bizarre story what would you think about it you know this is a bizarre tale of two stories obviously you have the ukrainian view which showcases

that the kremlin targeted another kremlin opponent inside ukraine and of course that opponent was someone who was critical of the kremlin and they felt that they had to go to the measures of essentially showcasing an assassination it's a spectacular story on the other side you have a kremlin and the russian view which is that this is all manufacture in and it is done to discredit the kremlin i think evidence is going to showcase one side or the other the issue of course this is not the first person that russia has targeted beyond its own borders but do you think that the tactic of staging a fake killing like this might end up backfiring on ukraine. i don't know if you still hear me marks makowski but do you think this tactic might actually backfire. that appears we've lost simak of ski there apologies for that but a grim in the system

truckers went on strike and were asking some of the same questions as us so we decided to strike not only to support them but to oppose the possible privatization of petro boss. this seventy two hour stoppage was declared illegal by the government the strikes have also seen shares in the national all company petrol brass the majority of which is government oh and lose fifteen percent of their value the traffic is flowing again deliveries are being made a few head out and this is only a temporary reprieve prices remain high and the popularity of the government is at an all time low while the majority of brazilians continue to support the strikers that's a recipe for further protests. president says brazil is emerging from recession but few are seeing the benefits of this reported to surgeons and many brazilians are disillusioned with the whole political establishment with politicians from all parties implicated in a number of corruption scandals in the next president will inherit

a country with an enormous deficit and major problems enduring its economic recovery it will be hard to prove unpopular reforms that are necessary for this country. presidential elections a jew in october is not running the one time favorite some former president lula da silva is in prison and no other candidate to so far emerged to lead brazil to the to mulch it was time. that many here feel i hate and try not to see it or sell paolo. it is new prime minister designate has suggested he's close to a last minute deal that will end months of political turmoil carol quarterly has been tasked with calming tensions and potentially planning in your election earlier efforts by two n.t. establishment parties to form a coalition government collapsed and even barbara has the day she's from rome well on wednesday expectations swung from believing that carlo quarterly would actually present a list of potential cabinet members to the president's surge

a matter or two rumors that those so-called populist parties five star and the league were now back in discussions and in fact the entourage of mystical to really himself saying that he was waiting to see whether that was going to be a run or a new government proposed by those parties now luigi dimaio soon after that on a video live streamed on facebook said he could envisage some sort of compromise perhaps suggesting a different economy minister but the leader of the league matteo salvini while he didn't react directly has been sticking to his guns saying that that must be the government otherwise there should be elections as soon as possible he stands to gain the lead have surged up to around twenty five percent in the latest opinion polls five star steady on around thirty percent so it's possible if there were fresh elections that they could be the biggest two groups but whether they'll be prepared to work together again is not certain right now we don't know if it's

really will go back to the polls or who will lead its next government. eisel fighters have attacked the afghan interior ministry headquarters in the capital kabul police say a car bomb was detonated at the entrance and then several attackers managed to get inside the compound is the latest in a series of attacks tied to deteriorating security situation jennifer glass says more from. the explosions and gunfire went on for about two hours as fighters attacked the interior ministry a suicide attacker detonated his explosive at the entrance of the interior ministry and wounded two people right after the blast i saw other attackers who had military uniforms getting out from an armored vehicle security personnel responded quickly the compound is heavily fortified and guarded it moved to the site last year so that it could be better protected and away from civilians but they were still in the line of fire. a rocket propelled grenade hit me where we were standing we escaped to the other sort of the road but some people were wounded then the police

took us out of here the attackers were also dressed like police. this is the latest in a series of high profile attacks in kabul that have killed hundreds of people since the beginning of the year in logar province in eastern afghanistan the taliban continued its so-called spring offensive with a suicide attack on a police station killing three officers the attackers were also killed. the taleban took over dusty kolob district in takar province northeastern afghanistan continuing a string of offensives that are keeping the afghan military busy the telephone is gaining ground despite a doubling of u.s. airstrikes the u.s. military says it killed fifty taliban leaders in bombings in helmand last week the taliban says this is propaganda and that only civilians are killed jennifer glass al jazeera kabul. let's return to our top story now kim yong cho the north korean official who's arrived in the u.s. for talks want to get closer look now at the significance of his visit with a four star general is

a diplomatic heavyweight known as one of the most powerful people in north korea he's played a central role in the recent foreign relations between north and south korea as well as the united states he's a former spy chief and spent nearly thirty years as a senior member of the intelligence community and most importantly he's a trusted advisor to the north korean leader kim jong un and was also a bodyguard to his late father kim jong il joining me from washington d.c. is erik goodness he's a policy analyst for defense and foreign policy studies at the cato institute thanks so much for being with us a little bit of the background there on him what's your view of him as a figure and why his visit is so significant. well i think the fact that they're sending someone as high ranking as troll indicates that north korea does want the summit to continue they are serious about going forward and i think that it's also interesting that he's going to be meeting with secretary of state mike pompei o who

is also a former head of the cia in the united states so you have two very high ranking former intelligence officials playing a very central role in this negotiation even though it's no longer their primary position and it does seem from the the noises coming from the white house the latest they say is that they they do think they could still go ahead on the twelfth of june is that enough time to think to an actual difference is that is still there . no i don't think so i think trying to hit the june twelfth target it's going to be very difficult to resolve all of the differences in expectations and differences in just positions going into the meeting and we really saw those differences getting aired over the last couple of weeks and i'm sure that both sides are going to make a concerted effort to try and smooth things over before trump and can meet but i'm not sure that the two weeks or so is going to be enough time to adequately resolve those issues before the summit happens and in that case if there is

a summit and they haven't on doubt particular issues what constitutes a success do you think just having a meeting at or would you think it needs to be more than that. well i think that as the summit can go ahead and they can get some sort of agreement to just keep the diplomatic process alive i think that is the best hope for at this moment i don't think there's going to be any kind of sweeping arrangement or agreement coming out of either side but if they can say that you know that they've met with one another that they've laid out what their positions are and that they can keep working towards broader goals very similar to the outcome of the inner korean summit in late april i think that would be a reasonable success is that there would that be an acceptance on the trump side that they actually have to move to a gradual position which is something they originally didn't want to deal with that kind of gradually gradually adding on lez is not something that trump seems to like because it. right because it's something that takes

a very long time to produce results and i think that trump is more in favor of something that's relatively short something that he can accomplish in the next two years or even if he were to win re-election the next six but i think that if trump wants to get to denuclearization i believe that denuclearization is ultimately a possible it's going to require a very long term process that changes the very structure of u.s. south for us north korean relations and the relationship dynamics in the region in general so i i think it's going to have to take a while thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and subject thank you thousands of rivendell women who say they were raped when they fled a crackdown in manaus rakhine state last year due to give birth although seven hundred thousand range of muslims have sought refuge in neighboring bangladesh and now lives in squalid and overcrowded refugee camps around home to report. fatima

fields covering the united nations and global diplomacy for al-jazeera english is pretty incredible this is where talks end and what happens here matters. from one of the top stories here on. the north korean leaders right hand man has arrived in the u.s. for talks with state might compare the white house says early meetings about next month's summit between kim and president have been positive and it's still expected to take place. a russian journalist who was reportedly shot dead in the ukrainian capital is alive but at

seems when it comes to the middle east is their frustration in their inability to get anything done on this complicated issue the u.s. had called this emergency meeting hoping to get a statement condemning rocket attacks out of gaza into israel and a lot of council members did in fact condemn those attacks in their speech but while the united states put all of the blame for those attacks and the violence in the region on the palestinian leadership others on the council talked about the situation of the palestinians in the desperate situation the palestinians and how that is really contributing to tension and violence they are the lack of electricity the lack of water the lack of jobs the limited access restrictions on movement that the palestinians have kuwait for its part blocked the u.s. statement condemning the rocket attacks it is calling for an international protection force to ensure the safety of palestinians it blocked the statement

here's how the united states responded the people of gaza do not need protection from an external source the people of gaza need protection from hamas it is the actions of hamas that are putting gaza and in grave danger hamas is indiscriminate attacks against israel inevitably bring a response with the model. just as long as this occupation continues the palestinian people have a legitimate right to fight it and to defend their aspirations and their dream to independence and a dignified and free life that's of course is there any hope that the security council will do something anything to help the situation. well the kuwaitis are still working on a draft resolution that would establish some sort of international protection force but it's not expected to get the support of the united states who has veto power

they've made a lot of concessions already calling on the secretary general to come up with recommendations for a way to protect the security of the palestinians but at this point it doesn't look like they have the support to pass it or they're trying to it looks like they're trying to get the united states isolated to get enough support for a majority of votes and isolate the united states it's not clear at this point if that's going to happen the u.n. for its part has laid out some steps to try to calm the situation humanitarian relief restarting the egyptian reconciliation process. but at this stage that seems about all that is on the horizon in terms of the situation there we did get a message from the u.n. special coordinator directly to the gazans which is a bit unusual calling for calm he addressed them directly saying we hear your plight and suffering and we will do all that we can to ensure that you have a future beyond mere survival how they can do that remains unclear at this time but certainly a lot of attention and

a lot of concern from the international community if not direct action kristensen amy thank you very much indeed. french police have dismantled the largest makeshift camp for refugees and migrants in paris the millionaire settlement houses around one and a half thousand people recently to migrants drowned in one of the canals along the cap report. french police began clearing the camp in paris early on wednesday refugees mainly from eritrea somalia and sudan left with the few possessions they had they were taken to shelters around the city more than one thousand five hundred people had been living in poor conditions with no sanitation and little food exhausted most were relieved to be going through judith. it's been hard here it's dirty there's no toilet no shower to wash for more than three days i haven't had a shower sometimes they sometimes they don't it's like that. this is

a never ending situation because of dublin italians have the migrants fingerprints but they don't hand out any papers the migrants end up in the street they come to france where they apply for asylum but then they are sent back to italy they come back here again and end up in the street earlier this month to migrants drowned in the canal the incidence highlighted the already desperate situation the mayor of paris says she's repeatedly urged the government to help but you've got nothing here and i think we could have avoided waiting for months to find shelter for these people the suggestion i made to the state was to build a welcome seemed like the one we used to have that put out the only option possible for one to avoid these camps that have been thirty five clarence's of camps like this across paris in the last three years but this is the first one since the government passed its new immigration law it says the law will help genuine asylum seekers but it wants it to crack down on so-called economic migrants.

they will be sheltered but in return as the. government and the president clearly said they will be tracked and their situations will be verified. at the shelters some migrants rested while french officials checked people's identities the government hopes its new immigration law will reduce the number of migrants coming to france but for now it seems that there is no end to those who arrive hoping for a better future especially bobsleigh al-jazeera paris a prominent human rights activist and blogger from the united arab emirates has been sentenced to ten years in prison legal sources say a man months or was found guilty of slander against the u.a.e. he'd been held for more than a year before his trial began in abu dhabi last month months or was arrested on suspicion of using social media to publish false information and spread hatred and sectarianism for the first time in nearly forty years in bob will hold an election

administration and called on the us to implement the spirit of their most recent joint statement on china's commercial ministry is of course referring to a preliminary deal reached between the two sides not too long ago in which the u.s. had agreed to delay imposition of tariffs on chinese goods in exchange for china agreeing to significantly increase purchases of u.s. farm goods and energy products but this latest announcement from the u.s. government is of course a reversal of that deal and it comes just days before u.s. representatives are due to arrive in beijing to continue trade talks and some analysts have said that this latest announcement by the u.s. government is intended perhaps to strengthen u.s. hand in those negotiations and to signal that gloves are coming off in those traits faults and other analysts have said that this perhaps is a move to appease u.s. politicians. you see just last week the trumpet ministration had made and not the

reversal it lifted a seven year ban but it had imposed just earlier in may on chinese telecoms giant corp from buying u.s. components now it lifted the ban after china complained that the bag would put the company out of business this is a company that has already been fined by the u.s. for selling high tech components to north korea and iran in violation of u.s. sanctions china's reaction you can say has been quite mild if not reiterated threats to impose retaliate carrots but they seem to have taken a fly take at trumpet ministration and its propensity to flip flop on decisions saying they're surprised by the same time the decision is somewhat expected. more than one point two billion children are being robbed of their childhoods according to a new report by save the children a small hof of all the children in the world the report says three key factors are

to blame for this conflict poverty or discrimination against girls most a hundred fifty three million children are living in twenty countries affected by all three threats these include somalia yemen afghanistan and south sudan. have all been reports from juba. fifteen year old mary kay then has only one dream to go to school and get a degree so when her family told her she will be married off so they can get money she ran away to an orphanage. and. my brother said they wanted to sell me because they wanted money for food i told them i wanted to study but they said they didn't want me to go to school that girls don't go to school. mary says her family wouldn't have thought of marrying her off were it not for south sudan's dire economic situation a direct result of five years of civil war the rate of early marriage for girls here has risen from forty eight per cent to fifty two in recent years. the worst

parted in twenty thirty when president salva kiir accused his former deputy rick machar of attempting a coup tens of thousands have been killed and a third of the twelve million population displaced sixty percent of them children according to the un but even children who haven't been displaced have not been spared the consequences of the world trade organization say along with early marriages many children are turning to the three south sudan where has also resulted in a high number of young girls getting pregnant at more kids being recruited to fight in the conflict. like twelve year old bad thing who says the economic crisis has meant he has to wash cars on the streets. there's nobody so i can't go to school so i wash cars if i get some money i take it home so my mother can feed my brothers. save the children as young people in south sudan face a difficult future. and there's like three of recent either the major like threats
