can the gulf ever be the same again the siege of caught up on a. this is al jazeera. hello welcome to the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha i'm so whole raman coming up in the next sixty minutes the process will begin on june twelfth entering a new the on again off again summit between the u.s. and north korea is back on. the u.n. security council a stinging rebuke from washington not once but twice also a new prime minister takes over in spain but faces immediate challenges. and there

are reports that saudi arabia is issuing new threats of military action against cattle. welcome to the news the june the twelfth summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un is officially back on trump made the announcement following a white house meeting with pyongyang as former spy chief general kim jung sure barely a week ago trump canceled the summit with a tweet saying the north koreans had insulted his vice president mike pence general kim delivered a handwritten letter from the north korean leader which trump described as very interesting and nice though later he said he had actually read it the singapore summit would be the first ever meeting between the u.s. and north korean leaders but the white house is playing down expectations of a quick break through in the decades long dispute over pyongyang's nuclear program

that's john mccann it's been following events for us in the american capital and mike some very positive tones in terms of the process which is very important here is rather more tangible than the actual breakthrough that president trump was hoping for. this will president trump warmth that there was no possible action following the summit saying that it was the beginning of the process so making very clear he said specifically nothing will be signed after that summit in singapore but it will be part of the process so what we're looking towards perhaps is the summit taking place some form of commitment coming from both sides perhaps and then handing over to the negotiators to start hammering out the fine print of the last thing nuclear disarmament and possible relaxation of sanctions agreement but this is what president trump had to say we're meeting with

the chairman on june twelfth and i think it's probably going to be a very successful ultimately a successful persons will soon remember what i say we will see what we will see but i think it's going to be a process that we deserve to have i mean we really deserve they they want it we think it's important and i think we would be making a big mistake if we didn't have it i think we're going to have a relationship and it'll start in june where. like positive things to take from the statements being made with the hope that sanctions could be eased despite threats of even more being implemented had the meetings or in the talks irreparably broken down. well there is obviously swords being held over each side by the other president made reference to a number of sanctions that he would be prepared to introduce should the talks fail of course north korea has that sword that it will continue with its nuclear

development program should the talks fail so there's a lot at stake here but the key issue is at what point is the u.s. going to insist on a complete commitment to what has been its bottom line in negotiations with the north koreans for a long period of time and that is complete very a fireball irreversible disarmament that is what the u.s. has been demanding now the question is whether the north koreans would accept such a bottom line or whether they want to some bilateral agreement obviously they're going to be seeking security guarantees they're going to be seeking a relaxation of sanctions but these are details that need to be ironed out in the weeks and indeed months ahead and like what we know or what we expect now in terms of the timeline of talks regarding kim myong chol while he's still in the u.s. . well it's likely that he'll continue some form of contact with

u.s. officials perhaps the secretary of state might pump air who has been his point person in the talks leading into this meeting with president trump in the course of the day but one must remember too is that he's not only the leader of north korea's right hand man he's also north korea's top negotiator he's been involved in the go ca sions in the past on nuclear issues in particular the six nation of the cia sions that lasted throughout the two thousand and told they broke apart in two thousand and nine so he will be bringing an expertise to the table and perhaps that is an expertise that he may be sharing in the days ahead should he remain for any period of time in the u.s. before going to singapore for that all important summit from when we leave it there mike thanks very much for the update. let's cross over to tim shorrock he's a veteran journalist on north korea for the news magazine the nation joins me now from washington d.c. via skype good to have you with us on the program lowering expectations seems to be

order of the day that's what many analysts seem to the analyze what was said well that's true i think it's more iran will quote the south korean president had worked out with a young man and his representatives earlier which is a step by step process towards denuclearization so i think it kind of compliances what the koreans something talking about already perhaps not meeting some of the expectations of people here in washington but now after all this is a process driven by the two koreas indeed i mean a very positive in tone the process really seems to be more important right now rather than the tangible breakthrough as far as president trump is concerned how important is that as we move forward. well i think it's very important and i think the fact is that you know he was using language today that was much much softer than it is now he's used before and and so i think you know the hope the whole situation has changed with these you know since the last week since the

negotiations got back on track after some big differences were aired you know in letters and what and social statements in the state media north korea so so i think they're back and the question is not only you know what will north korea file what the u.s. wants in terms of getting conversation but also the question is what is the u.s. willing to do in terms of the north korean concern for what they call the hostile policy of the united states and you know moving towards a kind of more normalization of ties which is something that the north korean some badly wanted for quite some time so i think there is concessions to come perhaps on both sides now really need to be looked at not just north korean concessions one of the main concessions seems to be obviously the issue of sanctions and while president trump talked about sanctions today and that he had a whole plethora ready to implement should the talks fail it's one of the you might say pivotal moments in the discussions north korea wants to have those sanctions

eased of course maybe the international community would like to see them eased if there was progress. well actually i think that north korea is of course an interest in getting the sanctions ease and lift it all together they want to move forward economically but i think there are climate ation here is to have a political relationship and normal relationship the united states and get back to the you know a situation where we're not at war anymore and i think that moving toward moving toward a peace treaty is probably the most fundamental thing that will happen in singapore and it's very possible that the south korean president moon julian may fly again due to two had to that because i think you know this is what the north koreans have wanted for some time as well as you know a peace treaty ending this war formally it would be interesting if that did happen

of course but one of the most interesting issues that we've been discussing i think globally it's been discussed is the definition of denuclearization because for the north korean regime survival is paramount while agreeing to denuclearize ation and returning back to the international fold politically intact well that's true and that i think that's why you guarantees that the u.s. might be able to offer a song or you know guarantee a north korean security present trump has been making some. has talked about this a little bit in recent days but i mean they're definitely looking for security guarantees they're not going to give out their nuclear deterrence and their missile deterrence you know without without some kind of guarantee from the united states it's not going to be attacked and that they can go forward and normalize ties you know i think that and that's partly why this is going to be a step by step process well we shall see how the process go step by step as we head

towards june the twelfth for the moment tim sean thanks so much for joining us thank you very much. thirty votes on gaza have failed at the un security council the us blocked the first resolution put forward by coate which condemned israel's use of force against palestinians and the u.s. then failed to get backing for its own resolution blaming hamas for the recent flare up of violence along the gaza israel border diplomatic editor james bays reports from the un us ambassador nikki haley came here determined to thwart a resolution drafted by kuwait that called for measures to protect the people of gaza. she tried persuasion going around other members of the security council here as she approached the ambassador of peru she could be seen mouthing the words please. a warm greeting for israel's ambassador danny down on he surely aware she also had procedural tricks up her sleeve she wanted her completely

rewritten version of the resolution classed as an amendment so it be voted on first there were heated discussions among ambassadors but this month's president of the council russia ruled against her and things only got worse for haley she pleaded with council members to support her draft resolution and reject kuwait's we strongly encourage this council to vote against coates resolution and ignalina the concerns of hamas bad voting for the us resolution each of you have a choice you either support hamas or not this vote will tell the story in the but the story that unfolded was not the one haley wanted but when kuwait's draft was put to a vote it got ten votes in favor it only didn't pass because haley had to use has.

and then the second vote on haleigh's own resolution this is where all her tactics backfired her eyes abstained others voted against and a moment of diplomatic humiliation she was the only person to vote for her resolution i don't believe that there was in the history of the united states. history of the united nations in which a country to submit a draft resolution and not to receive except one single vote of the party that did submit that draft resolution if that is not the epic of complete failure i want you to tell me what is failure in the security council to thank you. it was a bad day for ambassador haley but the real losers are the people of palestine particularly in garza with the security council divided and deadlocked there is no end to their misery in sight james pays al-jazeera at the united nations let's head

to europe now where spanish prime minister mariano rajoy has been forced from office after losing a no confidence vote and the man who brought the motion socialist party leader pedre sanchez although replace him he's promising to clamp down on corruption and help those affected by years of all starrett and roy's conservative government these barca reports from madrid. a new political dawn for spain forty six year old former economics professor pedro sanchez says now the country's new prime minister. do not is not only our guest room all in a moment i am aware of the responsibility that i assume in such a complex political moment in our country and what i can say is that apart from been totally aware of it i am going to face all our country's challenges with humility and commitment and above all with a lot of determination and my first transforming modernize our country because what the socialist party has always done when we have been in the government and

secondly to attend the urgent social matters of many people living in precarious conditions and suffering from inequality i am going to do it with consensus with humility hard work and commitment from. the head of the socialist party pushed for friday's no confidence motion one by a large margin m.p.'s from six different parties voted overwhelmingly to oust marianna will and his center right people's party from office the head of the vote apologize for his party's past mistakes along the study look at all shall be most it has been an honor to be the prime minister of spain it has been an honor to leave behind a better spain than the one that i found when i took over government i wish my substitute will be able to say the same i think i have improved the well being of the people of spain if anyone has been offended by my actions. i thank everyone especially my party without none of this would be possible thank you to all spaniards for their support and understanding and good luck to all of you and to

spain the vote follows a long running corruption scandal involving leading members of the party he became the first prime minister in office to give evidence in a trial last year. former people's party treasurer lewis was among twenty nine people convicted on corruption charges he was once a close ally. he was given a thirty three year jail sentence and fined fifty one million dollars the people's party was also ordered to pay back two hundred ninety five thousand dollars but has remained defiant accusing sanchez of political opportunism spain's new prime minister will have to unite the country frank said parliament will be the leader of a minority government and need the support of rival political parties to pass crucial legislation sanchez inherits a troubled economy and political instability over the future of catalonia where the independence movement remains strong he's also under pressure from other parties to

call new elections as soon as possible sanchez is now spain's seventh prime minister since his return to democracy in the one nine hundred seventy s. but his hold on power faces immediate challenges. al-jazeera madrid. his comeback is remarkable considering his party controls less than a quarter of the seats in parliament now he grew up in a wealthy family studying economics before working for the european parliament and the united nations he was a virtual unknown when he won the leadership of the spanish socialist party in twenty fourteen promising to unite the divided party and put it back in power instead the socialist suffered a humbling election defeat in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen and sanchez was ousted by his own party after he tried to block the vend prime minister roy's bid to form a government plunging spain into a prolonged political stalemate but thanks to strong support among the party's grassroots he returned as

a leader last year. math in theirs is an expert in spanish politics that afternoon a versity in birmingham he says there are limits to what sanchez can achieve before elections are held. it all depends about the internal arrangements of the coalition that they form though i think there's going to have to be elections relatively soon and he said is going to be a matter of months he might try to push some social reforms and social policies maybe in education things like that but i don't see major changes certainly in terms of economic policy and he might try to deal with obviously the situation in that saloon which is obviously the you know the big problem in spain right now historically the socialist party has been a little bit more supportive of a federal spain and that is the proposition of of better sunshine and socialist body they want federal spain and they're open today two years so they famously speaking the catalans should be more open to negotiation with the socialist government having said that you know the situation has been festering for so long

that it seems that anything other than independence is a no go for certain political forces in catalonia certainly the socialist party doesn't want to do that either so we'll have to wait and see if there's a little bit more of political goodwill between these two new negotiating forces but i don't see a massive change now staying in europe prosecutors in germany and her father request to extradite the deposed catalan leader karla's to spain who had more was detained on madrid's request in march over his role in catalonia failed independence bid last year and he's facing charges of rebellion and corruption if found guilty he could spend up to thirty years in prison. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news some of washington's closest allies prepare to hit back against president trump's tower. construction workers in brazil one of their demands as the head of the state oil company steps down and find out what's the joke of it all

worked up for the french open tatiana we'll have that story in school. the interim government has taken over in pakistan ahead of an election. former supreme court justice. was sworn in as the caretaker prime minister he'll be in office until the vote takes place the three main political parties are looking to convince voters that they can grow the economy and create jobs but tribal and religious loyalties will also have a major influence over the way people. has the latest from the capital islamabad the president of pakistan mr mom north jane had led many of the old to the chevron prime minister of pakistan natural moral goal was formerly the country's chief

justice all show doubt joy coming up after extensive gone. between the government and the opposition bar did not get considered to be a noncontroversial man he had also been the chief justice of the supreme court of. and of course primary responsibility will be to ensure free and fair election within the election commission alone ready announced their twenty fifth of july as the election day date and budget than the new government of course will have to grapple with challenge alien including the economy and also wage relations with the neighbors and the united states. now the french newspaper le monde is reporting that saudi arabia has threatened military action against cattle if it buys russian weapons it says the saudi king has written to the french president to put pressure on qatar kings longmont has reportedly told him i will not draw he will retaliate

if qatar acquires the s four hundred and the aircraft defense system saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain cut off relations with qatar last june mohammed shikari is a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university joins me now from washington d.c. i suppose that's the point really isn't it saudi arabia makes a threat cattle wants to defend itself so why shouldn't it have this military equipment. while this new threat showcases the three years still maintains its hegemony impulses vis a vis a small nation at the neighborhood so after one year of the call of crisis it does not only seek the containment of culture but also to ban it or to prevent it from seeking any kind of our special you know the s four hundred from the russians and this goes against the golden rule in international law that means if you are in the air is threats you are entitled to your self defense and the way you are mueller

self so i think unfortunately from a conflict perspective this is another cycle of escalation for the sake of escalation and i think there is a huge rift not only a political issue but also the psychology of the rift sensory year has not realized that qatar has meant saying that it's over ninety and has gone beyond the brocade that was imposed last june fifth so i am afraid that i was hoping for some aid there would be an operation more or a step forwards toward somebody conciliation but this new thread makes me more pessimistic indeed one finds it quite interesting that the saudis in reportedly approaching the french would have assumed they would have consulted the americans first. well and we don't know about the inside story of what has been going on behind the scenes but i don't think the three year old can make

any gian to any kind of major plan as it has some blessings from the white house so if we hear it from paris the room it was remains to be seen as with that there has been some call the nation between the palace and the sea or this is just one of those personally impulses come in from around prince mohammed bin sentiments so we need to see some confirmation from washington or from where they do official level. internationally saudi has received barely any support for the blockade and this past twelve months in fact they received nothing but criticism and even the u.s. has apparently told them to end it in no uncertain terms i mean what pressure would saudi come under if it continued to threaten katsav in this way but this one from the international community. well i don't think that really needs to face any pressure from the outside it's just needs to reflect on the

situation if we go back to may twenty first there in the real summit when trump was there he sort of gave them some in direct blessing that years ago had and see what you can do with a cutout of because if it was charged of the stay that support the so-called terrorism at the time and hosted some radical groups but haven't gone all the way with all those modes of escalation and kind of arm twisting here and there i think we are now it's to evaluate its assessment of the crisis and also whether it is a good policy just to target qatar as a small nation in that region of the world or it is basically and the mind and its moral status its power in a visa v the other nations of the girl let alone the arab and the islamic world so it's becomes a sort of destructive more of a groupthink in riyadh that is

a main push putting more pressure and not only that and also threatening the so variety of called the so this is i think a problem of not to read in the conflict as it is in its own reality on its own merits but insisting on those personally group thing driven in policies that means if i am powerful i will maintain that i will be more part of a regardless of the record so it's a denier it's a case of denial you know when when you look deep down and why why this new cycle of escalation has come in the form of banning or prevent or trying to prevent qatar from getting some arms mr scully just briefly before we leave we have to end it that saudi is already dealing with the conflict if it thinks itself strong it's got a huge crisis with yemen a domestic generally unhappiness with the rest of the restlessness of its own. population a young population looking for jobs investment in a brighter future in

a post saudi not all oil dependent country even now its closest ally the us the there's a fractious relationship going all over yemen and you're eight years of course one of its allies with regard to the blockading of cattle is it biting off more than it can chew at the moment. here stir logic stand i think in hama been solomon instead of focusing on how to implement his twenty thirty vision how to open the door for more than a tree for freedom and human rights and things like that he is basically as he has become in a victim of his own hyper politics he has opened fire on to visa video iranians another front visibly deliberate isn't hezbollah prime minister hariri he is struggling in yemen he is basically sort of pushing his embrace sions too far too complex that he can handle so unfortunately this is hyper politics but

excel loans and i think it will need it will take him some time to get some political maturity and say well i'm not well positioned to. engage in a all these crises at the same time from iran to lebanon to syria to qatar and other places so i think hyper politics is a problem driven by some of his advisors add insult to injury by kind of enriching his ego to maintain this negative tone of just you know i thought of getting to qatar and try to get in the rest of the neighborhood and i think one day he may regret having an all the way to see what happens to the publisher kali thanks so much for joining us from washington d.c. said thank you. my well still ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour in syria a new indignity for refugees as the government moves to seize their property also the argentinean government seeks help from the i.m.f.

rain across cuba and the bahamas now things seem to improving gradually so there's still some showers around but it should be a little bit brighter generally fine conditions across many of the other caribbean and sunshine and thirty two in kingston jamaica at the through the peninsula be got fine conditions for much of mexico but guatemala likely see some heavy rain at times continuing as we head through sunday there are heavy showers across northern parts of south america all the way from venezuela so in ghana french ghana towards colombia and down through ecuador further towards a certain showers for bolivia but fine across much of chile and through argentina but again it's really pretty cold at the moment temperatures are struggling here when is areas temperatures expected to get no higher than twelve degrees. the world's pollinate says are in decline. in this episode of. we meet

entomologists on opposite sides of the planet protecting insects of all sizes crucial to preserving food chains. i've come to the u.k. to see how old industrial sites are being turned into bug reserves in an attempt to reverse this worrying trend. fighting insect to get on on al-jazeera. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave the room just. when people need to be heard women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring new award winning documentaries and live news and out i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism on air and on mine.

welcome back you're watching the observer news hour i'm so whole robin a reminder of our top stories the june the twelfth summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong un is officially back home trump made the announcement barely a week after canceling it following a ninety minute white house meeting with pyongyang his former spy chief came to new york shoot. two votes on gaza have failed at the u.n. security council the u.s. pop the first resolution put forward by kuwait which condemned israel's use of force against palestinians and the u.s. failed to get backing for its own resolution blaming hamas for the recent flare up of violence along the gaza israel border. also the french newspaper le monde is

reporting that saudi arabia has threatened to military action against cattle if it buys a russian weapons it says the saudi king told the french president he will retaliate if cattle are kweisi as four hundred and thirty aircraft defense system. there's any obstacle for millions of syrians who want to go home after fleeing the seven year war more than six million people have been internally displaced by the fighting another five and a half million syrians are refugees in other countries many of them stand to lose their homes a syrian law passed in april allows the government to seize property from people who can't prove ownership the move worries countries hosting the refugees because they may never leave they heard a report from the bekaa valley in lebanon. it's known as law number ten and it is sparking controversy the syrian government says the law is necessary for urban planning they need to start creating zones where development projects will begin

basically to reconstruct areas that have been destroyed by the war the government's opponents say no the aim is to prevent millions of people from returning and to punish those who oppose the government people are supposed to prove that they own a certain land or or or an apartment so they need property deeds many people do not have those land titles and how for syria's land was never really registered even before the war so many people do not have any proof of ownership and it's not just that people are afraid there are security reasons why they will not return to government controlled areas. is afraid that her stay in lebanon could become permanent she fled the war in syria in two thousand and thirteen her hometown of is now under government control she says the army hasn't allowed civilians to return yet and

a new law passed by the syrian government is threatening to confiscate homes of those people who don't prove ownership. i don't even know if we still have a house or if it was destroyed and when we fled we left with nothing so i don't have any documents with me there are millions of syrians like him ahmed who escaped from the fighting with nothing number ten as it is known means they may be stuck in exile international aid agencies say just nine percent of refugees and displaced have their property title deeds with them this is worrying host nations like lebanon where there are over one million refugees. it's very worrying because when things would encourage the displaced or investment to come back the country. measures to discourage them from the syrian government says the new law is needed to begin the reconstruction of areas damaged by war human rights groups disagree they say damascus passed similar laws in two thousand and twelve to confiscate

property without due process or compensation many syrian refugees no longer have valid identity documents they will not be able to prepare the types of case files that they will need to show that they are property owners within the timeframe that has been given under law number ten the syrian opposition says the law is part of the government's efforts to bring about demographic changes by repopulating areas with loyalists. many of the refugees in lebanon come from areas that were battlegrounds under rebel control before being we captured by the government places like the damascus countryside homs and the color mon region they may be considered safe by some but political economic and security reasons prevent others from returning and now the law is an obstacle to those who want to go back home even if it means living under bashar assad to rule mohammad farah said how is one of them his hometown has been all but destroyed and he has no documents to prove ownership

of his land. that i'm doing i don't have any papers i don't even know my property number that is because i inherited it from my father i don't know if my house is still standing i have nothing but god it's estimated up to fifty percent of syrian land was not officially registered before the war for many permanent displacement is becoming a reality lebanon is not the only country concerned other nations that host refugees have also expressed concern germany for example called number ten quote a cynical plan and it has appealed to the united nations to look into the issue of the european union has complained to the world trade organization about new u.s. tire of soul steel an element in the e.u. canada and mexico are promising to retaliate with levies of billions of dollars worth of u.s. goods the touch of butler has more from paris. the european union must defend

itself is the message from the block's trade commissioner who says e.u. leaders are united in imposing retaliatory tariffs on u.s. exports we are not seeking to to escalate any situation but but we need to respond and we do so in a measured manner. but not responding would be the same as accepting these these tariffs which we consider are illegal and against w. there's no word on exactly what the terrorists would be on or when they'd be imposed but they're expected to target a range of u.s. imports from jeans to motorcycles the e.u.'s foreign policy chief says a dispute settlement procedure is being launched at the world trade organization but a trade war isn't wanted the european union is a peace project including on trade we believe in. global free fair trade and we will continue to do so. donald trump's announcement on thursday to impose a twenty five percent tariff on e.u.

steel imports and ten percent on aluminum has infuriated you bidders the french president who's worked hard to develop a good relationship with his u.s. counterpart hardened his tone i like him a lot he said i think that this decision is not only illegal but it's also a mistake because it addresses the already existing international imbalance by further dividing it by bringing economic and trade nationalism nationalism is war era leaders may be united for now but will they remain so over the question of whether or not to enter into trade negotiations with washington the twenty eight member bloc has to act on consensus but finding a common approach will not be easy germany is likely to want to avoid a full blown trade war as the largest european export or to the us it has much to lose france on the other hand may pursue a tougher line so. thing made clear by the french finance minister. we do not
