we'll be arriving in singapore two days prior to the actual summit meeting that news that these two leaders want to be in the back stage for their new teams in singapore to narrow down any differences on to the last moment the sims loping young and was and are still very much or part on what would constitute a c.v. . indeed and should we be viewing this this summit which are as everyone is pointing out is his story it should be viewing it as the start of a process rather than an event in and of itself that will yield either denuclearization of the korean peninsula or not while you are correct i mean mr donald trump himself made a reference to this summit meeting as our forest of many processes are he use a term of process nine times in the recent you know of years on the of coming some

in meeting and he even alluded he might invite to mr kim don't want to visit the white house if the forests or something meeting is going well so this is a store for a spot in the article and remind us again of what kim would want from this negotiation he's offered pretty much to cease all nuclear activity what does he want to return from the us. well you just mentioned that the united states was a really isolated in the juice of a meeting in quebec north korea is as isolated as a country being so in order to escape from this corner isolation and the pressure of economic sanctions for survival. in the world to see two things one is the security guarantee from the united states and the united states are agreement to lift economy. in parallel with north korea taking steps toward peace.

young thank you very much indeed. we've got a lot more to come in this al-jazeera news hour including looking ahead to a saudi meeting this aimed at helping jordan's ailing economy. and days after mount rapid in guatemala hopes of finding survivors windell. on the south african rugby team about to make history because of their choice of captain joe will tell all install. the taliban in afghanistan has announced a three day cease fire after the end of ramadan but that would include foreign forces taliban fighters warm they will defend themselves if attacked during the.

muslim holiday next week the ceasefire follows a similar announcement by the government. now the taliban was ousted from power following the us invasion of afghanistan in two thousand and one but the armed group remains a powerful force the us government watchdog recently reported the afghan government has control or influence in fewer than sixty percent of districts the taliban control fifty nine districts as a fifteen percent of the total fighting between the taliban and security forces has intensified since announcing its annual spring offensive in april we can speak to symbolic calm now he's a political security analyst she's joining us via skype from islamabad pakistan capital thank you very much indeed for joining us it sounds like a very encouraging step doesn't it the first of all the first ever offer of a unconditional cease fire coming from the gandhi government and now being met with

a similar response from the taliban. yes i definitely thank you i definitely think it was the first i would consider it a good c b m or a confidence building measure as you may know that you know the last few months in their desire to start a reconciliation process with the taliban has picked up a man and he came out with a very open offer a few months ago of about offer to the taliban to start with fusion again and then i'll read that you know this offer has come up from the new government saying that this should be a cease fire and you know it ceasefire that essential before you start and you're on top of the legal situation and we can see it in process but i still consider to the very small kind of the c.p.m. we have yet to see any negotiations for the restart again. state department.

just for pakistani people also life and before yesterday build momentum and meant that i live on to come up with the come to let me read you well it's interesting that that phone call was made. to islamabad isn't it so clearly pakistan is a still viewed as being fairly influential in terms of this security situation in afghanistan but also i was going to ask you meant more about the complications in terms of the foreign forces who are fighting there the u.s. has said that it will all know the afghan government's commitment to this ceasefire but is prepared to continue its operations against known taliban fighters and that is exactly what the government has said but it's rather complicated isn't it how does one distinguish so easily between the taliban fighter and then eisel fighter for instance. yes i think that that's a position that's come from the u.s. side that they would do not patient against the ideas as part of not. does a good attitude or give them some pie says the only known dead agreed that they

actually control is in number hog provinces which is one of the two provinces wondering buckets on. understand they do have presence more different doctors presence in the north in gives there is an attack by isis and the form forces lethal use and if it's a retaliation died of the hide it should happen in the number card a.b.s. and number not also that a few will disagree with i can see them out again or go to prison so i think we can distinguish whether those three got a piece right if they happen from the us occupying place against isis is another thing i'd like to aggregate significant about this but suppose the us forces a bit less for the us side being too funny he thought there was no distinction made with a design a bond about good doing well creation the being on the next wealth and not a bunch you then are we prod deep kind of upwards all our our kind of interventions

from the usa or bizarre distinction between finding that which is on the list of dead is womanizing less a bigger decentest on the night vision and usually that division is. made by never there talking about anyone but this time the then the blanket kind of put off awful fire was the lead with five against the taliban for the cd so i don't know how to translate going forward but there is a lot of momentum on nice talking. with a lot of on again and these signed off interactions pretty that time with the feed probably both. the talking and the. important. ally which with this guy this time than it was usually. to come thank you very much indeed. now the king of jordan is due in mecca in saudi arabia on sunday and he's hoping for help from the leaders of saudi arabia kuwait and the u.a.e.

prepays income tax rises in jordan provoked some of the largest protests that the country has seen for years the government has since shelved that proposal but it still faces the very tricky task of balancing popular demand but the need to reduce the national debt and curb inflation. well the saudi royal statement says the kingdom will look at how to support jordan which relies heavily on foreign aid the saudis and other g.c.c. gulf cooperation council allies stopped paying three and a half million dollars in annual aid last year the war in neighboring syria has reduced imports and calls prices to increase in jordan six hundred fifty thousand syrian refugees are registered as living there squeezing government finances further still jordan is on the pressure from the i.m.f. to reduce its national debt we can speak to daoud kuttab is a journalist and founder of the net and he's joining us from the jordanian capital

amman thank you very much indeed for talking to us. where do we start the situation in terms of the jordanian economy is pretty right isn't it but it was precipitated pretty much wasn't it by the the stopping of the aid the annual aid coming from saudi arabia that just hit. there's help to tip jordan into this precarious state. well jordan has had their financial aid from many of the gulf countries including saudi arabia and qatar and other countries and most of that has dried up or has gone on on to specific programs not helping the basic budget of the country and so jordan did have to go to the i.m.f. and ask for three years seven hundred twenty eight million dollar loan and that loan was conditional on number of austerity measures including an income tax law

that there why didn't they wait in increases their percentage of people paying income tax and that put out the people in protest and now we're in a situation where jordan has shelved that law but they really don't have any alternative to cover their debt and so my ball sits in the first instance and i mean it's been suggested that it was because of of jordan's geo political position almost on a range of issues that she upset the prevailing powers in riyadh and that was the reason why the assistance was stopped. well there is different schools of thought on this issue there is one that says that the gulf countries wanted to support jordan programmatically rather than just the cash in fusion and they wanted to support programs like building schools and highways rather than just giving them money and there are some people who think that there is there some kind of

a political connection to the stopping of the direct support but i'm not sure what the reason is but the really the fact is that jordan is suffering because of the absence of financial aid in jordan has a lot of responsibilities towards palestine towards the mosque it trained in pay the salaries of the hundreds of guards at the luxor mosque and that is seen as representing not only jordan but they slam ik world that they are trying to protect the third holiest mosque in islam so they feel that arab countries certainly have a responsibility towards jordan to keep it afloat. good to talk to you thank you very much indeed now a web streaming event is taking place at one of the world's biggest refugee camps which the organizers hope will help change the way refugees are viewed it's the cooma camp and it houses around one hundred eighty five thousand people from countries like south sudan somalia and ethiopia the speakers included the current

and former camp refugees the organization behind it ted x. arranges lectures around the world well they're in cooma refugee camp is a very mohammed jam june and he's joining us live mohammed what kind of event did it turn out to be. martina it's been an extraordinary remarkable day. people i'm speaking with all day are telling me how happy they are that this is happening i had two men south sudanese refugees who've been in this camp for five years who approached me moments ago just to tell me how excited they were this event was taking place and event that they believe will highlight the kind of positive impact refugees are making not just in this community in this country but also around the world so to speak more about everything behind this event i want to bring in our guests right now we're very happy to have melissa fleming she's the chief spokesperson for us and also one of the co-host of this event the melissa thank you so much for being with us i want to ask you first about

this event how does something like this help change the narrative when it comes to refugees and how they're perceived around the world well i think most europeans or americans are astray and think that all the refugees are coming their way frankly most of them are in countries like kenya eighty five percent and yet they're invisible and we were hoping with this event today can't we could really illuminate the camp but not only that the extraordinary refugees and the talents and the ideas they have by putting them on as powerful a stage as the ted stage all right why exactly did you want choose to cooma camp what is it specifically about this camp that would help you would help you any of c.r. and headaches to highlight the kind of impact refugees are making it will u.n.h.c.r. wants to see the traditional kind of refugee camps as relics of history we want to move away from this sequestering of refugees in remote places and camps and into what we see here also in the callow bay settlement which is an integrated

settlement integrated with the host population with development actors coming in agricultural projects. an amazing economic zone shared services both kids integrated into the same school self reliance of refugees so you have the old and the new and it's multicultural you have one nine hundred eighty s. here and you have a very progressed. government the governor here is not only welcoming of refugees he sees them as an economic opportunity i mean this is a fascinating first step in trying to make this kind of change but at a time when so many refugee stories and crises are so under covered around the world what comes next exactly because well you know i think one by one what's really important is to tell individual human stories of refugees because there's this saying and one of our speakers is going to talk about the arithmetic of compassion as he says statistics are human beings with the tears right off the more who die the less we care why because statistics have

a numbing effect by allowing refugees to speak and to tell their own story express themselves their own ideas the world will see refugees i think in a different light all right melissa fleming i know the conference is starting up again now you got to get back in there thank you so much for taking time to talk with us about this thank you for your time today we appreciate it because you're also for hosting us and for speaking to our speakers on on the air thing right thanks again that was melissa fleming she's the chief spokesperson for you in h.c.r. and also one of the co-hosts of this event now martine just once again i really want to try to stress what a remarkable thing this is to witness you know i was speaking last hour about the fact that i've been covering displacement refugee crises for over a decade now and really to see something like this which really gives such a such a positive energy in a camp like this that really excites people to this extent you've had actors you've had musicians musical performances refugees speaking about the trials and tribulations that they've suffered and how empowered they are and how they are

trying to empower others in this campaign around the world through this event it's really something special to see martin. thank you very much indeed. in just a little while ever ten will have the weather for us also coming up on this al-jazeera news. room all of your gold. ramadan tradition that suddenly had risk in jerusalem's old city. and its fans get football fever over the world cup we look at how the sport is growing in some rather unexpected corners of the globe joe we'll have the details. here and it's. in the street. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. well weather slowly improving across the southeast of

china now that tropical storm and when the air is in the process of face laying out still a few showers coming in over the next couple of days this is one province where we have seen extensive flooding as a result of the very heavy downpours in that has caused widespread chaos as you can see also some power problems as well here as one would expect under the circumstances hong kong had around hof the june average rainfall in just three days that west the weather is a set is now the process of fizzling out easing down towards the southeastern corner just gradually pulling away surprise the skies will come back in behind as we go on through the next few days i am pleased to say still a few showers close by to hong kong as you can see as we go on through sunday by monday it should be largely dry a little more cloud just spilling its way in a little further south and east into the philippines see this raft of showers continue to just drag their way across a good part of luzon that all ties up with another tropical storm on the ski which is causing problems here so you go over that area of cloud we already have flooding

in manila you can see this is already a problem here and it will worsen as we go on through the next few days so this is a position of melissy it will make its way further north woods as we go on through the next few days but further showers for a good part of the more than philippines. the weather sponsored by catarrh as always. she said seven nights in the school. each one a story. to be seen. to be. demonstrative. this time with. the human being. on. you possibilities. medical facilities have already declared

from the rest of the world the world's richest countries are also rejected trump's suggestion to readmit russia to the group. during the eve. of this but it won't include foreign forces. two days ago. russia. president vladimir putin and other regional leaders are meeting in china for the shanghai cooperation organization summit they're expected to drum up support around president rouhani for the iran nuclear deal after the u.s. withdrew regional security will also be discussed. well that's exactly what we want to talk to an italian about he's a political and economic affairs commentator and he's joining us live from beijing the timing is immaculate isn't it the g seven taking place in canada meanwhile across in china now it's almost an alternative axis of influence is that how you'd

see it. martin it's a tale of two summits the best of times and the worst of times on one side of the world it is the worst of times a family fractured instead of showing unity there bickering among themselves instead of creating a trade group they are talking about trade wars on the other side the putin received a medal of honor from she it seems like a love fest it's gearing up to be something very interesting and it is a definitely a counterpoint it is also perhaps the focus of a new initiative that will link up the s.d.o. with the belton road initiative and could it be seen perhaps as a consequence if you like of the increasingly robust policies coming from the white house which seem to have caused a great attention with the chinese leadership as well as with mr putin in the

kremlin. well it's assad just the kremlin or china is everybody as you can see by this fractured g. seven it is really the g six versus one at this point is despite the the nice thing said by the italian side it is clear that the u.s. is isolating itself and that is where a lot of people are going to be looking at the differences between these two summits how they're approaching the world it's different in terms of its style and its substance and this is very important important as the world is wondering what the shape will be a lot of businesses are now putting their investments in because they're not certain of the future ok it's going to be really a big counterpoint ok but it's not completely sweetness and light in the c.e.o. is it president she's both him brode initiative doesn't have the complete approval

of the indians for instance. if you're absolutely right i mean there are still a lot of differences in there but i think you're going to see a lot of movements on that since the wound summit five weeks ago there have been a constant stream of ministers and diplomats going back and forth between delhi and beijing and it seems that there are a very close to settling a lot of these issues now it will not be i don't think an embrace of the bell to the road but if there is connectivity if for instance they decide to extend the nepal railroad that china is building through india this accomplishes the same thing it's the connectivity that is the essence of the belts and wrote in however that happens it will bring economic development wherever it goes and that's hang in for now thank you very much. now more guatemalans have had to leave their homes

because they're threatened by the continuing erupting volcano mount trager that's been spewing toxic ash and lava for the past five days at least one hundred nine people have died and more than two hundred people are missing there's little hope now that they'll be found alive some of the survivors have been speaking to our reporter david mercer. as painful as his burns might be. knows how lucky he is to be alive he his wife and father in law were at home the moment brought a mollusc volcano erupted that he'd and his wife managed to escape but the memories of that day will haunt them forever. was forming inside our house when we went running out my father in law was swept away the ash was boiling mud mixed with people were running and the hot ash came down on top of them killing them people were trapped inside their houses and couldn't escape they were cooked inside

six children with severe burns were airlifted to the united states where pediatric burn center offer state of the art treatment not available in guatemala. and now one of all is national disaster agency is coming under fire for possible negligence public prosecutors have ordered an investigation into whether evacuation procedures were properly followed is a little bit of the official say they warned the public after sensors picked up an increase in volcanic activity hours before the eruption their feet do i mean to the mayor of all of the communities received warnings and obviously we don't have the authority to order an evacuation we make recommendations and it's the residents who decide whether to evacuate or not. but residents who escaped the gases and volcanic mud said that only those close to the highway heard the warning we would on the other loizzo see it if we would have received

a warning we would have left our house earlier and many people's lives would have been saved i don't know about the others but they didn't warn us we didn't know about the eruption until the lava was coming down. or up that again on friday expelling large quantities of pirate classic material on ash. nearby homes were evacuated authorities hoping to avoid another disaster david mercer al-jazeera a squint law one of. three years of war in yemen has displaced thousands of people who live under harsh conditions in remote areas and they j. agencies say most of yemen's twenty nine million people are now in need of aid. reports. some of the millions of victims of the war in yemen refugees living in makeshift camps in her data the province is under control
