here and then i think you got to the key points when he was asked about what he hoped to achieve in this meeting and how he thought it would play out and he said that is bottom line for the meeting and i think quite unusual that a president would admit this was just that the two men got on that he got the measure of the man and that he didn't need any commitments from this first summit so i think that is something the north koreans will welcome he said that in the first minutes he would be able to tell what he thought of supreme leader kim you said it's like when you meet someone for the first time you can tell whether you like them in the first five seconds he said it would be similar to that so the president clearly is going to look to their personal chemistry and that is going to decide i think the success of this first summit but that seemed to conflict with the one shot comment that he also made and we know that both leaders are going to be arriving on sunday there are scheduled meeting meant to take place on tuesday

just talk us through what we expect and what sort of preparations are being put in place in singapore where you are. obviously very tight security here in singapore as you say both arriving on sunday i think the u.s. president certainly wanted to get here early because he's had a difficult summit whatever he says in quebec and he's going to be somewhat tired after that he's also got a long flight here from canada and clearly you don't want to go into something like this if you're jet lagged so he gets here on sunday as does supreme leader kim the actual face to face meeting we understand will take place singapore time nine am on choose day so they both have a little bit of rest possibly meeting the prime minister of singapore each of them during that extra day on monday the summit on tuesday we have no idea how long it's going to go on for of that for. today president trump in his last interaction with

reporters before the g. seven suggested that it could be not just one day but possibly two days somewhat open ended all right james bays our diplomatic editor reporting from singapore thank you well one thing that's not expected to be on the agenda in singapore is human rights as james was just saying north korea is regarded as one of the most repressive states in the world the united nations estimates there are around one hundred thousand political prisoners detained in camps while dozens of foreigners are prevented from leaving north korea when hey reports from the south korean capital seoul. in south korea there are many emotions about the changing relationship with north korea among small vocal nationalist groups there is suspicion about pyongyang's motives concerned even paranoid that south korea is about to be engulfed by communism away from the loud rallies there are those for whom the cross border and gauge went off as

a glimmer of hope in what is often seemed a hopeless situation you don't it's hard to expect too much but we need to see how it goes we're putting all if it's together in the hope that no issues will be discussed in this summit with north korea those issues are abductions and other human rights abuses that victims and their families believe need to be on the agenda in singapore one inch rolls father when one was on a plane in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine when it was hijacked by a north korean agent most of the passengers were eventually allowed to return to the south but when one who's now eighty one wasn't among them as well as abductions there are countless other human rights abuses that continue to take place in north korea including torture and public executions the united nations says the acts may amount to crimes against humanity words you probably won't hear used when donald trump meets kim jong il and some experts believe raising human rights in the first meeting may be too sensitive japan. government disagrees and has been pushing for

the issue of abductions to be discussed north korea admitted kidnapping thirteen japanese in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's to train is spies some have been returned but japan's government suspects there may be hundreds still in north korea there are other nationalities too like this woman seen in the background of a photo taken on a north korean beach family members believe it's a no chip pan julie a thai woman who disappeared from macau in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight we have a lot of hope that south korea japan and the u.s. who push the north korean abduction issue and i will be able to meet soon at this stage the new diplomatic face of north korea is largely viewed as positive but for many it will mean nothing if the people have been waiting decades to see until out to come home when hey al jazeera soul well here's an interesting story from singapore where a group of young professionals are quietly making personal connections and building

bridges with their peers in north korea they send volunteers to the north and enter and bring north koreans to singapore in the hopes of promoting dialogue and understanding read about the chosen exchange as it's known on al-jazeera dot com where you'll find this article right on our home page now refugees in one of the world's largest camps have had their voices heard around the world and there are rare web streaming events the cuckoo my camp in kenya houses about one hundred eighty five thousand people from south sudan somalia ethiopia as well as other countries so the ted x. organization arranges lectures around the world to try and change chris' options mohamed jump june wasn't for the events. it's been an extraordinary day here at the cooma refugee camp here in north western kenya this is a refugee camp that houses around one hundred eighty five thousand refugees in this ted x. cacouna camp talk today this is something that's really been inspiring for

a lot of the residents here the organizers are hoping with this event to showcase the positive impact that refugees have had made not just in this camp not just in this country but all around the world now earlier i spoke with melissa fleming she's the chief u.n.h.c.r. spokesperson also one of the co-hosts of this event and i asked her how an event like this was going to help try to reshape the narrative around refugees and how refugees are perceived around the world 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 many of the speakers here today are refugees among them actors singers musicians poets there was one young woman in particular of the

twenty two year old refugee from south sudan her name is mary mark here she spoke with me and told me that she came back to this camp after she had left off so that she could teach children here and why that was so important to her. i look at the population in the. especially that population of the most of them a hopeless. and seeing me as their teacher who is almost their peer will actually encourage them to move on to push on to see that life is not about the company life is something mall ahead and that's what i want them to believe it and every time i'm in my class teaching them biology our business. i'm not just teaching business i'm teaching business the set of statistics that will help them everybody i've spoken with here today has told me they believe an event like this is extremely important not just because it counteracts negative

stereotypes about refugees but also because it will inspire so many refugees around the world. let's bring in our social media producer sarah to tell us about the conversation that's being had online serow yeah well lots of excitement from people taking part in those attending as well and it's all unfolding online from the preparations to behind the scenes pictures and videos even being posted from there from the camp and if you want to follow all those up days the hash tag coming out of the refugee camp is ted x. kakuma camp so you'll find a lot of stories coming from that and to follow the life feed from the n.h. cia you just need to go to that facebook page but the theme of the event is thrive and that's their main mission to challenge the status quo associated with refugee camps in general but more important need to share with the world positive stories of perseverance and creativity with refugees and for refugees a recent study by international finance corporation actually shows that cooma camp

and its surrounding areas in fact is a market place worth over fifty six million dollars and incredibly there are more than two thousand businesses in operation that now the refugees have showing spending and buying power trading with local community hosts and investing in buying everything from food to cosmetics to mobile phones but also an eighty seventy percent of accounts residents have access to the internet which has been integrity for them for improving their businesses and investment prospects there so with the success stories including a small business owner there's also other people like twenty three year olds he's arrived at the kenyan camp as a child but through determination he participated in the twenty sixteen olympics he's the one that dressed with the red top but he took part in the first ever lympics refugee camp sort of refugee a couple of years ago. well there is good. and we're going to get to the.

good and the good. but most of it is struggling. with those discovered. left doesn't. need to struggle. keyboard and to great. thank you so much to you in government i mean we can learn a lot from him as well as other success stories including ameena rwanda she's an international award winning filmmaker and her first film is called it has killed my mother and her story was when she arrived in kenya nine years ago she worked at a hospital inside cocoon a refugee camp but she was so moved by the prevailing as a female genital mutilation it pushed her to make this film about it and to raise awareness but there are also lots of other people that have were born in fact in the refugee camp in cream including her lima agent and you can see her there gracing one of the magazines she's the first head jobby or veiled model to the

grace of fashion top fashions top runway and the camp is also her birth place of a question many are asking is can such an event change her how a refugee camp is seen and there's several people who have been tweeting about that as well including this person who says that these are inspiring stories and journeys that change you it should change you at least marks you take something with you have another tweet here by someone called dan more angry and says not all of these refugees will remain in kenya permanently one day many may return to their homeland when they do they'll have the skills to help rebuild their societies and economies as well as provide strong ties to the country where they where they sought refuge where we'd like to hear from you perhaps you're a free derrius self you can get in touch of me a.j. newsprint is the hash tag. well our so the stream had an interesting guest week to discuss how the ted x. can change the way refugee camps are actually seen so the stream also asked our

that this should be a cease fire and you know it cease fires that essential before you start and you're wrong no peace negotiations and we can see the ocean process but i still consider it is a very small kind of the c.p.m. we have yet to see any negotiation process we start again. state department state. just for but. on selected for yesterday it momentum meant the minutes of the live on to come up with the congo ultimately to. offer another thing i'd like to add which is significant about this first of all of the u.s. forces and that is less for the u.s. side it being to my needs. there was no distinction made within the taliban about continuing operations against any network and it's only by you you've been there and we've had these kind of off where's all our other kind of interventions from the us there or is draw

a distinction between the and that which is on the list of terrorist organizations less has declared them are stronger nation and uniquely that division as is ported over there talking about that leon but this time there's been a blanket kind of that awful of cease fire once the being of a cease fire against. so i don't hog responsibly it's going. there's a lot of momentum on restocking. with the thought of on again and these kind of interactions be that time where we see probably. this process stocking again. that it's important to. which way does this guy at this time that he was offered. nick clark is joining us from london with more of the international news heinecke. daryn thanks very much more guatemalans have been ordered to leave their homes to escape an eruption of mt the volcano has been spewing a toxic cloud of ash and lava for the past five days at least one hundred nine

career spanned continents but his love of the restaurant business had humble beginnings started out as a dishwasher before becoming a chef in new york his best selling memoir about the underbelly of manhattan's restaurant business changed his life and launched a t.v. career i went from a guy you know broke. always ben had been broke never insured never owned anything perpetually in debt. hard working god overnight the guy with the best job in the world with the freedom to travel around the world doing anything he wants and get paid for it the sixty one year old was filming a series in france for c.n.n. network says anthony bourdain committed suicide and released a statement his talents never cease to amaze us and we will miss him very much force and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time ordains death comes just days after a fashion icon kate spade apparently took her own life spade's husband and business partner said the fifty five year old suffered from depression and anxiety for years

suicide rates across the u.s. have jumped dramatically over the past decade in two thousand and sixteen there were nearly forty five thousand suicides more than twice the number of murders among the young suicide is now the second leading cause of death for dayne one dozens of awards for his work in two thousand and thirteen judges for one prestigious award on a dem for expanding our palates and horizons in equal measure and a gallica al-jazeera well anthony bourdain used his platform to draw attention to issues that other celebrity chefs sign away from. mr trump to ports eleven million people or whatever he's talking about. every rest of the america would we would if would shut down.

is a measure i guess of how twisted and shallow are the fiction of the people is that these images come as a shock so maybe the world has visited many terrible things for the palestinian people. you see this tortured relationship between america and iran for many years how do you think most americans will react if you start coming. to radians we take you to our house and take it's our hearts and. that's when you get extremely.

weak twenty five or thirty percent of all the food we've been in the country brazenness going three years it's a problem the garbage. i find that personally offensive. well as you can imagine anthony bourdain is name trended worldwide as people expressed shock and sadness but for most it was a chance to speak about mental health and sara back to tell us why. right will drain it's time we talk about mental health that's the main theme but with saying online. vici bennett troyer amy winehouse robyn williams even these are just

a handful of celebrities who have committed suicide when their deaths resonate with millions of people worldwide suffering silently with depression and p.t.s.d. and much more was like i had no idea they were depressed are far too common in knots why that has resurrected that conversation how it's a bit mental health is in fact the stigma is attached so much that it stops people from getting any sort of help and shame and guilt is what what tends to stop many people from even talking about it if you're a man then you're less likely to get help but it's so important to remember you know sometimes because mental illness is on the rise with one person committing suicide every forty seconds globally and the world health organization actually has an excellent explainer on what it's like living with depression comparing it to a big black dog is from a few years back but it's just as relevant today it's a must watch. my biggest fear was being found out i worried that people would judge

me because of the shame and stigma of the black dog i was constantly worried about be found out so i missed a vast amounts of energy into covering him up keeping up an emotional exhausting. but i could make you think and say things. he could make me earth and to be around. he would take my love very much and. he loved nothing more than to wake me up with holly repetitive negative thinking he also like to remind me how exhausted i was going to be the next day having a black dog in your life isn't so much about feeling a bit sad don't lose at it's worst it's about being devoid of feeling together. well people can relate to that and that's why they've taken the opportunity to remind others not to judge suicide mental health is an illness and severely misunderstood in the online debate is whether suicide is selfish or not with many

agreeing it's not i mean one person is the author he says is the final symptom of tragedy and urges people not to judge what you can't understand and mental health awareness campaigners and therapists have taken this opportunity to also share on social media information surrounding this topic for example there are plenty of help lines out there in your country even international numbers that you can dial for free if you need to speak to an expert for free advice as well and there are also guides online on how to talk to your boss about mental health i just bring that up there so you can see plenty of pictures like this and if you also go to the who w.h.o. world health organization twitter feeds you'll find a list there of what you can do what measures to prevent suicide and even suicide attempts but call them says the hazel sarpy known as c b t mindfulness yoga meditation these are all available now at a click of a button and for those

a tech savvy you can skype with a therapist on facebook you can also use mobile apps rather like com and headspace which was one of the most downloaded last year and those are so much more accessible right now and research proves that social media can cause mental health but it's also tool for people to share stories on how simple acts of kindness have helped them using the hash tag live through this and i just want to show you this once we have by a person who seems to have started this trend if it loads they go by an american author anna-marie cox she wrote about a stranger giving a pack of tissues when she was crying that person she says kept me going another day well if you've got any stories to share any personal ones we have any opinions on that do get in touch with us you can simply share your thoughts i'm on twitter. sara thank you will speak to dr done right and berg is a member of the international association for suicide prevention and the executive director of suicide awareness voices of education that's

a nonprofit agency working to prevent suicide and help survivors he's joining us from minneapolis and minnesota thanks very much for speaking to us just break down the mental health illness for us and explain why it sometimes can lead to suicide but thank you for having me this is such an important topic you see mental health issues mental illnesses are really brain illnesses they're really diseases that originated in the brain external things in our life might hit us but really when the chemicals get out of balance or when there are structural changes within the brain it affects our personality it affects the words that we say our ability to speak clearly it affects our logic and reasoning it affects our behaviors so all of these things start from within the brain and these are the mental illnesses the end when they're not treated as not treated successfully we sometimes lose people to suicide because of that and speaking off treatment i'm sure you've seen the latest

figures put out by the centers for disease control prevention showing that's suicide is now the tenth most common cause of death in the u.s. why is there and the c.d.c. in fact says that this is increasing why is there an increase. no one knows exactly why all of the increases but there are many reasons to suspect that the opioid crisis the medications the pain killers have increased the number of deaths by suicide we know that the veterans in disproportion fortunate numbers are increasing the number of suicides the recession that hit the global world in that two thousand and eight has increased the number of suicides us unemployment has gone up so we have this this large confluence of factors that of resulted in increases now that kept also be missing the the media and social media as we heard in that story

social media does have an impact on a mental health issues both positive and negative there's good things about social media but there's also some troubling things in the way media reports and suicide it increases deaths if we look at robin williams' death we can look at his death in august of two thousand and fourteen and take any other august and you will not see the same number of suicides so his death alone and the media coverage of that increase the those numbers what sort of coping mechanisms to be beefed up to offer help to those who are dealing with mental health issues. susan i'm really glad you asked this is such an important question and one that needs more study you see coping skills tend to break down for those who are suicidal coping skills or things like communication skills how can you communicate what your needs and wants are conflict resolution skills how do you deal with conflict and stresses in the world what do you do to take care of your physical

body when you're under stress and distress do you go out and use out a holler do you go out and run and walk to deal with that energy and it's inside of you you see what people are struggling with mental health issues they're coping skills breakdown and they don't work as well for them so we need to do more to help support the person who struggling with mental health issue beef up and increase their coping skills to get through their crisis you see these crises are a waste adversities and suicide doesn't have to be the outcome to these life or first cities but when coping skills breakdown mental illnesses take over people are risk and how do you help people get over this issue of the stigma surrounding mental health issues. so that's another big issue that it was raised in their pretty story we need to talk about this we need to be open about these illnesses they are in the brain you wouldn't tell somebody who has cancer to just get over it

you wouldn't tell someone who has diabetes just to not do something and then we find that this is not mental illness is work either people who are struggling with a mental health issue can't just get over they can't just make it go away in their w.h.o. piece about the blacked out you can't just make the blacked out just disappear or not be there when you wake up in the morning so we need to support people and allow them to be able to talk about these struggles over a long period of time it isn't like a broken arm that mayhew within six weeks mental illness is recur they come back and sometimes they last months and months so we need to be supportive understanding sympathetic we need to be available to them and we need to be able to talk about this in a way that doesn't shame or judge mental of who they are all right dr done right in berg thank you for speaking to us from minneapolis. all as the twenty eight hundred fifty a world cup in russia is about to start it's about to kick off that is philippines

football is experiencing a high on the international stage but domestically the game is still struggling to establish legitimacy for a local league so male and ogun takes a look at how in rural areas in southern philippines young filipinos dream about becoming professional football players. following his football dream ralf says he has loved the sport for as long as he can remember he's aspirations are no different to those of many boys to be a professional football player but it comes from them in the region of the philippines long held back by poverty and conflict and games like his are often have to remain just that a g. . rob studies during weekdays in the other city but on weekends he travels for hours to this town of keep the power on to teach football to young kids so you know

and i feel bad when i see children here not reach their full potential in football they cannot afford coaches so i share with them what i learned and what they can barely afford sports clothes to play young and have to make do with whatever space they're given. here in the basement. but rob says the recent historic win of the philippine national football team the astros against the gittis john is inspiring it is the first time the national team has qualified for the asian cup the ask goes also rose in world rankings soaring nine places to one hundred and thirteen it may not seem much but it's the highest ranking the team has ever achieved thank. god thank you thank you. the philippine asco say they hope their qualification to the asian cup will inspire more filipinos to take up football specially in rural areas like this

one because they say all they really need is an open field and the ball but that's easier said than done. in a country where basketball is seen as a national sport football ranks much lower in terms of government for your team as we progress and as we continue to reap success we hope that this translates into interest in the national team and interest in the sport football has this reputation and image that it's a sport for the elite you know that the only the only country is in the philippines you know countries in south america in africa you know football is the sport for the working class is the sport for the masses. in remote provinces but the land classes are often disrupted by gunfire and fighting. and the pair of football boots is the last thing on the boy's mind but they won't give up the dream of one day

playing professionally on the proper grass pitch. for now they are happy as long as they have a ball to be. similarly dugan al-jazeera to the power. and we'll take you live to canada. back province where the u.s. president donald trump is departing right now from the g. seven summit in charlotte well and he's on his way to singapore as you can see for that historic meeting with north korea's leader kim jong. will arrive in singapore on sunday and that meeting between the north korean leader and the u.s. president is expected to take place on tuesday so that is trump departing a shuttle of what canada he is leaving the g. seven summit earlier than the other leaders in attendance.

around seventy families who lost their homes in that earthquake still live in this camp. the government raised our hopes and then abandoned. politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand eight hundred five but the cost and complexity of housing hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government failed. states has been taken advantage of for decades and decades and we can't do that anymore. president trump ends the g. seven summit warning fellow leaders against foreign barriers to trade if they retaliate they're making a mistake he said. and

i'm a clock. from london also coming up in the program i'm reporting from seoul much of the talk is about. and the trump. many people are focused on personal issues that they hope can finally be result. streaming live from one of the world's biggest camps refugees in kenya get a chance to share their stories of the world. and football dreams of filipino youngsters back from poverty and conflict trying to come before. us president donald trump has ended his summit with the economic powerhouses that make up the g. seven with coal for tariff free world he said that talks with fellow leaders at beating stream be productive but that he was determined the united states was treated in his words fairly. president trump took part in

a number of working sessions on such diverse topics as women's empowerment and climate change the u.s. president has faced heavy criticism for pulling out of the paris agreement he also calls the arriving late to this morning's round table on gender equality trump briefed reporters before leaving the summit early for singapore you want a tariff free you want no barriers and you want no subsidies because you have some cases where countries are subsidizing industries and that's not fair so you go tariff free you go barrier free you go subsidy free because of the fact that the united states leaders of the past didn't. do a good job on trade and again i'm not blaming countries i'm blaming our people that represented our past. it's going to change it's going to change i mean it's not a question of i hope it changes it's going to change one hundred percent and

tariffs are going to come way down because we people cannot continue to do that we like to piggy bank that everybody is robbing and that ends let's go live now to john hendren in quebec city in john not your average g seven this is that one does what it will be remembered for. this i think will be remembered as the g. six plus one six members on one side of the united states isolated on the other and that is all over the issue of trade after trump raise tariffs just ahead of his meeting on aluminum and steel. europe canada mexico china all retaliated and that became issue number one justin trudeau the canadian prime minister who has hosted this gathering wanted it to be about climate change gender equality clean energy but two of the other subjects trump will miss entirely because he's left early and this will now be remembered as this summit in which the sixty seven could

not agree on trade that trump had an interesting idea of a tariff free subsidy free zone either in the g seven or beyond it that'll be an interesting issue of discussion but unlikely to happen anytime soon i think it's hard to suggest to anybody that this has been a successful summit it's not even clear that all seven will be signing on to the agreement that usually signed at the end of this meeting saying the parties all agree on because issue number one was trade and we couldn't agree on that. the president said that relations among the g seven are as good or bad of an ad. is he may be of the same well that the other members. and that seems to be another example of trump saying black is white i don't think there's another member of the g seven who would say that at all other people have described the meetings as tense canadians that canadians foreign minister described it was cordial cordell is

a step above uncivil but it's not so far as going see it was nice this was a really tense meeting relations may not be bad overall i think what trump was saying was that in doing just as this was a tough meeting we did not agree on everything nevertheless we all get along but as he leaves he leaves the rest of them disappointed and i think it's hard to say that relations have not been damaged by this meeting so the trump is also of course for president that russia coming back into the g. seven was for me the g. eight and russia. forced out and he wants them to come back how to play. like a lead balloon there was one other member who was interested in having russia join an expanded g. eight that was g.'s f. e. contest a new prime minister none of the rest like that of canada had an official saying absolutely not with rushers current behavior russia was kicked out after invading

crimea and indeed crain and there is no desire among the other members of the team savants to have russia joining china soon all right john thanks very much indeed john hendren a new quebec city. now donald trump has left the summits in quebec and is now a route to see a poll for tuesday's highly anticipated meeting with kim jong un it will be the first time in seven u.s. president and north korean leader have ever come face to face. it's a one time shot and i think it's going to work. very well and that's why i feel positive because it makes so much sense and we will watch over it will protect and will do a lot of things i can say that south korea japan china many countries want to see it happen and they'll help. so there's a great there's really

a great time this is not happened in all of the years that they've been separated by a very artificial boundary it's a great opportunity for peace and lasting peace and prosperity well to implement to get it's a james bays is standing by in singapore waiting for the leaders to arrive. their way james who knows what's going to happen next. absolutely this is a u.s. president who does things so very differently from his predecessors you wouldn't expect with something as delicate as this negotiation president trying to take so many questions and be so forthcoming but yes he was you heard him say there was one shot at this summit and that kim had to make a decision here but in the same news conference he said this could just be an opening meeting in the start of a process and i think the north koreans will be pretty happy with what they've

heard from president trump because he was asked directly what's he wanted to achieve at this summit nice he said had all sorts of things he wanted to achieve but then he made it clear his bottom line was simply to get on with the north korean leader to make sure that they had a very good first meeting so then they could start a process saying that in the first minutes he would know whether kim was someone he could do business with he said it's rather like when you meet someone for the first time you can decide in the first five seconds whether you like them or not so it's pretty clear from those comments that kim will come here knowing he doesn't need to make a big concession on this first meeting. do you have trouble is shooting from the hip don't you with this kind of lack of preparation although he says he's been preparing all his life for this how much groundwork has been done behind the scenes . they'll be a great deal of ground book and i'm sure as ever for these things there will be

people prepared to brief the president i'm sure they'll be huge briefing books for the president but he doesn't like doing his homework that's pretty clear from insiders in the white house he clearly has already said that he's his preparation is he's life's work the art of the deal and all of that remember though he's coming already tired from what has been a difficult summit coming here jetlag he does have a few hours when he gets here he has basically monday as a quad day off before the summit on choose day but on the other side of the table you have a much younger man hoff here's a who will be negotiating with him someone who knows intimately north korea the history of north korea who was bred to be the country's ruler and also knows the secrets of north korea's nuclear program because although trump will be given ideas about north korea's nuclear program it has been a secret and want to seems even the cia don't know everything all right james

thanks very much indeed james bays reporting. well the d.p. r. k. as it's officially called is regarded as one of the most repressive nations in the world united nations estimates there are around one hundred thousand political prisoners detained in camps while dozens of foreigners are prevented from leaving when hey reports now from seoul. in south korea there are many emotions about the changing relationship with north korea among small vocal nationalist groups there is suspicion about pyongyang's motives concerned even paranoid that south korea is about to be engulfed by communism away from the loud rallies there are those for whom the cross border and gauge went off as a glimmer of hope in what is often seemed a hopeless situation you don't it's hard to expect too much but we need to see how it goes if putting all if it's together in the hope that no issues will be discussed in this summit with north korea those issues are abductions and other

human rights abuses that victims and their families believe need to be on the agenda in singapore one inch holes father when one was on a plane in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine when it was hijacked by a north korean agent most of the passengers were eventually allowed to return to the south but when one who's now eighty one wasn't among them as well as abductions there are countless other human rights abuses that continue to take place in north korea including torture and public executions the united nations says the acts may amount to crimes against humanity words you probably won't hear used when donald trump meets kim jong il and some experts believe raising human rights in the first meeting may be too sensitive japan's government disagrees and has been pushing for the issue of abductions to be discussed north korea admitted kidnapping thirteen japanese in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's to train is spies some have been returned but japan's government suspects there may be hundreds still in north korea there are other nationalities

too like this woman seen in the background of a photo taken on a north korean beach family members believe it's a no chip pan joy a thai woman who disappeared from macau in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. i have a lot of hope that south korea japan and the u.s. will push the north korean abduction issue and i will be able to meet soon at this stage the new diplomatic face of north korea is largely viewed as positive but for many it will mean nothing if the people they've been waiting decades to see aren't allowed to come home when hey al-jazeera solve. the taliban in afghanistan has announced a three day ceasefire to mark the end of ramadan it is the first such true since the group was toppled by the us led invasion in two thousand and one taliban fighters say they will stop all offensive operations during the muslim. holiday later this month except against foreign forces it follows a similar announcement by the afghan government. the government of canada.
