over. including twenty two year old. but talent she says needs to be polished with practice. fingers paid the price and as is often with artists rewards have little to do with money. some other art is expensive no one produces hopes in turkey my instrument cost twenty thousand euros at least these are all beyond my parents' budget i am dependent on funds. it is much the same story with her fellow musicians. the instrument i buy its case its bow all a very expensive for us considering the euro is very high in turkey is a sin all mark being a musician is all about what's in your heart in a way but besides education you must have financial support. classical music is not as popular in turkey as many other countries private

institutions and companies tend to fund artists and events through what are called social responsibility budgets. this festival lasers with sponsors to support. young talent while ensuring their educational needs are met. you take this i'm not doing arts and music together pushes us to think collectively about the world's problems and act together i believe music has an indirect mission for peace the soul of some concert tickets that will help girls who are studying music of rote. fame male musicians fund i will play the maintenance of my cello and i will buy new heo for my boat so it's a amazing help for me these young stars are older than no one outside but that's home it is difficult for classical musicians to make a name for themselves and the government doesn't have an incentive or scholarship

for special arts students. but most of these girls agree they're promoting their come true with their talents and the government should recognise that and provide more help seen aamco solo al-jazeera stumble born is straight ahead just about. thanks.

three big stories generate thousands of headlines cooperation with different angles from different perspectives. to this the work that russia was responsible for the separate the spin from the facts that's why on god's states or in the misinformation from the journalism the issues here go far beyond one data mining company and one election with the listening post on al-jazeera. i remember the first time i walked into the newsroom and it felt like being in the general assembly of the united nations because it was so many nationalities. just different places but it's one that gives us that gives us the ability to identify people when they hear the side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for al-jazeera. on october the sixth one thousand nine hundred seventy

very unforgiving this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. and ian's are polite were reasonable but we also will not be pushed over canada's leader stands for strong tweets to describe him as dishonest and weak all retracting the us from the agreed g. seven summit communiqué. and other women's rights activist is arrested in saudi arabia just two weeks before women are given the right to drive in the kingdom. and nearly two hundred people missing out across a modest volcano eruption emergency workers now say there's little hope of finding anyone else alive. after years of hostility and bitter rhetoric the stage is now set for the leaders of north korea and the united states to sit down for talks donald trump and kim jong un have arrived in singapore on tuesday the two leaders will shake hands for

their historic summit it will be the first time that a sitting u.s. president has met with a north korean leader our diplomatic editor james bays has been gauging expert opinion in singapore. a moment of history the leader of north korea first and then the u.s. president several hours later arriving in the same city this on off summit is now effectively under way the face to face meeting aimed at diverting a nuclear crisis taking place on choose day kim jong un borrowed a plane from china to bring him here he's probably the least well traveled leader on earth in charge of his isolated nation for six years he had met no other foreign leader until this year he came to singapore with his own body guard unit and brought his own armored limousine on a cargo plane again supplied by china remarkably it's only nine months since

president trump told the u.n. general assembly he was prepared to annihilate pyongyang diplomacy did finally kick in with north korea sending a delegation to south korea's winter olympics in february. a historic summit at the demilitarized zone between the two koreas was followed by a secret trip by then cia director mike pompei oh the first of two visits he made to pyongyang they paved the way for this summit in singapore trump briefly canceled this summit last month and he's repeatedly threatened to walk away if he doesn't believe the negotiations is serious a tough line but at the same time trump has been sending mixed messages to kim before he flew to singapore he was asked what he wanted to achieve at this historic summit but i had a minimum i do believe at least we'll have met each other we will have. seen each other hopefully we will have liked each other and will start that process i would

say that would be the minimal no demand then for the north korean leader to commit to completely give up his nuclear capability but experts say that kim is also well aware that trump is unpredictable and that he's coming from another summit the g seven where he fell out with his closest allies a meeting where the optics are positive meaning trum gets a handshake with someone and it agreeing to some kind of nuclear need nuclearization deal would go a long way to mescaline for president from as much as it would for the. north korean state community so in in all likelihood i think the north koreans are. upbeat but they are careful with the same time. as kim had a brief courtesy meeting with singapore's prime minister news emerged that he was planning to leave the city just five hours after his meeting with trump that suggests there will not be lengthy substantial of talks but we shouldn't discount

the idea that the north korean side may perhaps of those proposed timings as a negotiation tactic james plays al-jazeera singapore so china may well be on the sidelines of the some of the beijing's influence on pyongyang is paper the obvious it was as you heard a chinese aircraft that carried him to singapore meanwhile china's president xi jinping has been hosting a meeting with central asian neighbors and russia's president vladimir putin foreign slowly reports from beijing. the eight member states of the shanghai cooperation organization together represent about forty percent of the world's population and make up about twenty percent of the world's g.d.p. so in terms of the economy and trade it's not a real heavyweight but it's not a lightweight either when it comes to the international arena because this is a grouping led by china and russia so should come as no surprise that they've use this summit as

a platform to push the idea of an alternative international order now and chinese president xi jinping alluded as much when he mentioned american one germany still existing but then said there were growing calls for a more just and equitable international order and what else have we heard coming out from the summit we've heard iranian president hassan rouhani whose country is not a member state but has observer status at the a c o attacked the u.s. for what he said was unilateralism in pulling out of the iran nuclear deal and then we've also heard chinese president criticizing the u.s. for its policies on trade its protectionist policies on trade now many analysts regard the c.e.o. as a counterbalance as a counterweight to the existing groupings that are dominated by the u.s. and its allies and what we could see going forward in the years to come is perhaps the c.e.o. gaining importance and prominence in the international world order or president trumps arrival in singapore is being overshadowed by his early departure from the

g. seven summit in canada there he refused to support a g seven joint communique which vowed to cut trade barriers a white house advisor is accusing canada's prime minister of stabbing the us in the back want germany says the u.s. has destroyed the group's trust john hendren reports from quebec city. the g. seven summit in canada began in crisis in ended in conflict u.s. president donald trump came late left early and ceded no ground as united states has been taken advantage of for decades and decades and we can't do that anymore i can gradually the leaders of other countries for so crazily being able to make these trade deals that was so good for their country and so bad for the united states neither did the six other world leaders at the g. seven summit they were united in opposing trumps tariffs on steel and aluminum a move they say is likely to spark

a trade war after trump left early the host of this summit canadian prime minister justin trudeau fired back i highlighted directly to the president that canadians did not take it lightly that the united states has moved forward with significant tariffs on our steel and aluminum industry particularly did not take lightly the fact that it's based on a national security reason that it's kind of insulting but we also will not be pushed around. from air force one on his way to singapore to meet north korean leader kim jong un sent off an angry tweet calling trudeau dishonest and weak all seven nations had papered over the trades bad signing an agreement that big. free fair and mutually beneficial trade without defining it that agreement is now moot in another tweet from air force one revoked his signature saying quote based on justin's false statements at his news conference and the fact that canada is

charging massive tariffs to our u.s. farmers workers and companies i have instructed our reps not to endorse the communique trudeau's office tweeted back quote the prime minister said nothing he hasn't said before both in public and in private conversations with the president. this picture captures the global tension and that was before the twitter war this year's g seventy is already going down is the g six plus one six members on one side and president trump on the other is a summit six of the members hope would end by escalating a budding trade war that instead has ended up accelerating but it was trudeau who had the support of his fellow g. seven members where we disagree with our allies on something it is right that we say so and the issue openly and frankly we have done just that at this summit registry of deep disappointment at the unjustified decision by the u.s. to apply terrorists to e.u.

steel and on the medium imports as the g seven leaders returned home they leave more divided than ever john hendren al-jazeera quebec city canada mccain is an economist and head of the china economic policy research program also going to university he says the trumps increasing isolation from his allies is an opportunity for china's president xi jinping. i think the message is clear just at the same time as we had the what they call it the failure of the g seven meeting in canada at the same time. playing a very important role of not just this weekend but just sending the big signal that the big changes the big decisions are being made here not just that within this not hype of racial meeting but also the meeting with north korea while the way that the g seven that by the way does not include neither china or russia is kind of straddling not just with the rest of the world but this start to struggle with each

other agenda and so in a way just like we have seen in the last couple of years that this is a further if i may use the word triumph of course e.g. being to be the people to all players in the region first of all sort of rising to a more important role within within the world and so this is a very important and we have very positive it with asians also for the meeting in singapore another flow of. ash from the volcano in guatemala has forced emergency teams to abandon their search for survivors they've given up hope now finding anyone else alive after last sunday's eruption that killed at least one hundred people nearly two hundred are still missing thousands of homes have been destroyed marianna sanchez reports from the disaster zone. this is one of more than one hundred think tim's of the eruption. boiling ash works in fields were blown nearly two kilometers into the sky much of it now didn't see
