as history has proven over and over again. can indeed become friends a pledge for peace in singapore as both the u.s. and north korea dubbed the leaders summit a success. the signed document says north korea will work towards denuclearization but it's not clear how long the process will take. and i'm jane that and this is al-jazeera life and hausa coming up the brakes a divide why a british minister's resignation just ahead of a series of concerts in parliament. and the justice department just made it difficult for victims of domestic violence to claim asylum in the u.s. .

it was a moment the world's been waiting for the moment donald trump and kim jong un finally met for their first handshake their promise to leave the past behind with talk of denuclearization and security guarantees but specifics so hard to come by in a summit high on symbolism edge and brown reports from singapore. no one was sure quite what to expect from the summit really serious challenge to. this country with just the good news they seem to get on about as expected u.s. president donald trump and the north korean leader kim jong il signed a deal vague on details it says the united states and north korea will work towards denuclearization but missing the words verified and irreversible at a news conference trump was pressed on that saying he now trusts the north korean

leader it does take a long time to you know pull off completely nuclearization who takes a long time science. typically you have to wait certain periods of time and a lot of things happen but despite that once you start the process it means it's pretty much over can't use and that's the good news and that's going to start very very soon i believe it's going to start very soon we will do it as fast as it can mechanically and physically be done in the meantime sanctions will remain but trump said the regular exercises between the military's of south korea and the u.s. would end but again no specifics or mention of a peace treaty either act one in this diplomatic drama that began almost five hours earlier with a handshake that may have changed the course of history. u.s. president donald trump said he'd know within a minute of meeting him if he'd get on with it so this was the moment he began

sizing him up. the start perhaps of an improbable relationship in probable times to nuclear armed leaders one of whom a real estate developer and reality t.v. star the other an international pariah it's going on or. you will have. to plan their speaking through an interpreter kim said the way here had not been easy for. the old practices and prejudices worked against this but we are here now. their day started at nine am local time in singapore prime time viewing in the united states. the two leaders were joined by their official if the two sides stick to what they've agreed here will be many more meetings in the garden all seemed amicable as the two leaders strolled in talk together and there was something trump was keen for kim to see the inside of his official limousine

known as the beast both leaders will feel they've got something out of this summit each gets the prestige of meeting the other kim gets to appear committed to denuclearize ation while trump may yet be credited as being the first u.s. president to bring peace to the korean peninsula the deal makes no mention either of north korea's harsh human rights history you know this is a fundamental freedom this is a principle of human existence and you know for donald trump to say that kim jong un is now a nice guy when he's got one hundred twenty thousand people in gulags in the mountains is just not a few diplomatic encounters have been so eagerly anticipated the question now is whether all this will prove to be a little more than just a series of photo opportunities a dream brown al-jazeera singapore south korean president's main j.n. says he hopes the summit will usher in a new era among the two koreas and the united states moon has championed the

meeting and often acted as a mediator is vowing to write a new history with pyongyang from a pride reports from seoul. south korean president moon j.n. watched with members of his cabinet as the summit got underway his smile one of deep satisfaction. this was the culmination of friendly engagement that he started months earlier. i long with all our people sincerely hope that it will be a successful summit that will open a new era of complete the nuclear isolation piece and the new relationship between south korea north korea and the united states understatement later from the president's office praised what moon called the courage of the u.s. and north korean leaders even the. building upon the agreement reached today we will take a new path going forward leaving the dark days of one conflict behind we will write

a new chapter of peace and cooperation we will be there together with north korea along the way when moon met kim at the landmark summit that paved the way for this meeting viewing figures peaked at thirty four percent almost the same number watched kim meet with trump people in seoul following events thousands of kilometers away that could shape the relationship with their fractious neighbor fifty kilometers to the north. america with what i thought looking at meeting reunification is not far off. non-negative. so let's see what's going on. can you condone when you actually condone and has a different open mindset compared with his father and grandfather that in previous declarations to denuclearize were made with kim's pretty decisive only to end in failure and some north korea watchers a warning against over optimism sometimes it looks i would say in slightly comical to see their exit derated expectations and of course our public is going to be

sometimes it's very strange to see how files say for what what what have been happening here for decades and will happen again and again and again. deeply skeptical of north korea's intentions is japan japanese prime minister shinzo was visiting singapore's neighbor miller. asia he fears any deal which forces north korea to give up longer range missiles but allows it to keep weapons that can reach japan singapore on the but historic summit is taking place right now in singapore i wish this some excess and hope it brings progress to the issue of nuclear missiles it's not only people in south korea who've been following events closely north koreans have also been seeing carefully crafted news coverage of their leader in singapore president trump will be able to sell this agreement as a major win the kim jong un explaining to his people how he has just signed the deal with his country sworn enemy will take

a lot tact bright al-jazeera so china says the trump kim summit creates a new history foreign minister wang a hazard full denuclearization on the peninsula emphasizing that china will play an important role in that process. so. the u.s. and north korea have been contradictory and even hostile to each other for more than half a century today the fact that the two leaders can sit together and conduct equal dialogue itself has a major and positive significance and is creating a new history with china of course supports it because this is exactly what we look forward to and what we have been endeavoring for we hope the leaders of the two countries will get rid of interferences overcome difficulties and will be able to reach a basic consensus on the denuclearization of the peninsula bill richardson is a former u.s. governor and former united states ambassador to the u.n. he says there was very little substance when it came to denuclearization. i think

that the tone was good the diplomacy the dialogue was good personal connection but very short on specifics on denuclearization on missile testing on a peace treaty not enough on human rights so mixed on the area of substance and denuclearization because the north koreans they'd never commit the go shared with they never say yes or no. positive in the tone the reduction of tension on the peninsula i was concerned that there wasn't more in the communique about verification about international inspections about north korea declaring their inventory of missiles and nuclear weapons there was no mention of that if that doesn't happen in a potential negotiation an agreement with the north koreans the north koreans are going to do what they've done before with the past two agreements they're going to slide by and not disclose and not fulfill their commitment so that concerns me but

we don't know kim jong loon and he's not like his father or grandfather he may have a grand vision where he feels that he's negotiating at a level when his military capacity is the strongest right now and maybe he's able to make some concessions but he's not going to denuclearize completely a senior member of the u.k. government has resigned over the cabinets approach to breaks it out as before a key part of mentioned debate that if any a minister in the justice department stepped down just before the lower house of parliament is to consider they to slates of amendments to the u.k. was jewel plan include a controversial proposal to give parliament a final vote on whether to accept the eventually break up deal with the european union don't see joins me live from london lawrence what's of impact is this likely to have on the votes in the political price is underway. well it's a bit difficult to tell exactly what one person in the middle of the government it

doesn't have anything like a convincing majority anyway at the best of times but it does indicate that there is a lot of concern apparently is not the only one who's having these sort of thoughts about what's a mess the government has got in soup because you know the it is this sense that the government says it doesn't have a clear trajectory. and it doesn't really want parliament to the same times will be see what sort of deal is going to get in the end while the british media over here a poring over the intricate detail of the fifteen votes that are going to happen over the course is often in some morrow if you look at it from above what i think all these agonized debate demonstrates is a country that hof that wants a completely different course a beloved donald trump in many ways wants a break everything is totally over again and the other has absolutely horrified about that idea and so you have a situation for example where conservative policy. who wants parliament to be able

to oversee the deal the government gets with the european union in the end they in this adverts in the paper here look they call bricks and heroes these are the conservative politicians who want to be given a final say on what has a right to call heroes here but if you read the say the son of the e-mail or the bricks are supporting tabloids these people will be called traitors. for others it just demonstrates the incredible scale of the rifts inside inside the political scene here and indeed in society more generally about about the direction things are going in the complete lack of certainty about the course of the u.k. is currently heading it is because. seven of research in breaks is heartened by what's the feeling then i mean do they still support what's going on are they feeling that same general confusion. well it is a good question really i mean if you look at i think some of the polling it seems

to time and straight that for all the agony this that's happening politically the moment or the lack of direction people are still more or less where they would be full people who wanted to leave still want to leave when they just won the government to get on with it people who don't will not like this fellow bellamy making all this noise he wants to stay and his mind hasn't been changed either and so people's positions haven't changed but i think everybody has in common is that they totally fed up with the government not being able to make a decision one way or the other and the key complaints against the reason may the prime minister is she has one off of a government that wants to get out quickly and the other ones to keep some sort of deal with the european union and she won't take a side she keeps flip flopping between the two and say well look i'm talking to you . without getting anywhere and the european union saying they're going just say something please just give us a position that we can told you about and it just goes on and on and on and there was supposed to be a position by the european council some of them to choose that's now not going to happen to have been pushed back until july and it's going to push back. on with

a special leave the your opinion next march it's just this so that if this must be the birth of a different a new country is taking a very very long time and some. thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera the plight of the rank at refugee grows even worse as the monsoon season arrives we look at the battle to the beautiful game in twenty twenty six ahead of the upcoming fifa world cup. had it started raining again in hong kong which is no big surprise admittedly above that the white top players the that's the heaviest rain have been drifting in this general direction out of the west having had a couple of days off and it's society's core i think where you'll see most of the rain on both wednesday and thursday it really looks like it's going to concentrate

on thursday that it's largely dry right up to sichuan from dues warming up to about thirty three degrees and shanghai is in the sunshine at thirty the monsoon further west and we are talking about the same sort of line really has been really falling heavily as it burst into bangladesh and these northeast of india's been out for the last couple of weeks but this is the line of proper rain that is gone further south in india there it is all way up the western gas but it's been falling particularly over the refugee camps and unfortunately that causes landslides now that we do about it sees no rain and it would of course start its journey northwards having taken a step or two back the next couple of days it does if it comes in that and pulses ahead of it the pretty monsoon heat it's quite extraordinary it should not be forty four new delhi it's forty four humid degrees as well which is rather unpleasant it's equally hot but much drier around the gulf forty four is the forecast again for doha.

but it made me repeat my story generate thousands of headlines cooperation with different angles from different perspectives we. this is the only evidence that russia was responsible for this separate the spin from the facts that's why on god's nature is the misinformation from the journalism be issues here go far beyond one data mining company and one election with the listening post on al-jazeera. and they get their mind of the top stories on al-jazeera donald trump and kim jong

un have signed what the us president described as a comprehensive joint document as they wrapped up their summit in singapore the document includes a call for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. after the summit trump said the u.s. would hold joint military exercises with south korea calling them a provocation the city's top of kin had been honest direct and productive but they'll need a second meeting. u.k. justice minister philip levy has resigned over the cabinets approach to breaks it hours before key parliamentary debates parliament is considering multiple amendments to the u.k. withdrawal plan with fifteen separate votes in two days. the u.s. will no longer give asylum to immigrants escaping domestic abuse and gang violence attorney general jeff sessions refuse asylum to salvadoran woman whose husband raped and beaten for fifteen years immigration rights groups criticized the

decision saying it could harm women and families bill fairly because the refugee rights program director and this is what he had to say on the human rights watch. many people are not granted asylum and what that actually shows is that there already is in place a very careful consideration of the cylon plans to make sure that people really have suffered the severe kind of the use that this woman from the south of that suffered and sober husband and most importantly that the government did not protect them that she time and time again asked for the police to protect her and they didn't do so she had no choice but to flee the country and she came here seeking protection she's been denied that protection now hopefully it will be overturned later in the courts that this is a the message that's coming out combined with the prosecution of people for crossing the border without authorization the separation of children from their

parents or while their parents are being detained and prosecuted for illegal entry and now combined with and we won't grant your asylum claim at the end of the day either these are messages that are hitting like a sledgehammer of people who are already traumatized who don't have options inside their own countries to be protected and are seeking protection from the united states the french president has described its unease refusal to allow a migrant rescue ship to dock as irresponsible the m.v. aquarius run by the charity essayists made to any is carrying six hundred twenty nine people who were picked up off the navy and coast more than one hundred on board unaccompanied minors span agreed to accept a vessel off it was rejected by both malta and its any china has an atheist from rome. an increasingly difficult situation for the six hundred twenty nine people on board the rescue vessel m s aquarius they've been on board for four days now many

of them since saturday in the searing mediterranean heat at this time of year many of them up on deck under the sun m.s.f. the other n.g.o.s doctors without borders runs this ship says it's worried about the health of some of them some of them we're told had to be resuscitated during difficult rescue operations over the weekend others have toxic skin burns from contact with ship fuel in the water during their crossing from libya there are unaccompanied minors a large number of them children and pregnant women as well and of course they now face the prospect of a voyage three to four days long from their holding position in international waters now off to the eastern spanish port of valentia we understand that some italian naval and coast guard vessels will make contact with the aquarius and the company at taking some of those people on board perhaps to make more space to make more comfortable conditions in what is going to be a difficult crossing there a storm warnings out in the mediterranean that could create waves of up to two

metres it's going to be hard hard going and in the meantime of course the italian government here that's the italian government building behind me steadfastly keeping to its position no n.-g. o. boat like the aquarius or others operating in the mediterranean will be allowed to dock in italian ports from now on this government takes the view that italy will no longer be the refugee camp of europe's monsoon rains have arrived in southern bangladesh home to nearly one million rangar refugees from me and my preparations began in february to protect them from flooding and landslides ahead of the annual rainy season but in the first major downpours two refugees died in cox's bazaar and fifteen hundred settlements were damaged or destroyed as china bennis reports. this is the largest refugee camp in the world and this is its first major test. against nature. the monsoon season has begun in crews of a long campaign in the last three days four hundred millimeters of rain has fallen

the joint us canada mexico bid succeeds it'll be the first time the tournament will be hosted in three different countries and as governor of arizona reports it's an ambitious plan but one with drawbacks. a football party just as good as the promotional video promise is that's what the united states mexico and canada are saying together they're bidding to jointly host the two thousand and twenty six world cup it would be the first time three countries simultaneously host world football's marquee attraction the bid has three key strengths experience mexico and the u.s. have both hosted world cups before and canada received high praise for its smooth organization well hosting the women's world cup three years ago and there's money u.s. canada mexico option promises a record eleven billion in profits more than double the other world cup and size

two thousand and twenty six will be the first world cup to expand from thirty two to forty eight teams in the north american say a bigger tournaments calls for bigger hosts we want to focus on the game we're ready made and our cities are prepared to host today the u.s. mexico canada bit does have a lot of a lot of the bases covered but in recent memory you know england's bid for instance had a lot of those same strengths and fifa gave the world cup to cutter which you know we. no it's going to have to build a lot of stadiums. there are potential drawbacks the big calls for canada and mexico to host ten games each sixty matches would be played in the u.s. that an even distribution has left some feeling the tournaments would be too u.s. focused. the official name of the bid is united twenty twenty six perhaps ironic considering the potential host nations are anything but united right now

u.s. president donald trump has disparaged mexicans on multiple occasions and continues to talk about building a border wall separating the two countries relations between the u.s. and canada are rocking as well with both countries threatening a trade war over tariffs but it is signing ceremony last year soccer chiefs from the three countries seemed unconcerned saying the bid is about sports and not politics but it still could prove for some awkward moments a tournament that promises to be the biggest and best ever north america hoping the world agrees that three countries are better than one givers on zita new york. bid to host the twenty twenty six world cup fifth attempt football is on a high in the country right now with a national team qualifying for russia twenty eighteen however the political factors could derail their bid. reports from rabat.

all you need is a football and the place to play in the neighborhoods of robots in iraq and capital it can be in a back yard a patch of waste ground or the street everybody it seems is a football fan this year enthusiasm is greater than ever with morocco at the world cup finals for the first time in twenty years and with an eye on the future morocco's bit into stage a tournament in twenty twenty six. the shot lobbied me learn so low i think will win the day it will be ready to organize the world cup done little to none what a bundle of community i think we can organize the world cup but if is voting process makes me skeptical. morocco is facing not one open and but three to win the rights to host the world cup in two thousand and twenty six it's competing against a joint bit from the united states canada and mexico it needs to secure the votes

of a majority of members of the sport's governing body fifa head that the swedes say. there are a lot of geo strategic considerations in the voting for instance that morocco will not be winning all that it's only for african affairs because of some political issues we have with some southern african countries and with it there's also the ties in the pressures of the americans on some arabic and islamic states with. morocco is planning to invest sixteen billion dollars if it gets the go ahead to stage the world cup six new stadia would be built and six existing ones to renovate it to comply with standards and in a country with just one times over the longest trip between the host cities will be a seventy five minutes flight this is the fifth time morocco is britain for the holstein rights to the football world cup they're calling it the dream of a nation they now hope members would share that dream. i do whatever i.

robot. and we take you through the top stories donald trump and kim jong un have signed what the u.s. president described as a comprehensive joint document as they wrapped up their summit in singapore both the u.s. and north korea speccing optimism about the outcome the document includes a call for the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula didn't. look so good today we had a historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind and sign an historic document the world will see a major change i would like to express my gratitude to mr donald trump for making this meeting happen after the summit trump said the u.s. would halt joint military exercises with south korea calling them a provocation he said his talks with kim had been honest direct and productive but

they'll need a second meeting. the past does not have to define the future yesterday's conflict does not have to be tomorrow's war and as history has proven over and over again adversaries can indeed become friends we can honor the sacrifice of our forefathers by replacing the horrors of battle with the blessings of peace and that's what we're doing and that's what we have done hundreds of migrants stranded on board a rescue ship in the mediterranean will be transferred to tallinn but it's before heading to the spanish port of valencia the aquarius run by the charity s.a.'s mediterranean is carrying six hundred twenty nine people who were rescued off the libyan coast the boats being turned away by both italy and malta. u.s. attorney general has ruled that immigrants scaping domestic abuse and gang violence no longer be given asylum in the united states jeff sessions refused asylum to

i am feeling ok and i'm really could be here in the stream now live on you tube today a show page by you out on like me to say well look at china's so-called reeducation camps for muslim leaders and in uganda attacks on social media. every day on twitter and facebook we asked for your story ideas and you deliver it our first segment was pitched to us from uganda to uganda mike he talks about an order from the president to tax social networks and then can have a poor schools they simply the social media tax in uganda starting in july uganda will tax its citizens two hundred to shellings and that's about five u.s. cents per day for using social media networks including what's app.
