hello again from doha on come on santa maria this is the world news from just zero there is relief for thousands fleeing venezuela's economic crisis as a court in ecuador suspends restrictions blocking their entry. and in zimbabwe celebrations and calls for unity is the highest court in the land holds president emerson manning was election. for the u.s. president it wasn't supposed to be this way don't trump has now acknowledged problems for the first time with the outcome of his denuclearization deal with north korea's leader and he's blaming china in june trump was criticized for signing what many saw as a vague agreement with kim jong un he had then said north korea was no longer a nuclear threat but in the months since satellite photos of shown were continuing

at known north korean nuclear sites so came out a series of tweets from cities postponing a trip planned by peo to pyongyang supposed to happen next week this is what he tweeted i have asked secretary of state might prompt him not to go to north korea at this time because i feel we're not making sufficient progress with respect to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula additionally because of our much tougher trading stance with china i do not believe they are helping with the process of denuclearization as they once were despite the un sanctions which are in place in the meantime i would like to send my warmest regards and respect to chairman kim i look forward to seeing him so share tansey wraps it all up from washington d.c. . just a few days ago doldrum been pretty upbeat about negotiations with north korea telling reuters that pyongyang had taken steps towards denuclearization the missile testing had stalled and he was looking forward to another summit with north korea

however house to be said mike compares last trip to north korea was a bit of a disaster by many accounts kim dragoon even snubbing pompei or there was a great deal of pressure for something tangible to come out of this one from more hawkish people around him john bolton his national security advisor for example but it is striking in these tweets but it's still very diplomatic very respectful towards chairman kim and he says he still does want a summit to take place at some point in the future i spoke to chris garcia last hour he's the c.e.o. of victim financial but he's also the former deputy director with the u.s. department of commerce under president trump he told us the trade relationship with china will be foremost in the minds of u.s. representatives. these negotiations take time and time is our friend we are we have north korea contained we want to make sure that they continue with with specific concrete steps the first priority for the united states is china china and

renegotiation of our trading relationship with china is the most important priority for the president and certainly the most important priority for the world as we look at as we look at the global financial markets so this and i certainly do not mean to reduce the importance in any way or. say anything about the north korea talks in that they're not important but the priority has to be china and those renegotiations first because that is the significant negotiation that will have much much greater effect we do have north korea contained and frankly with secretary pompei o just appointing the new special envoy to north korea we're going to be in a much better negotiating position after after we see how we work these details out with north korea in the back room. and the still no trump used federal prosecutors in the us have granted immunity to the chief financial officer of

donald trump's business empire. is also a treasure of trump's charitable foundation he is being questioned as part of an investigation into michael cohen trump's former personal lawyer who pleaded guilty on tuesday to breaking campaign finance laws and of course crucially accuse the president of directing him to do so cohen is now assisting the special investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen election eleven beisel that has worked for the trump family for more than four decades he is executive vice president of the trump organization he has been the chief financial officer very teen years he's also a treasurer of trump all the trump family's charitable foundation which is also being investigated by the state of new york meanwhile on thursday david pecker of the national enquirer has published it was also given immunity he is linked to the michael cohen case which involves hush money paid to women who allegedly had affairs with donald trump if you can keep up with all of that we spoke to a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general who says granting immunity will help the

prosecutors learn more about just what's happened. first of all it is an absolute crime for a corporation to make any contribution to a political campaign they can't spin one cent providing that assistance directly to a candidate and so granting immunity based upon the public record that seems as though substantial sums were paid from the trump corporation to pay off or to reimburse mr cohen for payments made to these the porn stars or the playboy bunny for the purpose of influencing the outcome of the election so that being a campaign contribution and that is what basically muster cohen is already pled guilty to the corporation is equally guilty including those who operate the corporation will grant immunity because under the united states constitution unlike

in great britain there is a so-called fifth amendment that enable someone to remain silent in the face of questioning if they believe an answer could incriminate themselves or their close company in crime but by granting immunity now they will compel a complete confession of whether and how in the circumstances in which these payments were made. to other news and a judge in ecuador has suspended the recently imposed entry restrictions for venezuelans fleeing the deepening economic and political crisis earlier this month ecuador announced that defendants whalen's needed to have a valid passports to get him but the court order means them now be allowed in with just their id cards that's for the next forty five days earlier ecuador opened a humanitarian corridor for venezuelans trying to get through to peru and chile money on a sun chairs with the latest from. wear ties are interesting for venezuelans will be enforced in a few hours' time. a tribunal in quito the capital if it well that has lifted the
