1:06 pm
a nuclear free korean financial kim jong also says he plans to visit seoul probably before the end of the year. and made the remarks on the second day of their three day summit and pyongyang. china is imposing levies on another sixty billion dollars of american made and the move comes after u.s. president donald trump announced increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of chinese products trump says he's open to talking to beijing but won't let it take advantage of the u.s. and rescue teams in the northern philippines are continuing their search for survivors of a massive landslide at the mining town of gone and then get problems many locals have been sheltering from typhoon man court when the landslide happened. well let's get more on our top story now the deal between north and south korea joining us from seoul. is the. korea exposé very good to have you with us on al-jazeera
1:07 pm
so you of course watch all the developments on the potential a very closely what do you make of the new agreement and especially what it says about denuclearize ation was there anything new in it for you absolutely i think there is something new here of course this is not the deal that many people had hoped for and perhaps this is not the deal that america had wanted to see if there's not actually say that north korea is going to disclose a full list of its nuclear facilities however there are some very important details for example destroying or shutting down the engine testing so i.c.b.m. launch that is an important gesture one that was actually alluded to by mr trump during the press conference after the singapore summit back in june not only that north korea seems to be agreeing to permanently shut their own yongbyon nuclear facilities and this is a highly symbolic site for north korea's nuclear development one that was sealed
1:08 pm
for some time back in two thousand and seven so it would be a huge move forward if the promises are actually kept and the said that all of these measures will be dependent on the u.s. doing its part so what will the north want from the u.s. as well as that calling an end an official end to the korean war that they've been asking for. you know before that i think it's important to point out not everything depends on the u.s. at this point north korea has offered to shut down the missile testing and launch without any condition at least according to what i heard during the press conference after that yes the ball is back in the u.s. is court and north korea would probably want washington to finally commit to the clear and to the korean war which is very much seen as a precursor to ending the korean war and signing the peace treaty we also heard from president that he hopes that north korea and the u.s.
1:09 pm
can continue their talks do you think that the summit has paved the way for that. that is a good question i think if north korea had actually come out and done what everybody had wanted to do which is disclosing its nuclear facilities then things would have been much easier you could actually see that things are not going to be too easy when mr moon came out of the meeting room this morning at about eleven am he looked somewhat troubled by what had happened and in fact he's going to have to sell this agreement now to washington and hope that it's going to be enough to convince mr trump and the administration to proceed then return to dialogue and what is hard to say and what about china's role in all of this kind of any deed nuclearization be possible without china given how much leverage it has with north korea and will it use continue to use that leverage to pressure the north if the u.s. continues its trade for. that's
1:10 pm
a very good question also because in fact china has shown some signs of backing away from the peninsula for years in the last few weeks mr kim kim jong il and actually even invited mr xi jinping the chinese president to come and attend the celebration of north korea's founding on september ninth and that did not exactly happen many people believe it shows that north korea china is wavering some wide especially given the trade war that is going on between itself and the u.s. at the moment it does not want to create additional trouble by being seen as extorting too much influence on north korea at the moment let's just say it's always great to get your thoughts thank you for your time. now russian president vladimir putin says a tragic chain of circumstances led to the downing of a russian military plane by syria was an effort to calm tensions after russia's
1:11 pm
defense ministry accused israel of course of the incident or challenge reports from moscow. amidst the confusion of monday night's israeli air strikes inside syria there was an unforeseen consequence. syria's air defense units trying to hit israeli f. sixteen fighter jets instead hits a russian electronic surveillance plane the ill twenty mark the one shown here fell into the mediterranean killing all fifteen russian servicemen on board. russia's defense ministry is furious blaming israel for what it is calling hostile actions because there's just been some of the israeli pilots were using the russian aircraft as a shield and pushed it into the line of fire of the syrian defenses as a result the aircraft which has a much more effective reflecting surface then the israeli jets was brought down by the missile defense system israeli aviation management on the pilots of the f. sixteen jets most have seen the russian aircraft as it was landing from the height
1:12 pm
of five kilometers however they have done a provocation deliberately. in moscow israeli diplomats were summoned to the foreign ministry and difference minister sure who protested to his is ready counterpart have a door lieberman on the phone. asked about the incident as a news conference with the hungary and prime minister vladimir putin took a softer line and. in this case of course i would like to offer my deep condolences to the relatives of those who died speaking of your comparison to the case when a turkish fighter jet downed plane this was a different situation then the turkish jet deliberately downed our plane in this case on the other hand it looks like a chain of tragic. because an israeli jet did not down on. the different. in tone between the russian ministry of defense and vladimir putin suggest the russian president is satisfied that the point has been made and that this chain of tragic
1:13 pm
circumstances as he put it shouldn't risk what has hitherto been a pretty good working relationship between russia and israel the israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that prime minister netanyahu expressed his sorrow over the death of russian soldiers and said that syria was responsible for the downfall of the plane he also noted the significance of the continuation of security coordination between israel and russia that has prevented many losses of lives on both sides over the last three years at the moment need a leader seems willing to allow this incident to upset the status quo or a challenge how does iran moscow. but his promise to theresa may is heading to a gathering all the e.u. leaders in austria on wednesday to try to show up support for her plan for breakfast one major stumbling block a big germany lansley explains if there is a city in europe which signifies muscular success and power in munich it surely is
1:14 pm
the economy of the region that the varia is bigger than all but five countries in the whole european union. german exports to britain were worth tens of billions of dollars last year a messy bricks it with no plan could cost the germans a lot so people are worried they also think that britain should be. is in danger so relation of it to say a polite and as he also calls a big big burden of bureaucracy simply supplementation to make a surge between our members and this is the estimate of the costs of this broker suber b. fifty two hundred million every year plus. and if they move production to a different european country they wouldn't have this problem maybe. when to resume a pitch he said deal to the european union on thursday the central aim is to persuade them that goods like cars could still move through open borders every
1:15 pm
other freedom like the movements of people would end and that's the sticking point in britain there's a growing assumption that the european union's about say a vein on all its demands for freedom of movement of everything in order to strike a bargain over breakfast we buy all the german cars say the brits it has of course the germans want to make this work well maybe that's true but maybe it isn't. the view from the german bricks department is that in the end it would be preferable to let britain fall off a cliff and force germany to find new export markets and sobre europe's cherished rules and freedom of movement they think the u.k.'s quite important but no more than that there are much more important markets is especially for german casts its first and foremost china where we sell i think one third of all german cars it's the united states and other countries as well and so the
1:16 pm
pritish market is one of the german export markets as it stands germany is largely content and britain can't stop arguing with itself there's a general sense in germany that britain is having a meltdown is asleep at the wheel driving the wrong way down the road soon it will have to become clear who is right lawrence lee al-jazeera munich. doesn't bob when our way opposition politicians walked out parliament on tuesday during president emerson mongul was first sight of the nation address following a disputed election how to toss a report from her body yet. just minutes into prison in a similar state of the nation address opposition m.p.'s walked out in protest this same man and july's election and blamed his administration for many of the country's problems including a cholera outbreak these day and age of the twenty fifth. our country is really

1:19 pm
probably before the end of the year and made the remarks on the second day of the three day summit in pyongyang. over the past decades confrontation and hostility described military relations but with this new agreement we agreed to make the korean peninsula a killer free area through various measures to that in exchanges in many areas and levels and communications are going to help our hard work for the reunification. china's imposing levies on another sixty billion dollars of american made items the move comes after u.s. president donald trump announced increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of chinese products trump says he is open to talking to beijing but won't let it take advantage of the u.s. we're doing a very good job with china and china has been taking advantage of the united states for a long time and that's not happening anymore we can't let that happen and i have
1:20 pm
a great relationship with president xi he's a friend of mine but we can't you know i've been telling him we can't let it happen so we may make a deal at some point but right now we just impose two hundred billion dollars or twenty five percent and if there's a retaliation against our farmers and our industrial workers our ranchers if any of that goes on we're going to kick in another two hundred fifty seven billion dollars rescue teams in the north and for the pains are continuing their search for survivors of a massive landslide typhoon man could hit the mining town of it about and then get problems many locals have been sheltering from the typhoon when the landslide happened russian president vladimir putin is trying to calm tensions after hours of accusations over the downing of a russian military plane by syria putin says the incident seems like a tragic accident but added that israel's air force was breaching serious sovereignty with its operations the stream is up next.
1:21 pm
it is a very important source of information for many people around the world all the time right or wrong i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going to talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. ok and your industry the killing of a young woman has fueled a debate over the so-called sugar all sponsor relationships both at home and across the african continent imo it could be a lot of all look at the dynamics around these partnerships and consider why they're so popular send us your thoughts via twitter and our you tube channel. justice for shall and that's the demand that thousands of people across kenya
1:22 pm
making online off the brutal murder of a twenty six year old woman in the southwest of the country. no was a second year student in a so-called sponsored relationship with. a county governor he allegedly supported her financially in exchange for a partnership but when sharon then a journalist sought an explanation as to why obama would not support her unborn child they were abducted by unknown attackers the journalist escaped but sharon was driven away her body was found with multiple stab wounds on september fifth governor abbado denies involvement in the murder and investigation is ongoing news of staff was met with widespread revulsion across kenya. member of parliament tweeted that those responsible should be held accountable however almighty while on a stick said no person deserves the death that sharon suffered but not all opinions were respectful of sharon's memory some tweeted that what happened to us. erin
1:23 pm
should serve as a lesson to other women in sponsor relationships others asked why they should pity sharon for not focusing on education the case has highlighted the complexities and just outright race within consensual partnerships where one party gets money or property to the other person in exchange for sex or companionship so today when i talked to three guests about why people maintain these relationships when the kenyan capital nairobi we have. and she is a journalist and filmmaker who has recently examined sponsor relationships in kenya for the b.b.c. in johannesburg south africa we have jackie promotes there she is a social activist and the author of bare the blasters game right here in our studio we have karen kaz and lucas she's the host of the spread that's a podcast examining sex and relationships so before we go very much ladies i need to point out to everybody who's watching and following that this is a mature conversation for a mature audience welcome everybody to
1:24 pm
a mature conversation with the work community is ready to have this conversation they've been having it already online so with that i want to share a video comment we got from our freelance journalist in nairobi this is beatrice and here's what she had to say joined in the planning for the. respect for justice will sharon because. they believe that mudder should not be. mothers in the last three years of young girls between the ages of nineteen and dying next to prominent politicians to the type of justice. that introduced them. to the normalization of this mother. in law to believe clinician. embrace the sponsorship. so. sharon murder and her killing was really the spark that started a lot of these conversations that we're seeing online today here is beatrice's take
1:25 pm
away from it that we are focusing on the wrong thing and people online are focusing on the wrong thing what's your takeaway i disagree it when i have been to sharon is terrible and he knows and. important that we carried out and really sponsible should you know report but at the same time i don't think that should teach had a great conversation about something that is a thank you know a lot of people across the continent on sugardaddy relationships all over people know that they're you know it makes people uncomfortable but that's not a reason to to talk about it side i disagree in the sense that you know i think people should be embracing the conversation i think a lot of people how concerned about it what happens to the girls in these relationships but if you don't embrace the conversation how do you actually then tackle who's going how do you then reach girls like sharon. first of all i'd like
1:26 pm
to pass my condolences to the family of sharon are. deeply saddened by this news but i think it's a very important conversation but i also feel like in nairobi these conversations are being had so it's almost like good morning would you like a cup of coffee what did your sponsor do for you yesterday it's a very common. at the hairdressers or at the nail salon a lot of these women are talking about getting sponsors a lot of these women talk about the things that they have received from their sponsors so it's just almost from a more positive like have a sponsor angle as opposed to what are you doing to be safe in these instances and how can we have conversations about safety regarding you know these kind of relationships. jackie bringing you into the conversation where you surprised that there was a morality conversation going all around what was basically the murder of a young woman who was expecting a child. whatever old you would say that in most of these cases when women
1:27 pm
go into relationships people tend to judge despite of the nature it does not matter if he dates old or young or in media but as soon as that investigation is brought up on the table they will not one to say look at the perpetrator as they would change to the table and say well what was she doing while i see dating the older man forgetting that they once complained. and then there was a social responsibility as well and you look at how history has put paid itself and has paid itself out job they get is i mean polygamous marriages are known to african it's not a new thing the question is how it was now this relationship leading up to that it wasn't even a possibility if you look at what i know from the governor's interview the press conference he had mine was that the men showed no remorse he could not
1:28 pm
even allows them to question him about the context of the relationship or that the public understands who's involvement with the girls so that it takes over the situation and what i looked at as well is that she was with child she was pregnant so the woman also aside you would like to judge people on the choices they make in terms of the relationship will get to that this was not just a give and take they were about to has a family do or create something and it was not a situation where she was not getting educated she was in university so when people say things like she should have focused on education who does not fall in love in high school or even university you know who does not have a relationship in university so we take this to go the moral high pulled wind. go wrong but. you know human being.
1:29 pm
but not. what. they might be. jackie you mentioned so many things that i want to touch on but i will just hold it in one to one you mention the governor's press conference and i want to share their audience just in case they're not aware governor abbado held a press conference. from kenyon's dot seo dot on the murder he said he would do what he could to assist in the probe and he said he was distressed this so that is what you were referencing there but you mentioned this being two adults and also in turning into victim blaming this is wicked that's their handle they say the mixed reactions to sharon's death say more about what our society think of women than it does of sponsor culture some even went so far as to blaming the murder victim for her death what this says about the larger sentiment toward sponsor culture is that the only that only the women are castigated but these relationships have two
1:30 pm
consenting parties that benefit cause i want to give this to you two parties involved in this so this always happens and especially now with a lot of access to social media in any kind of relationship that involves a man and a woman if something goes wrong if for example somebody leaks something or if it's a relationship like a sponsor in a sponsor the situation and something goes wrong the woman always gets blamed so that's the sad part about it is that it's women who are shaming other women and i mean first of all i feel like as a culture we need to get away from like she had said earlier our moral high ground we need to get away from shaming other women and just allowing people to do what they want if they're adopting if they're consenting adults allowing them to do what they want with their bodies and to make their own choices in the relationships that they have as it's so interesting that you said that because our nairobi bureau team went out. stay to ask people what do you feel about sponsor.
1:31 pm
relationships and this is what some of them told us have a look. i think. so it's everyone's choice. it's not in. me it's just depends on you doing it i would never do that because this is the more i looked you might have been brought up but it just it's not it's not where. i think we should judge to push or do we want to do if you're into good sports or different sports. it's very shameful. here because you are degrading yourself. you don't give in yourself you. exchanging money. all the got a. full. it doesn't really make sense. i get is ending i was shaman god all in
1:32 pm
the same sentence let me show you some of the work that nash's been doing. cooperation with the b.b.c. sex and the sugar daddy looks three women's stories and car a fight very clearly what this idea of a sponsor is what are they supposed to do a rich man who lavish gifts on a young woman in return for sexual favors also known as a blessing or a sugar daddy matter how common did you find this to be. and most people i met with around kenya. coast all the way to us in kenya where one of the characters was that everyone could tell me that they knew someone with the story with a well uncle who was involved in a once relationship or their name or a student that they went to school with or a coworker the story is a common it's just that people don't really want to talk about it and when you look at the research that was conducted by the sari center that look specifically at universities you know and you know they found that twenty percent of the girls that
1:33 pm
at one point in time or current the they had had had a relationship so i think that those numbers and just my experience of talking to people not just in nairobi also rule community did reflect that it is more common than people like to be i want to share a tweet from someone else to another organization that has talked to people this is price of silence a tweet and we have worked with women in these relations most specifically stateless women in nairobi who use these relationships as a means of survival and legitimacy how can a relationship be equitable when it's constructed upon an imbalanced power dynamic so there is one thought there on the other hand though we got a comment this is just minutes ago live on you tube their actual handle is for real and they write a woman can either be a poor man's slave or an old man's dollar and i choose to be a doll jackie. what can you tell us about that type of thinking.
1:34 pm
and i want people have different opinions when it comes to the. young women are really struggling and are trying to find solutions to the problem whether it's getting too we should providing for a family. they fight and i'm supposed to be the sugar daddy phenomena happens to be the easiest way to to get because men are on the team for goals that can into came them that can all those offer them services. and they had some kind of social power or money or influence in their communities and sometimes for women you would see that it is a quick get up from whatever situation they can gauge and they will see when they are in those relationships then you have the power struggles. the woman becomes the
1:35 pm
victim of the relationship itself whether it's through a killing abuse physical abuse financial abuse emotional abuse or even sometimes conforms to have them consent to sex with the person so if we get comments like the opinions like the. you will see that it's a struggle you know people don't even know where would they get a loaf of bread tomorrow or where will they get they need jobs check out is what the introduction there because i want to make sure that our audience is on the same page that i am on that you know you're speaking to this almost as though you're coming from an anthropological. stance but you have firsthand experience you wrote a book about it about being a sponsor seen. yes i did it. for me it was not on as a case of poverty it was a case of being part of a social circle in an industry i was that i was involved in the fashion industry
1:36 pm
and that was extremely demanding on lifestyle and travel and at that particular time this is not true twenty twelve two thousand and twelve and you would find that it's really difficult to be in such an industry that had so much influential people got together and fashion houses and they they control the whole system and you find yourself being involved with a man who says ok for you to get a cover shoot or to get this you have to do this for me and then you end up being in that type of relationship and through out the years i have found that i have found checking my jacket you mind if i also did you did you know your sponsor with that affection. to work i. know because it was not conventional funding up to begin with because there's a peer relationship we dated for three and
1:37 pm
a half years and then towards the second two years it was cuter transactional because he became abusive so you sort of become detached to the person because abuse comes in it becomes a love hate relationship at the end of the day so sometimes for me let me speak for myself i was in love with him for a year and then when the abuse came in i just saw that at some point it's going to kill me that's why i was so drawn to share the story because i could see that well this probably could have been me at some point. let me just take a pause for a moment i want to play a little clip from the ashes work about sugar daddies and sugar babies and this is grace and she's going prospecting looking for a sponsor to actually fund her lifestyle have a look. at the clock.
1:38 pm
three networks are you. going to look at all you. want to make me cry. because there are many white men and. even black men are thinking of go there and get aboard. the ashes i was going fru your your your piece in the stories in the background stories to the women it felt to me like this was almost like having an extra fund it was like a trust fund so if you're running out of cash and you needed to you know make a video or get some shoes for your little girl or you wanted just so nice clothes to wear call your sponsor and your sponsor will show up with some money that's what it felt like to me it was like an edison will fund a finance fund so it was
1:39 pm
a business deal that was going on here that is going on here. lot of relationships are like that a lot of people say i just need some extra groceries or i can make rent just money can you help me and you give me a little bit of something on the side this is a very common phenomenon i've found that you know people use those to supplement their lives the university student in their school fees but at the same time they're looking to have you know a new phone or they're looking to have an extra something to go buy some clothes and so they are or maybe the equivalent of the few dollars at the end of the month or the equipment one hundred dollars so a lot of people do use this type of my need to supplement their lives some people to the extent that they didn't save the money and going into business knows what it's done by him it will take the money and went in and started. doing something else with the money that would bring for the return and still maintain
1:40 pm
a relationship but just just in case they needed something in case of an emergency . i completely agree with that as well but just going back a little bit further i wanted to talk about the fact that so many people feel like of these interactions only happen because people are in impoverished areas and so that interaction happens between a girl that's trying to make ends meet with a man that's older because he's going to provide food for the family and it's not that's not how it happens it's happening across the board there is women who are come from very wealthy families and have everything that they need but they still want more and this is a flight that's something that i've seen in work is that you may want to bring middle class where you want to be upper class exactly and fly first class and even then there's women who are first class flying first class and business but they still want more where else are to go after first class just there's always more while. for a little while and you know what we haven't talked about i know you go inside and friends who are sponsored to sponsor perspective whereas they are thinking. so i
1:41 pm
feel like a lot of these men want to be seen. in their social circles as having these trophy girlfriends because when they got married they had these beautiful wives and now they're older and i guess they're going through their mid-life crisis and want to be seen with these younger women and i feel a lot of the time that this goes back to. i think it's a conversation we need to discuss the paying of bride price and it's men feeling that they have ownership over women and i think it stems from that culture culturally knowing that men can own women financially if i pay for her she's mine and it's just owning this trophy and for men i feel that's all it is these men are so happy to be in their social circles with the most beautiful girl in town or the most famous girl in town and that's how it works i think it's really nicely with this tweet from their seems to be on the same wavelength he says most of these young girls view those in this blessed lifestyle as role models because money is
1:42 pm

1:58 pm
have proper dental records we've spoken also to the local government who say this is an operation that expected to last for weeks and perhaps months and president of the good that are also remains to be inconsistent with the statement of the government whether to ban illegal small scale mining operation altogether and that is also not going to stop the problem that is because without an alternative employment more than three million people are going to build their jobless this is why despite this danger here in this region a spike this devastation eagle small scale mining operations are still ongoing they are in ignoring danger because they need to earn a living and this is something that the government needs to address the soonest possible. russian president vladimir tension says a tragic chain of circumstances led to the dominance of of russian military planes by syria it was an effort to calm tensions after russia's defense ministry accused israel of course in the incident were a challenge reports from moscow. and which the confusion of monday night's israeli
