human point in the twenty first century they are look we are war climate change and technological destruction facing realities whatever is there to fear is not in me it is in the people of uganda hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. a show of unity south korean president when john returns to solo after a historic meeting with north korea's kim jong. il or them or a client us is al jazeera live from doha also coming up european union leaders discuss new partners in north africa to tackle the issue of migrants arriving on the soil. for malaysia need energy result faces new charges of money laundering and

corruption. plus a display of affection or aggression al-jazeera uncovers the dark truth about the treatment of animals in china's marine parks. after historic three days with north korea's kim jong un the president of south korea is back on home soil. address the nation about the trip to the north he said north korea had asked the south to mediate talks with washington and that camp wants a second summit with the u.s. president donald trump as soon as possible. i shall get your nose since the into korean relationship is in line with the development of the relationship between the u.s. and north korea pyongyang asked us to be the mediator they propose to work closely with south korea as well i think the u.s. should understand the position of north korea and resume the talks as soon as

possible i believe the accomplishments made at the summit this time will lead to the progress option of the talks. now to robert wright is live for us in seoul resisting that move went straight to the media center to make this speech from the airport after his three day trip. that's right laura it was his first stop was basically to try to sell this now to the south korean nation he has come back in confident mood as indeed he should i think people here are generally agreed that this is something of a high point in into korean relations it's difficult to remember a time when relations were as good as this but after the last several days of smiles and handshakes and hugs he's been facing some tough questions just about the details of the kind of deal that he has come back with and also what now lies ahead in this role as the mediator in chief if you like he has repeated in his address

to south korea a lot of what we already know know that we've heard in some of the joint press statements coming out of pyongyang that about north korea's sincerity to the denuclearization process and indeed that kim jong un is very keen for that second summit and also to welcome secretary of state mike pompei o to pyongyang so all of that sounds very good but we're also getting some kind of an indication from from moon just about the kind of gulf that still exists between north korea and the u.s. position when it comes to denuclearization what both sides are expecting we heard for example that was playing up the fact that north korea has offered to do to close down the young beyond nuclear facility which is key to their weapons testing or weapons development but it is still asking for concessions and none was really pushed by journalists at this briefing to say what concessions does north korea

want so you do get an impression that money is privy after this session with kim jong un to north korea's bottom line what they want to see is their position their demands being met but he's not revealing that it seems as though he is taking. that position now to the united states for a meeting next week on the sidelines of the united nations where he will meet with u.s. president donald trump to start the nitty gritty the negotiating between the two to see if he can close the gap so he is very much a man under pressure laura and diden and how much is he's taking his legacy on the success of these talks. interestingly he won the election here not based on his diplomatic skills but as far as people in south korea are concerned on domestic matters the state of the economy and so on but his tenure in office has coincided with this incredible crisis that we've seen over the

past year with north korea's nuclear testing with threats from donald trump and he has stepped into the breach if you like so this is very much his legacy but interestingly his popularity has been slipping recently people here in south korea they live with the north korea question sometimes it's a north korea crisis it goes back from one to the other on a daily basis and actually they are more interested at times in more bread and butter issues the state of the economy jobs house prices and so on so moon does have a hard sell here in trying to keep people on board but i think south koreans generally are still giving him their support but he has the other issue coming up which again he addressed when he was talking to the nation and that's the possibility of kim jong un of north korea visiting seoul that will be extremely interesting again in a year of diplomatic firsts this will be another first but also it presents

a whole set of protocol problems about the kinds of street demonstrations and protests we are going to have that will certainly coincide with that so moon is a busy man and he's set to get a lot busier and interesting times ahead there rob thanks very much for the update from cell. migration and breck's at a high on the agenda of your opinion leaders meeting in austria presidents prime ministers in salzburg trying to convince senior leaders to be flexible about bret's that and the leaders will be meeting with out to me to discuss the blocks next steps also be negotiating measures to prevent migrants and refugees from entering the. your comment yet so far on the phone our bit with egypt we have for the first time a country in north africa that is willing to intensify talks with the european union egypt has proven that it can be efficient since two thousand and sixteen it is managed boats that leave egypt for europe and when ever they have lived it took them back it's hardly has the latest for us from the summit insults back austria

for some time now the european union's had a problem it hasn't been able to persuade its own member states to take in a share of asylum seekers each because many simply don't want to there hasn't been able to find a country outside the borders of the european union like libya for example to stop people coming in but now at these summits the austrians who are the preparing presidents of the european union reckon they found a solution the austrian chancellor and donald tusk the head of the european council went to cairo last weekend to meet president sisi of egypt donald tusk is announcing a summit in egypt's fabry next year and both men and their people are briefing they now believe that egypt is the european union's new strategic partner they say because it has proved its capability of keeping refugees out of the european union and they see no moral hazard whatsoever in doing this sort of deal with

a country with such a poor human rights record. lessing sits on the german side of the austrian border population seventeen thousand nothing much ever happens or at least it didn't until the great exodus of twenty fifteen when two thousand people a day were crossing the bridge which is the border now that bridge is quiet an average of two migrants a day make the crossing but the austrians would like to make it zero the whole austrian plan calls for the schengen free movement zone inside europe to be maintained by forcing people who want to claim asylum to do it before they enter the european union the logic of that says that people might have to ask a country they're trying to escape from to help them become a refugee the austrians release the briefing documents in which they said that some single male migrants were characterized by and see freedom or backward looking

religious attitudes the whole thing is straight out of the playbook of the populous far right. that also plays very well in small towns like fry lessing to a coyote in libya and that it would be wise if countries like libya and turkey where they are received first had reception centers it's smarter to help those countries register them none of which is to say that this place is unfriendly bashir who fled somalia three years ago is being looked after by locals his journey took him through libya could he really have asked for asylum in germany while he was a sixteen year old in north africa is fairly sure feel fairly sure it would be really dangerous once you're out of your country nobody does anything for you and you can't go back it's just a whole lot of problems and trouble as it stands the migrant reception center and for the last thing has nothing to do because there are no migrants well over the border austria has gravitated entirely to the points of view of governments like

those in hungary and italy which despise any migration with populous parties on the march before european elections next year the austrian presidency seems to be validating the most hardline views or ensley al-jazeera fried us in. malaysia's former prime minister has appeared in court again to face twenty five additional corruption charges including abuse of power and money laundering prosecutors accused of illegally transferring six hundred eighty one million dollars from the one and the state investment fund into his personal bank account. until the end of the month to pay eight hundred fifty thousand dollars if he wants to be released on bail and deny corruption when charged with seven similar offenses last month. larry has the latest from kuala lumpur. these charges are significant because they deal with such a vast sum of money and they also prosecutors allege that these sums of money came

plane and in addition to say to the russians that iran is continuing to attempts to transfer strategic weaponry to hezbollah and establish a military presence in syria now regarding the downing of the plane what israel says is that it wasn't their fault their points are that it was extensive and inaccurate air defense fire from the syrian anti-aircraft batteries that down the plane that when these missiles were launched at the russian plane actually the israeli jets were already back in israeli air space during the strike that the is ready jets were engaged in the russian plane wasn't actually in the area of operations and that the syrians didn't even try to determine that there were no russian planes in the air so essentially what they're doing is saying to the russians we aren't to blame and also and this is important they're also trying

to persuade russians that the current arrangement between russia and israel to allow israel to operate against iranian and hezbollah targets inside syria is mutually beneficial for both countries and should be jettisoned then outside despite the anger of the russian defense ministry over all of this there's no sign yet from vladimir putin that he is willing to tear up that deal over this incident . sham muslims around the world are commemorating assura the annual mourning for the prophet mohammed's grandson and mum hussein was killed in the battle of karbala and what's now iraq thirteen hundred years ago hussein's death was a major factor in the split into two main sects of islam city and shia the anniversary is commemorated worldwide on the tenth day of the first month in the islamic calendar some shia every year beat themselves to express their grief for

program of the new presidential system in turkey is not what the markets expected some of the economic analysts say and some of them say that this is almost the same the ripper titian of what the previous economy managements of the government have been have revealed in the in the last fifteen sixteen years the minister said that turkey is going to continue its fight against a high inflation rate which is up to double digits right now and he said that took him to bring it down to six percent by two thousand and twenty one and they will be creating at these two million new jobs for its citizens and turkey will be able to take under control of the current account deficit it turkey's it current account deficits has been a challenge for for the economy for the last sixteen years because it's the pendant on energy imports mainly from rush azerbaijan and iran which is based on

a us dollars and it creates almost half of the current account deficit but of course all eyes are on the decline in turkish fear on whether to whether the national currency is going to gain back its confidence its value against the american dollar or not a turkish lira has lost a lot of fairly following the following diplomatic dispute between washington and ankara ford the last couple of months and now everybody is. whether turkish the right is going to gain valley or not but of course the minister try to give the message to the international markets that turkey is a safe haven't they can come and invest in turkey and the curry's see crisis is totally over but of course time will show whether the turkish lira is going to gain back the confidence. canadian government leaders more flexibility from the united states as time runs out to agree to a new trade deal to replace enough to canadian negotiators a being pressured by the trumpet ministration to make concessions if the new

a two year investigation by our current affairs program one a one east reveals the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals at the center of a booming multi-billion dollar industry stiff challenge for us. i see i see the public opinion performances in china or entertaining me defying tricks i called animals i did some displays of affection. i. put exclusive behind the scenes video obtained by one of one east reviews a much darker picture. and then torture your union. workers who asked not to be identified see animals such as seals sick with skin diseases and cataracts or a band in places called dining rooms. left to swim in their own urine and feces from the horse and so who knows whom you will woman goes i didn't.

belugas swallowing debris and display areas far too cramped the tank for these three balloon guys is so small it's hard for them even just to turn around. roll says not only is there widespread abuse but animals are dying prematurely this is just a one way conveyor belt and it ends in death at the other end premature death and this is supposed to be entertaining managers of the marine park didn't respond to our requests to discuss mistreatment the parks are now so popular there are more than sixty in china with a dozen more being built. there appears no way in to china's aquarium park group and for their captives no wind to their misery steve check out al-jazeera china. straight ahead of animal welfare and captivity and the born free foundation is

calling for a global investigation to look into animal abuse and marine theme parks around the world. these are scenes of horror dressed up as time and inflation of entertainment and it's it's really a worrying trend that we're seeing so many such facilities being constructed in enjoying around in other countries around the world when certainly there is an appetite to move away from such or such cities in western europe and north america and i think you have to look at the the very nature of these captive facilities for whales and dolphins for example and just by their very nature they are. they are completely misrepresentative of what these animals need their basic needs what they have evolved to utilize in the wild these are items that live in complex and dynamic social sciences that the tribe or vast distances and dive to grow depths you cannot replicate even with the best will in the world in a captive facility we know that this activity the particular activity which

scribing here of marine parks and dolphin area inherently involve suffering and cruelty and that is something that is worthy of much further investigation and we would encourage governments to look carefully at their policies on these facilities . well you can watch steve chiles program china caging the oceans wild this thursday at twenty two thirty g.m.t. on al-jazeera. with al-jazeera these are our top stories after a historic three days with north korea's kim jong un the president of south korea is back on home soil and says kim wants a second summit with u.s. president donald trump as soon as possible. the two leaders visited the top of the region's most sacred mountain in north korea. since
