foreign minister has accused the us of deepening mistrust between their countries re young ho addressed the united nations general assembly saturday he says it's unrealistic for washington to expect pyongyang to denuclearize want sanctions remain in place shabba tuns he has more from the united nations. the north korean foreign minister picked up on the theme that we also heard from the chinese and russian foreign ministers of the un general assembly that the north koreans had shown their goodwill their commitment to denuclearization by dismantling that test site by ending the testing of nuclear weapons and missiles it's time for the u.s. to take reciprocal action either easing sanctions or declaring an end to the korean war the north korean foreign minister pointing out that north korea has more reason to mistrust the u.s. than the other way around the u.s. after all is the only country in the world to actually use nuclear weapons against another country and has consistently threatened to annihilate north korea using nuclear weapons it was time for the u.s.

now to act to. the i did the changsha is can bring us on our knees is a pipe dream of people who are ignorant about us but the problem is that the continued sanctions are deepening our mistrust the reason behind the recent deadlock is because the us relies on chorus of measures which are lethal to trust building without any trust in the us will be no confidence in our national security and under such circumstances there is no way we'll unilaterally to cells first but the u.s. position here at the u.n. general assembly was consistent might compare nikki haley both saying that maximum pressure still needs to be applied on north korea before nuclearization and only then would north korea see the rewards however donald trump was very upbeat here in new york saying a great deal of progress has been going on behind the scenes that will be revealed shortly that he's not worried about timeframes so it will be interesting to see whether this latest appeal makes donald trump who after all is the most invested in this process in the white house think again about whether it's time for the u.s.

to take reciprocal action. well i speak to mark fitzpatrick about this now he joins us live from richmond in virginia via skype he's director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies mark good to have you on al-jazeera again so what do you make of this defiant tone from the north korean foreign minister towards the u.s. do you think this latest appeal will make the trump administration think it's time to make reciprocal action to lift the sanctions against pyongyang well i think it should make the administration realize that their insistence that pyongyang denuclearize first is just not going to work with foreign minister said it was a statement of the obvious they are not going to give up their nuclear weapons until but united states take steps to remove the sanctions it's simply not going to be that north korea so first he said north korea has more reason to mistrust the u.s.

and the other way around he does have a certain point there doesn't he i mean given there's been little progress towards denuclearization should the u.s. be the one making a gesture right now what is it going to take for the trumpet ministration to make a gesture. well i'm not sure i would agree with with you that the united states bears more blame for mistrust i mean look at all the times of the past when north korea has agreed to denuclearize or to stop tests and they never carry them out for very long but let's look at today and your question is a good one what would it take you north koreans have been insisting that you know and states make a declaration of the end to the korean war this is not something that is really too hard for the united states to do they could do it while maintaining sanctions i think they should do it you know exchange for a north korean real gesture there what north korea has done to date has been

without verification but north korea let me just add because if they did if sorry to interrupt you you make an interesting point that if they did announce an end to the war that would mean that the u.s. would have to perhaps review their their military presence on the korean peninsula wouldn't it i mean are they prepared to do that well that's the figure on their concern and that's why the united states administration is reluctant to do that but no there is no legal connection between ending the war and the presence of u.s. forces there under a pine lateral treatment so korea kim jong un himself said that ending the war would not mean the troops have to leave it's just that there is a certain about political connection that the united states is worried about right now my compiler the secretary of state is due to travel to pyongyang for his fourth trip to north korea his third as secretary of state and there's even talk of a second son it's between president trying ben kim jong un you know you wonder what's the point of all of this when there's clearly still

a lot of mistrust between the two sides what's the point of another a second summit between kim jong un and donald trump. well you know negotiations always have a lot of ups and downs and a bumpy road you think back about us all the arms control talks that took years and years to reach a deal so it's no surprise that we're in a sticky period right now north korea is making its demands and probably hopes that if there's another summit that will make concessions the way he did at the singapore summit but can they be meaningful negotiations at the leaders level at the at the level of came john on and donald trump shouldn't the negotiations be happening among the diplomats the people who are experts in negotiations but you can tell you they really should be as a former diplomat i'm i'm aghast that the leaders will meet with irony things out at a lower level but the north koreans think that they can overcome u.s.

resistance by going into the sauce that they see in donald trump and he saw in predictable and so inclined to withdraw u.s. forces that they may have reason to think that they make progress by dealing with him first mike fitzpatrick always good to talk to thank you so much for sharing your insights with us mike fitzpatrick joining us now from. richmond virginia thank you now also at the u.n. on saturday syria's foreign minister called on us on the us france and turkey to withdraw troops from this country he branded them as occupation forces while it won and said syria's government is close to winning the country seventy a civil war and in his words defeating terrorism he said that syria is now ready for refugees who fled the fighting to return to their homes. has more from the u.n. headquarters in new york. it was a defiant. telling the international community basically that they have to come to terms with the fact that bashar assad has the upper hand and that is just

a matter of time before the syrian army takes over the whole of syria now even if the syrians take over the territories the last of the opposition they will have to deal with a particular issue which is the presence of the turkish army of the northern part of the country french and american troops based in the eastern part of syria they are there to provide assistance to the kurdish militias operating there now for the syrian foreign minister what is that those troops have to pull out otherwise the syrian army will use force let's listen to what the syrian pharmacy had to say in. any foreign presence on syrian territory without the consent of the syrian government is illegal and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and the un charter it's an assault on our sovereignty which undermines counterterrorism efforts and threatens regional peace and security we therefore consider any forces operating on syrian territory without

an explicit request from the government including us french and turkish forces occupying forces who will be dealt with accordingly they must withdraw immediately and without conditions. one of them describe the opposition as terrorist describe the neighboring countries particularly turkey as a safe haven for terrorist groups moving into syria and dismiss calls for dialogue that would pave the ground for the opposition to share power with the government saying that bashar assad will stay in power and that anything that is not under the terms of the national sovereignty on the with the syrian people will be rejected. chris doyle is the director of the council for arab british understanding he says the syrian government's rhetoric is nothing new it was a ruse very well rehearsed playbook of all the syrian regime narratives that actually echoed exactly what he said last year you could have almost displayed that

speech to the u.n. general assembly to be honest it was about you know the regime is winning it's about sober too that must control or and borders that all from forces must leave except for etc now i think if you're a syrian. living in hope that somehow there's going to be some sort of political solution there can be some sort of exit from the crisis there and you're not going to find out any sort of plan coming out of this speech it was a blame everybody else but asked for what has happened blaming the foreign forces i lost count the number of times that he mentioned the word terrorism you know that the regime somehow is the innocent victim of everything that has happened you know to syria that is other people have used chemical weapons as others who have adopted terrorism for sure there are you know other parties within syria who have committed crimes who are not guiltless but to deny the primary responsibility of the syrian regime for what's happening in syria of the last seven years. plenty more ahead on

this news hour including anguish in gaza as funeral state base for protesters killed on friday along the barrier fence with israel because turkey's president opens one of europe's biggest mosques in germany despite protests against his visit . to old and europe the momentum of the gulf rider to have a distance in space. the. first tesla seal on moscow in the u.s. securities and exchange commission have reached a settlement over fraud charges under the deal mosque will remain c.e.o. pay a twenty million dollars fine and stepped down as chairman of the company the f.c.c. also impose a twenty million dollars fine on tesla mosque is accused of misleading investors after tweeting that he'd secured funding to take the electric car make

a private last month. in washington for as heidi this whole saga began in august and have been quite a few twists and turns since then just remind our viewers how we got here and how this final settlement finally came about. that's right foley this may have begun with the most expensive two hundred eighty characters in the history of the world that is what musk tweeted back on august seventh when he told his followers that he was considering taking tesla private at four hundred twenty dollars a share and that funding was secured now federal regulators say that was a lie that there was really no bases or means for that plan to take place but shareholders believed musk's tweets they purchased more stocks and that artificially inflated tesla's stock prices temporarily and the twenty million dollars that musk has now agreed to pay back in addition to the other twenty million from his company will go back to address the damages suffered by those

shareholders and other key point of this settlement is that that musk will step down as chair of the board of tesla he will remain as c.e.o. but under the strict scrutiny of two more independent board members that is required as part of this settlement all of this a dramatic step in what we've seen as the decline of musk in recent months with that tweet with him going on a live you tube stream earlier this month smoking marijuana shaking the confidence of his investors and also of course those allegations he lodged at a british cave diver who assisted in rescuing those boys trapped in a thailand cave when he said without offering evidence that the man was a pedophile now must also face a defamation defamation lawsuit for that as well as these penalties and of losing his position as chair of tesla just how big of a blow is this with tesla and what does it mean for the future of the company and

mosque. well the settlement with the s.c.c. spares tesla from ever knology are facing any fraud charges so that the company will continue without musk as chair he will continue to steer the boat though as its c.e.o. again under the direction of a more strong and independent board as far as how shareholders will react to this that is still to be determined stocks on tesla did close down at the end of the day on this news and now if we see a bully with a more stable chairman in its lead perhaps the prices will rally once again and not to mention that musk not only was the founder is the founder and leader of tesla but also the father of pay pal and his innovative space company space x. all of those companies so intimately intertwined with the thinking of this once

story and joining us now is joel say roberto toledo he is live from rio de janeiro is a political columnist and brazilian journalist magazine thank you very much for joining us so yeah both so narrow is a candidate who is mrs dennistoun fuse who's made racist homophobic comments and he's got thousands of women on the streets today against him quite a controversial figure and yet his is the leading presidential candidates in brazil how do you explain that. well today was the very day he was going through this shock at bay because these were really the most the biggest demonstrations popular business traces in the streets of this to see here all contained that is very specially in this ng because the most of them were women and you know they gather themselves just using what's up and other media social media. but i just know that you don't have any t.v.

commercials or of the fact that it wasn't a partisan movement and it was it gathers together really those are the sort of thousands of women. now horton and say how percent as a center did you think these protests were do you think the protests will make an impact in terms of the elections yes they are already did the cause was and i don't has troubles to get he's eighty years to the. electorate he has a third of the votes that he has a young man and these demonstrations shows that you still have problems to get there because most of the president's record are women's three percent. but for you this is since it is still popular among

among a certain section of the population we seen a lot of women today on the streets but is still i one of the meeting candidates in the election do you think the attack and the attempted assassination helped him get both his popularity and how people back from criticizing him. yes he was you know descending moat and after the thames he recovered. in some. special directory in the bull's. eye and then now he is in the first place but he is not. going out there is another candidate was going. on there not as it started from the left hand but they probably second run. this upcoming election is being described as the most divisive in brazil since the end of military rule three

decades ago what do you think it means. for for democracy the future of democracy in brazil you don't very worried about because that doesn't matter this candidate leading candidate already sat and so did it take him yesterday that if he loses he want to separate. the results because he doesn't have a trust in real trust in the caucus. or out of that he is into the election. or electronic devices so this is going to be a. huge or a result of the next couple weeks you know when you hear both a narrow hey almost sounds like donald trump back in two thousand and sixteen in the us and certain there's a certain disillusionment against politicians in brazil we've heard it from you know the people that our reporters have been speaking to there do you think brazil is suffering from what america suffered in two thousand and sixteen and it's

probably going to know the same fate as what happened in america doesn't that just . this land is going to serve for up big waves we've got you book you learn your own kinds of brazil lives as if there is records of brass you could use every so he's the person who simple as this oh this is this agreement and he's being very successful doing this for a bit biased ear it's a. really big difference between him and trump is that he doesn't care if the party behind him he's going to gain is not one of the structure doesn't have any. kind of national bias or is or marketeers or like that it's very improves either i would say but that's a big difference and that's those that present because how. he wins nobody

knows how he will be as a president because he doesn't have the necessary. political support among our political parties to do that interesting to see what will happen thank you very much for speaking to us or is there a better political columnist joining us live from rio de janeiro in brazil thank you thank you for us present donald trump has once again publicly backed his nominee for the supreme court has ordered an f.b.i. investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by brett kavanaugh all this means a vote by the full senate on his confirmation will be delayed for at least a week on his way to a campaign rally trump said he has complete faith in his nominee and the investigation. i'm going to do whatever they have to do whatever it is they do they'll be doing a lot of. every good will be by
