more from the united nations. the north korean foreign minister picked up on a 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 by the easing sanctions all 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. self rule 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. the idea that sanctions 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 marcel's 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 a new craze ation 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 time frames so it will be interesting to see whether this latest appeal makes don't 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 mark fitzpatrick is the director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies and he says it would be easy for the u.s. to show they're acting in good faith. you north koreans had been insisting that the

united states make a declaration of the of an 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 in exchange for a north korean real gesture murfree has done to date has been without verification there is no legal connection between ending the war and the presence of u.s. forces there under a bilateral treaty with south korea and kim jong un himself said that ending that war would not mean the troops have to leave it's just that there's a second about political connection that the united states is worried about the north koreans think that they can overcome u.s. resistance by going into the soft spot that they see in donald trump and he so unpredictable and so inclined to withdraw u.s. forces that they may have reason to think that they can make progress ideally with him first and i say don't ians are going to head to the polls in the coming hours for a referendum on the country's name voters are going to decide whether they accept

an agreement with greece to change the balkan nation's name to the republic of north macedonia this is because greece insists that only its province of macedonia can claim that name. in the democratic republic of congo there have been calls to rejects the use of electronic voting machines in december's general election a coalition of opposition leaders say the devices aren't secure and can be tampered with catherine so reports in the capital kinshasa. it's rare in the democratic republic of congo to see supporters of some of the country's most popular opposition parties together like this but here they are mobilized by key opposition presidential candidates and others who have been disqualified from running by the electoral commission the message in this joint trial it's clear they do not want or trust a new electronic voting system to be used for the first time in the country in the

election in december and. i know they have only one plated deceased them to use in discussions and having a dubious voters who just but if we are together. will they. they also question the validity of some sixteen million voters registered without their fingerprints taken electoral commission officials have said taking fingerprints during voter registration is not a legal requirement that the voting devices are foolproof and changing the system means delaying the paul. because. there is no where it mentioned that we have to use electronic vote but we still have time. and we are on what the last thing. those who attended the rally called for a united position this has been difficult in the past because of political

differences and pass no interests that twenty one presidential candidates and opposition leaders yes i've been talking about backing one against presidential the be less success a man was a darling. but they also say the priority now is to make sure that this electronic voting machines are not used in the election and that the paul will be free and credible many supporters here say this is the beginning of something big. here is the one we are sure and believe if all of us and our latest stand behind one candidate we will when we are already a step forward with this unity. the message was very clear to us that we should start we hate whoever is choosing by the coalition it's not about big names it's less than three months of the election and efforts by the catholic church to get political parties and the electoral commission to talk have so far failed the
