general assembly we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea to ten months later a face to face summit the first time the leaders of these two countries technically still at war had ever met and there was an instant bond. and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters and they're great let us. we fell in love even a former state department official from the obama administration was impressed i have a dozen criticisms of the trumpet ministration foreign policy from presidential impulsiveness to disrespect and misuse of dedicated public servants in the u.s. government on this particular issue i am willing to give president trump credit for trying something new he's not correct when he says that the plumber c.

has never worked with north korea in fact it has produce positive results in the past but he is correct when he says it's never gotten us to the solution that we really want in the seven months since the singapore summit the diplomacy between the two sides has stalled they've now decided to get the two leaders back together to try and reenergize things. president donald trump is believed to assess foreign affairs by how it will be viewed domestically for now north korea is seen as one of his few policy successes turning the threat of imminent war into a fragile peace it's unlikely he'll want to jeopardize that by pressing the north koreans too hard in case the whole process collapses james bays out zuma head on. second summit has significant. considered enemies white house correspondent

kimberly takes a look at how that has changed. almost a half century after the end of the war in vietnam jim garcia has traveled to the vietnam veterans memorial wall to honor those who fought and died in the conflict i think. garcia's father was a marine who served two tours in the vietnam war the conflict cost more than fifty eight thousand american lives most of them mo mori allies here in washington d.c. u.s. president donald trump avoided military service during vietnam citing bone spurs something he's been heavily criticized for. but his trunk heads to the vietnamese capital of hanoi to meet north korean leader kim jong un for the second face to face summit the country will serve as an example of how old photos can become friends. from the one nine hundred fifty s.

through to the early one nine hundred seventy s. the united states sent its men to fight in vietnam a generation later a nine hundred ninety four bill clinton the other u.s. president who avoided military service looked at the trade embargo on the scot in this country completely changing vietnam's relationship with the united states since then the vietnamese economy has been. the us is now one of vietnam's biggest trading partners like vietnam after the war the us and north korea have no formal diplomatic or economic ties we think that north korea. and german can have a tremendous potential as an economic force. as the u.s. tries to convince young to abandon its nuclear weapons program. some analysts say kim should look to vietnam as an example of what's possible it's really quite remarkable and it is a reminder to kim jong un that we the united states are capable of moving beyond

previously adversarial relationships like vietnam north korea can learn much about transforming its economy despite u.s. efforts to isolate it it's one of the so-called carrots trump is dangling as a means of negotiating peace the challenge may be convincing the north korean leader a deal isn't a sign of surrender kimberly healthy al-jazeera her noyo. india has launched air strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir it's india's first military action against pakistan since they cues the neighbor of being behind the attack on security forces in indian administered kashmir two weeks ago a pakistani military spokesman tweeted pictures said to show deborah from the strikes mohammed a pakistan based on the group claimed responsibility for the suicide attack on

february fourteenth which left fourteen members of the indian security forces dead august on denies there were any casualties and says no training camp was hit india says the strike killed fighters from that group in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely mississippi in an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today. india struck the biggest training camp of the gesture moment in balakot in this operation a very large number of gentian mama terrorists trainers senior commanders and groups of jihad these who are being trained for free they in action were eliminated the government of india is firmly and resiliently committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the minutes of terrorism hence this nonmilitary preemptive action was specifically targeted at the junction of mom of the camp and

an indian and mr kashmir they have been violent confrontations between soldiers and protesters. this was the scene in the provincial capital srinagar indian troops fired tear gas to disperse the demonstrators and violence broke out after the government carried out raids on the houses of four people described by india as separatist leaders. has more from the indian capital new delhi. as you heard from in the foreign secretary in that clip just now he used some very interesting words he used preemptive and nonmilitary nonmilitary because no pakistani military civilians or infrastructure was targeted they also used the words preemptive something we usually hear from the united states or israel saying that they had evidence that they were about to be attacked and that's why they had to act the yorks their explanations are being seen as a way to deescalate tensions between india and pakistan and many believe that india won't release any information any hard proof that is any time soon just to make

sure that they don't further enraged the military establishment in pakistan mostly held a televised rally just on tuesday itself where he told the crowd mainly composed of former military personnel saying that i've fulfilled my promise and that you in the country are in safe hands i won't let anyone a race this country now it's a little bit of a parallel but counter narrative to what india's foreign minister was saying trying to deescalate tensions between india and pakistan while movie is trying to shore up support on his base ahead of elections in april come on high to has more from islamabad on the escalating tensions. andy after mad dog an indian tag inside buggers on each candidate he waits bugbears don said did not kill anybody on the ground and that the indians had to drop their bear lowered after day so i challenge my buggers on the interceptors the indians of course saying that they have killed hundreds of people to the military spokesman on the other hand saying that their

dad goes through there would be feeling ordered by the court as a populated area and people would come out and body their dead if they're dead the indians had already tried to spring a surprise and he said earlier that he did not expect the indians to get away with that separate thing that buggers down right now spring that the bridle fits on the bugger sonny the prime minister had already called a national security committee of the cabinet he's made the military leadership and also all of the people of pakistan should be ready for any eventuality the bugs on the foreign minister also ahead a million he meetings in forming the own noise would then islamabad about what had to happen buggers down rubbishing their claim and ignored the buggers any foreign minister had to say either pakistan can shut off if there is aggression against pakistan we have the right to defend our country this equation is unfolding to

political level a diplomatic level and at a military level pakistan is planning and pakistan will respond and britain's prime minister has outlined how the u.k. can avoid leaving the e.u. without a deal or delay for exit theresa may is announce that parliament will have a second vote on her current e.u. withdrawal do you on march the twelfth politicians rejected the agreement by a massive margin in january if they veto it again then parliament will get the opportunity to vote on whether the u.k. should depart with no agreement if it is side against no deal than a vote will be held by march the fourteenth on asking the e.u. to delay the march twenty ninth departure date. that's kilometer largely who's in westminster can we assume it is going to be delayed well that's a very good question and one way of answering it is that you have to assume that it's reason mase going to be true to her word and indeed some m.p.'s who are demanding a delay as a way of avoiding no deal mistrusting of since she's written

a. promises so many times that they're not entirely clear that they can actually trust her to do this but if you assume for a second that she is true so then i think i think the inexorable logic of it is then yes absolutely there's going to be a delay because there's no impetus really anymore if there's a potential for delay for the for people in the first those votes to back her a deal which they've rejected so comprehensively in the past there's not a thought in parliament for no deal and then you're only left with extending assuming that the european union lets the u.k. do it and that's not a given either but the message from some reason may having conceded all these things and folded to all these demands was that if there is this extension and it is really the last chance for the u.k. to agree to some sort of deal without there being no deal at the end of may and that's insane and lead to fear is reaction from the opposition which accused once

again they're trying to run down the clock and hold everybody to ransom his how that exchange went between the two leaders of the main parties in the british parliament. let me be clear i do not want to see article fifty extended absolute focus should be on working to get a deal and leaving on the twenty ninth of march. an extension beyond the end of june would mean the u.k. taking part in the european parliament elections what kind of message boards that send to the more than seventeen million people who voted to leave you nearly three years ago now. i've lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further delay they say mrs pigg your history repeats itself first time is tragedy the second time is fast by the umpteenth time it can only be described as

grotesquely reckless yeah this is not desiring it's a deliberate strategy to run down the clock. so if you pursue the logic of all these things in the seeming that there is a delay now for a couple of months or so until june that everybody's trying to work out what's on the balance of probabilities is the most likely thing to happen because if after that period there's no agreement to be reached with the european union then the default position is still leaving without a deal and if parliament doesn't want to do that stands to reason they pointed out they have to revoke article fifty and not leave the european union at all but if there's no appetite for that because she says it will be a betrayal of the votes then they have to either go back to the european yes again and ask for different extension which is going to make people rip their hair out in places like brussels or they going to have to say some of the european union like we're going to have a general election or another referendum or something like that so you know that

there's been some sense of progress today in terms of tourism a knowledge in the parliament doesn't want no deal and taking steps to avoid that happening but in terms of what happens at the end of the process we're really still not clear and aren't thank you very much indeed. still to come on al-jazeera trump's former lawyer takes center stage in washington as he prepares to testify before congress to lift the lid on the president's finances. and the highest ranking catholic figure to be found guilty of sexual offenses plans to appeal against his conviction. had over a chain of cloud is making its way across the southeastern parts of china at the moment you can see it on the satellite picture making its way through parts of

discussions are as a significant player was appointed head of the taliban political office in qatar last year to sign to looking to hammer out a timeline for potential troop withdrawal as well as guarantees the taliban will not allow militant groups to flourish stephanie. it is the second day of talks between the high level delegation of the taleban and the americans trying to find some kind of solution to the seventeen year war between them and also the larger forty year conflict inside that country now we mentioned tracked down the taliban spokesperson here in doha i was at the hotel where the talks are taking place he said that basically there were two main issues being discussed one the u.s. troop withdrawal from the country the occupation as he called it a time table for that and also what the americans really wanted was to have the taliban ensure that groups like al qaida and i still would not use the country to stage further attacks now there is of course an important issue that the afghan people want to know about which is security and that is something i pushed him on

and one guarantees you giving that if you do find an agreement that the military aspect of your group will cease to operate when you have missions named units from the drop order groups come on strong. on a funny gruesomeness then you could have been in the country i think there is no need for a military operation for very good a sustainable peace in the country and no. military people with a lot of people who will be included in the national guard i also mother or the taliban would be talking to the afghan government he said that that was an internal issue and that would only be addressed once the external ones like the troop withdrawal would have been confirmed certainly they are complicated issues being discussed the timetable again we're going to have to wait and see what is achieved

here over the next coming days we were all skin him whether he's optimistic he said well if we don't achieve something this round of talks there will be more. that just breaking news for you you remember that the iranian foreign minister zarif resigned via instagram yesterday well now we have the iranian president rouhani rejecting that resignation also on instagram apparently it's already more on those developments where the resignation of the foreign minister has apparently been rejected by the president in iran as rym bizzare for was one of the chief architects of the iran nuclear deal which was eventually pulled out of by president trump and that is a source of conflict within iran and really more that's breaking story about to the iranian president rouhani rejecting foreign minister zarif resignation by instagram later in the program activists say there's been an increase in government airstrikes in the rebel controlled province of lib in northwestern syria and

escalation has forced thousands of civilians to flee the town of qana she couldn't syrian state media has reported that armed fighters fired rockets at several towns in the province of how much just south of adlib one civilian is said to have been killed with the syrian government calling it a violation of the deescalation agreement president transform a lawyer michael cohen is due to meet the u.s. senate intelligence committee on tuesday current arrived on capitol hill to give his evidence behind closed doors with his public testimony due to start on wednesday cohn is expected to say what he knows about trump's contact with russia in the lead up to the presidential election as well as revealing details about hush money given to a former adult film actress known as stormy daniels she has returned he has more from washington d.c. . or getting a lot of leaks already now from those who claim to have seen michael cohen's testimony or claim to be close to michael cohen that he will document the quote lies racism and cheating of donald trump with

a personal behind the scenes anecdotes of trump and his conduct how donald trump inflated his wealth his net worth in order to get onto the forbes richest list and deflated his wealth with all of the pay as little tax as possible and also how donald trump directed michael cohen who was his long time lawyer to make those payments to the two women during the presidential campaign who had claimed to have an affair with donald trump the hush money payments which were in violation of campaign finance law according to the prosecutors and michael cohen himself. who prosecuted child michael cohen in new york now we did already know all this stuff donald trump was named by prosecutors in legal filings as individual one as the person who directed michael cohen to make those payments so i think in the end what we're going to get is much more and quite granular detail on donald trump's conduct

and how he how he ran his business also michael cohen's own cooper about how he now decides he can no longer give loyalty to donald trump but not much more than i mean but as far as specific bombshell information it doesn't look likely we're going to get that unless and that's where wrong so far i mean we do know that don't that he does have other information about how the trump organization works but a lot of this has been spelled out by various journalists over the years. protesters in sudan's capital khartoum have defied a government ban on unauthorised public gatherings hundreds of demonstrators have taken to the streets to demand an end to president omar al bashir is thirty year rule a share imposed a year long state of emergency on friday and issued a raft of edicts on monday including a ban on protests and sweeping new powers for the police daily demonstrations have been held across the country since december. the head of the norwegian refugee council has accused yemen's three biggest a donors of hypocrisy saying saudi arabia

inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october and last internationals middle east the rector says the case has renewed scrutiny on saudi arabia. we think that the case was incredibly important in twenty thousand if not one of the most important events and not not just because of the horror of what actually happened but because of that very rare international response this international had been documenting human rights abuses in saudi arabia for years we've very little international interest in it so i think the horror of what happened to them and i should she has created some momentum which we've seen translate at least on the part of denmark finland norway into a decision to hold arms sales to saudi arabia and given how they are being used in yemen for the commission of human rights and abuses of international humanitarian law our hope is that that momentum can be sustained in particular towards yemen but also for renewed scrutiny on saudi arabia we are still calling for an independent
