capital hanoi ahead of a two day summit wednesday's talks will address where the world's biggest security concerns came as pursuit of a nuclear program and is first met last june in singapore our diplomatic editor james bays reports from hanoi. kim jong un arriving in hanoi after a long journey by train from north korea all the way across china he's here for the latest stage of one of the most unusual diplomatic process is ever in two years it's ranged from the threat of imminent war made in the un 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 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 ouches era hanoi jane town is a research analyst at the foreign policy think tank the stimson center she's also an editor at thirty eight north a channel specializing in north korea she joins me now from washington thanks for being with us on the program so what do you make of the timing of this second meeting now. well i think we're to a point where both sides have decided that there are next steps forward and i think there's a lot they made over the past few months of an impasse between the two sides but this is typical of a negotiation where you start with your maximal demands you figure out what doesn't

work you start to learn what might work and i think they've finally gotten to a common understanding of how to start the process and you know using these summits to set the agenda that they would then hand down to the working level to focus their attention on implementation and start to build that track record and build that trust to get to the bigger issues in the future and has actually been any concrete progress. since the last summit. well there hasn't been you know what would be considered progress but there hasn't been an agreement in place what we had in singapore was really setting the political will to negotiate as well as setting an overall broad agenda as the range of things that would need to be addressed in a process what we haven't had is direction on where to start and so certainly north korea has done some things unilaterally as confidence building measures that have affected the periphery of their programs but nothing that has affected the core of their capabilities and the u.s.

as well has not given anything other than a moratorium or halting of military exercises and in fact has actually impose new sanctions during this process which kind of goes against the spirit of the whole diplomatic process to begin with so it's good that they've had they've had the political will to whether you know ups and downs throughout this process and see a way forward in terms of actual things that they might fall on the agenda this time other any specifics that that might be for instance required by the by the north korean side of it is. relief from u.n. sanctions for example. well i think there's real pressure on both sides to come away with something concrete on the north korean side we have heard that there's you know the likelihood that they're going to be giving up certain parts of their nuclear material fizzle material production capabilities on the u.s. side of course the north koreans do want things that involve or or within the

framework that was set up in singapore that would deal with the overall normalization of relations in the peace agenda so things like the end of war declaration that was promised at the singapore summit. you know moves to set up a liaison office is perhaps and perhaps even some you know easing of sanctions or some exemptions given to specific activities to help jumpstart the into a korean economic process that could be very useful to moving the agenda forward. thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and. second summit is significant united states and vietnam also once considered enemies white house correspondent kimberly help it takes a look at how that's 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 morial ised 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 truck 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 lifted

a 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 gang 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 health al-jazeera her noyo president thomas former 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 do just start on wednesday cohen is expected to tell lawmakers what he knows about trump's contact with russia in the lead up to the presidential election as well as revealing details about how she's money given to a former adult film actress known as stormy daniels she has her times he has more from washington. or getting a lot of leaks already now from those who claim to have seen michael cohen's testimony will claim to be close to michael that he will document the quote lies racism and 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 i'd also how donald trump directed michael cohen who was his long time lawyer to make those payments to the two women who during the presidential campaign could claim to have an affair with donald trump the hush money payments which were in violation of campaign finance law or according to the prosecutors and michael cohen himself. who prosecuted charles 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 all 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 to come on the. i know members across the house so genuinely war it's the time is running out to resume office british m.p.'s a vote on delaying brecht's it or leaving the e.u. without a deal. should raise protesters defy a government ban on unauthorized gatherings and take to the streets yet another anti bashir demonstration. and testing times from a sadie's is a formula one champion problems and that preceded this trial have already tells its full.

stands as it has the right to respond to indian ass trikes on its territory at a school for a meeting with a top nuclear command authority which comes off to india launched air strikes close to the border pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir the raids targeted the group mohammed which carried out an attack that killed forty members of india's security forces. ports from egypt and you jenny these pictures released by the pakistani military show the damage it says was done by the indian air force near the town of balakot inside pakistan on a hillside in a forced did uninhabited area a spokesman said there were no casualties but india says the airstrike hit a training camp of jaish e mohammad the armed group that claimed responsibility for this month's suicide bombing that killed forty indian troops in india to minister to schmear. indian officials say they chose to attack after pakistan failed to take action because the

un has no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil . was deceived that the gesture of moment was attempting other suicide at attacks in various parts of the country india has not provided any proof that hit its intended targets analysts say the reason for that may partly be not to further antagonize pakistan but on the streets of new delhi the use of the strike was welcome. india has given a perfect to pakistan and this reply was a much needed one. and vs countrymen are extremely happy and we want to tank in the forces because. it won't finish disturb it isn't going to give them an answer if they keep it to be able to finish them. but the government is trying to keep the situation because indian officials are calling the air strike preemptive because their intelligence showed jaish e mohammad was planning another suicide attack there also describing it as

nonmilitary because no pakistani military was targeted their explanation is being seen as a way to deescalate tensions between the countries but since then there have been raids and clashes in indian administered kashmir. indian security forces conducted morning raids against separatist leaders in srinagar imposing a curfew on the city and shutting off the internet. but a number of protesters defied the curfew and clashed with security forces. people living here say they've been on edge since the suicide bombing the deployment of ten thousand paramilitary troops at the weekend sparked rumors a major incident was going to take place and locals tell us they feel caught in the middle. of the box that is i don't know what will happen. to it for the both of the countries and all the neighboring countries to do shooters are no discussion moot issue to the rebels but resolution seems a long way off baucus on asserts its right to retaliate and put its forces on the

border on high alert that leaves the people have indeed administered kashmir fearing that whatever happens they will be caught in the middle is al jazeera you doug. and i had to has more on the escalating tension from bad and the capital of pakistan administered kashmir. andy after mad dog indian tag inside bugger thought he'd get it did he waits bugger's don said did not kill anybody on the ground and idea indians had to drop that payload after day so i challenge my buggers on the interceptors the indians of course saying that they have good hundred of paper that the military spokesman on the other hand saying that their dad was true there would be feeling ordered by the court in the populated area and people who would come out and body their dead if they're dead 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 bring their sobriety if it's on the buggers on the prime minister had already called for a national security committee of the cabinet he's made the military leadership and also all of the people of bloggers down should be ready for any eventuality the buggers on the foreign minister also ahead a million he meeting and forming their own roy who would then it's lamo bod boggo what had happened buggers down rubbishing their claim and ignored the buggers any foreign minister had to say i got dr sancha should i ask if there is aggression against pakistan we have the right to defend our country this situation is unfolding at a political level a diplomatic level at a military level that just is plumbing and pakistan will respond during these two years discuss what's next for india and pakistan is adnan single he's a senior lecturer in international relations at king's college london thanks so much for coming to talk to us thank you very much what do you think how serious is

this escalation between india and pakistan it's quite serious because in. living memory not in living memory but in sort of recent memory we we normally think of india and pakistan. getting into conflict. in kashmir either pakistan administered kashmir or india should cushnie or because in both countries considered the whole of the territory of german coach near to be part of their national territory. if it turns out to be the case that the indian strikes crossed the international border into pakistan. then that is actually something that's we haven't seen since one thousand nine hundred eighty one i mean and we had that kind of this threat from pakistan to retaliate at some point what form do you think that will take well pakistan's actually been somewhat. somewhat

big us about that part partly because there's a huge amount of disagreement about what actually occurred that level of disagreement i think does actually allow pakistan to have lots of different options in terms of in terms of response the response could actually be as much diplomatic as it is as military or and the very various different types of military military options i mean do you mention this is kind of this in some ways convenient discrepancy in kind of. that that both versions i mean we had india saying that they've. killed lots and lots of people from three hundred three hundred from the from this organization in pakistan saying actually haven't killed anybody did we ever get to the bottom of that i think probably not one of the things that i think is different now given our technology is that because of satellite imagery imaging anyone has access to sort of satellite imaging in

a way that in the past they would always be so that the official counts of one or the other but the same time both pakistan on pakistani army has has basically cordoned off the area such that you know people can't get sort of a. clear sense of what actually occurred i don't imagine and that's actually going to get results partially because in both both sides are playing to domestic audiences at this point thank you very much indeed i've been assuming a few thoughts thank you thank you very much. on the iranian president hassan rouhani is held back from except in resignation of his foreign minister zarif made the shock announcement that he was quitting on instagram or addressing pretty short comings during his service and i lie has suggested is decision was motivated by criticism of the nuclear deal he helped to negotiate in twenty fifteen which the trump administration withdrew from last year and

a hard line is iran were opposed to the do after there is. more what this means for the recent future well as far as we understand mamma will be returning to his position as foreign minister tomorrow morning there is nothing to indicate otherwise we've heard from various officials both within the president's office as well as the foreign ministry saying that this resignation is not of acceptable the president has not accepted this attempt by the foreign minister to leave his position and the instagram posts is not an official way for a minister to ask the government to leave office so of course has an iranian has not accepted this as an official resignation attempt by the foreign minister and of course this is not the first time we're hearing that the foreign minister has tried to leave his job he said that in the past he's come under very very heavy criticism about the nuclear agreement iran signed with the p five plus one in two thousand

and fifteen a lot of the conservative voices in the islamic republic were very much opposed to this agreement saying that iran did not get everything it could have and that somehow zarif and the rouhani government were tricked into signing this agreement that is not the best deal for iran but of course the foreign minister being adamant that he did the best that he could and this deal was better than no with the deal at all under the circumstances that they were working in. time to come on out of their news hour a senior palestinian official has criticized the trump administration's latest suggestion for how to broker peace between israelis and palestinians. why u.s. government officials are urging european companies to shun the chinese tech giant huawei. i don't who stole the show and read correct code at a college football. hello

it's been record breaking li warm for fabric for the whole winter for some parts of western europe i think particular british isles a bit also the netherlands belgium france and spain it's warm but not record breaking the sun is larger because of the static nature of the weather pattern we've got warmer already in daytime sunshine and sort of draw of warmth coming out from the science of eighteen degrees in the focus and that's probably conservative i'm expecting twenty ish in london and although we've had a bit of a surge of cold weather around on the eastern side of europe we still talking about temperatures that are that normal fiona's kiev is cold it one chris colder for we're back up to ten in athens we're going in the right direction and his i think turkey where you can see the real anomaly with snow and rain moving eastwards even when the sun comes out is to head three anchor athens is back up to normal and here

we are back up to above normal sixteen in vienna for the train of winds that will be a change of weather type in the british isles and rest of north europe the wind in particular being notable and it may well be wind that third from the eastern med at the moment is just catching the eastern side of libya it will drift to trust the levant in the next day or so leaving finer weather behind. everything you do is being analyzed it's being weighed and it's being measured other than it was cool this month. and it's not just i phones that i was laughing i mean most not phones are these days at the moment we are in a state of the universe that. did something that was. i would rather take your risks of democracy to the risks of dictatorship digital dissidents on

al-jazeera. we have a news gathering team here that is second term they're all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to them. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. again among the top stories here now to syria nigeria's muhammadu buhari looks on

course for victory of his main rival in the presidential election the main opposition party has demanded the cancellation of results in four states. u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un have arrived in vietnam's capital annoy ahead of a two day summit. iranian foreign minister jehad zarif has announced his resignation but it's not being accepted by president hassan rouhani. britain's prime minister has outlined how the u.k. can avoid leaving the e.u. without a deal or delay breck's it to resume a has announced the parliament will have a second vote on a current e.u. withdrawal deal by march the twelfth partitions rejected the agreement by a massive margin in january if they veto it again then parliament will get the opportunity to vote on whether you the u.k. should depart with no agreement if they decide against no deal than a vote will be held by march fourteenth on asking the e.u. to delay the march twenty nine departure date. let me be clear i do not

want to see article fifty extended our 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 for ass by the umpteenth time it can only be described as grotesquely reckless a this is not desiring it's a deliberate strategy to run down the clock. largely has the latest from outside

parliament in london. three's a may was ramadhan parliament that she had promised m.p.'s no fewer than one hundred and eight times over the course of the last few months that the u.k. would be leaving the european union on march twenty ninth and so you can imagine the fury from those who do want to leave on that date when she's now acknowledged that there is so much concern about the u.k. leaving without any sort of trade deal plan and economic catastrophe that people fear that that would lead to that she's not offering the chance to extend equally her opponents even sure that she's going to be true to her word because she keeps going back on promises and has done over and over again but if you assume for a second that she is true to her words then the logic almost certainly now will be that on march the twelfth m.p.'s will yet again vote down her plan on march the thirteenth they will vote down no deal because there's so little appetite for that and amongst the fourteenth they will vote for an extension potentially for

a couple of months and no more than that to give her that amount of time to try to come to an arrangement but the big question is what happens after that because after that period if there's no arrangements then as the prime minster pointed out no deal will still happen and the only alternative to that is revoking article fifty and not leaving the european union at all unless the your opinion grants yet another extension and so that's that many m.p.'s to accuse or they say she's running out of roads and they're now saying she's trying to build more roads all the time and it's very very uncertain still what's going to happen but the chance i think they have an extension is almost inevitable. thousands of students in algeria are protesting against president of disease but if the cause bid for a fifth term in office and the government demonstrations were held in several cities across the country if you're in the capital by demonstrations a band which if you care has been in power for more than twenty is what is rarely

seen in public after suffering a stroke in twenty four team protests the largest the country has seen in more than a decade first started on friday after the president announced his candidacy in the u.s. a federal judge is hearing arguments that could see saudi arabia hand over documents related to its alleged role in the nine eleven attacks families of those killed in the world trade center believe the saudi government helped the plane hijackers they want to sue the kingdom over the allegations or since room is in new york first a christian what happened in court. well lauren we've had dozens of nine eleven survivors and their family members making their presence known in the courtroom before the judge in this lawsuit the judge is considering whether or not to allow certain evidence in the case she's listening to motions filed on behalf of the plaintiffs and the kingdom of saudi arabia to that effect lawyers for the plaintiff's lawyers for the families that is in the

survivors say that they have uncovered new evidence in this case that links saudi government officials to the nine eleven hijackers now remember for fifteen of the nineteen hijackers came from saudi arabia and family members have long contended that these hijackers could not have done what they did in the united states without help from government officials here in the united states and they have been seeking evidence to prove their point in court so what we had from their attorneys is a request to force the government of saudi arabia to turn over more of these documents and to make these documents available to the public including the media and the plaintiffs themselves right now a lot of the evidence the case in the case is under seal the kingdom of saudi arabia's lawyers are making the case that this information should stay sealed but what's really interesting is the fact that the lawyers are saying right now that they have this new evidence and they want to explore it more linking the government

of saudi arabia to the hijackers and the judge will decide not today but in a written decision based on the arguments that she is hearing today whether or not to compel the government to provide more information to this effect to help the case so you mentioned that some of that hadn't was it was on the seal what new evidence was there. so what they are talking about are two saudi officials two people who were on the saudi government payroll in southern california in the years and months leading up to the attacks of september eleventh the attorneys for the plane to the plaintiffs for the families in the survivors say that they've uncovered new potential witnesses in the case and that the saudi government has not turned over any records to eliminate what the job of these people what were in the united what these people were doing and who they were answering to in the united states and they want this information including

documents about work records who these people were answering to to help illuminate that point but essentially that they are saying that there's new links and new avenues to explore and that the saudi government is not cooperating with them the saudi government for its part has denied that there was any basis to these that these allegation that these allegations are baseless and that there's no reason to pursue them further that they've turned over what they have again the judge will decide this in a written decision in the days to come christensen and we thank you very much indeed. senior palestinian official side erica has rejected the trump administration's suggestion that borders with israel should be eliminated he was responding to comments made by a son in law an advisor. who's behind the latest american middle east peace plan there is now on a tour of the region that says any peace plan does not include a palestinian state with east jerusalem as its capital is doomed to fail and

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 with. missions that indeed. there is for drop water groups from the onslaught. on of one inclusiveness then you

goodman in the country i think there is new newt order. to. sort of very sustainable peace in the country and all the military people who are our people who will be included in the national war 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 asking him whether he's optimistic he said well if we don't achieve something this round of talks there will be more hundreds of protesters in sudan have defied a government ban on unauthorised gatherings and have taken to the streets to demand

an end to present a rush precious thirty year rule a share imposed a year long state of emergency on friday and issued a raft of edicts on monday state governors have been sacked and replaced with officials from the military and security services to morgan reports from the capital khartoum. twenty four hours after swearing in his new cabinet so dense president all metal bashir issued five decrees as anti-government protests continued across the country he's already declared a year long nationwide state of emergency his new orders include outlawing any gathering or protest without a permit and banning all strikes security forces have been given powers to monitor raid and confiscate properties they can also carry out searches of people and confiscate money and goods if it suspected that emergency laws have been violated and they can restrict people's movements and activities opposition parties say it's an attempt to crack down on anyone who doesn't agree with bashir a lot of. the decrees that were issued stifle freedom whether it's the freedom of

the average individual or political freedom that's why i think these are depressing orders that take away the freedom of the people and give the authorities complete freedom to do what they want complete freedom for the authorities is complete corruption so we're against the state of emergency that was declared and the decrees that fall under us. the day after the decrees were announced protesters gathered to defy the ban anti-government demonstrations began in mid december prompted by rising costs of basic goods like bread but they quickly turned into demands for president bashir to end his thirty year rule and hand over power to an interim government demands he has rejected the government says thirty two people have been killed by security forces responded to tear gas and live ammunition rights groups say the death toll is at least fifty the new decrease also include measures targeting the country's rising inflation rate they restrict the amount of hard currency that can be carried outside the country as well as regulating fuel and gold trading and. would for economic reform there has to be

a complete state of emergency so the government can control the economy and stop the smuggling and the corruption sudan's weakness was economic weakness in the regulates who moves so the decrees can control the economy. sudan's attorney general now has the power to cancel immunity for some people suspected of violating the emergency law established a tribe and the presidential decree also states that any news which harms or undermines the state defames people are inside hatred or racism through any medium audio visual including social media is banned offenders face a fine or up to ten years in prison some analysts say the demonstrations will continue despite the ban. i don't think we'll see the porters stop in sudan will be witnessing a new political scene not just in terms of the demonstrations put in his speech the president also called for dialogue and really top members of his party and replace
