yes president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un have arrived in vietnam's capital hanoi ahead of a two day summit wednesday's talks will address one of the world's biggest security concerns kim's pursuit of a nuclear program the leaders first met last june in singapore are 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 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 planners. we fell in love even though a former state department official from the obama administration was impressed i have a dozen criticisms of the trumpet ministration foreign policy problems 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 out zero hanoi. ok stand says it has the right to respond to indian ass strikes on its territory and has called for a meeting with their top nuclear command authority this comes after india launched air strikes close to the border of pakistan and pakistan administered kashmir the raids targeted the armed group jaish e mohammad which carried out an attack that killed fourteen members of india's security forces this month there's jimmy a report some new danny. these pictures released by the pakistani military show the

a perfect applied to pakistan and this reply was a much needed one. and vs countrymen are extremely happy and we want to tank in the forces. that make it one finished istead it isn't right 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

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 and being adamant that he did the best that he could in this deal was better than no with the deal at all under the circumstances that they were working in still to come on al-jazeera. i know members across the house are genuinely wanted it's that time is running out juries may office british m.p.'s a vote on delaying breaks it or leaving the e.u. without a deal. and why u.s. government officials are urging european companies to shun china's biggest tech giant. hallo it's getting hotter again in south australia to be all of south australia

political analyst says it's unlikely it will be able to broker a peace agreement jared. thinks he can resolve the israel palestine issue even though he couldn't even resolve one building in manhattan for some reason he thinks he's talented the north take on a century long conflict. with with being so closely associated with israel is of course a problem that a lot of people are talking about but somehow the administration doesn't seem to think it's much. of a problem in fact they think of it as an asset. in trusting jericho with resolving the palestinian problem it's like in trusting the taleban with that with the american security it's like trusting israel's security to hamas. is such a radical zionist that in the line of radical zionists of the last twenty five years who were involved in the peace process on the american side he's really by

should depart with no agreement if they decide against no deal that a vote will be held by march fourteenth on asking the e.u. to delay the march twenty ninth departure date parents lee 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 or plan an 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 her 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 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 of that period if there's no arrangements then as the prime minister 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 led 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 in the us a federal judge is hearing arguments that could see saudi arabia hand over documents related to its alleged

government to turn over more documents specifically related to two officials in southern california who had contact with two of the hijackers and helped them settle in the united states in the run up to nine eleven and now saudi officials say they've handed over what documents they have and that the allegations against the government are baseless they are asking the judge to provide secrecy in the case and to not release some of these documents to the public the plaintiff's attorneys want more transparency and more information the judge is expected to make a decision in the coming days chinese telecoms john huawei has found itself in the middle of the us china trade war it sells products to more than one hundred seventy countries and is a key provider of infrastructure for the new five g. network that will roll out in twenty twenty but hallway is under scrutiny for its links to the chinese government and its business practices challenging the report.
