to interrupt you there which i do apologize because we are going live to another story taking place in washington the south korean president mungy in meeting from. outside the white house flanked by the first lady what they're trying to do is to find some sort of common ground so they can i guess go back to approaching north korea because that talking about north korea's nuclear aspirations donald trump the u.s. administration's fears about north korea's nuclear aspirations as well of course we've heard two headlining summits one of them in singapore of more than a few months ago you remember when mr trump was criticized when he got back to the states off the back of that summit that was the one there we covered it here i think was on the night shift on doha time certainly here on al-jazeera english for you donald trump was criticized because he went back to the states and people said oh that's great you got the photo op you didn't get any developments there was then another summit and again nobody came away with anything concrete let's bring in our

washington correspondent as we probably reracked those pictures of the south korean premier arriving at the white house so kimberly how do they do it they've got to square a tough circle here. yeah it's a very high stakes meeting that is occurring the first time that the south korean leader moon jay is meeting with u.s. president donald trump since that failed how vietnam noise summit took place and why did talks break down well donald trump told reporters at the time that he had to walk away because the offer made by the north korean leader kim jong un to in fact potentially dismantle parts of the young gun reactor an aging nuclear facility in exchange for sanctions relief just didn't go far enough for the u.s. negotiators and as a result there has been a considerable amount of hostility ever since then between the two sides so this is a high stakes meeting in terms of trying to revive diplomacy that is what we are

told the south korean leader is going to attempt to do as he sits down with donald trump we have heard talk that there may be some success at suggestions of by the the south korean delegation to try and propose to the u.s. that if it were to allow some joint economic projects between the north in the south in exchange for steps towards denuclearization that some sort of small agreement might be worthwhile even though the u.s. has maintained all the way along there will be no sanctions relief unless there is complete permanent denuclearization so these are the nuances that are going to be discussed in a very short meeting that will take place peter here at the white house it's only about one hundred minutes long from the time that the south korean leader arrives at the white house until he departs so a lot to be discussed and the stakes couldn't be higher and interesting is you can believe the way that there's been a reproach small between north and south korea mr trump is talking to the south koreans not talking face to face to the chinese but they will be looking you know

in this with intense interest because there's always been a perception around the world that the chinese have real leverage over pyongyang. yes and certainly we saw for quite a while the u.s. president trying to work with president xi talking about his very strong relationship with him in order to try to advance this to to sort of entice china to use its economic leverage especially to try and get north korea to take steps towards denuclearization that would be permanent what the united states says it's looking for but right now none of that seems to be what's on the table in fact hostility is certainly now being served potentially from both sides you have north korea accusing the united states particularly the national security adviser john bolton as well as the secretary of state pail of hostility as well as distrust and from the north korean side in the last forty eight hours there has been

a stark warning that seems to be aimed at the united states that there will be a blow to hostile forces who miscalculate sanctions and how could bring north korea to its knees so again there's a lot of pressure on the south korean leader because he has personally invested in trying to bring about his brand of diplomacy between these two sides now all on the table as these leaders sit down for a working lunch kimberly thanks very much still to come here on al-jazeera we'll tell you why it took something more for basic rights such speech to. we've got some rather wet weather pushing into central and southern parts of china at the moment that west the weather will gradually sink its way further southeast was as we go through the next couple of days the character you can see just pushing

over towards shanghai stretches down towards northern parts of vietnam sweater weather just talking in here just around the gulf of funking just pushing up into high net hong kong generally does stay dry twenty seven celsius here. crowd on the right just pushing a little it to the north of that and easing further north which still is because really heavy downpours coming it might just catch a little bit of localized flooding as a result of that but prices guys do push back in across the southern parts of china stays dry brought of course across a good pop all of india you can see the sun the heads just popping up on a satellite pages so we could still see a scattering of life is shallow as the heat wave continues forty two tells us celsius steffen not cool forty degrees hyderabad and also for new delhi a little cooler in new delhi as we go on into saturday but just a degree of thing very very hot in data much of india the heat wave will continue just want to know the bangladesh and also into new poll.

india is in the midst of a high tech revolution with over one billion mobile phones it's. not yet in a country where one in four can't be told right how can this technological boom be harnessed for the common good. life perhaps challenges a digital entrepreneur to devise an easy to struggling farms. can he find a way to bring the two worlds together. life's most baja based on al-jazeera.

welcome back let's recap your top stories for you so far this hour in sudan the military has today staged a coup after weeks of anti-government protests the defense minister says president obama bashir will be arrested and held in a quote safe place the military will be in charge of the transitional council for two years and a state of emergency put in place for three months. the founder of wiki leaks has been arrested in london and is now facing an extradition warrant from the united states on packing charges police drag julian assange from ecuador's embassy where he spent the last seven years ecuadorians a victim for what they said were quotes repeated violations of his political asylum . so as we've been reporting sudan's omar al bashir has been ousted by the military in a coup al-jazeera looks back at his thirty years of all our work for almost a year a man whose career has been defined by war he led sudan through various conflicts

and during the break up of africa's largest country he was the last man to lead a united sudan al bashir who came to power in a bloodless military coup in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine overthrowing a democratically elected government he ran the country as a military ruler for more than twenty five years where conflict was almost constant . to civil wars between the north and south cost the lives of one and a half million people. and the continuing conflict in the western region of darfur killed more than two hundred thousand people and fourth two million others to flee their homes a fragile peace took hold in two thousand and three and after two years of negotiations the rebels signed a peace deal with the government to end the civil war i that's agreement led to a referendum for independence in south sudan making it the world's newest country in twenty eight eleven. al bashir was the only serving head of state to be indicted

for war crimes international criminal court in the hague issued to arrest warrants the charges stem from the war in darfur all human rights groups say the charges are bonded over al bashir has been charged with very serious crimes including the crimes of genocide war crimes and crimes against humanity these are all related to the country's very very abusive counterinsurgency campaign in daraa for over the last ten to fifteen years that has resulted in numerous numerous you know deaths up to you know hundreds of thousands in mass displacement despite arrest warrants and force al bashir has visited a number of countries in the region including syria. while the rest of the region has been experiencing an arab spring alba she had faced little political unrest until late twenty eighteen when the government decided to triple the price of bread. it triggered protests nationwide and calls for his

resignation as they accuse him of mismanaging the economy sending food prices high and causing regular fuel shortages all muddled but she would have served as president until the end of his term next year but now he'll be remembered as one of the last remaining african strong men brought down by a people's uprising. britain's prime minister is resuming talks with the opposition to try and find a way out of the brics deadlock forty eight hours before the u.k. was due to crash out of the e.u. an emergency summit of e.u. leaders agreed to a six month extension to resume told parliament she's hoping to get a withdrawal agreement passed next month so british voters avoid the forthcoming elections. the choices we face are stark and the timetable is clear i believe we must now press on at pace with our efforts to reach. consensus on

a deal that is in the national interest i welcome the discussions that have taken place with the opposition in recent days and the further talks which are resuming today this is not the normal way of british politics and it is uncomfortable for many in both the government and opposition parties reaching an agreement will not be easy because to be successful it will require both sides to make compromises bernard smith has more from london. prime minister to reason may says the whole country is extremely frustrated opposition leader jeremy corbyn says asking for a second extension is a diplomatic failure but both the conservative and opposition parties say they will continue talks to see if they can find some way of coming together ideally before european elections towards the end of may then the government hopes to get its withdrawal agreement through parliament before to take part in those elections the problem is there are still these red lines that the government of the labor party

says they must give way on particularly on a customs union which keeps the u.k. closely aligned to e.u. rules regulations and tariffs the government says it doesn't want to customs union is not going to have one labor says it wants one and then even if both sides manage to come together the problem with the withdrawal agreement is that it still can sainz this clause that guarantees an open border between northern ireland and the irish republic whatever happens in future talks between the e.u. and the u.k. but backstop is what has stopped previous attempts by the prime minister to get to a deal through parliament there's no indication that m.p.'s will be any less divided on this in six months than they are now. the polls have closed after the first of six weeks of voting in the world's largest ever election nine hundred million indians are registered to vote in was seen as a popularity test for the governing b.g.p. and five years as prime minister jamail saw how the massive exercise in democracy started in the capital city new delhi. these people were among

the first to vote arriving early at this polling station in the predation to cast their ballot in the first of india's seven phase election ninety one parliamentary seats are being decided in twenty regions this first round. security personnel are kept to watch why nine hundred million registered voters there are many different concerns. our main issue is development so i will vote for development others have different priorities so. we hope that the next government will reduce unemployment and improve security as more over roads should be made and poverty be reduced corruption is also a major problem. among india's youth unemployment is at its highest in decades subset and the fastest chief in the us is the issue of children there can be no big issues in the us jobs are the biggest issue. many of the b j p supporters are small

traders and it says it's made it easier to do business and improve services for the poor and middle classes but opposition parties blame it for high youth unemployment exploiting divides in communities and the ongoing debt crisis facing farmers opinion polls suggest the b j p is heading for a reduced majority. about more you worry but some analysts say many indian voters do not decide whom to vote for until the last minute the previous bigotry dizzy everybody was thinking. and then the slogan for india shining but it put out. put out so you never know what is going on what i'm going to cut and is there. going to be. the main opposition congress is hoping to capitalize on this uncertainty are promising voters millions of new jobs as well as a guaranteed minimum income for the poorest twenty percent but it's uncertain if that's enough to persuade voters. this election is just getting started and there's

still six more phases to come whether voters give the b.g.p. another chance elect the opposition or coalition of regional parties takes power will be seen over the coming weeks says jamail al-jazeera new delhi. the turkish government has promised financial reforms to revive its ailing economy in the past year turkey is focused on inflation and recession while the national currency the euro has plunged nearly thirty percent in value many consumers are finding it difficult to afford imported goods from istanbul. turkey is troubled economy is affecting what people can afford to buy onions a mainstay of turkish cuisine have almost doubled in price in the past few weeks consumers are feeling the squeeze much greater. told me the prices all things i wanted i had to give them back they were too expensive for me turkey is heavily dependent on foreign imports on everything from food to building materials the
