kim jong un reportedly oversaw the test launch of what it calls a new weapons system it would be the first public test since the hanoi summit between kim and the us president donald trump ended in february without an agreement mcbride now from seoul this seems to be a timely reminder from north korea of its military strength photos released by state run media show kim jong un visiting an airbase on choose day his first military drill inspection since last november. and then wednesday he reportedly attended a weapons test. described as a tactical weapon it's far less provocative than people listing missiles north korea tested more than a year ago but seems intended to show its frustration at the failure to win sanctions relief at the hanoi summit there could have been some deal in hanoi and the united states by going going big as they put it made sure there wasn't any deal

on end and kim jong un would like president trump to think again about getting some kind of a deal that would be in both countries benefit last week donald trump said he was open to a third summit but kim replied he'd be interested only if the u.s. lifts some of its sanctions by year's end. the fear is if the talks fail the north could return to the ballistic missile the nuclear testing of the past we still seem to be a long way from that but here in the south diplomatic efforts are under way to make sure it doesn't happen. south korean president moon j.n. isn't working towards another summit with kim talk to his defense ministry spokesperson seem to play down news of the weapons test so as not to derail that effort. and speculation is mounting about a first summit between kim and russian president vladimir putin in the russia can

provide some diplomatic assistance but russia is not going to subsidize moscow on a large scale russia is not going to violate sanctions the key to sanctions relief remains the u.s. and this week show of strength seems aimed in its direction robert bright al-jazeera sold. in the next few hours we're finding out what's in the report by the u.s. special counsel robert muller into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the investigation is two years in the making an edited version of the four hundred page report is expected to be released even though democrats have been demanding access to all of it rose jordan from washington. the timeline for the release of the mole report is somewhat unusual to put it mildly first at about nine thirty am local time the u.s. attorney general bill barr will speak to reporters about this report which will

have been edited to protect confidential information that leads to investigations classified information and information that could unfairly bar the reputations of people who are not in the public sphere then ninety minutes later members of congress will get the report then afterwards the report will be made public via the internet now that begs a couple of questions how could reporters x. questions about a report that they haven't seen and why is it that members of congress have to first wait for a press conference before they actually get the reports which they say that they need to have as part of their oversight duties jerry dowd lawyer is the chairperson of the house judiciary committee he spoke late on red state evening we are certainly not. satisfied with that we have repeatedly said what is demanded of by the situation and that is that the judiciary committee given the entire report and

the underlying evidence. so that we can make those judgments for ourselves in the judiciary committee can as has been the case in prior situations decide which limited portions of the report might have to be kept secret so as not to reveal sources and methods of intelligence or for some other legitimate reason but that's a decision for the committee to make not for the attorney general now it was reported late evening by the new york times and other print media that apparently the attorney general's office has been meeting with white house officials about the contents of the bowl report something which members of congress say should never have happened if anything this is only going to ramp up a congressional democrats. it's to try to get the full report as well the supporting evidence released to the public so that they could decide how to proceed and whether to hold eighty what the tribe presidential campaign of one hundred sixteen responsible for any

a detention order in connection with corruption charges over his relationship with a giant construction company in latin america called on the budget and garcia and nine associates were accused of receiving illegal payments and money laundering the sixty nine year old former president was already the subject of a travel ban on tuesday in his last ever interview he repeatedly denied the charges dismissing them as speculation adding that he never sold himself and that is proven to be a great chance so what i can accept and which i reject completely having been head of state two times is that there are these baseless speculations. and i saw himself as a victim last nov them. he entered the two way embassy in lima seeking asylum he spent two weeks there until the government rejected his request saying there was no evidence of political persecution that seems to court has clashed with police here at the hospital where the former president has died his political allies say that

political turmoil but it took just hours to destroy nearly nine centers of history the world has just science was being renovated when a flying golf the gothic cathedral for many friends people than us was a symbol of identity the government is already a promising to rebuild and make it more beautiful than ever its announced an architecture can petition for the recalls russian fintan has more. when the spiral collapsed france felt a part of its identity pull with it more than eight hundred fifty years of history was engulfed in flame. overflowed as thousands of liters of water were pumped in the french president vowed to rebuild the cathedral more beautifully than ever before and within just five years. throughout our history we have

built cities pullets and churches many have burned many have been destroyed by wood walls revolutions a human falls every time every time we have we built the. donations for the rebuild have flooded in from france's richest people two hundred twenty five million alone from luxury goods magnate bernard are no. compare that to just before the fire when the catholic church struggled to secure money to repair masonry damaged by time and pollution experts from around the world are offering their services with help of new technology u.s. and european researchers have used lasers over the years to make precise three d. models of the cathedral and some of suggested asking the creators of this computer game for help artist spent two years recreating every detail of the building many hope that it won't be long before the not rises from the ashes and becomes the grand dame at the center of paris once again into manhattan for inside story let's

society and she joins us from paris on skype from italy is that a birth or did julio scientific order nato there a research project which documents in europe with three d. modeling and the london we have francis maude an architect and director donald associates who took part in the restoration of the windsor castle in the ok welcome to you all karen i think the question that many people are asking right now is how will not all done but we're built is going to be the same again and actually that's a big subject of debate right now because of course there are one norms of construction and the history of the monument that has to be respected but as we know there was just a competition that was announced today. for an international competition from architects across the world with a new spire which is an element which will bring obviously something new to the cathedral so they're not planning obviously do just reconstruct the nineteenth

century spire which was done during a major restoration by the famous restore of you the viewer later duca so that's one element in terms of the rest of the of the architecture. there may be improvements in terms of techniques but they still have to respect the spirit of the building ok which is always a debate in terms of restoration what we will have to go into more details about those particular aspects of the building robo about how difficult is this task going to be for for the french architects at the moment they will start the restoration of the hottest site. where difficult will it is in that in the kind of building. that. it will dispense somebody that. obviously reconstruction is based on the knowledge about the building that. technology is used in. the private sector and it in the center is at that.

particular so no it is not difficult in terms of technologies now again of this digital to understand and to not exactly heart and eliminate would be very upset about this because this is the. only friends in europe. presume that there isn't how didn't they want to inspect. was obviously. you know that it has been locked down so and are stranded and there instead of the fun from lengthens and and their inspection. really why. aren't the. deck analogy sorrow that they're having that they will they will build on fourteen

ok which is the way for it francis tell us a little bit i mean from your own experience with the restoration of the windsor castle what are the major challenges that you faced that the friends architects and the french authorities could face with. i think there's a clear point where you need to start a project of this kind in that we really need to be able to stabilize the surviving parts of the structure which are going to include the external walls and the vaults which survive over most parts of the cathedral. because obviously the structural dynamic of them has changed considerably with the collapse of the roof above them so there's a big project to do there straight away to make sure that as much of the fabric as possible can be saved and there's also a need to put a temporary roof over the whole of the site to prevent any more rainfall getting into because the key thing we also want to be able to do is to dry out the

structure as much as we can you know we've had a lot of water poured into it in an attempt to put out the fire and the building these dry out because of that and then once we have got a weather tight. weather tight enclosure around the building and we've been able to stabilize the standing after the structure we can then go through and look at the day which has fallen from the roof structure which has fallen down into the neighbor's world to identify how much more fiber which has fall down could be salvaged from that and could be incorporated into the rebuilt cathedral care of the governor says there is going to take five years to complete the restoration of the cathedral do you think this is a realistic aim i would say it's very ambitious it's a very ambitious goal it's difficult to assess as we still don't know what structural elements as roberto was saying need to be replaced also apparently there may have been some damage to some of those stones are on the upper level because of the heat so all of that has to be evaluated. so before before they can really get

into restoring it they still have to do the finished evaluation for the structure but five years seems like a very very ambitious or robber to the law that type of project there are some experts who are now saying that you need first of. to go through all the digital archives technology you need to look at into the financial considerations look into the structure itself of the cathedral and you look at what kind of innovations you were put into place and if you're sum it up it seems that you need at least twenty years to be able to complete this whole endeavor do you agree with this assessment . that it the. moment probably the. story. we know that. there is. so tight about it sorry it really is counted. and you see.

i would assume that we're only. digits are on fire at you know but actually. i don't know at all with chandra levy riette because of course he is being. treated all very rich and ends up the only information. he could leave the area for a little structure or a illusion it was dark and it was the. friend says this looks like a very delicate task in a way or another because you have to look into whatever innovation you would put into place as an architect without compromising the structural integrity of the building because we're automotive we're talking about a very ancient structure so how to strike this balance between a very ancient structure and the need for more were ovation and draw bost ceilings

for example. i think the key features of mediæval and other ancient structures is a certain degree of flexibility in the original construction in the small size of the stone the medium size the stones and the mortar which joins them together as well as the use of term allows a certain amount of movement and settle in the structure without completely compromising the integrity of the building as a whole and that therefore the imposition of some materials now it's hard cement which acts as a much more rigid type of structure it can give difficulties if not carefully managed that said we need to look back at the history of other repairs which have been made to cathedrals over the past and perhaps good examples include the post-war reconstruction period it's a reims in france after the first world war where a steel frame roof structure was included there which still stands today and that

gave a faster rebuilding time as well as a fire proof structure i'm not saying that that's precisely what should be done here but i'm saying there's a possibility of one of the things which can be considered when the quantity of remains of the existing roof has been analyzed and evaluated for suitability for incorporation into the repaired structure as well as of course in the context of whatever new kind of spire will be designed as of the competition the president macro as announced carry the little dam was a process of renovation which was expected to take some twenty years before being completed and they were having problems with financing the whole. project do you think that things are changing you know and that they will not face any problems when it comes to this mammoth task yes well unfortunately this is one of the bright side of this catastrophe. i know that they did have they were still actively seeking for.
