origin defense articles very seriously we are aware of these reports and we are seeking additional information we expect all recipients of u.s. origin defense equipment to abide by the end user obligations and what that means is that end user obligations simply means that when the united states sells a weapons system to another country that country agrees not to resell or rescind that weapon to another country a 3rd country a regime under u.n. sanctions or in this case apparently a warlord also under u.n. sanctions so it's unclear what the united states would do if it were proven definitively that the u.a.e. had done this and violated the end user agreement but we do know that president trump considers the u.a.e. of very important ally of the united states and that also the president has valued the u.s. arm sales very highly especially to the region conference will break here not just

at the demilitarized zone shortly. meets with kim jong il at the border for the 1st time ever in history the leaders of both korea and the u.s. to do so from crosses the military demarcation line to be the 1st time for a sitting u.s. president to set foot on the north korean side of the korean peninsula. on the summit of the world's top economists has ended in japan g. 20 leaders but about unified front on trade but failed to reach consensus on climate change. and the u.s. state department is investigating how libyan warlord i mean i have to ask forces obtained american made anti-tank missiles forces loyal to the u.n. but government said they found the weapons after retaking a city near the capital tripoli earlier this week. well more now on the tantalizing prospect of a meeting between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong un at the demilitarized zone bride joins us live now from seoul rob so any minute now we're expecting president trump to meet the north korean leader clearly there's been

a work to make this happen but it's going to be pretty historic that went it. that's right daryn yes i mean it is a case of sit back and watch history in the making we've been watching live pictures being streamed from padua this is an area between here seoul and the joint security area that's the part of the demilitarized zone where the famous blue huts of the armistice village are located where this meeting is going to take place the helicopters are well on their way in fact as i speak they could well be landing about now and then people transferring by vehicle to the the armistice villager for this meeting in a press conference that was given in the blue house at the presidential compound shortly before they took off president moon jay and donald trump spoke about the significance of this confirmed it was was indeed taking place after building speculation that it would be historic moment of course the speculation has been

building since we had this tweet on saturday morning which seems like an awful long time ago now that supposedly was the 1st mention of this of this meeting supposedly donald trump thought of it on saturday morning and consequently tweeted about it to which the north koreans responded there's a lot of other speculation though that this may have been in the offing and being planned behind the scenes for days and that this is once again if you like a bit of a cliffhanger showmanship will they won't they well it seems as though whatever the truth of it they will indeed meet it will be an historic handshake it's the 1st time a sitting u.s. president will have stepped across the demarcation line into north korea and everybody is hoping from the south korean side that it will have a real meaning real significance when it comes to restarting the dialogue about getting rid of north korea's nuclear arsenal there and that's an important point to

make rob because i mean just talk us through south korea's role in kick starting those stalled talks between the u.s. and north korea and what is president mugabe and see as his role in going forward. that's right the moon has faced an awful lot of pressure mounting pressure here both at home with opinion polls a lot of people here in south korea are very much behind this whole process of engagement with the north of dialogue but he's also faced an awful lot of criticism cold shoulder from north korea itself there is a feeling i think in north korea that moon j.n. has been overly optimistic maybe to. bragging degree about just how much influence he has over the u.s. side and that possibly with the u.s. side about the influence he can exert on the northern side he does seem to be throughout this whole process extreme lead some some aspects overly optimistic that

this process is moving forward so his credibility has taken a real dent so we have an awful lot at stake in what will or will not take place in the next hour or so but he seems confident that this will even though it's just a handshake our expectations have been managed we're not expecting any kind of formal signing of anything or an agreement that hopefully it will lead to a restarting of the dialogue and what we hope might be a 3rd summit. you've heard about line for us the south korean position but what about the north koreans what do they want from the u.s. side because it's not just about sanctions relief as it. that's right the north koreans they have taken their position has really hardened in recent weeks and months that were there was seen a return to some of their rhetoric of the past they have been very hostile to certain members more hawkish members of the u.s. administration but significantly not towards donald trump himself they have warned

quite openly that unless the united states comes back with a more realistic in their view proposal about how to get things restarted basically relief on sanctions is what they really are after then they have said that they all do go see asians are often intimating that there could be a return to the bad old days of. nuclear testing now we have had hints of that in the recent weeks and months a couple of times north korea has launched some of its missiles a less shorter range missiles nonetheless but there has been a hardening of the north korea's position but as far as the u.s. is concerned they have said they still want to see the complete denuclearization of north korea and yet having said that we have had hints from some officials on the u.s. side in recent weeks that there could be some flexibility in that if things go well this sunday afternoon on the korean peninsula at the d.m.z.

just 60 kilometers north of here seoul the hope is from the south korean side that it may lead to something more. in the south korean capital seoul rubble of to come back to you as and when that meeting takes place let's bring in diplomatic editor james bays he's standing by there for us. that's near the d.m.z. there james so this meeting you probably heard the helicopters flying over you perhaps just talk us through what you think the choreography will be i mean you've seen many of these meetings at the demilitarized zone just talk us through what we're expecting to happen. 1st on your 1st point darren i know we have not heard the helicopters flying overhead why well because those mountains you can see over there the other side of the in general river they are north korea and the u.s. military protocol to fly quite a long way away from here and then fly in the just up there. john where the actual

meeting will take place they would not fly all the way close to north korea that is a standard military protocol when they're flying of course if they were to draw if you can perhaps see the highway here behind me i'm not sure where you can see that in the shot but that's the highway they would have taken if they drove but a u.s. president even though we're going to see this very important meeting probably another very cordial meeting they still don't think it's a good idea for the u.s. president to drive in his motorcade along here it's still an active military zone and that's why marine one which is of course manned by u.s. military u.s. marine personnel is taking the president to the meeting point where we expect he's landing any moment he may well have landed we don't necessarily have pictures of the landing zone the white house pool reporters are now at the point we think

gathered at the point where the actual meeting between kim and trump will take place and we expect them to shake hands across the line at the d.m.z. that separates north korea and south korea an armistice line there was no peace treaty it's where the war stopped where the fighting stopped that is the line that has existed ever since actually 66 years and 3 days ago soon only just past the anniversary of the end of the korean war part of all of this the negotiations will be to try and get a formal peace treaty. in terms of the format for this we expect it according to president trump and sometimes he can be pretty unpredictable as i'm sure all of us are aware nothing always goes according to plan but he has said this will be short it will be a handshake across the dividing line we do know james just question just stay with

us for. just a little where 2nd because we're seeing pictures now of the u.s. president's motorcade arriving at panmunjom the joint security zone that famous area with the blue hats these the pictures that we're just seeing now lots of activity there panmunjom at the joint security zone so james let me just come back to you as a watching these pictures i mean when these leaders do shake hands it will be the 3rd time that both of them have met in just over a year just talk us through the significance of this james. it will be very significant worth telling you i was talking about helicopters they clearly got off the helicopter at the landing strip in the joint security area and now the last bit is by motorcade to the point where we'll see this historic moment a photo op yes but

a photo op like no one has ever seen before since north korea was founded 70 years ago yes we've had 2 meetings in the past but not at a place that is important as important as this the place that is the dividing line between the 2 koreas it will be even more historic if we see as we think we will as you see president trump in these live pictures president trump actually crossing the dividing line and stepping into north korea because he would be the 1st u.s. president sitting president in in history to step into north korea we have seen 2 former presidents jimmy carter and bill clinton visit pyongyang but after their time in office was up so that would be a very important moment james as where as we're talking to you.
