on a handshake on the 3rd meeting and then. became the 1st ever sitting u.s. president to step on to north korean soil. the 2 then walked back into the south underdressed reporters stepping of course that was agreed on a lot of rhetoric. a lot of friendships and didn't particularly a great friendship so i just thank you very quickly notice that i want to thank you show you how i believe looking at this action this is an expression of his willingness to eliminate the unfortunate past and begin a new future. then what sounded like an invitation that would invite him right after this i waited to hear from. the 2 leaders of nations still technically at war a peace treaty was never signed when the korean war ended 66 years ago then went to

what's known as the freedom house on the south korean side of the d.m.z. that is cool because here i've always wanted to meet you at this place as a symbol of the separation of the north and the south and a reminder of the unfortunate past meeting at such a place shows that we are willing to put an end to the unfortunate past in all. open a new future to provide positive opportunities in the future. at the end of 15 minutes of talks president trump announced that detailed negotiations will soon begin steve is going to do a fantastic job he's going to be representing. us in the talks and. will be we will be dealing with south korea will be dealing with president moon and his people but pretty much it's going to be the initial dose would be between the united states and with north korea this is now the difficult bit the devil is in the detail there now need to be complex negotiations involving military scientific

and nuclear experts western diplomats who've been involved in diplomacy with pyongyang in the past say on previous occasions north korea has lied and cheated as he left south korea president trump seemed very happy but it's worth remembering the challenge ahead north korea's not yet given up any part of its sophisticated nuclear program the international community has not lifted any of it scribbling sanctions james berets al-jazeera south korea. and now rob mcbride has more on how this historic meeting is playing out in south korea. this is being seen as a major personal achievement for president moon j.n. of south korea who's been under increasing pressure since the failure of the hanoi summit both here at home and also from north korea throughout the events of sunday he tactfully remained very much at the sidelines allowing donald trump to claim

credit for this historic day in reality though he is seen as being the instigator of this process of reconciliation if the day's events of stepping across the border is seen by the end of this year as one of the news highlights of 2019 then it will be. remembered the moon j.n. did exactly the same last year becoming the news highlight of $2800.00 starting this whole process that has led to donald trump crossing over the border but as he always has done throughout this whole process of south korea very much giving full credit to donald trump. you know what we really want is permanent peace on the korean peninsula mr trump will be going down in history as the president who made peace on the korean peninsula and i would like to give my appreciation to donald trump and kim jong un if this does turn out to be a historic day for the korean peninsula and the people of north korea have yet to

hear about it as always state run media in north korea needs time to edit and process these images into a form that 6 sept of all told the north korean leadership especially given a subject as sensitive as the leader of the united states stepping over into north korea while the networks of the world have been broadcasting live these unfolding events throughout sunday the state run broadcaster in north korea has been broadcasting the usual diet of propaganda documentaries and patrie arctic karaoke songs. the shooting down of a u.s. spy drone a couple of weeks ago has focused attention on iran and stick knowledge iran and celebrated what they hail that's an important show of military strength. from tehran. in the days after iran shot down an american surveillance drone u.s. leader said there had been no air space violation to warrant such an attack while

the 2 sides argued about where it happened military strategists were likely discussing how the global hawk is jet propelled expensive and one of the most sophisticated drones to take to the skies. iran's military commander said it was flying higher than a commercial airliner when it was brought down by a surface to air missile made in iran iranian leaders said it was a significant display of military know how to read. from a military point of view the detection of a drone is not easy the radar the missiles it was hit with were all iranian maint those who are military experts they know how significant this is iran's arsenal is a patchwork of bought and borrowed technology upgraded over the years before 979 the united states helped iran develop its air defense system after the islamic revolution iran purchased missile systems from countries including russia and china and worked with north korea and syria to develop targeting technology and boost its domestic military production. when george w. bush was u.s.

president drone technology remained secret barack obama expanded drone flights and made them a more conventional weapon of war. for donald trump and his successors having eyes in the skies over hostile lands will come with the risk of countermeasures against these after the shooting down fishermen were still pulling wreckage out of iranian waters and state media highlighted other u.s. drones that iran claims it either shot down or hacked into landed and copied reverse engineered iranian drones are almost identical to american ones iran's military has taught itself how to build them and perhaps more importantly how to break them and it says if it has to you can do it again these. 2 pieces of technology the radar the mesan they show iran a very advanced and sophisticated technology once the global hawk was shut down that was exactly the moment i believe they put a very fair hold on any kind of invasion to or so on. and on.

it was a warning to americans that we have the capability to target the ships submarines and drawings and secondly it was a warning to some countries of the persian gulf to any bases used for american forces will be considered enemy territory and will be targeted on friday the united states deployed a small squadron of stealth fighters f. 22 raptors to the old air base in qatar home to u.s. central command iran has acquired some u.s. stealth tech over the years but how iranian defenses will fare against some of the most lethal manned fighter aircraft in the american arsenal is a question world leaders calling for a scaling down of tensions are hoping remains unanswered in iran the downing of an american drone is being seen as a deterrent reducing the risk of an all out american invasion but iran's critics might say it makes things worse president trump said he called offer retaliatory strike to spare iranian lives with the stakes so high it may make it difficult to do that a 2nd time. israeli forces have released the palestinian

not long ago this was a traditional farm but the owners decided to shut their eyes and see what would happen if they allowed nature to take us all back through astounded even them the race at which it all grew back now it not only absorbs huge amounts of carbon dioxide but is teeming with wildlife species have come back here like the stork in that tree off in the distance that haven't been seen in the u.k. the hundreds of years before that it had been really you know we could see it was it was the typical monoculture of british army and we used to travel the world to look at wildlife and we never once thought that we could get it back on our doorstep and this was where i mean really as much as anywhere when i can expect large swaths of being groomed to turn into landscapes but i think this could be used within a mix of other other. other solutions for giving space nature but is it farming no crops but animals roaming free income for meat sales topped up

by camping in large enthusiastic european subsidies it is absolutely impossible to imagine that this used to be a wheat field only 15 years ago but it just shows you what happens when you let nature take its course and it does speak very much for the entire philosophy of this place which is that farming obviously has very much been part of the problem as far climate change is concerned but it can be part of the solution as well as roads have been here you know i've said tree nearby though there's some skepticism about this new model but like his neighbors david doesn't own all his land and has to make a profit to pay the rents so he says he still has an eye on the environment letting land go fallow letting the trees grow for the kingfishers to nest in but next to all this other crops see grows for sale the modern side of farming blamed for so many involved. mental problems we have all the bar diversity with species total

dogs on the naughty gals here that you might find on rewarding saw as well but we produce loads of food food as well rather than all the money being poured into a very small area the 4 of the farmland or the land of the country would be far better to use it to create that mixture so bought a versity and food and farming along so it the problem is that some environmentalists say the earth may only have 60 harvests left that's 60 years before the soil is damaged beyond repair consequently the net this states maintains a lot of visitors from europe and beyond looking at what they've done as the sense of climate crisis grows and people look for radical solutions but british politics are changing even faster and what happens to this place is a model the grand experiment is not at all clear gloriously al jazeera in sussex.

is there and these are top stories so don's health ministry says 7 people have been killed $181.00 wounded during mass rallies throughout the country live ammunition and tear gas were fired at protesters have been demanding civilian rule these were the 1st bass rallies since a violent crackdown on protesters nearly a month ago. and police have used tear gas and pepper spray on protesters in hong kong this comes as the territory prepares to mark the 22nd anniversary of its handover from britain to china you're looking at live pictures here up to $1000000.00 protesters are expected to take to the streets there's been anger over an extradition bill that could allow criminal suspects to be sent to mainland china for trial they want the proposals to be completely withdrawn and more guarantees for hong kong's democracy. sorry clark has more from hong kong. and we've just heard that they are actually moving that flag raising ceremony. but they suggest

it's because of weather concerns but it's obviously due to security concerns as you can see around me where right in the middle of where all the protest is a gathering and where the official ceremonies the flag rising ceremonies on my right behind me we're seeing thousands of protesters now flooding into where we are this road is blocked off this whole area is in lockdown on another road about 200 meters away it's blocked off flights have resumed the libyan capital is only functioning airports it is briefly taken out of action after being hit by an airstrike on forces loyal to the warlord. their attack destroy the turkish drone that was parked on one of the airports runways and donald trump has returned home after committing to restarting talks on north korea's nuclear program following an historic meeting with kim jong un and kim of the demilitarized zone between north and south korea where he became the 1st sitting u.s. president to set foot in the north. those other headlines the u.s.

will continue year after inside story that's up next. who's fueling the fighting in libya the united arab emirates is accused of supplying flights is trying to seize tripoli with antitank missiles made in the united states so how did u.s. weapons end up in the hands of the lord. who's trying to overthrow the u.n. recognized government this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm peter dobby it's a question being asked by libya's internationally recognized government in tripoli and in washington how did u.s. made antitank missiles sold to the united arab emirates and up on the battlefield in libya the libyan army supporting the u.n. recognize government says boxes of the weapons stamped with you a logos were found in got a young troops recapture the city on weapons day 3 months after the warlord after took control they're trying to use it as a springboard for his campaign to seize the capital after it has the support of regional powers including saudi arabia and the and iraq says the weapons find raises questions about whether the u.a.e. is violating internationally recognized u.s. arms sales agreements and the u.n. arms and boggo on libya. seized weapons and ammunitions have been

sent to the specialized experts and have been documented the military commanders and the political leaders are now fully aware of these weapons and ammunitions to make the right decisions that will be announced well libya correspondent. in tripoli sets up our discussion. as a the capture of the strategic town over the un from have to has forces forces loyal to libya's you and backed government of national accord announcing that they captured a number of anti tanks rockets. a.t.g. sophisticated advances u.s. made anti tanks rockets now the military sources with the government of national accord say that they have assigned a team of experts to check and document these weapons and also to arrange a report to be submitted to the concern of international institutions possibly in the united nations meanwhile officials at the pentagon as department of defense say

that they're aware of these reports but meanwhile they're investigating and demanding additional information we know that libya is under arms embargo since 2011 but you and backed government of national accord says it's the only libyan institution entitled to import weapons in coordination with the security council but the united arab emirates which is. accused of supplying have to deal with those anti tanks javelin a.g.t. and anti tanks rockets has been providing help to with weapons drawn and also fighter jets since 2014. this could be. this could possibly be a violation of the saves agreement between the united arab emirates and the united states but the question now is whether or not the latest state is going to take an action against the united arab emirates given the fact that there are mutual

interests between the 2 countries who would argue i had full insight as to. tripoli . we have a panel let's bring them in joining us from tripoli sabah couche a former senior advisor to the negotiating team of the high council of states from london andrew smith spokesman for the campaign against the arms trade and from washington lawrence korb former u.s. assistant secretary of defense welcome to you all in tripoli there are in-built guarantees here why are they not working there are no guarantees in the end user certificate have no in forstmann mechanism and that's probably one of the biggest reasons for their failure i mean their failure is not new their failure was apparent in the many conflicts where u.s.

arms and french arms ended up in the hands of all groups affiliated with al qaida and isis is themselves so this is not new i think historically. these guarantees did not work did not work in the 1936 the 1939 civil war were german arms ended up busy in on both sides to greece anderson is in london specifically about these weapons that have ended up in libya they are they are branded with the u.a.e. logo on them how did these weapons get from a production line in the united states to libya. i mean point as it is no such thing as arms control once arms enter a war zone in fact was very little control over arms once they leave our shores particularly small arms there's no way of knowing who your weapon will ultimately end up with and 2 it will ultimately be used against so i think the key point here

is that for all the end user certificates and for the so-called guarantees which can be issued they are actually largely very meaningless and that by putting weapons into war zones by selling weapons to despotic regimes by selling weapons to regimes with very poor stability or very crude human rights records we don't know where her ultimately going to end up we could be feeling human rights abuses and wars for years and years to come lawrence korb in washington they were originally sold we understand to the united arab emirates where they sold in the knowledge that they would then go on to a another country no not at the time under the obama administration in fact it's against the u.s. law for weapons we sell to one country to go to another without the u.s. permission what's different here unlike what's happening in yemen a lot of times the weapons we supplied to the usa in the saudis which we know were

being used were actually captured on the battlefield by hoodies or groups allied to them this time it looks like the usa just gave them right to general have to are in violation not only of u.s. policy but u.n. policy. tripoli there are no we understand we are at the beginnings of multiple investigations that's fine and dandy what are the chances that police have to gives those investigating officials chapter and verse on where he got the weapons who supplied them to him and how much money he gave them to get them. nothing he's not going to give any corporation not give any corporation to the international criminal court he thinks he has enough political support from the french and the russians the immoralities saudis and egyptians to get away with this stuff he hasn't handed over or somebody that's wanted by the international criminal

court and i think these weapons are representative of. the u.a.e. doubling down in a support of after thinking that they can get away with it based on the fact that the us or the trumpet administration needs its cooperation and the saudis and egyptians in implementing the. deal of the century andrew is it possible to tighten and use legislation. the main thing that has to happen is a far stricter policy regarding who arms are sold to look ultimately we want to live in a world where nobody is selling weapons to anybody and people aren't going to war there obviously that's not going to happen in the short term but certainly in the short term what we should be looking at is much tighter regulations and controls over who where these weapons are sold what's the character of their being sold to what is the political situation they are being sold to. at the moment so many

different arms from so many different providers are going into a region which is already very tense in the middle east i don't believe that pouring more weapons into it is going to me any less so and looking at the character of the ember at the mit tech killer early despotic regime but so are then so are many of the regimes in region who are being armed and supported there is an incentive for cooperation because. at the moment there's almost certainly going to be said steady stream of black market weapons going in as well as weapons which are being seized lawrence in washington would it be fair to say that so many countries a kind of half adopt in the moral high ground on this as an issue because as an issue globally it is getting traction and yet they're saying one thing and doing something completely different. well i think what happened here we'll find out what all is said and done is the fact that president trump has leaned toward general history in fact he had a conversation with them i think that's with the usa he thought well he's not going

to get upset the remedy in the united states is for the congress has just done for the saudis which is to prevent the arms sales now president trump could declare an emergency and do it anyway but i think over time opposition to the sales particularly to the saudis in the usa is really building in the in the united states and the other thing that is important to keep in mind is once you're selling you really don't have control anymore what you can do is not sell into that country again if they do what the u.a.e. appears to have done here and should the world really be so very very surprised to see i mean the u.a.e. played a significant role in the events surrounding what happened in the skies above and the land surrounding benghazi back in 2017. i don't think that people should be surprised i think i agree entirely for them lawrence just said about the growing

opposition to these arms sales within the us i think we the fact that senate and congress have taken a line against arm sales to say g.b. and support for the sages human for war in yemen is historic and it's very important but it's also the case that these weapons should never have been sold in the 1st place their safety regime their immorality regime they had appalling characters before the war in yemen they have appalling characters know they've always been death parts and dictatorships and they should not be have been receiving weapons in the 1st place specifically with reference. to. would this have happened with this weaponry that's got to him via the u.a.e. if donald trump hadn't made a phone call last april we've already touched on this but last april there was a phone call where the perception for i have to was donald trump is edging towards indorsing me. well they've had they made

a big brouhaha about it and in libya the phone call there that ties it all off for all there are communication channels as an indication of the u.s. support for the 5. the m.r.i. it is probably thought thought that if we had hume that they delivered these weapons after the phone call but the image that you support. is not new to leave i have to or they have. built a in air base and near benghazi they have been delivering arms to after since 2040 so this will continue and i think they might have basically think they can get away with it and they have got to a gotten away with it for a long time not only libya but in yemen and other parts of the world lawrence in washington so many countries so many people who buy these weapons now seemed to

just more recently than than the time scale that sila is referring to they seem perfectly comfortable with breaching the guidelines with breaching the restrictions so has any has anything shifted or changed within that calculation that those people are making well known fact it's got worse because president trump has bragged about the arms sales that he sells to countries in the region he's made this a centerpiece of his foreign policy and every time the congress oh well wait a 2nd those weapons are ending up in the wrong hands he'll say no no i'm just creating a lot of jobs here in the united states it's what we president eisenhower called the military industrial congressional complex the fact of the matter is they still create jobs american arms trade is about half of the whole world's arms trade and so when you have a president who embraces it these countries feel even if we violate this. we're still going to be able to buy them because the president is so concerned about

american jobs and unfortunately most people in this country are not paying attention to what's happening in libya or yemen right now the focus of the whole question of iran will come onto iran in just a 2nd perhaps but andrew picking up on that point from lawrence is it a help or a hindrance when the relatively new as he was when he said this donald trump u.s. president talks about the beautiful weapons that the united states makes and also to pick up on that percentage that lawrence was using 50 percent i think i'm right in saying lawrence 50 percent of the u.s. arms sales go to specifically the middle east. i think it's not helpful when donald trump takes that tone but donald trump is a particularly appalling front man in the sense but foreign policy he's following regarding arms sales doesn't feel distinctly different from bottom as peter says it was under the obama administration under clinton the u.s.

government was by far the largest arms dealer anywhere in while and there was no shortage of dictatorships and human rights abusing regimes but it was continuously arming and supporting donald trump might be more obvious and his rhetoric might be more distasteful and his commitment to freedom and human rights might be slightly lesser but they all these presidents have forward actually very similar sorts of policies and the end results have seen u.s. political and military support for human rights abusing lesions and dictatorships across the world for decades and just so happens that donald trump is even more a verdict and open about it but just to be clear. in tripoli these weapons that we're talking about the branded you a weapons they are also being described online as being game changes does that make this more important more significant and therefore more of a worry because if these people carry on getting their hands on these weapons it means the conflicts never end that means more people die of course in the

introduction of such weapons will invite introduction of more weapons by the other side these weapons and the have to our forces who are using poor neath. in armor armor. rockets and now they have the javelin so this would would increase the pressure or no or other forces to increase their or their weapons and you know weapons are plenty around the world and there are measures that would be very happy to supply as long as you have money and. libya is both sides of the money so that this is a very dangerous situation and we don't see any political moves on the part of the u.s. or the europeans to do anything about it since the immoderate is and the saudis and the egyptians are needed in the larger scheme of things in the middle east anderson

is in london is this a double edged sword if you will when it comes to culpability i mean the surtees used cluster munitions they're banned in syria we've seen chemical weapons being used as well of course they are banned i'm going to read from an amnesty report from february of this year amnesty saying the following states recently supplies the emirates is with arms australia belgium brazil boulder area france finland germany south korea turkey the u.k. and of course the united states i could go on the list is longer we don't have time to list all the countries involved so those awkward questions will just be ignored or will somebody deal with it sooner or later. what you're under lane to the list is the need for strong multilateral action because this is the arms industry is a global industry its impacts are felt globally and sellers exist all across the world in fact many of the weapons which leave the country late for u.k. will have components which are made in other countries as well so it is definitely

a multilateral global need for multilateral global solutions and regulations but that doesn't on the other hand up to cait individual nation states of their responsibility and when we look to the u.s. has played a particularly strong role in arming the world for decades and decades when we look to russia it's been doing the same with a particular increase over recent years when we look at other countries range unit for doing much the same but in reality we are of an equally long list published by amnesty was a list which republished in 2015 of countries who had produced weapons which had been seized by isis and it wasn't that isis had bought these weapons directly from france and beauty and other european cunt. that was because they had seasoned battlefield for the large part of the point when we sell these weapons the lifespan of the weapons very often longer than the lifespan of the government and will almost always be longer than the lifespan of the political situation it sold into but tical context change but weapons can change hands and they can do

a great deal of damage lawrence korb in washington is there another imperative here we're talking clearly about libya but no matter where the proxy conflict is taking place weapons as currency because if you're the guy that sells arms the quid pro quo is you are buying the loyalty busy from the person you are selling those arms to so whether it's the us a to the u.a.e. and then from the u.a.e. to libya there's a chain reaction of loyalty there well there's no no doubt about it and what happens is that these countries will say to us well if you won't sell it to us will buy in from the russians or the chinese just recently we found out the saudis are getting you know ballistic missile technology from the chinese and the other point that we need to make is with those very sophisticated american weapons end up in the wrong hands countries like the russians will be able to negate our strength in europe or in china in the pacific so not only is it

a human catastrophe but it basically is a national security catastrophe we know that a lot of the weapons that ended up in the hands of the hodes that technology went back to iran and so that that basically is a point that has to be made because right now unfortunately people are focusing only on the economic dimension and as my colleague said it's got to be a multilateral because if the country says well if you won't buy in will buy him from phil in country x. then in fact you know you can't go ahead with this and you can stop this problem we've been just for. talking about salary is there another issue of culpability here or accountability the purchasing countries the middleman countries in this case allegedly the u.a.e. they never go to the original manufacturer slash supplier with literally a blank sheet of paper and they don't list off the countries they are going to bomb

in they are going to kill in let alone getting to the stage of having a blank sheet of paper from after who is going to give you a mission brief a statement of intent how he's going to use these game changing weapons. well you know the problems with the end user certificates are well known for decades but just to give you. a view of what the situation is look how leave after attack tripoli 10 days before a. national conference sponsored by the united nations if as gender was approved in abu dhabi 20 days before that the secretary general was in tout and colleagues that have at tack do europeans on their own the europeans and the americans and the russians and the chinese could not even tell half the world that's that wasn't nice so let alone taken a stand or making

a decision about sounds fair of weapons so i think the problem is very big and i afraid that there is nothing that can be done about it right now. it's not clearly a one size fits all andrew when it comes to the kind of embargoes that are deployed against specific countries would it be better or would it be faster to stop this happening if the embargoes turned into an embargo and it was standardized i mean the embargo of which egypt at the moment is the subject it is the subject of an embargo is weaker than other embargoed that are being applied around the middle east but then of the back about one's also got to say well the people are just ignoring or breaking the embargo who cares whether it's weak or strong to start with. the strength of him fired was often depends on of our geopolitical considerations and because a lot of the large arms suppliers consider egypt to be an ally despite the utterly appalling human rights record of the regime there then it's not

a surprise that it's a significantly weaker embargo but actually this comes to about point of influence which was raised a couple of questions ago because actually been flint's works both ways it's not so much that if we're sitting around the table selling weapons to just particular we can try to influence and very often these regimes know that they're not just buying weapons but also buying political support and crucially but also buying silence and i expect that's a big consideration for the safety of the g.m. for example at the moment who are understandably under a lot of international criticism because of the merger of jamal khashoggi and because of the terrible war v of which from yemen and so by buying weapons but also buying allies but also buying support and i think that played a crucial role in shaping the ever changing message from the trumpet ministration about from merger of the sharky in the ever changing message of countries like the u.k. have the need for a peaceful solution in yemen lawrence if there is to be

a change in this legislation if the embargoes are to be tightened if the final use declarations are to be enforced properly will that dynamic come not from the president and the prime ministers in the manufacturing countries not in the selling countries but from the voters because people will people will voice an opinion on this perhaps at the ballot box. well you hope so basically maybe with a change of administrations i know that the obama administration while they did sell things to them they were very careful about making sure they didn't up in the wrong hands but that's got to be in other words it has to be i think the leading arms banier factors who have to recognize that the short term gains that you might get from selling these things are far outweighed by the long term problems that it's causing as i mentioned both strategically as well as morally and i think that's what the united states has to get back its moral position in the world where

it stands up for a lot of these things unfortunately right now we're letting off control agreements expire we're getting out of the j.c. p. o. way with with iran we are getting out on august 2nd the intermediate nuclear forces agreement so we're just not doing what some previous administrations have done and it's got to the i my view the united states has got to take the lead because we're the world's leading arms exporter of arms around the world gentlemen we have to leave it there thanks to all our guests they were andrew smith and lawrence korb and thank you too for watching you can see the program again anytime on the web site dot com and for more discussion goes well facebook page facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also tweet us with a.j. inside story i'm at pizza don't be one for me peter don't be on the entire team here in doha thanks for watching we'll see you very soon.
