the time of your life... and, having the time of their lives — pop group abba record their first new music in over 35 years. hello and welcome to bbc world news. after an historic face to face meeting, the leaders of north and south korea have declared their commitment to work towards the complete de—nuclearisation of the korean peninsula. kim jong—un and president moon jae—in shook hands on the border at panmunjom where an armistice was signed in 1953 pausing the korean war. in a joint statement at the end of their talks, the leaders said there would be no more war on the korean peninsula. laura bicker reports from south korea.

this one outstretched hand could offer the korean peninsula a fresh start. the north korean leader, often a figure of fear, smiled as he took the historic step south. and then, he decided to direct the action. together the two leaders crossed back and forth over a border that has separated them for 65 years. applause. mr kim announced he felt a swell of emotion. an upbeat honour guard seemed to capture the mood as they headed for talks. "a new chapter of history is being written," he said. "i came here as if standing at the starting line, firing the starting signal." it was an emotional moment in this class, as nearly half

of the children are from north korea. many left their families behind. a peace treaty may be the only chance they have of seeing them again. we can't show some of their faces, to keep their loved ones safe. when was the last time you saw your mum? translation: i last saw herjanuary 21, 2011. i hope from this meeting we can live in a world where there is no war and no more nuclear weapons. translation: the first handshake is always the hard part. after that it is easy. they did it, we did it. after lunch mr kim was running a bit late, which meant a good cardio workout for his security detail. and then, in a day of extraordinary moments, came this — they simply went for a stroll,

in the most heavily fortified border in the world, and then sat for a chat, while the world tried to lip—read in korean. they did not keep us waiting long for their declaration. translation: facing each other, i wholeheartedly feel once again that north and south are the same people, and the same blood, and we cannot be separated. translation: chairman kim and i reaffirmed today that a korean peninsula without nuclear weapons is a shared goal, through complete de—nuclearisation. so they toasted the joint aim to formally end the korean war, and work towards a peace treaty. they have also promised to reunite the families torn apart by division.

on the face of it, these are strong words of ambition and hope. but amidst the lofty language, there is very little detail, and kimjong—un did not say he was willing to give up his nuclear weapons. dramatic music. there was more political theatre as the two said farewell. applause. just months ago they were on the brink of war — wow the world is watching this warm embrace. there is no doubt it is a good start, but the way ahead is still not clear. us president donald trump welcomed today's events on the korean peninsula, but warned he would not make the mistakes of past administrations. this important step, this moment where we are right now, has taken a long time, many,

many decades to get here. let's see what happens. we seek a future of peace, prosperity and harmony for the whole korean peninsula. unlocking not only a brighter future for the people of korea, but for the people of the world. however in pursuit of that goal we will not repeat the mistake of past administrations. maximum pressure will continue until denuclearisation occurs. i look forward to our meeting. it should be quite something. earlier i spoke to christine ahn. she is the founder of women cross dmz and has long advocated for peace between the two koreas. i began by asking her what was her reaction when she saw the handshake between kim jong—un and moonjae—in. it isa it is a watershed moment, and i

believe a new day for the korean peninsular, and a new day for the world, to witness historic enemies willing to shake hands, willing to express with genuine heartfelt desire, to reconcile 70 years of division and a state of war. and it was an extraordinary thing to witness. i hour—long with probably millions of koreans on the peninsular, and around the world shed tears watching the two leaders engage in this process, that will ultimately, hopefully lead to a formal conclusion to the korean war. 0ne formal conclusion to the korean war. one of the people in our report a few moments ago, with understandable optimism, which maybe you share, said the first handshake is always the hard part. doesn't history to show us that there have been so many

false dawns, if you like, between the north and south? yes, and without, i mean absolutely. and at the same time we are in a different moment, and for one we have a president in south korea, moon jae—in, who has extraordinary experience, he was the chief of staff for the last liberal president that advanced the sunshine policy, so that advanced the sunshine policy, so he has tremendous experience. but we also have a situation where he was setting this up at the beginning of his term, and he has a tremendous mandate from the south korean people, eight out of ten south koreans want there to be a pizza —— peace agreement, he enjoys popularity unseen before, and i think that the broader geopolitical situation, the rising tensions

between the us and china, have made it such that the two careers must come together —— koreas must come together to prevent nuclear war and advance that interest of the korean people, and that is what we saw in the summitand people, and that is what we saw in the summit and the panmunjom declaration that came out yesterday. 0n declaration that came out yesterday. on that point do you think we would have got to this stage if not for president trump playing bad cop to moonjae—in‘s good president trump playing bad cop to moon jae—in‘s good cop president trump playing bad cop to moonjae—in‘s good cop if you like? i would say that there are probably unintended consequences of the maximum pressure campaign, and it did work probably in the sense that it is so —— it so terrified the korean people on both sides of the demilitarised zone on the prospect ofa demilitarised zone on the prospect of a bloody nose strike. we know that a us preventive war would lead toa that a us preventive war would lead to a counter retaliation from north korea is against 87 us bases and 30,000 us troops in south korea.

within the first few days, 300,000 people would be killed, and obviously up to 25 million people would be impacted whether to be a conflict. so i think that was a tremendous incentive for the two korean leaders to get together and to begina korean leaders to get together and to begin a process, i would say that while we have a lot to anticipate with the kim and trumpet summit in a few weeks, the greatest deterrent to prevent their being any kind of conflict on the korean peninsular is what came out yesterday, which is a peace process that is beginning between north and south korea. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the health ministry in gaza says israeli forces have shot dead three palestinian protesters at demonstrations on the border. the israeli army says more than 10,000 palestinians were rioting and its troops fired in accordance with the rules of engagement. the clashes come on the fifth consecutive friday of violence. the protestors are demanding the right to return to their homes

does not want the impetuous us president to impose tariffs on germany's imports and she wants america to stay in the iran nuclear deal. mr trump's new secretary of state signalled today that is unlikely. overcoming the shortcomings, the floors of the deal, he is unlikely to stay in that deal. at a press conference after mrs merkel‘s whirlwind few hours in the white house, mr trump was even more direct about iran's nuclear ambitions. i don't talk about whether or not i would use military force, it is not appropriate to talk about, and i can tell you this, they will not be doing nuclear weapons, that i can tell you. for her part angela merkel said the iran deal was first set and it was important to curb iran's influence. asked if mr trump will continue to exempt the eu from steel and aluminium tariffs after next week, she was the classic. translation: we had exchange of views on the current state of affairs of the negotiations and the current state of affairs we re

and the current state of affairs were with them on this. the decision lies with the president. there was a dose of america first from the president to the multilateralist german chancellor. i am representing the united states, mrs merkel is representing germany. she is doing a fantasticjob. this representing germany. she is doing a fantastic job. this is representing germany. she is doing a fantasticjob. this is a very different american president, and mrs merkel like many others is learning how to handle him. the 70s pop super—group abba have reunited to record their first new music in 35 years. one of the new songs will feature in a tv special in december. the new music is yet to be released but the decision was made after the four bandmembers got together to produce an avatar to in which

journalists, and 19 members of the brazilian football team chapecoense. after taking off from santa cruz in bolivia, the pilot could have landed in bogota to refuel. but he kept going. the plane crashed minutes from medellin. critically low on fuel, the doomed flight had to circle medellin airport while another flight with an emergency was given priority to land. a bolivian air traffic controller accused air authorities of a cover—up. she had to flee to brazil to seek asylum. but today the finger was at —— was officially pointed at the bolivian airline lamia. translation: to sum up airline lamia. translation: to sum up the four causes we can say that the crash was caused by fuel exhaustion as a consequence of inappropriate risk management by lamia a—line, and specifically for this flight, lamia a—line, and specifically for this flight, they did not anticipate the minimum amount of fuel necessary for a net national flight. lamia was

as part of our crossing divides season, mark lowen looks at ways in which people are creating connections in our polarised world. good morning! for the children of the school in southern turkey, the real lessons a re the school in southern turkey, the real lessons are about each other. turkish and syrian peoples sit, learn and share together. —— pupils. this is a project to integrate the two nationalities. syrian refugees not kept apart but mixed in with their hosts. translation: i've learnt how to speak turkish, and from a turkish friends, i've learnt about their food. everything from a turkish friends, i've learnt about theirfood. everything in turkey is great. the primary school in the city of gassy untapped is one of hundreds, part of a new integration scheme. —— gaziantep.

funded by the eu and costing several ioo funded by the eu and costing several 100 million euros, it aims to assimilate syrian refugees in turkey, rather segregating them in syrian schools. the model also works by giving syrians their own turkish lessons so they feel able to take pa rt lessons so they feel able to take part in other mixed classes. specially trained guidance teachers help the syrian children adjust. when the serie a's war broke out few expected that seven years later the refugees would still be here, school in turkish. so this project is a recognition of reality, that syrians are now virtually a permanent part of turkey society. they need to be integrated. and for many here there is still little hope of returning home. as they build their lives in turkey the school builds bridges for children who don't remember syria before the war. if you separated the refugees, the syrian refugees, from the society, they will begin to make

a world without turkey and they will not recognise any rules, from anybody. one day we went outside to make some sports, and there was a plane in the sky, and all of them looked up and thought, what is that, if that had long? some areas of gaziantep have become ghettoised. turkey shoulders three and half million syrian refugees. most are warmly welcomed. but a study shows intercommunal violence jumped three times last year. 35 were killed in clashes. the school project has brought together parents as well. araf and his motherfrom gaziantep invited to the home of his syrian classmates. at first many turkish pa rents classmates. at first many turkish pa re nts ha d classmates. at first many turkish

parents had a negative reaction. they said if we were in that situation syrians would not welcome us. situation syrians would not welcome us. i never thought that way. and i've seen that with time they have changed. they are now even more positive than i am. across the borderfrom the real positive than i am. across the border from the real fighting, positive than i am. across the borderfrom the realfighting, serie a's children have found peace here. some still dream of going home, but a generation born of war is now increasingly woven into the fabric of modern turkey. the name of the latest addition to the british royalfamily has been revealed — four days after he was shown off to the world. the duke and duchess of cambridge's third child is louis arthur charles — he'll be known as prince louis of cambridge. here's our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. it's taken four days, twice the time it took to decide the names of george and charlie, but finally the damage baby has a new name, louis. —— cambridge baby.

it is a departure from the anglo—saxon names the royals are normally choose for something which is french and german in origin. so what is going on? is this a subtle message of solidarity with europe? or is it simply that william and catherine liked the name? the evidence suggests the latter. after william's birth in 1982 he was named by his parents william arthur philip louis. it was a tribute by prince charles to his beloved great—uncle, lord louis. earl who had been murdered by the ira three years before william's birth. —— earl mountbatten of burma. five years ago william and catherine named their first one son george alexander louis. —— firstborn. so the name has threaded its way through the generations. now, with the arrival of the latest royal baby, the british royal family has a prince whose name has family links and

a cross—channel connection. louis is ending with strong european associations in royal terms. most particularly with france. france had 18 kings called louis, including louis xiv, who reigned for 72 years. so what do people makeof the name louis? we are french, so we kind of like it. obviously. and as for the brits? i love the name louis. i'm so pleased it is not going to be arthur. so pleased. that the middle name, louis arthur charles. four days old and little louis is already creating his own entente cordiale. that sit for the sour. remember, you can get plenty more online. —— that use it for this hour. —— is it. though. let's bring you up—to—date
