his first official asian tour china's president treats trump to a private tour of the forbidden city but just ahead likely tense talks between the world's two superpowers at odds over trade and north korea. also coming up germany could become the first european country to recognize a third gender this after a top court rules that current laws discriminate against intersex people. and catalonia separatists plant their flag in brussels there ousted president is there launching a war of words against spain can he convince the rest of europe that secession is a good thing. i'm sorry kelly thank you so much for joining us donald trump has arrived in china for what his aides view as the most significant part of his five country tour of

asia chinese president xi jinping and his wife gave the u.s. president and first lady a private tour of the forbidden city a compound in the center of beijing now talks between the two presidents are set to focus on trade and north korea the u.s. hopes that china will ramp up economic pressure on its ally to abandon its nuclear ambitions. north korea was also the focal point of trump's last stop south korea before leaving seoul delivered a stark warning to be young in a speech to south korea lawmakers listen that the regime has interpreted america's past restraint as weakness this would be a fatal miscalculation this is a very different administration than the united states has had in the

past today i hope i speak not only for our countries. but for all civilized nations when i say to the north do not underestimate us and do not try. and turn more mathias poland or your correspondent is standing by with the latest from beijing hello mathias as we just heard there are big issues on the agenda for trump in china north korea trade as well what more do we know about the focus of the fifth it. this visit it's going to be a visit that has a lot of symbolism a lot of beautiful images as we have seen the visit to the to the forbidden city it's clearly made to impress on a drum on himself those bring not so pleasant topics to china north korea is one of them where the chinese and the american views differ quite

a lot and the other one is trade topic the trump has always raised since the beginning of this presidency and that is still on the table this is not the first meeting between these two leaders we do know that chinese leadership paying that he was in washington you know a while ago how important is this meeting though in particular now in china. well we have the two powers that define the strategic balance of the whole region and we have two men who have made politics a highly personal affair so both of them weigh in with their kristie and with their personality and any success or not success will be will be their personal success or nonsuccess so. this is a very important meeting for both of them a taste ballinger with the latest from beijing thank you. thank you let's take

further now into the dynamic between these two leaders we are joined by andreas laurence a journalist and former asia correspondent for the german publication there spiegel thank you so much for being with us here in the studio this is not for me. you know we know that the trumpet ministration in particular that they seem to consider china to be you know that the key to controlling north korea in fact what do you expect from talks over this issue i think that the chinese government the presidency will try to convince. president not to use military means to talk to get north korea. because the chinese don't like. military military means they need to peaceful neighbor they don't like north korea they don't like. the party

leave the north korea but they know that they have to live in peace with them so they i think they will try to convince mr mr trump not to use military means maybe to get all three cells korea china into us in the negotiation table first to find out how they can deal with north korea but ultimately i mean this is really about not only military means but also up putting more pressure on north korea that is really what the united states wants do you just see that as a feasible possibility and in addition to that i mean what do you just generally speaking make of the dynamic between these two leaders because you know china very much a country that has been on the rise some say the u.s. has been on the decline how is that impacting the dynamic especially over this issue urrea rights i think that there are there are no chances to talk for mr trump to convince the chinese to do more. towards north korea because the

chinese say we do everything what we can we are dealing according to the u.n. security council keeping with the sanctions the problem is that they in fact the chinese stopped oil exports to north korea but not to that extends mr trump ones i do think that they will not they will not do what mr trump is trying trying they want they want to convince them. yes both of those leaders well that's that's an interesting fact there there's one the real estate property magnate from america and the rich princelings that convinced communists very convinced capitalist they seemed what we were seeing during the meeting at the post they seem to get along with they seem to understand themselves absolutely and on that note i mean they've been incredibly complimentary of one

another they're calling this visit by trump especially a strategy and in fact they're classifying it as a state visit plus trouble also very complimentary of paying but yet there are these difficult issues that we've mentioned north korea one that's also likely to come up is the balance of trade because the united states very concerned about china's massive trade surpluses how do you see that factoring into the conversation this will probably come up definitely come up with a trade deficit of them burgs is about three hundred forty seven billion u.s. dollars huge amount amount of money the americans like steam to concerns about the chinese trade practices. about so-called intellectual property rights unfair trade practices so. talk about that the chinese i guess will try to calm him down. a little bit by doing

a lot of trade. contracts there will buy more soybeans their boat buying more liquid goods they will buy more airplanes so they make it so they make trump saving face in front of his public in america we want to thank you very much andreas lawrence for telling us a little bit more about how you see the situation of trump's visit to china journalist and former asia correspondent for the german publication spiegel thanks very much. now let's turn to some other stories that have been making news around the world the u.s. democrats have won several high profile victories in state and may or elections ralph north ham here winning a tight race against his republican rival his genya other wins for the democrats where the state of new jersey and new york city's mayors office the elections were a key test of voter sentiment exactly a year after donald trump won the white house. more than fifty men have said that
