on chinese president xi jinping called washington to emphasize the need for careful diplomacy meanwhile u.s. vice president mike pence at the talks were a sign that sanctions on pyongyang were bearing fruit but the heavy lifting was done by south korea who helped broker the u.s. summit with the north this is the man doing the running between p.r. nyang and washington d.c. and he famously reached a major milestone. i told president president thought that in our meeting north korean leader kim jong un. is committed to do provide to him pledged that north korea really differing from any for the duke of york for this sort of tests that he expressed this that you're going to see the new president from that's on as possible it is a sentiment shared by the u.s.

president who confirmed that a meeting is being planned. the historic breakthrough comes after south korean negotiators held talks in pyongyang on monday it was here they learned that denuclearization was on the menu. far from giving up their bombs in recent years north korea has been ratcheting up its missile program and the threats. from fired back with warnings of annihilation and insults for kim jong il. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. on the front lines of this conflict the capitals of the korean peninsula relief and distrust. it is good news now everything is heading the right way what you don't and judging from kim jong un's character i don't think he will get the weapons easily. but i can't

believe either of them i don't know what's in trump's head and i'm doubtful he is serious about this meeting a lot of the. details just still being worked tired tone when and where exactly trump will come face to face with his a valued enemy. whether they see eye to eye is another matter entirely well here in germany chosen to america gave news of the talks a cautious welcome. this is my call as a glimmer of hope it needs work because of course really seeing a deescalation would be wonderful because for all of us the nuclearization of north korea has been a grave concern. the chancellor there reacting to the news well the stunning overture has taken the world by surprise and now that some time has passed for the news to sink in let's find out what policymakers in washington d.c. are making of all this heat of these carson from naaman is standing by carson was

this really like a bolt from the blue not entirely the south koreans this week has warned the u.s. government that something big was coming out of their talks with north korea but the announcements yesterday was a bombshell not only because kim jong promised to suspend nuclear missile tests for the time being and asked for this meeting with donald trump but that the u.s. president actually immediately said yes that surprised almost everyone inside and outside this administration even many people inside the white house were here all right so a lot of surprise to go around there how much support is there for this potentially historic meeting. well there's always that pen's on whom you os the reactions range from unrestricted praise for the president and his strategy

of maximum pressure of new sanctions and military threats to the skepticism the supporters of the president says say it was his strategy it was his approach that actually brought the team junk to the negotiation table but others fear north korea is just once again playing for time and that they are playing on a trump by catering to his vanity all right now many a church many are saying carson that this could be trumps nixon in china moment is that a fair assessment. i think that goes a little bit too far i mean after all nixon went to china only after there had been years of secret diplomacy his national security adviser henry kissinger went to china several times before nixon actually met sham and a model and the situation now is very different donald trump in the past has told

his secretary of state rex tillerson not to waste his time by trying to establish direct communication shyness with north korea the americans don't have an embassy in north korea donald trump hasn't even sent a new ambassador to south korea many old korea hands who know the region know the language have recently left the administration so the big question is who will prepare the president for such a meeting and even more important will the president let's people prepare him for such a meeting because president trump is famous for. being a very spontaneous he likes to improvise he likes to follow his gut feeling and that might not be the best approach if you meet someone like kim jong un if you want the summit to be more than a photo opportunity even when it's a historic one carson phenomena reporting from washington thank you.

well for more analysis on this historic we're want to turn now to hanna somai he is professor of korean studies at the university of maryland thank you so much professor for being with us what i'd like to understand is how did we go from fire and fury and mr trump deriving at the north korean leader as a rocket man and then kim of course returning that favor saying he's a dotard to then meeting in a summit i think that's only rhetoric but maybe to a certain extent that helped the two leaders to tune in to some extent but. honestly the most important part here is the right timing. for we have a liberal president in south korea with president then we had the olympic games the winter games also we have a very self-confident north korean leader now with the atomic weapons program and we have a very pragmatic donald trump now right well let's talk a little bit about the role that south korea place because they've been pushing really hard to broker this meeting between president trump and the north korean

leader talked about that yes south korea definitely was here the crucial the most decisive facilitator in the whole process as we know president. at his berlin speech here last year he invited north korea to participate in the winter olympic games and this gave the north koreans a very good opportunity without losing face coming back into dialogue which was very much much needed for them also within south korea of the un to reproach him and our forces the right to conservatives are now in a crisis they are very weak because two of the former presidents are embroiled in big scandals involving corruption so this was very important for a lot of it has to do with just south korea having a very progressive leader who wants to dial down the heated rhetoric that we saw over the past couple of months ok why has it become easier for the north korean leader and the pres. the u.s.

to sit at the same table what changed this time around i think between those two leaders it's a similarity in style but of course we have to see for north korea it's very much more difficult to come to the negotiation table because they are bargaining about their survival not less nothing less than their survival the biggest handicap is that it's like a exchange of keppra captured spies at the same time they have to give away the safety of the survival of the regime and get some some guarantee not to be attacked by the u.s. this is a very big but maybe trump as a goal for knows how to deal with this kind of what you make of president trump accepting this invitation does that give the north korean leader legitimacy on the world stage and is that a big gamble to take at this stage i don't think so i even though if even if we would accept him as alleged leader if that in change for that would be a loss or a trump or the community to have changes on the korean peninsula everything is one

so this is. a very very good opportunity what was the deal killer excuse my language the last time around because of course a president clinton also tried to broker a deal with the father of kim jong un or not what happened there well at that time of course the father oh yes of that time into two thousand after the summit of two thousand it was mainly to bush and his talking about an actual axis of evil which made the most probably problematic aspect here and after two thousand and seven the two thousand and seven summit it was maybe there are very many factors but the most the size of one was the governmental change in south korea changing back to a conservative government and maybe the situation now is this so different that while there is agreed to meet we have with each other right professor how does mosler press professor of korean studies at the university of maryland thank you so much for breaking it down for us.

trump has made good on his threats signing off on the import tariffs twenty five percent on steel ten percent on our minium he blames other countries for america's massive trade deficit still only accounts for two percent of world trade and yet the tit for tat tariffs and penalties are dangerous the ripple effect could escalate into a full on trade war. this is the moment donald trump made it official surrounded by the people whose job he claims to be securing the u.s. president signed off on plans to impose hefty tariffs on steel and million employees. the reaction was swift and the world's largest trading bloc the european union says it acknowledges some of the president's concerns but it rebuffed claims of a protectionist measure u.s. national security. we have been in talks with the american friends for quite some

time to explain to them that whereas we share the concern of overcapacity in the steel sector this is not the right way to deal with it and it is certainly not the right way to exclude a to include europe in that because we are friends where i live we work together we cannot possibly be a threat to national security meanwhile the w t o whose job it is to manage global trade relationships appear to signal that the tyrants weren't yet set in stone there's always still time to say as i understand it this measure doesn't apply for another fifteen days and there's a process as well for those members seeking exceptions exemptions to do so so there is still time certainly there's still time to discuss this but on the grounds the potential threat of a trade war is a ready being felt in some un usual way to take for instance the e.u. threat to retaliate by taxing u.s. products like harley davidson motorcycles this dealership in frankfurt germany has

actually experienced a temporary surge in business. knows this thing is that because buying a harley davidson is an emotional thing people who have already decided to buy one this season are coming to us from the dealership and saying i want to order my harley now the for anything happens so that i have that deal in the back at least before the. deals on motorcycles are one thing deals on deal are another with just two weeks to go before the tire of come into effect from international trade partners will have to act fast if they're to secure exemptions. so as we've seen the reactions of range from confusion and outrage to optimism that trumps mind can be trained in time but trump says he wants to help hardworking americans in the steel industry to keep their jobs. but the sector only employs about one hundred forty thousand people on the other hand still consuming

manufacturers like car makers a much bigger employing six and a half million the new terrace means the logic consuming industry will suffer from higher prices on imports for the benefit of the relatively small domestic steel sector the protective tariffs have been billed as a shot at china's overcapacity but its america's biggest allies that could see most of the damage canada is the biggest exporter of steel to the u.s. followed by the e.u. china is way down the list here a position eleven but canada has for now an exception on the tariffs that's if it agrees to a new nafta deal with america. well standing by in ottawa president of the canadian chamber of commerce parent bt joins us now thank you very much for talking with us canada will get away with our tariffs are for now you must be relieved well in the

current climate any morning you wake up as a start of a good day there's no guarantee for the rest of the day go yes were relieved to find that canada wasn't included in this round but what we have. is a threat by the president but if he's not satisfied with the negotiations on nafta he may choose to hold those tariffs on later and i'd like to bring in this tweet from donald trump now he says that the u.s. has large deficits with mexico and canada nafta has been a bad deal for the u.s. because of a massive relocation of companies and jobs his words and what he's trying to say i think here is that imports are an outflow of money and with them go jobs trump is right isn't he canada is taking advantage of the u.s. . i think all three countries are taking advantage of now after what we've seen since nafta was brought into place is a dramatic increase in trade among canada mexico in the united states and an increase of jobs the most significant factor in terms of loss of jobs and

traditional industries in the united states and in canada has been the advent of technology more than anything else ok so new rules on needed to deal with this new technology that's come in but you all backed into a corner when it comes to nafta now because these tariff exemptions are dependent on canada signing a deal so you'll force to do what the u.s. tells you. i don't think we are i think code canada strategy hasn't changed overnight as a result of the announcement that was made i think it's important to attach the to first of all this allegedly was was decided on the basis of national security that the imports in the united states holds the threat to national security i'm a former defense minister in canada we have a deeply integrated defense industrial base with the u.s. and the fact that both canada and united states can supply aluminum and can supply steel is beneficial to both of our countries and helps to sustain our security

canada isn't a threat to the united states were an ally a customer a friend and as a result it's important to look at us on its merits then we should look at nafta on its merits canada is determined to negotiate in good faith we want to see a modernization of nafta we want to see something that is when when when but we should not agree to just anything because we're told that we should accept it under threat when it seems that it could be a lose lose situation so if you don't accept what donald trump is saying and joe out of a potential noon after agreement all that equipment entirely gets scrapped then you're going to have trouble selling your steel into the u.s. what's going to be more expensive to import it into the u.s. but also even staying pot all of this with the exemptions that you're getting is canada sells into this newly protected market steel prices will go up is the average canadian business going to feel the impact in some way. i think that the

impact on the average business will be minimal with us exemption in place a greater concern for canada i think use diversion of the product that was going to be going to the united states suddenly turning toward canada which could be a threat to our steel and aluminum producers it's going to be very important for us to watch and see whether there's any attempt to divert him to canada we see a surge where product is being dumped here will have to respond to that the key thing at the end of the day though is that the americans will do what it's in the best interest the united states that's not surprising that's how trade negotiations take place the message though from the american business community is very clear with our deeply integrated industrial places in north america but we need to take down barriers not quote them up that we're different from from the trade relationship we have with other countries we want to play style things to each other we make things together and our supply chains are deeply integrated anything that drills a hole in one side of the boat causes the whole boat to sink you can't keep one

half of it afloat. ok well let's hope that there is a rising tide that will lift all boats from the canadian chamber of commerce parent beatty thank you very much for talking to us on that thank you. i'm going to head back over to layla now on the diet humanitarian situation in syria i thank you so much because desperately needed aid has arrived in syria's eastern hutto after being delayed for days by fighting a thirteen truck convoy made to use of a low in hostilities to enter duma the largest town in the rebel held enclave all their aid workers applauded food supplies for some twelve thousand people airstrikes and shelling resumed during the delivery despite what the international red cross called previous assurances of safety for its staff all the convoy has since crossed back into government held territory. and to staying with the conflict in syria over one million syrians have fled to lebanon since the civil war broke

out seven years ago many of them are children now aid groups are helping them deal with their trauma through creativity on our be rude to exhibit is featuring artwork like this picture right behind me inspired by their poems and stories and interviews on trial for i went to have a look. while those agree fled the war in syria four years ago after her home in homes was bombed she and her family now live in this lebanese refugee camp my time. even when she first got to lebanon while work packing boxes earning just four dollars a day then and then geo called beyond rescued her from that job and going to go into a school near the camp. today the sixteen year old is about to head out to hope boy trick last. morning in the country when i was quite caught.

after years of trauma and uncertainty while it is beginning to find her voice and she's learning to write verse for the first time in her life. because. nell and we are the generation whose life is lost because dreams have been broken by war we are the generation that has grown too soon this point recounts the challenges about faces as a refugee. the family has we're always attacking this with words the lebanese always ask who are you where did you come from why did you come here. a two hours drive from the camp the u.n. children's organization unicef has organized an exhibition about art a refugee is at beirut's civil war memorial. missed meeting is inspired by the words of what thoughts and feelings of dozens of syrian children on display in this exhibition in beirut by the horns and let us sit

in the lebanese artists have come together and are using their creativity to describe the experiences of the students of war. yvonne depp's is one of the artists we strive to capture large sentiments on canvas. this is not sadness this is this is anger and. and though i didn't want to show the children as victims. the organizers deliberately chose the memorial as the site for the event levanon itself suffered two decades of civil war that nearly tore the country apart. civilians have been the main victims of the conflict in syria which has especially targeted the country's young. many of the children that have written

poems and text have lived their war very intensively they have rules their homes their school sometimes their parents back at the game while the movie is although we do a get together with some friends she's now taking up singing is when. she'd like to be a journalist or a single when she grows up. has lost nearly everything which she refuses to give up hope. earlier this week we brought you the story of politicians from the far right party alternative for germany who've gone on a fact finding mission to syria the once a declared a so-called safe country so syrian refugees in germany can legally be sent back while their trip has cost heated online debates and the residents of war torn

eastern huta responded let's bring our social media editor on so few brownlie good to see and sophie please remind us again why are these politicians exactly doing right now in syria so there are seven quotations from the f.t. on a private trip so it's not sponsored by the government they are on a fact finding mission as you sat there trying to paint a realistic picture of the situation on the ground they want to see what it is like for themselves and they're posting their findings on social media and the interesting thing is that they're not really the images that you would expect from syria not the images that you're seeing every day they're very like vacation like photos and here's what i'm talking about that's take a look they started their trip and government controlled damascus you can see them storming across a bazaar there buying sweets and bonding with locals. to stand black's commented on twitter saying everything is totally relaxed here of course it's important to know that they're only about ten kilometers away from easton where air strikes have killed hundreds of civilians the spite that the. trying to depict normal everyday

life as they say in syria but x. tweeted modern shops women with and without head scarves it's hard to believe that tens of thousands of syrian men and now in germany and they even want to bend over from the mass goes the delegation of mental homs where the criticism of syrian refugees in germany continued blacks tweeted while so-called syrian refugees from homs a drinking coffee in berlin paid for by the german taxpayers we're paying for our own coffee and humps something's wrong here right now and sophie it did receive a lot of backlash this this trip it really did especially in germany and especially about politicians of all been speaking out against us and we heard a few ourselves from syrians living in germany first but not from within and syria and that changed now and now there's two syrians actually live in is done with that and they recorded a video with a statement for the safety petitions they brought together with an aide are going to zation adopt your revolution and stay have this message here for petitions.

because it feeds emotions of the day and measure. them. you do not be done we're. laying it on. you you. must obey the laws will be out of some other to put any moves you use if you don't. have an. ace who. comes in right. very strong statement there by that has to be said that there's also a few people who are actually saying this is a good idea they're thinking ok petitions are going on the ground that checking out the situation for themselves rather than believing reports are coming out of the region but the majority of people especially in germany have been really critical and have been speaking out including i'm glad that call spokesperson and sophie

thank you so much for bringing us that story greatly appreciate it are you watching the news we still have a lot more to tell you about as their colleagues stand trial on terrorism charges journalists from turkish newspapers good community etc soldier on the struggle for press freedom under president to whine on how that and a whole lot more coming right out and ready to take. him to. european stores to lansing performances. atmospheric and alternative rock. which they just didn't like. the. yankee fans. europe. on. how to cover more than just one reality.

where i come from we have a transatlantic way of looking at things that's because my father is from germany my mother is from the united states of america and so i realized really early that it makes sense to explain the different reality. and now here at the heart of the european union in brussels we have twenty eight different realities and so i think people are really looking forward and need journalists they can trust for them to make sense of. it in the back hall and i work at the government. to sing for the peace sometimes you just have to pump up the volume.

for the film's. complex toward the music magazine on deep w. e w's program guide. dot com puddlers. welcome back you're watching the news this is our main headline right now the president of donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un have agreed to hold the first ever u.s. north korea summit press and trump has confirmed the plan and says quote great progress is being made in. germany social democrats have named the three men and three women who will join china's on america's new coalition government as ministers all they will head up the foreign ministry labor justice family environment and the much

coveted finance portfolio and it will be down to them to show s.p.d. voters they were right to give their backing to another grand coalition optimistic and relieved after the lengthy discussions the s.p.v. as leaders present their six cabinet picks for the new government. with the quarrels over the foreign ministry behind them the focus now is on teamwork. we sorta put together a good team who can work together extremely well a good team made up of highly competent people with the expertise to take on significant old folios. hamburg mayor own life scholtz is set to become vice chancellor and take on the coveted post a finance minister former justice minister heiko mass takes a career leap to become foreign minister the important labor ministry goes to who

better to see heil a parliamentarian with twenty years experience the three male s.p.d. ministers will be joined in the cabinet by the same number of women the incoming family affairs minister francisco gif i was previously mayor of the berlin district of noise. to mrs angus as mayor it has always been important for me to say it doesn't matter where you come from what matters is who you want to be that's what we have to work for making sure that all the people living in our country have equal opportunities her predecessor catalina barly is moving to the justice ministry. another fresh face is spanish schultz and who is set to take over the environment ministry. colm induced i come from an industrial area and i know that safeguarding jobs and protecting the environment must go hand in hand that is the task i've set myself. in germany and europe have been waiting half

a year for the new government now things are finally set to move quickly the new cabinet will be sworn in on wednesday. all right let's turn to our political correspondent christopher spring day to find out more about these appointments good evening at christopher the s.p.d. gratz of key ministries are we now know the names well they gel well with chancellor merkel's conservative ministers. that's a very big question. and you know some of them yes definitely because they have served under chancellor merkel before i think the cabinet will probably get to work very quickly quite smoothly to begin with but the word is that chancellor merkel will have her work cut out to to maintain harmony if you want that's for a very simple reason both her conservatives and the social democrats in other words the two political forces in her cabinet did very badly in last september's federal election so both sides are keen to score victories you have the s.p.d.

at the moment the social democrats very low in the polls they'll be keen to win some early successes to help them recover to help them sharpen their profile on the other hand you have some senior figures in chancellor merkel's conservatives who are keen to take the party to the right and win back support that they lost to the and human gratian alternative for germany so you have some conservatives lurching to the right the social democrats looking to the left and in the middle chancellor angela merkel who need all her political skills to keep her house together right now let's talk about the heiko mosty s.p.d. appointed mr moss as germany's new foreign minister he's taking up this post at a very difficult time i mean there's a potential trade war looming between the u.s. the e.u. and germany is he the right man for the right job. that's also a good question

a slightly surprising development not known for his record on foreign policy he is a very experienced cabinet minister no doubt he will work himself into the post very quickly bring himself up to speed very quickly but some observers are scratching their heads as to why heiko is going to be the next foreign minister the deeper truth in that possibly some people are wondering whether. or not this and all of shot so the two leading figures in the social democrat party at the moment who have both keen to be the next candidate for chancellor from within the social democrat some people are saying perhaps they didn't want to build up a rival the foreign ministry is often a launching pad for higher ambitions and. is probably not someone who's more of a team player with no ambitions for higher office than the foreign ministry and there's nothing wrong with team players christopher spring gate there and waiting

for you so very much you're welcome. in other news in turkey the trial of seventeen turkish journalists from the in the pendent newspapers reported yet resumed today they're facing tara charges in a case that's being seen as a test of press freedom in present which of type two wants turkey more than one hundred writers and reporters are currently jailed in the country to have you correspondent julie han has more. an editorial meeting at judy at one of the few newspapers in turkey not controlled by the government. journalists here are discussing stories for the next edition many have been in trouble with the because of their reporting but they are determined to keep on writing that. we can't get any information from government officials or state institutions are not allowed into any of the president's press conferences

they continuously try to criminalize a newspaper to the point that even carrying a copy of it is risky for readers that despite these circumstances we're trying to do our best in this. war. the newspaper often covers court cases against its own staff an ongoing trial involves seventeen employees charged with supporting terrorist organisations all have been released on bail except for three who have been behind bars for over a year now in a show of solidarity jim who publishes their photos on his front page every single day. editor in chief of the publisher and ahmed sheikh a well known investigative reporter. ship is using the trial as a platform to get a message across i am not defending myself i am accusing you he said in one hearing

in december twenty seventh seen the trial was suspended and sheik removed from the courtroom when he criticised the government his supporters heard it. only gets to see her husband in court and during visiting hours in jail it's been like that for over a year she is prepared for every outing. we didn't make anything wrong or often it did not make anything wrong and he is right that's why of course i have hope because i believe in ahmed and i believe in myself expectations i have no expectations from the judiciary part or anything from the state. she says the terrorism charges leveled against her husband are observed years ago he was jailed for writing this book criticizing the muslim cleric fit to live glenn

attempted attacks security at djibouti is tight the office now resembles a high security prison itself. the news room has already lost many reporters but the rest are undeterred they want to report independently and critically for as long as they can even if that means writing about trials against their own colleagues. reporting their so very acute malnutrition could kill more than two million children in the democratic republic of congo if they don't get it soon i want us to stark warning coming from the united nations world food program which says the two million include around three hundred thousand children and congo's central coast sire region the un is set to hold a donor's meeting next week as it calls for international funding to stave off a worsening humanitarian disaster. this child is one of two million in the

democratic republic of congo estimated to be at risk of dying from severe acute malnutrition many of them live here in the troubled region. the queues for u.n. aid make a mockery of prime minister been achieved billows claim this week but the humanitarian crisis there was under control. in the car side a region alone three point two million people a severely hungry that one in four people. malnourished children at risk of dying three hundred thousand at risk of dying just think of that three hundred thousand little kids tribal violence in the country's east has displaced them as the need to two hundred thousand people since mid december far from being under control the u.n. says the situation in and sirte the country is deteriorating and appealed to donors to come forward where we really hope and expect the dawn of traditional donors new donors any kind of governors to step forward and recognize that this is

a crisis that. you know our humanity should include these people but what is what is clear is you're looking at numbers of this magnitude you know the urgency couldn't be couldn't be greater. u.n. humanitarian chief mark is to meet donors in kinshasa next week as the organization looks to live up to what it calls its big responsibility in the congo. our it lets us speak now to eve well marty is unicef's the chief of communications in the democratic republic of congo a good evening sir two million children facing starvation i mean that's a staggering number what are the main causes. but the main causes are that children have getting more and more difficulties of having access to proper health care services as well as proper food the consequence of that is

that more and more children actually are touched by. diseases and because they don't have the strength to fight is the seasons there it fell into a situation not severe acute malnutrition now the situation of sickies severe acute malnutrition is a very severe situation that can lead to that. we are facing indeed the staggering figure of two million chill and throughout it year congo now that are facing severe acute malnutrition now the both the positive thing about it is that we also know that when we can actually reach the children that are suffering from severe acute malnutrition and we can providing mitten necessary the treatment that they can quickly we cover it without consequences on the long term so the challenge we are facing today is to make sure that we do have access to these children and we

do have the necessary resources at our disposal to make sure that we actually can treat them are right now distilled in the arse threatened by malnutrition as you just outlined but many have also in addition gone through some horrific experience says what can you tell us about that. well obviously the conflict contributes to malnutrition particularly severe acute malnutrition because children are living in a conflict zone or children that are often displaced they don't have access to health care anymore they don't have access to water and sanitation they only have a limited access to food so this is a deadly cocktail that pushes them into a situation of no severe acute malnutrition not fortunately indeed your cd a number of complex zones have been arising the last couple of months over the whole kasai region the new care programs south kivu province not you province and

also the province of it to reach in the northeastern part of the r.c. mr mark i mean as you know syria's very much in the public eye at the moment what's unicef doing to ensure that the humanitarian disaster in congo doesn't get forgotten i've got twenty seconds left but we have more than seven million children that are actually faced by the humanitarian crisis in the d r c and they need our assistance so we are appealing that to the international community to contribute financially to a firm to respond that you need certain apartments up putting in place and we are also appealing for all actors to make sure that they contribute to the violence in the r.c.a. and are at. a unicef chief of communications in a democratic republic of congo thank you for spending time with us for. all
