kim jong un's first foreign trip since he came to power. heavy security for an unnamed visitor making their way through beijing. then pomp and ceremony as the mysterious individual is confirmed as no other the north korean leader kim jong un it's a historic moment as cames first diplomatic trip outside of the rogue nation since he took power in two thousand and eleven rumors had been circulating for days that the mysterious armored train crossing the yellow river from pyongyang had came on board but it was only confirmed after kim and his wife were safely back home according to china's state news agency she pressed kim on north korea to give up its nuclear weapons came apparently replied quote the issue of denuclearization of the korean peninsula can be resolved of south korea and the united states respond to our efforts with good will create an atmosphere of peace and stability while

taking progressive and synchronous measures for the realisation of peace but many are skeptical about whether or not kim jong un would really scale down the program after the north korean government has worked so hard to celebrate its development. a little i don't think he will officially declared the nuclearization because he has been emphasizing the importance of nuclear weapons a lot he has particularly been stressing that the nuclear program makes the country strong and that the country can defeat the united states with it he can't totally change that stance all at once. but others think kim could use disarmament to his advantage. would seek to propagate the idea that he persuaded the u.s. and the international community to essentially surrender by having carefully mustered nuclear weapons so. the china visit comes ahead of

a historic so mess between north and south korea show jewels for april that meeting is expected to further focus on denuclearization. let's get more on this from t.w. correspondent claire richardson in washington welcome clare those talks are said to have lasted four days what we learned of the contents. well terms of the news that he received from she about the meeting is that his meeting with kim went well and indeed the official reports that we saw coming out of both sides from north korea and china after this meeting took place really emphasized the country's good working relationship together this is seen as their effort to downplay tensions between the two nations china of course traditionally north korea's strongest ally but the past several months china's support for u.n. sanctions in north korea has really put a strain on their ties so the point of this meeting for china at least seems to be largely an effort to save face to try and present itself as

a relevant player in any north korea talks especially after south korea and the u.s. have been the ones making headlines on the north korea question but what about the venue for these talks between kim jong un and president has anything been decided yet. well certainly the question of where meetings between u.s. and north korean negotiation negotiators it should take place is always the source of a lot of hand-wringing especially now that this would be the first time a sitting u.s. president would meet with a north korean leader the stakes are even higher than usual it could take place in the demilitarized zone for example like the upcoming meeting between the south and north koreans that will be taking place in a truce village in april or it could take place in a neutral third country like singapore or somewhere in europe but any proposal we see from either side is going to make the other very suspicious as to its intentions and the details of how we're even when this could play out are not

really clear yet. so what is america expecting for elise talks presuming they do take place. well i think trump would love to be the president who says that he gets north korea to agree to stop its nuclear program and to show that his policy of what he calls maximum pressure is really working but i seems pretty unrealistic given the fact that the north's repeatedly said it would do no such thing believes its nuclear program is in many ways fundamental to its very existence so the question becomes what points could they compromise on and certainly there are a few things north korea might want to see up for discussion like for example the u.s. and south korean joint military drills which are always a major point of tension in the region club richest in washington thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world been last parliament as you like to the new president for the country sixty six year old when my and as seen here in the yellow jacket behind our son so she had the backing of

the de facto leaders ruling party which has an overwhelming majority of representatives. today is the last of three days of voting in egypt's presidential elections present fattah el-sisi is expected to secure an easy victory too in large part to the absence of any real opposition critics of label the election. catalonia as parliament has passed a symbolic motion a lot of the rights of the regions are full of a separate incident made a college pushed him up to be reelected to his old position bush tomorrow is being held in a german jail after he was arrested on a european warrant by german police in sunday. in france a state funeral has been held for the policeman who carries life to save a hostage in last week's terror attack telling colonel on nobel troll was killed after he exchanged himself for a woman being held by the attacker president emanuel macro who led the tributes described as

a symbol of the french spirit of resistance mr. secure knows what imo now we need to show him that his sacrifice was not in vain. before he will forever be in the hearts of the french people. so i mean well we need to show him that his memory lives on his example lives on. i will make sure of it schieffer. well from today because from the entire lease lists in paris welcome lisa tell us more about the president's eulogy. while his speech was very mation elderly some solemn really he called out of nowhere a child of france he said. had stood up to what my core called islamised craziness and he called he compared this forty five forty five forty five year old left and colonel to historical heroes of the country the resistance fighters during

the second second world war but also to join the ark and he said that the country was at the moment facing a threat from islam is meant that people who might be seduced by this ideology should rather look at tom and take him as an example because these are the people that france will remember and not those that spread terror here tributes have been paid across the country today can you describe the mood for a server powerless. people here are shocked but they're also standing together during the ceremony this morning when the coffin was taken from the pointy onto the on the lead where francis paying its highest tributes to its heroes of war there were people actually lining the street it was pouring down with rain and yet for many it was important to attend this into actually as soon as the coffin went by people who were clapping there were cheering they were saying it's important for us to be here because he has given so much for france and this is really the least

we can do today and what's the latest on the police investigation. the police arrested two people close to the attack a seventeen year old man and an eighteen year old woman his girlfriend the girlfriend has now. been charged with charges related to terrorism apparently she published a religious message on the morning of the attack saying that all infidels would have to go to hell but the seventeen year old man who was a close friend of the attackers he doesn't seem to be linked to the attack the investigators are also looking into the fact that the attacker was a pound lee summoned by police he was supposed to come and meet them and police was going to lift the surveys and them on him and that might have that that letter from the administration might have been one trigger for him to actually commit this horrific act so that they should actually even put these two into prison who are

known to be radicalized then obviously all the other people are saying this is impossible they are about twenty thousand people on that list and that would be against the convention of human rights there is this discussion going on here but most people actually support the government as saying that the government is actually doing what it can and everybody should stand up together to terrorism here in france. in paris thank you. funerals are taking place in siberia for the victims of the shopping mall the weekend the whole nation is observing a day of mourning but the heartache is mixed with anger many believe that your forces are trying to cover up like safety standards that may have contributed to the high death toll. the size of the coffin should the scale of this tragedy most of the victims of the fire with children whose parents lost their daughter and son ten year old masha and eight

year old died alongside their grandmother. even those used to dealing with death find it hard to comprehend. we're all suffering from grief and there are no words that can express the pain we all feel. personal tragedies have touched the entire country. but they've also provoked an outpouring of anger people here are desperate for justice they want to know whether all this could have been avoided. those trying to escape the mall found many emergency exits blocked. children were also reportedly left locked inside a cinema while star fled. i was talking to my daughter on the fine i told her lie down on the floor and breech breathe and don't die.

i was crying to my daughter she said dad i love you i'm suffocating i'm losing consciousness. this video. seen from the damage to the morning is clear but what's not so clear are the circumstances behind the fire furious locals suspect a cover up so far five people responsible for fire safety have been detained including the more. i'm a mother myself i perfectly understand what people who are now burying their children are experiencing i know what they're going through but i don't want to blame myself for this i just don't. the government has promised those at fault will be harshly punished but we're relatives believe officials when they say justice has been done. this is the w. news in sports and football brazil has added to germany's twenty two much unbeaten run welcome love side defeated they south american seven won in the world cup
