regulations become a thing of the past. hello i'm terry marchant good to have you with us. a summit between south korean president moon j n n north korean leader kim jong un will take place on april twenty seventh the announcement comes after senior negotiators from both sides held talks in the border village of panmunjom also discussed the agenda for the summit which was agreed to earlier this month it's the latest development in a recent the escalation of tensions between rival nations struggle. well for more now let's cross over to reuters correspondent john smith he's standing by for us in seoul hi josh show what are the envoys of north and south korea actually discussing

at their meetings is it just protocol and logistics or all those substantive issues on their agenda. well as you mentioned the big news out of it is the exact date of when kim jong un and south korea's president moon will meet regardless of what they actually decide to discuss at that meeting it's a historic summit between the two leaders the first between the two leaders of south and north korea in the years and will be the first time that a leader from north korea actually steps in to south korea so while much remains to be worked out by both sides over exactly what will be on the agenda what proposals might come up during that just the symbolism of it. makes this a very historic moment now there's a flurry of diplomatic activity coming out of north korea at the moment this latest development between the north and south korea this comes just after china confirms

that it hosted a visit earlier this week by north korean leader kim jong il and what role is china playing in north korea's diplomatic offensive. well china's relationship with north korea has been said to have deteriorated in recent years and they have increased some of their sanctions in force me on north korea at the behest of u.s. president donald trump however many observers see this visit by came to beijing as a way to strengthen his hand ahead of the summit both with moon and potentially with trump later this year this is seen as possibly a way to get china to soften some of its stance towards north korea we knew some of their old friendship and potentially give north korea. more leverage in these upcoming talks for years north korea seem to enjoy isolated status suddenly it's on

this big offensive we've got meetings with china got one with south korea coming up now help us present down from said just hours ago that he's looking forward to meeting him what is north korea aiming for with this unprecedented series of meetings. well as outlined by kim he's asked for basically international recognition of his country as a nuclear power. as well as softening of the international sanctions that the u.n. united states and other international countries have imposed on north korea because of that nuclear weapons program and the united states has in the past said that it would only talk you know what if you committed to giving up those nuclear weapons in syria came says that he is willing to discuss that which is something that has led to some of these flurry of chemical summits now how committed he is to backing

reality however remains to be seen. ok thank you so much josh that was reuters correspondent jocelyn there talking to us from seoul south korea. now he's been on the run from police for years a thirty four year old german a right wing extremists accused of illegally selling weapons through a website that irv's citizens to defend themselves against migrants prosecutors also believe the man ran website spreading anti migrant anti semitic eight he was arrested in budapest earlier yesterday. an internet video meant to encourage weapon sales using german politicians as targets. from shrake or scourge of refugees is the name of the online seller he'd features rice's tirades against refugees and sells pistols for use against them. in budapest the website's alleged

operator was a wristed at the request of berlin prosecutors he could face years in jail in at least one hundred ninety three cases he allegedly delivered weapons and rubber bullets to germany. and. these weapons are extremely dangerous because they are capable of penetrating human muscle tissue as well as skin and bones these are not low power weapons five the authorities are concerned about more than weapons dealing suspected height speech on various websites is also playing a role in the investigation the man who went underground in hungary is mario he's refused to comment on the allegations against him from twenty fourteen he joined and the refugee demonstrations in eastern germany a year later he accosted journalists on camera had a demonstration for the far right alternative for germany. get on the streets true you journalists but stop reporting this crap. there's evidence that until

twenty sixteen lunch was behind the pages of right wing groups like anonymous collective it smear campaigns misinformation and conspiracy theories garnered up to two million likes on facebook it masqueraded as part of the usually left wing anonymous network german greens politician foca beck is a victim of anonymous collective smear campaigns he took legal action in twenty six jane. my motivation to file a complaint was simply the sixty death threats on this group's website that's not something you should take lying down you have to show it the rule of law can strike back is after facebook banned the siding twenty seventeen it's now posted on a russian server where it publishes a newsletter and a blog its contents are often anti semitic and glorify the third reich.

is a vienna based group that educates on internet abuse it's been following going just case for years. it's a first step that something has been done someone's been arrested and finally legal proceedings can take place this website is a special case because it had a high reach the gap that it left won't be field so easily. but there is a constant flow of new pages and offerings after me glanton disappeared following a crackdown a similar page called patriot shop with a russian demand name popped up it's not. involved here to the fight against hate and online incitement is not getting easier. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today nobel peace laureate malala yousafzai yousafzai has returned to her home country of pakistan it's her first visit since she was shot in the face six years ago by the taliban

for promoting education for girls and now lives in studies in britain she's expected to stay in pakistan for four days. authorities in venezuela say at least sixty eight people are dead after a riot inside prison cells at a police station there were also clashes outside the station between police and crowds demanding to know if their loved ones were still alive a rights group says it leaves the riot began after an armed inmate shot an officer in the leg no more twitter for julian assange ecuador's government says it's cutting off the songes internet access from its london embassy the wiki leaks founder has been holed up in the building since twenty twelve years extradition to the us if he leaves the premises ecuador said the decision was taken to prevent the australian from interfering in other countries affair its. polls have closed and counting is underway in egypt's presidential election voting

took place over three days with turnout appearing to be rather low the vote is set to hand president sisi a landslide win for a second term. well let's get some business news and all the tensions between russia and the rest of the world not least germany or getting to make waves in the business world the business well i mean they have ties business ties between russia and germany a traditionally quite close and now german business leaders well they had high hopes that those tanishq relations of those past few years between germany and russia would improve in twenty eighteen instead things could deteriorate further that has ballooned is extending for diplomats the german government is joining other european states and washington in a concerted response to a nerve gas or agent attack on a former russian spy in england which britain blames on moscow german industry feel

this new diplomatic crisis could crush business ties with russia. it's been hard to come by any positive news about german russian trade relations these days that's because of the reciprocal sanctions in effect. germany's recent decision to go ahead with building north stream to a gas pipeline that will transport natural gas to the e.u. one day is welcome news. the other good news is that trade between germany and russia picked up last year. it declined significantly in twenty fifteen falling almost twenty four percent following russia's annexation of crimea the year before bilateral trade hit rock bottom in twenty sixteen before starting to rise again in twenty seventeen. but once again relations between russia and the west are turning sour new e.u.

sanctions could be on the horizon in response to the attack on former russian spy sergey scree prague the german committee on eastern european economic relations is concerned. it's chairman involved gambusia said it is important not to enter into a spiral of escalation this would only produce losers also on the economic side. german businesses are hoping for a diplomatic resolution in this group ok's otherwise the already tainted relations between russia and the west could get even worse. for more on the future of german russian business relations i'm joined by did yuri rush a toe in moscow. so we just heard german business leaders are worried about the latest diplomatic crisis and its impact on business relations what they have russian counterparts saying well of course money to russian companies are also subject to sanctions and to the latest diplomatic crisis some can no longer

procure a spare parts from abroad without talking about the knowledge ie the aircraft industry mechanical engineering and so on other companies have funding problems by the way this also affects the german companies loans are hard to come by when it comes to doing business with russia and as for russian british diplomatic tensions particularly i don't believe actions taken so far by i think a government will have a direct impact on their on russian businessmen based and acting in london for example i don't believe even that sanctions will reach putin and his associates the main impact will be that russians face more barriers to visiting the u.k. negatively impacting tourism and to the opportunity for russian people to experience best in culture so what impact then does this have on ordinary russians i mean they've lived with western sanctions for for quite some time now how does that impact their daily lives. well it's the other way around thanks

to russian propaganda and the state run media and when he got the narrative of a circle of anybody's which is becoming ever closer to russia is very widespread the heart of the west punished russia has been more stable putin's position seems to be at least with the broad population according to the not to nothing can unite as more than the heart rate at rate of a common enemy and s. for shops grocery stores and they are still doing well the problem here in russia for people is not the lack of goods but the rising prices now. you know have having a common enemy that image also helped put in to be reelected no him being reelected means some kind of stability for russia at least politically but what's it mean for the economy well of course a stable government is always good and putin is comfortable with reelection should

have a cold mean effect on the economy in the democracy that would apply but russia is not a real democracy putin's real popularity will show as soon as the ruble falls or the stores run out of food those who understand how economics works and know that isolation doesn't lead anywhere and russia is already totally isolated at least from the western world which is where money is actually available at eurasia to there in moscow thank you so much for this. in a bit toolholder environmental damage tyo thora teams have ordered the temporary closure of one of the country's most famous stages my which is best known from leonardo di caprio as movie the beach has been visited by millions but now the beach will close for four months a year. tourism is a major factor in the thai economy the sector was responsible for over twelve

percent of the country's gross domestic product last year. most tourists head to thailand speeches so the decision to close my a beach for four months will leave many visitors disappointed thai environmental forty say the move is essential. if asked if it is too late to save all islands there is no but if we don't do something today it will be too late and it happened thailand has restricted tourist sites before to protect its environment for example in twenty eleven dozens of diving sites were closed to protect coral reefs but with the number of foreign visitors expected to grow the government has a tricky job it needs to find the right balance between protecting the environment and drawing tourists. tending to france and the country is grappling with two very traumatic events terry that's right monica both very very difficult indeed

intuitions came in for rough treatment french far right leader marine le pen was among those booed and jostled as she joined the march her party the national front has been accused of having at least semites in its ranks the demonstration was held for mary out of control who was stabbed to death in her paris apartment which was then set of beliefs. also in france the slain hero of last week's terrorist attack in the country's south is to be buried later today policeman on aunt betty told was fatally wounded by an islamist militant after changing places with the hostage french president manuel mccall led a solemn ceremony for battle and paris on wednesday the forty four year old policeman was hailed as a symbol of french resistance and pasta mill sleet awarded france's i asked all are . brags it it's just twelve months away to mark the occasion british prime minister theresa may is kicked off a day long tour of the u.k.

leaders approved guidelines on future relations with britain and all the post breaks a transition period it's just the latest milestone on a long and winding road. forty four years after joining the european union britain's ambassador to the e.u. delivers the notification letter in brussels the u.k. formally triggers article fifty relief the european club. so. six pages. there notification from. triggering article fifty. secs it is now officially set for march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen. the. june two thousand and

seventeen a snappy election backfires for theresa may. government is fresh on. this government will guide the country through the crucial talks that's begin in just ten days. they begin with a huge compromise britain's press secretary david davis agrees that trade talks will have to wait until sufficient progress has been made on the divorce bill citizen rights and the irish border we want to find a solution without. any kind of border but the u.k. offers no solutions and only draws red lines david davis is told the u.k. will not be allowed to cherry pick the u.k. it wants to take back control wants to adopt it almost beyond outs and regulations . but if you want to have. recognized automatically in you this is simply impossible. the british prime

minister answers with a charm offensive in a high profile speech. that the u.k. will honor its financial commitments and for. the success of the e.u. it's profoundly in on national interest and the wider world. while they are waiting for the u.k. the e.u. acts in november two thousand and seventeen that you agencies based in london are relocated to the continent. selected. to be the new seat of the european mid since agency and paris to be the new seat of the european banking geishas october two thousand and seventeen and there is still not been sufficient progress the european parliament votes against proceeding to the second face the breakthrough comes only in december went to reserve major greece to a backstop solution for northern ireland paves the way for phase two sufficient

progress that has not been made on the street terms of digital march two thousand and eighteen the u.k. is granted the transition phase but on europe the final goodbye is pushed back by almost two years the deal was struck today should give us confidence that a good deal for the united kingdom and the european union is closer than ever before. but the clock is ticking and key issues are yet to be agreed. over some analysis now on break so let's bring in john wirth he's citizen with the u.k. passport a blogger who writes on the e.u. and the u.k. and is based in berlin but moves a lot around europe understand because see john tree summations on a one day tour of the u.k. here just one year exactly before bragg's disposed to finally happened what is so

why is she doing this to her she's trying to reassure people that breaks it is going to be in their interests and she's going to all of the four countries of the u.k. she's starting in scotland then going to northern oil. northern england and south wales to try to reassure everyone in those places that breaks it is going to do something good for them that's what she's at least trying to set out to do today and to show that the u.k. will stay together through the bracks process that's what that's what aim is well it sounds like something a good thing to be doing given that what the country is is about to be headed into to break that she's trying to reassure the nation that's what leaders supposed to be doing why is she starting in scotland where she's going to a textile company in scotland of the there's the own going issue there about whether scotland that the view of the independence of scotland if she could return to the table and scotland voted remain in the referendum and so they've been rumblings of discontent politically as well but is scotland being hurt by london during the breaks and o'shea sions and so therefore she's going to try to reassure

scots to a certain extent with that visit today however there are very real headaches and real issues there that just one visit console in the end it was scotland and northern ireland with the two constituent parts of the u.k. the votes that remain so theresa may got a lot of work to do that to reassure the populations in both of those places well breaks a negotiation between the u.k. and the e.u. they should just use their to deal with to what degree do you think those issues have been addressed i think the main outstanding issues we still don't know how they're going to be solved britain's ongoing trade relationship with the european union after breaks in and the issue relating to the northern ireland border that's going to be i think she's going to have to address in her visit in belfast today is going to be how are you going to make sure the trade between northern ireland and the republic of ireland is going to be able to continue in the same way as it does today across that border because there are no border controls and also the issue relating to peace in ireland where the european union was central to that issue so

those two big issues britain's ongoing trade relationship and the northern ireland border issue we still even now one year into this present goshen crisis we still are no closer to a solution to the. two big issues and i fear we're going to be keeping on pushing that timetable forward which is going to be at the very last minute ultimately those issues are going to be sold if they said the teresa mayes going to be trying to reassure brits that breaks it is going to be a good thing what can she tell them to make them feel positive about this and to what degree are the positive benefits that were used the arguments they used to sell bragg's it still valid the argument was that britain could kind of believe without any economic cost that was the argument made by the people who were in favor of brakes at the time of the referendum we know from numerous economic studies that that is not the case britain is going to take an economic hit by leaving the european union particularly the so-called holland brights at the to

reason may has been favoring the regions to reason is visiting today interesting as some of the reasons which are actually going to be economically hardest hit she's hit she's visiting new castle in the north east of england for example which is in the region which is going to take a predicted eight percent g.d.p. hit by leaving the european union sold him at least the people she needs maybe those people don't fear for their own jobs but their region is going to become significantly poorer if she manages to deliver on the breaks that she promises owed timidly one of the arguments of course in favor of bright's it was it would allow britain to control immigration and that solves the paps one of the issues which some of the people she'll talk to may still want but how do you weigh those things up what individual people think they want versus the needs of the u.k. and the needs of the economy and still that kind of balance between those factors which is we still no closer to solving that conundrum john thank you so much john worth an e.u. citizen with a u.k. passport based in berlin he's a blogger you'll find him online very quickly john spell j-o. and by the way thank you so much. and now the japanese basketball playing
