a london artist's extraordinary talent complex kind of around a strong entirely from memory stephen will sure is a man with the world at his fingertips. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us a summit between south korean president in a north korean leader kim jong un will take place on april twenty seventh the ultimate comes after senior negotiators from both sides held talks in the border village of panmunjom the officials also discussed the agenda for the summit which was agreed to earlier this month it's the latest development in a recent deescalation of tensions between the rival nation. what is correspondent josh smith is following the story from seoul what did the envoys of north and south korea actually discuss in this preliminary meeting as you

mentioned they nailed down the first concrete timeframe for holding this summit at the end of april they also agreed to some working level meetings between now and then to work out things like security and other logistics for what will obviously be quite a major meeting between the two leaders they did not release any more details on exactly what the agenda items will be however they did say that the big issues of denuclearizing north korea as well as improving into korean relations will be on the table now this meeting between north and south korean officials palos china's confirmation that it hosted a visit earlier this week by north korean leader kim jong un what role is china playing in north korea's diplomatic offensive. china has

obviously had a long and close history with north korea in recent years that relationship has suffered a bit especially as china signed on to some of the international sanctions that have been increasingly pressuring north korea over its nuclear weapons program however with this visit by came to beijing it does appear that north korea is trying to repair some of that relationship which highlights the importance that it puts on its relationship with china especially as it heads into the summit so with moon and with possibly u.s. president donald trump later on now kim jong un has traveled to beijing to meet the chinese leader he's scheduled to meet the south korean leader next month and the u.s. president says he's looking forward to meeting him soon to what is north korea aiming for with these meetings. well all of this diplomatic flurry really started when kim jong un gave his new year's speech earlier this year said

that he would be sending a delegation to the winter olympics here in south korea and was open to improving relations not only with south korea but potentially with the united states since then we've seen them reach out to international leaders around the world what he has said he is interested in is international recognition for north korea as a responsible nuclear power the united states on the other hand has said that it will settle for nothing short of north korea completely giving up its nuclear weapons so whether all sides can find some kind of compromise within the summit so it means to be seen josh we're also hearing that japan is considering a summit with north korea can you tell us anything about that. japan has a lot of worries about what's been going on japan has quite poor relations with north

korea next to the states japan is often singled out for threats from north korea and as this flurry of some planning has gone on they've being increasingly worried that they could be left behind and possibly some of their security concerns be left by the wayside so they've been reaching out to pyongyang and trying to arrange their own meetings to make sure that their interests are represented. thank you that was drawn from with their reuters correspondent in seoul south korea now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines today nobel peace laureate malala 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 a lot and now lives in studies in britain she's expected to stay in pakistan for four days. state media in egypt are reporting that
