olympics and a joint korean talks moved to and hostilities as well as talks of denuclearization . so just how significant is this meeting between cia director mike pompei o and north korean leader kim jong un reuters correspondent josh smith and sole has been monitoring the flurry of diplomacy. well compare is the most senior u.s. official to have met personally with kim jong un and the fact that he met with kim personally does seem to indicate how serious this is both sides seem to be putting their most senior people directly on the issue which does seem to make all these talks more likely to trump said quote good relationship was formed during pomp a.o.s. visit there so whether that relationship turns into some kind of political breakthrough remains to be seen a political break that would be saying

a meeting between donald trump and that kim jong un well we didn't see that happen . this visit is perhaps the most significant confirmation that we've seen so far that that meeting is likely to happen. what up till now mostly been going off of what south koreans who met with him have said about what his position is on the talks now that it's clear that the americans have met directly with kim and come away apparently encouraged does seem to indicate that it is very likely that trump and kim will. appoint a future meet josh this is all commas or has been a lot of diplomatic movement on the korean peninsula itself the leaders of the north and south i didn't meet later this month do you think we're going to see a peace treaty. well that's likely a longer term goal analysts we've talked to have noted that south korea is not

for sweden earlier he visited them on monday and talked to people there about the alleged poison gas attack. well some don't want to talk about it some people are claiming that it's actually the rebel side that is responsible for that attack and for all those of their stomach turning in this building that piece but you have to have in mind that people here in syria don't attempt it cannot speak freely about what they think and so big events almost everywhere if this country does but is it government to control the area rebel control the area so you have to wait what people are saying actually it's could be to war or not to free if they have some other reason to be careful what about where you are in damascus what are they saying over this investigation by the o.p.c. debbie do they trust these investigators. well actually the syrian government the invite the dixie to come here to investigate and what i spoke to the last time they

they said that the devious spector's are welcome to come there any time but on the same day the o.p.c. w. said that no we're not allowed to go there for security reasons that were stopped by the syrians and russians so we have different versions of this and i guess we'll see a lot of different questions also about what's coming up in the next few days whether we'll be able to go there and do that there's a great journalist on board from t.v. for sweden thank you very much for that update. now to some other stories making news around the world one person was killed and several were injured after an engine on a u.s. passenger plane exploded the southwest airlines flight was on route from new york to dallas when an engine cover broke loose and shattered a window passenger spoke of a woman being partially sucked out of the broken window. the former first lady of the united states barbara bush has died at the age of ninety two she had recently

it's produced by bacteria discoveries the enzymes amazing something that can eat plastic that normally takes four hundred years to degrade the bacteria are starting to a matter of days what we've done is we've pulled a the end same from the bacteria in grown up and i know we can actually digest p.t. within days much quicker in the environment for research as first found an enzyme that had naturally evolved to slowly digest plastic and the japanese dumped two years ago. scientists called it p. tastes. professor mckee hand and his team set out to investigate the crystal structure of p. tastes. when they tweaked it they realized they had accidentally created a fall more powerful new version. we are cannot see. it capable of doing in terms of the breaking down with the plastic so.
