summit. oh yeah we spoke with journalist to bruce harrison in seoul about what the expectations are for this north south summit president moon julian has made it clear that his focus is going to be on getting north korea to give up its nuclear weapons he hasn't said that directly but we know that because his administration has made it clear they're not going to focus on other things other issues that have more as korea such as human rights south korea's foreign minister recently said that that's something they're not going to touch on which is made many in south korea unhappy but like i said the focus is on getting north korea to give up its nuclear weapons this is different than previous summits however because unlike two thousand and seven as you mention and the previous summit with the former leader kim jong north korea didn't have a confirmed nuclear capability that it's pretty clear that they do now which gives north korea a lot more negotiating power they have

a nuclear weapons capability they've proven that time and time again and they will certainly leverage that that is in kim jong un's mind a way for the regime to survive so moon in the south korean president has his work cut out for him jones bruce harrison this speaking to us earlier from salt all right when you bring up to date now with some of the other stories making news around the world. leaders of the fifty three commonwealth countries have approved prince charles as their next head queen elizabeth the second had told them that it was her sincere wish for him to be given the role and continue the work her father began back in one nine hundred forty nine. medics in the gaza strip say two palestinians have been shot dead by israeli forces in another day of protests along the border well that's after the military dropped leaflets urging residents to stay away from the border fence at least thirty three palestinians have been killed by soldiers firing at the border in peace and weeks. hundreds of people in

all right and we've got a huge news out of the world of soccer the british premier league arsenal manager arsene wenger will be leaving the club at the end of the season mark is this a bolt out of the blue. yes or no he's been there twenty two years an awful long time there's been a bit of a fractious relationship with the fans in recent years with the not actually won an english league title since two thousand and four so we expected a decision to come at the end of the season what is surprising is that we've had the announcement today that he is stepping down and leaving the club and that's maybe because it was going to leak out we had to rush out the statement maybe it's to do with the potential successor or maybe it's because they realise that they've got to give him a great send off and the way to do that is maybe to give the players a jolt and tell them hey he's leaving it in the season you've got to go out on a high and that high could be europa league triumph a tournament which would allow them to qualify for the champions league so yeah very interesting end of an era really end of an era what type of legacy does he leave behind at arsenal oh massive i mean let's look at the numbers first three

english league titles including double and in two thousand and four he went the entire season on beatable unbeaten the invincibles season nor the premier league managers managed to do that also in seven f.a. cups and got to a champions league final but it's more his legacy in terms of changing the game completely him i mean when he came in one thousand nine hundred six no one knew who he was he came from japan people going who is this guy and immediately completely changed things he was very hot and he's like diet there's a great antidote from sol campbell the former defender who said he taught them all how to stew their teeth to make sure the sure sugar granules were all completely dissolved so that shows what a perfectionist he was but also on the pitch they were fantastic i mean the old arsenal used to be called boring boring arsenal because he used to be more nearly every time he changed that it was all about goals great play and. so yes it is a great legacy what type of reactions have you been seeing well from former players

people are arsenal and rival players rival managers then it's just been full on praise for a great man yes it's going to bit sour in the last few years but he really was one of a kind and will never see anyone managing for twenty two years again and we've heard from a couple of premier league managers today as well so let's take a look you always develop teams fantastic players and. dominating guy mid ninety's maybe early two thousand when he was really winning pretty much everything played wonderful football so i'm i admired his work always it was always been since i'm in england it's a little different because now we have to challenge them of course but from from germany he was always was always a big big role model in trouble all my respect who has put because he has done so premier league is with premier league one now think a huge personality like arson not to my down in any of the premier league is the premier league things would he have he has done here right his vision of respect

for the poor. wow mark big shoes to fill who is lined up well obviously there's lots of contenders for such a big job there's been talk in the british media about thomas took the form of bruce you don't want coach he is actually the favorite now with the bookmakers i'm not so sure that's going to happen because there's been lots of rumors that he's already got a deal with police and alex and some of the possibilities former arsenal players like tyrian ray cheery is now an assistant coach to belgium but that's the only managerial experience he's got so it might be a little. unknown the great players don't make great managers we've also got patrick vieira another former ask a legend he is a coach at the moment at the new york city f.c. but they are actually sort of run by manchester city so he's kind of jumped in with manchester city it's a bit strange that he would come back to ask all the contenders former byan coach color once a lofty possibly hot jeremy coach you're can love if the world cup goes badly all

very well you might want to change you know just have to wait and see mark lynas thank you so very much to keep on the story for us really appreciate it all right and that does it for us of iraq until then we'll have another update for you at the top the hour for now thank you so much for spending part of your day with us. for information. they want to express to facebook and twitter up to date and in touch.
