merkel met president trump at the white house the focus was on style as well as substance. after a frosty first meeting last spring in washington this time there were signs of a thaw no handshakes burst on this occasion and there were kind words from president trump that we have a really great relationship and we actually have had a great relationship right from the beginning but some people didn't understand that but we understand it and that's what's important but very extraordinary woman and it's an honor to have you at the white house for people. but the cordial tone couldn't hide differences on the issues at hand trump has threatened to pull the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal once to save it although it does this agreement is anything but perfect it will not solve all of the problems of iran is one piece of the may say one building block that we can improve upon the money all phone con on the

issue of trade got no assurances that the trump would continue to exempt the e.u. from steel and aluminum tariff states instead trump bemoaned the u.s. trade deficit with the european union has it's been unfair and i don't blame the chancellor and i don't blame germany i don't even blame the european union i blame the people that preceded me for allowing this to happen there is no way we should have a trade deficit of one hundred fifty one billion dollars. i mean nato spending trump revived an old grievance with europe and we're protecting europe and yet we pay by far more than anybody else and nato is wonderful but it helps europe more than it helps us and why are we paying the vast majority of the costs thank you very much everybody even though merkel's meeting with trump lasted only a few hours it followed a three day visit by french president emanuel not calm neither leader was able to get trump to change course on iran or trade it's

a sign transatlantic ties could remain troubled. joining me to discuss this further now is the cold and that she's an associate fellow at the german council on foreign relations now nicole no actual achievements that we can necessarily put off at the moment perhaps a warm up in a relationship between merkel and trump a mugging how significant is that woman reception to the transatlantic relationship it's certainly very important because you know you reach results in iraq a constructive atmosphere and if the mood and the atmosphere is guided by a more positive spirit that already helps that at the end of the day this visit will be viewed on the basis off the successes and the chancellor had very concrete ideas of what she wanted to achieve in this meeting and we have to see young may second if she reach the goal for example with the exception of the european union

from the terrorists us it's going to impose yes let's pick up on that a little bit more because you mentioned the exemptions for the e.u. when it comes to tariffs there was also the iran nuclear deal that was a conversation that the leaders were keen to have as well because we also sort of course the french president a man who i might call go to washington before machall needa back home or marco managed to draw out commitments on these issues to just the e.u. have any leverage going forward you know sometimes the process is so. process for certain steps have to be taking one after another and the visit of my troll prepared the ground for further negotiations and what i thought was very interesting about the visit of merkel is that she admitted that the nuclear deal is far from perfect one of the issues is said you know it has a certain time limit to it and the other issue the us is complaining about is that the ballistic missile program is not part of the deal and she said we have to improve the deal but it's

a good base to further negotiate in this is the european position they consider the deal it's a big success for europe and delta see it in strengthening the more reformist in iran so for the u.s. president to listen to the european leaders and to understand we're trying to understand what they have what they can put on the table is an important step right now when we look at the visits of merkel and michael can you see a kind of game plan emerging from these two and how they deal with trump absolutely i mean one of the positive signs that came from the two visits was the european union now wants to show we are we stand together now we speak with one for it's a criticism that has been heard over the years over and over again and the telephone exchange between my call and. on friday morning already showed that they are really you know working hand and hand the results however we don't

know what the outcome will be and that is all still to play for vote from the german council on foreign relations thank you for your insights. the international community is praising the leaders of north and south korea for working to formally end the state of war between their countries this is sixty five years off to the end of fighting in the korean war of friday's historic summit north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president moon j.n. said they would sign a formal peace treaty by the end of this year and work towards a nuclear free peninsula and they insisted they don't wish to repeats the mistakes of the past. an extraordinary moment in korean history after decades of hostilities and the threat of a nuclear confrontation kim jong un a moon j in embraced a new era of peace in the peninsula. the leaders signed a historic declaration which aims to end the two countries longstanding conflict

key points include a plan to convert the cease fire into a formal treaty an agreement to pursue the denuclearization of the korean peninsula reuniting families separated by the war and the follow up summit in the north capital pyongyang this autumn. in south korea reaction to the summit was mixed. community image good symmetry that it would be great if reunification were possible but if not at least i hope that by declaring an end to the korean war we can live in peace. good idea but for elderly people like us who experienced the korean war it is hard to trust north korea because of its past behavior can we really trust them it would be great if we could see much of the muslim brotherhood. in the north the state controlled media was upbeat. well

north and south korea confirmed the common goal of realizing a nuclear free korean peninsula through complete denuclearize ation. but despite the groundbreaking summit a history of failed peace or times has some critics wary of the north commitment many wonder whether the summit like the tree the two leaders planted will bear fruit and now some of the other stories making news around the world archaeologists event covered a mass grave of over one hundred forty children in peru dating back to the fifteenth century wounds on the skeletons suggest the children were sacrificed along with hundreds of baby llamas archaeologists say it may be the largest ritual killing of children in history. a former policeman charged with a string of rapes and murders across california has made his first appearance in course the seventy two year old was read charges on two of the eight murder counts
