this is deja news coming to you live from berlin north korea threatens to cancel it summit with donald trump pyongyang says it will not take part in the meeting if the u.s. insists it must get bridge up its nuclear weapons is this a bump in the road or is it the end of the diplomatic pole also coming up. on the american defense the iran nuclear deal saying it's the best way to support peace and stability in the region the german chancellor made the comments on iran and a host of other controversial issues in a speech to parliament. helen

markham i'm on the thought she must north korea has told him to dodge plans for a historic summit with the united states pyongyang says it will not take part in the meeting if it is going to be quote a one sided affair where it is pressured to give up its nukes only of the north korea north korea also counseled a meeting with south korea into test a military exercises being conducted by seoul and washington. history being written only a few weeks ago at the summit of the north and south korean leaders. where pyongyang said it was prepared to denuclearize. but now north korea has put the brakes on that. in a possible sign of growing problems the north perspire

a shared jeweled summit with south korea. the reason. the it's the annual us south korea joint military exercises this is taking place south korea was surprised and disappointed by the delay. it's regrettable that north korea has decided to unilaterally postpone you. it also caught us off guard we have not heard anything from that government or the government of south korea to indicate that we would not continue conducting these exercises or that we would not continue planning for a meeting between president trump and kim jong un next month trump has taken credit for shepherding the korean peninsula towards peace here meeting newly freed u.s. citizens who had been held prisoner in north korea their release was hailed as yet another sign of thawing relations with pyongyang but now out of nowhere things

could be up in the air. and for the very latest joining me now from seoul is josh smith from reuters josh talks with south korea postponed down with the one of the june summit between came and u.s. president trump will take place isn't all korea is not going to try to get out of these talks on its nuclear program is that a move aimed at getting more leverage. for now it does seem like more of a move to gain more leverage perhaps change the tone that's been coming out of washington they explicitly criticised national security adviser john bolton suggestion. that north korea adopt some kind of libya model where they quickly and almost immediately and their nuclear weapons and other weapons over to the united states or other countries this is something that north korea rejected outright and specifically criticize the united states for focusing solely on denuclearization.

without offering any concessions as north korea puts it of their own postponing the meeting with the south was off to the historic meeting between the need is the north and south as we saw it out because just now with all the huge symbolic implications given that how much of a bill is this for the south. well we'll probably see in the next few days this is something that the north has done before including in recent months as the two sides have tried to reduce tensions and grow their connections between each country in the past north korea also. canceled of broccoli some of these lower level meetings only to be seen talks later so we'll likely see within the next few days what north korea's intentions are. and what about the talk show i do for going to have between cam and trump do you think

they will go ahead. as of now north korea does seem to be still interested in that they while they specifically criticize bolton they seem to praise some of trump's past statements and certainly lead to ground tension before that meeting to go forward. again a lot of this will also depend on the united states and we're likely to see what exactly president something else. next while injunction north korea has a long history of isolationism secretive and unpredictable behavior given that is this not the fourth stop or have made really come to step forward in diplomacy. well again that's hard to tell right off the bat even folks though who are hopeful for the summit say that this latest statement could be productive in that it might inject something of a reality check and bring some of the sky high expectations that have been going

around back perhaps to more reasonable levels and this they say could make this strong kim summit more likely to succeed at the practical level josh smith in the so south korea thank you very much for that. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the wild malaysian politician until it to him has been released from prison the former deputy prime minister was reportedly granted a ruling party and the release comes on his opposition alonso won the elections earlier this month on what it became was imprisoned in two thousand and fifteen on controversial charges of sodomy. in indonesia has been killed and several others wounded in an attack on a police barracks in the video who shot and killed for a few savings and wounded one of them the group slammed a minivan into a gate at the barracks and attacked office says it's somewhere i saw and. at least

sixteen people were killed after a bridge collapse in the indian city of our national interest. it happened during the evening traffic rescuers were able to save several people but some were still believed to be trapped under debris. german chancellor angela merkel has criticised the us president our trump for his decision to pull out his country from the iran nuclear deal makar singled out the issue during a contentious debate in the german parliament she said it was wrong for the u.s. to ditch the pact but she said trials atlantic ties must be able to endure disputes have a listen. move on yes but there are more issues to discuss like the ballistic missile program it or the influence of iran and hizbollah in syria. there are other questions as well. but the one question we have to answer and that we already have answered in opposition to the united states is there

a stronger level of dialogue if one abandons the deal or is the dialogue stronger if one remains in the deal we believe that by not leaving the iran deal it will be easier to continue talks which we must do ladies and gentlemen because the ballistic missile program is a great danger most specifically for israel. that we now drawn up political correspondent thomas farah's been listening to that budget debate here tell us first of all of why did the chancellor talk about iran in a debate about germany's bunch it. essentially i'm retired because the chancellor believes that the stability in germany and their well being of germany does not only depend on the measures that the government takes here at home where they were talking about investment in schools or in other infrastructure but also about the challenges that germany faces internationally we've heard on many occasions from the chance at our from other members of her government the fact that germany's security is also pegged to the security internationally know their words their international challenges also affect germany domestically and that's the reason why

i'm bill americal not only today focused on budget priorities with the we're talking about disinvestment push that we're talking or not acquiring new debts or having a balanced budget but also specifically on some of the most important international challenges where i'm going to call fiercely believes on multi naturalism and that's why she stressed today what we just heard regarding the iran nuclear deal so it was a wide ranging address speech on the issues dominated the debate well obviously international issues were the ones that dominated the debate and started obviously by discussing some of these elements that we just mentioned the budget debate but then obviously stressed all these key elements that she's been talking about internationally with where the whether we're talking about iran or whether we're talking about migration whether we're talking obviously about the transatlantic relationship where we're talking about the german french relationship where we're talking about the eurozone it was absolutely wide ranging debate today a wide ranging speech by angela merkel but obviously the key topic and that's the

reason why members of parliament are still debating this issue as was the budget and that's what we also heard from other members of parliament today and tell us the debate today was open by alys by the from the far right if tea party it's the largest opposition party in the been destroyed let's first have a listen to how she ended his speech today. indians in a nice age but i don't see tat to allow me to end with a quote from former czech president men it's something you've already heard here and i quote if you live in a country that might penalize you for fishing without a license but not for crossing the border illegally without a valid passport and then you would be right in saying this country is governed by idiots slant yet fallen it's your duty and. i so that was the quality of germany's far right

f.t. party the co-leader now tell us we heard she was booed at the end of her speeches more about the tone of what she said and how it went on with other parliamentarians while this has been a tone of rita that we've heard from the f.t. on various occasions not the first time that they have such a tone when it comes to debates here at the. that was thomas sparrow speaking to me let me now bring you up to date with some sports news and starting with the bundesliga the german sports media are reporting that coach a rough housing her team is out at leipsic the hospital took over the club just after it was promoted to the first year in two thousand and sixteen and he guided lapsing to a surprise second place finish in that initial season this season though was less bright for him and leipzig dropped to sixth while still managing a spot in the quarterfinals of the europa league. reportedly refused to stay

without a contract extension beyond the end of next season now the europa league final kicks off in france tonight the club's olympic musée at atletico madrid will face off in what is both teams last chance at a trophy this season one of the french outfits are known for their attacking prowess of politico the monsters of defense it's sure to be a spectacle on the pitch. goals galore is what most say i've been known for this season star player dimitri pyatt has not stopped twenty four assists while floating on top of all has set up eighteen and scored twenty six however the french outfit are a long way away from them one thousand nine hundred heyday where they won the champions league and reached two more european finals two for two more you cross will once imitate what a famous previous israel. athletico stand in our way says i may know that it's going to be very difficult it's going to be quite

a mission but that would make it even more of a sensation if we did get our hands on the trophy the. opponents of letting her madrid will be a tough nut to crack they have the meanest defense in spain just twenty goals conceded in the league and there are threats up front to. one piece more has racked up twenty seven goals and fifteen assists and will be eager to impress on home soil as recent winners and champions league regulars are plenty of the favorites. too we need to minimise their attacking prowess look at their home with their great side going forward and have a lot of ambition korean as you know that had an excellent season in europe and in the french league i think it will be a beautiful football match on a beautiful finals hootenanny we have two teams have a very similar style as you were both official but play direct football and use the pull very well for them within the. coach diego simeone he won't be on the bench for the final as he is still serving a touchline ban but the occasion will surely be enough to motivate both sets of
