a catholic country strict rules on harmony in pregnancy. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us we begin with some breaking news this hour from the united states where u.s. president donald trump has canceled next month's planned summit with north korean leader kim jong un the abrupt turnaround was announced in a letter the trump addressed to kim u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe briefed to lawmakers in washington on the shock decision and read from trump's letter of a less likely based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting therefore please let this letter serve to represent that the singapore summit for the good of both parties but to the detriment of the world will not take place. you talk about your nuclear capabilities but ours are so massive and powerful that i pray to god they will never have to be used i felt that

a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me and ultimately it is only that dialogue that matters some day i look very much forward to meeting you if you change your mind having to do with this important summit please do not hesitate to call me or write the world in north korea in particular has lost a great opportunity for a lasting peace and great boss prosperity and wealth this missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history sincerely yours donald j. trump president of the united states of america thank you mr chairman thank you sir and that was the u.s. secretary of state speaking a short while ago reading on trump's letter trump for his part is actually speaking right now also addressing the issue for more on that let's bring in our correspondent there richard stan who is standing by with the latest from washington so what has the you has president had to say for himself. hi sara well there had been enormous anticipation around this meeting but it was never really clear if it was going to take place or whether seemingly warming ties were going to fizzle

out as soon as they had emerged and we've just heard president trump say in this press conference that this is a tremendous setback for both north korea and the world's we also said that the strong sanctions and maximum pressure campaign that the united states has been running is set to continue and i was really the major question was as it seems that we're stepping away from diplomatic talks from dialogue with the united states return it to this maximum pressure campaign which trump it originally credited with bringing kim to the table in the first place and there were really so many questions claire hanging over the summit from the very beginning increasingly as we saw as you mentioned on rocky ground in the past few days do we have the sense that trump ever really intended going ahead with it. well that's a question is has that trump you know did trump truly intend to hold these talks it did seem that his intentions were honest the fact that he's walking away now is something that's being viewed differently from down both sides of the aisle in the united states some saying maybe this is

a stronger negotiating tactic he's making clear that he will only accept a deal that he finds meets his terms but many others say that this makes the united states look like it's not an honest broker north korea was willing to come to the table the united states had said that it was as well and it's something that's likely to alienate u.s. allies that it would really need in negotiations like this like south korea. one of the things that he also wrote in his letter which was quite interesting was he was really leaving the door open at the writing you know if you change your mind call right is the door that open cler. that is an interesting part of the letter because here we see donald trump you know withdrawing from these talks but then telling him if you change your mind please give me a call now i think unless the white house produces a clear list of demands unless we see some kind of strategy emerging in the next couple of days it doesn't look like we're going to be returning to any talks this

would have been a historic summit between a sitting u.s. president and the leader of north korea in fact the first time that we would have seen anything like this and the likelihood of them coming back together now with that trump has said that he will not meet with kim does not look promising claire richardson with the latest from washington thank you. of the united nations secretary general antonio led international leaders in expressing disappointment at the summit's cancellation. deeply concerned by the cancellation of the planned meeting in singapore between the president united states so that we the democratic people's republic of korea and there you see the particles to continue their desire. to find the best to the peaceful then far to go. if the.

for more on this let's bring him bound to baghdad he is an expert on korean security policy from the berlin bit based think tank the german council on foreign relations welcome to you and thank you so much for joining us this afternoon do you think that the now is really in the coffin when it comes to this summit because we have seen erratic behavior strong language from both of these leaders what was your reaction when you saw this cancellation well my personal reaction both rather positive because i think there was not much time to prepare the summit there's been talks between the two koreas to prepare the reproach meant there were some preparations for the summit between the u.s. and north korea but it was not enough because such a summit needs a lot of preparation between diplomats high level beatings between the u.s. and north korea that was not the case so i think it's good to gain more time with this consulate ok so you sound pretty hopeful there i just want to play because you mentioned for our viewers that the u.s. president has actually speaking at the moment we just want to have

a quick listen in to what he's been saying and get your reaction there after. to begin by saying that. based on the recent statement of north korea have decided to terminate the planned summit in singapore in june twelfth well many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially i believe that this is a tremendous setback for north korea and indeed a setback for the world i've spoken to general mattis and the joint chiefs of staff in our military which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world that has been greatly enhanced recently as you well know is reading if there's a certain likewise have spoken to south korea and japan and

they are not only ready should fully sure reckless acts be taken by north korea. but they are willing to shoulder much of the cost of any financial burden any of the costs associated by the united states in operations if such an unfortunate situation is forced upon us hopefully positive things will be taking place with respect to the future of the north korean . so i just like to pick out a couple of things that he is referring to there saying that the military is ready should there be an unfortunate situation pushed upon us you know there was so much hope leading into the summit even in the united states my understanding is that they they printed commemorative coins already was that hope on realistic and are we potentially facing a worst case scenario here some military action you wouldn't if you listen to this

speech if you still mention that there's opportunities so i think the doors will close to it where it was simply too early i mean the needs a lot of preparation to set up of the progress that leads to peace proses a lot of details that need to be just just and i think there were also some divergences in the goals of both parties had like the north koreans want to negotiate their nuclear program but those need security guarantees and measures that would lead over into the north can defend itself or would be protected in the future in the same terms the u.s. at the expectation that the pressure that was put up last year actually led to this situation that north korea wants to give up its program and that of course probably was some old sofa during the past days or it was the realization the white tones that they're trying to go on this is for i want to talk a little bit more about south korea because that was also a country of course the doctrine mentioned they have so much at stake here and we know that you know in recent months they've taken

a softer line when it comes to interacting with the north a more open take here is it fair to say that that diplomatic strategy has failed and do you think that they need to change course going forward no absolutely not themselves took the opportunity which for reproach meant at this stage amidst definitely the two koreas who need to take the initiative for setting up a diplomatic process and so the best case scenario is that they're really preparing all the different steps that are necessary and get the u.s. on board and that is hopefully. happening now president moon has been in washington in recent days and i think that was definitely his message to the wattles i'm hearing from you the fact that you think that there needs to be a process the fact that there needs to be more preparatory work going on just briefly now before we go what do you think a realistic timetable is for someone in the future well i think we are at least need to know other through year to prepare some real meetings that lead to the

nuclearization but the realistic. is very much appreciate your expertise this afternoon. now dutch investigators say that the missile that brought down the malaysia airlines flight m.h. seventeen nearly four years ago came from a russia based military unit the passenger jet was headed from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was blown out of the sky over eastern ukraine all two hundred ninety eight passengers and crew were killed russia has rejected the investigators latest findings. they'd already established won't shut down the plane now for the first time dutch led investigators have determined the russian made book missile did originate in russia. still to conclude you go home and go to birkdale a joint investigation team has concluded that the book missile that shot down i mean is seventeen came from the fifty first missile brigade based in ca's skin

russia. in the. investigators laid out how they came to that conclusion using photos and videos taken by the public to discover crucial details and map out the missiles journey that journey tragically ended here in a field in eastern ukraine in territory held by pride russian separatists flight m.h. seventeen had taken off from amsterdam heading to the malaysian capital kuala lumpur it disappeared from radar screens four hours later over the village of. well two hundred ninety eight people on board lost their lives most of them dutch and as many as eighty children since that day in july twenty fourth scene investigators have been gradually piecing together the evidence they now want people to come forward to help identify who fired the missile lot of our work

in the in the last years have been all the forensic work and all the work around. everything we found on the internet and now we are narrowing down a narrowing down to finding the perpetrators so she had this as a confident goal for the next phase but russia has repeatedly dismissed the findings of the investigation and blames ukraine for the incident and with moscow using its veto to block an international tribunal and the meaningful criminal trial looks unlikely more news now with than physical and then trouble for global carmakers the german comic is unhappy about this a real drag on the dax today investors sensing trouble ahead washington wants to impose new tariffs on imported vehicles it claims it has evidence they've damaged the domestic industry weakening the economy impacting national security german cars remain popular in the united states that's a thorn in the side of u.s. president donald trump who maintains that foreign imports have

a road it to the domestic car industry over the past two decades the u.s. car imports have risen by fifty percent while the number of workers in american car plants has been fulling german factories in the u.s. have fisons of new hires german automakers a kind for one in six jobs in the u.s. car industry but now donald trump is reportedly mulling a plan to impose import tariffs of up to twenty five percent on vehicles european car makers at present pay about a tenth of the us car makers like mercedes b.m.w. and fox which money factor in the u.s. would be less badly hit than companies like porsche. last year almost half a million german cars were exported to the u.s. it's not only german car makers that are fearing a potential terrified japan another major car exporter is also feeling the heat which could mean if the u.s.

import tariffs go ahead they cause great confusion to the global economy have a negative impact on multilateral trade under the w t o system that would be very regrettable. opinion remains divided about whether import tariffs would actually benefit the u.s. car industry some experts say the move is unlikely to create new jobs you know joins us now from the association of german chambers of commerce and industry and you're good to see you i've been talking to lots of analysts about this for weeks now and they are saying a word saying that this would be the big one the metals tariffs both china and you the u.s. which is testing the waters but what it would if it came to cut tariffs is could really start a trade war or it's a very difficult situation of the moment and. the reasoning for the new attempt to impose tariffs is a little bit constructed so we're heading into a very difficult situation on world trade and especially because one of the major

german branches with a car sector is targeted a little bit constructed national security i mean where is the reasoning in that what's what's washington strategy. well the surgery seems to be a little bit always the same for us if we. impose with strong words threats and then we might discuss about it it's very difficult to negotiate. on such a background but the question is what will really follow and this is a major attempt to take the german car industry and we see a little bit that competition somehow doesn't seem to. be a good element anymore in the u.s. so i'm a americans go to buy a chrysler rather than a b.m.w. now well it seems to be doleful that the terrorists will be the only reasoning for that is the question of who is making the better product and that's what i meant with competition you have to there's

a competition in the car sector and the americans a little bit try to sneak below that bar and say we impose tariffs and everything will get easier that will you know it will on that potential trade war for the association of german chambers of commerce and industry thank you. the diesel scandal has officially reached dima germany's transport authorities as the comic are installed a legal defeat devices in its sadie's benz veto delivery van will have to recall six thousand of them the agency says dima use the technology to switch off the exhaust cleanings is thems during driving which would boost nitrogen oxide emissions aimable have to remove the prohibited software from and spends. it on a share price under fire on two fronts the car tariffs and its recall general loans been tracking this story for us from the frankfurt stock exchange ginnell house

dietl doing. well for now they've released a statement saying that the technology they installed was there to ensure quote a robust exhaust gas cleaning in various driving conditions and that the only reason the transport authority thought that was illegal was because it's not a requirement as such in order to pass emissions tests so for dyer it's down to differing interpretations of the law and they said that that's what they would be prepared to argue in court if it came to that now i'm not so sure shareholders are convinced as he said the share price took a beating on the news as well as on the news of the us auto imports it slid close to three percent its lead close to three percent but you know misery loves company and is joined in that slide by the rest of the docks which has fallen sharply on the news of the council of north korea summit so it's right on right here at frankfurt at the end of the trading day. his rules for dialogue general thank you very much germany's leading linda deutsch a bank is launching of

a seven thousand jobs part of an overhaul under a new c.e.o. christiane saving is why back in two thousand and twelve ga was the world's second largest investment bank since then it's slipped to number eight most of the big u.s. banks credit suisse from switzerland bok leads from the u.k. which is market capitalization the value of all its shares combined has slumped from about thirty billion back in twenty twelve to just twenty three point seven there's been a steep decline in revenues to falling from over thirty three billion to twenty six point four billion euros it's not one to share holders are up in arms many directing their anger at supervisory board chief paul oxley he's been in the position since twenty twelve and is accused of steering the bank in the wrong direction the other hand has been saving has been adored as since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine starting as an apprentice he's also held senior positions in

risk management and the legal division. well as europe's biggest economy doesn't show any need a lender that set up globally and put that to analysts unspeakable calls the term economy needed a big bank we should never come in high degree of the paranoia from the anglo saxons here too because they've got a totally different culture and if there's any stress in the market as might come in the world of donald trump very easily german companies won't be first priority to own business won't be first priority of all these kind of banks so to stay on all levels we should have gone to a bank in a strong that's what we don't have at the moment that's why everybody in germany is a great thames and with great interest on the development of the daughter bank unspinnable sara back to you thank you so much ben going to china now in fact because a german chancellor angela merkel is in china at a time when a bevy of international crises appear to be aligning the interests of both countries merkel had intended to focus her two day visit to beijing on open access

to chinese markets and she writes but recent u.s. policy moves are revealing cracks in germany's longtime alliance with the u.s. pushing the iran nuclear deal and trade barriers to the top of her diplomatic checklist. brass bands red carpets and a guard of honor in china at least the old rules of diplomacy still apply. good news for anglo american who amid tarbell in global headwinds is looking eastward for a friendly face. from the iran nuclear deal to fending off u.s. trade tariffs and beijing find themselves side by side. you know. we are of the view that we should be getting an unlimited exemption from these tariffs

discussions with the american government as the chinese government also is. or. would and we work together well in the area of steel within the framework of the g twenty steel forum and could really solve some of the problems. where we were we agreed to maintain multilateralism and rules of free trade. the americans we agreed to promote trade liberalization and investment opportunities to the. chinese door is open to you for help and we will be open even wider. for. the reception here is a far cry from merkel's report with another ally in. her encounters with president trump marked by all her body language and misunderstandings. perhaps no surprise then that merkel's foreign minister

had little to show for his visit to washington yesterday with a compromise on iran said to be far off. back in china merkel spent the afternoon with president xi jinping pressing the case for strength in trade and a foreign line on the iran nuclear deal as she bolsters new alliances the german chancellor must tread carefully for fear of alienating older ones. tomorrow ireland is hosting a referendum on whether to reform the catholic country's near total ban on abortions irish women must travel to other countries to access abortion services apart from in cases of rape or incest we met one of. a loving mother that's what jennifer ryan always hoped to be. six years ago she was pregnant for the second time it seemed like a normal pregnancy until a routine scan in the twenty second week brought jennifer's world crashing down she

can still remember the doctor's exact words. oh no. your baby has a lot of problems she has a very severe form spinal bifida starting on her under shoulder blades and she won't be able to survive with us on top of that she has no kidneys and the severity of the spinal bifida cause a lot of damage from brain your baby is incompatible with life. jennifer decided she wanted to spare her baby any pain and have an abortion what happened next was almost as traumatic she and her husband had to hastily arrange a trip to a clinic in liverpool because doctors an island couldn't help. are you ready. they couldn't talk to you about it over here that we got the details of live promise on a scrap of paper you know we had to ring ourselves they couldn't do any of our for us. just you know like you were just totally alone they took

a ferry to liverpool went there and back in twenty four hours it's a journey three to four thousand women make each year it's proof that terminations are reality and i learned to say those who want the country's strict abortion law to be repealed these activists in central dublin come painting for giving women the choice. but anti-abortion campaign as fear if the law is repealed women could feel pressured into terminating their pregnancies for example if the baby has a disability. right can you imagine going into a hospital this assists life concern a slight issue. a doctor will be obliged if we have at all allowing for abortion to tell people and explain that they can have an abortion and suddenly you feel undermined suddenly your commitment to a pregnancy is is reduced some even oppose abortions in cases of rape. there are other options out there and would never like to think that

a woman feels she has to have an abortion. although jennifer ryan can understand this view she's in favor of repealing the law she believes only the woman can decide what's right for her. my daughter was never going to have a life she was never going to exist in this world you know she was never going to get a chance to live like the doctors to tell me she wasn't one to be able to breathe i wasn't pretty i was protecting her making the choice i made i was protecting her from pain jennifer's unborn daughter holds a special place in the family's hearts jessica would have been her name jennifer

hopes women will soon no longer have to go through what she did. what keeps us in shape what makes us see. my name is dr costly cut i talk to medical a flood. watch them at work. and i discuss what you can do to improve go ahead. stay choose and let's all try to stay pitching next detox. laundry god international talk show for journalists discuss the topic of the week resisting nine hundred billion dollars in the new silk road possibly the biggest infrastructure project in history is the goal to force the trade in developmental does china have
