this is news coming to you live from berlin north korea tells donald trump it's ready to talk at any time this after the u.s. president abruptly canceled supplants summit with the north's leader kim jong il and we'll ask who can now pick up the diplomatic ball after trump's dramatic you try also coming up for years he seemed untouchable but today harvey weinstein faces arrest in new york described the movie mogul is expected to surrender to police after an avalanche of accusations of sexual assault and rape. and ireland has one

of the strictest so portion laws in europe but what that could be about to change voters head to the polls for a historic referendum on the termination of pregnancy. hello i'm terry marchant good to have you with us north korea says it will stay still wants talks with the united states insisting that it's open to them at any time this after u.s. president donald trump abruptly canceled a highly anticipated summit with north korea's leader kim jong un in a message to kim president trump blamed his decision on quote open hostility from pyongyang south korea has expressed regret that the summit is not going ahead. and that puts a plan so much with north korea on ice. the u.s. president blamed p.r.

on young's open hostility towards washington but trump left open the possibility of meeting at a later date if north korea fulfilled the u.s. demand for denuclearization if it when kim jong un chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions. i am waiting trump was asked if the move would make war more likely to see what happens i hope that. will continue on. just hours before a tunnel leading to north korea's underground nuclear testing site. was blown up by pyongyang as a gesture of goodwill the government there responded to trump's decision the abrupt announcement of the consolation of the meeting is only expected for us and we can't put find it extremely regrettable we again state to the u.s. our willingness to sit face to face at any time in any form to resolve the problem

. seoul has said it will keep pushing for dialogue between pyongyang and washington news of trump's decision came as a disappointment to south koreans hoping for progress towards peace. with. north korea has already released u.s. detainees and dismantle its nuclear test site but the u.s. has tested north korea's patients i think this is the reason for the consolation of the summit people on the korean peninsula including myself are worried that it will go back to an unstable situation with the. president in who matter kim jong un at a historic summit last month said he was perplexed by trump's consolation after big steps forward it appears resolving tensions on the korean peninsula won't be as quick and easy as some had hoped. for some analysis now we've got marcus com with us here in the city oh he's from the german institute for international and

security affairs here in berlin good morning marcus so do you see this cancellation as a strategic move by trump or is it just another impulse of reaction i don't know it seems to me more than in some kind of emergency exits from the from the administration because what has been has become obvious over the last couple of weeks is the both sides talk about denuclearization but they mean totally different things for the united states the comprehensive verifiable and immediate you know there is nation of north korea as the starting point of negotiations or a camel theory and it's the end point if ever and it has been i'm sorry that means that the whole strategy of the united states. where does this impetus this diplomatic impetus from north korea come from why is north korea's so keen to meet with trump. i mean we have back actually back couple of weeks no. couple of weeks ago there was tremendous international pressure on the wrong all the korea we have

six rounds of sanctions at least but they not only by the united nations security council sanctions by the united states additional sanctions by the european union so life has become quite miserable even for the nomenklatura of on in north korea on top of that we have the military threats and web some personal reshuffling in the tribe and very meaning that those people favoring regime change are now at the forefront of the public policy debates in washington that this is an uncomfortable situation for the north koreans that explains to a degree why they have reacted very reasonable last night and why they remain interested in negotiations ok there are several players involved here course there's no south korea in the u.s. and the focus is on those three at the moment but what about china and china is also north korea's neighbor has

a lot at stake here what role is china playing and it seems to me that the that the chinese of the so to speak when as of the last i mean the over the last couple of weeks we all got the impression that china had lost control of all korea that's north korea had developed close ties not only to south korea but the unexpected move to agree on a summit an unprecedented move by the north korean leader seems to be contrary to a chinese interests and by then it was just created by the fact that camilla own moved to travel to twice to beijing to explain this policy and i think the chinese were very concerned that they might see some kind of help or small between south korea and north korea and the united states and all korea but now they have regained control of the situation but then. but china still must be very concerned that if this diplomatic process results in the reunification of korea of the two

koreas that it could end up with with u.s. forces on its border i think we're not seeing reunification in the foreseeable future and particularly to solve greens have become very very was a put it sold war in this regard and i think one element of any us as north korean agreement will be in some kind of rain from three gunmen been more u.s. troops on south korean soil and i'm pretty sure that the chinese will make sure of that he will maybe not withdraw it completely but there will be for a route used extreme ok marcus thank you so much for your analysis more for your time from the german institute for international and security affairs here in berlin now it's catch up on some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in canada fifteen people have been injured in the explosion in mississauga tronto suburb police are searching for two men suspected of having detonated an improvised explosive device inside

including rape against the co-founder of the miramax studio and the weinstein company the allegations gave rise to the me too movement this will be the first time weinstein has been formally charged as the avalanche of allegations emerged. harvey weinstein was once one of hollywood's most celebrated moguls his studios were behind a string of oscar winning films in weinstein's hands an actor's career could be made or broken but his story began to fall last october when the new york times published multiple reports of serious sexual misconduct more than seventy women came forward to accuse weinstein including some of hollywood's biggest female stars allegations range from unwanted sexual advances to rape. in the days ago actor asia argento spoke out at the con film festival i have

a few words to say. in one thousand nine hundred seven i was raped by harvey weinstein here at cannes. i was twenty one years so. this festival was this hunting ground. i want to make a prediction. harvey weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again. weinstein has denied all allegations of unwanted sexual contact with women law enforcement officials have been investigating the claims of criminal conduct against him since late last year in the wake of the scandal weinstein's wife has left him his production company has filed for bankruptcy and he's been ejected from the academy that once honored him with oscars. the allegations against weinstein also sparked the me to movement women around the world have leveled allegations of abuse against powerful men in the entertainment business and government hope the

watershed moment has led to a global discussion on gender equality and changes in the way women are treated in the workplace. more on this story let's cross over to los angeles now our hollywood reporter k.j. matthews is standing by for us kate weinstein has agreed to surrender himself to authorities i understand this is part of the deal worked out with weinstein's lawyers what can you tell us about the terms of his surrender yes he is going to seventy invoke time york city from they are taking to them have criminal where they've already arranged between his attorney i think him and grab him hasn't waned to deal with accused of attorneys not is part of a bail package where once he put up one million dollars in cash and agree on a two hundred twenty also surrender his passport and of course travel would be restricted kitschy stay with us just a moment because another hollywood superstar is facing allegations of sexual

misconduct today actor morgan freeman has issued an apology after reports of multiple sexual harassment allegations according to us media reports eight women have come forward saying freeman had subjected them to a range of troubling behavior on film sets or promotional tours yella geishas include the hollywood actor making comments about their bodies or touching them suggestively in a statement the shawshank redemption star apologized anyone who felt quote uncomfortable or disrespected. so k.j. another hollywood icon under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations is the film industry still coming to terms with the me too movement there. i believe they are you know you have to recall that more than two hundred thirty days ago was when the first bomb shell hit with harvey weinstein that's when that explosive new york times story came out and since then

like i said there's been more than two hundred been from the world of politics is nice and especially in hollywood who have been accused of not only a sexual assault sexual harassment but sometimes three and morgan freeman is just the latest in that case that they are on thursday rather here in hollywood a report was released stating three eight women have come forward because. of inappropriate behavior from two years ago one production the sister of the same back in two thousand and twelve he tried to return skirt not once not twice but a number of times and it was only after costar told him to knock it off the top but he continued to ask you know whether or not she was wearing underwear and then there are other reproduction resources that have come forward that either worked at his production company or sector and even intertainment reporter that was eight months pregnant is coming forward saying well she went right there at a press junket he takes inappropriate comments to her so of course once they see it

she released a statement saying sorry. k.j. thank you so much for the k.j. matthews there hollywood reporter talking to us from l.a. . well people in ireland are heading to the polls today at a historic referendum their boat will decide whether to reform the country's near total ban all abortions polls have just opened and the result is expected this weekend ireland has seen weeks of bitter campaigning which has left the mostly catholic nation divided currently ireland has some of the most restrictive laws in europe the only legal case for an abortion is a pregnant woman's life is at risk in cases of rape or fetal fatal fetal abnormalities women in ireland have to travel abroad for abortions g.w. went to meet one of those women. and 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 as well as crushing down she can still remember the doctor's exact words. hero no i think your baby has a lot of problems and she has a very severe form a spinal bifida starting on her and her shoulder blades and she won't be able to survive with us and on top of the she has no kidneys and the severity of the spine if that's cause a lot 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 in island couldn't help. are you ready. they couldn't talk about it over here that we got the details of live on

a scrap of paper you know we had to ring ourselves they could do any of our for us . just you know like you were just you felt 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 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 campaigners fear if the law is repealed women could feel pressured into terminating their pregnancies for example if the baby has a disability. can you imagine going into hospital this slight concern a slight issue. that doctors will be obliged if we have a whole allowing for abortion to tell people and explain that they can have an abortion and suddenly you feel undermined 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 going to be able to breathe i wasn't pretty i was protecting her making the choice unaids who was protecting her from pain jennifer's unborn daughter holds a special place in the family's hearts jessica would have been hung named jennifer hopes women will soon no longer have to go through what she did. well today is the dawn of a new era for european internet users care that's right terry as of today europeans

are getting their lives back at least the digital part of it the e.u. has recognized that the data is private and personal and belongs to the individual so as of today every e.u. citizen can demand that companies like facebook google or amazon tell us what kind of personal data they hold what they do with it and have it corrected or even deleted. whether you use the internet to search for information connect with friends or simply to do your shopping going online means sharing personal information but in many cases it's unclear exactly what happens to that data. who has access to it what can companies do with it. the new e.u. legislation aims to address some of these issues. under the new rules companies will only be allowed to collect data relevant to their services

so whether up for example won't be allowed to access your address book of photographs the new regulations also afford individuals the right to launch a complaint with a supervisory authority in their own country instead of potentially having to challenge a foreign company abroad. those violating data protection rules will face harsher fines instead of the maximum three hundred thousand euros in germany companies will face up to twenty million euros in penalties or four percent of the new will turnover whichever is bigger for facebook but to be one point three billion euros. the new regulation requires companies and website operators to pay closer attention to what they do with their users information. and remaining legal anomalies are likely to be settled in the courts in the coming years. consumer watchdogs have welcomed the new rules and say they give individuals more control over their

personal information. though all sounds well and good but are we regulating our digital economy to dest us data protections stand in the way of progress questions i want to here's a locker is policy and politics editor motherboards germany thank you very much for coming to the studio to raise or are we making life to dig difficult for the digital economy and i we actually prevent a european success story like facebook you know i think quite the opposite i think this is a decision that was long overdue. and i think in the light of hacking scandal say came about every day basically in the last year or so it is an important part for growing up and i mean growing up also for businesses to handle consumer daughter in a responsible way and also having informational duties to towards the customer so i think that is a very good step mark zuckerberg who's been very much the focus of criticism

recently he said that his company is always in here to this regulation let's just listen in to what he said. giving people control of how they're doing is just has been a core principle of facebook for since the beginning. but in g.d.p. are some new controls and. some areas that we need to comply with but overall it isn't such a massive departure from how we've approached this in the past and i don't want to downplay it there are stronger roles but that where we've needed to put a bunch of work into making sure that we comply with but as a whole the philosophy behind this is not completely different from how we approach . the rights to facebook take data protection suits you know i don't think they he knows exactly how to apply these new rules to what happened with the cameras because scandal for example because otherwise this wouldn't have come about we know

that we had to testify in front of the u.s. senate exactly because. troves of users were exposed to have that out exposed to third party companies absolutely no control over and much like a folk also kind of invaded a lot of critical questions by saying well i will follow up on that in written form of course because you just couldn't say who has this who has the data so no i don't think facebook has been in a major role of the. data protection ok just recently one example of technology standing in the way of a previous c. standing in the way just recently i was looking for flats in berlin and i looked online for flats and i checked out they wanted to check out the area with the check out the houses on google street view which i find incredibly useful and you know this is what i got this is i don't know whether we can see the yes the many many

houses here in berlin are just blurred out because one person in the house demands that that the whole house is being. blood out we taking previously and data protection to fall well i think it is a choice and previously it is a choice and can be a choice and other countries can be kind of proud of the spro of that uses take on here because otherwise you have a lot of informational information or rights that are being used and i think that the new g.d.p. . if you are is a step in the direction that uses can actually os companies what are you doing with my daughter who's going to see what's who's going to use going to get it so to and this is i think important also for you how your doctor travels throughout the internet because otherwise when you don't take up this right for example to see

where your doctor has moved to speak move to for one company it can solve these mysteries of why this shoe at is following you around for years and years and years and i think this transparency is long overdue in a way thank you very much there's an offer. for us court has ordered south of south korean electronics john some so to pay five hundred thirty nine million dollars to its rival apple the american tech firm had accused some some of copying its design for small phones some some have argued it should pay much less in damages but the court sided with apple awarding about half of the one billion dollars demanded routing is a win for the i phone maker in the long running legal battle between the two take john. as day two of on the trip to china the german chancellor will be spending it in the southern city of shenzhen where she'll be viewing chinese innovations in
