claim the champions league trophy for the third straight year defeating the ripple on the final we'll talk about the match the magic and the misfortune. that. i'm irish waiter thanks for joining us north korean leader kim jong un says he's still committed to a summit with u.s. president donald trump in singapore next month trump first pushed for the summit and then on thursday abruptly canceled the june twelfth talks and now says preparations are moving ahead again yesterday kim held a surprise meeting with south korean president in that may have really kick started the process. rechy know to keep peace efforts on track south korean president mungy in the north korean leader kim jong un hold a surprise second meeting in the demilitarized zone one month after their historic first encounter. later in the t.v.

address to the nation president moon said kim was committed to denuclearizing the korean peninsula he also said that kimock stressed his fixed will and holding face to face talks with donald trump. it would have to know months i told chairman kim that if he decides to put into practice a complete denuclearization to president trump is open to economic cooperation and ending hostile relations yes. i just want the u.s. president who called off some of the plans earlier in the week now says the original date remains possible. i think there's a lot of goodwill i think people want to see if we can get that meeting and get something done if we got that done and if we can be successful in the denuclearization. of the korean peninsula it would be a great thing for north korea would be a great thing for south korea be great for japan and great for the world great for the united states great for china

a lot of people are working on it and it's moving along very nicely so we're looking at june twelfth in singapore that hasn't changed. and it's more along pretty well so we'll see what happens. with or without the u.s. the leaders of the two koreas seem eager to hold tight to their warming relations. let's go to correspondent jason strother who's following the story for us from seoul cities in the summit would be a major political win for trump a why is it also so important to kim's and unwisely so as he allegedly has fixed on. well for the north korean leader it means a lot i mean first sanctions relief the north has been hit with heavy embargoes because of its nuclear and missile program and they want relief but perhaps an even bigger reason why the kim would want to meet with president trump is for recognition more symbolic to hold talks with the american president means that he's

on a somewhat low footing and there's nothing more than north korea there's nothing more than north korea wants them to be recognized as a world power and having a one on one summit with donald trump is certainly one way that kim sees you can achieve that status so this has been on again off again unless i get on again again what do you make of moon's commas this time specifically relaying kim's message or you know moon has been the facilitator all along it was him that encouraged north korea to participate in the pyongyang winter olympics earlier this year he held his own summit. now two summits first in april and now again this weekend with kim and he's the one who's tried to convince both donald trump and kim jong un that either man is ready to speak and willing to speak with one another so you know i think it

came as a complete shock to moon earlier this week when when donald trump called off the summit and i think this meeting with kim over the weekend was a way to again try to reconcile to salvage those negotiations and now the fact that trump says the summit is back on on june twelfth in singapore has to be good news the south korean president right now the north korean leader says that he is committed to this complete to nuclearization of the korean peninsula which is obviously something the u.s. has been pushing for what can we expect from the june twelfth meeting if that actually happens. well i mean i think the wording is very curious here maya north korea via president moon north korea says it's committed to the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula but realistically speaking the only part of the peninsula that has nuclear weapons is north korea so we have to wonder what does john young mean by the entire peninsula there's been that could that mean that

john young once south korea taking out taken out of the u.s. nuclear umbrella north korea has also insinuated over the years that that the u.s. secretly stations nuclear warheads here in the south so this could be a potential stumbling block leading up to the potential summit and even during the summit jason strother and so thank you very much thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world in ireland pro-choice supporters have welcomed the landslide vote in favor of liberalizing the country's restrictive abortion law the referendum on repealing the country's eighth amendment passed by a margin of two to one far higher than any opinion poll had predicted once parliament passes a new abortion law irish woman will no longer have to travel abroad to seek an abortion. at least twenty two people died in northern uganda when a bus hit a tractor and their truck in succession red cross puts the number of casualties

much higher it was one of the deadliest recent accidents in uganda the country has a dismal record and road safety. thousands of demonstrators have marched in cities across france to protest president emanuel across reformist economic policy as the demonstrations were organized by labor unions and the political left but whereas previous demonstrations have drawn hundreds of thousands this time official numbers were much lower. they came from more than eighty different organizations united by opposition to emanuel mccomb for the organized the c g t trade union the main grievance is the government led overhaul of labor rules the union says the reforms would recuse worker protections. the measure we need is what most citizens in this country go through meeting difficulties of making ends meet finding work getting a spot at university paying into their pensions mr mark doesn't know much about

that stuff that's not his life. in paris or sorties mobilized more than fifteen hundred police officers to prevent activists from disrupting the protests and causing damage several people were detained on the sidelines including a group trying to destroy a bank. but the march itself was for the most part peaceful the trade unions the same icons reforms will hurt public services and they see his economic. policies as brutal and unbalanced protesters from other groups also took part they will see michael's policies as favoring the rich. people all we have to show mccrone that people don't want his policies they are first and foremost for the wealthy and there's nothing for the poor or this is serious. we've mobilized against micron's policies to advocate for a different distribution of wealth their government is at the services of the rich . recent protests have drawn huge numbers in march more than three hundred thousand

demonstrated nationwide organizers had hoped the protests would grow into a groundswell of opposition to michael but the turnout this time around was significantly lower only some twenty thousand people took to the streets of paris according to police organizers claim it was four times that. verges for three on a trade have been crowned european champions for a third consecutive year after defeating the ripple three one in the champions league final in kiev and joining me in the studio to discuss what a dramatic night of football this was across harrington from our devious force department so that was well what a night around madrid yes it was a magnificent night for football you know real madrid making history wrapping up their third consecutive champions league accomplishment their silverware and you know there's a tradition in madrid where we are with dread when this all the fans converge to the city center and they celebrate in the strange thing is i'm sure all of these fans were in the exact same spot last year and the year before that you know but

all in all you know you have to congratulate and feel good for all the celebrating the one piece of silverware real madrid walked away with this season and my we have a report we should take a look at right now. liverpool started on the front first but after thirty minutes disaster struck starman mohamed salah tussled with said he ramos and was forced off with a shoulder injury after the break a lapse in concentration from one of his copy of skills did karim benzema the opener but around the trade weren't celebrating for too long as liverpool hit back four minutes later sunday or monday levelled the scores won all but then gareth bale came off the bench to produce perhaps the goal of the season his spectacular overhead kick giving madrid a two one lead after sixty four minutes fails long range hits slipped through his fingers and finalized you're going plops second defeat in a champions league final. three one the final score ramage read revelling in

liverpool's heartbreak as they celebrated their thirteenth champions league title. alex like an intense game but in the end they did it again and this is their third champions league title in a row have they become basically unbeatable at this point i think you have to look at it that way maya because it was a difference of mentality you know they had the experience on their shoulders coming into the match and i didn't call it a cracker and i expected to see one thing in particular a magical moment and it was gareth bale a super substitute who came off the sideline to deliver not one but two goals in one goal his bicycle kick arguably the best goal in champions league history he had comments after that magnificent feat. they have a clip from him i think we have a sound from gareth bale. between come true and.

wanted to do. very close. in such a. you know liverpool had bad luck early on with their star salad going off but they also had to deal with some goalkeeper mistakes as well which one was more decisive in your mind i think get a look at the defense defense wins championships liverpool did rebound you know through sunday you know equalizing it one point in the match but it comes down to defense when you can see two goals the way lord's kerio did it's tough on the result of any match your good close up shared his thoughts on that performance kind of a harsh challenge because we always say that it's like wrestling a little bit most unlucky then that more fall on his shoulder and it's a serious injury that's even burrows so really serious and three and. the other the size of moments of gold were quite. strange.

but oh it is all because all the old results revolve around the trip and that's. why we are not in the best mode of history. so this is another defeat world cup defeat for. champions league defeat for your club cursed or is he just not up to the task at this point no i think you can't really you know put the blame where you're going cluck you know obviously liverpool are in the market for a new goalkeeper after lord's areas of performance but your quote motivates he's a motivator and he did that obviously you saw that with the one goal the scored so i think he'd still has some life to live in major competitions i think he will be back no doubt all right chris so we were sitting in these exact seats yesterday were you made a prediction yeah i'm thinking i should name change my name to the amazing kreskin the way i call the outcome let's take a look cute game coming up everyone's watching soccer knockout for us who do you think is going to be a myself clear but i would do well i will give most solid company a benefit of the doubt i do think they will score

a goal but not enough i'm calling the final three one rionda driv. i guess is focused on her as harrington soccer vegetarian eggs are out as of the studio. and a reminder of our top story that we're following for you north korean leader kim jong il and says he is committed to holding a summit with us present donald trump next month the remarks came during a surprise meeting with south korean president cheney and trump canceled the summit on thursday but now says it may still take place on june twelfth. and real madrid have won the champions league trophy for the third straight year these spanish football giants defeated liverpool three one in saturday and saturday night's final in kiev. don't forget you can always get the news on the go to sit down load our app from google play or from the apple store that will give you access to all the latest news and information from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use the d. w. app to send us your photos and videos. your watching d.w.
