this is. an on off and back on again u.s. president says the singapore summit with north korea's leader will take place on june twelfth as originally planned well that announcement comes after a high level north korean envoy held talks with trump at the white house says he looks forward to the day when he will be able to lift sanctions on north korea we'll take you live to the white house for more also coming up political change in southern european capitals today in italy the new prime minister. and his cabinet

have been sworn in by the country's new government has a markedly your word skeptic stance we'll go live to rome and ask what this could mean for the european union and in spain lawmakers remove the prime minister. a no confidence vote it was triggered by a corruption scandal in conservative party the socialist. is said to be the new man. it's good to have you with us it is back on again u.s. president donald trump says that he will meet north korean leader kim jong un in just eleven days time on june twelfth earlier canceled that summit intended to denuclearize north korea after what he called belligerent rhetoric coming out. out

of the hermit kingdom where trump spent the last few hours today meeting with a senior north korean on board he has now left the white house kim jong told is the highest ranking figure from north korea to come to the white house in nearly twenty years he delivered a personal letter from kim to trump as part of efforts to get the summit back on track. well this is the latest twist in a diplomatic drama that's played out over twitter and on television trump praised the role of china's president in pushing the summit for. i think you see a lot of very positive things happening with president xi. me quite a bit with this so we'll see where it leads but we're going to be june twelfth will be in singapore it will be a beginning i don't say and i've never said it happens at one meeting you talking about years of hostility years of probably. years really hatred between so many different nations but i think you can have a very positive result in the end from one meeting with. others u.s.

president although trump there let's go now to the white house our alexander phenomena standing by good afternoon to you alexander so how did this happen how did we end up getting this singapore summit back on schedule. well apparently the president was convinced by this meeting with this senior north korean official that it's worth taking the chance and meeting with kim jong in singapore so this was a major news coming out of this meeting today with the president saying that we are going to be in singapore he also said that it was a great meeting a sort of getting to know each other that they talk about many different topics about everything as he said not that both human rights abuses in north korea however he had to admit that he also said that he is convinced that the north korean regime really wants to get rid of its nuclear weapons but that's of course

something that we have to see and he also added that it could be only the first of many a number of meetings to follow and that we shouldn't expect anything to be signed during this meeting in the course that is an interesting development is an alexander that the u.s. president is now saying that this could be the first of many meetings if he wants to indeed get denuclearization to take place what else did the on board and mr truong discuss do we know. well we don't know about the certain topics we know that the north korean envoy is very versed on there is asian so they talked about it's but we don't have any indication that north korea is really willing to give to us and the concessions they had of this meeting it seems

that the u.s. president is willing to meet the north korean dictator who about having and they think he even said that he didn't open the letter from king john yet. ok so we don't know if he has read that letter what about the envoy who was at the white house today kim yong shoal what do we know about him. he is a former spy a former military intelligence chief and currently he is serving as a vice chairman of north korea's workers parties a central committee and in this position he's stealing with inter korean a first he's someone who has been deeply involved in. recent. to the us and to south korea who has accompanied him to difference meetings with south korean officials of course with the chinese president but he is also

a very controversial figure because he was had of this intelligence agency accused of being behind two attacks one cyber attack on sony and one attack against south korean naval vessel that killed almost fifty south koreans and that's why he is actually under u.s. sanctions. or the corresponding always under phenomena at the white house force. thank you. well the european union has seen a day of changes and some would say challenges with a euro skeptic government taking charge in italy and political instability in spain the president of italy has sworn in prime minister big kong today and his cabinet it follows a turbulent week of political drama and financial turmoil sparked by fears that the populous coalition wants to leave the euro zone. in the end it all happened quickly

the cabinet of italy's new government has not been sworn in the coalition of the far right league and populist five star movement is led by prime minister giuseppe conte who is not affiliated to a political party one of his deputies is legally. i swear to be faithful to the republic to loyally observe its constitution and laws and to exercise my functions in the exclusive interest of the nation. but of the new minister for european a fat as paulose of owner is a staunch critic of the euro and of germany and has described the common currency as a german cage it was his proposed appointment as finance minister that led president said joe matter and to veto the coalition's first attempt to form a government. and to be able it's not true that they want to distance us from europe. i think they want to fundamentally reshape europe on the mentality that. i

think they've made promises that they won't keep. what chaos i hope they really are united. paolo gentil loney is now handing over official g.t.s. to his successor contained in the coming week the chamber of deputies and the senate are expected to prospects of confidence in the new government. and our correspondent barbara visual is on the story for us from the italian capital good evening to you barbara so we end the week with the two parties in power who at the beginning of the week had collapsed what are we looking at in terms of domestic challenges that are facing this coalition and i dare say a coalition of novices. where to start really brant because it's really has a sea of troubles consistently high unemployment in the south their regions was fifty percent youth unemployment is it an under finance education system that

doesn't work really for the modern world you have an health system that's not functional you have a very crowded jungle in the country you have corruption you have organized crime or the good old the mafia you have just everything that is dysfunctional and public services and so the government basically would have had its work cut out however we haven't yet seen a plan which one of these areas they want to tackle and particularly how they want to do this and barbara we know that bowes these coalition parties these populist parties they made a big deal about the migration crisis in their campaign so what can we expect now in terms of policy. and this this particular issue is really the only that is pushing the still of the five star movement to the right because the five star is that sort of like a rag bag mix of all sorts of leftist and anarchist and whatever sort of

independent independent movements but the lay guy is really a fighting force of hard right hard right political movement and particularly to you salvini the leader of the labor is going to push this government to the right is much as he can he promised that he would raise the roma camps around the italian capital he was fantasizing about segregating train carriages on the racially i mean on the metro in milano he says that he wants to spend five billion that the country uses to sort of co-housing and take care of migrants for other purposes and so on and to force he really wants to make people's life hell here and he also said that he wanted to deport half a million of those migrants back to their home countries so that's the whole intention off of what he wants to do as interior minister yeah exactly and in terms

of having a plan it sounds like he does have a plan the question is will he be able to follow through on any of these ideas. it within the country he can do a lot you know he can set the police up by out against migrants he can sort of poison the public atmosphere because italy so far was relatively left tolerant and less if it were to these people he can really make their life hell he can put them in camps i mean there are many possibilities what is really difficult however is to take them out of the countries he can't just collect two hundred fifty nigerians and send them back to lagos we know that is not working so with that particular thing he is probably going to run up against of all the right of a responsible provisional story force tonight in rome or brazil always thank you. in the spain another key member of the european union prime minister mariano rajoy has been removed after losing a new confidence vote in parliament admitting defeat just ahead of the vote mr roy

said that it had been an honor to lead his country he'll be replaced by socialist leader pedro son jets whose party called the vote after members of roy's a center right party were linked to a corruption scandal. he is the man of the hour pedro sanchez has achieved his goal of ousting his old foe marianna. the socialist opposition leader was a driving full was in the campaign to oust him. so he quickly needed are you ready to resign here today he resigned today and leave by your own will and it will all in here if. it finally came to an end and now sanchez is set to become spain's new prime minister from economics professor to governing the country some just journey to the top has been extraordinary twice he suffered humbling defeats in national elections while opposition leader in two thousand and fifteen and sixteen he was forced to resign after
