just eleven days time on june twelfth trump earlier had canceled the summit which is intended to denuclearize north korea he canceled it citing belligerent rhetoric coming from the hermit nation where trump spent the last few hours today meeting with a senior at north korean on boy who has now left the white house kim young is the highest reading 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. and this is the latest twist in a diplomatic drama that has played out over twitter and on television praise 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 and so you know it will be

a beginning i don't say and i have never said it happens in one meeting you talking about years of hostility here's a problem. here's a really hatred between so many different nations but i think you can have a very positive result in the end from one meeting. are not from one medium that we're hearing that for the first time there from the u.s. president let's take this now to the white house our alexandra phenomena is standing by for us good afternoon to you alexandra so how did they end up agreeing again on the summit and on singapore for june twelfth. well apparently the conversation the us presidents have with this high level north korean invoice in the oval office and the developments in the last weeks and days has convinced trom to say yes let's. schedule summit in singapore back on he said that it was a good meeting that the relations are building and that that is very positive and

he also said that that it was the thought of getting to know each other that they talked about almost everything and that he believed if he knew that's the way how he put it that the north korean regime is really really wants to get rid of its nuclear weapons but that is of course something that the north korean have to prove first and he also said that he believes stats the summit in singapore would be the first meeting a starting point of a longer process you know it's interesting we're hearing terms like longer process isn't it we know that the biggest stumbling block to this summit has been the pace of denuclearization so what impact would you see today's talks what impact do they have on that issue. well we know that this north korean envoy. is

a very experienced negotiator and verse on the issue of the next that was asian and we can assume that they talk about it but of course we don't know whether at the north koreans are really willing to offer any concessions to the yes hat of the planned summit and seeing the poor at the moment it's rather seems like the president the u.s. president really wants to have this summit. and alexander what does this mysterious letter that was delivered to drop today from kim jong un do we know what's inside. well the president said that. for an interesting and nice letter and he says the white house press secretary said later it's sad that the president has read this. and it is reportedly based the that there are reports saying that. it's expressing his willingness to

meet this letter and nothing more but that's of course. you ask presidents to publish this if you would like to do it. right our white house correspondent washington bureau chief alexander phenomena on the story for us tonight alexandra thank you very much. well these save the children charity has released its end of childhood report it examines the causes of childhood abuse and suffering around the world including being denied education being forced into early marriage and giving birth early in life nigeria rings near the bottom of the countries surveyed our correspondent adrian crease so this is this report from mother gury where he met a young mother at a refugee camp. despite forty degree heat in the shade how well mussa needs to get water. she's only sixteen it is responsible for her

family. after how was village was attacked by the jihadist militant organization boko haram four years ago she has been living in a refugee camp in the state capital of might agree. it's not easy to get water. and there isn't enough to eat either. at the moment i can't cook at home we don't have anything. there are lots of problems. you know. her two children are waiting for her back home her thirty year old husband as well. they share a modest room back in their village. was a farmer and ran a small store but in the camp there was no chance of finding work they were dependent on relief supplies. he how a married in the camp she was thirteen at the time. shortly after she fell pregnant

. that is utterly normal. some families have too many girls already. so they want to marry them off early so that a man can look after them when this was the case with her and this way the family can make sure that she doesn't sleep with anyone before she gets married a. man went to school for two years his wife never attended school. how am i supposed to enjoy my life here we barely have enough money to live from. other girls who went to school. to. independence a life of her own that is something that how one never experienced instead of going

to school this young mothers consigned to sewing hats and her few moments of free time in the hope of earning at least a pittance. as a development worker she has seen many such cases and says there is a simple solution i think my education that's why i'm competing on the education. like it can also buy them examples by myself because they would like it a new for them to become like me supporting other young girls in this society enough to that since in creating awareness. which can really help. and the government can come in to help. but borno state in nigeria is predominantly muslim and such ideas are not well received especially as elections are coming up next year. the governor of the state recently threatened parents who want to marry off their underage children with prosecution he was however not available for an

interview to explain which concrete steps he wants to take nigeria already signed and the child rights act fifteen years ago which sets the minimum age for marriage is at eighteen years the state here however never implemented that. back in the refugee camp how knows it will be difficult for her to ever attend school but she will do all she can to ensure that her sons. will have that opportunity. well it has been a day of political change and challenges for europe a skeptic government taking charge of italy a prime minister voted in spain and later in tonight's business update will look at the opening salvos of a trade war between the e.u. and the united states we're going to start tonight though in italy which has a new government at last the president has sworn in prime minister she said because

his cabinet after a turbulent week of political drama and financial turmoil sparked by fears that the populist coalition now in power 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 lead 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 bini. 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 for the new minister for european affairs paolo savona 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 you know matter and to veto the coalition's first attempt to form

a government. and. it's not true that they want to distance us from europe. i think they want to fundamentally reshape europe. think they've made promises that they won't keep. what chaos i hope they really are united. paolo gentil only 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 had 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 you saw an employment. under finance education system that doesn't work really for the modern world you have a health system that's not functional you have it there are crowding jungle in the country you have corruption you have organized crime already 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 both of 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. in this in 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 matthew 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 so forth 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 and 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 after out against migrants he can sort of poison the public atmosphere because italy so far was relatively left of the 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 the wall and all right a corresponding story for us tonight in rome or brazil always thank you. well now

to another key member of the european union spain's prime minister mariano rajoy has been removed after losing a no confidence vote in parliament today 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 sanchez whose party called for the vote after members of roy's a center right party were linked to a corruption scandal. he is the man of the hour paper sanchez has achieved his goal of ousting his old home arianna. the socialist opposition leader was a driving full was in the campaign to oust him. are you ready to resign here today he resigned today and leave by your own will and it will all end here if. it finally came to an end for hoyer and now sanchez said 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 a bitter standoff with the highest peoples party sanchez made a comeback in two thousand and seventeen determined to challenge her high over the major corruption scandal within his conservative party his time in office is likely to be turbulent as he works through a new political landscape in spain. the internet is not only i am aware of the responsibility that i'm taking on during such a complex moment in the politics of our country that is what i can say is that besides being aware that i'm going to tackle all the challenges that our country faces with humility and give it my all to modernize our country. but. now he says he'll lead differently with the socialist tarion and europe friendly government all policies his supporters are looking forward to.

i'm so happy. because we've thrown the mafia out of government. they have stolen it from the spanish people for thirty. five norway. i hope the new government progresses i'm from podium and i'm so glad so you couric forty. we had to do something we couldn't continue like the. changes may come very soon son just could be sworn in by spain's king felipe of the sixth as early as saturday and will appoint his cabin and over the coming days. for the week it has been spain and italy two of europe's problems right now there is a third hole and is here to talk about that we've been talking about that all week to the trade terrorists from the us absolutely about being the third out into the tree on the writ of terrorists keeping the european union awake at night while france's presence money will not call he's furious he's called those tariffs and

legal the e.u. trade commissioner to city among them say europe will not take washington's actions lying down a violin to challenge the tariffs in a case at the world trade organization in the u.s. government when it certainly didn't waste a moment in following through on its threats. they began this morning at six am central european time twenty five percent import tariffs on steel ten percent on aluminum the european reaction is clear. it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations and it also increases the risk of severe turbulence is in the markets globally protectionism can never be a solution and this will hurt jobs here in the european union but also in the u.s. the e.u. has launched an official complaint at the world trade organization. they want to introduce countermeasures like tariffs on u.s.

products for example bourbon whiskey motorcycles and jeans worth some two point eight billion euros e.u. member states are meeting next week to decide on the exact list many economists agree with the measure europe as a very big economy and a very important market for u.s. products has a lot of influence that's why it's right to show the u.s. that they can't just do whatever they want the e.u. must use countermeasures to steer the process in the right direction. but it's those who are affected most who are speaking out against new e.u. care of sun u.s. products or taking other measures the german steel association fears that it could lead to even more trade barriers and further economic damage. well for more on this we're joined by our correspondent teri schultz ate at brussels now terry of a new trade commission to see a bunch of them has said that when it comes to america first it will be met with europe united when it will the bloke now be in agreement as to how to respond.

so far it looks like it will be helena you know some of these measures were already teed up before today in the expectation that trump would follow through on these threats as we know the complaint has been lodged at the w t o already and the lists have already been drawn up of the u.s. products that will be targeted and all this left now is for member states to agree on which one of them will be one of them which ones of them will be selected for the important duties and so there could be some differences of opinion and we've seen a reaction that ranges from very strong from france for example to a bit muted from germany but so far nobody is suggesting that these import duties should go unchallenged by the european union now one thing. in the united states can agree on is china and we understand that the e.u. is lodged a complaint against china the world trade organization as well tell us more about

that. it was interesting because the chinese foreign minister was actually here today holding talks with european union officials so he was meeting with federica mcgreevy and other high level leaders while syria monster was preparing her speech explaining why the e.u. is taking china to the w t o so this may be a chance for the e.u. to show that it is not against the united states said in fact that you wanted to show that it doesn't take sides when it feels that the global trade rules are being threatened are being are not being followed so the case with china today is that it is has been foreseen european union companies to share technology in exchange for doing business in china to sometimes even share ownership of the companies and says this simply can't go on and so at the same time as as china and the e.u. are on the same side when it comes to opposing the steel tariffs the e.u. has sided with the u.s.

which has long had complaints about international property intellectual property theft by china. and in brussels for us this evening thank you time to get the view stateside all financial correspondent so if you should man ski is standing by sophie trungpa said in a policy that trade was a good easy to win to investors that feel the same all they atoll rattled by the european union's a vowel to fight back. yeah there definitely are and i mean from his moves have caused a lot of resistance and criticism both from allies and rivals and there's also disappointment from companies or sectors that are intended to help with these terrors so for example the other many i'm associated in representing produces like a company alcoa and the c.e.o. of the group said they were disappointed by the tariff expansion because the real

problem would be over capacity in china but these terrorists would do little to fight these imports also can make us rely on metal imports because there's simply not enough domestic supply so members of the pen manufacture of insecurity have also applied for its cruises from the terrace and then the canned food maker temple food said that it expects double digit increases on steel and aluminum prices with the higher costs weighing on profit margins boeing and caterpillar the kinds of comments about their stocks are down so i guess it's really not too far fetched to say they're not big fans of these terrorists say fisherman's cue for us in new york thank you very much now lions and tigers and bears oh my it's over to grant now dorothy no no not in terms of city more. like tell of the year we're in germany where severe storms have been causing flash flooding in parts of the

country in the west especially there's been some dramatic scenes and that brings us to those lions and tigers and bears and once found it was reported that several big cats had escaped from the zoo and people feared becoming a cats dinner but mostly the flooding alone has been dramatic enough. it's dark and pouring rain you're awoken from sleep and decide to go take a look and this is what you see outside your door. an incredible sight. at least on xbox near the french border witnesses say the water came from all directions until it displaced cars and tore pavements apart town officials were stunned. first i'm going to see what happened i mean what else can i do but. the eiffel mountains were also hit by thunderstorms and floods and around noon at the eiffel's zulu it seemed that lions tigers a jaguar and

a bear had escaped from their cages residents were warned hunters set out and when they found the bear they were forced to act. but. unfortunately the bear had to be shot because there was considerable danger for the people nearby the search for the other animals lasted hours until it was discovered they had left at all but had taken refuge in their own enclosures. and not far from the the big thunderstorm caused even more chaos a train derailed after coming out of a tunnel and hitting a mound of mud on the tracks fortunately there were no passengers on board and no one was hurt. are the first games of a six of the french open have kept fans on the edge of their seats number two seed carlene. is also in round four the dane beat holy horror in here in just over an hour and is on course to win her second grand slam of the year men's number two seed alexander very have survived the second successive french open skier he fought
