briefing with the secretary said pompei oh she joins us now live from singapore good to have you with us alexander want to address that all important issue of denuclearization in a second but first things first of elements moving very fast where you are trump well now meets one on one with kim. yes that's true this remarkable announcement was made by the wife was only a few hours ago they say that that discussions between the your ass and north korea have morphed more quickly than expected and that is considered a very remarkable a very positive sign seoul and now the u.s. president is scheduled to meet with keen to have an one on one meeting with him and only the translators will be present at this meeting as you know the u.s. president is confident that he will know within minutes if kim is really serious

about it and the clue is asian. sure that he is the master deal maker who can close the deal with kim jones experts however here in the united states are quite skeptical they are warranted that president for kim too much in this first personal encounter as he is very eager to make this summit a success so what can we read into this exam or does this mean that the north korean leader is not prepared to unequivocally discuss denuclearization. what's that sticky issue it's been the key issue in the past and we have to say we know what the administration understands next there is a sion and that means that they expect north korea to give up all its nuclear weapons but of course that is not what the north koreans normally would say they

are understand the nuclear ization because they are understanding gate a much beyond that they are referring to what they call america's capability to attack north korea with nuclear weapons and said to its protection for japan and south korea so they are thinking about nuclear weapons in the whole region now the other party alexandra with a lot of skin in the game is south korea so much at stake for them if the summit goes badly what does it mean for them. well we have to say that it was the south korean president in the first plane who made it possible because he started this talks with north korea he was a kind of a messenger between north korea and the you ass and that there is a lot of stake for for the south korean for people there who have lift theory and lived fearing that any time north korea can attack them not with nuclear weapons

before donald trump withdrew his support for the g seven is joined statement on international trade and it seems that decision has changed everything. in an unusual move chancellor merkel used to german political talk show to vent her frustration at the way things turned out. i worked hard for a compromise and he struggled with it for a long time and then afterwards there was drawn so to speak via tweets is of course sobering and a bit depressing. and all. despite trump's threats of reprisals the chancellor didn't hold back on why germany and the e.u. should apply retaliatory tariffs. so much. we have prepared our countermeasures against the tariffs that the us president placed an alum in human

steel which we consider unlawful under the terms of the w.t.r. . we're not going to let ourselves be taken for a ride we're also going to act. and want defending the g seven the german leader also took the opportunity to call for a more united europe we have to ask ourselves where we can act on line that of course means new responsibilities for europe and it especially means that we in europe need to be loyal to ourselves angular merkel has never had the easiest of relations with donald trump his decision to disrupt the g seven will only have made things worse. to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. at least thirty four people have been killed in attacks across afghanistan health officials say at least thirteen were killed by a suicide bomber outside
