exercises with the south also coming up on the program french president emmanuel mccombs announces italy over any rescue ship left addressed in the mediterranean the more than six hundred student migrants now heading to spain after it stepped up an offer to help mccormack using the italian government of breaking international rules. little rock it's great to have your company everyone they came they shook hands they made history and now the heart part begins donald trump and kim jong un wrapped up their unprecedented summit in singapore with a joint declaration pledging to denuclearize the korean peninsula but the document doesn't specify a timeline or a deadline for pyongyang to get rid of nuclear weapons north korea's human rights

record also didn't feature in the final statement with the impact of the summit still to be determined both leaders seemed keen to let bygones bygones be. it's the moment many doubted would happen u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un signed a joint declaration which commits pyongyang to the complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula the highly anticipated summit in singapore hailed a success by the leaders. spent. today we had a historic meeting and decided to leave the past behind us were about to sign a historic document the world will see a major change. given that. we have developed a very special bond so. people are going to be very impressed people are going to

be very happy and we're going to take care of a very big and very dangerous problem for the world that problem nuclear weapons in the agreement north korea has pledged to dismantle its nuclear arsenal but critics say the declaration fails to provide concrete steps as to how that will be achieved and verified. and has reneged on such promises in the past. trump is confident that this time will be different he spoke of his special bond with kim and as with all friendships compromise must come from both sides directly after the summit trump announced washington would cease its joint military drills with south korea. we will be stopping the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of money on lassen until we see that the future negotiation is not going along like it should. it's a move that's seen as

a major concession by some but president trump headed back to washington proud of his achievements his team plans to begin working as this from the city state a good to see you alexander are not a lot of flesh on the bones of that final statement. yes that's true the agreement that was signed today promises a boldest change but it lacks the detail the details when you take for example the key issue did nuclearization now we're learning that scheme reaffirmed his commitments to complete that and that if there is a nation but what does it mean and what specific steps is he going to take and what is the timetable and is north korea going to declare all its weapons and how is do you as going to vary by what's happening on the ground so there are a lot of questions president trump said today it's not

a problem at all we there will be over meetings we are going to work on the details however he also said that he believes relying on the he's feeling on his instinct that kim really wants to get it done and that sounds a little bit and taking all of that into account i have to say that it seems that it is all too. no action but one co-create action that president trump did make is that concrete concession about those military exercises they have always been vexing for the north i mean it's just hard to overstate how big a concession this is what the states get in return for that. well actually it doesn't look as if they would be getting any thinking that would turn presidents trump was talking about it to do in his press conference he said to dad to you know this joint military drills were provoke ation that they were too

expensive anyway so indicating that it's ok to do it anymore and he also said that after signing this agreement one promise to destroy a missile test site in his country however we are no it's no right now we're going to be independent experts on the grounds to. verify that it's really happening we know that only a few weeks before the summit here in singapore the north koreans a promise to destroy and you cooler chest aside and they even invited to join a list to witness this event but after that happened reportedly happened u.s. secretary of state chris is that they were no experts on the ground so you know in closing the significant step of of course these two leaders meeting or talking

face to face what actually has changed. i think that's exactly has changed that we have both of them meeting talking that this is or could be the beginning of a longer process and that is of course a good thing we are not on the brink of. initialed war justin imagined we would have expected it to last two years so i think that's really a positive sign and is a good development that we had this summit here in singapore but of course now we have to see what it will be the ultimate outcome alexander fundamental reporting for in singapore thank you so much for your continued coverage. and world leaders have welcomed the summits outcome japan for example has long been exposed to the threat of north korea shortened mid range missiles here's how prime minister shinzo

ave reacted. i know mr snow cried i knew it did i welcome the u.s. north korea summit as a step forward towards a comprehensive resolution of the issues surrounding north korea because it confirmed leader kim jong un's will to commit to complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and in south korea president and moon j.n. has promised to write a new history with his country's northern neighbor he was full of praise for kim drew owns decision to go ahead with the summit and a statement released by his office president moon declared that leaving the dark days of war and conflict behind we will write a new chapter of peace and cooperation we bear together with north korea along the way. meanwhile in other news greece and macedonia have resolved a dispute that's been blocking the former yugoslav republic from joining nato and applying for membership while that problem was macedonia's name

a few moments ago macedonia prime ministers are on ziad announced that his country would henceforth be known as the republic of north macedonia while athens has long objected to the name macedonia because it is also the name of a greek province i want to bring up to speed now with some of the other headlines there from around the world. at least twelve people including two were hundred muslims have been killed in southeast bangladesh after heavy rains triggered landslides international aid agencies are warning there is a risk of waterborne diseases that will break out in the makeshift camps they house nearly a million were hinges who have fled the military crackdown in neighboring me and are. in volgograd russia living people were killed when the boat that they were on crashed into

accompanied minors and pregnant women. the ship was headed toward sicily but italian authorities refused entry as did malta. stuck on the high seas the migrants created a diplomatic storm until spain offered to take in the ship. the standoff is the result of a tougher stance on immigration under italy's new government something the european union will likely have to deal with increasingly in the months ahead. he asked for a gesture of solidarity from europe we asked europe to share the burden of the migration emergency. and not to leave us alone as has happened over the past few years this gesture goes in this direction therefore i can't do anything else than thank the spanish authorities and was accepted our invitation and i made a call to. the n.g.o.s that that run the acquirer has worn

a journey to spain will extend the migrants on the sea and put vulnerable people at risk it will take the migrants of three to four days to reach the designated port. where they finally hope to test land. at the ngo from the u.n. how this is all playing out. is in stroudsburg good to see you barbara elitist new government says oh i'm a collision course with the us seems how much is for domestic consumption and how much is this row forcing brussels hands to do something. both is true because of we see the new interior ministry officially salvini playing the strongman and telling people in italy that of course he's going to make true all his election campaign promises and those aware that he would keep migrants out of italy in the future on the other hand it is also

a signal to brussels very strong signal if i may say and a well deserved kick against the shins of the european union because they have the other member countries been kicking this particularly can down the road for years the italian government has asked again and again for help in sort of taking in migrants and dispersing them to other countries finding solution better border controls more money is cetera and nothing has happened so far and it seems asking nicely doesn't get you very far in the e.u. and now rome is acting and the e.u. will start to listen all right but what there's that mean because as you've been pointing out a lot of passing the buck and finger pointing going on among members states why is there not a single you white migration policy and do you think that this will now prompt them to come up with a migration effect of migration policy that's. that's the one million euro question of course this is civil war two countries have been working on for some years and

they have been saying simply just no consensus on anything people cannot member countries cannot agree as if you're talking about taking in migrants for instance some countries in eastern europe say no we will simply not take anybody we don't agree if you talk about better border controls some countries say we don't want a fortress europe and so on and so forth there was just no consensus on anything the european union does need a common asylum system to sort of level the the what migrants get in the country the conditions for them. so the asylum shopping within the european union will stop they do need better border controls they do need more ships they do need more a customs officers and so on and so force all this now really has to be brought about quickly otherwise you will be sailing into the next really big crisis i have a zero reporting from staff fork thank you very much and you're watching it every

day as we said a lot more to tell you about including then we'll take a look at the economic implications of the trump kim summit. and off the at the top the out. of school exercise book filled with stories of war atrocities written by brave people who want justice to you actually come in in the now this picture was taken in dong leaning in with. the furniture was shot we have proof what's going on in the central african republic.
