biala gassed trends. managed by from. business news life from birth lay donald trump alles the outcome of his summit with change on. the pedestal does not have to define the future yesterday's conflict is not about to be tomorrow's war. and as history has proven over and over again and i've been assured security become friends. jim and trumpet have both

left singapore after signing a joint agreement they pledged to denuclearize the korean peninsula. also coming up flaring tensions the french president emanuel not bonds announces italy over a rescue ship has left adrift in the mediterranean to more than six hundred stranded migrants now heading to spain after it stepped in and offered refuge. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program they came they shook hands they made history and now the hard 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 does not specify a timeline or a deadline for to get rid of nuclear weapons north korea's human rights record also

didn't feature in the final statement but the impact of the summit still to be determined both leaders seemed keen to put the past behind them. it's a 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. expected. 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 in the idea that. we have developed a very special bond show. 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 or unless and until we see the the future negotiation is not going away 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 on the details of the declaration next week. some of talk more about this now with lisa collins who is standing by washington she is a fellow at the center for strategic and international studies and an expert on korea thank you so much for joining us this evening. thank you for having me here in the least if you followed the summit closely this joint statement has been criticized as being too light on detail what do you think. so i would agree with stayman i do believe the four points that were mentioned in the joint statement one. of the korean peninsula one on u.s. and north korea forming a new relationship one on finding the remains of old prisoners of war in north korea and repatriating them to the united states and another talking about other

significant options i think that these are things that have been mentioned before in previous declarations and previous agreements that we've had with the north koreans but it's lacking in some specificity especially when we talk about denuclearization and verification of the dismantlement of north korea's nuclear weapons program there's no mention of how that process would have been how long it would take who would be involved in those i think are very significant details that have been left out of this statement so far absolutely president basically underscoring and saying that he trusts the north korean leader to do he also made a very major concession in. committing to seizing those military exercises that the u.s. conducts with critics saying he got nothing tangible return and i'd just like to ask you because you know up until now the strategy of previous leaders simply

hasn't worked so why not try this approach. well i don't think there's anything wrong with trying a different approach and i think that we've seen that up and to this point we've seen a rapid fire succession of. it with the north koreans and they have produced a you know a more quick timeline in terms of diplomacy what i think is concerning particularly with regard to the the announcement that unilaterally united states would be suspending u.s. south korean military exercises one i don't think there was any discussion with our allies south korea and japan before the announcement was made and to the u.s. military u.s. military exercises should not necessarily be a political pawn in negotiations with north korea they are to prepare readiness and deterrence against the north korean threat and to make sure that the north koreans do not harm the allies in the region south korea and japan and so to have them put

on the table as a concession by trump i think is very much undermining the security alliance system within asia. there was also no mention of north korea's record on human rights torture or south of issues what do you think about tells us. well i mean there was a very shortened timeline again for the for negotiating the summit and so that may have been one of the reasons why as a main topic but i think many people believe that human rights the issue is very important so fundamental in fact that it should be continually brought up with the north koreans in negotiations president tom said he mentioned it to kim jong un in private discussions i hope that in following up secretary of state pump aoe and the north korean officials will talk about it in follow up negotiations i think that we should continue to remind people that north korea is a state that still holds about one hundred twenty thousand people imprisoned in

prison camps within the country and that's something that they have to rectify before they join the international community a lot of work to be done perhaps an understatement there lisa collins with the latest from washington as we mentioned you're a fellow at the center for strategic and international studies and an expert on korea and we thank you so much for joining us to share your expertise. thank you. reaction to the summit around the world has generally been favorable if sometimes cautious as we just heard there many leaders are hedging their bets until something more concrete emerges from further talks between the two sides that was a handshake is may met another during the negotiations and another after they signed a joint statement just watch that declaration is worth in the long term is the question being discussed around the world japan's prime minister sounded an optimistic note. i believe that would be the first step in solving the problems

with north korea. but we must. the european union also welcome to meeting as a sign of progress. today a summit between the two groups that diplomacy and dialogue are the only way forward but others urged caution us democrats warned that the deal lacked concrete details and the message from german politicians was wait and see. does not take international agreements and contracts seriously he shows a wild disregard for global political norms but socially it still the opportunities seem to i weigh the risks in many eyes above all inside korea a country still formally at war with the north. sea it's wonderful amazing i'm so happy about this agreement that seventy years of war is nothing next to the five hundred years of peace we had before reunification is coming that's for sure.

their hopes are high after the excitement of the summit but they know the devil is in the details and the long negotiations ahead could still come to nothing. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world judges that the international criminal court has ordered the release of the former congolese vice president john pierre bemba the ruling comes after an appeals court overturned his convictions for war crimes committed in two thousand and two and two thousand and three he has been imprisoned since his arrest ten years ago. at least twelve people including two rohingya muslims have been killed in southeast bangladesh after heavy rains triggered landslides international aid agencies are warning that there is a risk that water borne disease will break out makeshift camps house nearly a million broke into who have fled a military crackdown in neighboring meon mar. what is in a name a whole lot if you ask greece and macedonia these two countries have now resolved

a dispute that has been blocking the former yugoslav republic from joining nato and applying for a u. membership this evening the macedonian prime minister is are on zaba have announced that from now on his country would be known as the republic of north macedonia his counterpart in athens alexis tsipras presented the deal to greece's president athens had long objected to the name macedonia because it is also the name of a greek province greece is now expected to drop its opposition to north macedonia becoming a nato member and beginning the process of joining the e.u. . the french president emmanuel mccrone has denounced italy's refusals to take in more than six hundred migrants stranded aboard a rescue ship in the mediterranean president mccrone accuse the italian government of quote cynicism and said that it had an obligation under international law italy has sent ships to help transport to the migrants to spain which has offered them

refuge the french island of corsica has also offered to take the men. after more than two days a stop to see the six hundred twenty nine migrants on board of the rescue ship. are finally heading to a safe haven european n.g.o.s u.s. military rescued them off the libyan coast on saturday night among them unaccompanied 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. this standoff is a 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.

for a gesture of solidarity from europe. 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 with except our invitation. to. the n.g.o.s that run the aquarium or in a journey to spain will extend the migrants and put vulnerable people at risk it will take the migrants three to four days to reach the designated port. where they finally hope to touch land. deutsche avella has presented the iranian political scientists. excuse me with its freedom of speech award in an interview with deb used to be column openly criticized the tehran government and was sentenced to eighteen months in prison. its bonds headquarters director general
