my knees were gone and i'm going to be done. this is you don't use light from girl and mixed messages from north korea well despite promises it seems they're building missiles again u.s. spy satellites are said to have spotted renewed activity at a missile sites well this just weeks after leader kim jong un said he would work toward denuclearization on the korean peninsula we'll have analysis also coming up surprise moons donald trump just days after exchanging bellicose threats with iran

says he's prepared to hold a summit with iranian president hassan rouhani and with no preconditions iran meanwhile are yaks cautiously to the surprise offer of the city the islamic state turned into a ghost town since you are in northern iraq was liberated three years ago but only a fraction of the u.c.d. minority once lived there now for eternity we have an exclusive report. it's good to have you with us everyone always start with developments from north korea which is reported to be working on new ballistic missiles the year washington post reports that the u.s. spy satellites have detected renewed activity at a site that has produced them in the past activity comes despite north korean

leader kim jong un's promise at a summit in singapore would donald trump to stop all missile and nuclear testing. on the surface relations between the u.s. and north korea have been warming earlier this week north korea return the remains of american soldiers sixty five years after the end of the korean war the gesture of peace came weeks after an historic summit the two countries agreed to work toward the quote total denuclearization of the korean peninsula a day later u.s. president donald trump declared that north korea was no longer a threat but now the washington post has published reports citing u.s. intelligence that get undermined the apparent diplomatic progress on the peninsula . according to the report this missile research facility and sunroom done north korea is being built up rather than torn down. neighbor north korea is on

alert hustling korean government is closely watching north korean movements and closely working with the united states however i hope you understand that we are not able to speak about intelligence reports. this on the heels of reports that north korea is continuing to enrich uranium in secret and critics say the trumpet ministration is being played by north korea last week u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or face criticism from within his own party. i am afraid there is this point the united states the trouble ministration is being taken for a ride you're not senator you're not. there is no doubt the u.s. intelligence community is watching north korea closely it is unclear however what progress has been made toward denuclearization since the trump him summit. all right and not like to welcome our brand or he is an asia analyst with the german council on foreign relations good to see you mr berger is america being taken for a ride not doing things that were i mean at the moment the consultations are

ongoing on the border when joe and they are at the moment trying to set up a framework for a process where they will actually make small steps which it sure will lead to to clear ideas what's going to happen with the missile poster article can the findings the intelligence leaks that the report is based on can these findings be corroborated in the bend of the independently verified well at this stage it's very difficult so far we don't know where north korea is i.c.b.m. the signs are coming from how much they have indigenous technologies etc so it's very way too to say that there's some certain technology being developed on this side what they can see is that something is happening but they're actually don't know what and i think the report by the washington post was also very wake about that. what's been the reaction from south korea because the two are koreas are

in this moment trying to intensify military cooperation so this must be set back well the interesting thing about this process is that the relations between the u.s. and north korea and the relations between the koreas have been divided there are two different processes running so that one doesn't affect the other so i think at the moment the relationship between the us and poles is ongoing they can. have small measures for for reproach months. and i think that's on a good track and has has so reacted i mean what what what are where how are the seeing this development where at this moment well those all three parties look at the larger process of setting up the peace process which involves security guarantees for north korea to nuclearization process and those reproach men between the two koreas so i think at this stage it's not so important what's happening in details and also there's no real agreement that these kind of activities should stop right now but. let's just take a big picture now wider perspective what this is mean for china japan how do they

feel about this well china has been sitting on the sides and always support the process the peace process between north korea and the u.s. and for them everything is a go going according to plan things of panvel of course complained about the missile technologies because they would be directly affected of the advances and missile technologies in north korea for the time being but i think on the whole all everyone has to wait what's coming out of the negotiations between the north korea and the u.s. of course you know we have that fresh in our minds that historic summit in singapore where a person in trump bridge in front of the entire world with a lot of confidence proclaimed that you know the nuclear threat that north korea poses that's gone you can all sleep safe and sound at night now if these intelligence leaks bear out. i mean has the risk of north korea

firing intercontinental missiles now have increased. you notice children don't we don't know what kind of technologies they have and the continental continental level and basically what they have agreed on and singapore is to set up a framework for future processes very of us very symbolic that's what they're actually doing that also in future agreements there will be of course clear steps about transparency and about verification and then the technologies need to defiant but this is not been agreed yet so is this is the problem after that summit there there was no nothing concrete on paper on the one hand yes on the other hand there was enough space and scope for both parties now to actually discuss a process and that no longer have to get to the table with absolute dumont's. which is a rigidly fail all right behrendt barrier analyst with the german council on foreign relations thank you so much and all trumps offer of talks with kim

jong un surprise the world well now he's done it again by offering to music iranian president hassan rouhani without preconditions but that's not a cool response from the islamic republic where the head of the strategic council on foreign relations said it saw no value in talks with the u.s. president secretary of state mike pompei o has also said he has no plans to meet iranian officials tehran and washington are at odds over the fate of the iran nuclear deal from which trump would droop earlier this year even by president chump standards the statement made it's a news conference with the italian prime minister plus surprising their quality of life the first time a u.s. president has offered to meet with an iranian leader since the flamage revolution nearly forty years ago. and i would certainly made with a read if they wanted to meet i don't know that they're ready yet to have a hard time right now. but i ended the iran deal it was

a ridiculous deal i do believe that they will probably end up wanting to meet and i'm ready to meet they want to and i don't do that from strength or from weakness i think it's an appropriate thing to do. this statement was all the more unexpected given the flare up of tension between tehran and washington over the last week on sunday the iranian president warned the u.s. to stop provoking his country. mr trump don't play with the lion scale this will only lead to regret for ever regret it. true to form from responded on twitter this time with an all caps to rate warning rouhani he would suffer the consequences the likes of which few throughout history to ever suffered before if he threaten the u.s. again ending the tweet with the words be cautious. the two sides began to escalate their rhetoric in may after trump withdrew from the landmark a cold and limiting to iran's nuclear program and in an initial response to trump's

new offer iran has stressed that there can be no dialogue unless the u.s. returns to this nuclear deal and suspends new sanctions. should u.s. secretary of state might also say that while he's on board with trump's initiative he thinks iran should change its behavior before any such talks take place. but as president trump said in monday's news conference his meeting with north korea's dictator also compounded expectations but in his words produce positive results so maybe the international community could be in for another surprise when it comes to iran. all right let's get you caught up now on the some of the other stories making news around the world. officials say a militant attack on a government building in the eastern afghan city of jalalabad has ended after five hours of intense fighting between suspected islamic gunman and security forces the

death toll has now risen to at least fifteen people no group has yet claimed responsibility malaysia's civil aviation chief has resigned after a report on missing flight m h three seventy showed failures in air traffic control it found controllers failed to put emergency procedures into action when the malaysia airlines plane vanished from the radar but investigators say they still don't know why the flight disappeared back in two thousand and fourteen with hundreds onboard. well turning now to or northern iraq which was liberated nearly three years ago from the so-called islamic state one has slipped through the region i asked targeted minorities like the cds who don't follow the islamic faith militants killed kidnapped and slave thousands of years edis and even now the group is still recovering from the genocide we're turning and starting afresh is a mammoth task very few people have tried to start

a new life in the region and its capital singe are or single as it is known in kurdish begin to show car travel there and brings us this exclusive report. she knows the capital of the years he dislikes in ruins devastated by invasion and the fight for liberation most people fled when so-called islamic state took the city and killed an enslaved thousands now that the islamists have been expelled only a few residents have returned in many parts feels like a ghost town to end of years after liberation from my ex only three thousand families have returned to a city which once had more than eighty thousand inhabitants. there still no sign of reconstruction there are no hospitals schools or functional administration he has hedy's living in xing gun hill abandoned by their politicians. the head of

we've got no electricity and the water is bad. there are bombs and mines all over the place. they have to clear them. they've now before you just can't live here there's no work so people aren't coming back. because the situation doesn't improve soon than we who have returned will leave again very soon got enough. stephanie yes wants to stay no matter what the twenty four year old studied to be a teacher but there are no schools so he opened up a glass workshop with a friend the problem is that nothing is being rebuilt which means even his business is struggling. people won't come back as long as there are so many different political groups here working only for themselves there are

thousand different groups and they're all only looking after their own interests. he means the different militias that are still active in the city they run their own checkpoints and have their own agendas all parties want influence here in the singe amounts being close to the syrian border the region is strategically important to kurds to the central government in backed up to turkey and iran. she notes mayor fatemi douma says the city's people are suffering from this clash of interests he is the yazidi put in office by the central government then left to fend for himself. and is. treated like fourth or fifth class citizens let me give you an example i had to live in the mountains for three years and five months there were six thousand families in the mountains if we weren't yazidi us they would have taken care of us like they did other people. more

than residents come to him every day asking for money for reconstruction but he can't help them the government says it wants to press on was rebuilding but almost pessimistic after the latest protests he says he expects any available money to be spent elsewhere. what are we we're here on earth when do we want to know are out in the percent of americans and so forth and i was well experienced i should. listen.
