those mixed messages from north korea despite promises it seems they're building missiles u.s. spy satellites have reportedly spotted renewed activity at a missile site what does this mean for kim jong un's commitment to denuclearize the korean peninsula we'll get reaction from washington also coming up the city. in northern iraq was liberated three years ago but only a fraction of the minority who once lived. an exclusive report.

on what happens if you just have to. speak. as we switch through a heat wave. good to have you with us tonight reports that north korea has not stopped working to build a new ballistic missiles that could carry a nuclear weapon the washington post says that u.s. spy satellites have detected renewed activity at a site that has produced them in the past well this puts into a promise made by north korean leader. at a summit in singapore just last month he reportedly told the he would end all missile and nuclear testing we'll get reaction from washington in just

a moment but first this report. 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 could undermine 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. neighbors south korea is on alert. 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 about this on the heels of reports that north korea is continuing to enrich uranium in secret and critics say the trump administration is being played by north korea last week u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo faced criticism from within his own party and i am afraid there is this point the united states the troubled ministration is being taken for a ride fear not senator fear 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. heartless take the story down to the united states. standing by in washington good evening to you carson so what has been the reaction to this report from the washington post. on the white house has not officially reacted

to the reports but one of the president's surrogates kellyanne conway has tried to play down the importance of the news saying that things don't change overnight she was echoing earlier statements by secretary of state compay oh the american foreign minister who had sat that the nuclear rising north korea and getting rid of the threat from its long range missile program would not be a quick achievement and that both the government and the public had to have patience he had of course does not want to trump said after his summit with kim jong un as we've said and in a treaty pointed out that everybody now can feel safer than the day i took office there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea unquote that was on the trumpet only a few weeks ago he also said great progress was being made that was obviously a slight overstatement his critics probably this evening feel vindicated you know

they've said that he's being taken for a ride i mean has the ministration has it just completely misread the intentions of the north korean leader. at least it seems to reaffirm all confirm what the critics have sat at the summit in singapore was not very wild prepared that it didn't yield any concrete results to show for of course it came and trump in a joint statement said they would work towards denuclearization of the korean peninsula but it wasn't even quite clear if both sides understood the same. when they said these things and also there were no concrete steps that had to be taken from that point there was no concrete timetable and that is the problem with donald trump's approach towards diplomacy you think it's enough when the big guys sit

together the relationship and then everything will fall in place normally it's done the other way round first the experts come together try to find common ground work on some of the details and thus provide the platform for such a meeting of the big guys yeah and that brings us to iran and the u.s. president yesterday from doing a one eighty s. saying that he would like to meet with the iranian president and with no conditions is he trying to apply his north korea strategy to iran. well i think in this case he was just shooting from the hip reacting to the question from a reporter at a joint press conference with the italian prime minister i wouldn't read too much into it i don't think there is something like a cohesive strategy behind this or anything that was pre-planned a diplomatic offensive or something donald trump has been criticized heavily both

for his meeting with vladimir putin a few weeks ago and also for that summits in singapore with kim jong un and he's basically just doubling down on his style of diplomacy and saying well i won't meet with anyone i believe in meeting people and talking to people and so this is what he did and as we know of course the iranians have already rejected this kind of spontaneous offer yes it's a promise there are corresponding cost in phenomenon the story for us tonight in washington carson thank you. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world facebook says it has uncovered what looks like a coordinated effort to influence november's congressional elections in the u.s. the company says it does not know who is responsible but it has taken down dozens of think accounts related to the campaign more funerals have been held for the victims of greece's wildfires famous actor chris speel e.o.t. and her husband demetrius. were among those killed when flames ravaged the seaside

town of ma just over a week ago at least ninety one people were killed in the blaze the french government has survived two votes of no confidence in the wake of a scandal involving the president emanuel my bodyguard and his party has a large majority so there was little chance of the motions exceeding it was two weeks ago when a video was unleashed of a bodyguard alexander but no police here assaulting protesters. turning now to northern iraq which was liberated nearly three years ago from islamic state when it swept through the region are yes targeted minorities like the yazidi niece who do not follow the islamic faith militants killed kidnapped and enslaved thousands of years he's already turning in starting afresh is a mammoth task very few people are trying to start a new life in the region of its capital sin jar or shingle as it's known in kurdish

interviews for you to show traveled there she brings us this exclusive report. seeing on the capital of the yes you to slice in ruins devastated by invasion and the fight for liberation most people fled when so-called islamic state took the city and killed then it's left thousands now that the islamists have been expelled only a few residents have free to and in many parts feels like a ghost town to end of us after liberation from i as only three cells and families have returned to a city which once had more than eighty thousand inhabitants. this still no sign of reconstruction there are no hospitals schools a functional administration he has he's living inching guns kill abandoned by the political sense. the head of we've got no electricity and the water is bad.

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 fatah middlemarch says the cities people are suffering from this clash of interests he is the yes' eady put in office by the central government then left to fend for himself. is the incentive that we are 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 easy they would have taken care of us like they did other people. move more than residents come to him every day asking for money for reconstruction but he can't help them the government says it
