keen to put on a display of unity at the summit but it left experts debating if these are yet more empty promises. i think substantial. a little bit i think probably the most important thing meaningful is that the north koreans considered inviting inspectors into the country and now it seems like the two facilities they want to comment have inspectors look at already been decommissioned in one way or another and that might not actually get relevant to the north korean program anymore so i'm not sure that that's actually a major concession that's up for debate probably in the next couple weeks we'll see what that means but inspectors are something new right and we know the north koreans don't like inspectors foreigners can operate freely in north korea at all right so if we get that from them that's actually a pretty good start there's enough to keep the process limping along right donald

trump said i sent a tweet or two afterwards saying this is sort of a good step so it's still ok but you know there has been movement on the really big issues of nuclear weapons and missiles yeah let's let's look about a little closer so that no throws a great to potentially dismantle its main nuclear sites if the united states makes concessions and and makes reciprocal concessions just can't believe the united states will agree to this yeah that's actually a really good question because under this president right i mean in the back states is actually reneged on two deals with nuclear states in the past first with libya and now with the iranians on my fire the north koreans i'm not sure just on the program probably wouldn't but so i think it's one of the reasons why this process is moving so slowly right we don't trust the north koreans and they don't trust us their credibility problems on both sides right and right now we're stuck in that problem right the north koreans want the americans to go first and vice versa i think that's one of the reasons why moon went to pyongyang as starforce this process along with the north koreans didn't give very much right and now expect

trying to give something back. it was political scientist robert a kelly from south korea's present national university. germany's fragile coalition government is under pressure after chancellor merkel sacked a controversial domestic intelligence chief and then promoted him to a more powerful post. mohsen was under fire for alleged far right sympathies will now become second in command to germany's interior ministry working for the rebellious horses zehava says a hole of a house demand has defended mawson's unlikely promotion a saying that all three party leaders in the country's coalition government agree to this compromise that is until after social democrats were part of the coalition of wanted mohsen sacked now some party members are questioning the deal struck by their leadership and the chancellor so far as a. political correspondent maximillian a coach a coach joins me now welcome maximillian and so let's start there with as a whole. he he defended this move in

a press conference tell us more about what he's been saying he's confirmed and in fact what we've heard yesterday and the official announcement that mohsen who was or is still is the head of the domestic intelligence service will move over to the interior ministry he will get to pose as a demand deputy minister and until a new head of the domestic intelligence service is announced he will stay in that position once he will move though he will in fact. take the place of another deputy minister who was announced who was put there by the social democrats so where does this leave the social democrats well they're the ones who are currently losing in two counts in the situation first of all there's also the sacking of mohsen but he's now been given a higher position under his mentor the interior minister who was the office and they also lose political power within the interior ministry. and they've been

speaking about this and yes they have in fact the. secretary has been quite critical of how this situation has developed. said to. them would not have been made deputy minister under an s.p.d. interior minister the minister and it's also important to point out that even the chancellor distanced herself from this horse a whole for bringing martin into his interior ministry looks like another appealed to the chancellor and i don't know how that will affect the coalition's internal relations in future lost and that of. mr kling bille it's not wrong that this does look like a another rebuke to the chances so where does this leave this chancellor and this coalition government and leaves the government this coalition government off the social democrats and the conservatives both sees you the bank conservatives are still for being the party to and. do you quite volatile they again just have

averted another crisis they've just again reached them a compromise where nobody seems to be the real winner and it leaves again the boat as being quite concerned of like what the government is really achieving well darkness tomorrow will be another day will be another another chapter in this in throwing saga political correspondent maximally on the co-chair thank you. this is day to leaders alive from the still to come british cars made in slovakia eyes judge us just production overseas ahead of a lot more and business after the break. about stories from that again get hot. on the hot i'll have more for you at the top of the out in the meantime coast i've got to get over latest news and information around the clock on our web site that state w dot com i'm going to.
