about recipes for success or strategies that make a difference. baking bread. d.w. . food. this is g.w. news live from berlin the second summit between the leaders of the united states and north korea has begun donald trump and kim jong un to open their meeting in the vietnamese capital i'm joined with the u.s. president praising their strong relationship will it be enough to make progress toward peace. also coming up tensions war as pakistan says that it shot down two

indian aircraft a military spokesman also says that two indian pilots have captured the disputed territory is once again at the core of this latest crisis between the nuclear arms neighbors plus a d.-w. investigation shows that german weapons are being used by the lisha groups in yemen civil war this despite claims by the german government that weapon sales in the middle east are strictly controlled. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the second sum of between the u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un is getting underway the two leaders came face to face within the last hour serious talks are set for tomorrow trump wants to push him to give up its nuclear nuclear weapons program in exchange for economic development. kim and trump are now dining together at the

metropole hotel in the vietnamese capital the talks eight months after a historic summit in singapore the first between a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader. your correspondent alexander phenomenon joins me now from hanoi so as we heard there trump and kim have now come face to face in vietnam what was the atmosphere like during that meeting how was this kicking off alexandra. well the atmosphere seems to be excellence and the both leaders were shaking hands and smiling. that they have a very special relationship that he thinks that this summit is going to be successful as you said there are now having dinner together and when the reporters and to the room a work of both leaders are having dinner there were laughing and said that she is very optimistic that this whole thing can be resolved soon so this is

a very optimistic statement we have to say however we also have to add that the president the u.s. president is a lot of pressure told and he desperately needs a win here something that he can sell as a foreign policy success and we know that if we compare this to the last meeting the first ever meeting between these two that was in singapore last year it really produced this vaguely worded statement what differences do they have to overcome now in order to get something a little bit mv here a little bit more concrete. well there is a lot of skepticism that at this summit can really result or sold the problem indeed i talked to an expert who told me that he thought that the last summit was a failure because nothing kept and and on the contrary north korea is still producing can you nuclear weapons but there are experts saying that there are optimistic that this summit at least can bring sort of a good plan

a road map that eventually leads to the the new clear is ation of the korean peninsula so we are hearing right now that may be willing to dismantle one of its new sites that he may be willing to let inspectors into the country but that is of course something that north korea has promised before and in return the u.s. president may be willing to. agree to a joint statement here to an end of the korean war statement that would be however rubber symbolic gesture but of course we are speculating here we have to wait and see what will happen tomorrow and you mentioned that trump he really needs a win back home indeed he has been keeping an eye on events back in the united states and i'd like to bring one of those in because you know there they say the media are reporting that his former fixer michael cohen will today tell congress

that trump is a racist a conman and a cheat and shortly before the meeting with him trump had this to say in response he used his preferred form of course twitter michael cohen was one of many lawyers who represented me unfortunately he did bad things unrelated to trump he is lying in order to reduce his prison time he. so alexandra when we look at that i mean. strategy wise is trump using this meeting with kim to deflect from his troubles back at home. well what we have to say is that this meeting here in hanoi was arranged before it was clear that michael cohen is going to testify or testify before congress but of course this is very damaging for the u.s. president who has just testimony by michael cohen and then this meeting very important meeting here and of course we have to say that it's not true that michael cohen was only one of many lawyers working for them is to tromp he was his fixer

his personal torn the who was in charge of solving problems with regards to this to try personal and business dealings he knows a lot and he has accused you ask president of directing him to commit a crime of come pain finance violation and this is a serious accusation so there is reason for president to be war it alexander phone . comment in thank you. it's. a series of cross border incidents has heightened tension between nuclear armed india and pakistan over the disputed region of kashmir a video is said to show shells fired from pakistan coming down in indian controlled kashmir near the city for jory skirmishes have also been reported elsewhere along the line of control that divides kashmir both sides also say that they shot down an aircraft pakistan says that it downed two indian war planes india has confirmed the

loss of one aircraft and says that it downed a pakistani jet none of these claims have been independently confirmed both sides have closed airports and airspace to commercial flights in the region. pakistan's prime minister imran khan has urged restraint after meeting with his top security officials. sort of a moderate but can we afford miscalculation with the kinds of weapons you and we have shouldn't we be thinking where this will go from here if things were to escalation going to yasi is it won't even be in my control or in or in remote control lawmen it can draw. joining us now with reaction is d w correspondent on the front of car from islamabad and we also have journalists are still on collets and i'd like to begin with you arsalan because we just saw imran khan saying there and he seems very keen to avert any further escalation right.

yes this is not the first time the run congress passed this statement if you remember right after the incident. on the last one the similar kind of a statement we are. extended the hand of friendship to words in the other he expressed that if there are any groups often women anyone from his son india must hand over those groups with his son and we've been we've been terrific action possible the same statement saying that you know war is not the solution is the only solution and we can sort things out by having dialogue again off the indian air force inclusion and then. taking action today again imran khan has addressed the nation and he was convened his message across the border making it very clear that dialogue is the only solution and indian market son must sort everything through done in office the positive thing is that the statement from the

indian foreign minister has been different very positively about his son where she said that she believes that india doesn't want to escalate things any further so this is a whole lot of these statements that maybe these two countries can sit across to have a dialogue and sort things out rather than getting into a war and sonia this offer up top how is this going down in delhi. well we haven't had any official reaction from the indian government following those statements by the pakistani prime minister earlier today of course indian foreign minister who was attending the summit in china did say that you know india is not interested in escalating the spot though that india wants to act with responsibility and restraint but i have to say that you know the view shouldn't they be very much is that despite those those conciliatory words by the pakistani prime minister the view here today is that india will not sit down with pakistan at

the same table unless gritty shows that it's cracking down on militants operating within its territory no india has long accused of harboring terrorists on its soil and it's a clear that pakistan is also of course long tonight. arsalan i mean if we look at the big picture here i mean these are the first air strikes on indian territory by pakistan since one thousand nine hundred seventy one and of course back then there were no nuclear weapons involved so how are pakistanis reacting to the escalation. well there is a tension that is. there. because of. the countries on your countries and it's not going to be a tradition more like it was in one thousand seventy one. of the countries who thought that. if i talk about the sentiment of the general. concern.

because obviously war does no good to anyone. and some of the kind of a statement from this in on this last. you see that one is going to do many of the countries so there is a serious concern among. these asking questions what's next and that definitely this situation is known. in pakistan when it comes to make and their concerns. sonia how does the upcoming election in india play into all of this. when i think it does play play a role here because privatization of in the body of faeces a very tough re-election fight in just a few months from now and the background to these strikes that india carried out yesterday of course is that following this the suicide attack earlier this month on indian troops that gosh we've that which was the worst in decades there's been a lot of outrage a lot of nationalist sentiment feeling really waves of anger called spall the

government to take action to the bench this attack and that was the government's response yesterday so i think i'm listening to say that you know the domestic compulsion to play at all they seem to have guided this exercise for an extended especially since also the targets of those military strikes by india yes they still remain very unclear we have absolutely no details about it so you found the car in delhi are still on khalid joining us from islamabad thank you for. you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program our german weapons being used to killed in the war in yemen berlin denies the allegation but indeed investigation suggests otherwise. but first a quick check of some other stories making news around the world egyptian state t.v. says that at least twenty people were killed and forty wounded after a fire broke out at cairo's main train station and the fire was reportedly set off by a train's fuel tank which exploded when the train crashed into

a barrier. the vatican says that it will open its own investigation into australian cardinal george pell that's after a melbourne court found guilty of sexually assaulting two teenage boys tell sentence will be announced next month he faces up to fifty years behind bars. emergency crews in indonesia are scrambling to find dozens of people buried in the collapse of an illegal gold mine at least three bodies have been recovered fifteen people were rescued from the mines and the shops of north sea levey's it profits. for fish prime minister theresa may has again appealed to lawmakers to support her plan to take the united kingdom out of the european union may trust bribes it ahead of a series of votes set for later today they won't directly determine the fate of her deal but could influence her next steps as she tries to with support with parliament yesterday she read two of parliamentary vote on extending the gregs

a day if lawmakers reject her deal that day is currently set for march twenty ninth . i get more we're joined by our correspondent charlotte charleston pills a charlotte there are discussions now to postpone the braggs a day where does the prime minister stand on all of this. there are but the reason may again has reiterated that that simply is not what she wants she has said that has absolute focus is still on getting her deal that she's agreed with the european union through parliament in time from march twenty ninth when the u.k. is due to leave the european union i'm negotiations to that end all still going on this week negotiators trying to to break the impasse to find some some concessions that are going to be palatable both to the e.u. answer parliamentarians back home in the u.k. but the fact is that whether to resume a a once an extension or not mavie taken out of her hands parliamentarians here are

more than aware that the u.k. is getting ever closer to the prospect of a no deal on march twenty ninth that we had just yesterday in a new report how devastating that could be for the u.k. economy say faced with the. north's breaking a no break the impasse with negotiations on head deal if it's voted down and rejected by parliamentarians by march twelfth they may face be they faced with a choice between no deal and an extension and it seems extremely likely that parliamentarians here will go for that extension talk with us a little bit about what happens if they get that extension because neither lawmakers for their part they've made it clear that there will be no other deals so why all of this time and after. that's right leaders have said repeatedly that this is the only deal that is on the table nevertheless there are still these negotiations going on so there is some hope from people here that's a reason they might get some concessions that will make. pallets of the parliament

but what people on both sides but the european union and here in the u.k. want to know is exactly what will be done with that time if there is an extension is to that it could potentially go to the end of june and the reason for that is of course that if it were to go on longer than the european union my at the u.k. rather might be required to. field candidates for the european parliamentary elections which both the u.k. and the e.u. once were voids but there is just some real concern about whether or not the impasse can be broken adjourning that extension i mean let's face it it's been months that the u.k. and the e.u. been in this stalemate and and nothing's happened so far and i know a lot of brits it is here is saying that they're worried that while this impasse continues into potentially an extended period that could be growing momentum for a second referendum on the u.k. even the european union that is something that the opposition parliamentarians here in the u.k. seem to be backing now building up support for and one leading brick that is here

said that he feared that that an extension is just essentially a poor boy by pro remain m.p.'s to stop breaks it's completely charlotte thank you . now to yemen and the weapons used to wage war there the four year conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis the german government has repeatedly denied any knowledge of german arms and technology involved in the war but an exclusive investigation by a team of media outlets including t w suggests that those weapons are being used in yemen here's our report. in yemen's brutal war it's the civilians who have bearing the brunt thousands have died millions on the brink of starvation . i think the dominant falls has been the saudi coalition the fact that it keeps bombing civilians and civilian infrastructure despite having the best weaponry

money can buy. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates up both fighting in yemen and it's here at this arms fan abu dhabi that they're shopping for the latest lethal technology both among the german arms industry's top clients but belin has repeatedly denied any knowledge of german made arms employed in yemen. i'm not aware of it we have in our coalition agreement let down so i'm very restrictive rules for export of military weapons to parties immediately and directly involved in the german conflict it is now being implemented i have not had any news about it so for. germany prides itself on these strict export guidelines which ban the sale of weapons to countries involved in armed conflict. but d.-w. and its investigative partners report mentioned stand market see in light us

reports and belling cut trolled loads of phidias photos and satellite images and found evidence that german weapons sold to the emirates and saudi arabia oh in fact being used in the yemen war in the air at sea and on land. this is a german made warship in the port of moscow in yemen it's one of two minds sweepers sold to the emirates satellite images repeatedly showed german made vessels in the eritrean port of a sub sub is a main base for the naval blockade of yemen which has led to widespread starvation . this is a convoy of foreign mercenaries in yemen fighting for the emirates in the convoy a german built weapon station mounted on vehicles. these fighters are seeing around the wreckage of a saudi arabian tornado jet which crashed in yemen tornadoes have many german

component wooden's that exported to saudi and a merit that makes a big effect against yemenis is that it is the tools of the intimidates to kill the in many ways so i'm calling us all the mystery and countries to stop filming with this to saudi. back at the defense for the m.e. raj he signed weapons deals worth more than five billion dollars many of them with western companies and those arms to could end up in yemen's brutal conflict. in nigeria would do harm he has won a second term as president despite the opposition's claims that saturday's election was raked the jury has electoral commission formally declared the results are live this morning showing a comfortable victory for the incumbent who hari took office in two thousand and fifteen valent to buy corruption defeat boko haram and to overhaul the country's infrastructure the opposition says he'll election was rigged and plans to challenge

the results in court. so a second term for what challenges he faced didn't use funny for chart tells us more from the nigerian capital abuja. supporters of president mubarak i gather here behind me preparing a rally to celebrate their reelected president and all that money is basically inheriting his own promises that he has made four years ago which is to revamp the economy create more jobs making sure that the stability and security in this country by combating defeating the militant group boko are obvious passion in this stronghold in the north east of the country and there's something else of course waiting to be defeated and that's ripe and corruption symbolized by this gigantic broom the symbol of the a.p.c. party to sweep that corruption away on top of that the country needs to be unified because forty one percent did not cast the ballot for president if you see party but for cars p.d.p. party the challenger and that man and his party did not concede to defeat yet they

do not accept the results yet so it's going to be very interesting to see how the next hours the next days are going to play out as one part of the country is celebrating while the other is disappointed and angry suggesting that the trading has taken place. in front of a char there in nigeria now to want to do when first taco africa's biggest film festival is also one of the oldest and the most influential movie events in the continent for kenya faso stages fest every two years and it is running until saturday have a look. this is africa's biggest film festival and it's celebrating its fiftieth anniversary. twenty full length movies are competing for the so-called african oscar the golden stallion the. filmmakers and film lovers meet up for the rendezvous of the
