subscribe to the documentary to. this is d. 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 open they're moving in the vietnamese capital hundred fifty u.s. president praising their strong relationship will it be enough to make progress toward peace. also coming up tensions soar as pakistan says it shot down two indian

aircraft a military spokesperson also saying that one indian pilot has been captured the disputed territory of kashmir is once again at the core of this latest crisis between the nuclear armed neighbor and incumbent muhammadu buhari is to clear the winner of nigeria's presidential election that's after a troubled vote with allegations of widespread or regularities. welcome to the program the second some of between us president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un is underway serious talks are set for tomorrow trump wants kim to give up his nuclear weapons program in exchange for economic development kim and trump are now diving together on the metropole hotel. in the

vietnamese capital. the talks come eight months after a historic summit in singapore the first between a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader. 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 in both leaders were shaking hands and smiling even said 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 both leaders are having dinner there laughing and trump said that he is very optimistic that this that all things 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 under 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 meatier a little bit more concrete. well there is a lot of skepticism that 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 happened and on the contrary north korea is still producing can you new career 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 could eventually lead to the did you clear is ation of the korean

peninsula so we are hearing right now that maybe 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 north korea has promised before and in return the u.s. president may be willing to. to agree to a joint statement to an end of the korean war statement that would be however 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 in india he has been keeping an eye on a vance 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 was 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. 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 for it was clear that michael cohen is going to testify 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 now it's true that michael cohen was only one of many lawyers working for them is to tromp he was his fixer his personal torney who was in charge of solving problems with regards to mr

trump's personal and business dealings he knows a lot and he has accused you as president of directing him to commit a crime come pain finance violation and this is a serious accusation so there is reason the for president to be war it alexander for. and thank you. it's let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world and gyptian 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 the fire was reportedly set off by a train's fuel tank which exploded when the train crashed into a barrier. emergency crews in indonesia are scrambling to find dozens of people buried in the collapse of an illegal old mine at least three bodies have been recovered fifteen people were rescued from the mining shops in the north so there was a province. iranian president hassan rouhani has rejected the resignation of former

minister mohammad job it's a reef who announced on social media on monday that he was stepping down sorry for his one of the main architects of iran's twenty fifteen nuclear deal with world powers. d.w. news still to come on the program are german weapons being used to wage war in yemen and. denies the allegation but it's d.w. investigations suggest otherwise. a series of cross border incidents has heightened tension between nuclear armed india and pakistan at issue is the disputed region of kashmir this video is said to show shells fired from pakistan coming down in indian controlled kashmir near the city of or jury. skirmishes have also been reported elsewhere along the line of control that divides kashmir both sides also say that they have shot down aircraft pakistan says that it

down to two indian war planes india has confirmed the loss of one aircraft and says that it downed a pakistani jet now none of these claims have been independently confirmed but both sides have closed airports and airspace to commercial flights in the region and pakistan's prime minister imran khan has urged restraint after meeting with his top security officials. capossela multiple 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 go to ya says it won't even be in my control or in or in remote control nominate control. joining us now with reaction is g.w. correspondents on the phone a car from islamabad and we also have journalist our salon 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. last on 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 grooves open moment of anyone from his son india must hand over those groups like a son and we've been we are going to take action possible the same statement saying that you know war is not the solution dialogue is the only solution and we can sort things out but having dialogue not 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 board of making it very clear that dialogue is the only solution and indian markets son must sort everything through done in the us the positive thing is that the statement from the indian foreign minister as

conditions very positive leading biased on which she said that she believed that india doesn't want to escalate things any further so this there's a whole after 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 so on yet 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 was attending a summit in china did say that india is not interested in escalating the spot though that india wants to act with the sponsibility and restraint but i have to say that you know the view here and baby very much is that despite those those severe tree words by the pakistani prime minister the view here today is that india

will not sit down with pakistan at the same table unless he 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 serious tension that this is. because of the fact that to get well to 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 because who thought the you tube if i talk about the sentiment off the general public. but it because obviously war does no good to anyone.

so the kind of a statement premise in non-con has lost and he addressed an issue previously that was going to do move to many of the countries so there is a serious incident among the general public everybody's asking questions what's really not next and that definitely this regime is not. get involved it's on when it comes to public and it concerns. sonia how does the upcoming election in india play into alves. well i think it does. because privatisation available the of course faces 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 all created a lot of nationalist sentiment feeling really waves of ngo called the government to

take action to avenge this attack and that was the government's response yesterday so i think analysts here do say that you know. 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 that so you found the car in delhi are still on khalid joining us from islamabad thank you. now to yemen and the weapons used to wage war there the four year conflict has triggered 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 g.w. suggests that those weapons are being used in yemen here's our report. in yemen's brutal war it's the civil unions who are 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 and 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. 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 magazine 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 to the emirates in the convoy

a german built weapon station mounted on vehicles. these fighters are on the wreckage of a saudi arabian tornado budget which crashed in yemen tornadoes have many german component woodman's that exported to saudi and he writes that makes a big if it's against him in use is that it is the tools of sylvia and emirs to kill the many so i'm calling us all those to countries to stop stealing would visit to south. back at the defense for the i mean iraq he signed weapons deals worth more than five billion dollars many of them with western companies and those arms too could end up in yemen's brutal conflict. when our british prime minister theresa may has again appealed to lawmakers to support her plan to take the united kingdom out of the european union may address bragg's it ahead of

a series of both set out for later today so they don't directly determine the fate of her deal but could influence her next steps as she tries to win support from parliament yesterday she was agreed to a parliamentary vote on extending the brakes a deal if lawmakers rejected her deal it is currently set for march twenty ninth. and we have team coverage of this i'm joined now by our correspondent charles charles impel who is in london max hoffmann is in paris where german chancellor angela merkel and france's president emmanuel are also discussing the latest brags of developments in charlotte i'll turn to you first in london because as we've heard there's talk now about postponing the date that britain leaves the e.u. what does prime minister to rescind may have to say about that. very simply sarah permanency to reason may said that she does not want an extension she said just today is the absolute focus is getting her deal the deal that she struck with

the european union agreed by parliament back home in the united kingdom and to that end negotiations have been happening this week negotiators both from the e.u. and the u.k. are trying to find an agreement some concessions perhaps that will be palatable to both sides she'll then put that reason may will then head deal to a vote again by march twelfth but the fact is as it stands not much is really changed since a deal with overwhelmingly rejected here in the u.k. last month and whether or not there's an extension might quite simply be taken out of to resume may's hands if that deal is rejected by march twelfth parliamentarians will then be off whether they if they want to face the prospect of a no deal breaks it just twelve days later on march twenty ninth and it's currently thought that they would overwhelmingly reject that just yesterday a report came out to you telling how damaging that could be for the u.k. economy so what's the reason make could see instead is her m.p.'s whether she likes

it or not will back an extension perhaps several months and in the meantime the clock is ticking i mean the hope really going into this is that with a little bit more time the negotiations with the e.u. might be stepped up there might be some changes to the deal max over to you now is that realistic what to merkel and mccraw have to say. well the extension seems rather realistic but if you listen to what the german chancellor are going to back i have to say here in paris you have to be careful she said she would not be opposed to an extension with a with a short limited period of time if it serves an orderly bragg's it so this sounds a lot like the technical extension that's been discussed in brussels and the condition for this is that they know where they are heading meaning that they're almost there that they know where the goalposts are but they need a little more time that this is not the case at the moment because as charlotte

rightfully said in london nothing really has happened so what should an extension do what should it repair that hasn't already been achieved in the last two years so to sum it up chancellor merkel is not opposed to that but the brits will have to say where they want to go with this extension but that's tell us just briefly i mean is there really nothing that theresa making get more out of brussels if she does get some more time. well here's the bad news for theresa may because some back and also by the way might have had mccall said another thing they also both said that the withdrawal agreement so that divorce agreement that had been negotiated in the last two years will not be reopened it is valid so the only thing she might be able to get and that's what the limited negotiations are about and call souls' is maybe a third kind of paper assurance and interpretation of what is in the withdrawal agreement if that will be enough to get

a majority in the house of commons is well i say you could be skeptical about that ok charlotte thirty seconds left the response to that likely from theresa may in london because she's certainly hoping to get something out of brussels. she is and she is hoping that she will get deal through parliament but there is a lot of concern among people here about you know if there is an extension could we actually find ourselves in the same place in three months time as we are now is she really going to be able to get any more from brussels and by the end of june there is of course still the threat that the united kingdom could leave the european union without a deal. in london. joining us from paris thank you so much to both of you. a public outcry has forced the french sportswear ria teller to catalogue to scrap plans to market a jogger's job in france some politicians have threatened to boycott the brand it's

been a big seller in other countries france bans the head job fifteen years ago. it was meant to offer muslim women always to participate but french politicians said they're running he just contradicted the country secure values there were threats of a boycott until retailer buckled under pressure from angry activists. don't you need to do dick a dick aquino is promoting a government that's actually a confinement of women's bodies you know these women should be doing sports but it's supposed to be for the liberation of bodies and excellence this shocks me. take up close it has received hundreds of calls and e-mails in protest of the heat up and that staff in stores have been threatened not everyone is offended though. and women should do what they want and i'm afraid if they come put this on now not do sports. it's

a purely commercial decision sports has nothing to do with it why should they cut lawn looks silva's. pick up lol is still selling the item in morocco muslim women in france can find he jobs at nike stores the u.s. sportswear giant introduced the product last year and keep selling it. now nigerian president muhammadu buhari has been declared the winner of saturday's elections the electoral commission reported that the incumbent secured fifty five percent of the vote is made rival the billionaire who. said that the election was rigged and that he will challenge the results in court. scenes of joy as supporters of president mohamed who bahati celebrate his reelection behati swept to power as a reform candidate four years ago now voters have given him another term to deliver on his promises four years he has been busy fighting corruption p.r.

mean you know before he can create opportunities he has to fight other things before those are what she did come bequeath it so we think this opportunity given he now we give him do right time did the right time for him to create more implements to the youth and to everybody in one theory or the heart he has vowed to fight corruption bring jobs to nigeria's young population and end a festering jihadist insurgency in the north of the country but even those who voted for him admit that he's fallen short of expectations. i don't think i have any other choice he's not the best choice than he's the best says but we don't have any other option because i. was. one of supporters assange when his opponents a furious his rival. refuses to accept the election results saying the vote was rigged up

a bucket supporters feel cheated to cool it is the window of this presidential election but they begin pulling the. lives of all the at this underwear no hobby on the chick or double don't know what is ip because in order. to cool it is time for him to become president of the. civil society groups report that thirty nine people were killed in clashes between rival supporters on election day alone with his second term secured behind his first task is to stop the anger at its controversial victory leading to further bloodshed. and from the nigerian capital abuja funny the char explained some of the challenges. well harvey faces in his second term supporters of president gathering here behind me are 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 all this fashion in this stronghold in the north east of the country and there's something else of course waiting to be defeated and that's rampant corruption symbolized by this gigantic broom the symbol of the a.p.c. party to sweep the 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.v.p. polity the challenger and that man and his party did not concede to defeat at 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 this the point of the angry suggesting the king has taken place. on a char there in nigeria a quick reminder of the top stories that we've been following for you u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un have begun their summit
