their dreams and their challengers. this isn't seven percent. platform. this is life from but then sometimes you have to walk this was the u.s. president after his much anticipated. this particular visit we decided to walk. we'll see what happens. after he refused to lift. the new crisis so what caused this

meeting a trip. from the summit donald trump sliced into a political storm follow rejecting testimony from peaceful. the president committed crimes before during his presidency. plus pakistan tries to ease tensions over kashmir the prime minister. to believe the indian fighter pilot shot down. u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong or have brought their highly anticipated summit in vietnam to an early and with no agreement building on positive sentiments from the historic first summit last year of these latest were aimed at agreeing

a path to north korean denuclearize ation and bringing peace to the korean peninsula mr trump says talks broke down after he refused to lift all sanctions against pyongyang in exchange for only partial denuclearization. there was no lunch and no signing ceremony instead president trump's motorcade headed away from the summit venue after talks broke off prematurely. the hanoi meeting was the second he's had with kim jong un after a summit in singapore last year critics called that one big on style and low on substance so this time donald trump was under pressure to deliver results a clear timetable from pyongyang for dismantling its nuclear program for example from the outset he made it clear that he wasn't going to be rushed. very very much to giving there we need is not that important to be. found in perhaps the most public commitment to international demands yet

a comment from north korea's kim jong un when asked whether he was ready to didn't you clear ice in your building in your generosity and if i'm not really there that i won't be here right. now it will be the best answer you know very but with p.r. nyang pressing its own demands president trump was left to explain why the top stand apart basically they were all of these sanctions were. in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to do you know. of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for that so we continue to work and we'll see but we had to walk away from that particular suggestion we had to walk away from. it was a dispiriting end to a much more meeting with the sanctions issue still far from resolved it appears the road to disarming north korea will be

a long one. the bureau chief. was in honolulu for those talks his her assessment. the president's trump the turn of events in hanoi and mountains to a diplomatic failure he had hoped to reach a deal although u.s. intelligence agencies warned him that north korea is unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons he had hoped that his personal rapport with kim jong un was help bridge gaps in negotiations that didn't happen instead of bringing home a huge foreign policy success trump left and hand it. i was under fire norman so where do we go from here and as most of the areas from the institute of korean studies balance free university welcome to d w what's your event what's your take on the events of us today well it was quite impressive quite impressive two days but only half successful meetings i would say. only half

successful because there was no agreement there was no agreement that they sign it was a ceremony so no substantial outcome but quietly but still successful because the two leaders met now for the second time you could say in seventy years of hostilities. they talked to each other they prepared the summit maybe not sufficiently enough but still now maybe they have a more sober perspective on each other's demands so we don't presume this is the end of it and they keep talking absolutely yes this is just another step i mean we would all be much happier if they would have agreed on on substantial things today or yesterday but this is a very complex and very complicated process we're in here and it's not surprising that it takes so long so something that there's the ending so abruptly without even bigger than you know to what you expect in these diplomatic exchanges is that ok we didn't agree anything but we could say we could agree at least on what day it wasn't that we had nice food nothing no no statement no nothing what does that tell

us that these two leaders are very particular personalities that brought them together in the first place and it was good but that makes the whole process also more complicated and if obama for eight years pursued strategic of patients doing nothing now trump has used strategic impertinent impatiens if this is better we will see we've heard from president trump i would like to hear from a controller. i don't think so maybe indirectly through the don't see monday the. the north. korean media or indirectly through talks he will have now in vietnam until he goes back on the second of march but i don't think there will be a press conference or a direct statement and despite this. determination president trump actually seemed quite optimistic about the future yes and i think it's because of the reason i

mentioned just before that he doesn't think the deal is over he just thinks ok that just is another step another round and this is another step yes i was south korea viewing this yeah they had an official statement and of course they were disappointed but also the south korean president jane he talked to president trump on the f. was one for twenty five minutes or so and president asked him for supporting the process in the future and i'm i'm thinking i think i'm sure a president when jean will support the process in the future very actively ok in the media or if we're fickle bunch that when the first meeting happens there always is this is historic but there's been no preparation the second meeting happened that oh this is kind of historic let's see what happens then when it did over the problems i would say it's a failure do you think we are going to have a summit at least once a maybe even a fourth and fifth this is a very very long term process and support that they need often and they in between

even that high level u.s. of course now that of course the most important part is on the working level to have more meetings because they were insufficiently prepared this time but still they will have in the future another summit ahead like an optimistic point to end on how is mostly from the institute of korean studies thank you so much. now while donald trump was in hanoi back in washington his former thickset personal lawyer was testy for in a testifying before a congressional committee and giving damning testimony against him michael cohen worked for mr trump for ten years during which time he said the billionaire property developer behaved like a mafia don committing criminal acts before and during his term as president mr cowen is facing a three year sentence for lying to congress in twenty seventeen in most of the charges despite this he's insisting that this time is telling the truth i've acknowledged i have made my own mistakes and i have owned up to them publicly and

under oath but silence and complicity in the face of the daily destruction of our basic norms and civility to one another will not be one of them given my experience working for mr trump i fear that if you loses the election in two thousand and twenty that there will never be a peaceful transition of power and this is why i agreed to appear before you today that despite being busy with his summit in hanoi donald trump did follow michael kunze testimony and even though he said much of what his former lawyer said was shameful it was a little impressed he lied a lot but it was very interesting because he didn't lie about one thing he said no collusion with the russian hoax and i said i wonder why he didn't just lie about that do like he did about everything else and he lied about so many different things and i was actually impressed that he didn't say well i think there was collusion for this reason or that he didn't say that he said no collusion. and i

was. you know a little impressed by that frankly because if we could have got it all out as mr trump speaking just before he left the hanoi we asked our washington correspondent staff and siemens how damaging this testimony could be for the trump presidency. depends on who you ask if you again right and left of the political divide if you ask democrats and the left or the progressives and the so-called resistance to donald trump how damaging this testimony was they say it was that is basically the beginning of the impeachment process for donald trump couldn't get any worse for donald trump and mr cohen is a very very important building block in making the case about or against donald trump and how bad he is for the country for the united states for the world and as a president if you ask republicans and his supporters of course not only in the company but in the senate or. in the house as well as in the country don't forget thirty percent. of americans are his core base so they are supporting the president

and they will support the president beyond what mr cohen now said they will wipe this away and say it doesn't really matter mr cowen himself is a bad character and a crook and that's why he will go to present a prison after all and the president can don't do no bad but also the country remains along those fault lines from the legal fallout it's absolute divide that. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of supporters of venezuela's own battled president nicolas maduro have taken to the streets of the capital caracas to protest against threats of foreign military intervention and crisis recommission opposition efforts to bring in humanitarian aid have been thwarted by the army. has been reelected president of senegal for a second term figures released by the national vote counting commission shows south sunday's first round outright the fifty eight percent of the vote closest rival for

much more on the ocean free in light of these heightened tensions right now between the two new people on the border. you know these aerial strikes that you get this week that we can be traced back by talking about which at least the tension really could be to the key high level so does that mean one thing in india remains on high alert so if in doubt i thank you. now the woman's the football world cup takes place in june in france or germany are one of the favorites to win new coach martina voss tattling dog makes her debut this evening in a tough friendly away to a tournament hosts france. germany are limbering up for the world cup starting with the clash against the hosts it's a new start for the team with coach martina foss techmeme borg in charge for the

first time for her and the players this game will be an indicator of what they can expect this summer. that's what it's like move it'll show us where we stand once we're doing well as well they might have to improve that's why it's great to get a little taste of what's to come. and that's often so-called there's no doubt in the german set up that their opponents are one of the favorites to win the world cup just as long as they can handle the expectations placed on them by the home crowd. then as differences if the french team manage to pay the pressure in the own country if there's spurred on by it still be very hard to beat them so that's a slog the pressure is on fast tech limburg too though the tournament starts in just over three months so time to prepare is already running out. a motor sport such i really thought of the male domain but i want to introduce you to

susan the wild africa's number one woman in racing last year the super lady asher's no became the first woman to win one of the continent's national rally titles. motor sport funds in uganda will do anything to cheer there to buy my adrenalin sport has a big following among both men and women by but things look quite different to that . via just over fifty licensed drivers international rally championship. almost exclusively men but the phrase one woman who runs the best. when i had just set in little did they know. that these so of course i was young by then that this young lady who had come up to challenge men everybody despised me that is a lady the speeds. whatever over. mistakes

in the national championship are high and susan more often gets nervous when her rivals are on the truck. at first so you become anxious. but let our own when you get to the tide when i get to the stats and i drop all the fia. it is not easy. i could drive and knows how to give someone a boast when the competition is steve. so i also tend to be a lady that more in such a moment when she feels likely to be depressed that the guys are faster than her and there is still i know we are fast. the team structure just seems to be playing golf when she sits on this super lady she's known to have funds can be and catchable. in twenty living longest surprised me when she won uganda's national
