are set to center on kang's nuclear weapons program a summit earlier this year between kim and u.s. president donald trump ended without any agreement and china then backed sanctions on the north so ties are currently strained between those 2 countries it's been less than 6 months since his handshake kim jong un has visited china north korea's closest foreign ally many times over the years. she jinping on the other hand is the 1st chinese leader to travel to pyongyang and well over a decade. we are ready to work with the new p.r. k. to continue to carry forward the fine tradition of china d p r k friendship and promote the continuous development of exchanges and cooperation between the 2 countries in various fields relations between the 2 authoritarian countries have been strained since north korea began amping up its nuclear weapons testing i beijing supports denuclearization of the korean peninsula and recently backed the

raft of international sanctions against. these talks aimed to relieve tensions. the u.s. will be watching closely a summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump in february broke off without an agreement even south korea said it is hoping talks between she and kim will move things forward opening up the chance of renewed negotiations on the north's nuclear program. a lot to talk about there in pyongyang let's go to the region now i'm joined by david is. in seoul good morning fabienne can you tell us what kind of message are the 2 leaders hoping to send with this meeting. well the message is definitely a very harmonious one both countries are really putting a lot of emphasis on their friendship which is actually quite complicated you mentioned that it's really an ambivalent and complicated relation but really they try to be very harmonious place ample both will visit the korea north korea and

north korea china friendship tower and also celebrate the historic ties both were fighting in the korean war which started 66 years ago and both sides need each other china needs north korea because it wants debility in the region and of course north korea needs china because it's the economic lifeline of the country and without china they basically could not survive. in this meeting it comes just ahead of the g. 20 summit now how is that factoring in to this visit yet not i would say the timing is really crucial and i would really say that this summit is also a signal from xi jinping to would trump because trump needs china to pick his strategy of maximum pressure of keeping the sanctions if china wanted to it could easily open up the border and start economic cooperation again with north korea and then counter that's refugee but of course china and china stephanie very

worried about the u.s. trade or and and the china will use that as a leverage in discussing trade well with trump and they will meet soon at the g. 20 summit in japan ok you mentioned the sanctions against north korea from china so that makes this a very important meeting for. yeah actually this also like a practical outcome that north korea expects from the summit and that is food delivery food aid because north korea had a really bad harvest the worst in a decade and 10000000 people depend on foreign aid but of course the bigger picture is that kim jong un needs the diplomatic back up and by china. china to not be involved in for the end strategy of the nuclear the nuclear is ation on their terms basically saying that they have a step by step approach not not the big deal that trump expects but rather you know giving concessions step by step and of course they hope that china for that and

also will support the ok a lot of stake from both sides thanks very much for that update. let's brief you know on some of the other stories making the news around says it has shot down an american spy drone over its southern province of almost gone and announced that the country's revolutionary guard down but it said was a global hawk aircraft the pentagon says u.s. aircraft were not operating over around the time that. german media reporting that several of the country's politicians are facing death threats from the far right extremists police say this includes colognes mare and riyadh. she was seriously wounded in a knife attack 4 years ago earlier this month a pro immigration conservative politician was shot dead. sudanese protesters have staged an overnight rally in khartoum as they press their demands for the military to hand over power to civilian government marchers called for action after

the victims of a crackdown were wounded and died earlier this month the army is offering unconditional talks but protest leaders want soldiers to withdraw from urban areas for. rescue workers are searching for some 20 missing migrants that's after a passenger ferry picked up dozens of their fellow travelers stranded on a boat in the mediterranean spanish authorities say the boat was reported missing tuesday after setting off from morocco. now the united nations says a record number of people worldwide have been forcibly displaced this year by war persecution or violence the number of displaced people around the globe now totals 71000000 that's 2000000 more than last year this figure includes asylum seekers refugees and internally displaced people to mark un world refugee day we report now

on one of the groups affected the road from me in march after a crackdown by myanmar's military some 800000 of them fled to bangladesh among them elderly refugees you know mothers that we were in the field the soldiers with chasing people and shooting people who could run managed to escape but those who couldn't run were killed. there was fighting rape burning of homes that's why i fled here. all the time they were many older rowe hinge on life has been a near constant flight from violence the stories of those who did not manage to escape survive only with their relatives. and that other when the soldiers came and set houses on fire my parents were inside they weren't able to move on their own they were bedridden we couldn't take them with us when we fled my parents died when the house was too just. living in a refugee camp can be an unbearable experience for the elderly it can be even worse

over the past several months the human rights organization amnesty international interviewed nearly $150.00 displaced or injured aged 54 to over 90 years old. the aid workers concluded that humanitarian aid hasn't done enough to address the needs of older refugees in camps in bangladesh and this older man was able to reach a designated age friendly clinic but such places are rare in the camps for the elderly food medical and sanitation facilities are often difficult to reach. researchers documented cases of older patients foregoing medicine because they cannot manage the challenging terrain to the health clinics amnesty says charities and donor governments have created a system intentionally or not in which the elderly are invisible. well for more on that and on the un report on the displaced interviews on your koehler spoke with the un's high commissioner for refugees philippo groggy nearly 71000000 people

worldwide displaced all refugees a high increase in numbers compared to last year what other reasons. the main one is the inability to resolve conflict to put an end to wars all wars chronic wars new wars new crisis unless this is addressed to gether unanimously by the international community and we will continue to see these figures rice how should the world leaders address the situation by working together. we have seen that even in the crises that have caused the worst humanitarian problems like syria like libya like yemen we have not seen unity on the part of the international community unless there is unity in the security council where germany sits and tries to encourage a unit in other fora unless there is this unity of intent we will not solve

conflict and we will continue to inflict the consequences of conflict on millions of people that make this very difficult choice to leave behind everything that they hold dear and go into exile. about half of the refugees are children what impact does it have on their lives that they have to grow up in a situation like this and isn't that a dramatic element of this whole situation children do not make choices they just leave because it's dangerous for them and the dangers are multiplied by their fragility by their exposure be it to disease be to hunger especially in some situations be it to exploitation and abuse which sadly we see in many of these conflicts and another thing that i think is very important education you know being on the move being in exile makes it reduces your chances to get a good education and we can only imagine what generations of children without

education may mean so we really need to act on all these things at the same time. a huge number of people are refugees at the same time in countries trying to close their border what is your message to those governments this is the result of the political manipulation that has been made of this movement of people forced movement of people presenting there must threats presenting them as people that are coming here to steal our jobs and to threaten our security instead of presenting them us people the need of solidarity and. board and instead of being strategic in trying to address the root causes i agreed that we want to put an end to this phenomenon and i also believe that 71000000 is a big figure but when you look at the world $7500000000.00 people it is a manageable figure it can only be managed by working together by be dramatizing

the whole issue of refugees and migrants and by being strategic about looking at the root causes if we start working in that manner and not continuously put back the issue into the political domain we will make progress for the people affected and for all of us high commissioner thank you very much. this is due to the news live from berlin still to come on the show india baking in the grip of get another severe heat wave we look at what's that to become the country's longest hot spell on record. and england make it 3 out of 3 of the women's world cup in france the linus' was roaring to another victory to qualify for the last 16. but 1st european union leaders are meeting today to try to resolve what's become a very thorny issue at a crucial juncture for the bloc who will lead it a summit in brussels today is looking at candidates for europe's top job the president of the u. commission that issue has created friction between the e.u.

used to leading nations france and germany let's go straight to brussels our correspondent matthew standing by 1st care to tell us more about this powerful top job and why it has become so contentious. finding a candidate for this top job in the european commission has always been a tug of war the recruitment process seeks to balance out a number of factors you really that is personal experience that is part of political considerations but it's also the influence of member states who always try to push their candidates so even in the case of john paul jones of the current head of the european commission it wasn't easy it was quite a difficult process and everyone expected to be exactly the same this time a very tricky. ok we're going to talk some more in just a bit let's take a look 1st at some of the main contenders to become the new e.u. commission president. they are lining up for the top jump in brussels and it's

anything but child's play who will make the race right now 3 candidates are in the running to become the next president of the european commission the e.u.'s highest dop what i want done as a politician might have it invest aga she positioned herself as the liberal front runner and would be the 1st woman to serve as president of the european commission that stargirl made a name for herself as a fierce you competition commission are responsible for slapping google with a huge and to trust fine she enjoys the support of several heads of states but she might be putting the cart before the horse because not everybody in her own party is backing her the dutchman and social democrat plans to moments has strong support in the south of europe but his problem is the east as my as president of the european commission funds to my months as an experienced politician who speaks 9 languages but some eastern european nations above all hungary and poland oppose him

timmermans has openly criticized both countries for flouting democratic values and last but not least the germany's months played biba his advantage eastern europe lyceum a lot more than his social democrat opponent for some months will be about doesn't have enough political experience to become commission president a candidate must receive $21.00 of the blocks 28 votes veba is still far from that goal was really making this race so difficult france and germany disagree about who should get the job french president interim icon doesn't want to be limited to the 3 candidates putting him at odds with the german chancellor angela merkel if the 2 conduct 3 the carousel could change direction and a dark horse candidate could enter the race. on the back or and i'm on your mark on usually agree on so very much why the deep disagreement over the next commission president. let's start brian with party

political considerations here i'm glad americans candidate is monthly as we've seen in the report from the center right now my concretely is a liberal and that is why you would rather see someone like michael divest aka the used car and on to trust commissioner also a liberal in that top job my car also as the feeling that month of evil lacks the experience that was also mentioned in the report and that is why he of course would rather like to see but probably a frenchman in that top job and someone who comes to mind in that case is the chief negotiator michele bunny who is in turn a conservative someone from the center right and so he could be a candidate that. could support in case monthly it wouldn't get enough support in the european council because at the end of the day all either member states need to agree on one candidate for this top job so you see the horse trading will get

really tricky ok it's also said to be tricky in a number of other positions there for discussion at the summit including the next head of these even. that's right you have the head of the e.c.b. the european central bank but you also have a number of vacant positions for instance the head of the european council the president of the european parliament the foreign political chief of the european union someone like the foreign policy chief but you see the fact that all these places need to be allocated is also helpful in the sense that it allows leaders on the summit to maneuver to have a number of bargaining chips they can hand out in allocating those top jobs only one thing so far is certain the leaders have decided that there should be 2 women on the team so far it's only one frederica maurine the head of the foreign policy and political chief of the european union has so many thanks from all of us here

for that from brussels a lot being discussed there today thanks very much. it's to india now that country is in the grip of a deadly heat wave with temperatures soaring in many parts of the country the monitors have had 40 degrees celsius for $32.00 days straight now the country's current record hot streak lasted 33 days the state of bihar has been especially hard hit more than 180 people there have died as a result of this heat wave so far in the capital delhi temperatures are so high that officials have issued a red alert india's health minister is warning people not to leave their homes until temperatures fall. even for india's dry season this is historic the capital delhi baking under record high temperatures raised and looking to the heavens for help. let me thank you never experience anything like it it breaks all records only rain can save us but it doesn't become

a big. but it don't be more the washed crowded hospital corridors and fans working overtime speak to the emergency here staff overwhelmed with patients suffering from heat exhaustion since saturday almost 80 people have died authorities have implemented a daytime curfew to stem the casualty count. extreme heat is compounded by a shortage of water. tankers off for parts communities lifesaving supplies must be landing you have to be in line early in the morning otherwise you won't get anything often people go away empty handed. scientists say the people are the latest victims of shifting weather patterns attributed to global climate change. not once one has been late because of huge climate change if it and that some was what aboard these because this

also also what is being depleted and it is that makes relentless heat waves i'm reduced rainfall is playing havoc with india's manasseh of humanity. and we're going to take a look now at a new report by the united nations on the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi it calls for the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon to be investigated the report cites what an independent human rights expert says is quote credible evidence linking bin zalman and other senior saudi officials to casualties murder at the country's consulate in istanbul turkey that was last year. a columnist for the washington post was known for his outspoken criticism of the saudi regime and the saudi journalist. as he arrives at the saudi consulate in istanbul minutes light of the washington post columnist would be murdered inside the building by saudi agents

now are you an expert says his enemies at the very top of the government to blame the execution of mr casualty or is the responsibility of the state of saudi arabia shortly after the shock she entered the embassy these 2 men left one of them was dressed to look like the journalist complete with a fake beard. this picture shows the 2 suspects in the background apparently disposing of evidence. members of the hit squad then left the country on this private plane but despite the coverup the u.n. believes it knows who the brains behind the operation were. what i do add is if you don't suggesting that the response said the tease of high level officials may be engaged and therefore he's requiring further investigation in particular of the clue prince mohammed bin selman is literally the power behind the throne in the

desert kingdom. she was a vehement critique of m.b.'s as he's known the report cites unverified late conversations in which bin soundman is accused of saying he'd like to use a bullet on to shock she. wakes up to the journalists death saudi prosecutors charge 11 men with his killing. but the u.n. report finds that out as a still free it's expert says sanctions should be implemented against those who are behind this crime including possibly the crown prince if he's allergic or step for me to be asking for he needs to be included in the sanctions until and unless there is evidence paul vi did that she was not in both jamal khashoggi she was 59 years old he survived by his fiance and 4 children he's widowhood teaches shingles has welcomed the report and she's joined calls for the world's top powers to take responsibility and ensure that justice is done. and for much
