restart without preconditions. the united states wants firm commitment from to hang it to court disarm before sitting down at the negotiating table. that is why these talks are being described modestly as exploratory. nevertheless, the first few hours seem to have been at least friendly. >> the u.s. and north korean delegates met at 10:00 this morning for two hours. they have a coffee break. we had an initial presentations of our respective positions. >> the fact the two sides are talking at all is regarded as a big improvement on the dark days of 2009. when a deal to disarm north korea broke down just one month later, pyonyang launched artillery shells along its disputed border with south korea. recently, there has been something of a diplomatic thaw. north and south korean foreign ministers met in july for the

voting in favor of a referendum. >> the tentacles of the european union intrude into more and more areas of our national life. understandably, they are disillusioned at being fobbed off by the politically to all we seem to find a reason to stop them having their say. >> this sizable rebellion is a sign that skepticism is still a strong force in the conservative party, and something david cameron had not bargained on causing them problems. >> this is "newsday." >> i'm chris rodgers in london. rescue teams and turkey are continue to search for survivors after the strong earthquake that hit the east of the country on
