policy making the north koreans they would want these talks they want to hold their cards close they definitely want to sit down at the table but they want to see what the americans beyond donald trump have to offer whether the sanctions can be lifted whether it brings them closer to the global community the first pictures showing the destruction of north korea's only nuclear test site have been released our correspondent he got it done of was among the small pool of journalists invited to witness the facility being decommissioned. just minutes ago the birthing center over there and now everything is being turned into a massive cloud of dust. those barracks were used for living for the soldiers too old to locate soldiers and workers there well now north korea is showing that it is destroying the infrastructure to. behind me is

northern tunnel number two that's where five nuclear tests five most recent nuclear tests have been conducted out of four tunnels around here this one got the most battering so basically this is north korea saying look we are ready to make the first step and this is the first step that we're making to show that we are acting in good faith we're destroying all the facilities we are being told that what has been done today has rendered this site absolutely useless now they're expecting more to come out from the united states and international community but everything here is happening amid the atmosphere of uncertainty the latest rhetoric by the u.s. president donald trump and his aides and might come pale we are hearing from north koreans that this is putting the whole thing in jeopardy they don't know what to expect they're saying that well how can the united states be trusted after you run after they pulled out of the iran deal that was negotiated four years they're

saying how can the united states be trusted when they are saying that the libya model should be applied to north korea so right now again here we are being shown that they're being destroyed and north korea is saying that well the ball is in somebody else's court now and we've done of reporting from north korea pyongyang at a nuclear test site r.t. . the world's hot button topics have been through. out on stage at the st petersburg economic forum for president putin was joined by other major leaders from france japan and china as well as the head of the i.m.f. on friday go has some of the highlights for us. the forms number one congress hall event was precious because rank one in one case rang to politicians from such

a global powerhouse as france russia japan and china talked about everything there is to worry about in international politics today not behind closed doors hot and cold donald trump at one point says no to his talks to kim and decides to ditch the iranian nuclear deal and there you have it the life of vladimir putin and manual macro thanks to the same petersburg international economic forum are sitting shoulder to shoulder and sharing their thoughts on it here's a taste of the highlights. and with that we have to do everything possible to save the deal the u.s. president hasn't closed the doors a negotiation he says he's dissatisfied with a number of issues in the deal but he doesn't exclude talks with iran it's a two way road the door must remain open i think not all is lost you know i offered it isn't trump has lost the battle no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on fulfilling our obligations. trying to hope for peace

and stability on the korean peninsula under no circumstances should we allow water breakout in the region that's why we should promote the process of demilitarization to stick i asked for the summit between north korea and the us i think we have to do everything to make this summit happen so that many issues can be resolved. situation is that everyone plays football but they use the rules of judo that's chaos that's where we're heading to sanction bludgeon is not only being used on russia. but do you have any advice of the world in terms of how to deal with president trump because you were somebody who was. associated with the election of president term. a provocator i've got nothing to do with translation campaign and you are not a national provoke a. decision i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independent there

are things that really tires very closely to the us like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations europe depends on the u.s. in the realm of security but you don't have to worry about that it will help. to provide security for the international economic forum has welcomed fifteen thousand participants from seventy two countries and there are more than a thousand companies and organizations represented along with almost two hundred fifty c.e.o.'s nearly four thousand journalists have also been attending the talks we caught up with a delegate at the form who is investing in russia's aerospace industry but it would russia is an aerospace need that it has developed so many different types of platforms whether it was fixed wing or wrote to the wing and we believe that these opportunities with respect to aerospace usually form a very exciting and exciting you know with respect to it was space manufacturers

but also made to disappear and overall it's service providers so you have a joint there is space working for him as much as we have other works teams that are looking for opportunities of cost kind of addition but also across investment slug just with respect to invest in this coming into russia but also investments that could come into the united out of there because we believe that our mutual benefits for exhorts sides of the question and we're looking forward to use it for that and finding those opportunities that could bring positive contributions that returns to both of our societies. thousands of palestinians gathered along the gaza border on friday and what is the eighth week of anti occupation protests known as the great march of return more than one hundred protesters have been killed by israeli forces since they began
