9:01 pm
are broadcasting live there a force that is most of this is our to international sometimes plan to have you with us. now the u.s. president says an historic summit with north korea will go ahead in singapore on june twelfth remember what i say we will see what we will see but i think it's going to be a process that we deserve to have i mean we've really deserved they want it we think it's important and i think we would be making a big mistake if we did have it i think we're going to have a relationship and it will start in june when. well donald trump made that announcement after meeting with a north korean envoy in the oval office the official from pyongyang was a former spy chief and general handed over a letter from kim jong un but the contents of that message have not been revealed
9:02 pm
the u. turn on the summit comes a week after trump called off the talks due to what he called open hostility from north korea. and trumps that decision came just hours after the kremlin announced the meeting between putin and kim to take place later this year that was settled to during talks between the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the north korean leader in pyongyang go was with the delegation and again exclusive access to the residence of kim jong. we were told to leave most of our belongings and all our mobile devices declined and now they're taking us somewhere. so we're here in this fandom just to keep our men one photographer and myself rolling and a lot of state in. this area is completely
9:03 pm
deserted and it looks like we're in circling something that appears to be the powers. that be it's only someone told me where exactly we are right now but we are being told to fold us mad because. the group species. i don't really know what exactly this place this but it looks to be the area where it came john whom will be greeting certainly loughborough and the reason why i think so is because just through this door i saw him john wayne sr and she was having some sort of conversation with the guards but nobody speaks english here hello. lou hennessy far as i understand this is sergio. we'll eat.
9:04 pm
i believe this is a bit of a historic moment we still don't know whether the attempt from meeting is going to happen but at least sergey lavrov is here having direct talks with the supreme leader of north korea believe. lisa. talking behind this wall we were asked to wait in this room so let's just have a walk around to take a look at what they have to offer a. dark north korean chocolate and i can tell you that it tastes just like any other. anywhere around the world. so this is how suddenly you get treated to. rooms residents.
9:05 pm
i can barely remember being given such access at other v.i.p.'s locations around the world we were just told. the president which is just outside the doors. of the city to be. interviewed and given the fact that we're inside the residence of the north korean leader kim jong the again i'm just going to say i'm absolutely shocked . it is really disappointing that we won't be able to find out exactly what's being said behind these stories but just a few hours before mr kim and mr lavrov met the russian foreign minister said in making the korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons is a very delicate issue maintains that the interests of all sides must be respected.
9:06 pm
so that said it all ended with. russia so let's see whether the north korean leader will accept the invitation for now we're heading back to the airport in the russian foreign minister's motorcade. right. residence in pyongyang. donald trump was asked for his views on. with kim as answer was i didn't like it that's a quote there you spoke with two experts on that korean affairs who said that the u.s. it does not want to be sidelined in the peace process if you give this president a branding run like call it that snooty b.p. the trump peace plan you're going to have a situation where this president's going to be excited because a legacy issue could he could really use right now and he wants to do what no president in the u.s. as ever done before the u.s.
9:07 pm
wants to demonstrate leadership in this area and not be left on the sidelines so it's an opportunity for him and if he believes the other countries take the lead in the u.s. becomes a side player in peace then you lose that that is. doesn't understand anything beyond the fact that this could be a good photo op and possibly a boon for his ratings the u.s. has never taken north korea very seriously i mean the idea of the greatest military power in the world sitting down with a country that they've already always considered impoverished and backward i think is anathema to many people in washington the united states wants supremacy against china in the region and it wants to maintain its troops in korea as close to china as possible and that has really been a big factor in a long the conflict in korea the message that kim jong un is the ending you know
9:08 pm
he's meeting with lavrov he's meeting with huge and paying. signals to trump you know i have friends in the region and you're the one that is isolating yourself by pulling out of these international agreements and so you know i'll be fine with or without you. the u.s. has a vetoed a u.n. resolution calling for an international force to be deployed to gaza to help protect palestinians to drop was put forward by kuwait at a security council emergency meeting. those against. afterwards u.s. ambassador making sure we propose an alternative resolution condemning the hamas but no other countries gave their support because this resolution is wildly inaccurate in its characterization of recent events in gaza and because it would harm any efforts towards peace the united states will oppose it and will veto it if
9:09 pm
necessary but. there is an alternative we are offering a separate resolution it condemns hamas as indiscriminate firing of rockets against israeli civilian communities this comes after months of deadly unrest on the israeli gaza border on friday one paramedic was reportedly killed and fifteen protesters were injured. tensions are running high where the palestinian protesters who are very close to the front and the israeli forces acting back. around the middle of the pond. and the palestinians. and how many. more do you guys are being fired on cousin protesters as you see. tear gas is
9:10 pm
literally thing the place also targeting the palestinian prime minister and here's another injury that was just right now from that near the fence and as you see tear gas is filling the place or injuries are coming injuries after injuries and most of the injuries today are actually beat and that right leg that's how we saw more than fifty injuries in the right leg that is already snipers continue to target the palestinians with live i mean it's you know and you see at that time i think are ready to take every three that are drives thousands of palestinians continued to participate in the great march of return for more than ten weeks now the palestinians are holding one message to the world that they have the right to demand and they have to right to protest throughout the unrest israel has said its forces are acting in self-defense in its latest tweet the i.d.f. said it will continue to block attempts to damage security infrastructure. well since the start of the so-called march of return two months ago at least one
9:11 pm
hundred sixteen palestinian protesters have been killed by i.d.f. soldiers on the israeli gaza border according to the international red cross thirteen thousand palestinians have been injured and thirty six hundred wounded by live ammunition they're going to say sion is now boosting its medical assistance program in the area initiative will cost more than five million dollars over the next six months it includes two surgical teams for conducting two thousand operations if the bed surgical unit as well as additional paramedics and supplies we spoke to a member of the red cross who describe the humanitarian situation in gaza. the hospital simply cannot grasp or deal with a bigger influx of violence. if we see the same amount of wounded arriving in your speed doors as what we saw on the fourteenth of may and
9:12 pm
would simply have hundreds of patients leading to death as a parking lot. was. tanzan have already lost some of their limbs and became amputees and follow zones have been wounded including several thousands by live ammunition that's something that is overwhelming for any help system in the world the accelerated deterioration of the humanitarian situation has affected all speed tours as i think leave it all clean frustrate troops so the capacity of the system to cope with this review inflicts is extremely limited and this is why v.a. c.r.c. he says well. its capacity to whence where we've as a medical kit needs you're in gaza. i. you know when you are you know spit or exit palestinian records in the speedo and
9:13 pm
in forty minutes eighty were been wounded arrive when you're in chief and in eight hours five hundred cases arrive this is something that is absolutely unmanageable in most schools in paris and new york but even more in gaz are which is already seriously weakened and butter of the place a very difficult humanitarian situation that prevails industry. you on the. humanitarian assistance is very nice and this is why we decided to act even more but on top of that absent of geopolitical or really even decisions the situation we only worsen and worsen. guys are now working on the head of a cliff. the spanish prime minister has been forced out of office after losing
9:14 pm
a no confidence vote in parliament it was filed by the rival socialist party leader who now gets the job the outgoing premier admitted defeat during a parliamentary debate on friday a lobbyist that they look at those from what we all know the no confidence motion is likely to go through which means mr petro sanchez will be the new prime minister and i would like to be the first to congratulate him it will be this chamber that will make the decision and it is up to all of us to abide by the mandate of the popular sovereignty represented here i believe that today we're opening a new peach in the history of our democracy and we will now start reading the first paragraph but i can tell you without hesitation that we in the new government will put the interests of the spanish people above all well socialist party made a predator essentially it is now spain's new prime minister that followed a vote of confidence which he called a week ago in response to a high court ruling which sentenced several leading. figures in marianna.
9:15 pm
people's party to have to jail sentences following a long running corruption scandal including the party's former treasurer it looked like a long shot at first because sentries only commands eighty four six hours of a three hundred fifty member chamber however one by one crucially opposition. parties including social likely rivals all day most fractious regional parties in catalonia and the basque country added up their support and reached the crucial tally of one hundred eighteen votes with just hundred sixty nine in against and that was when marianna finally realised that the game was up. socialist party leader as will be sworn. in his prime minister during the weekend he is a forty six year old former economist put forward the no confidence motion after roy's popular party was embroiled in
9:16 pm
a corruption scandal and now despite receiving large support from smaller opposition parties he is still likely to face some major challenges of the center right citizens party has refused to back sanchez and wants another election and the new prime minister will have to deal with the volatile situation in catalonia the province held an unofficial vote to break away from spain last year historian. believes the catalogs could take advantage of the situation they just have eighty five in paris is a very very. small number of. parliaments and that does a limitation in itself so it is going to be a very very limited government in that respect there's no doubt in catalonia is going to be the one of the hot potato spanish politics in the coming years and for this government as well centive is been saying that he's happy to talk and have a conversation with the new cats on precedent but on the other hand he said that he
9:17 pm
was going to have that conversation within the framework within the reaal of the spanish constitution so it's an opportunity for the prime the pendants party on the other hand. doesn't seem to be very happy to talk. beyond the constitution. italy is also going through a political shake up and just happy content who has never held political office before has been sworn in as the new prime minister after months without a government to separate content now leaves a euro skeptic governing coalition he is a fifty three year old academic and a law professor who is known to have a deflect or red tape and he has already vowed to slash as he put it useless laws. thousands of migrants in paris are being cleared from their makeshift shelters along the city's canals roughly two hundred of them have been resettled in
9:18 pm
a wealthy district in the french capital showed basically went to find out what the residents think about their new neighbors. this is one of the nearly wrecked it camps in paris it's been set up to shelter around a hundred and seventy migrants who are amongst the thousand or so who are cleared from the canals of paris during side waves thousands of migrants had to be camped along the canals for many many months living in squalid conditions with few to no comforts the mayor of paris and the interior minister whom had been embroiled in a war of words over who was responsible for clearing the camps the situation will be repeated indefinitely if measures not taken by local authorities to prevent the camps reappear. in the battle we could have avoided waiting for months to find shelter for those people the suggestion i made to the state was to
9:19 pm
build and reform a welcome center which is really the only be the only option possible if we want to avoid the roadside camps so i'm waiting for the states to get back to me on that. now these migrants are being housed in broad tippling knowing one of paris's wealthiest areas the sixteenth of on d. small it's also home to former president nicholas sarkozy p.s. g.'s back to ponce football stadium and horse which is currently hosting tennis stars from across the globe for the french open some locals aren't over the moon about their new neighbors i think the people here are not very. pretty to see if people are here because they're alfredo afraid that to some some of those be very difficult and some odds are. very very nice i'm sure but a really tough part of them maybe but. you never know how people can react
9:20 pm
you can have some people who react very badly and some good you never know. by the thirty's choose not to most hospitable area because it is populated by many old people who are not really open minded so i think that this area is not the most welcoming would deport us we don't see any changes we don't communicate with migrants because we don't see them at all in the area so i guess to leave autonomous lee this is now the thirty fourth time in three years that my quince have been moved in paris but the problem seems to be cyclic it's never ending i. thought. oh oh. oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh authorities it do to continue to clear out of camps that emerged along paris. canals in the next few days yet with the capital already overflowing and an estimated five hundred and fifty extra my quince arriving every week this
9:21 pm

9:23 pm
have met together through accepted to work together and approved a joint declaration this is an essential important step and which makes what will come next possible. you'd think in reality there were a lot of handshakes forced smiles and photo ops when it came to actually making peace they signed nothing any agreement they had was verbal in diplomacy that means nothing or over but everyone joined in more than a dozen groups and organizations who signed the letter saying that this summit did not represent them we call for a real dialogue focused on the aspirations of libyan society in its aspects nevertheless pundit's macron hailed it as a breakthrough after all getting all these people together under the same roof was an achievement not so much the main actors were there in july last year at this
9:24 pm
same summit also hosted by macros. the courage that is yours today by being here and by agreeing to this joint declaration is historic is to take your risk despite things that could have been against despite the actions of others to work towards a process of national reconciliation and long term peace. and nothing changed but maintaining the brand takes effort macro and really try. to libyan people aspire to safety stability to live better to be able to express their sovereignty yes about safety and stability done a coastal city in libya has been under siege for almost a year now and it's only gotten worse the escalation of fighting there has reached unprecedented levels once the un the libyan national army led by general have
