"we have accomplished a lot," mr trump tweeted today. "massive tax & regulation cuts, military & vets, lower crime & illegal immigration, stronger borders, judgeships, best economy &jobs ever, and much more..." his supporters definitely agree. in 500 days, he has redefined america's relationship with the rest of the world. he's withdrawn the united states from the iran nuclear deal, tpp, the paris climate deal — he has just levied tariffs on america's closest allies. this weekend, ahead of the g7 summit in quebec, the french finance minister quipped that the g7 had become the g6 plus one. the six other countries issued an unprecedented statement expressing "concern and disappointme

here's christian fraser at the summit in brussels. it comes down to two issues.ould call first arrivals, so what you would call first arrivals, so those countries where the asylum seekers are arriving first they want europe to share more of that burden and then you have the battle over secondary arrivals germany saying we have got migrants coming through our borders who have claimed asylum elsewhere and that is not according to the rules. you are supposed to stay in the country were you first claimed asylum and the trouble is you can't solve their problem unless you can't solve their problem unless you solve italy's problem. if germany sends them back without taking a share annually loses twice over. italy is really drawing a line in the sand here and for the way into the meeting today they said it's a watershed moment. how they would one thing. i can remember going to a summit to septembers ago where we will being told about a system which had been agreed which eve ryo ne system which had been agreed which everyone was signed up for. what you're talking about no

christian fraser is in brussels.went long into the night as it often does in this building. they did find an agreement on migration. it falls short of an overall revising of the asylum rules and the eu but what it does do a strike a balance between the demands of the frontier countries like italy, greece and mulder who have taken the bulk of the migrants and the concerns of the likes of germany who wa nt concerns of the likes of germany who wantan end concerns of the likes of germany who want an end to that secondary migration where an asylum seeker like register in one country and travel across the border of another. but they have, but it is an idea to set up these closed processing centres within europe. most likely within the frontier countries. i will be processing of those migrants will be processing of those migrants will be processing of those migrants will be done at the left open and it is on will be done at the left open and it isona will be done at the left open and it is on a voluntary basis. voluntary ap

christian fraser has the latest. good evening.o'clock local time which means there is just 12 hours to this historic summit that will take place tomorrow. donald trump is incompetent move, saying he believes there is an opportunity for historic agreement in singapore. it doesn't mean the americans are going to go soft on north korea. we have had a briefing from the secretary of state mike pompey, who has made it clear unless there is verification of the north korean verification, the maximum pressure will remain in place & shins will stay. but in the context of what will happen tomorrow, he said a framework can be developed. he said there will be an opportunity to the course of the day tomorrow for the two leaders to meet one on one with just the interpreters, which means there will be getting to know you session. extraordinary when a few months ago, kim jong—un was a pariah, isolated internationally. tomorrow he sit alongside a sitting american president. before that meeting, they have been getting together at the ritz hotel on t

my colleague christian fraser is in singapore. great optics and theatre.d denuclearization to be verifiable and irreversible, but there were no concrete indications as to how that would happen? you're quite right, behind all the pageantry, what else do we have it in this 1—page document? quite simply, if you put alongside the agreement signed in 2005 during the six party talks, or alongside the 1992 agreement, all the way back with kim jong—un's father, they look pretty much the same. this is all about process, and i think what disappoints the academic community who are here in force this week, is that the administration themselves, who increased the expectation, people saying, isn't there a back channel, is there something we don't know here? they‘ re channel, is there something we don't know here? they're saying things are going quicker than they might have expected, and yet it looks exactly the same. so what they will need in the same. so what they will need in the weeks and months to come is some commitment from the north korean side for verification.

i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london.trump is about to go into a historic, high stakes summit with a nuclear nation and doesn't think he really needs to prepare. the art of the deal president trusts the power of personal relationships over detailed briefs. that theory of negotiation will be tested when he meets kimjong—un next week in singapore. sitting with the japanese prime minister in the oval office, mr trump said the summit is a go and the preparations are moving ahead well. and then he said this on his own readiness. i think ithink i'm i think i'm very well—prepared, i don't think i have to prepare very much. it is about attitude, a willingness to get things done but i have been prepared for the summit for a long time, as have the other side. i think they have been preparing for a long time also so this isn't a question of preparation, it is a question of whether people want this to happen and we will know that very quickly. joining us now is james clapper, former director of national intelligence and author of fac

over to singapore now and my colleague christian fraser: hello, and welcome to singapore.he eve of something quite unprecedented here in singapore. there's nothing routine about this summit at all. first time a sitting president has meant a north korean leader on and normally there would have been weeks and months of preamble and meetings among lower—level aides before the leaders would even think of coming together, but of course this time it is the other way around. and this time the us administration have had three months to prepare. there is an awful lot that we don't know about the summit. one of the biggest questions is how serious kim jong—un summit. one of the biggest questions is how serious kimjong—un really is about denuclearisation and whether he can meet the american timeline thatis he can meet the american timeline that is being sent out. very strong words today from senior republicans in washington. this time, they are not going to be messed around by the north koreans, this is not going to go on for yea rs, this is not going to go on for years, said senator

let's go up the road because christian fraser is also monitoring events.t, while we are talking about brexit, the eu has other issues to discuss because this immigration issue is becoming a crisis in the eu. it is, and ironically the numbers coming to the eu are down, 114,000 this year, probably about 80,000 by the end of the year, compared to 2016, two .5 million, but what has shifted in europe in the last humans is that more hardline governments are taking a stand on this issue and it has become a domestic issue for angela merkel. before she set off today she said this is a defining moment and many would agree because her sister party wa nt many would agree because her sister party want to turn around those asylu m party want to turn around those asylum seekers who have registered in one country and crossed to germany, but if they do that they have to send them back to italy, and the italian government would be responsible not just for the italian government would be responsible notjust for those arriving on their southern shores and those returning from

but first let's go to singapore with christian fraser.end of the meeting we had a i—page document signed by kim jong—un and meeting we had a i—page document signed by kimjong—un and president trump, and the us diplomats will be attempting to build on it. this is it, it's just over one attempting to build on it. this is it, it'sjust over one page long. you can see donald trump's signature. is that the first time we have seen kim jong—un‘s signature on a document? the text has a firm unwavering commitment to denuclearisation on the north korean side, and from the americans those security guarantees so donald trump has already spoken in interviews today and said they will cease the military exercises in south korea which he has dismissed as provocative, including the flights from guam, and the north korean side saying they will retain the return of fine us soldiers, and an agreement to destroy the engines of the missiles, which they say they will destroy when they return to north korea in the coming weeks. as i say, the theatre entirely grip

erna solberg has been talking to my colleague christian fraser, he started by asking her if she was warmingin would want to —— participate in the eea i do not think we should say no but i have a lwa ys think we should say no but i have always said i do not think that is an option after the principles of why you left white we have brexit. because this is about, to us, the most important part is we will not change the eea to accommodate for entry for britain because for us, the four freedoms are a vital and important, the fact we have this institution and the pillar making decisions outside the national countries to make sure we are follow the same rules and regulations as the same rules and regulations as the rest of the eu and the eu in fa ct the rest of the eu and the eu in fact decide on the directives so we are walking in the same —— at the same tempo. what do you make of labour's new position, they want britain to leave the single market and negotiate a bespoke british single market and that which we would have full access but not be bound by the rules we do not like such as freedom of

erna solberg has been talking to my colleague christian fraser, he started by asking her if she was warmingin the eea, of course i don't think we should say no, but i have also said over time that i don't think thatis said over time that i don't think that is an option that for me is natural after the principles of why we left —— why you left, why we have brexit. not in keeping with the boat? no, for us the most supportive thing is we will not change the eea to accommodate for example britain, because for us the four freedoms are vital and important, the fact we have this institution that makes decisions outside the natural countries to make sure we follow the same rules as the rest of the eu, and that the eu in fact decides on the directive so that we are walking in the same, at the same tempo. you follow all the rules, i am bound to ask you what you make of labour's new position, they want a bespoke single market for britain, under which we would have full access but we wouldn't be bound by the rules that we don't like, such as freedom of movement? how would an eea member feel about that?
