donald trump's first term as in twenty twenty one that's the latest messages just south korean diplomats from north korea's leader kim jong un's also hinting at an official and to the korean war and agreeing to a third summit with south korea's president later this month rob mcbride has more from seoul. news that this into korean summit will take place had been expected nonetheless confirmation of it has come as something of a relief given the state of stored relations between pyongyang and washington south korea's security chief. has been briefing the blue house the presidential office here in seoul and also the media the event will take place in pyongyang between the eighteenth and the twentieth of september as also reported that north korea remains very much committed to the whole process for the denuclearization on the long term peace of the korean peninsula state run television in north korea has been showing the meeting between kim jong un and the south korean delegation it has all been smiles and handshakes it is also being confirmed that the south korean delegation has been given a personal message

north korea. the south korean reported would allow inspectors but only if the u.s. takes reciprocal measures, what is the u.s. willing to offer for inspectors? >> well, it depends on inspectors for what. inspectors for certain sites or inspectors for all sites? and so, i think what president trump has said we're not going to do any half measures we have to make sure that we're thorough in this. there are multiple sites in north korea and we need to have inspectors in all mum multiple sites if that is going to happen that is a conversation about what denuclearization is. what the united states is look ing for is denuclearization with complete verification that they are actually stopping their nuclear program. and so that's a longer conversation. what i can say is we've had a win and that we're not having any more ballistic missile test ing. we're trying to focus on the nuclear development to get that to stop as well. i think the idea that the korean leaders are speaking to each other is a win because we want that region to be at peace. so this is all baby steps. but

hostilities against north korea, which means an end to the korean war, which was signed by an armistice, not a peace treaty, back in 1953. and this is something both north korea and southorea have been very clear about. they both want to end the korean war, to have the declaration and to have a peace treaty. now, certainly, so far the u.s. response appears to have been positive to this three-day summit. so president moon will be heading to the u.s. and also to the united nations general assembly knowing there's a positive response, that the u.s. is willing to restart negotiations. but the issue remains the same, it is all about timing and order. the u.s. wants denuclearization and will follow that at the end of the korean war and concessions. north korea wants it exactly the opposite way. paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. >>> thank you. again, following the new supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, if confirmed, he would be the second sitting u.s. supreme court justice accused of sexual misdeeds. >> will history repeat itself almost 30 years after this woman, anita hill, testifiedtho? more on that when we come back here on "cnn newsroom." yes. it intensely moisturizes your

say foreign aid we have just enough time to sneak in issue three north korea chapter two after a recent north south korea summit south korean president moon announced that the era of no war has started today the north and south decided to remove all threats that can cause war from the entire korean peninsula. both countries pledged to bid jointly to host the twenty thirty two summer olympics to create railroad lines between north and south within a year and to discontinue military drills along the military demarcation line by november one among other steps forward this is all welcome news the president tweeted kim jong un has agreed to allow nuclear inspections subject to final negotiations and to permanently dismantle the test site and launch pad in the presence of international experts in the meantime there will be no rocket or nuclear testing hero remains continue being returned home to the united states also north and south korea will file a joint bid to host those olympic games and the president says very exciting so mitch is trump jumping in front of the parade. well that's exactly what he's doing and he likes doing t

north korean leader analysts believe that north korea will want the u.s. to declare a formal end to the korean war possibly demanding a withdrawal of u.s. forces in the south and the relief from sanctions that are hurting north korea's struggling economy president trump has not ruled out making concessions. what was what is what is at work but in the mid-south words off it is very calm these karmarkar so we'll see what happens a similar kind of calmness perhaps between these two leaders on the peak of this sacred spot although both of them and the rest of the world too was surely aware they were standing on a volcano. joining me now is to. south korea ok the three day visit and we saw that the two leaders standing out against the backdrop of the sacred volcano what was the message their leaders were giving by choosing this location. well i really think that unity was the definite message here of the idea the korean peninsula could be entering a new era you know this mountain is basically known as the setting of a sort of myth the logical story about the beginning of the korean people so it's a symbol essential of what it means to be korean. and south korea

south korea into submission. now south korea has a president that does not pro-north korea. it doesn't have to be intimtation. he has to entice the south koreanation, one country, two governments. eric: you think that could happen? >> i think it could happen. they say south korea taken over by the north. that is impossible. i think it is more probable that the south takes over the north than the north takes over the south. eric: really? >> the government in seoul agrees with many objectives in north korea the south korean wants to cut the human rights budget by 92%. they don't want criticism of north korea. eric: they would never acquiesce to kim jong-un completely? >> you would hope so. a lot of conservative south koreans, more than half the population don't want any part of this but they don't really control and drive the political process right now. because it is moon jae-in's control the blue house and most elements of the government. eric: 20 seconds left. any decisions out the summit between moon and kim? >> what we'll see is south korea give more money to north korea in violation of u.n. sanctions and we're going to be very upset. eric

attempt by the south korean government to try and connect the railways on both sides of the demilitarized zone they have quite far actually and they were about to conduct a study in north korea to see whether south korean trains could run there that is currently in corporates and in fact i think everybody recognizes the government here is especially interested in pursuing economic collaboration with north korea and just to point it out on this visit we know there one scene is accompanied by the leaders of some of the top south korean companies including some song and they are to have a separate meeting with a member of the north korean cabinet but they are very much hamstrung and they very much prevented from entering into any concrete agreements because the sanctions are in force there's very little they can do about that a lot of these talks then woods. seemed to be just a theoretical ones they just kind of. had blue sky imagining what a future reunified korea would look like but nonetheless important dialogue important discussion absolutely and at this point i think the government here recognizes dad it's difficult to make further progress on the economic front or on the

there you see president mean jayna south korea addressing what is a record crowd of north koreans i'm told for the first time that the south korean leaders address this number of north korea's in pyongyang and made a stadium on the event of the mass games this is this is day two the end of day two with this historic summit historic as it were this of often used but i think it's really appropriate in this particular instance pride is a correspondent has been monitoring this entire. visit from from from south korea from the south korean capital and rob as i say we're talking our way about this being history in the making and it really really has been big in terms of the symbolism and the gestures. you know it's worth martine just taking a moment just to realize what this is this is the mass games in the may day stadium in pyongyang it is hugely symbolic it involves tens of thousands of people weeks of preparation to set up with this mass displays of synchronized gymnastics turning of cards to create these huge pictures and this in the stands of the stadium there's often with these event

(john) we were both working on that first network that would eventually become verizon's. back then, the idea of a nationwide wireless network was completely unreasonable. but think about how important that first call was to our lives. it opened the door to the

north and south because as you say we've been down this road before with north and south korea. that's right the people of south korea live with the north korean question sometimes it's the north korean crisis from day to day become very much accustomed to it it's almost something that happens in the background here for most people this whole post policy of engagement has been generally well received by most people in south korea but you do get a sense of a bit of summit fatigue creeping in we're in downtown seoul there here as elsewhere there have been some large screens set up we have exhibitions of photographs from previous summit meetings and posters and so on and people are generally approving of it having said that move in himself his popularity it used to be around seventy percent when he was really pushing very in the early stages of this process it has now taken a nosedive something like below fifty percent and that in part is because of disappointment over his economic policy housing prices in seoul and things like that so gradually his popularity has declined and people are asking should you be involved in all the shuttle diplomacy

mediate efforts to denuclearize the korean peninsula rob abroad has more from seoul the big question of course is north korea's denuclearization commitment but south korean officials remain convinced about north korea's sincerity with officials saying only last week that kim jong un accepts the fact he will have to carry out this did you clear a zation during president donald trump's first term in office which presumably means within the next two years that does seem to be a very tall order given the extent of north korea's missile a nuclear programs a but then this whole dialogue back and forth has seen many twists and turns so nobody i think can rule out what the coming week might bring london's mayor has called for a second referendum to decide if the u.k. should leave the european union city cancer's the public should have a say on a final deal that's reached between the two carne is a member of the opposition labor party and has been critical of the government's approach to breaks in the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in march of the leader of france's far right national rally party has called on all nationalist parties to unite and of next ye

denuclearization on the long term peace of the korean peninsula state run television in north korea has been showing the meeting between kim jong un and the south korean delegation it has all been smiles and handshakes it is also being confirmed that the south korean delegation has been given a personal message from kim jong un to convey to the americans and to president donald trump presumably this is a message of goodwill expressing that north korea is still very much wanting to continue the dialogue of peace can continue the dialogue with washington but chong did also expressed the view that kim jong un is feeling a sense of frustration that according to kim it has been north korea that has made a lot of the concessions such as the dismantling of some of its nuclear testing sites and that the international community and for that you can read the united states has not reciprocated in kind. set to make a serious or spending cuts in an effort to stabilize the country spiralling currency crisis after the pass a loss more than half its value this year the government announced plans to slash half of its ministries one of those affected is the mini

north korea, if investment starts to flow in but i was part of an economic forum yesterday were i was with senior businessmen discussing what they would like to see happen in north korea, these are senior south koreanappy to invest. they see this new railroad being planned which would go all the way from south korea into the north and into russia. it would bea the north and into russia. it would be a freight train but there is a lot of work to do, a lot of investment, huge challenges. and i said to them, the big elephant in the room is sanctions because right now, north korea is subject to both us and un international sanctions, no investment can go into that country without those sanctions being lifted. those sanctions will not be lifted until concrete steps are taken to the nuclearised. the two had to go hand—in—hand. the investment will be significant and it will make a huge difference to north korea but many are wondering, would it be the north korean state that would receive that money or the north korean people, if indeed that investment is ever allowed to go forward. there is so much on what ice cube and we are right out of time. the trade row between the united states and china is escalatin

south korean capital seoul. this summit ended as it began rich in symbolism president moon j end of south korea and his north korean host kim jong un top of mt peck to the highest peak of the korean peninsula spiritually significant to all koreans into korean relations have seen many false starts with attempts at reconciliation often returning to threats of war but there's a strong sense moon and kim want to forge a bond so strong that they can never slip back to the acrimony of the past. two inches of the oh we adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal and tragic confrontation and hostility. some weapons facilities will be closed but there's little detail on how to fulfill them or they promise to make the peninsula you clear three it's enough though to breathe new life back into the stalled negotiations between north korea and the united states and could lead to a second summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump but many believe to make real progress it's now time for the photo ops to give way to detailed discussion i mean it's going to be really really difficult and the president and kim jong un

korea right i mean these claims are really asymmetric north korea is under threat but south korea is really not and so north koreans want a peace treaty to validate north korea's existence as a separate distinct korean state from the south and not the sort of average part of south korea that should be reabsorbed as soon as possible do you think that the north and south. on a direct poff to pay so i mean if they look at relations looking better than they have at any time in recent history you've been looking better probably than the last ten years or so but and part that's because the south koreans are making concessions to the north right i mean we can have the peace treaty the real trick is north korea's going to change right will they actually start to remove forces from the demilitarized zone the threaten seoul lacks to give up some nuclear weapons and missiles will they allow inspectors in will they lighten up on human rights which are really atrocious in north korea will they close some gulags i mean we can sign a peace treaty with north korea we can give them economic aid and sanctions or we can do all these

north korea and the u.s. for denuclearization the third is to end military tension and threats of war between south and north korea the big question of course is north korea's denuclearization commitment but south korean officials remain convinced about north korea's sincerity. official saying only last week that kim jong un accepts the fact he will have to carry out this denuclearization during president donald trump's first term in office which presumably means within the next two years that does seem to be a very tall order given the extent of north korea's missile and nuclear programs are but then this whole dialogue back and forth has seen many twists and turns so nobody i think can rule out what the coming week might bring years of conflict and said saddam has left more than half of its twelve million population in need of food aid for survival many have been displaced from their homes and farms and aid organizations say fighting makes it hard to reach those in need have a morgan has more. this is a regular scene as of a hospital in south sudan's capital juba children suffering from severe malnutrition come to this world every day to be treated one of them is agnes a russia's baby girl. she's be

beijing denuclearization will dominate talks at tuesday's summit between the leaders of north and south korea the south korean president and g. and will travel to pyongyang for what will be his third meeting with kim jong il and this year moon is trying to revive stalled talks between north korea and the united states is expected to push kim to make what he calls bold moves towards disposing of his nuclear weapons seoul has played down the chances of any major breakthrough to written off korea of its nuclear program. or don't know you ginger includes mediating and promoting the u.s. north korea talks for d.d. we would try hard to build a new peace poor relationship between the u.s. north korea and regimes and see talks immediately so that north korea can move forward with denuclearization and corresponding measures from the u.s. can be. bright has more on that story for us from seoul. south korean president moon j.n. travels to pyongyang determined to breathe new life into an initiative he largely started and which now seems to be stalled. he knows the price of failure could be a return to the dangerous brink

north korea. and the liaison office to keep officials from the north and south connected. but the last visit to pyongyang by a south korean president was by roh moo hyun eleven years ago and that attempt at reconciliation would ultimately fail. south korea says this time it's different. for the first time key moments from this summit are being beamed live into north korean homes it's one of the ways this summit differs from those of the past say south korean officials who are also hoping this one can succeed where others have failed. but critics believe the nuclear concessions the u.s. wants and what north korea is prepared to give may be too great even for the smiling president mood to deliver mosconi sitting on the stockpile of the nuclear weapons would like to me mice is the amount of sings they will have to surrender to placate dormant prop this has been an impressive display of friendship after so much animosity yet it remains to be seen how much of this is just show and how much is of consequence of macbride al jazeera so. the saudi m.r.v. coalition says it's launched a large scale operation targeting areas under co

of both leaders have been supported by all the people of south and north korea and i'd like to thank. all those unwavering support from both koreanshome and abroad. i mean. this south and north korea started to work closely together. starting from winter olympics. which reached today. and it has. created this reach fruit in autumn. and new history has been realized as it was described in. president moon and i looked back on the improved relations between the two koreas and we promised to open a new era of peace and prosperity by overcoming lots of stumbling blocks with heart to heart dialogues we are going to lead this work to a better relations. and we hope that this relations can be developed a step further through various measures over the past decades confrontation and hostility described our military relations but with a new agreement we agreed to make the korean peninsula. nuclear free area thorough of various measures. to that and. exchanges in many areas and levels. and communications. are going to help our. hard work for the reunification. prison women and i signed september joint declaration which include all this promis

extent it's true that in two thousand and seven north korean leader was not there to greet the south korean president but in two thousand when south koreahad its first summit with north korea and certainly came and it was a big show of support and also a friendship and clearly kim's own is trying to duplicate that moment to add more symbolic way to the location we were talking about to what would lead to some sort of breakthrough from the. and then jay in might bring back from pyongyang that he could then take baby to the americans to get things moving again what would it take to try to bridge the gap between the north koreans and the americans when it comes to restarting talks about. denuclearization so at this point most commentators recognize the u.s. and north korea they're looking for one thing each of us wants north korea to come out and make some kind of sincere concrete gesture toward denuclearization and north korea wants to us to join in on this declaration to end the korean war but unfortunately the ball is now in north korea and responsibility is to bring back some kind of concrete detail commitment commitment from north kor

the headlines on al-jazeera the leaders of north and south korea have signed an agreement to make the korean nuclear free south korean president. agreed that pyongyang will close its nuclear production facility. the north the permanently close its nuclear facilities with inspections from outside experts and the young young nuclear facilities are also to be closed depending on measures taken by the u.s. it's such a great development from our perspective. over the past decades confrontation and hostility described military relations but with this new agreement we agreed to make the korean peninsula a free area through various measures to the exchanges in many areas and communications going to help our hard work for the reunification. china's imposing levies on another sixty billion dollars of american made items the move comes after u.s. president donald trump announced. two hundred billion dollars of chinese products says he's open to talking to beijing but won't let it take advantage of the u.s. . russian president vladimir putin is trying to calm tensions after hours of accusations over the

hope here in the south that it will provide some break in this deadlock especially in the talks between the united states and north korea we know the relationship has been built into korean relationship between north and south korea and we're seeing more evidence of that today an official welcome in pyongyang elizabeth but also in. we said a very friendly one hugs handshakes smiles also breaks with protocol with kim jong un himself coming to the plane the steps of the plane to greet moon j.n. in person this is we are told a break in protocol it's just one of the ways that this summit is different to the previous summits that have taken place under previous presidents and according to the south korean officials it gives hope is evidence that unlike previous summits and initiatives this one might indeed be successful we will wait and see over the coming days but let me bring in as a wanker who here who is a commentator who has followed these various initiatives and also following very closely this particular move by moving jay in the third summit now what can we expect from this summit do you think well this is very much a working visit from ones in of course it's very sym
