mr this elaborate trap that kim has set fortrump, which mrtrump this elaborate trap that kim has setly has walked right into, will continue. because north korea ultimately seeks to buy time and money in the form of sanctions relief and non— sanctions enforcement, to do what he really seeks, which is to grow his very rapidly growing, lethal nuclear and missile capabilities. but is this not good news for president trump as well? we are certainly not seeing the missile testing, we are not seeing the strong language that was coming back and forth between the two countries. on the fundamental level, yes, it is good news. it is better than all the last week saw throughout 2017. but there have been three distinct periods of good ahead of you by north korea. for example, following north korea's first nuclear test in october 2006, north korea did not conduct another nuclear test for the next three yea rs, nuclear test for the next three years, until 2009, nuclear test for the next three years, until2009, and then years, until 2009, and then withheld testing until 2013, and then until 2016. so

north korean leader kim jong un has arrived in beijing where he's due to meet with president xi jinping it is his false visit within a year china as pyongyang's met main ally and the trip comes as compared to continue improving relations with south korea ahead of an expected visit to seoul well let's get more on this i correspond of the vehicle pollens following the story from hong kong as usual the view of the arrival shrouded in secrecy not announced until kim is actually in china what are we expecting from this visit the fourth in the last year. absolutely right elizabeth yes absolutely no information about what this visit entails about their itinerary are why he's even there but what's interesting is that news agencies the chinese news agencies had actually announced that kim jong un would be in beijing which is something that they rarely or have not don't usually do so what we can take this ad is that china wants it known that can jungleland is visiting bayed in beijing and holding talks with xi jinping and this is of course happening at a very important conjecture for china you ha

why do we think that kim has been summoned to the capital? >> reporter: there is always that little bit of mystery when kim jung-un comes to china. it was late last night here that we first got reports that this train had come across the chinese/north korean border and this morning it finally pulled up and chinese media said that kim jung-un was here. as china and north korea usually do, not a lot of details, we haven't even seen any pictures of the two men together as of yet, but we can make an educated guess about why the north korea leader is here. more than likely he is here because of this upcoming summit currently being planned, summit number two if you will, between donald trump and kim jung-un. what we saw back in 20 18 was km jung-un made two separate trips to china before the summit with donald trump in june of last year. so if there is another summit being planned, which we believe there is between the united states and north korea, kim jung-un coming here seeing xi jinping, getting on the same page with his ally. and remember, chin

chairman kim has been -- we've had -- we established a very good relationship. ning. >> it's unclear when or where the president and kim jong-un will meet again, if they meet again. they last met in june at the summit in singapore where they agreed to the broad outlines of a way to get north korea to give up their nuclear weapons program. implementing that has been a challenge as north korea has not shown any significant sign that they're dismantling their nuclear program and ballistic missile program. officials do point out though that over the past year in fact longer than that north korea has refrained from launching missiles or exploding nuclear weapons. the south korean government says it also received a letter from kim jong-un, the president there, and the two want more meetings in 2019, trace. >> trace: rich, kim jong-un has a habit of sending mixed messages and he's still committed to his agreement with the president, right? >> that's right. he says in this address that kim jong-un gave on new year's day, his annual new year's address, he says he's opened

and chairman kim has in this very lovely note that president trump has characterized it in fact actually threatened and said that chairman kim said his own patience will run out if the united states does not keep its own promise of lifting sanctions or keeping its own promises that president trump himself made at the very last meeting. the question becomes, what is the united states willing to give up on our side at this next meeting? that's the real question. >> and what would be the focus of the conversation if north korea already has said, as you just spelled out, you know, you better not do anything further about sanctions, but what would be the goal in that second summit? >> well, i think secretary pompeo has actually been very clear about what the united states wants. and in fact, has laid out essentially exactly the steps that we're willing to take if north korea proceeds with denuclearization. the problem is that i don't think that north korea necessarily is -- has shown any willingness to proceed with its side in terms of denuclearization, and is president trump willing to lift

kim's flattery? our brian todd has been looking into this for us. what are you learning? onight white house sources in korea and analysts are telling us they believe kim jong-un has figured out how to play to president trump's ego and has now engaged in a full-on offensive with that. at the same time kim's regime has been leveling threats against the u.s.. it is a double game with enormous consequences. it just may be the oddest relationship in international relations, the american president repeatedly flattered by and flattering north korea's dictator kim jong-un. >> we're doing very well with north korea, and that's based on relationship also. >> reporter: trump's positive mention of his relationship with kim jong-un today came only 48 hours after the president showed off the latest personal letter he got from the north korean dictator. >> and they've never written letters like that. this letter is a great letter. >> reporter: sources familiar with the contents of kim's letter tell cnn it was, quote, predictably effusive. the view of some in the administration, cnn is to

in the stress of war from both pyongyang and washington but many others given the emphasis to kim jong un has placed on economic development more growth for his country see it as likely that. north korean leader kim jong un is basically setting the stage to blame washington for any failure of the ration the new thriller to say should cox and this allows him basically to turn to partners like russia or china or even south korea and potentially bring them on board as a major part first should things fall through with washington so has anything concrete unmeasurable been achieved since kim jong un and donald trump's historic summit last june. well we've seen a fair amount of injured korean projects between north and south korea going forward there's been far less progress between the united states and company several high level talks been cancelled and yet to be rescheduled in his speech kim as you mentioned says that he wants to meet we don't trump again in the new year and trump has said that he is also interested in that and so what this what many will be looking for out of that summit will b

kim has been legitimized by the meeting with president trump.we are divided from our closest allies, south korea and we have gotten very little if nothing in return. it is good that they stop testing. their program has continued to move forward. they have not removed a single nuclear weapon. there is just a lot of hard work to be done and making grand declarations as opposed to doing the hard work of seeing if we can actually negotiate something is what is missing. >> david's piece points out the timeframe here and this approach to north korea is different than with iran because you are dealing with a regime that has somewhere between 20 and 60 nuclear weapons. but the pushback as you know from the state department where you used to be deputy secretary of state now is rhetoric matters and tone matters. and the escalation has been tampered and the rhetoric has been way toned down. isn't that some progress? >> it is. it's much better that the rhetoric is down. tone does matter. at the end of the day, substance matters more. here is the challenge.

kim's birthday. china is unlikely to give him any unpleasant surprises. the us hasns. preparations are now under way for a second trump kim summit. mr kim has so far made few real concessions. north korea has long used its nuclear weapons to play the big powers off against each other, against each other, precisely the reason it's unlikely to ever give up. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may's brexit plans suffer a blow after mps back an amendment to the finance bill — which would limit spending on no deal preparations without pa rliament‘s permission scotland yard says the police presence outside parliament is to be boosted, after some mps including the conservative anna soubry, experienced abuse and intimidation. departures at heathrow were temporarily suspended earlier after a drone was reported to have been sighted. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. better than yesterday. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. the government is
