s max hoffman. this was the handshake the world had been waiting for so much hinged on the bilateral meeting of the 2 presidents that you could almost hear a sigh of relief going through world markets when donald trump said it with this we had a great meeting and we will be continuing to negotiate and i promise that for at least the time being we're not going to be lifting tariffs on china and addition of the focus here of course being on the wording tremendous or at least the time being $50000000000.00 at last year's g 20 summit donald trump said something very similar but that didn't keep us chinese relations from deteriorating afterwards the e.u. had much more solid results to share with the world after 20 years of negotiating finally an agreement with the south american trade bloc. the steve. real message in support of open. sustainable peace 3 because 2 it creates with troops. for all concerned it shows that in the spirit of modes agreements can be reached mutability should compromises can be f

max hoffman thank you very much. well after leaving osaka and the g 20 summit donald trump has arrived in south korea he said he may meet with north korean leader kim jong un when he goes to the de-militarized zone between the 2 states tomorrow landed at osan air force base just south of seoul in a tweet he offered to shake hands with the north korean dictator at the d.m.z. he said john young has been receptive to the idea but that nothing had yet been confirmed and trump says he also raised the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi with saudi arabia's crown prince at the g. 20 summit but trump said quote no one blames crown prince mohammed bin solomon foot for the show he step. the crown prince on the sidelines of the event days after a u.n. expert again criticize the saudi government response to the show these murders inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october the u.n. report recommends that bin solomon and other close allies should be investigated over the case what you've done for women. now are so

a lot opt for for the stakes are very high it were in osaka or did obvious correspond max hoffman is max all eyes on president donald trump today. well the official agenda is still set by japan which is reno has the presidency here and in fact a very difficult task because 1st of all they want to focus on the things that are traditional to those g 20 meetings for example reforming the world trade organization one of the pillars of the molokai lateral trading system in the world something that the u.s. president opposes also they want to focus on how to fight climate change or plastic pollution something that the u.s. president opposes but since the u.s. president is the president of the most powerful nation in the world what he tweets or ses of course matters and he's not a supporter of the multilateral framework he is a supporter of bilateral agreements that's what many people are focusing on those bilateral meetings he's having including the one on saturday that was just mentioned in that report between himself and the chinese president xi jinping. but now max one of the highlights

today's events i have our political correspondents emanuel chase and hans frond in the studio and max hoffman is standing by for us at the american cemetery max can you tell us what's happening where you are. the 2 presidents u.s. president donald trump and fresh president threaded and one of my call just arrived and so the ceremony has started as we understand it will start with the 2 him so the american one and the french one and later 5 american veterans d.-day veterans will receive the prestigious legion of honor medal from him and call that is a big deal here in france and we're also looking forward to the speeches of the 2 presidents who had some well clashes in the last years although their relationship seemed to have a good start when trump came into office it has deteriorated in the last years the 2 really not being on the same page on a number of issues so how they will smooth this over for the special occasion will be very interesting ok among other important speeches today involving the french president and the british prime minister theresa may for the unveiling of a memorial to

under increasing pressure but can the g 20 form still make a difference max hoffman put the question to now you can he's the dean of the asian development bank institute a tokyo based think tank. professor you're c.e.o. it seems so hard nowadays to get a compromise at the g. 20 is this institution becoming obsolete i think the g 20 i'm looking for the large globe i have presented to us and looking for the solutions for entire growth so right after the my shock everyone you're looking for the same direction but now each country has their own interest one country's exporting more and the success of the g 20 in or soka is coming from prime minister abbott was focusing much more on consensus agreement issues rather than bite at that issue why do you qualify this is a success they didn't decide anything new they're just guarding the status quo no i don't think so they're looking at sustainable development goals and ways spastics you to be mitigated and father more female participation into education labor market and digital information and so on there are lots of put aggress we can discus

we're not doing that where we're going to work with jonah on where we left off to see if we can max hoffman is covering the g 20 summit and he joins us now from osaka so max we just heard donald trump describing his talks with the chinese president xi jinping as being excellent but did the 2 of them actually manage to settle any of their differences on trade you know i have a deja vu and we were at exactly the same position basically about have a year ago in going to cyrus at the last 20 summit when she didn't pin that donald trump also met and said they had good talks and now they would work things out but that didn't happen so it reminds me of that situation of course good news here no tears for the time being on additional chinese goods from the americans that will send a sigh of relief through world markets but this is not the trade agreement that the 2 are looking for that will take much longer well they will have to talk about the details where they will have to find compromise and it might go downhill just as it went last. well max and the other significant development at the summit

s max hoffman is covering the g. 20 summit and he joins us now from osaka for more so max u.s. president donald trump has described his talks with chinese president xi jinping as excellent so does that mean they managed to settle their differences on trade. well the good news is apparently they have as you just said refrain from additional tariffs on additional goods you know that the u.s. president donald trump had threatened to impose tariffs on goods worth $300000000000.00 from china and that seems to be off the table for now you described this correctly as a truce but to really work out a trade agreement as both parties are attempting to do it will take much longer and i would like to remind everybody here we were at exactly this point after the g. 20 summit in borders iris at the end of last year where things seem to be looking quite well quite good between the 2 nations and after the summit everything went downhill so although donald trump is saying this that it's excellent it doesn't really mean that there will be success at the end of the road well max it may or may not

max hoffman is covering the g 20 summit and he joins us now from osaka hello to you max so the u.s. president described his talks with pain china's president as excellent but did they even manage to settle any of their differences on trade. they settled one issue that was probably going to send a sigh of relief through world markets which is they're going to hold off slapping their mutual goods with further tariffs something that donald trump the us president threatened to do i think as early as as late as last week wanting to. put tariffs on $300000000000.00 worth of chinese goods and that would have really made a difference on world trade so this seems to be off the table for now which is the important word here because i remember marianna after the one as i was g. 20 summit last year we were exactly at this point and then things started going downhill from there so it really really matters what kind of trade agreement they will reach if they reach a trade agreement within the next weeks because that's much more complicated than sitting down together here at the g. 20 summit shaki

and to use the max hoffman was at today's come around commemorations rather and spoke to d.-day veteran frank de vito who was taking part in a ceremony earlier today when you look out to the sea here what do you see. i see a lot of dead bodies. i see a lot of dead bodies still today. i took back to england 300 dead bodies american soldiers. is this still something you think about every day today or has it passed. you leave the war never leaves you you'll always be in war all the rest of your life till they put you in that box. and what does it mean to you to be here today. well i'm very proud. proud to be amongst all these beautiful people of all nationalities. right there is a question i wanted. a veteran of d.-day for a long time would you have done it if you had known what you were getting into. course because i would have done it and i didn't know what i was getting into. films. people thought that they were knew what was going on here so you weren't surprised by the magnitude but. then when i was when i saw the purchase of the concentration camps i knew i was out of sau

continue for a while it appears before the laying of the reasons for the veterans begins let's go to a max hoffman are our correspondents standing by for us on location for our special coverage of this event max we've heard from both presidents honoring the sacrifices of the american veterans in the highest terms thanking them and the other allies forces as well for for making today's freedoms the ones we enjoy every day possible . yes and it seemed like a matter of marcotte the more political speech compared to donald trump very memorable speeches in their own respect both of them in many way my call and goal mentioned institutions like nato and the united nations saying that they were constructed in the ass to martha of world war 2 to make europe and the world in general a safer place and that could have been understood or interpreted at least as a direct jab maybe towards donald trump who is known not to be a fan of those institutions on the other hand donald trump the u.s. president more emotional speech he mentioned some of the veterans by name for example roy lambert a an army medic who was

our correspondent max hoffman as in it was saka and joins us now from there good to see you max a lot to discuss at this g. 20 summit what's taking center stage. japan is trying to focus more on the traditional g 20 topics remember this is an institution that was founded to advance multilateral trade in the world so they wanted to talk about things like reform and reforming the world trade organization but with the 2 biggest world economies china and the u.s. team the ring on the edge of a full blown trade war of course that's taking center stage and specifically the bilateral meeting between u.s. president donald trump and chinese president xi jinping on saturday a lot is riding on that bilateral meeting you just mentioned i understand that the chinese and americans have been working a lot on trying to resolve their dispute much progress has been made use do you think there's going to be the final push here at this g. 20 to get get a deal. well there's 2 things we need to look at when we talk about trade as i just mentioned multilateral side and we're hearing from the sherpa of the p

correspondent to max hoffman is that in one sentence this. the japanese presidency is desperately trying to focus on well traditional g 20 topics such as the reform of the world trade organization or projects to fight climate change but what might happen here and also is that all of this is overshadowed by the big trump trump does not believe in multilateral institutions in fact he's coming here to have a series of bilateral meetings and one of them is highly anticipated with the chinese president xi on saturday as we know both countries on the edge of a full fledged trade war and the outcome of that bilateral meeting might determine the fate of world trade in the next month's up or down. in the reporting from saka and i had the g. 20 summit there are more concerns about the health of a german chancellor i'm going to medical after she was seen shaking at a function with the german president from qantas timeline to latest for attending a ceremony with outgoing justice minister caterina bali and this comes just 8 days after a similar incident i
