says that that pump aoe had not been expecting to meet with the north korean leader this was not the same a sort of public display of affection that we saw from last month's summit between trump and kim jong un that was a warm greeting between the two nations leaders followed by trump's tweet that claimed that there the north korea was and in the president's words no longer a nuclear threat very quickly that assertion was contradicted by a leaked u.s. intelligence report in which the conclusion was that north korea had no intention to fully denuclearize and intelligence sources pointed to evidence that north korea was trying to conceal nuclear weapons and production facilities now trump has not publicly responded to that lead us intelligence report nor has he said anything yet about these statements made about palm pales visit in which it was a regrettable meeting in the words of north korea and knowing how unpredictable the leaders of both countries are it is anyone's guess where we are going forward very much castro in washington where now at least eight people have been killed and

yes, words matter, and it ld n't be a president who was i allusive words, has to walk back statements aoe kind ofs a half walk back but actions matter more, when we're talking about actions, we're talking about actions of president trump and how he dlt with russia, he's been a tough presid on russia by his actions >> those are the words we heard sarah hackabee-sanders say, we heard him. you know, still though, when yoe hear a presi talking about both sides of hne ck, who ared we supposeo believe? what's our take on th >> the white house can't get the story straight. the bottom line is russia attacked the united states not were you nuclear weapons and guns, but unless presideta trump nd up to russia we need congress to refill the responsibility and do that >> we heard she gopay his actions shown he's been tough on russia's do you buy that >> the fact that sanctions haven't been fully enforced yet, that's a key shortcoming. we're callingn a special counci independence and iegrity act which would hel protect robert mueller's investigation and future special counsel having the senate forgn re

with my pump aoe saying that these talks were productive and today a north korean state media those same talks were called regrettable in a statement that was attributed to an unnamed government spokes person north korean media went on to accuse the us of the train the spirit of the summit last month between kim jong un and president donald trump in singapore and the statement said that the u.s. in these talks with my pump a zero we're making one sided and in their words robber like demands that may rattle the willingness of north korea to denuclearize now all of this must feel viewed at with some skepticism how much of this description is sincere and how much is posturing and certainly the united states has done its own share of posturing in these talks leading up to the singapore a summit we saw trump threaten to cancel that meeting with conjunction in fact he did cancel it only to bring it back shortly afterwards and so the question now is how may trump react to these latest description of the meeting with pompei are coming from the north korean side and if things are still on track a

if my pump aoe was really the negotiating position john bolton and mike has to the negotiating table in pyongyang whereby the united states says that d.p. r. k. north korea unilaterally surrender and then it may be perhaps the u.s. will change its policy of hostility and a policy whereby uses economic sanctions to deprive north koreans of food and medicine then was my pay was negotiating position that won't work for the d.p. r. k. and b b r k said it was regrettable that the us adopted this position this negotiating position but what the d.v.r. case also said is that they still want friendly relations with the united states and they've had to denuclearization in the korean peninsula was a step by step confidence building and. synchronized approach by both sides actually. at least one palestinian was killed and twenty four injured during further protests at the gaza border on friday the demonstrations were part of the already months long great march of return witnesses say israeli soldiers opened fire when protesters approached the fence over israel says a militant tried to throw an e

so we just heard pump aoe talking about new farsi language t.v. channel by be be broadcasting for iran so do you believe that this tool will be powerful in reaching u.s. aims. i'm not sure it will i think the symbolism of giving this speech at the reagan library was that he was drawing an analogy to the the fall of communism and somehow that he says regime change is not the goal but frankly from what he describes it it seems to me that it amounts to regime change would have to be an entirely different mode of governance in iran from what he describes to satisfy what he laid out so i think he's basically saying that we want to support a popular movement to bring down the ayatollah as regime in the same way that communism fell in soviet union in the eastern bloc and that radio broadcasting would be a catalyst for that. so apart from the new media outlet mentioned that they are asking all the countries to join america and their effort to deal with the iranian regime and interesting thought but. you can can we actually call this a campaign i mean reut

make sure he's going to have the summit he wants and not what john bolton wanderers are not what pomp aoe wants not one always confused nikki haley wants he's going to have his own there and they're terrified that when he goes into that room with just interpreters and his deep state handlers not there you know to handle him as it were to get there he he you know what he might do we don't know what he might do but there. terrified of that possibility ad him threatening you know threatening that germany that there are a captive of russia right when the opposite is actually far closer to the truth or threatening to pull out of nato right just in the last week they were in the united kingdom where he's having a discussion with the prime minister and saying that boris johnson bojo anyway could put it in there too that he but i don't see what. what either side can give to the other i don't see anything ok because there's a lot maybe because there's no preparation for it but i don't i don't see. how i don't. have good results but this was that we were no november election what need no. meeting w

supports nato certainly secretary of defense jim matters does and i'm sure secretary of state mike pump aoe does but i think the quote the president is ambivalent for the reasons that you cited i think he looks askance at multilateral agreements he cancelled the transpacific trade pact the paris climate accord he has proved problems with nafta or your brand new deal he pulled out of the iran joint comprehensive plan of action which is a strategic at. masterfully iran had no nuclear weapons gave up ninety percent seventy percent of its fissile material kim jong il and great deal he's done nothing correct and so the need for multi-lateralism is important and i think mr trump tends to reject that you wrote a thoughtful pre summit column how much of what happened in brussels surprised you zero while zero. in fact in some ways i think it was a bit worse than i had thought because i at least hoped that the european leaders would have shown a little bit more resilient and backbone but they work out and they made very very polite recline has instead of telling mr trump now listen here we are.

so it's five aside on each side at this lunch president trump joined by secretary state might pump aoe and others and president putin joined by foreign minister sergei lavrov reporters were allowed in at the very start of that lunch and they managed to get one question to president trump asking him how the one on one went. to. really good everybody. while at a luncheon. i think is coming to an end pretty soon so we don't think it will be as long as that one on one meeting that took place between the two presidents let me tell you what is next on the agenda because it's when we hopefully will find out what has happened behind closed doors and that's a relatively short news conference with statements from both presidents we think some questions what we were told earlier on is two questions from the russian side two questions from the u.s. side the timings of all not kept to the original schedule so i can't tell you or timing but we could possibly see that this half hour that press conference where we'll find out a little bit more about what the two have talked about in this meeting that

we'll expect to be coming up after this meeting that has expanded to include john bolton secretary pump aoe and others what about the comments that both both leaders made to the press beforehand they were quite vague on what was on the agenda what do you make of the fact that we know so little about what they're actually discussing that's right and that's going to be very troubling for people who would like the president to have committed to raising difficult issues with president putin about election interference about the situation in ukraine and of course president trump didn't commit before this meeting to raising those issues and so when we didn't hear it as they headed into the meeting it was clear that he wanted to keep things smooth. before they started and the fact that the meeting has gone on two hours much longer than expected one on one means that there is a whole host of issues that we may never know about. president trump and president putin will of course put their own spin on things but given what we know of both these leaders it will be difficult to discern what was actuall

when pump aoe talks about how do you hope that other countries will join us to this pressure em pay me i mean literally on one hand count the number of countries that support the united states withdraw from the nuclear weapons agreement we're talking about israel u.a.e. saudi arabia that's it russia china u.k. france all the rest of the world owes the united states on withdrawal from the. right there if i could jump it can the u.s. then shut down the round so oil exports the sort of zero option that some officials went oh about this is it this is even more dangerous right because rouhani has already that has already stated that kind of shutdown with the declaration of war against iran and iran with then respond in an asymmetrical way that we saw from the one nine hundred eighty s. and basically you know maybe tanker and soon the straits of hormuz and falls you know world economic crisis skyrocketed in the price of oil. oh i will leave it there for now thanks how much has health. now hundreds of thousands of children in china may have been given sub standard vaccines health regulators f

there the russian media characterizing the meeting and we have no readout to dispute any of that pump aoe did get to talk about ending north korea's nuclear weapons program and about curbing iran's influence around the middle east but at the end the hearings focus returned to tromp statements in helsinki and the panel's top democrat was having none of that please don't talk to me about politics. on talk about politics if president obama did what president trump did in helsinki i'd be peeling you off the capitol stealing money from pails job on wednesday was to defend president trump's russian appalled saying he was very glamorous in his testimony but it doesn't appear he changed any minds at least on the senate panel rosalind's we're al-jazeera capitol hill. a group of republican politicians has moved to impeach the man overseeing the russia investigation for the u.s. department of justice the group's accusing deputy attorney general rod rosenstein of withholding information from congress as a sign has been a frequent republican target because he appointed robert mueller a special counsel
