d.p. r. k. they did the d.p. r. k. has made significant efforts now that the world will see or the world will look to the united states and see what will the united states actually do in receptor occasion and that's what the d.p. r. k. wants a synchronized reciprocal step by step approach well as say there's been a lot of talk going on the smalling since one o'clock your time the jew a press conference president trump at least expected to talk to reporters in a round about just under three hours time if it all goes to plan it seems they've done so far will be coming back to just a bit don't go away i want to come back to just a minute or two before i've taken our viewers a brian through the air i'm on here colorable check in with you later as well so let's look at the timeline those talks were announced in march but in may kim voiced his anger over military drills between south korea around the u.s. as we've heard threaten to call it all off nine days after that trumpet council meeting out the blue cues in kim of hostility

d.p. r. k. has been consistent the south koreans have been consistent in conjunction of draw and have driven this process donald trump is playing catch up here and of course donald trump watches as donald trump would want to be able to take credit for it he wants to make history he's be set by domestic political problems he needs this more than anything the relationship of forces has shifted in the last two years trump coming here to singapore and making this kind of positive step with the d.p. r. k. is a reflection of that change relationship of we're says. ok that's sort of for the morning next just two days left between the biggest extravaganza in football kicks off in russia the twenty eight hundred fifty world cup most of the teams now are at the host cities with a much as will take place and the fans are already out in force. a team of russian artists me to find their own way to welcome players they created mosaic port traits of football stars lionel messi and mohamed salah good only it took t

d.p. r. k. has been consistent the south koreans have been consistent. draw and driven this process donald trump is playing catch up here and of course donald trump watches it as donald trump would want to be able to take credit for it he wants to make history he's be said by domestic political problems he needs this more than anything the relationship of forces has shifted in the last two years trump coming here to singapore in making this kind of positive step with the d.p. r. k. is a reflection of their change relationship before says. the news that it's just two days left before the biggest extravaganza of football kicks off in russia the twenty eight hundred fifty world cup most of the teams are at the host cities where the matches will be taking place and fans are already out in force to. now i'm a periphery of all this a lot of people get involved in different ways a team of russian artists of their own way to welcome players look at our greatness they created these a mosaic portrayed football stars little messi and mohammed sally took them two mo

d.p. r. k. obviously they have an answer but you know the most important thing you should be focusing on is that donald trump has said categorically the u.s. is not going to pay for the economic rebuilding of the d.p. r. k. and that's going to be on the table that's what the d.p. r. k. wants in return for whatever denuclearization they're talking about there's of course no idea of what that means or what timetable it is but if there's going to be money on the table in south korea obviously japan will be consulted china and probably russia putting in i think donald trump wants to say that this was a monetary coup that he was you know king of the deal but he got everyone else to pay for the d.p. r. k. to denuclearize but that means that china is going to you know want some things in return and obviously ending the war games that missiles troop deployments the issues with taiwan south china seas containment these are all going to be on that table how. challenging is it to negotiate something like this with donald trump simply based on the fact that he seems to be in credibly and unpredictable for example you know s

d.p. r. k. commits to work towards complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula well our xandra nabhan has been the following of those talks from singapore welcome alexandra you were able to put more flesh on the fake bones of what appears to have been a growing. well that the commenced that was signed today from was a bold change but had legs detail that's something we have to stress here. and each of the four of main points you talked about can be found in if we in previous agreements with north korea some of them even in a stronger way let's take the most important the key issue here the new clear ization and the paper one commits to work towards a complete stand you close asian of north korea however we don't know what specific steps the north korean regime is going to take and what is the timetable there we don't know how the u.s. is going to verify that that is indeed happened the president just said during the press conference that it's going to happen very soon and that he believes that kim jong il is really willing to give up his nuclear weapons stressed and that's what he's feeli

d.p. r. k. side by side i mean you know somebody that has been working for this peace process this is it's an extraordinary feat and i'm glad that you mention the flags you weren't the only one who found that a real this is twitter who says just so their photo op and although i'm not american it's so jarring to me to see the north korean flag alongside the u.s. symbolic mostly but jarring i want to just flip through a couple of other comments on how surreal this was to other people in these off to you with me on twitter says the first time i heard cam's voice i believe this was a historic talk a brilliant move for the world for world peace and he's really just noting you don't actually hear the north korean leader leader in western media another person watching live on you tube sighs after finding out that no other american president has ever met with a north korean leader troubles doing pretty well i think so kimberly talk to us about the the feeling of this being so surreal to so many people. well certainly it was surreal even last evening about twenty four hours ago here in singapore when there was a bi

perhaps reunification of the korean peninsula will be the impact it has on the people of south and north korea we do not trust the d.p. r. k. regime for good reasons they do not trust us the president has signaled that this is going to be a process we will likely see multiple summit meetings it is very difficult to add new issues to the agenda later on in the process it is a very important for human rights to be on the table right now although it is a little disappointing i have to say that human rights was not one of the issues included in the joint statement nevertheless it is good to know that president trump raised the issue with kim jong un i mean i'm assuming that groups like yours another human rights groups have tried to pressure the white house has it just fallen on deaf ears. no president trump addressed the egregious human rights situation of north korea in the speech she gave before the south korean national assembly in the two thousand and seventeen in the speech she gave before the u.n. general assembly and also in his state of the union address remember that a north korean escapee the disabled escapee activi

d.p. r. k. commits to work towards complete they need clear isolation of the korean peninsula mr trump has declared that today's summit is a turning point in relations with north korea many experts however are criticizing the declaration the head of the nobel prize winning the nuclear disarmament group i can bat feen as weighed in on twitter she said it lacks agreement on nuclear disarmament issues she's written that this all looked more like a big welcome party to the nuclear armed club robert kelly is a korea analyst and based in south korea he also expressed disappointment he tweeted wow if this is it this is depressing this is even thinner than most skeptics anticipated singapore then rejoined correspondent bastin hearted welcome basta see if you could possible flesh on what the president and chairman have agreed to. yeah that's exactly that's you know the good. flesh on the on the bones of this agreement that's what everyone's looking for and that's why everyone's so disappointed because it's all all only vague terms and nothing that wasn't really that wasn't really there before it was is all

d.p. r. k. the deeper. kay wants to have some sanctions relief of the tensions have existed since the korean war in fact there has never been a treaty that ended the korean war so technically these two leaders are at war with each other and one of the things that is hoped to come out of this meeting is the end in an official ending of that war so that there can be a reunification of the korean peninsula. again you're looking at live pictures from singapore where kim jong un the president of the d.p. r. k. and the president united states donald trump have just met and have shaken hands for the first time and it seems like they're both in a jew overall mood both smiling both in good spirits a lot of tension building up to the summit and there you can see the press as they push their way in to try and get some in images and some pictures of the two leaders as they are getting ready to be seated in their venue to have talks with each other. now the leaders have already spent the day in singapore enjoying some down time before the summit got underway kim jong un went on a late night city tour large crowds turned out t

will be given ideas about north korea's nuclear program it has been a secret and want to seems even the cia don't know everything where the d.p. r. k. is it's officially called is regarded as one of the most repressive nations in the world the u.n. estimates are around one hundred thousand political prisoners detained in camps while dozens of foreigners are prevented from leaving way reports now from seoul. in south korea there are many emotions about the changing relationship with north korea among small vocal nationalist groups there is suspicion about pyongyang's motives concerned even paranoid that south korea is about to be engulfed by communism away from the loud rallies there are those for whom the cross border and gauge went off as a glimmer of hope in what is often seemed a hopeless situation you don't it's hard to expect too much but we need to see how it goes with putting all if it's together in the hope that no issues will be discussed in this summit with north korea those issues are abductions and other human rights abuses that victims and their families believe need to be on the agenda in singapore one inch holes fath

d.p. r. k. will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime in the korean peninsula now as part of that agreement north korea has reaffirmed its commitment to working toward. complete denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula in what one would you know assumed to be a show of good faith u.s. president trump agreed to call off the war games the united states and south korea had scheduled for this summer sounds reasonable to me hey you know but. yeah apparently not apparently not but it is a significant concession and it's interesting for the president of the united states to refer to us south korean joint military exercises as provocative because really that's the point of view of the north koreans if we withdraw our forces and that's part of the deal i can't support the deal that will lead to more conflict not less our forces in south korea are stabilizing asia they're trying to drive the side of asia china it is and that would be a bad deal and those military exercises serve multiple purposes not only do they deter aggression by the north but they serve other interests in the asian pacific region so i think ta

korea remote monitoring by my office has found little change in the country's long standing grave and systematic violations of human rights the people of the d.p. r. k. risk their lives and their dignity for the exercise of their fundamental human rights including seeking to leave the country and communicating with individuals abroad. while i regret the persistent lack of cooperation with the country mandatory the d p r k's recent engagement to the human rights mechanisms through one special rapporteur visit and treaty body reviews is encouraging i call on the authorities to step up that in gauging and significantly and with selectivity including cooperation with the country. the experience of my office has repeatedly demonstrated that making human rights part of peace talks contributes to meaningful and sustainable peace in the long term. doron means open for greater engagement and cooperation israel continues to deny access to the occupied palestinian territory by the special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the palestinian territory occupied since nine hundred sixty seven this has been the case for three successive holders of the ma

d.p. r. k. from all over the world who traveled there bassett hers of people training in agriculture and otherwise i think we will see a loosening i think that the country has suffered incredible trauma from a terrible war and repeating it over and over again and i think the justification for for isolating or clamping down has to do with the state of war and i'm drawing a lot of vaclav havel who said the future of human kind if it still exists that there is no other alternative than to shift our rails attention from what separates us to what unites us and to me that's what tonight represents a real chance for the world to say let's start dealing in things that unite us and not let the past dictate us forgive the past move forward let go of the tug of war and we have a real opportunity here so english crossed eric you bring up a good point about the d.p. r. k. not being as isolated as people believe i mean we've both travel to the region and we've both met people around the world who are from north korea. so. if we do see an agreement emerge. in which the u.s. gives security guarantees to north korea will some in the united states administration be unhappy a
