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 multi

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 the words were flying around again and all the rhetoric but the next day the white house pyongya

secretary of state how do you think people will interpret though the commitment the d.p. r. k. is giving to work towards complete denuclearization rather than to complete denuclearize ation. yes what should say first of all regards to the u.s. secretary of state he is now going to head towards south korea to give a full briefing of what happened in singapore but regards to the working towards denuclearization people will be a bit concerned about that they want denuclearization to happen they know that this is potentially going to be a long process but ideally they would like that to be sped up so there will be some skepticism about that. thanks so much wayne hey there let's recap the latest developments donald trump and kim jong un summit in singapore the two leaders signed described as a comprehensive joint document they've committed to establish new relations the u.s. and north korea will join efforts to build a lasting and stable peace in the area north korea says it's committed to working towards the complete denuclearize age of the korean peninsula and both countries have

peace and 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. and signed the declaration even though there was not much substance to the declaration and self where they will take a very long process for whatever they agreed in the declaration to be achieved all year and into reality victor we're expecting actually don't try to go before the cameras talk to the media any time so that there's going to go over to it because maybe he will put some more meat on the bones here of what practically this is going to mean how these practical steps are going to be taken forward but they chatted for thirty eight hours behind the scenes that just an interpreter there no one else been great to be a fly on the wall for her but they said but i wonder what america did offer to north korea and we we think that america's offered paralleled security here it must have been something that north korea really has gone for here they must really believe what's being offered. well for today let me oversize again let is let us give hope some chance lead is very optimistic for what the whole future may hold however also please allow me to emphasize that the united states does not hav

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

conference that will take about will take place about eleven o'clock in the morning here in moscow again and a historic meeting the first time ever the president of the d.p. r. k. and the united states have ever met and of course big press availability as you can see the press following behind there now the leaders have chosen this meeting of the united states wants to have the complete denuclearization of the 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 t

d.p. r. k. he said that the meeting could pave the way for a diplomatic process that brings real change in the relationship between the two countries of the two leaders coming together talking the north koreans being willing to talk the united states etc. and so singapore was a good beginning good for singapore but for the understanding the agreement the relationship shall we say that was begun in singapore for all of this to endure there will need to be a plan in place to monitor the implementation who will be watching this who will make certain that each side does what it promised to do along the way so i believe this can be the beginning. of an enduring process but it's going to require a very careful and active monitoring mechanism. the british government has conceded that parliament will have some say in a deal to leave the european union speech seen as a defeat for hardbacks it has he want to leave the european customs union but he doesn't resolve the lack of clarity of what bracks it will actually look like laurence leamer points and clarity he spoke about all about courage it's tortuously slow it is painful to watch so many times the british government has said it wants to do one thing over bricks
