president trump, president moon or kim jong—un. president trump, president moon or kim jong-un.s on the tarmac at the airport, you mentioned patients fare. what is the patience of the south korean people? how much faith do they have in the president to deliver on the expectations he has created? well, the south korean public at large as you can imagine in any democratic nation is very divided and very diverse. you have president moon's supporters who are divided on the issue. the south korean public has grown more sceptical about north korea's intentions but how the government deals with north korea. they have seen past presidents pay exorbitant amounts of money just seen past presidents pay exorbitant amounts of moneyjust to listen north korean prussic —— corporation on projects service south korean public will really look out for some key su bsta ntive public will really look out for some key substantive details to see if kim jong—un is serious about giving up kim jong—un is serious about giving up nuclear weapons. there are going to bea up nuclear weapons. there are going to

shannon: russia, vladimir putin sent a letter inviting kim jong un to go visit him. ssian leader said kim jong un told her he wants to go without delay at accept the invitation. >> kim jong un is playing great powers against one another. he and his relatives who ran that totalitarian regime have been doing that, played china and russia off of each other and playing them off against us. russia and china indicated they once to reduce or lemonade sanctions before denuclearization and reduce or eliminate our military presence in the peninsula. kim jong un recognizes that is trying to use that. shannon: i want to ask about this report that the palestinians are trying to press criminal charges, war crimes against us officials and soldiers in afghanistan. here is what former ambassador bolton had to say. >> we will not cooperate with the icc. we will provide no assistance to the icc. we will not join the icc. we will let the icc die on its own. for all intents and purposes the icc is already dead to us. shannon: the aclu responding it is misguided and harmful policy that wil

as long as we deny what kim jong-un wants to survive, i think there's a chance. nother element and factor that is consistent with denuclearization is the declaration of what kim jong-un declared as the completion of the program. what that means is that technically, he has now mastered nuclear technology and the means of delivery. even if he gives up his entire nuclear arsenal, he can rebuild it in a year. and if he can declare his intent to give over 200 milligrams of -- for testing. even if you actually had 100 kilograms, of physical -- fissionable material. it's difficult to do. if he believes he has been -- if he believes he can cheat without being detected, then denuclearization means a one to two month retreat. he can do it. even if he shuts down the test site, only if he can hold enough amount of fissionable material. and then he can be remit -- then he can rebuild of nuclear arsenal in a matter of months. so denuclearization means that he is choosing latency of one to two months, at most one year. this is not the same denuclearization we were talking about.

apparently putin has invited kim jong un to go visit him. at kim has told her he wants to go witt delay. >> kim jong un is putting up the great powers against one another. he and his relatives who ran that totalitarian regime over the years have been doing that. they played off china and russia against each other, and now they are playing them off austria's russia and china have already indicated that they want to reduce or eliminate the sanctions before denuclearization. they would also like to reduce or eliminate our presence, military presence, on the peninsula. i mean, kim jong un recognizes outcome he is trying to use that to his advantage. >> shannon: i want to ask you about this report that there are various nations, including the palestinians, that they are trying to press the icc to bring criminal charges, war crimes against u.s. officials on soldiers and afghanistan. here's what former ambassador bolton had to say about whether we'll go along with that. >> we will not cooperate with the icc. we'll provide no assistance to the icc. w

yes, people have talked about kim jong—un going my tapping? ve talked about kimjong—un going to my tapping? yes, people have talked about kim jong—un going to the white house. donald trump floated desperately in passing in singapore. you'll be amazing if he can do united states. that is even further in singapore. he worries about the true and that is one of the reasons why he only said in singapore for a couple of days. i'll be surprised that was that far afield. weight eating the breakthrough has come now? -- why do you think. i would not call it a breakthrough. a meeting does not take us far. ultimately what matters is that the north koreans move nuclear weapons and missiles, and they haven't, despite what the trump administration said. broadly speaking the north is looking very deal. they are looking to talk to us. deal. they are looking to talk to us. they are pushing pretty hard. they would like to me before the elections or something soon. he is facing domestic troubles at home. there is momentum on both sides. both sides are still circli

he has a message for kim jong-un. we learned this from the blue house this afternoon. they were talking that moon and trump when they had that phone call, trump had given moon a message for kim jong-un. there is a message coming back in a couple of hours. dave. >> paula, keep us updated on that story. it is 5:00 p.m. in seoul. >>> a lot of weird things can happen on capitol hill to take on the circus like atmosphere. here is one that takes the cake. watch this. >> 4.25. 5.50. i yield back. >> bravo. well done. >> and then came the applause. why a congress member revived his auctioneering skilling and what came from the big hearing from tech executives. >>> facebook coosheryl sandberg and jack dorsey outlining the steps their companies are taking to tackle disinformation and make political advertising more transparent. >> when bad actors try to use our site, we will block them. when content violates our policies, we will take it down. when our opponents use new techniques, we will share them to strengthen or collective efforts. >> we don't believe we can create a digital

it is up in the air on whether kim jong-un would be attending lunch with moon. at is confirmed is moon jae-in and kim jong-un will have a meeting shortly after lunch and tomorrow as well before their planned joint press conference. himd: what is the point of bringing a lot of business heads to the north? what are we expecting to get as far as business ties are concerned? jihye: right. business executives visiting north korea with moon including the samsung vice president will meet with the north korea vice premier. we will have to see how they go about not upsetting u.s. counterparts in terms of sanctions also. rishaad: thank you, jihye lee. just getting up to speed with this summit taking place between north and south korea and leaders in pyongyang in 11 years. let's find out how this is affecting sentiment. yvonne, costs pretty much flat. is also flat and the 10 year yield is unchanged more or less. people looking at this with a big yawn. yvonne: everybody is waiting for big headlines in the next three days but pretty lackluster session when it comes to south k

laura: what do you think the prospects are for another meeting between president trump and kim jong-un? they have talked about this second meeting. jung: i think it is pretty high. i think president trump has already expressed a willingness to meet with kim, given the compliments heas been paying to kim on twitter and other statements. the ite house announced it i planned for a send summit. -- planning for a second summit. it might happen as early as october before the midrm elections. laura: you were a cia analyst. you were looking at this situation in your old job and giving it a percentage chance, how close are we to a real meaningful peace? jung: depends on how you define peace. from the u.s. perspective, peac is a korean peninsula withoutr nuclapons, meaning north weapons -- south rea does not have nuclear weapons. and that would mean lasting peace. laura: thank you so much, jung pak, for joining us. jung: appreciate it. laura: you are watching "bbc world news america." still to come on tonight's program, president trump tours the carolinas as residents continue to battle the effe

kim jong—un is seen laughing camaraderie between the two sides. g and joking with hands on shoulders, plenty of smiles and handshakes all around. that said, that is similar to the meeting they had back in the spring which led to the talk between the two countries and then a meeting between president trump and kim jong—un. what it is in stark contrast to is the welcome that the us secretary of state received a few months back where he did not get to meet kim jong—un. here we months back where he did not get to meet kimjong—un. here we have months back where he did not get to meet kim jong—un. here we have a special envoy for the south korean president getting a special treatment that that was not extended to the us secretary of state. denuclearisation is still at the top of the agenda for north, south korea and the us? the sticking point is this. what should come first? after the negotiations and after the summit in singapore, what we are seeing is the north demanding an end of war declaration. this two sides are still technically at war after the k

it is seen as a sign of good will from kim jong-un to president trump. e kim serious about moving for with denuclearization or is he trying to manipulate the president. from above the square named after his grandfather, kim jong-un looked pleased, taking in the grand display. hundreds of north korean soldiers goose stepping in perfect cadence, tanks, rocket launchers, mobile machine gun units rolling through the heart of pyongyang. what is not seen in the parade celebrating 70 years of rule by the kim dynasty, long-range ballistic missiles capable of striking the united states, once a staple of the events. >> north korea was sending a message to washington they're trying to have a positive outcome, they're trying to resume denuclearization talks. had he paraded icbms it would have been seen as a slap in the face. >> instead of a slap in the face, the north korean dictators was rewarded with tweets from president trump, pointing out the lack of missiles on display and saying thank you to chairman kim, we will both prove everyone wrong. there is nothing lik

to tell him what kim jong-un had to say. kim jong-un expressed frustration there were actually doubts in the international community that he would do what he promised he would. alison. >> at least these meetings set up more discussions. paula, thank you so much. >>> a lot of good things happen on capitol hill. a lot of odd things as well. here is one for you. >> 425. 450. 475. 525. i yield back. >> a congress member revived his auctioneering skills and what actually came from the big hearing with tech executives. minimums and fees. they seem to be the very foundation of your typical bank. capital one is anything but typical. that's why we designed capital one cafes. you can get savings and checking accounts with no fees or minimums. and one of america's best savings rates. to top it off, you can open one from anywhere in 5 minutes. this isn't a typical bank. this is banking reimagined. what's in your wallet? when mit rocked our world.ailed we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? the

. >> president trump has not let up on punishing sanctions when the president warned kim jong-un that he risked annihilation. >> i have much personal coarse pondens with kim. >> he singled out opec nations. >> they are ripping off the rest of the world and i don't like it and no one should like it. >> ripping them over their pipeline deal with russia. >> germany will become completely dependent on russian energy if it doesn't change course. >> boasting of his accomplishments. >> in less than two years, my administration has established more than almost any administration in the history of our country. didn't expect that reaction, but that's okay. >> the united nations drew criticism when they laughed at him. and the president was criticized for letting bad actors, like russia slide while taking sharp aim at some of our allies. >> brett: denuclearization and a big part of that is kim jong-un. i talked with the south korean president earlier today. yesterday, president trump before the signing of the new trade agreement said this. >> a lot of positive things are happening with sherman k

experts warn that to kim jong-un, reunification means a unified peninsula with kim jong-un in charge,the u.s. and south korea will never agree to. >> brian todd, thank you. >>> breaking news, next. the chairman of the ju dish year committee says he's not delaying monday's hearing on the sexual assault allegation against supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. will his accuser testify? anspla, it could cost you your life. it's time to get out of line with upmc. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die waiting. upmc does more living-donor liver transplants than any other center in the nation. find out more and get out of line today. - [narrator] at athene, we think it's time for the financial world to stop acting the same old way. in today's complex world, you need a partner that is driven to provide you with better solutions for these challenging times, one that is willing to disrupt the industry, and break free from conventional thinking. (thudding) we are a different kind of financial company. we are athene, and we are driven to do more. adults are just kids w

on our moving forward -- kim jong-un are moving forward. ssica: trump is saying that he hopes to meet soon again with kim jong-un. he has been kim jong-un's biggest fan, along i interestiny with president moon of south korea. they have been singing the praises of kim jong-un, saying he is doing a great job and they want to continue working on peace and the do near clears asian. -- denuclearization. outmanuel macron hahas pointed that there have not been concncrete steps yet taken on denuclearization so until then, sanctions will stay in place on north korea. genie: one last word from the u.n., the venezuelan president showed up unexpectedly. watchers are saying this shows quite how desperate he is. after comments from u.s. president donald trump, maduro could easily be toppled in a coup and that he was not necessarily opposed to a meeting with him, he hopped on a plane and flew here unexpectedly to give his u.n. and dress. -- address. we are waiting to find out if they will have a meeting, extraordinarily unlikely at this point. genie: thank

in a press conference immediately after the signing north korean leader kim jong—un spoke about the twoap forward' for peaceful relations. north korean leader kim jong—un pledged to work towards the complete denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. translation: we have a military agreement to finish the decades of the deplorable and tragic history of confrontation and agree on active joint efforts coming forward to rid the korean peninsula of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats. meanwhile, south korean president moonjae—in left the door open for another meeting in seoul. translation: i have asked chairman kim to visit seoul and kim replied to me that he will visit in the near future. let's now go live to the south korean capital and speak to laura becker. laura, as expected, the warm relationship between the two is being conveyed across our screens but tells more about what is actually being achieved. some words certainly that the united states will want to hear. north korea certainly announced by resident moon, north korea is willing to dismantle and destroyed its missile test and lau

a security guarantee is required by kim jong—un they. g—un before they. a security guarantee is required by kim jong—un before that and that seems the sticking point. it now appears to be saying that an end of war declaration does not mean the us would have to withdraw its troops but that has also been a worry and concern by many in the trump administration and south korea that by signing some kind of peace process , that by signing some kind of peace process, peace treaty, that would mean no longer would the us need troops in south korea but to date north korea is saying that is not the case. they are trying to remove the case. they are trying to remove the obstacles to sign a declaration to end the war. the two sides are technically still at war. that is a sticking point. what should come first? should kim jong—un sticking point. what should come first? should kimjong—un hand over his weapons or make sure the declaration come first. south korea also wants an end of war declaration. it has gone on for 68 yea rs. declaration. it has gone

kim jong-un was really taking the reins but i think we really don't understand the ways in which kim jong-un is a very fundamentally different leader than his father and grandfather. a lot of that has become clear in his short tenure. but i think we can't underestimate. and that may play to our advantage. but i think understanding that the north koreans sometimes understand us better than we understand them is certainly important. the other piece that i would say is that every negotiator uses creative ambiguity during the negotiating process to be able to find common ground and reach agreement. the three communiques are one of the best examples of that kind of creative ambiguity where it's actually worked. negotiators have used that kind of ambiguity in search of agreements when it very clearly has come back to bite us, to put a fine point on t. so i think we have to think quite carefully about where and when to go for a more ambiguous kind of framing and where to be really, really clearly precise in what we're hearing. the third point i would say, and maybe we can come back to this,

kim jong il and. what will be going through kim jong un's mind at this time following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather all doing better than him and having these meetings with his opposite number from the south well there have been questions as to whether kim jong un is really different from his predecessors but i think at this point it's safe to say that. one's some kind of change to come to north korea and he has been more serious about this denuclearization process than what we have seen in the past from north korea i'm sure he's also feeling a certain sense of urgency because there's a limited window for north korea to get any kind of concessions from the u.s. there's a mid-term election happening in washington in november and now where we're looking at two months of talking south korea with moon jay and who have been directing negotiating with the north. they seem convinced about the sincerity of the north koreans that they know that the clock is ticking they have this window of trump's first term in office basically two years to give up their nuclear weapons and kim jong un knows tha

of the korean peninsula state run television in north korea has been showing the meeting between kim jong un and the south korean delegation it has all been smiles and handshakes it is also being confirmed that the south korean delegation has been given a personal message from kim jong un to convey to the americans and to president donald trump presumably this is a message of goodwill expressing that north korea is still very much wanting to continue the dialogue of peace can continue the dialogue with washington but chong did also expressed the view that kim jong un is feeling a sense of frustration that according to kim it has been north korea that has made a lot of the concessions such as the dismantling of some of its nuclear testing sites and that the international community and for that you can read the united states has not reciprocated in kind. so what's a blocking progress in the denuclearization discussions since kim and trump's summit in june one sticking point is the north demand for a peace treaty to formally and the korean war the u.s. thinks declaring an end to the war could w

kim jong loon again. well larry i'm questioning why we have to meet with kim jong un when the last time we met with kim jong un trump told us that the problem is solved he literally tweeted out americans you can sleep easy tonight the nuclear threat in north korea is over and the negotiations were a success now of course we all knew that was a sham we all know it's a lie but you know at the time people who brought this up and said i don't know if i would trust these north koreans we were all shouted down we were shouted down by trump and his supporters and here we are a couple of months later shocker there's been no developments with the north koreans there's been no advancements and this is played out exactly as i would have anticipated it playing out kim jong un you could say a lot of things about kim jong un one thing you have to say about him is he's smart he's a very smart guy he's diabolical he's a murderer those are as bad qualities while he is he's a pretty shrewd guy and he knows how to play donald trump like a fiddle and that's exactly what he has done why do we need to meet with him again when th

— korean hanbok dresses and best suits, waving, shouting for unification, as president moon and kim jong—uncoup for kim jong—un. president moon looks happy, he looks relaxed, and there certainly seems to be some chemistry between the two. the problem he has is the interest here in seoul doesn't seem to be as high as previous summits. i mean, we went around having a look, to see if anyone was watching, but that just wasn't happening here in seoul. what we're hearing is that they're more concerned about the economy. so president moon, if he's going to make progress in north korea, he has to do it fast. in fact, he has to do it on this visit. babita, i'm also hearing from the united states overnight, certainly according to lindsey graham, who is a senior senator there, he's been tweeting saying that he fears president moon may be undermining us sanctions on this visit. but, in terms of the optics, it certainly looked good. this week we have been considering some of the most common questions being asked about brexit and its potential impact. today, our correspondent damian grammaticas investiga

again, you need to look for the message from kim jong—un about economic development. itions in the country but the flipside that is that kim jong—un is consistently sending this message to the north korean people that the economy is going to improve. so he is raising the audience to deliver on that promise. we have to see the content of the mass games to also sense that domestic signal. let's get some of the day's other news: the son of brazilian politician jair bolsonaro has said his father is recovering well after he was stabbed on thursday. flavio bolsonaro said his father was walking now able to walk again. the law and order politician has been criticised for making racist and homophobic comments. polls suggest he could do well in 0ctober‘s presidential elections. twenty handguns and almost $10 million worth of class a drugs have been seized by uk border force officers at dover. they were found hidden in a truck carrying photocopier paper. the drugs included ketamine, cocaine and heroin. two men from poland were arrested and will appear in court on monday morning.

presiding over it all was kim jong un.elatively low key parade is a sign he is still interested in pursuing nuclear negotiations with the united states and not wanting to offend the u.s. by flaunting the weapons they demanded he get rid of here's how one expert saw it. >> the parade sends a positive signal that kim jong un is not showing off his nuke his nukes. look, a lot of this is symbolism. a lot of this is politics. >> reporter: still, it seemed that kim jong un was covering all bases. while china's president xi did not show up as expected, his number three did with a new u.s. envoy to north korea arriving in seoul on monday and a summit set for next week in pyongyang with kim and south korea's president moon, more diplomacy looms. let us see, eric, if we can unstick a very stalledded nuclear negotiation process right now. eric: we'll see what happens with that summit. greg, thank you. arresarthel? arthel: joining me now for more on this is christian white, a former state department senior advisor under president bush

he is there to try and talk about the possible denuclearisation on the peninsula with kim jong—un. with kimjong—un. we will bring denuclearisation on the peninsula with kim jong—un. we will bring you right up to date with that after the break. 30 hours after the earthquake that devastated mexico city, rescue teams still have no idea just how many people have died. there is people alive and there is people not alive. we just can help and give them whatever we've got. it looked as though they had come to fight a war, but their mission is to bring peace to east timor, and nowhere on earth needs it more badly. the government's case is being forcefully presented by monsieur badinter, the justice minister. he's campaigned vigorously for abolition, having once witnessed one of his clients being executed. elizabeth seton spent much of her time at this grotto, and every year, hundreds of pilgrimages are made here. now that she's become a saint, it's expected that this area will be inundated with tourists. the mayor and local businessmen regard the anticipated boom as yet another blessing of

but what is important is that you are still seeing political signals by kim jong—un that he wants to of a new kind of relationship between the us and north korea. now boasts chairman kim jong—un and president donald trump have renewed their commitment, they do want to realise that framework. i just wonder what you make of the significance of the first mass games being held since 2013. what do we read into that? well, it's tough, i wish i were there to watch it. i did go, i made a few trips to north korea and and i did see the mass games in their last iteration, two times. so it will be interesting to compare. it is a lot of signalling. the mass games are also important in terms of the domestic signalling, as was the parade. again, we have to look for kim jong—un‘s message about focussing on economic development. laura bicker, your correspondent, made good points, criticising the conditions in the country but the flipside of that is that kim jong—un is consistently sending this message to the north korean people that their economy is going to improve. so he is raising the audience cos

both the president and kim jong-un believe they're the only ones who decide anything. jong-un's case that is true. in the case of the president of the united states, we have checks and balances but he doesn't believe that or cop to that in any way. maybe they could breakthrough in some way. only if there was a team, if there was a plan f there was a detailed way forward. clearly there wasn't any of that so the president got his photo op and really took all of the sanctions off, at least psychologically for enforcing them, because people saw him hug literally kim jong-un. so now we're at a place where north korea actually never committed to denuclearization. they think it means american troops leaving the peninsula and us never having any nuclear weapons anywhere in the area. we mean they should get rid of their nuclear weapons and long range ballistic missiles. the president has appointed an a voice, but he needs a plan and unlike the case when i negotiated, i knew that president clinton and president obama would never pull the rug out from under me. i don't think stev

the us wants kim jong—un to give up his nuclear weapons and an itinerary of what he has and where theyrequired by kim jong—un before that and that seems the main sticking point. kim now appears to be saying that an end of war declaration does not mean the us would have to withdraw its troops but that has also been a worry and concern by many in the trump administration and many in south korea that by signing some kind of peace process, peace treaty, that would mean no longer would the us need troops in south korea but today north korea is saying that is not the case. they are trying to remove the obstacles to sign a declaration to end the war. the two sides are technically still at war. that is a sticking point. what should come first? should kim jong—un hand over his weapons or make sure the declaration come first. south korea also wants an end of war declaration. it has gone on for 68 years. they have signed an agreement to try to do that by the end of the year. now we will see what a third inter—korean summit would achieve. after months of investigation british police have identifie

several agreements aimed at bringing peace to the penciler the summit ended on a high with him and kim jong un keen to show they can overcome obstacles together. visiting the peak of a sacred call canaille in north korea was perhaps a fitting closure to this historic summit north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president moon j in which clearly enjoying the stunning setting at mount. it marked the end of their efforts to calm tensions in the region which included allowing international inspectors to observe the dismantling of north korea's main rocket launch site but kim jong un says shutting down the yongbyon nuclear plant depends on reciprocal steps by the united states what he means by that is unclear. back in june donald trump became the first u.s. president to meet with a north korean leader analysts believe that north korea will want the u.s. to declare a formal end to the korean war possibly demanding a withdrawal of u.s. forces in the south and a relief from sanctions that are hurting north korea's struggling economy. president trump has not ruled out making concessions. wha

talks in pyongyang promising a new korean peninsula free of war are new era for into korean history kim jong un and mungy in announce that they've signed an agreement to make the korean peninsula nuclear free in a statement north korea's leader kim jong un promised to open a new era of peace and prosperity by having heart to heart dialogue won mungy in the south korean leader announced that the north east to permanently close its nuclear facility and allow outside inspectors they also announced that family reunions will resume and. ending there by saying that he hoped that the north koreans and the americans can resume their communications and have another round of summit meeting let's go to rob mcgrath our correspondent in seoul who's also been listening in rob quite a number of announcements there especially from the south korean leader. yes interesting stuff ali incredibly upbeat according to the two leaders they have achieved a great breakthrough this has been a great success as you said there when it came especially to the whole question of denuclearization they say that they have a way fo

todd: kim jong un and president moon agreeing to that during a second day of meetings.illian: a massive manhunt for an illegal immigrant accused of killing a mother of 5. police fighting martha's body near dead end road in dallas, texas. investigators believe her boyfriend, and illegal immigrants, ernest hernandez, killed her and escaped to mexico. her daughter left to care for for her four younger siblings. >> i never expected this. i never pictured myself organizing my own mom's funeral. this is very tough. jillian: there's a $5000 reward for information. todd: the woman who kidnapped elizabeth smart will be released from prison at any moment, walking free five years early after her sentence was calculated. smart things she should be kept behind bars calling her danger to the public and detailing the horrors of her 9-month long abduction 15 years ago. >> he encouraged him to rape me, she would sit next to me and the side of her body was touching me. she knew what was going on. todd: smart was 14 years old when brian mitchell kidnapped her in utah. he is serving a life

this is the kim jong—un this is the kimjong—un is hoping for a repeat of, another face—to—face meetingpresident of the united states. the white house secretary told reporters the north korean leader made the request in a letter to donald trump. it was a very warm, very positive letter. we won't release a full letter. we won't release a full letter u nless letter. we won't release a full letter unless the north korean leader agrees that we should. the primary purpose of the letter was to request and look to schedule another meeting with the president, which we are open to and are already in the process of co—ordinating that. negotiations over the regime's nuclear programme appeared to have stalled, following the two leaders historic summit in singapore in june. us secretary of state mike pompeo even cancelling scheduled trip to north korea last month. and in august, a report commissioned by the un security council found north korea had not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating un sanctions are. but the white house insists this letter is evidence progress in washington's

with al-jazeera these are our top stories after a historic three days with north korea's kim jong un the president of south korea is back on home soil and says kim wants a second summit with u.s. president donald trump as soon as possible. the two leaders visited the top of the region's most sacred mountain in north korea. since the into korean relationship is in line with the development of the relationship between the u.s. and north korea pyongyang asked us to be the mediator they propose to work closely with south korea as well i think the u.s. should understand the position of north korea and resume the talks as soon as possible i believe the accomplishments made at the summit this time will lead to the progress of the talks european union leaders are meeting in austria with migration and breck's it high on the agenda that we're meeting without purses prime minister trees are made to discuss the next steps on the exit from the block and also be negotiating measures to prevent migrants and refugees from entering. malaysia's former prime minister has appeared in court again to face
