yes, people have talked about kimjong—un going to my tapping? 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 circling each other gold waiting fridge over to make the first move on

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

we had a dangerous situation, and kimjong un doesn't lose from that, does he.e two sides together, at least he staved off the prospect of war for the moment. i guess the question for president who is if the prospect of war re—emerges, is president who is if the prospect of war re—emerges, is he seemed to have been duped with photos of him hugging kimjong un, going to these parades, does it looked like he was, you know, fooled by the norse, if things don't work out as he wants them to with diplomacy? we are keeping an eye on the press conference at the white house where president by the polish by minister have not yet started taking questions. as soon as he starts taking will go to that. as soon as he starts taking will go to that. the head of germany's domestic intelligence service has been removed from his post. hans—georg maasen had been facing intense criticism over his response to recent unrest in the eastern city of chemnitz. he questioned reports about far—right extremists randomly attacking immigrants in the city, saying there was good reason to believe

our top story: the agreements which have been signed by kimjong—un our top story: the agreements whichh korea. the number of agreements signed. what we know is they have said they will agree to... agree a way forward to achieve denuclearisation, and the north has a p pa re ntly denuclearisation, and the north has apparently agreed to permanently close a missile engine test site and launch facility —— president moon. in the presence of relevant experts from relevant nations. that is the key phrase. they also have agreed a number of things on trade between the two countries, bringing the two careers closer together economically. you will remember president moon set out with the goal of getting progress on moving the denuclearisation talks further down the line. good morning. there is some disturbed and potentially dangerous weather on the way through the day ahead. the met office has issued an amber be prepared warning for the strength of the wind across northern ireland and central and southern parts of scotland, and it's all down to storm ali. the satellite picture shows how it develop

the more ministerial work, secretary of state pompeo not getting a meeting with kimjong—un, a pompeo im jong—un, a follow—up meeting cancelled, to agree on further steps it seems it has to be at this level of the two leaders meeting. the problem is, what will north korea agreed to and what is washington really to give up? sanctions lifting, other steps that will curtail missile capabilities. that is the big question. thank you for joining us today. let's take a look at some of the day's other news: and first to the syrian province of idlib where more than 30,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. syrian government forces and their russian allies resumed their bombardment of the rebel—held enclave last week. now the un is warning that a large—scale military offensive to recapture idlib could provoke the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the twenty—first century. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell reports there is no tranquility in rural idlib. rescue workers rush to help survivors of another blast. this injured boy, another casualty of the intense bombardment by syr

i would be very surprised if we heard kimjong—un say something is specific in public. y that kim jong—un has committed himself to denuclearisation in very broad terms. perhaps the specifics will come behind closed doors and that is important to do. again, specifics and details are really keep to this summer. we cannot afford to have another debrief where the south koreans just another debrief where the south koreansjust come another debrief where the south koreans just come back with some vague statement on some commitment towards denuclearisation. there are many questions. the other thing that we many questions. the other thing that we will be looking out for today and tomorrow, especially when any agreement comes out, is what types of inter— korean cooperation projects and exchanges will a resume? will any of these run up against sanctions, international sanctions? also, in terms of reducing military tensions, we expect them to make some sort of announcement on an agreement. what does that mean? of course we all wa nt does that mean? of course we all want the two kore
