the korean peninsula should be a place of peace free of nuclear weapons and facilities and they agreed with that round of applause my dear fellow koreans over the past three days i and chairman kim talked a lot about denuclearization and dialogue between the north korea and the u.s. the first round of meeting was spent most of the time was spent to discuss denuclearization chairman kim me ok. reaffirmed his commitment to a total dick cheney a clear isolation. if you wish. he said that he want to he wants to focus on economic development once this denuclearization is completed. but these three commitments made between north korea and the u.s. should be implemented by purchase so if there are project corresponding measures from the u.s. for north korea. is surely to continue its denuclearization process like was on decommissioning very. young facility for the first step. on a site which is to be permanently commissioned and the inspection of the outside experts. from north korea. used permanent. destruction which means very fired known and irreversible nuclearization. chairman came also

the leaders wrap up their summit with the promise to bring peace to the korean peninsula. as america deals with the aftermath of florence, today marks the one-year anniversary of hurricane maria, the worst storm to hit puerto rico in a century. we will be looking at the state of the u.s. territory. also coming up this hour, a warning that global economic growth has reached a peak and a reminder of what is at stake in a trade war. we will hear from the oecd's cheese -- chief economic -- economist. a chef from maine finds a more humane way to kill lobsters. that is by first getting them stoned. paris. story live from ♪ theresa may is making a last ditch attempt to win over her fellow eu leaders and convince them her plan for brexit will work. there are six months left until the u.k. is set to leave the the prime minister made her plea in austria. particularly the issue of the is theorder, that biggest sticking point. the rightve it is proposal because it maintains frictionless praise -- trade. only solution that delivers no hard border in ireland and delivers on the vote of

shows them on their own and we agreed to make active efforts to make the korean peninsula the land of peace free of nuclear weapons north and south korean leaders agreed to work towards the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and an oracle this is our answer live from doha also coming up. starvation as an unprecedented level aid agencies say more than five million a yemeni children are at risk. dozens are feared buried after a massive landslide in the philippines the local mayor says it's unlikely any of them will be found alive. and coca-cola says it's considering the use of cannabis in well the strengths. so it's being seen as a landmark moment for the rebuilding of relations between north and south korea on his second day in pyongyang south korea's president. kim jong un signed a raft of agreements and at changing the face of the korean peninsula they agreed to work together to prevent any armed conflict technically north and south korea asked in a war that would mean an end to all hostile actions along the borders and they've also committed to telling the demilitarized zone

to my right we have the chairman and founder of the korean peninsula forum which is a think tank that will focus on strategies for positive change in north korea and the eventual unification of the korean and insula. he previously served as national security adviser to a president of south korea. next to the ambassador is laura rosenberger who is the director for the alliance for security and democracy and a senior fellow of the marshall fund of the united states. she was a senior advisory for hillary clinton for america, served at at she range of positions in the state department and the white house national security council including the director for china and korea. we are extremely happy to have ambassador stevens as the new president at the korea economic institute. ambassador stevens had a distinguished career in the department of state and service are ambassador to the republic of korea. i would like to turn to the summit and maybe we'll start with ambassador john and work and -- with ambassador chun work down. i do think it has done more good than harm to the alliance and to u

saw president moon's comments about that no discussion of removal of the troops are from the korean peninsula, would happen until after the denuclearization is complete, but when we see the language like this, it is important to understand that is what president moon is saying, how do the north koreans read this and understand it? it is a lesson from the past has been that kind of the ambiguity about the words of that kind of the weightt can be significantly pr problematic. for me that relates with the concern that i have about the drive of the declaration toward the end of the war which everybody in the room would well kovmt i worry that it is an opportunity for the north koreans to create leverage and say, okay, we have ended the war, but now you can see the activities conducting over there or or the u.s. is conducting or the troop movements or the exercise small as it may b it is not conducive -- may be, it is not con ducive to tend oof the war. and so that is worrying to the me. and two other quick points on the summit. one is that the very, very quick momentum that we are seeing on econo

forces off the korean peninsula. what would be the tactical and strategic effects of that in your personal opinion? >> again, senator, you are talking about a hypothetical situation. >> not that hypothetical. the president has talked about it in the press. >> well, in a suggestion or a hypothetical of that magnitude, it would be difficult to boil it down to a yes or no question. when faced with the threat that we have there today -- >> you might be asked your professional military opinion in the next two years on whether we should do this. let me give you just where it could be very -- if kim jong-un offers a deal to remove illegally-obtained ballistic missile and nuclear weapons -- illegal -- for lawfully deployed forces on the korean eninstanpe do you think it would be a smart decision? do you think tactically and strategically it would be good for what is going on in the korean peninsula, for our posture not just in the korean peninsula but in the region? >> i will split it into two. tactically without a mention o

troops on the korean peninsula. clearly the threats posed by north korea and the united states and south korea and japan. the strength of our alliance remains critical for years to come. i look forward to hearing from you how to you maintain our alliance with the republic of korea given the diplomatics developments that have occurred. admiral fowler, you'll be facing a different set of challenges. a smaller pool of resources. at the same time, the issue sets that you face are no less challenging or compelling. especially given the current opioid crisis of the united states. you'll play a critical role in the whole government effort to curb the influx of life threatening narcotics into the united states. venezuela poses a significant challenge to the region. and admiral fowler, i look forward to hearing from you. also, admiral fowler, i would like to hear from you how you plan to coordinate command to ensure we're engaged in a global strategy to counter the efforts of russia and china. and, finally, i know you're pre

expand military hostility into the substantial removal of the danger of war across the entire korean peninsula. that is a very broad statement that i believe has significant implications for the alliance. i believe it has significant implications in the north implications in the north korean minds about their placement and their activities and what they may be able to do n the north korean mind. that what president moon is saying is how to the north koreans read this? that is certainly a lesson from the past is that kind of ambiguity about words of that weight. for me, that relates with the concern i have about the drive toward a declaration of the end of the war. while everyone in this room would welcome, i worry it is an opportunity for the north koreans to create leverage and say we have ended the war, but now you see these activities your conducting over there, or the u.s. is conducting or that exercise, small as it may be, is not conducive to the end of the war. those things combined are worrying to me. two other points i would make on the summit. one is that the quick momentum we are see

south korea and his north korean host kim jong un top of mt peck to the highest peak of the korean peninsula that spiritually significant to all koreans into korean relations have seen many false starts with attempts at reconciliation often returning to threats of war but there's a strong sense moon and kim want to forge a bond so strong that they can never slip back to the acrimony of the past. to which we adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal and tragic confrontation and hostility. some weapons facilities will be closed but there's little detail on how to fulfill a more vague promise to make the peninsula nuclear free it's enough though to breathe new life back into the stalled negotiations between north korea and the united states and could lead to a second summit between kim and u.s. president donald trump but many believe to make real progress it's now time for the photo ops to give way to detailed discussion i mean it's going to be really really difficult and the president and kim jong un don't know these things in any kind of detail which is why we keep getting these some

i mean this whole summit has been discussing how to achieve denuclearization in peace on the korean peninsula and as i've said this is if there is such meeting this year the meeting between kim jong un and mourn him what have the achieved throughout these three meetings any has it been any progress . everyone's waiting to see if there is enough progress to restart the talks with the united states the south koreans of traveled north it's a large delegation ahead of this summit we know that they have obviously been in contact with their american counterparts the u.s. special envoy with responsibility for north korea has been in seoul meeting with his counterparts before this delegation went out there so they are well briefed on what is the bottom line for the u.s. what the u.s. will take accept as the barest minimum to get these talks back on track we simply don't know if they have achieved that if and if they have achieve that if they're going to tell us within the next few hours or so but that is the expectation maybe some further commitment from the north koreans even to come up with an inve

detailed and specific procedures that we would be taking to bring an end to the fire on the korean peninsula. also from peck to mountain all the way down to highlight mountain beautiful korean landscape and the nature will protect you from the dangers and the violence of nuclear weapon. and other types of weapons and so that we can test out this beautiful korean nature where descendants for many many years to come. not only that before it becomes too late the pains of the separated families will be and we promised to take a specific actions to bring their union back on the path. toward a new phase for the korean people and for the future of the korean peninsula. and myself have been working together and i think that chairman kim jong un truly deserves our. a round of applause and our deep respect for his passion and enthusiasm. for your mission your work. on young citizens my fellow korean waters and during this visit. i have been able to see the development of north korea the achievement of north korea's development and i have been able to see for myself and feel very deeply about the kind

our top stories this hour the leaders of north and south korea are promising a nuclear free korean peninsula kim jong un says he plans to visit seoul probably before the end of this year yemen's south korean president moon j.n. signed a raft of agreements on the second day summit in pyongyang. their organization save the children says more than five million children in yemen are at risk of starvation around eighty percent of yemen's population get their supplies and aid through the port of a data office supplies through this port could be affected by renewed fighting in the area. and rescue work is a little the philippines are continuing search efforts despite saying the chances of finding any survivors of a massive landslide a bleak typhoon one good which caused the landslide hit the philippines on saturday morning at least eighty one people dozens of others are missing. some breaking news and from malaysia the former prime minister has been detained again and connection with a corruption investigation is going straight to foreign he joins us live from kuala lumpur so was the former prime m

, on the korean peninsula, and at that we are extremely proud of. i am the -- pleased to say that north korea has not conducted a missile test since last november. it has not conducted a nuclear test since last september, and the hostages have been returned to us, and very importantly the remains of american heroes, are now returning home. in june, held a historic summit with chairman kim jong-un in singapore, where he reaffirms his kid minute -- commitment to continue denuclearization. he reiterated that commitment to president moon at the third summit. and to me in a very strong letter form. i think that we will make a deal, but unfortunately to ensure this process continues we must enforce un security council resolutions until denuclearization occurs. however, we have detected that some nations are already violating the sanctions. this includes illegal ship to ship transfers, which must end immediately. the safety of the korean peninsula, the region, and the world depends on full compliance with un security council, resolutions. very, very import

and a landmark deal between the leaders of north and south korea has been signed to make the korean peninsula a nuclear free south korean president from j. and said hey a north korean leader kim jong un agreed that north korea will close its nuclear production facilities. over the past decades confrontation and mostly t. the scribed military relations but with a new agreement we agreed to may. the korean peninsula nuclear free area through various measures to that end exchanges in many areas and levels and communications are going to help our hard work for the reunification. well let's get more on this now we're joined by andre land called professor specializing in north korea at cookman university and he's joining us live from seoul very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as always mr lang so as we've been reporting both leaders once again pledging to denuclearize the potential or and president moon say the north will close its production facilities is that good progress not much progress we have heard it many times or last thirty years i mean the vile the north korean nuclear program wa

reaffirmed hisim commitment to complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the i.c. has assessed north korea possesses nuclear weapons and a ballistic missile force that threatens the united states homeland and its allies in the region. we have also assessed kim jong-un sees nuclear weapons as key to the survival of the regime and his leverage to achieve long-term strategic ambitions. before his declaration at the summit, he repeatedly stated he does not intend to negotiate them away. while north korea offers to work toward to precision of the korean peninsula -- denucl earization of the korean peninsula, we continue to monitor for concrete signs that pyongyang is continued -- is committed to move forward on its agreement to denuclearize. just prior to the singapore summit, north korea destroyed support buildings and at least the entrances to testing tunnels at its nuclear site. north korea also began dismantling a missile engine test stand. fornt of mechanisms underground verification by inspectors, we cannot confirm north korea has taken any other denuclearization

on reducing military tension here on the korean peninsula this is something that the two koreas have been working hard on and that will in include measures like reducing the number of guard posts in the d.m.z. trying to introduce other ways of voiding military conflict between the two koreas in the future and the government here very much believes that this is an important step to the nation and ultimately peace we're now seeing the. parading presumably about to be inspected and things will be played. and when it comes to some of the tangible evidence since panmunjom people talk about the difference between the panmunjom agreement and the agreement signed in singapore between trump and kim that there were things in the pam and john agreement to be implemented that actually had some detail there by comparison the singapore agreement was somewhat flimsy it didn't have specifics and that we have seen during the previous preceding months some of those things being implemented we've had to go putting just last friday of the case song on office to keep constant contact between the north an

comcast doing them a mountain that starts the korean peninsula so for the south koreans there was a place where our country started whatever we have never been there because north korea are still in war. i think it's more symbolic because the both leaders have overcome an obstacle and went together going up the mountain. and hopefully this will bring more cooperation and we'll work ok so we're seeing some important symbolism a lot of smiling and cheering can we also see any further progress being made on key issues like denuclearization. well i think the time with power at this point with very early stage it. has agreed for international pressure led to come to north korea and that we would. a nuclear factory. still means that there are other nuclear weapons so it's preventing future nuclear weapons and north korea already has the technology to make nuclear weapons so. it's not this does not mean that. they still need north korea have the technology have the weapon so we will have to see how much came down it will cooperate jim thank you so much for no it was journalist jen kwan speaking

on the kind of personally i believe that peace on the korean peninsula will be possible because times have changed both leaders are actually trying to find new ways to improve into korean relations had a mom and you can turn your back on them going to and i was even there it took on a man who didn't get anything out of north korea in terms of denuclearization kim jong un only wants to get rid of u.s. military stationed here and destroy our alliance with washington this summer declaration was nonsense and should be nullified. whatever their skepticism efforts are being made to allow international inspectors to observe the dismantling of north korea's main rocket launch site but kim yong says the closure of 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 the relief from sanction

well i really think that unity was the definite message here if the idea of the korean peninsula could be entering a new era you know this mountain is basically known as the setting of a sort of a logical story about the beginning of the korean people so it's a symbol essential of what it means to be korean. and south korea's president has said that he dreams of going to this now and in cuba and by feeling that wish is kind of sending the message that korea may be divided right now but there are still indeed one people right to read this is a take a step because now let's go to give a drunk so i welcome you seem to really be happy day could this be heading to well it's a korean dream if your kids shouldn't in the coming months. you know i'd i'd like to think that it is but it won't be a quick process if we do indeed see you know reunification or of the merging of these two countries and then near future there's a new reasons for that the first one being you know to formally create a peace agreement and to the korean war north and south korea really need more than just themselves to sig

this is a precious start for the complete genie clear as ation of the korean peninsula. south korean officials remain convinced about what they see as the sincerity of north korea on giving up its nuclear weapons they believe that kim jong un accepts the fact that it has to be done sooner rather than later indeed during president trump's first term in office which would mean within the next couple of years but we have still seen a little sign of that happening as these summit gets underway north korea see it still seems to be holding out for some declaration a formal declaration of an end to the korean war and or some relief from sanctions the united states meanwhile seems to still be expecting that there has to be a move towards denuclearization that we haven't seen and moon j.n. as he heads north knows that patience is wearing thin peter rob thank you. the united states has ordered the palestinian mission in washington to close staff bank accounts and clear their offices the trumpet ministration had announced the closure of the palestine liberation organization office i
