president moonjae—in and kim jong-un in panmunjom.ecause essentially, apart from some statements, kim jong—un and has really given up nothing in order to get to the summit. well, i believe still the announcement made by pyongyang on the 20th of april, which includes the suspension of the nuclear testing and missile launchers, as well as the shutdown of the nuclear testing site in the northern part of north korea speaks volumes about the direction in which the north koreans will go in terms of denuclearisation and when they come to talks with us and the americans. are of course we will not come to any conclusions regarding the denuclearisation. we will be serious, we will be very stubborn and talking with the north koreans of the importance of the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. president trump will follow friday's summit with a summit of his own. a lot of people are very surprised that he agreed to this. how surprised was your government? well personally, i was not surprised. because in a sense, president trump has been very

moonjae—in hasn't started to affect the elite.lowing this diplomacy to start on an issue that was on security related. transforming that into a broader security dialogue. providing that venue, it does open up doors for north korea to take a different posture and provides the friends we re posture and provides the friends were hoping to see last year as tensions were rising. china as well, by being able to do more and put more pressure on north korea, certainly there was a lot of incentive for north korea. came back to the table on its own terms as well. in a position of more strength. and at the debt ——a position where it feels it has more strategic parity with the big powers in order to have more balanced negotiations. jenny, it's all good and well that we are seeing some rapid progress and probably going to see some smiles and handshakes today. that's not to say that the aren't unresolved issues. north korea is accused of some serious human rights abuse and some critics of the summit have been saying that moonjae—in should bring

and then an unexpected twist, as kim grabbed president moonjae—in by the hand.h korean territory. the opening of this summit has been heavy with symbolism — the military honour guard dressed in traditional korean outfits, not south korean military uniforms. on the wall of the meeting room, a huge painting of the mount paektu, an emblem of national unity. and, as the meeting opened, both leaders spoke passionately of the need for peace. translation: you are the first one who crossed the demarcation line, mr kim, the committee chairperson. this is a symbol of the peace. translation: i came here with a mindset to send a starting signal at this threshold of a new history, of peace and prosperity. the mood of optimism here is palpable, but warm words will not be enough to bring peace. it is barely four months since kimjong—un launched this huge new missile, perhaps capable of hitting the united states. ahead of the summit, he promised to stop further nuclear and long—range missile testing, but that is very far short of a real commitment to negotiate away this nuclear

i think moonjae—in has set trump up very well.ed to succeed because i think if this meeting that we hope is coming up between trump and kim, which is really the meeting between the wild card and the enigma, so we have no idea what is going to happen there, i think there is now an expectation that something has to come out of it. i think that in itself is important. so i think we should be optimistic, in fact. alex, you were nodding to our lot of that. i think that is absolutely right. i have no doubt that the critics who are saying one year ago that this was a sort of thing president trump would make a hash of will be manning the barricades to award him a nobel prize as a result of his efforts here. i thought the president was rightly generous in his acknowledgement of the chinese in getting the north koreans to the table like this, it is behind the smiles, kim has systematically, he enters predecessors, they have systematically start their population, i've used them, preston, denied the freedom of speech and so forth. —— abused t

time to welcome the news channel viewers for a moment of history, one way or the other, as president moonjae—inf south korea and kimjong—un of north korea stand to attention, states in hand, as they mark the ceremonial planting of a pine tree which we are told is 65 yea rs a pine tree which we are told is 65 years old, which takes us back to the conclusion of the korean war, the conclusion of the korean war, the signing of the armistice. a full peace deal has never been achieved since then for these two countries, this is recognised as they stand on the demarcation line is very much a symbolic moment of coming together, at least in a sense of a spirit of determination to find peace. iamjoined by determination to find peace. i am joined by our asia editor celia hatton, looking at the way in which this is playing out. we are looking from afar and there is a great sense of positivism, optimism, hope. we have heard from the white house that there is hope that this is leading to something bigger still under discussion about north korea's nuclear plans and programme is on the table. it looks very pos

and here we are few months later with the two sides, president moonjae—in from south korea, meeting hison. counterpart, the north korean leader kim jong on. there will come face to face at the demarcation line in the demilitarised zone. and kimjong—un will become the first north korean leader to step foot on south korean soil. —— kim jong—un. leader to step foot on south korean soil. —— kimjong—un. but there is a big but here because one of the things not on the agenda is the alleged abuse — the alleged human rights abuses taking place in north korea. i have been out with one group that is concerned that this is about politics and not the people. huddled on the shoreline, a group of activists tried to send a message to north korea. the final and off rice into the bottles to feed them for a week. the other contents, such as wetlands and usb sticks are as important as the food, she says. they put key pop music and south korean soap operas is on the usb sticks. many defectors themselves hope to encourage people to the fact were to rise up against the programme. —— k—pop. translation: the p

lingering handshake on friday between north korea's leader kim jong—un and president of the south, moonjae—inhe most heavily fortified border in the world. there was talk of peace, of working together to rid the peninsula of nuclear weapons — albeit without many specifics. maria, how optimistic are you feeling about that development? it was an amazing moment, to see the two men holding hands and skipping over the concrete barrier like two boys in kindergarten. only months after kim is shooting missiles towards japan and trump is calling him little rocket man and boasting about his big button. so i think optimism has its own momentum and i think it is important. i think there is so much we don't know, we know we have been somewhere like this before but not quite the same. i do not think kim has spoken before about complete denuclearisation, so it could be a moment and i think moonjae—in has set trump up very well. he has set him up to need to succeed because if this meeting that we hope is coming up between trump and kim, which is the meeting between the wild card and the enigma, i think there

we have some news coming from the office of moonjae—in.e—in that he will close the country's nuclear test site next month. that is what is called. that is the report coming out. our correspondence is tweeting. north korea will also change its time zone to match that of south korea. they are currently to match that of south korea. they a re currently half to match that of south korea. they are currently half an hour apart. this might not seem like a big deal but it is symbolic because it was in 2015 at north korea switched to a new time zone. in fact, it appears to be on the same time zone. they are saying they will put their clocks forward 30 minutes. being in alignment with the south. these are the two pieces of news. the first one is the nuclear test site will be closed. that is going to happen in may. that north korea will revert to having the same time zone as south korea. this is the news coming out in the past few minutes. armenia's political turmoil continues, with three days to go until the country's parliament is due to choose a n

this is one paper with a big picture of kimjong—un and moonjae—in.at we now know that people in north korea are getting to see these pictures for the first time. the biggest official paper showing every scene from yesterday's summit and publishing in full the declaration that the two leaders signed at the end of the summit yesterday, in which includes the words commitment to seek complete denuclearisation of the peninsular. that is in there without any comment. as far as interpretation of this is going, here in the south i think one would describe it as optimism but cautious optimism. and in some of the papers, scepticism as well. in a popular paper here, there is commentary saying it was never made public what kim's idea of denuclearisation is and how and when denuclearisation will be accomplished. that sums up a lot of the mood here. a real sense that an opportunity has opened up a dialogue to go forward and four apiece to be achieved, but scepticism about what the north korean leader ‘s intentions are in particular regarding his nuclear weapons. a

he'd tweeted that he'd had a long and very good phone conversation with the south korean president moonjae—ining the ground—breaking summit between the leaders of the two koreas. at a rally in michigan, mr trump told his supporters about the role he played in making friday's historic summit come about. it started with the olympics, because, frankly, the olympics was not going to have a lot of people, and all of a sudden north korea called in and said, "you know, we'd love to participate in the olympics." everybody said, "excuse me?!" but that was a good thing, it was a great thing. and they went from having a real potential disaster. you know, they worked on it for 15 years to make it great, and they did a greatjob, south korea did a greatjob. they didn't have people. who was going to go? all of a sudden they had a tremendous olympics, very, very successful. we are doing things that are very good. we will have a meeting of the next three orfour weeks. very important meeting. the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula, of north korea, denuke, denuke. but we will see how it goes. and again, w
