mr president. going into these talks with kim jong un, mr president. g into these talks with kimjong un, do mr president. going into these talks with kim jong un, do you have a clear objective of what you want to get out of them? i have a clear objective, but i have to say that it is going to be something that almost a lwa ys is going to be something that almost always be spur—of—the—moment. you don't know, this has not been done before, at this level. this is a leader who really is an unknown personality, people don't know much about him. i think that he is going to surprise on the up side, very much on the up side. we will see, but never been done, never been tested. many people, i am talking about world leaders who have been right next to him, have never met him. so we are going in, with a very positive spirit, i think very well prepared, i think and by the way, we have worked very well with their people. they have many people in shanghai, our people have been singapore, our people have been working very very well with the representatives of north ko

mr. president, i yield the floor. mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the democrat leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, talks between president trump and chairman kim in singapore, as we all know, concluded yesterday. certainly, we are all heartened to see the two leaders engage in a dialogue. we feel much better when both president trump and chairman kim are talking rather than trading insults and military threats. we all want this diplomacy to succeed. but now that the dust is settling after the singapore summit, three things are clear. first, chairman kim achieved far more than president trump did. second, our adversaries, russia and china, have gained while our allies like south korea and japan have lost footing and some degree of faith in america's reliability. and third, the summit was much more show than sub stance, what the texans call all cattle, no hat. let me elaborate. in past agreements with north korea, the united states won far stronger language on denuclearization, and we won specific measures to ensure that north korea was taking steps in that direction. of course, even with the stronger language, the north korean regime repeatedly

president negotiating with mr kim mr kim for the past few years has has been consolidating his power domestically he has the support of the mccann isms of the workers' party the military and so you have a special moment in history where you have a president who is keen on transactional diplomacy to react according to scenario and you have a north korean leader who has the full support of his party and his military coming together now what president tran has mentioned in the press conference is that technically speaking it will take time some experts he called it says that it may take a decade of more or more because it takes time to verify each or stage and there are good mechanical and physical processes involved so that the lady is purely technical and not really going back on political or geopolitical reasons that's what he mentioned in the this afternoon victor you have been basically saying about china has been pushing all the parties to negotiate a settlement but there are those who say that on the other hand china could be the one to lose from. it when north korea and the u.s.

mr. president, how is the meeting going so far, sir? any progress, mr. president? >> chairman kim, will you denuclearize? mr. presiden's it going so far, sir. >> very good. >> what do you think? >> very, very good. excellent relationship. thank you. thank you very much. >> chairman kim, will you denuclearize? >> that's when the two leaders were about to leave for a meeting with aides and then it's from there to a working lunch. our sit rep, our situation report is unchanged. we don't know anything more from the inside. we do have some folks standing by with a lot of experience with north korea specifically. our next guest has been -- let's run through it, congressman, a governor, an ambassador, and an cabinet secretary,long-time former governor of new mexico bill richardson is one of the new americans alive today who have negotiated with the north and successfully brought people out of there. governor if you had just a moment to take the president aside, give him a nugget, kernel of truth to remember during his talks with kim jong-un, what would it have been? >> well, it would hav

domestic servants. they cook and clean for their employers — and are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. but as secunder kermani has been investigating for our world — there are rarely consequences for those who cause them harm. his programme contains some scenes which viewers may find upsetting. for losing a broom, this ten—year—old girl says she was beaten and her hands were burned. this 16—year—old boy died allegedly after being assaulted again and again. their horrific stories highlight the plight of some children working as servants in the homes of the rich and powerful in pakistan. but their desperately poor families often choose not to pursue the cases... meaning those accused of abuse regularly go unpunished. wherever you go in pakistan, you can see young children working to support their families. but others are less visible, working behind closed doors in upmarket neighbourhoods. tens of thousands of children are sent by their impoverished families to work as domestic servants in homes across pakistan. some of them are aged as young as eight or nine years old. and in most of the country, there is simply no law whatsoever preventing anyone from hiring them.

agreed to talk to us. the couple employing her have denied mistreating tayyaba. but she told me she was beaten by the wife just for losing a broom. the children here are divided into houses, each with a specific carer, or mother, to look after them. azmat has been helping tayya ba recover from her ordeal. tayyaba's best friend in the home is another former child maid, fatimah. slightly older and more confident, she has taken tayyaba under her wing. tayyaba grew up in a small village about 200 miles south of islamabad. i went to meet her father to find out why the ten—year—old had to leave home to go and work for a judge and his wife. children aren't legally allowed to work in most businesses in pakistan, but despite calls from campaigners, in the vast majority of the country there is no ban on them working inside homes. children aren't legally allowed to work in most businesses in pakistan, but despite calls from campaigners, in the vast majority of the country there is no ban on them working inside homes. there are thought to be over 250,000 children working as domestic servants. some child maids end up working in homes alongside their mothers, orfind jobs in their own neighbourhood. but for others it is much more organised. there are employment agents acting as middlemen, and we are on our way now to meet one of them. irshad bibi runs an employment agency on the outskirts of islamabad. amidst the tangled streets of the historic centre of lahore, we discovered one of the most shocking examples of what can happen to children who are domestic servants. 16—year—old akhtar died while working in the home of a local politician and her daughter. his uncle was the first from the family to recover the body. the home belongs to shahjahan, a local politician from the ruling party. she, though, was never accused of any wrongdoing. also living there was her daughter fauzia. both women deny abusing akhtar and say he died from an infection. but akhtar‘s 12—year—old sister also worked there. she said she and her brother were regularly beaten by the politician's daughter. the police registered a case against fauzia for killing akhtar and assaulting his sister lastjuly. the postmortem on akhtar‘s body revealed he had been beaten repeatedly with a blunt instrument. 25 injuries. the lawyer who represented his father claims the evidence was clear—cut. he agreed to take on the case for free, as long as akhtar‘s father promised to pursue a trial and not take an out—of—court settlement. before the trial had even really started, akhter‘s father announced he no longer wanted to pursue the case. most criminal cases in pakistan aren't filed by the state but by the victims or theirfamilies. that means they have the right to drop the charges and to reach a settlement. all they have to do is tell the court that they forgive a suspect in the name of god. usually the real reason, though, is that they are being paid off. i visited akhter‘s family home last october. they were building an extension — according to some relatives with money from a settlement, though they deny receiving everything. at the time, they refused to talk to me. but now i am on my way back to meet the head of the village, who says he was a witness to at least some negotiations. muhammad ali claims representatives of fauzia's family came to see him it is hard to pin down exactly what happened next. different people allege different things about who received money to drop the case. but none of it can be proved, and fauzia's family deny paying anybody anything. i wanted to speak to akhter‘s father directly. this is where akhter‘s body now lies, largely forgotten amidst the negotiations, squabbling, and accusations of money. it would be easy to blame these families for seeming to give up on the chance ofjustice for their dead children in exchange for a few thousand dollars. but when you see the kind of poverty that they live in, then perhaps it becomes completely understandable. the problem is that if no one is ever punished for these crimes, they'll never stop. i wanted to ask about fauzia about the allegations against her myself, but couldn't get an answer. fauzia livesjust up the road here. we have had no response to our allegations. we have been told that at the time of akhter‘s death, fauzia was working as a some sort of teacher. and now because there was no conviction, there is nothing preventing fauzia from working with children again. fauzia's mother, who we've been told that with her at the time — even though she was not accused of any abuse — is still a member of the regional assembly. i managed to track her down. so she was just saying that she's out of breath, that she's a heart patient and can barely breathe. 0bviously didn't want to enter our questions. but it is really hard to understand how she could live in the same house as her daughter and his young boy akhter and not know what is going on. that is what we wanted to ask her about. in the case of 10—year—old tayyaba, there was a conviction. maheen zafar was accused of assault and her husband, judge raja khurram ali, of cruelty to a child. before the trial, tayyaba told the police that she had been beaten. when she came to give evidence, she initially confidently repeated the claims, but under cross—examination, tayya ba contradicted herself and then withdrew them. the court apparently noticed a change in her behaviour. in the notes here, it says that whatever the defence lawyers were asking her, she responded with a simple "yes sir." tayyaba's father, with help his lawyer, had tried to get the charges dropped. but in this instance, the court refused to allow them to do so. as long as there are poor families in poor villages, there are likely to be child maids. ushad bibi and one of the agents are going about four hours south of islamabad to meet potential recruits. this family say they want to send their ten—year—old daughter to work in islamabad. this family say they want to send their ten—year—old daughter to work in islamabad. a few weeks later, i get a call from tayyaba's father, and says he wants to tell me the truth. tayyaba's father claims his lawyer was paid for by the suspects and convinced him to try and drop the case. it is hard to tell what really happened, but his account was corroborated by a second source involved in the negotiations. tayyaba's father's former lawyer says the claims are completely untrue and that tayyaba's father testified in court that he was not under any pressure. the lawyer representing ali and his wife said the claims were malicious and false. they were convicted of neglecting an injured child, and each was sentenced to one year injail. they were acquitted of all other charges, including assaulting them. they remain free while they appeal the verdict. but there is a chance at least for tayyaba for a happy ending. when tayyaba grows up, she wants to be a teacher, because she says children should be in school, not working. the story across the uk has been pretty benign in recent weeks, good spells of sunshine, seems like this on saturday afternoon and where we have seen the sunshine we have also had warmth but at the same time if you sharp showers and some nagging cloud sitting across the east coast making it feel cool and disappointing. for the remainder of oui’ disappointing. for the remainder of our weekend high—pressure looks in control, but whether —— weather fronts are over on the atlantic, a sign of change to come. there will bea sign of change to come. there will be a promising day tomorrow, maybe a few showers, chiefly to the east of scotla nd few showers, chiefly to the east of scotland and north east of england and a few in wales and the south west but with the sunshine highs of around 23—24. the working week, maybe a new shop showers in the channel islands, and a weakening weather front and a spell of rain for scotland and northern ireland —— may be a few shop showers. highs of 23. quite possible. as we move out of monday into tuesday, we start to see the potential for a of monday into tuesday, we start to see the potentialfor a northerly breeze, it might feel a bit cooler with the ice bars sitting vertically —— isobars. a lot of cloud around and if we see sunshine we are lucky. when you factor in the northerly breeze especially on exposed coasts, it will feel cooler, 15—20. by the time we move out of tuesday and wednesday, not a bad day during daylight hours, but signs of a change to, with the weather front pushing from the atlantic and this will gradually bring the increase of cloud and wet and windy weather by the end of the day into northern ireland and north west scotland. ahead of that it should be dry and sunny with light winds. temperatures back—up to 22. we haven't seen significant rain for a while and gardeners and growers will be happy to hear that there will be a spell of wet and windy weather moving its way steadily south and east, may be arriving in the midlands in the early hours of thursday morning, but it will weaken as it pushes into the south—east but there could be showery rain for the gardens. fresher for the west and north. 21 is the high in the south—east corner. it looks we are likely to see more of a changeable story from midweek and the reason is we have got to look towards north america where we have warm moist air through the gulf of mexico, bumping into cold airfrom the gulf of mexico, bumping into cold air from canada, the gulf of mexico, bumping into cold airfrom canada, and that reignites and regenerates the jet strea m reignites and regenerates the jet stream towards the atlantic which drives the low pressure towards the uk. it looks for the longer period that potential for more on settled weather in the north west, wet and windy, from time to time, but further away from those areas of low pressure, further south and east, the greater chance of the best of the greater chance of the best of the drier and brighter weather, but good news for gardeners and growers, some welcome rain. this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall, the headlines
