china and north korea so that's some of what we heard from kim jong un and mungy in today donald trump from for his part seems to be welcoming this in the last few minutes we've seen him tweet korean war to end the united states and all of its great people should be very proud of what is now taking place in korea but about fifteen minutes before that he also said good things are happening but only time will tell of course this is all coming before that important expected meeting between donald trump and kids young and that is expected to take place in late may or early june when julian had long been saying that he hopes that this interfering in summit would be positive so that it could set the scene for that meeting between the united states and north korea something that has never happened before and we heard from kim jong un today saying that he hopes to implement the agreement today so that the stakes of the past are not repeated when we saw into korean summits in two thousand and again in two thousand and seven we had a decade. aeration there that were never implemented but we saw

well this is coming right now from the south korean presidential blue house the office of president mungy in that has been briefing journalists following that historic meeting between president monday and the north korean leader kim jong un on friday and in that briefing we are told that kim jong un told monday in that he intends to close the north korean nuclear test facility and invite experts from the u.s. and south korea as well as journalists to inspect it he seemed to refer to the speculation that some experts had been saying that perhaps after six nuclear tests the most recent one being the most powerful in north korea said it was a hydrogen bomb that perhaps the nuclear test facility had been compromised that north korea would not be able to conduct any more nuclear tests anyway but apparently what kim jong un said was that there are two more tunnels that the international community was unaware of and that's something that they would see if they came next month as invited to inspect the nuclear test facility of course the two leaders signed a declaration on friday and there was a

of it and lee kim jong moon said this to mungy and during their summit this was all relayed today by president moon's office though of course there's been some speculation over the functionality of this of the three sites however kim jong un says that he's ready to bring international observers journalists whoever to watch this site get close down some time in may and that presumably means complete dismantlement they're saying that they're going to shut the site down within mere weeks what do we know about the north north korean nuclear site. right well it's built under a mountain and there are four tunnels that are that the point grace a site is made of the first two tunnels seem to be an active based on satellite imagery collected by observers at johns hopkins university the second tunnel was used during north korea's biggest nuclear test last september its sixth nuclear test and since then there's been no activity but two other sites the south and west tunnel do seem to be be functional according to observers now jason when the news came on friday that kim jong un had agreed to de

they will certainly leverage that that is in kim jong un's mind a way for the regime to survive so mungyin the south korean president has his work cut out for him i'll say once again the focus is on getting north korea to give up its nuclear weapons and it's really unclear though exactly what the agenda will be and how moon plans to do that ok so the nuclear weapons are one current that air that's in the north korean stack another one is the fact that of course the two countries they're still officially at war in the hostilities of the korean war they only ends at the end armistice agreement as we heard earlier so for its part it wants an official and before signing any possible treaty how likely is it that north korea will give up that card. we've heard president discuss that this week he said that a peace treaty should be in sight it should be the ultimate goal he's also conditioned that he's also said that that's probably not possible without a deal on denuclearization so getting to that step of the peace treaty has to come after north korea agrees of some sort of concession about his

progress in any dialogue with the north korean administration positively of course the administration of mungy and has long been pushing forward with a policy of engagement and dialogue and i would imagine that it sees any progress towards a meeting between donald trump and kim jong un positively what they have in common is both south korea and the united states are saying that denuclearization must be firmly on the table in any of these talks and it seems that north korea hasn't ruled out talking about denuclearization but what that means to north korea versus what that means to south korea or the united states navy different the united states wants north korea to do so mantel its missile and nuclear program whereas north korea when it talks about the asian tends to take a broader view and includes that it would be open to discussing it if it no longer felt threatened by the united states and it wants the u.s. for example to remove troops from the korean peninsula so it's interesting then when you hear donald trump still leaving open the possibility that the talks may not happen if he's not s
