the north koreans haven't named anybody.n, you'd think they would have had the opportunity to think about it. these apparently were points that were drumd up way before the summit. does that say anything to you? why would they have named somebody to meet with secretary of state pompeo? >> understandable. up until now it was an ad hoc situation for north korea. that's why dim jong-un was handling this issue. once they get into the specifics of nuclear negotiation, then people like foreign minister leon ho or vice chairman comes to the front line. therefore, north korea may need time to discuss who should be dealing with secretary pompeo. that's why he didn't give a name. eventually pyongyang will come up with very specific names. but it is be most likely foreign ministry related guys. the department of united front korean workers' party. >> and let me just ask you, you know, you heard president trump several times refer to leader kim and he said he was a great personality, very smart, good combination, a very worthy, smart ne

in north korea. >> guest: yes. north korea, we know it is the darkest place on earth. we don't have electricity, automobiles for anything to work in the farm. individuals cannot own things socially and we don't own house or anything. it's all owned by the state. so cows belong to state, and there was a man who had tv, he ate the cow on the farming is executed. some of the cows you need permission, sometimes i cow dies from the disease or it's too old and dies, sometimes it's distributed to people. i never knew, like i never had a stake. never knew what that was. >> host: what do you remember about making the decision to defect from north korea? >> guest: that i did was for him when i was more early 2000, that when things were very bad in my family. we were not able to find food and it was a string. >> host: when you talk about not finding food, would you go days or a day without eating? >> guest: it's like sometimes you have food every day, sometimes, i remember one day we had many days without food.

there are thousands of north koreans that operate on north korean sites. and the importance of that is that the u.n. says that this is one of the main ways that north korea funds its missile program and its nuclear weapons program. but russia denies undermining international sanctions saying it stands against pyongyang's military ambitions and supports u.n. security council resolutions calling for north korean nuclear restraint. the money these workers earn end zone russian officials is a form of direct aid, keeping north koreans alive. >> the money is used to assist people who live in north korea to survive because they do experience economic and social problems. i cannot imagine a situation where you may color this money and say this money go for the nuclear program and that money i do not know in japan go somewhere else. >> reporter: russia it seems supports efforts to isolate north korean tregime, but also helps to keep it afloat. matthew chance, cnn, st. petersburg. >>> president trump hit the campaign trail again on saturday. he will be in ohio where

it's often looking quite breezy, frequent showers in the north and north—west and the driest and warmest 14—day forecast on our website. bye—bye for now. this is bbc news, i'm chris rogers. the headlines at ten: police in manchester say a shotgun was probably used in a shooting in the city's moss side area last night, 12 people, including two childern, sustained pellet—type injuries. two, one, zero — lift—off! nasa's space probe begins its ambitious seven yearjourney to the sun after it finally takes off from cape canaveral. dina asher—smith wins her third gold of the european athletics championships in the four by 100 metre relay. and at 10:30 and again at 11:30 we ll be taking a look at the papers with our reviewers anne ashworth and john rentoul — stay with us for that.

sunshine and showers in the north west. the jet stream has a bit of a king in the north west.he jet stream has a bit of a king in it initially but that should clear away, another kink will sit out towards the north—west and so we are looking at next weekend now and that means cooler and fresher conditions for the north and fresher conditions for the north and west of the uk but slightly milder in the south—east. late next week and be on next weekend at the slight high pressure will start to edge infamy atlantic so that should settle down in the south —— edge in from the. more unsettled was the north—west of the country but the computer models are hinting that we could see the high pressure bringing calmer and more settled weather.

and a lot of -- even actually north north koreans, even after they escape in my case, i escaped to china, i was being raped and suffering so much at the age of 13, when people saying that because of your kim is so bad you guys-doing, and being -- i he great leader them people working for him is bald. he's a great, great guy. that's what i did because is was so brainwashed, but my mom now knows about truth and now i know about the truth, and i think the only thing that it want to make sure when i talk to people is that lie doesn't have power. we should not scared of life. the media in the west, that's one thing i so sad about is that we demonize -- we dehumanize north korean population. we kind of portrait them as a robber who is brain washed, hopeless, cannot idea understand the used of freedom and democracy. threat not true. look at south korea. it is same country it's in same country for thousands of years. the system is a problem, not the people. and when we try to say the people are the problem, they're -- when people say, why didn't you night why didn't you punt with this thing? i s

and then there's the bombing of the north. so spring of '65 the war effectively becomes americanized through the deployment of this first contingent of u.s. troops in the form of marines. and the beginning of the sustained bombing runs against northern vietnam. >> i got this from the vietnamese archives. the americans bomb and the north vietnamese population will rally, mobilize to defend the homeland what do you guys notice about the picture? who's featured prominently in this picture? kids. and that's, when you try to understand why they win and the u.s. loses, for the vietnamese, for the north vietnamese is a total war situation, right? so americans vietnam is there only if you have to fight vietnam. pretty much everyone else, it's life as it was before. because of the state of war and the bombing, every man, woman and child effectively starts contributing to the war effort in one way or another. for the veeietnamese. a lot of guys being drafted and sent south to fight. the women are being employed to fill in bomb craters o

you will not see north korea giving up its nuclear programme on day one.rea on day one. but the problem is, that long and hard diplomatic process doesn't make for glorious headlines, especially the type that donald trump wants, which is, ijust made a wonderful deal and there is no longer a north korean nuclear threat. we get the public smoke, but the reality behind the smoke is what we have to watch carefully for over a long—term process. tens of thousands of women have been demonstrating in the south korean capital seoul, calling for action to be taken against spy cam pornography. it's been called an epidemic — and many south korean women say it has them living in constant anxiety and distress. catherine karelli reports. chanting. south korea is in the middle of a record—breaking heatwave. but that hasn't discouraged women from taking to the streets of seoul in a mass protest. the target of their anger, so—called spy cam videos. translation: i've always been under the fear that there could be secret spy cameras at the toilets, in the company building, or

it will be breezy across the north—west of scotla nd breezy across the north—west of scotland 40—40 mphth the dry weather, the warmth will start to return. we have to see what is going on right now in the atlantic. this book of cloud is subtropical storm banesto, not a threatening storm but a lot of and moisture, whenever these do to our shores our computer models struggle little bit, it throws things of course, so little bit, it throws things of course, so that brings uncertainty in how we can forecast. it looks like low pressure will mainly be close to the north of the uk once again, so we will see some wet weather and some breezy weather at times. always likely to be driest and warmest towards the south—east. saturday not a bad day, some dry weather and spells of sunshine, a few showers but they will fade away into the afternoon. with our storm moving up from the south—west we will import pretty warm air into the south, based on bridges up into the mid— 20s celsius and by sunday, here isa lump mid— 20s celsius and by sunday, here is a lump of what weather likely to move is a lump of

the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, said pressure must be maintained on north korea.storic trump—kim summit which took place in singapore, the americans are back. the us secretary of state mike pompeo is here to meet with his counterparts at the association of southeast asian nations. and while he acknowledged the process to denuclearise north korea will take time, he also stressed how vital it is to keep up the pressure on pyongyang. i've also emphasised the importance of maintaining diplomatic and economic pressure on north korea to achieve the final, fully—verified denuclearisation of the dprk, as agreed to by chairman kim. it is worth remembering, this isn't just an american security goal. it is clear our partners and allies within asean know how important the neutralisation of north korea is for their own security. mr pompeo's comments come as a report commissioned by the un security council says north korea has not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating un sanctions. mr pompeo didn't directly address that but did say that russia has reportedly sta

most of these in the north—west.oard. and then we see another area of low pressure move in on friday, particularly across the north—west of the country. once again, it will be windy. in fact, we could see gales in exposure across the far north—west. outbreaks of persistent, maybe heavy, rain here. the further south and east that you come, the drier and brighter it will tend to be, closer to high pressure in the near continent. again, we will see the split in temperatures — high—teens in the north—west, low 20s in the south—east. so, the week is starting on a warm note in england and wales. as low pressure moves through, it will send some cooler and fresher air right across the board. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's mike embley. our top stories: a scathing war of words between donald trump and his former diversity advisor. he's accused of using racist language. he calls her a lowlife and a loser. the battle for ghazni — as the violence continues, the afghan

or north korea for that matter. and in public, shinzo abe's japan has been supportive of the maximum pressure strategy on the sanctions. you do not see open discord like you see with the nato meetings or angela merkel. that is a stylistic difference but it is an important one. japan will be the behind-the-scenes advisory ally, not the taking it on. i have one exception and that is if we move forward with 232 tariff on autos. there japan's interests are too deeply and i do not know if i panelists agree, japan will retaliate. japan will have to retaliate. its own economic interest will be at stake and so you were not be able to pattern behavior. on the larger question, where did they go? i do not see japan/china is an alternative. we have to be a different world. we may be in that world 10 years from now but not in the foreseeable future. the strategic competition between japan and china is real. the long-term concern about china's military power is very real and tokyo. i think that is where the u.s. and japan may hav

i would say to the north it's a campaign of material moving around to sustain north vietnam. it's trying to send a message to them. >> they use it. f-111 will come in later in the rolling thunder campaign. >> where do the missions come from from? >> they come from higher up. these are restrictions that are self-imposed by the administration on to the air power. we read about it in thompson's two chapters. again, most of the stuff is be low the 19th parallel. they will move it to about the 20th parallel line. who is supporting the north vietn vietnamese. we're not going to bomb along a 25 or 30 mile along the border with china. the major cities we'll have a restricted zone of attacking. every target is going to be chosen by the president. these are the three major restrictions. for example, in the text, there are fighter pilot comes over target. after target sees the cargo plane with the star on it. that's beyond the rules of e gau -- engageme engagement. that's to not try to escalate.- engagement. that's to not try to escalate. engagement. that's to not try to escalate. engag

breezy across the north—east. lighter winds across the south and the west, despite the fact it will still be quite cool for this time of year, with below—average temperatures, it should feel a little bit better. heading through saturday night, it will be another chilly one. a veil of high cloud pushes in off this weather system. i don't think it will be as cool to start sunday as we were expecting this morning. double—figure values across many areas. this area of low pressure will come hurtling in on sunday. it will spread east throughout the day to bring wet and windy weather. a bit of brightness across the far east for a while, but a cool start. very soon the cloud will thicken up. wet and windy weather spreads to all areas. some of this will be heavy. in western areas, it could be blustery with winds of a0—a5mph in the south and the west. it will feel disappointingly cool with all the cloud, wind, and rain. temperatures generally in the mid—to—high teens celsius. our area of low pressure pushes into the near co

and, the rest of north vietnam in 1972. and sure enough, eventually, a cease-fire, allowing the u.s. to get out pick the war will continue in vietnam, but the u.s. will manage to extricate it's forces. for nixon, that was good enough. but the vietnamese figure it out themselves. right? so, all of this was well and good, but as i mentioned earlier, some of these policies are very, very unpopular. in 1970, american troops move into cambodia, and that sparks massive, massive protests across the u.s.. including on university campuses. university students at the time kind of led the movement against the war. various organizations were established to oppose the war. the most prominent of which was the students for a democratic society. and so, in the aftermath of the invasion of cambodia, the student-there is a big student protest at kent state university in ohio., the national guard is brought in,, and the national guard just like in any outfit with guns, you have people who are -- and then, a national guardsmen opened fire and

i want to start out asking about north korea. after the cancellation of pompeo strip, is the diplomatic effort they're in trouble, and i was also wondering if you could give us further details about why the trip was canceled. there are reports it was canceled following the receiving of a letter and i was just wondering if you could confirm that. he take your second question first. you know we often don't get into the detail about our private diplomatic conversations, but i can tell you the president and his national security team, which obviously included secretary pompeo, and i want to make it clear that ambassador bolton was part of these conversations. there were some in after reports that he was not. the entire national security .eam discussed this in their judgment, they made the judgment that now is not the right time to travel. the president agreed with that, and that is when the president made the decision to send out tweets announcing that decision. >> and the diplomatic effort? effort islomatic still ongoing. i know a l

their relationship with north korea has improved the chinese are glad to see north south relations improve i don't think they really want to see u.s. north korean relations improve very rapidly so there may be some truth to this although there are probably other factors at play as well as well you know isn't the real problem the crux of it at least that donald trump signed the deal that didn't have any specifics in it therefore how could denuclearization be happening when there was no plan really. well that's exactly right there is no roadmap the agreement that was reached in singapore in june doesn't have any specifics there's no timeline at when president trump came back from singapore he declared victory he said there was no longer a nuclear threat to the united states by kim jong un has just not delivered anything there was a report recently that when my pompei o was planning to go to pyongyang that the north koreans were going to give a declaration of their nuclear and missile programs and that would indeed be a very good first step of course would it be complete that's another questi

he would not let the b-52s go north. in rolling thunder, the b-52s will not see action in the northern part. it will take another campaign to see that happened. these are involved in missions in the south trying to stop the air interdiction platform. they are doing the air interdiction effort. the primary platform will be the 100 series fighters. f1 05, f 100, what with a designed to do? it was designed to participate in the big war with the soviet union. the dropping of the tactical nukes. the big engines moving fast. not air to air fighters. get as deep as you can and drop your nuke and get back as far as you can. one aspect is how effective they are at bombing. did thompson give us a discussion of this? about the ability? >> high-speed tactical -- >> the conventional dispersion is very difficult. this is the idea above air war. initially they have not been trained that effectively when dropping conventional -- a circular air of probability. the radius of 750 feet and 50 % of the bombs dropped are in that area. only 50

low pressure to the north—west starting to feed some rain in towards the north—west of scotland.in, not everybody is going to see it and it may not amount to too much. there will also be dry and occasionally sunny weather particularly later this week, as we will see. these are your starting numbers for tuesday morning. bridges into double figures. maybe one or two missed and fog patches around. that amount of cloud, don't expect too much in the way of morning sunshine. brees and outbreaks of rain into the western isles of scotland and this system is only very slowly pushing south—east during the day. head of that we have a good deal of cloud, a few breaks and a sunny spells to come through. outbreaks of rain will feed into the northern isles and this weather system see one or two showers breaking. the rain will start to feed into the western star of northern ireland, leaving the best of the sunshine in the east. across england and wales, some misty and murky weather to begin with, some brighter or sunny spells may keep low cloud into the south—west of england, one or two spots of

is it the north industry or not? but this is the idea, and not only a strategic to go after transportation, systems, industrial base, but also to prevent that stuff are moving around. so, that transportation line, that reason for it is, even it is coming from the outside to help prevent that in keeping north vietnam sustained. let them feel the pain of war. likewise, let's do an interdiction, and operational interdiction campaign that prevents that material from going to the north, down to the south. primarily through laos. so, you have got to stop that movement. >> the development that is happening in 1964, if we do a strategic air campaign, then there is another incident. there are a lot of small attacks. things are still happening. the insurgency is happening in the south. and then we get a situation in the gulf of tonkin, right at the salt -- shoulders of north vietnam, where patrol boats attack intelligence gathering ships there. i am not concerned about who is provoking what, i don't want to get into that discu

at the same time, north korea also feels that the us are putting too much pressure on north korea, theynald trump seems to be talking warmly about kim jong—un. he was doing so on twitter only this week and he made a point at this summit of southeast asian countries of sending a long letter to be given to kimjong—un which does indicate that they have a relationship. and of course that has been seized on by the north koreans themselves, theirforeign minister making it clear that what is alarming is the insistent moves within the us to go back to the old, farfrom its leader's intentions, an indication that they believe president trump believes one thing and some in his administration believe another. the children's commissioner for england has written to the secretaries of state local government and education seeking reassurance that the government will protect services in northamptonshire. it comes after the local authority drew—up plans for major reductions in the services it provides — because of funding shortfalls. speaking to the today programme on radio four, anne longfield said the

a fair amount of cloud and further north and west it isa cloud and further north and west it is a cooler and fresher feel. tonight the front continues to move south east across england and wales, some heavy breasts across the south—west and midlands at times. to the north of that some places will get down into single digits especially in the countryside. this is another cold front and behind this we really feel the difference, starting to tap into that cool air. it is coming from basically the art took and working its way across the country as we head towards the end of the week. so a couple of whether france on thursday, one moving gci’oss france on thursday, one moving across the south—east and another gci’oss across the south—east and another across scotland and northern ireland. some showers behind that. the breeze will be a future wherever you are not particularly across the north west of the country and the temperatures significantly lower. the green colour showing up across north—western areas, and even parts of the south—east. for friday all of us of the south—east. for friday al
