north korea. not just north korea, but south korea, china and the community. for all of those reasons, we'll be seeing a fascinating summit that will come up in about a month or so. >> back on your reason number one in the role of president moon, as you watch kim and moon holding hands, stepping across the dmz, joe, what was running through your mind? did you ever think you would see the day? >> well, this is the third summit between the two korean leaders. and this is, i think, the most significant summit. and really for most of korea and korean americans it was a momentous moment and maybe there is something different in the feel to the third one, the one that just happened, than the previous two. certainly there are a lot of hopes and we'll see what happens. and also a lot of hopes on the tru trump-kim summit that will take place in a month. we need to see the content of the summit and it has to be more than rhetoric. we need some substance coming out. >> the trump -- let me ask you about the trump and kim jong-un meeting, this notion it could be at the dmz

north korea. that is the nightmare, anything that will transition to a more stable position for north korea is good for china and north korea and southnifying would not be good for china because that could put more influence of the united states in the region. >> it is a delicate matter. we see kim jong un raising the issue of security guarantee. we don't know what that would look like but this the security solution has to be acceptable to china as well. south korea deployment for missile defenses so there's a rearrangement of military balance going on and china has to be comfortable with the end result. >> this is what the foreign ministry had to say. we think a person-to-person encounter between the leaders of north korea and the us is the key to solving problems but at the same time donald trump and others accused china of being a factor that derailed negotiations and derailed the summit this past weekend. >> the fact remains china is the single most influential country governing what north korea can do. we have seen the meetings go on. china has been very quiet about what they said and we really do need china's cooperation at thi

reason that we're walking away is that we aren't signing on to the gradual process that north korea, south korea and chinatronger because they have legitimacy that they have wanted. they put a wedge between the united states and south korea, and there's going to be no way for sanctions to snap back with china and south korea not on board. so they are -- north korea is stronger and, unfortunately, the united states is weaker. >> rich, do you agree north korea won by the president agreeing to do this, which is something obviously past regimes in north korea -- >> i think he never should have agreed to the meeting in the first place, but i don't think it is the worst case. the worst case would have been the summit going forward, which i think was likely to serve north korea's interest rather than ours. my fear is we have not heard the end of this summit. there are obviously a couple of escape hatches in the president's letter. he underlined them in public remarks, saying it still might happen. what we've heard from the north koreans so far is quite conciliatory. it may be we are still involved in a negotiati

we signed a peace treaty with north korea and south korea, china and united states. we recognize north korea as a sovereign country. we have no desire to invade north korea. we are not trying to unify south korea and north korea. we just want north korea to give up their nuclear weapons program which has threatened us and the world. for that they will get a guarantee of security and hopefully a better economy because the sanctions will be relieved. here's the other choice, keep threatening america, keep building nuclear weapons and icbms. get in a war with donald trump and lose it. those are your two choices. the one kim jong un clearly has people around him who say that it would be crazy for him to give up the biggest weapon that he has in the biggest weapon that he can hold over. we may be seeing him having some second thoughts here on that front. also, what about the people of north korea will have lived on the dark continent for all these decades, and what's to stop them once they have no nukes and they have a lot of light shed into their country from rebelling ag

south korea. the south koreans take a very short-term view because the japanese are not the ones threatening south korea. it is basically north korea with the backing of chinasouth korea does not see it that way. but president moon is just pro north korea.he has been for the entire career. he has been trying to do things to make south korea more compatible with north theresa may can have a union. that is dangerous for us. >> it was interesting first of all, south korea has basically had its -- canceled by north torrey. kim jong-un feels like he is in the seat of power. because he is trying to send a message to the united states. mess with me and i will cancel your summit next. what did you think of john colton's remarks regarding the libyan model? comparing qaddafi that was killed after giving up his nuclear weapons. that was a bad move at this time after all of the work in this upcoming summit. >> at the end of april when he made those libyan model remarks, he could've just said love, our model is the north koreans give up all of their weapons up front and then we provide concessions later on. whatever. he did not say that. he used something which probably

south korea, north korea, china? kevin: everyone would say china has a crucial role to play. south koreans were caught offguard by the announcement by the president yesterday. ultimately, my sources say north korea will have to decide whether or not they will commit to a long-term denuclearization. republicans and immigrants would agree that any type of conversation with the north koreans should be greeted with caution, optimism, as the talks continue. mark: thank you kevin cirilli. our chief washington correspondent. look at european equities 4:15 away from the friday session. gains in london and in frankfurt. for the week, stoxx 600 is down, significant because it is the first weekly decline in nine after the best winning streak since 2014. we have political instability not only in italy but in spain. that is sending yields up in both of those countries and stocks down in both of those countries. core bonds are rising and core stock market is rising as well. this is bloomberg. ♪ i am mark london, barton. stocks finishing marginally higher, a choppy session with the attention

what is north korea's role in all is well look obviously getting the north korea situation resolved will require not only the cooperation of south korea japan but especially china which is north korea's strongest supporter at this period of time and i think what the president is trying to do is to ratchet down the trade pressures with the chinese in an effort to secure greater cooperation with the chinese with regard to north korea and again so there's many moving pieces in all of this and whether all these pieces can come together is it remains to be unseen at this point remains to be seen at this point now we hear from north korea the not going to discuss doing away with the nuclear weapons do you think the summits and troubles you know i don't think we know at this point yet but i think people who have observed north korea over the decades have seen this familiar pattern where they seem to make movements towards peaceful resolution of disputes and then they back away at the last minute you know and what we have seen over the last couple of weeks even as the summit has gotten scheduled is that there still is a dispute between the north koreans and the united

administration and he will be discussing that with officials in north korea the leaders of china japan and south korea have agreed to increase cooperation to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons they gathered in tokyo for the first trilateral meeting between the nations since twenty fifteen leaders urged concrete action by north korea for a permanent peace settlement there's a live pictures from tokyo this is a welcome ceremony for the chinese probably alou could churn who's holding a bilateral meeting with japan's prime minister shinzo are being weighed hey reports now from tokyo. this was an opportunity for the japanese prime minister shinzo in particular to lay out what he and his country want to see if there are to be any detailed negotiations with north korea over their nuclear program before this summit throughout this flurry of diplomatic activity over the past few weeks there's been a sense that japan and its prime minister have been a bit on the outside all of that activity even though for the past year japan was very much affected by. the threats and the activity coming from north

not just united states north korea that south korea china russia and to certain extent japan on gould that we've also seen really a magnificent diplomacy from south korea which is being since the new president took office last unit inching toward sent a very pragmatic very forceful diplomatic maneuvering to all its north korea and at the same time unlike previous periods of rapprochement to north and south korea this is a south korean president that's being careful to keep the united states on board at every single move whether it was the deescalation for the winter olympics all or whether any future event so i think that we have seen we see a different. dynamic between all the regional power stations i think we can be a little bit more hopeful when asked for some positive outcome to these negotiations that we can test it and talking to you thank you so much for your time today i do appreciate it and while we're talking korean peninsula south korea's president in is today marking his first year in office and one of the highlights is his efforts to improve those diplomatic relations wi

north korea peter cathy thanks very much. first two d. nuclearized north korea will be high on the agenda of a meeting between the leaders of japan china and south korea in tokyo the three way talks are meant to take place every year but this is the first time since twenty fifteen and in a sign of improving ties between the neighbors it's also the first visit to japan by a chinese premier and a south korean leader since twenty eleven when a joins us live now from tokyo so wayne what's the top of their agenda today. well in fact a very brief trilateral summit which lasted just over an hour has come to an end there are other meetings going forward today there is a trilateral business some of their other bilateral meetings as well but the main thrust of it has come to an end and they did understandably after such a brief summit issue a fairly bland statement the three leaders afterwards in fact it was really only the japanese prime minister shinzo arbor who spoke in specifics about the north korea issue he said that he wants to see specific actions from north korea he said the u.n. security council resolutions must be fully implemented he said he r

china north korea cannot survive. at the same time china needs is stable north korea that separate from south korea so i have no doubt that this relationship will continue. after the summit and a solution to denuclearization has to involve china. i think we need strategically one of the key reasons why they are doing this is because china has prioritized denuclearization higher than before and prioritized instability the likelihood of instability and we saw that very clearly in china. virtually all of the u.n. security resolutions i think that is where the pressure has come from. china needs to play a bigger role after the summit. >> we are running out of time. we will ask questions together and answered together. >> i just want to thank all the panelists for your insights today. he mentioned president moon acting as a coach regarding a coming summit with president trump it was your best guess on trump's tactics? >> i'm a korean analysts. president moon's top trump tips for tax pics. >> michael with the peace foundation. there's a lot of emphasis on the complete nuclearization and it's also in the declaration on the n

is leaving very concrete action by north korea it ever after so much focus on meetings between north korean leader kim jong un and his counterparts from south korea china and possibly the united states this summer gave a chance to lay out what his country wants from negotiations on the denuclearization of the korean peninsula among them the return of japanese abducted by north korea in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's the prime minister said he asked the other leaders for this support in trying to bring them home despite the general unity on display there are differences in how best to approach the station if you. and the apparent change in attitude from pyongyang china and south korea want more engagement and more aid for north korea japan wants to maintain the maximum pressure it feels that it sanctions that it will north korea into the open and that keeping and making sure everyone and forces them is the only way to ensure a promise is a kept wayne in a al-jazeera tokyo. israel has ordered a senior representative of human rights watch to leave the country within two weeks the interior ministry says it has terminated the residency of u.s.

north korea for doing what they are doing because they should have never imprisoned the people in the first place. this is a sign that they are moving in the right direction. you have south korea, north korea, china plus u.n. nations that signed on to unanimous agreement for the sanctions. everybody in the world has a benefit from the negotiations. let's take it a day at a time and see where it goes with the ultimate goal of de-nuclearization bringing the conflict to an end so they can look at some form of reunification. >> harry in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. republican line. >> caller: let me make a few statements and let me finish. let's start with the -- starring with jimmy carter and shaw of iran. they were walking around with radios and everything else. when he came to the united states to get help for medical conditions carter was thinking about sending him back. bill clinton gave north korea $8 million for farms. let's go to obama making a deal with iran. you mean to tell me people don't think iran is doing something there? and the congressional hearing yesterday they were sticking up for the terrorists who were killing americans and blaming this woman because she didn't have morales for th

the end of the day what is in china's interest is to have a north korea that comes back in line and does right thing here. but also north korea that is strong relative to south korea. at the end of the day what they see, they use the cold war terms. the u.s. has a fear of influence. south korea. china, north korea, so they need to balance it off. if it looks like trump has the upper hand china says we want you to back off. north korea feels the same way. so not clear if it's china pulling the strings or north korea reacting to say we want to do this and china says yep, that sounds fine to us. >> dana: anything the president does comes with some criticism from some parts of the country. richard haas from the foreign policy circles tweeted the summit was bound to failed as trump badly overestimated what north korea agree to. the issue is and was the u.s. willing to accept outcome short of total denuclearization. all or nothing foreign policy with north korea, iran, china, trade risks producing nothing but or conflict.
