south koreans north koreans are working very closely also to try to lower hostilities on the korean peninsula and create an opening for the full vision president trump laid out in singapore to come to fruition. i have traveled recently to the demilitarized zone in north korea and it was negotiated between german can and chairman kim and the president of south korea. they had taken a number of steps to lower tensions. the elimination of all weapons has been implemented in the joint security area. it is a remarkable thing. for those of you who have the opportunity to visit the dmz i would strongly commend it. i think some of the details are still being worked out in the final arrangements in the dmz. i heard recently that it is not so easy to travel there until all the remaining issues are implement it around this set of agreements. there is a palpable difference from anything i have seen since i first visited the dmz in 1988. over 31 years we have gone from a feeling of two armies bristling with weapons poised on a very narrow offer on the korean man korean peninsula to a more calm and orderly

there's a phenomena that i would observe around the north korean issues. that's of the snap judgment of so many experts to drive to an immediate conclusion about anything happening in north korea. two insatances that aren't dissimilar from this where we also don't know. sometime during the fall last year, the north koreans surprised the world with a press report that they had just completed the successful test of an advanced tactical weapon. tactical. they were signaling in their own wording that it was not a strategic weapon, which would imply a weapon of mass destruction. i was astounded by the immediate analysis that this was a message to the united states, that this was the end of diplomacy, this was a provocation directed at us. here we are probably five months later -- i don't think there's an expert alive that could tell me what was tested. all they released was a picture of kim standing on a beach surrounded by men in uniform holding notepads. a large part of the analysts were immediately interpreting this as a message directly at the president, dir

>> "they" being the north koreans. you know, all of us who work on this issue are acutely aware of the magnitude of what we're undertaking. we don't undertake it lightly. it is hugely reassuring to have the full support of the president and the secretary of state for diplomacy, the entire administration is engaged on this issue and -- and as we go into the room with the north koreans, it gives us a lot of confidence in speaking with them as to what is america's objective in this negotiation. i have to assume in the room the person sitting across the table from me has the same mandate and has the same sense of mission from their government. it can be challenging for sure. in a system like that you don't have a robust internal debate, you don't have thoughtful commentary from think tanks, you don't have critical or thoughtful reporting from media, you don't have -- even have the makings of what we would have inside the u.s. government of an interagency process that constantly is dealing with the tension of keeping alignm

side and you could see that in the north korean press conference i mean the very fact that the north koreans had a press conference at all is sort of remarkable and i think indicates that they were rather upset by that kelly great speech thanks for joining us there from south korea thank you for having me meanwhile north korea is facing more severe food to what's being called its worst harvest in over a decade u.n. figures show production of staple crops such as soybeans and taito is down by more than a third. government office facing a shortfall of one point four million tons of food this year the country's long struggle to feed itself nearly hoff's the population as a native humanitarian assistance and human silverstein is a templeton fellow at the foreign policy institute and as out of north korean economy watch he's skeptical about the extent of the food crisis. i'm not sure that it's as bad as the u.n. and the north korean government have been saying and the reason is that it's very difficult to calculate the north korean food situation most people get their sustenance from mark

this summit the big question in the room was how much were they going to give up in in return for north korean nuclear station and that's probably where expectations didn't quite match up between north korea and the united states but this it won't. we only have the american narrative on what exactly happened and why did these talks break down i mean there was a table for lunch set up the press corps was given. at time for a signing ceremony and then all of that got strapped but from where you are how are people looking into what unfolded in vietnam while they're watching what they have happen we shall an incredible sense of devastation on because we keep hearing this war expectation and the expectation in south korea certainly was very high and many analysts were in agreement that there would be some kind of deal today after all as mr. he would not have traveled that far to not be sincere about denuclearization and of course no one really thought that there would be amazing breakthrough today they did not think that we are going to see a statement about completely new cloister with very concre

soon make his first public comments since returning home empty handed from a second summit with north korean leader kim jong-un. in the coming hours he'll speak before cpac. right now north korea's kim jong-un is on his way back home to pyongyang. he's portraying the trip a success that deepened the trust of the two leaders but it's a different story for mr. trump. not only did he return to washington without denuclearization deal, he also deeply upset the parents of otto warmbier, an american student who died after spending 18 months in a north korean prison. the warmbier's lashed out at the president for giving the north korean leader a pass for their son's death saying kim and his evil regime are responsible for the death of our son otto. kim and his evil regime are responsible for unimaginable cruel at this and inhumanity. no excuses or lavish praise can change that. we have more now from brian todd. >> reporter: analysts call it a low point. >> he tells me he didn't know about it and i will take him at his word. >> reporter: the president saying he supported north korean dictator kim jo

it was five specific un sanctions that the north koreans wa nted sanctions that the north koreans wantedf from. now, in truth they are quite weak ones, and they relate to the banking sector and other economic sanctions that have been put on the country, but it did offer him an opportunity to really contradict what donald trump had said earlier in the day. and so here we are the day after, trying to make sense of it all. how did it all go wrong? because it was so incredibly unpredictable, wasn't it, the fact that they called off the summit earlier than expected. president trump has left. what are we likely to see, any more reaction today, as people are trying to make scrabbling to make sense of it all? yes, com pletely to make sense of it all? yes, completely unexpected, as you say. 24 completely unexpected, as you say. 2a hours ago the white house was saying we should prepare ourselves for some sort of deal to be struck. there was going to be this joint ceremony after a very cordial lunch. we know they can get to do that, they didn't get to eat another meal with each other. in terms of w

this is a north korean leader who does want to lift its economy.y where he can start to look for help in some kind of guidance. -- and some kind. the algerian authorities say more than 50 police officers have been injured in the biggest anti—government protests in the country in nearly a decade. more than 100,000 people took to the streets of the main cities, in largely peaceful demonstrations, calling on their ailing president not to run for a fifth term in office. kathryn armstrong has more. they came together to call for change. on the streets of algiers, a sea of people demanding the president withdraw to make way for a new leader. anti—government protests are a rare sight in this country. this is thought to be the largest in nearly a decade. and while it was largely peaceful, at one point, violent clashes broke out with riot police, leaving dozens injured. the unrest began more than two weeks ago, when this man, president abdelaziz bouteflika, announced he was seeking a fifth term in the country's april elections. the ailing leader, who turns

the technology wasn't supplied to all the countries that want to this technology so the north koreans stepped in and this is very alarming that in terms of proliferation there was this. new killer. now the new kill a facility in syria that was set up with north korea and the systems on this is this is the kind of activity that i know concerns a lot of people. and the north koreans also have a syringe stockpile of chemical weapons as well. it's been twenty years since lim ill fled the kuwaiti desert where he'd been working on construction sites in the meantime he's become a father again here in seoul he has two sons they know they also have a big sister somewhere on the other side of the border. you know the irony about it would be the more i wonder what it is that made me who i am pretty that if it were a normal regime i would never have run away. and this mismanaged system and the forced me to make that terrible decision. but once a month in seoul refugees from the north meet up in a christian center in order to remember their families and their people back home almost like the orpha

[indiscernible] >> sure. >> do you have any suggestions for how to resolve this north korean nuclear problems post-hanoi? for example, to increase south korean involvement or what is your assessment of the situation, and how would you go about it from now on? >> first of all, i would like to see -- >> in your opinion? >> the first question, i would like to see all players stick together. i want to see china and south korea and japan not move for do with any type of agreements or lessening trade sanctions or north korea until there is a deal. they are going to remove or reduce the leverage we have hit a good deal. i think that cam saw how the term and the president is and he is not going to agree to a partial deal. he is not going to drop sanctions for very little return in the north. that was a good signal being sent in vietnam. it is very hard for diplomats to walk away. there was actual preparation for some type of celebration for getting an agreement. i love the state department and they love these signing ceremonies. they love saying, we kind agreement, there is a big picture, sta

seoul just fifty kilometers away from the border to north korea in the space of just twenty years the south korean capital became the fourth richest city on the planet after tokyo new york and los angeles. this is where the ordeal ends for many of the refugees from north korea. this young high ranking official from the north traveled thousands of kilometers on a trek across china all the way to seoul he's been living here with a new identity for two years today he calls himself michael kim he's twenty eight years old and works part time as a museum attendant. you know what. this is an exhibition organized by the seoul authorities. it shows a model apartment in north korea. to illustrate what life looks like for the residents of pyongyang there with the in the team is a highway in that it is it for its having actually lived there myself i've been asked to explain in further detail. the world. puts on a. ride on the way i began my career in the state security agency the cia of north korea. i worked in the financial department where i came to attention due to my expertise i was transferred to office

mr trump said the north koreans had made unacceptable demands that all sanctions be lifted in exchange for a partial lifting. india has welcomed pakistan's announcement that it will release a captured indian fighter pilot. tens of thousands of troops remain positioned along the border of the disputed kashmir region. and this story is trending on bbc.com: the world—renowned conductor, pianist and composer andre previn has died aged 89. born in berlin, he began his career in hollywood, performing and arranging music while still at school. he went on to win four oscars. that's all, stay with bbc world news.

the north koreans get us involved in negotiation's we , give them concessions and they either give us nothing or whatever they agree to, they backtrack. ambassador bolton and secretary pompeo are aware of that. north korea has the opportunity to do the right thing and negotiate with us in earnest. but if they do not, we will resume the pressure we had put on the state before. look, i understand it is difficult to watch u.s. officials interacting with such a ruthless dictator. i find it difficult to watch, too. but i also see a state that is developing a hydrogen bomb and missiles that could possibly hit the east coast. this is a significant threat. if we are not going to bomb them or attack them, and we are not going to do that we have to find , a diplomatic solution on our terms. i know this is hard to watch, and i wish there was another way to do it, but realistically, i think this is a way of approaching it. the president has done interesting things with kim that have not been noticed. the first meeting with kim was in singapore. that got kim out of the bubble that he lives in. it

look, the president opened the door for north korean and singapore and they didn't want through it. he kept the door over. >> brennan: eight months ago. >> he kept the, it open in eight month in hanoi, the north korea wraps can walk through it. if they want to that's the diplomatic window. >> brennan: you said the plan last july was to dismantle north korea's nuclear facilities and have them turn over its weapons of mass destruction within a year. is that still a realistic timeline. >> no the question you asked them operationally how long would it take. there is some dispute in the u.s. government over what the period of time is. once north korea makes the decision to give up these capabilities how long would it take to conduct this dismantle. and with a few exceptions our judgment was we could finish within a year once with the process started. >> brennan: so .. you still think it will take a year to dismantle it but acknowledge they haven't even agreed to it denuclearize. >> no, exactly. >> brennan: and no expiration on this offer to continue to negotiate? >> there is no expiration

i think we are close to getting an agreement where there will be inspections of north koreans -- north korea's missile facility. i know the south korean president is traveling to washington soon to see what he can do to get negotiations moving. we have a lot of work to do here. we will need secretary pompeo and ambassador bolton to keep grinding away to get an agreement with the north. openresident likes to say, the door to a peaceful solution with the united states. kim has not yet chosen to walk through the door. that does not mean he will not walk through the door. this is hard with north korea. i am hopeful that the president's personal diplomacy with kim, and the diplomatic opportunities we have seen will lead to an agreement. . international issue i want to talk about is venezuela. uaido.s. recognizes juan g after he was recognized as the acting president of venezuela. this is able to move because getting maduro to leave power will be difficult. working with our allies, and we have organized an international coalition backing guaido. the next step is to get the states supporting

pleasure of trying to cover a summit in the early ninety's right here in berlin we stood outside the north korean embassy for days on end nobody would say anything to us these were sort of low level talks north korea was not talking at all then and now at least they're talking they're looking for ways forward so do in the news. rights led by donald trump to invest trust in the north korean leader yeah there's definitely definitely with arabs comments on the progress there was i think drastic progress and. you know i understand that you know here in europe it was the other if it's really the new that's the israel that people distrust the trump and also i. briefly took a look at the news media says that there was a german i was watching or maybe these media about. testimony and then he was quiet or so disappointed and with the whole mike my questions statement to see if that also started a little bit out of the sincerity of trump side so however. actually korean actually we. definitely expect the especially the trump of miss trade. to more reliable and trust full steps at the village actually we ca

i was not negotiating with anyone although i did need with a the north koreans discuss it. i've done with a number of other american families who have been arrested and incarcerated in north korea, to help walk them through this process, understand the process, understand how to engage the u.s. government, since i had done this on the other side, working for the government in the past. and just sort of be an adviser, hold hands, give them courage and help steer them through the process. >> when and how did you learn that otto wasn't doing well there? >> the first indication was roughly about the same time that the united states government found out about it. and it was really troubling to me because it was without precedent, to my knowledge, that an american incarcerated under these sorts of circumstances had been mistreated in some fashion. and so i was really perturbed to find out about that. i had a long chat with a north korean senior diplomat about it and shared with him my concern that this was going to be a major, major -- would have a major, major impact on u.s./nort

he looks like his grandfather, the founder of the north korean dynasty, so founder of the north korean ho chi minh, most dignitaries do it, it is an important part of any visit to vietnam, it would have been an essential part of that. he has just a couple more meetings before you head back to the border and then he has a long train ride back to north korea, where he will go through china. we do not know yet whether he will be stopping off to talk to chinese leaders about what happened here at the summit. in vietnam, they are still portraying this as a successful summit hosting, because it went smoothly. they are kind of glossing over the fact that in fact nothing came out of it, as indeed is the north korean media, and kim jong—un is able, you know, he was all over the press here, the state press in vietnam, to be seen as no other north korean leader has been, asa other north korean leader has been, as a kind of statesman. so i think the isil positives here for kim jong—un, although i do think he was probably a bit shocked that the americans cut that summit back quite quickly. —— think

but it did stop the north koreans from producing more material.hat's something that's missing right now. while this next chapter plays out, the north koreans are continuing to build. and the more they build, the more pressure is going to be on president trump and whoever his successor is because the arsenal is just going to get bigger. >> let us now turn to somebody who has been in the room around these kinds of crises near and far. and he is stephen hadley, the former national security adviser to president george w. bush. he helped manage the six-party talks with north and south korea, china, russia, japan as well as the u.s. and north korea. stephen hadley joins me now from washington. welcome back to the program. you've listened to everything david sanger has been saying and you've heard what president trump has said, and now you've heard what the north koreans have said about what happened behind closed doors. just give us your take on whether a big chance was missed here or whether walking away was the right thing. >> well, i think the conver

back to the live scene in hanoi, in vietnam, this is the train station where kim jong—un, the north koreanmese prime minister for the vietnamese prime minister for the end of his trip, and of course this is off the back of his summit with donald trump, the us president, the second meeting between the two. stay with us on bbc news. hello. the record warmth of the past week has gone, but it still won't be cold for the time of year this weekend, but it will be wet at times and it will be very windy at times too, even stormy in places. one area of low pressure passes close by on saturday. another rapidly deepening area of low pressure will come in on sunday, so spells of wind and rain. it's this second system on sunday, named by the met office as storm freya to raise awareness of potential impacts, that's going to pack the biggest punch, if you like, and we'll get to that in a moment. saturday starts perhaps a a little damp still across easternmost parts of the uk, with overnight rain clearing away. no frost around, plenty of cloud, maybe the odd mist and fog patch to the north—west initially.

the news the north koreans were back in case on was puzzling the officials quit their deaths suddenly on friday they left just hours after washington imposed the first new sanctions on the north since the second u.s. north korea summit broke down last month the casing off was reopened last september as part of a reconciliation deal between north korean leader kim jong un and south korea's president moon j.n. since those historic talks north korea's been sending around ten workers a day to the case on office. lately relations between the two koreas have been getting increasingly tense and there are fears of setbacks pyongyang threatened to pull out of nuclear negotiations with the u.s. after the collapse of a nuclear summit in hanoi between kim and u.s. president donald trump both sides blame each other for the failure of their second somers. and that's it for me and the g w business team you can find a lot more news and features on our website the w dot com slash business thank you so much for watching. the ultimate. carefully. choose to do good. documentary. called life. the most tra

without testing by increasing the quantity of missiles that you have, and there is no sign that the north koreans have stopped producing missiles during this time of detente between the united states and north korea. and so they can improve the capability and improve their confidence that they would be able to successfully land a missile that could hit u.s. territory, simply by producing more of them. now if kim says we're going to stop talking and we're testing again, i think that would be a very, very serious error on the part of kim, because that is something that president trump really has put a lot of weight on of where he said that he is going to go a different direction. and he has never feared going back to really hard maximum pressure if diplomacy wasn't going to work with kim. now the -- another interesting thing about this missile defense review is it makes a very important point that missile defense is -- we need it because we have entered a new era of -- a new missile era. not only are missiles increasing worldwide, they're increasing in number, increasing in sophistication among our

. >> meanwhile president trump and the north korean government now disagree about what caused that abrupt end to the hanoi summit. according to kim jung-un's foreign minister, north korea was willing to permanently dismantle its uranium and plutonium production facilities at the yongbyon nuclear site if the u.s. was willing to partially lift sanctions. apparently that is not what the president heard. >> basically they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. >> so let's bring in ivan watson. good to see you. now, no reason to trust the north koreans first off, but even if that was the offer, still would represent a bad deal from the u.s. perspective, would it not? >> reporter: yeah and clearly they were not able to bridge the gap. we're in this funny position where both governments are expressing affection for each other, promising to keep talking, while also expressing disappointment at failing to reach a deal. the north koreans gave a very unusual press appearance, their foreign minister, during which he said that the north koreans had offered to dismantle

the north korean side i think area build on.re a bit more negative, saying that they are not going to change their position and they don't see any chance of a breakthrough at the moment. i think for kimjong—un, he has given unusual publicity to this visit in his own media. it is rare for him to make a visit overseas like this, he's going back empty—handed, that is tough for him andi empty—handed, that is tough for him and i wonder at what stage the north koreans might be ready to come back to the table and restart this process. jonathan, thank you very much for that. on his way back from hanoi, president trump stopped in alaska to visit american troops. he thanked them for their service and claimed that us—backed forces had now retaken ioo% of the territory, the so—called caliphate, once held by the militant group that calls itself islamic state. we just took over, you know, you kept hearing it was 90%, 92%, the caliphate in syria. now it's ioo%. we just took over 100% caliphate. this is not the first time mr trump has made such

the meeting in hanoi this week between donald trump and north korean leader kim jong-un ended abruptlyut any agreement. u.s. sanctions remain in force, and north korea retains its nuclear program. guests on bloomberg television discussed what this may mean going forward. >> i think the north korean will have to make a choice, either return to criticizing the united states and ramping up anti-u.s. rhetoric, or they will say this is also a process, we have to keep working on it. kim jong-un is very committed to the process, and he wants to have a positive, new relationship with the u.s. going forward. a lot of this depends on how the north koreans decide to spin the outcome of the summit, and how they see the message to their own people. it will be interesting to see how the north korean leader talks to his own people about the summit. >> is the korean peninsula safer or less safe? >> even if there had been a joint statement today, it is not clear the peninsula with have been any safer in the short-term, because they possess all their nuclear weapons. >> i think actually for the u.s. thi

max, how do you see the statements from the north koreans? are they just trying to rattle the u.s.to ignore it and keep on keeping on or is this a real moment of concern? >> well, you took the words out of my mouth, dana. i was just about to say that they're trying to rattle trump's cage. i think the north koreans were very disappointed with the outcome in hanoi because what they imagined was that they would symbolically shut down the nuclear reactor, one of their many nuclear sites and in return, the americans would grant them wide ranging sanctions relief and that was not an offer. and i think to president trump's credit, he did not agree to that deal which would have been a very bad deal because we know the north koreans have many other nuclear facilities and that agreement would not even touch their arsenal of nuclear weapons or missiles. but clearly the north koreans are now signaling that if you don't give us what we want, we may do something you dislike which is resuming testing of nuclear missiles because that is the one thing president trump has made clear is his red line.

president donald trump on the north korean leader kim jong un in hanoi and remember this attack happened just before the last summit in the plot thickens what is the boat saying about now the north has said nothing keeping but what we are hearing from north korea the latest is that the vice foreign minister has said that the north is considering breaking off denuclearization talks with the u.s. and that they could resume nuclear missile testing and the trip was begin in fact just so it was recovered into the studio and making things a bit clearer for us. next where once familiar sound of the streets of yangon is slowly fading the clatter of typing on the typewriter as they still all been used. panza down the street in downtown yang gone above the relentless drone of traffic the soft tapping of a bygone era. the typewriting still define the digital age and. maintain these roadside shop i've been a fixture here for forty years so time has taken its toll on men and machine. again you know in the past i could type seventy eighty or even one hundred words a minute now i'm getting all my hands

schedule of them is twenty eight so temporary and that perhaps they thought that by attacking the north korean embassy that north dakota here would work down so the meeting but they did not. you're talking about the meeting between cam jong un and donald trump yes they are having ongoing talks so could this attack the rail those ongoing talks and might be that be the plan though i think that the plan was to do detail at the summit at a place of the plane being because this attack took place on the twenty second. and how they're going to states. as we see it now doesn't get any more about international agreements about justice at settlement and. and basically the rest of the world is nothing anything about it i think they're taking sanctions against everybody so i think it it's about time that other countries start taking sanctions against the united states in order perhaps you were sent to have a more consistent civilized behavior otherwise it's becoming exacting like a rock said it is but then the humanity. so in terms of diplomatic relations how serious it is it when a foreign country secret
