now north korean leader kim jong-un travels to vladimir putin in siberia to learn more about russian epening ties? kim called north korea's relations with russia, quote, his first priority? it's clear what china thinks about this russia's north korean leaders met at a remote rocket and space center in siberia after kim jong-un crossed the border in his armored train to leave his hermit kingdom for the first time in years, we recall when nasa ended its shuttle program in 2011, the united states relied on russia to send astronauts, but the international space station meeting of the two leaders took place. hours after north korea launched two ballistic missiles into the sea in the last 2 years, north korea launched more 80 short- medium and long-range missiles. kim jong understands the value of possessing nuclear weapons and is seeking russian help in developing sophisticated military spy satellites. what northern korea is missing. in fact, his recent attempts to put one of them into orbit failed. when asked about deepening military cooperation between pyongyang and russia, the russian p

have left many north koreans. on the brink of famine, south korea suspects russia has offered to hold joint naval drills with china and north korea. a mirror to the annual exercises held between south korea and the united states. but many also see a russia may offer advanced technologies that could be used to the young young's new caleb program. a prospect that would violate over a dozen un sanctions. and for more i am joined now by marina myra military analyst from king's college in london. i'll walk into the program. thank you so much for joining us. first of all, let's talk a little bit more about north korea. and the capacity is that it might have what could it potentially supply russia with when we talk about, you know, human munitions and capabilities? hello, sarah. well, 1st of all, i think the most important thing is that north korea could supply russia with our artillery shells and artillery systems that it has some old store files up north korea has would be compatible with so it's kyle artillery systems.

it’s just that those goods that the north koreans can produce or extract well are interesting to me, et about sanctions about all this, this is a supplier, firstly , of minerals. well, it’s clear that we have siberia. uh, secondly seafood pollock squid. well, in general it’s not bad, but, to be honest, it’s not bad on your own with god. eh, and this is already important: cheap labor , north korean workers have always been in russia it’s just that since 1946 there hasn’t been a year when they weren’t there. at first it was the fishing industry, then timber processing and now construction. this is the first direction. everyone spoke little about him, mainly about diplomatic games around military cooperation. i don’t think that this is mainly a diplomatic game and quite a lot. by the way, they talked a lot, but they said little about the essentials, but here is the first essential one. these are, of course, north korean workers in theory, of course, this is a violation of un sanctions for which we will tell him so in due time in vain naked. and sanctions prohibiting the supply of labor a

but the chinese awesome and sort of nervous at the north koreans might overreach right, than the chinese oppose premium application. they don't want a unified cri on their border, but they also don't want an on hand nuclear, north korea, that sort of provokes the planet, you know, for both the united states and sort of stumbled into a conflict, right? china with like north korea to sort of just into exist but the call and then our screens are not like that. right. so i think the chinese are kind of in a weird spot here. you know, they want to water in ukraine. the winds are at the end. so in the want the russians to wind, right? they want to keep an artery and nuclear programs and spinning out of control and provoking a real american response. so i actually am not quite sure what the chinese think if i had a guess, i'd say they've probably actually posted this because they're worried that the north koreans and the russians are gonna walk, make a deal to the chinese wouldn't actually make of either of those partners themselves . you taught some of us that with america. be thinking about t

before the north korean leader got into the car and went to the station.also visit komsomolsk-on-amur, where he will get acquainted with military civilian equipment, and then go to vladivostok to visit the main base of the pacific fleet. at first the good is very productive. now there remains such a very frank exchange of views on the situation in the region on a bilateral basis. there was a lot of damage to our relations, uh, this covid caused when the country was actually, i mean the korean people the democratic republic was actually closed from the outside world, but we have a lot of interesting projects. uh, if uh we remember some things, this is uh, transport links. e. this logistics means both railways and roads. this refers to the resumption of work of the port and seaport. eh, where can you make a very good logistics triangle, a railway port, then a road to china by 10, you can increase the volume of transportation several times, which is very important in general. we were talking about development of agriculture on and in this regard. we, of cours

the north korean we traveled 40 hours in an armored train, crossing the border on tuesday. they held very substantive discussions, but little was revealed publicly. >> i am honored that president putin has showed a deep interest and given us a chance to gain deeper understanding of the current and future of the space power nation. reporter: many believe this meeting could mean new developments in the war in ukraine and for north korea's military ambitions. >> we continue to encourage north korea not to support rush in killing innocent ukrainians. if they decide to move forward with an arms deal, we will deal with it appropriately. reporter: but kim jong-un appeared to express support for vladimir putin's war. >> there has been a great victory in the sacred struggle for the punishment of the great people -- rvil. north korea is heavy sanctions for its nuclear program. there are reports of food shortages in the country as its economy worsens. kim says the trip has celebrated the country's ties to a new level, but it may be china's influence that will prove crucial since they

have left many north koreans. on the brink of famine of south korea. suspects russia has offered to hold the joint naval drills with china and north korea. a mirror to the annual exercises held between south korea and the united states. but many also see a russia may offer advanced technologies that could be used to the young young's new caleb program. a prospect that would violate over a dozen un sanctions. so if north korea were to supply russia with more weapons, what impact could that have on the battlefield in ukraine? i put that question to marina myron, a military analyst from king's college london. have given the fact that um, raska is under sanctions and russian economies being the fact that the production of shells is also difficult for russia also due to lack of western components. therefore, it was easy situation for russia and make it possible for them to use as many shells as they normally would to keep opposite fire pressure on the ukrainian forces. i don't think it will be a significant shift in ter

he was came special guest at north korea's minute tree parade, mocking the korean will armistice. another chance for p on yen to show off it's expanding nuclear program and an opportunity for most go to strength, the minute 3 ties with its neighbors. but what will north korea getting return? well, king john own pose was all sees into the military. the country desperately needs basics like food. north koreans are looking for it cannot make supports fuel food sources of cash. anything that can help to keep the regime of load and russia seems to be ready to provide that event through violation of the un sanctions to those un sanctions also include a bind on any arms trade with north korea, which with russia, also facing sanctions from the west over its invasion of ukraine. these 2 countries on getting close to the kremlin, has already suggested pre own young join joins naval exercises with moscow. and beijing a work in steel could be next. yeah you and sharon is a reporter, engine use anchor with sized curry is already rang tv and she tells us what north korea has to offer russia and

the 2 countries have so far denied that any north korean arms have been used in russia's war against ukraine. also coming up, no breakthrough on restoring shipments of ukrainian grain to the world. vladimir putin says deliveries through the black sea will not resume unless he wins concessions from the west. and at least 3 people are dead as heavy rains in on the central spain. richards may or tells residents to stay at home until the water subsides. the . i'm on the in east of welcome to the program. the us says north korean leader kim jong own plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president vladimir putin. to discuss providing moscow with weapons. us media said the visit can take place within the month, funding unnamed officials. the pair met last in 2019. john yang and moscow have both previously denied that north korea is providing russia with supplies for its war and ukraine. west and officials say both moscow and kids are burning through huge amounts of munition as the war interest. it's 19 month us earlier, i talked to the washington correspondent janelle dom alone who i

and that's why we've had south korean president you into your china. there's north on the, a close ally of north korea, but also a permanent member of the un security council to do more to rein in the nuclear threat from north korea. okay, thank you so much. phones will come back to you in just a moment, but i want to go now to a yearly shuffle over who is in moscow for us. and we just have to put in his said he plans to visit the nearby, causing the drawing, but didn't confirm if he would meet him there. but can you just explain what the significance of the sizes as well, actually it's going to be a good place for them to me, isn't that because obviously it rushes believe to shot some of it's sent to light to acknowledge it with north korea. well, as you at the moment, as you mentioned, it came, john is a train was last spoke to the in the city of cities codes. so $100.00 calories was from the 2 of us talking rushes far east. so. so basically the 2 leaders are expected to meet soon, but a basically as a pretend is participating in the some economic form and let the

without chinese helps a north korean regime would not have survived. that is, the consensus of, you know, most career watchers and in this respect, china is also involved in this very, very delicate game with trying to support russia in this war against the brain without really spoiling relations with the west. remember that a few months ago, the chinese tried to mediate between most grand kids. so uh, but basically trimming away from a deal that is exacerbating the war. and that is raising captions of the korean peninsula does not make, trying to look good in the eyes of the west. does not make it look good, does not make it look as a single responsible, international stakeholder. whether this is a concern in beijing will learn very soon, i'm sure. especially if the, if the deal with been most couldn't be on young goes through you had it from rough analysts, konstantin. i got thank you very much. thank you man. nearly 3000 people are confirmed dead from fridays i was clicking the wrong code. difficulty in reaching villages in remote mountain responses

neither the russians nor the north koreans are confirming media reports that comes online is planning to meet the bottom of present this month. russia's defense minister says plans, joint military exercises with north korea have been discussed. how does your cost or has more down for us from washington dc. the meeting between kim john and vladimir putin may occurred this month with the north korean leader traveling by arm or train it to the russian coastal city of flattery, of a stalk and potentially from there onto moscow. the white house said last week that high level talks between russia and north korea weren't actively advancing with tune and 10 exchanging letters about a possible arm steel. the us is that last year north korea delivered to russia in century rockies and missiles and russia has been asking for more since russia's defense minister, travel to pyongyang last month to meet with ken. and then a north korean delegation visited russia and a parents planning expedition for tens of possible visit. so what would a potential deal look like? rushes after artillery and raw mate

of it from his calculation of a war of attrition on the north korean piece of it. this partnership. yeah, it helps in terms of key areas with the north koreans have had stumbling blocks. they've tried twice down with the space launch vehicle tests, both have failed and there's a critical element in terms of getting to the next stage of advancing. not only their space launch vehicle program, but also their icbm program. so there's a unique type of partnership here that doesn't bode well in terms of international security. right. to get your input, dr. jump from the have it kennedy school many thanks. thank you. the right time to take a look at the most stories making headlines around the world. newest house vacate kevin mccarthy has launched an impeachment inquiry into president joe biden of his family's business dealing rescue. coffee says the inquiry will focus on quite a piece of palate obstruction interruption. whitehouse as dismissed the impatient push as politically motive, the apple has on valve the iphone 15. the 1st i phoned to use the us base, the charging

the north korean leader's visit to russia does not end there.orrow kim jong-un plans to visit the far eastern federal university in vladivostok, the regional branch of the russian academy of sciences gennady kostyulev, yan sovetsky dmitry matyushin channel one, primorsky territory. now the situation in the special operation zone of the ministry of defense has published footage of the destruction of armored vehicles of the ukrainian armed forces in the kherson direction; russian paratroopers struck, loitering ammunition hit an enemy tank with an accurate hit and the vehicle blazing. over the past week, the russian armed forces carried out 11 group strikes with high-precision weapons, as well as drones, on ports of production and storage sites without crew boats for ammunition and western weapons, as a result of which the logistics of the armed forces, which operates in the donetsk and zaporozhye directions in the dnepropetrovsk region at the airfield , were disrupted five combat aircraft were disabled. in addition, the enemy is trying to leave ar

china will be watching this new blossoming relationship quite uncomfortably, certainly from the north koreankorea over the last few years, because of this increasing isolation, has become more and more dependent on china. china has been keeping it afloat, essentially, we think, by providing it with food aid and by turning a blind eye to those breaching sanctions. but if north korea feels that it can get not only economic assistance from russia, but also military assistance, then the the sway that china is able to have over north korea... north korea might be less inclined to listen to china. russia editor steve rosenberg says official announcements are not expected. not so much coming out from the meeting. there were some public remarks made at the start of the talks. vladimir putin said they had been talking about economic cooperation, humanitarian issues, butjust before that he had given his guest a guided tour of russia's most modern spaceport showing launch pads and russian rockets, so it would be logical to assume that the question of space will also be on the agenda of these talks. we

and what could north korean weapons mean for the war and ukraine? well, without knowing what exactly is going to be delivered in which quantities, when it's hard to say how this will shape the battle on the ground. but to what we did here from the national security council spokesperson, john kirby, he did acknowledge a few days ago that artillery was likely on the list. raw materials was likely on the list as the the counter offensive in ukraine has largely centered around a gun fight. and of course, you need a lot of artillery for that. but he also said that from the us, his perspective, the fact that russia is having to turn to what he calls the rogue states. like north korea is a sign of desperation and weak this on the part of lagging or putting. now whether or not that is true, of course we cannot verify, but suffice to say, this is evidence of a world order being cemented where you have western allies and support for ukraine on one side and russia and pariah states on the other. and of course, that will have implications for the international

yeah, it helps in terms of key areas where the north koreans have had stumbling blocks. they've tried twice down with a space launch vehicle tests. both have failed and is a critical element in terms of getting to the next stage of advancing. not only their space launch vehicle program, but also their icbm program. so there's a unique type of partnership here that doesn't bode well in terms of international security. that was dr. john puck with the career project at the hobbit kennedy school. they're moving on the nearly 3000 people have been consented have as a result of products as quite in america, rescue as of yet to reach some remote mountain villages, which suffered some of the west devastation the deputies john phillips. shouts reports from the village of any and tyler in the atlas mountains. we see the damage before we even inside of the village. it's difficult enough our little car to get through. difficult to imagine what it will be like for laurie's full of 8. we have to leave the car and walk the last stretch its hearts and everybody seems way down by exhaust

one of the areas of cooperation is the use of north korean labor in some russian regions.of the scale are the potential benefits of cooperation with the dprk, which are not obvious to everyone, because the image of a caricatured red monarchy dominates the minds of decision makers who have not studied the context as seriously as the reverents, and on the other hand, the relatively understandable risks from situations when a country that voted for sanctions against north korea begins to actively violate them. and we begin to actively violate them in order to transfer them to a normal format. now we are at that stage global turbulence, when the old world order is already beginning to show cracks, and the contours of the new one have not yet been defined. and this is precisely why many public discussions, including the discussion of how much it is necessary or not necessary to ignore sanctions resolutions. this is all talk about the current cup that we are trying to glue with more glue than the headlight. it's clear. fine. thank you very much , we’ll talk about porcelain glue

well, i think that the north korean regime of russia did not stop cooperating with anyone because theys, as always , north korea was an ally of the soviet union, and the soviet union, accordingly, was an ally of north korea as well. all the more. now they are constantly cooperating. see where, say, north korean rocket technology and other things appeared in north korea , and where it got the very weapons of the soviets. standards, the same standards, shells of soviet standards, there is a lot of all this and it is clear that they cooperate because they are part of the evil in the city that exists in the world , for example, with which we all have to fight , and here are statements from the state department and from the state department of the united states, they say that they will not hesitate to impose new sanctions if russia is like the gdr, they will start transferring weapons if the united states notices it, well, you see , the media write about what was already supplied to the art outfits from russia federation to the russian federation from the dprk and short-range radio missiles

uh, north koreans. e, i.o the car. uh, the members of the delegation come out, ah , high-ranking military men who took part in the negotiations are seated in their cars now, and the mourners, by the way, are the head of kim jong-un’s security, he gets into the aurus. and uh, also now the movement will begin and they continue to say goodbye to each other. but vladimir putin and kim jong-un do not let each other go. there were negotiations. fruitful the negotiations were long, and the negotiations were very, very important. without exaggeration , i will repeat once again that the whole world is watching these negotiations. although they come up with different reasons, it’s about north korean soldiers on the border and something else that the motorcade began to move. very close, literally a kilometer from here, there is a station where the armored train actually stands. a classic picture of kim jong-un’s security escorting their leader’s maybach, all with suitcases. and here, in fact, is a car with two flags, by

who comes from the european part, you go to bed in moscow and have to get up according to local north koreann russia for the second time but here, at the vostochnaya cosmodrome, for the first time, it must be said that north korea is a space power in 2012. it has already launched its satellite and there will likely be talk about cooperation, including in the space sector, as vladimir putin just confirmed to us there will be talk about defense technical cooperation. everything's ready, damn it. when it flies, do you think it will be ready this year, and the launch will most likely be in the first quarter for a manned flight. we hope from the mountain, definitely. so the north korean leader's map is approaching assembly test complex of roscosmos. many of shoigu’s people, the russian minister of defense , understand that military technical issues, and the president has just confirmed this to us, will be on the agenda. dear chairman. i am very glad to see you again and to welcome you to russia with the way the border is developing. this is the procedure we have and uh. this is our new object. i

imran: we have not really heard of a north korean-russian detente. north korea was seen as something that was more convenient than perhaps a trade partner. has this come as a surprise to the u.s. establishment? >> this is a sort of turning up the tables with russia appealing to north korea for weapons. it is definitely a shift from the past. the united states has been watching these movements closely for the last year when it was indicated north korea might be given weapons to the wagner group. it has been on the radar for a while. it shows the need of russia right now to be looking at states like north korea and iran because their own weapons are depleting and because sanctions are working. i think it is a pretty optimistic spin on it. there is a change in some of the geopolitics right now. if china leads into this for joint drills, that is solidarity think united states would not want to see. -- the united states will not want to see. imran: is it possible you can get this deal done on a practical level? >> on a practical level, rush and north korea

stop north korean leader kim jong-un from coming to our east.generation of the ruling dynasty occupies all the highest positions in the state leader of the workers' party of korea head of government and supreme commander-in-chief 30 years old kim marshall 40 generalissimo and this is not a joke numbers north korean army, 200,000 million people, country population 26 million. came to russia on an armored train to have a technical education, especially interested in testing missile technology, in no hurry. putin also has time, but we see that defense minister shoigu is in the delegation. well, yes, he was there recently. we talked a lot about this , we received the question well, we were able to understand that there are certain restrictions, for example, the international regime of non-proliferation of ballistic missiles is known as the hague code, which russia recognized and sanctions in address of north korea supported by the security council. un putin of course he knows all this. well, there are already certain restrictions. russia complies wi

socialist korean people's democratic republic in the north and pro -american capitalist republic koreae south, each with its own economic model, constitution and the hope of someday uniting the peninsula under its rule, the intensive development of the dprk largely provided assistance from the french camp and , above all, the ussr, it accounted for almost 90% of foreign trade relations, the government actively invested in heavy industry and military-industrial complex south korea at that time was completely different from the modern republic after the war. it was heavily damaged by the japanese. occupation of an agrarian state that remained the poorest in in the region, until the sixties , the authoritarian dictator lee son man was in power . it is not surprising that military clashes constantly took place between the two koreas, which eventually escalated into a full-fledged war in the fifties. in the people's army of the north. there were more than 180,000 people, almost twice as many as in the south korean army, but the united states fought on the side of the south under the un flag

we know that the north korean economy was badly hit. it. the north korea closed its board is because of the because of coated pandemic. so that means even trade with china, its biggest trading partner suffered. and we also know from reports that north korea has been suffering from severe food shortages this year. it was also hit by floods that would have affected food supplies really badly. so this is something that it needs and also un sanctions on north korea exporting labor as a broad this would have impacted the north korean economy. wouldn't have been able to get the remittances from the brought that it's so badly relies on. and we've also seen that kim met with the russian minister of natural trade and natural resources and ecology. when he arrived at the board of town to pass on on tuesday morning, i'm present at that meeting with a north korean official who's in charge of the economy. so the speculation but trade is also going to be an important issue at this upcoming meeting between can and put in those specifically, what north kore

but this russia north korean cooperation, may guarantee north korea military capability but i doubt it. my friend had that for a while. the vote of north korea's mission is not functioning. although the munitions from north korea, it would not be functional much. at the same time russia has to deliver, it is not much the case of kind of an exchange. i think hooton might have energy and food and a change would become pulley. that is what i am talking about. >> i don't want to repeat what all my friends have said, but i will agree with sydney seiler, because it reminds me of the old wendy's burger commercial, where's the beef? the only beef i see is the size of kim jong oon. there was a lot of hype, lots of expectations, just was not in my opinion a game changer. his ability to maneuver diplomatically is pretty limited unless donald trump comes back and does his second a love affair with kim jong-un, then his hopes will be high but it is nothing, it is a very small beef patty. i agree with sue because i think what is happening now, historically, is that north korea has built up enough as

on august 13, putin and north korean leader kim jong-un met at the vostochnaya cosmodrome in the farst of the amur region, and there was also an interesting twist, because the main ones, well, when was the news from the trip wrong? it was a long time ago, shoigu, it was only well, there was someone there, well, i don’t know, a little more than a month ago, well, they talked about it in a different way, well, now actually, well, first of all, the main news is that it turned out to be a chair that was prepared for the air conditioner, and about that just told literally everyone said that it was very strange, even in the cadres, representatives of the north korean delegation are preparing a place where a large number of officials will sit at the negotiations . the white is sitting in gloves very attentively spreads it if you pay attention white with a cloth then he looks at how much with a flashlight there everything is reliable and the other person checks the reliability конструкции его порочность in general, this kind of protocol thing got into the cadre of our journalists, well, that

coming to you live from berlin. russia look, set to ask north korea for weapons. us media, say north korean leader kim jong, will travel to russia for costs with vladimir putin. the 2 countries have so far denied that any north korean arms have been used in russia's war against ukraine. also coming up more migrant boats leaving to an asia, we made a man prepared to risk his life to travel to europe and a smuggler center profit from the dangers during the hello. i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. the us says north korean leader kim jong own plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president vladimir putin to discuss providing moscow with weapons. us media said the visit could take place within the month, citing a named officials the pair last month and 2019 john young and moscow have both previously denied that north korea is providing russia with supplies board. warren crane, west and officials say both must go n t r, burning through huge amounts of munitions as the more entries. it's 19. steve w's former musket bureau chief, your, your shadow was covering this story for us fro

the north koreans have kept his whereabouts a total secret. behind the scenes, an extraordinary operation has been unfolding. sweden played chief negotiator, acting on behalf of the us. they went into north korea to get private king and took him across the border to china, where a us team was waiting to fly him home. there is a slither of geopolitical hope in all this that, despite current military tensions between north korea and the united states, both sides were able to arrange travis king's safe return, and with help from china. a us official said this showed the importance of keeping channels of communication open, while adding they'd made no concessions to the north to make this happen. private king is said to be in good health and good spirits, excited to be heading home. any disciplining will wait, the us says, until his medical and emotional needs have been met and he's been reunited with his family. jean mackenzie, bbc news, in seoul. earlier, i spoke to our north america correspondent sean dilley about the case. sketchy. little sket

back to you. >> and, what is interesting, here the north koreans supplying russians with artillery shells and u.n. security council resolutions and the russian supply to north korea with technology which satellite acknowledging and submarine technology that also would be violations of u.n. security council resolutions. what it seems to indicate here right now, with russia now in this -- beijing, pyongyang, and moscow, north korea can now act with more impunity than it has in the past. because it has a new supplier for oil, it has a new supply of munitions and -- up against moscow as much as they want. but it seems to be -- >> you are absolutely right. north korea has found a new friend in russia to supply advance technology like satellites supply, a point additional technologies like nuclear powered submarines, and the international community, u.s. and allies in the, region i are watching this very cautiously. do u.s. and its allies in particular just scratching their heads, wondering what could possibly deter north korea. north korea having this meeting and going on anyway, vladimir puti

these are arms that north korean has in larger amounts. arms that north korean has in largeramounts.unts. from the north korean point of view they also have their focus on weaponry and their hope will be there for will be willing to provide some technology to assist with both their submarine programme and also perhaps in the area of satellite technology as well. the eastern economic forum is seen by moscow as a way to deepen their economic ties in the east — that's something that's become a huge priority for them under western sanctions. will this eef, and a summit with kim, help reduce russia's isolation? quite the reverse. it will demonstrate the extent of russia's isolation. about the forum, back in 2013 president putin announced that it was a strategic priority to develop the far east of russia. alongside that, trying to encourage foreign investment to improve infrastructure within that region. they launched eastern economic forum. and the idea was for it to be very much a data loss in the russian far east. they had some initial success from 2016—2019 you had top regional leaders

time, one would be that the region becomes some of destabilized and more threatening uh with the north korean modernizing their nuclear weapons, however at the same time, north korea has reasonable security concerns, keep in mind that the us usually promotes this and pressure as anything else in terms of meeting, their security concern would be considered to be a peacement, so this only increases what north koreans consider need for proper the turnt, and the main equalizer in the security strategy. be nuclear weapons, so unfortunately this is reality, and what kind of reaction are you expecting to see from the united states and its allies? well, it's limited what can be done now, again, the the main problem is that we never uh try to sit down and deescalate, so instead, likely there will be a further escalation, so the us will interpret this as being aggressive on the part of the south korean. so they will try to step up the pressure even further and that would require the north korean to respond in kind in order to step up their nuclear weapons program. again, this is what's referred to as t

right, so both north korean come, your korean russia have confirmed at the 2 leaders of co. yeah. and most scale will meet up the north street run career simple news agencies of guten had invited came to the top summit and that the kremlin has officially confirmed that kim will be visiting russia and the key south korean government official also said earlier today that an armor train that came usually rides for 4 and visits, had departed with the virginia leader on board for rochelle on sunday afternoon. so given his task trips and how long i took him to for kim is expected to arrive in black bus, stop on tuesday, and then need preteen on either 12 or 13. but we're still waiting for more details . and it's worth noting that in the 1st time, more than 4 years, the north korean leader is making an international trip. his last trip abroad was also to bloody boss stuck in 2019. and that was before the king demick. and this was at the time his for summit with pruitt and after program failed to come to a middle ground with then us president donald trump on nuclear disarmament talks. yeah

strike on the north korean mainland, and so now that north korea has this strength, the us and southng to out maneuver north korean submarines with he just equipped destroyers for instance, but north korean missiles are capable of evading all us missile defenses. that are deployed here to the korean peninsula. now russia says it's a shot down of four ukrainian drones over northwestern part of the black. sea and the crimean peninsula. russia's defense ministry said four other drones were also destroyed overnight over its southwestern uh regions of kursk and belgrad. no information on possible damage or casualties is currently available. this is the latest in a series of ukrainian drone attacks on russian positions. meanwhile ukraine's southern port of odessa was hit by russian missiles overnight, attack destroyed grain stores. ukraine's air force says intercepted 19 cruise missiles and drones during the... attack, western countries, especially the us, has supplied ukraine with advanced and sophisticated weapons to fight the russians, and it comes as moscow has worn time and again, arm

seeing because the rushing news agency also report including saying, applying to rival how his north korean count over king john then showing great interest in rocket technology and expanding the regina present in space boot and also said he and his north spring counterpart, we'll talk about a wide array of relevant issues without haste, specifically here. so we'll have to see what type of breakthroughs will be mentioned, but most likely in regards to military cooperation. right. not just our, the full kinda arrives of amazing as he was on his way. north korea fly to ballistic missiles towards the sea. what message is shown young trying to send here? would you say? as you mentioned, there were to ballistic missiles, launched towards the sea without controlling even being in the country. and that's pipe worse on because you're in korea, we're taking it as a security threat. experts are mainly worried that it's kim improved and were to agree to strengthen their military cooperation in this type of geo political tension. we could also be seeing a possible 3 way naval troll with china and that

strike on the north korean mainland, and so now that north korea has this strength. "the us and south korea have nothing they can do except these types of drills in the sea where they are trying to outmaneuver north korean submarines with he just equipped destroyers for instance, but north korean mian missiles are capable of evading all us missile defenses that are deployed here to the korean peninsula. it's time now for the news review of this bulleton hundreds of settlers backed by this military mask drawing condemnation from muslim trees. the settlers tur the compound and formed rituals there, which are considered sacriligious to the site. saudi arabia and asia perhaps separately condemned the move, describing as a provocative act. saudi arabia is minister. said firmly stand by the palestinian people and supports all efforts to end the occupation. egypt also called influential international parties to fulfill their responsibility to protect palestinian holy sites and the legitimate rights. under decades long agreements signed by israel, non-muslim worship at alaas

the 2 countries of so far to know that any north korean farms have been used in russia's war against ukraine, also coming up more migrant boats. leaving tunisia we made a man prepare to risk his life to travel to europe. and a smuggler set to profit from the dangerous journey. plus southeast asian leaders faced tough challenges at the out of town. summit in jakarta, delegates are set to discuss the prices in myanmar and rising tensions over the south. china sea and african leaders, gathering nairobi for a summer, came to funding climate change. we looked at how kenya is already leaving the way by generating most of his power from renewal of the hello. i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. the united states is north korean leader kim jong on plans to travel to russia for a meeting with president vladimir putin to discuss providing moscow with weapons. us media said the visit could take place within the month, starting a named officials. the her last met in 2019 young young and most go have both previously denied the nor 3 is providing russia with supplies for it's more in ukraine.

taking this aggressive step to provide equipment to the russians is a sign that the north koreans do not care what we think or what the international community thinks. but it's also a sign that things are not going the way vladimir putin planned, the fact that he's having to buy equipment and material from north korea. usually it's the other way around. bulk of the munitions the north koreans have gotten over the years, a lot of it has come from russia, so it shows a sign of vladimir putin's war in ukraine is not going the way it should be going, but also an opportunity. i've made it very clear, we are in a new cold war with the chinese government. the chinese government does not want to see north korea at war with south korea, that's going to lead to millions of north korean refugees on the chinese border, so a possibility to work with the chinese against the north koreans in this case. >> sandra: very interesting. >> john: will, you've represented texas when you were in congress. you just came back from three days on the border. wondering what you saw there, because the "washington

on the current trip , the north korean leader is accompanied by an impressive delegation of high-rankingicials. members of the country's leadership, including the head of the cabinet, the meeting place of the russian -north korean leaders is an assembly test complex. cosmodrome. cortege. vladimir putin's president arrived first answered journalists' questions about the upcoming negotiations, namely technical cooperation will be discussed. let's talk about all the issues , there is a leisurely, quiet time, but we see that defense minister shoigu is in the delegation. well, yes, he was there recently. he talked a lot and they received us well with a lot of questions. and as for space, will we help? uh, north korea is launching its we, that's why we came here, well, the leader of north korea is showing great interest. they are trying to develop rocket technology in space. we have good competencies. here we'll show you. our new object on the street when we entered there is, unfortunately, not soaring. well, i think, like everyone else, who comes from the european part, you go to bed in mosco

how much help vladimir putin will give the north korean leader is open to question but he has the wayso support north korea economically and militarily. russia editor steve rosenberg says official announcements are not expected. not so much coming out from the meeting. there were some public remarks made at the start of the talks. vladimir putin said they had been talking about economic cooperation, humanitarian issues, butjust before that he had given his guest a guided tour of russia's most modern spaceport showing launch pads and russian rockets, so it would be logical to assume that the question of space will also be on the agenda of these talks. we know that is something that interests kim jong—un very much indeed. he has tried twice and failed twice to launch a military spy satellite in north korea. also at these talks, spotted there, the russian defence minister sergei shoigu, who was in pyongyang a couple of months ago looking at north korean weaponry. so again it would be logical to assume the question of military cooperation or military issues will be discussed, too. that bri

in the case of russia putting has the ability to access artillery shells that the north koreans are having their inventory and other munitions for the battlefield. and the case of north korea kim is able to, to get the russian assistance that he needs in terms of getting his space lunch vehicle program to the next stage. and eventually putting a satellite in toward a little over a year ago. the russians helped ron in terms of putting their cam relating to board date. and so a very similar type of case study could play out here in terms of a rush at north korea cooperation. does it appear to you that the threat of more sanctions from washington has much of an effect on how north korea and russia do business at this point? so if you look at it, both countries, that both regimes have been heavily sanctioned in terms of what 10 to the paid, they're very experienced in that space. and so with the threat, a potential additional sanctions applied to russia and north korea. think these are things that are built into the calculation by both regions. so from that perspective of the trend to capabili
