no, one of the key things they were looking at from seoul was this "end of war" declaration.only ended with an armistice. they‘s never been a peace treaty. both north and south korea have signed declarations that they want to try to end the korean war by the end of this year. we‘re running out of time now. the us is unwilling to give the koreas this, because they feel that this would be too much of a concession at this time, while north korea is not showing any real signs that they‘re willing to hand over their nuclear weapons and disarm. so this is one of the things they were looking for here. but, in terms of verifiable denuclearisation, letting inspectors in is a first step, even if they wouldn‘t need this nuclear site any more. i think other analysts might turn round to you and say, "hang on a second, they need to inspect other sites and be allowed in in free rein," but i think this would at least be some step forward. chineses authorities in beijing have confirmed that the missing interpol chief is in the country and being investigated for suspected violations of the law

we have paula hancocks from seoul. a magnificent piece of art. this is an issue of a brutal dictator. >> reporter: exactly, christine. there have been eyebrows raised at this talk from the u.s. president. it is no secret he is focusing more on the fact he has a personal relationship with kim jong-un. it is that relationship that he is focusing on as opposed to the exact details of any step by step denuclearization. we have certainly heard from many north korean experts questioning whether or not north korea is getting the upper hand. whether kim jong-un is playing the u.s. president by sending these letters and effectively flattering him into this kind of response. officially there will be no response to this from the south korean government. moon jae-in just had a summit in pyongyang. you saw the two smiling and hugging and they appeared to be becoming closer. i think what we're expecting now is the second summit with donald trump and kim jong-un could well go ahead. all three leaders appear to want this to happen. u.
