president donald trump in seoul for his long anticipated visit with the future direction of relations with north korea in the balance. he is the guest of the south korean counterpart moon j.n. who's been a significant influence in encouraging dialogue with the north but since fabrice failure of the handle the summit between president trump and kim jong un the process is stalled north korea has returned to some of its hostile rhetoric and seems to blame south korea in part for the failure in hanoi for south korea a successful trump visit would help restore moon's position as an important intermediary with the u.s. administration or i think they're also interested in sending a message to north korea. the man still has some sway with the administration. when the administration is perhaps willing to move and be a little bit more flexible when the north koreans can believe him the highlight of this trip is expected to be trump's visit to the demilitarized zone separating the 2 koreas and the intriguing prospect of a meeting with kim jong un after a saturday morning tweet that he would meet

and people in seoul were dusting out bomb shelters. they thought there could be a war, accidental or intentional. there was a lot of anger with president trump that he was provoking kim jong-un. now the president seems to take credit for dialing back the same tension that he himself dialed up. tension that president trump very distinctly dialed up. >> it is now the top of the hour 2:00 in the afternoon there by the 00dmz in seoul, south korea. we are covering breaking news at this moment. msnbc. and we're interrupting normal programming to bring you the developments that we've just learned about in the last hour here at msnbc from a press conference between president the president s of south korea, moon jae-in. the big headline, when the president said this, confirming through his words that he indeed will be meeting with the leader of north korea, kim jong un. th this is what he saidki within t last 45 minutes. >> we're going to the dmz border, and i'll be meeting with chairman kim. i look forward to it very much. i look forwardwa to

laura bickerjoins us, seoul correspondent. after the collapse of the hanoi summit. you could look at this in two ways, one, a glorified photo opportunity, what could they do in such a short space of time? donald trump will be in this demilitarised zone for less than two hours, what could possibly be discussed in that time, especially afterthe could possibly be discussed in that time, especially after the breakup of the hanoi summit and considering the positions of the us, they still wa nt the positions of the us, they still want north korea to denuclearise first before they prepare to ease economic sanctions. north korea want the opposite, they want a step— by—step proposal whereby they give up something and eventually over time sanctions are eased. when it comes to the two positions, that hasn't changed, so what can a handshake change? 0ne hasn't changed, so what can a handshake change? one of the things people keep telling me is the decades—old distrust that exists in north korea and washington when it comes to these two ene

i'm mariko oi, in seoul. the headlines: a handshake and a moment of history — donald trump becomes the first serving american president to set foot in north korea. stepping across that line was a great honour, a lot of progress has been made, a lot of friendships have been made, and this has been in particular a great friendship, so i just want to thank you. that was very quick notice, and i want to thank you. some criticise the groundbreaking visit as a tv stunt but can it lead to concrete progress? i'm kasia madera, in london. also in the programme: hong kong braces for more protests, as it marks 22 years since the british handed it back to china. and sir david attenborough joins kylie and the cure on the final day of the glastonbury festival. this is bbc world news, it's news day. good morning. it's midnight in london, and 8:00am in seoul where about 50 kilometres to the north of here, president trump made history by becoming the first sitting us president to cross into north korea. mr trump and kimjung—un

the bbc‘s stephen mcdonell is in seoul.mp has arrived here in seoul, south korea. from here, he says he will be travelling to the demilitarised zone, where he is hoping to meet north korea's leader for a handshake. given the short notice, it's not clear yet whether kim jong—un will in fact travel down to his side of the heavily militarised demilitarised zone for that symbolic handshake, but many analysts think that he probably will, because there is nothing much for him to lose. north korea has always craved equality with the united states, and for those two leaders to come together to shake hands across that frontier, i think both sides might think it is an opportunity just too good to lose. also on the agenda at that 6—20 summit — world leaders are making fresh committments to tackling climate change. donald trump — who pulled his country out of the paris accord on cutting greenhouse gases — had wanted turkey and brazil to withdraw as well. but all of the 19 other heads of government reaffirmed the need to meet the paris

and china in osaka and scheduled visit by president trump to seoul. while in addition to monitoring interactions between the leaders of the region, it is interesting to note that president moon jay publicly sent a message to chairman kim during his recent visit to scandinavia. in his speech to the swedish parliament exactly ten days ago, he urged north korea that if sanction measures were to be lifted, the country would need to prove its genuine intentions for peace building. to this end he said continue the dialogues with members of the international community for north korea are vital in building trust. president moon emphasized the importance of trust between the international community and north korea as well as trust between south and north korea and trust in the value of dialogue itself. well, ladies and gentlemen, the path to complete denuclearization and peace on the korean peninsula is never an easy one. some of you may say it is an impossible job, but koreans believe these goals can be and should be achieved with the determination to stride

nick bryant, bbc news, seoul. our correspondent laura bicker is in the south korean capital, seoul.ut whether another set of powerful pictures like today's leads to any change on denuclearisation? well, that jaw—dropping change on denuclearisation? well, thatjaw—dropping moment of watching aus thatjaw—dropping moment of watching a us president step into hostile enemy territory has been tempered by criticism that this might be fake diplomacy, empty pageantry, a political stunt. but some things have been achieved. talks between north korea and the united states are scheduled to restart, talks which had been in a comatose state. it's also worth pointing out that kim jong—un has political it's also worth pointing out that kimjong—un has political pressures at home. he has to sell the idea of diplomacy to deltas and after coming back from hanoi, his summit with donald trump in vietnam empty—handed, he will have been embarrassed. we can now say to doubters, the us president came to me. it may make the whole process of talks a little easier. i think it is also worth pointing out that when

anna coren covering this from seoul. i wonder if south korean officials expected these discussions to go on as long as they have at this point. have they had any heads up? as we noted earlier, moon jae-in is not in the room. this is a bilateral. that means two. he's been excluded to some degree, at the choice, at the preference, really, of the north korean leader. >> reporter: yeah, that's absolutely right, jim. we did see president moon jae-in. he was outside. he greeted kim as well as trump when they came onto the south korean side of the dmz, there were hand shakes and greetings, but you're absolutely right. i mean, president moon is nowhere to be seen in this bilateral meeting. south koreans were caught off guard along with everybody else. they've been scrambling to make sure that this meeting happens, even though things have been strained between the north koreans and south koreans. but we know president moon has been working tirelessly to try to get these talks back on track. when he came into office. moon was a li

and second point, victor said he expected a big visit to seoul could happen possibly.ne thing we need to look out for, for that to happen, south korea has to be able to give something to north korea. i think one of the scenarios that could come up now, we'll soon see, victor talked about worst-case scenario of president trump making announcement, not another summit, not having gotten anything from north korea, but what could be worse, he could announce perhaps as good gesture measure, some relief on sanctions by allowing for example the -- complex to reopen. give something to north korea at this juncture without having gotten anything from the north koreans. and last question on president moon jae-in. president moon was instrumental for this whole peace process. south koreans really want to engage and pursue dialogue. moon on diplomacy after 2017 with whole fire fury phase, it is president moon who invited kim to those olympics in south korea, and really pursued this track with diplomacy. president moon i do think was very important in terms of getting -- putting in th

we know he's heading to seoul.he'll be having a dinner with the south korean president moon jae-in this evening before commitments tomorrow, sunday. of course, what has overshadowed everything about this trip to seoul is the fact that he has said he will go to the dmz. and he is going to invite kim jong-un to come to the border as well and have a handshake with him. >> kim jong-un was very receptive, he responded. so, we'll see. because tomorrow, we're going to the dmz. i said i'while i'm there, i'll shake his hand. we get along. >> reporter: now, it appeared to be a spontaneous invitation. we don't know whether or not for sure it was. we did have an extremely fast response with north korea with the state-run kpna, far quicker than i've seen in the years i've been here. seeing that it is a very interesting suggestion, that they would like a more official invitation, with north korea and its protocol is not quite as fast and loose as the u.s. president. at this point, we've heard from the u.s. president, they may or

joining us from seoul, south korea, with john roberts. it's a little after 3:00 in the afternoon in south korea. a lot can come out of this historic meeting at the dmz and what it can mean for future u.s.-north korea relations. reporter: the president went to the observation post which is a few hundred yard away from the peace house. we have seen the famous pictures of the blue buildings where officials from north and south korea could get together to discuss cross border issues. that is where president trump and kim jong-un and moon jae-in will meet. it's where all of the american presidents go when they go to visit the dmz. most of american presidents pick up a pair of binoculars and look across the dmz. president trump chose not to on this particular visit. but where he's going now is the dining facility where he's going to meet with some of the service members who are posted along the demilitarized zone. both american and south korean soldier. you will use relic collected over the years, then he'll travel to the area where the peace h

president to touchdown here in seoul.e will be heading for a dinner with the south korean president moon jae-in and then he will be here tomorrow as well. but of course all the things that we were expecting have been completely overshadowed by what we have just heard from the u.s. president, the fact that he has put this invitation out to the north korean leader to meet him when he goes to the dmz, the demilitarized zone, saying that he hopes that he will be there, saying that he was asked in fact would you step across the border, the military demarcation line, with kim jung-un, and he said sure, i'd be comfortable with that. let's listen to a little more of what the president had to say. >> kim jung-un was very receptive. he responded and so we'll see. because tomorrow we're going to the dmz. i said while i'm there, i'll shake his hand. we get along. there has been no nuclear tests. no long range ballistic tests. gave us back on yur hostages wh was great and a lot of good things are happening over there. so we'll see. i
