the foreign minister of russia sergei lavrov has beenin minister of russia sergei lavrov has been inh the north koreans and offered this invitation to visit moscow and a p pa re ntly invitation to visit moscow and apparently it has been accepted. it's not clear when exactly he will go. it would probably be easier for the prospect of a summit success if he went afterwards but it's something the americans will be keeping an eye on. also the north koreans state news agency quoted him as saying he wanted to solve the issues on a stage by stage basis. which is again something the americans don't want. they want quite rapid and concrete disarmament before offering any sanctions relief. but the russians, sergei lavrov has offered support for this phased approach the north koreans wa nt to phased approach the north koreans want to take. i think it shows that with any negotiations they will still be quite difficult even at the summit with donald trump does go ahead. we are hopeful about that, quite expectant about what will be in the letter the north korean delegation will hand over to the pr

well if you remember all of this kick started on march fourth when sergei screwball and yulia were found on a park bench they were taken to a hospital it was later announced that they had been poisoned by a nerve agent that was dubbed novacek and mediately all hands pointed to russia the british government if you recall said it's highly likely that moscow was behind this they said that only russia would have the operate of means the motive and the a source of being able to get their hands on novacek so they blamed russia immediately they expelled diplomats and became the biggest diplomatic row between russia and britain certainly in decades while that whole time russia of course saying it had nothing to do with the attack they said they would have any motive for doing something like this and have been denying all along having had to do anything to do with this poison in while asking to be able to participate in the investigation that actually is still going on all of these months later we do know that hundreds of detectives have been working here examining as many as five thousand hours

and his daughter so sergey lavrov was confronted in the interview without. the british state of the coverup of this whole incident i don't exclude this one as long as they don't give us information you know that about the russians it is citizens who have died in london during the posters all altered cases have been investigated in the secret for we don't understand. and if you want to know the reason. well it's you know one of the ways guys who is the. united kingdom but the political from what is going on. actually it's it's come to think of it it's an interesting situation whereby the country which is living in the european union has determined the european union for this sort of rush when they were ready for all you know look at all some of the europeans you know say you must expose the russians diplomats you must expel them so they did most of them some good now again official london has been maintaining that it was only moscow we had both motive and means to carry out a poisoning like this one in fact a lot of european countries sided with the united ki

another first in the diplomatic dance of increasing complexity foreign minister sergei lavrov invited kim to add to his busy summit schedule and visit moscow but it was lavrov the parents' support for kim's position in readiness for his summit with u.s. president donald trump that will be the most welcome outcome for north korea. said north korea must get relief from sanctions and quickly. it is absolutely obvious that starting any discussion of the nuclear problem and all other programs on the korean peninsula they cannot be complete without repealing all sanctions on north korea how that will go ahead will be a question of the skill of the negotiators but it cannot be done in one sitting u.s. officials based in seoul have been in near daily discussions with their north korean counterparts at the truce village apartment john that's in the demilitarized zone separating the two koreas. how much progress has been made is unknown or whether north korea's stated commitment to denuclearization comes with a specific timetable and a process for verification that's acceptable to the u.s. i th

sergey lavrov and kim jong whom are talking behind this wall we were asked to wait in this. room so let's just have a walk around and take a look at what they have to offer a. dark north korean chocolate and i can tell you that it tastes just like any other dark chocolate anywhere around the world some lemonade. so this is how suddenly you get treated to cranberry juice at residents. i can barely remember being given such. locations around the world we were just. at the present which is just outside the doors. of the city. and given the fact that we're inside the residence of the north korean leader kim jong un again i'm just going to say i'm absolutely shocked. and. it is really disappointing that we won't be able to find out exactly what's being said behind these stories but just a few hours before mr kim and mr lavrov met the russian foreign minister said in making the korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons is a very delicate issue moscow maintains that the interests of all sides must be respected. so that said it all ended with inviting to russia see whether the north

lavrov and the defense minister as well sergey shaw so you. haven't yet heard about where precisely that meeting will take place the logistics is still a little unclear we don't know when or where the meeting will occur but we know that it will be in a country the meeting is unlikely to take place either in russia or the united states but obviously a great deal to discuss discuss we have seen a deterioration in the relationship between washington and moscow recently not least over alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election which no doubt came up in bolton's meetings there in moscow. i think we can listen and know that john consummate our press conference. finals. thank you all very much for being here i want to thank you interfax again for hosting it's been done for two years by my calculation since i've been in this room but i'm going to be back especially about showing what you got out of this is that the still up against it in that folks so probably just that the middle. aged it is usually a personal struggle

my comp aoe and sergey lavrov will will get together and i would expect there to be other preparatory meetings as well. yes still some plus. some it even though it's a company and them it is without them. we need. a motion to steer the steering your company at the go back on this g.e. that is without the. on the got the list. of up there with the president that still needs to be. that way to teach you. because he didn't put in celestial says it's him. but i did so didn't keep it in the. new i mean the steps and i found that india was good that bump is going to see if they can use some of that on the deal level in the bill to give it that anything that's the nature of it was something. you. see well that's the promise of your question is wrong since they were illegal we see. them still. up close and yet even. having this happen but the most i mean the oblique confuse scolding me as i call. matthew chance from from seeing this whole thing why do you think it is appropriate for the us president to have some meetings like given that russia is not trying any of the i believe she's been sac

to carry out a poisoning like this one when it comes to a more generic story line of the interview sergey lavrov also has stressed that in his opinion we are already living in what he calls the post to west to world and as for russia's role in this post west world he says that more school plans to play a role on equal parts an equal role with other players in this whole thing so when it comes to some predictions for the future for some forecasting there you have it . the divisions along party lines and fears that i think immigration are increasingly raising talk of a second civil war in the us at least according to the findings of a new opinion poll more than picks up the story pretty hard to believe sounds almost like click bait or internet sensationalism but it turns out that a number of americans actually do believe that civil war is a possibility furthermore the same poll indicated that roughly sixty percent of americans believe that back last it down from his policies could turn violent. the debate surrounding trump's immigration policies and the media fuming over it the gun control

course it's also been denying that it has anything to do with the poisoning of sixty six year old sergei scrawl and his daughter yulia back in march if you remember it was on march fourth when all of this started when the pair were found slumped on a park bench and souls very it was later said that they were poisoned with a nerve agent called nava chalk immediately fingers were pointed at russia the british government said that it's highly likely that it would only be russia who would have the means and the motives to carry out such a thing but russia of course said no we have nothing to do with that yet the two were held in hospital for a little while but both are now well and out of the hospital at this point they were released from their discharge from in may and april and so for an investigation continues. while the script balls are somewhere that is yet to be clarified with many questions about whether or not any actual official investigation results will eventually be released while it is still ongoing and russia this whole time has been waiting for evidence to be provided in terms

and his daughter so sergey lavrov was confronted in the interview without the journalist asking was russiao benefit from this together for all of retorts saying that in fact in his opinion the u.k. was the one to benefit from the poisoning. you accusing the british state of a cover up of this whole incident i don't exclude this and as long as they don't give us information you know that the boat then russian citizen citizens have died in london during the past two years although i do think all ten cases have been investigated in the secret form we don't understand what. and if you want to know the reason. well it's your goal one of the worries go is that who is the. sort of devoted in the business of the political good from what is going on. should it's come full circle it's an interesting situation whereby the country which is leaving the european union has determined the european union pulled a sort of rush when they were ready or through or you know look at all some of the europeans you do see you must explore the russians it once you must expel them so they did most of them some do now

like to highlight is we had president putin and a number of ministers from foreign affairs, like sergeyago. what you mentioned was not at all on the agenda. we have other topics to talk about because we would like to see cooperation, as a minister of foreign affairs, with russia, where there is a need to work together. it is about the middle east, it is about north africa. it is perhaps even about migration. a host of european nations joined britain in expelling diplomats, russian so—called diplomats, i would call them spies, after the poisoning of a former russian agent in the uk, sergey skripal, in the uk is sure it was russia. why did austria choose not to join others in expelling diplomats and sending a clear signal to moscow? we have ten countries in the eu but decided not to expel diplomats. and in my case, as minister of foreign affairs, i took the decision not to expel any diplomat for the simple reason that we are opposed to a series of international organisations. the building you can see behind me, every thursday, within the framework of the organisation, the security and co—

historic moment we still don't know whether the attempt from meeting is going to happen but at least sergei lavrov is here having direct talks with the supreme leader of north please please . and talking behind this wall we were asked to wait in this room so let's just have a walk around to take a look at what they have to offer a. dark north korean chocolate i can tell you that it tastes just like any other dark chocolate anywhere around the world. so this is how suddenly you get treated to cranberry juice at kim john lewis residence. i can barely remember being given such access at other v.o.i.p. locations around the world we were just told. the president which is just outside the doors. of the city to be. interviewed and given the fact that we're inside the residence of the north korean leader kim jong the moon again i'm just going to say i'm absolutely shocked. and. it is really disappointing that we won't be able to find out exactly what's being said behind these stories but just a few hours before mr kim and mr lavrov met the one foreign minister said making the korean peninsula free

i was able to realize that this is the actual villa and kim was waiting behind the wooden door as sergey lavrov arrived in a few moments and all kinds of interactions between the russian foreign minister and the north korean leader there of course precious to watch i just want to share one of the moments with you. it's a food soon in pyongyang isn't it. yes it's my third time and i must say for nyang is only getting better again nobody around us was speaking russian or english i don't speak korean so we couldn't really understand where these people were taking us but i guess the moment when i realized that this is definitely the palace the official residence of kim jong hoon is when i saw kim sr she was trying to sneak out through the doors and i even said hello to kim sr here's what that particular moment looked like hello. every tiny detail at that location was really precious to watch i was fascinated to see kim john thune sitting alone on one side of the table without any aides assist or. since he was only accompanied by the translator and it was if you like seven on one talks becaus

national security adviser, is having a sit down working lunch with sergei the russian foreign minister, a couple of hours from now in the capitol. they will discuss laying the groundwork -- what we've been told from both sides -- for a potential meeting between president trump and vladimir putin of russia. there's been lots of anticipation about that summit taking place. a time and location has not been set yet, but various venues have been suggested. he's going to be in europe, president trump, over the course of mid july. he's attending a nato summit in brussels. after that he will visit the united kingdom on a state visit. the speculation is that the meeting with president putin, the summit, will take place either side of that. whenever and wherever it happens, it's still going to be extremely controversial. the optics of it are going to be very controversial, as well. this is a figure, vladimir putin in russia, who stands isolated in much of the western world at least for his fueling of the conflicts in ukraine and in syria. his military is accused of shooting down a passenger airl

take place later this year and that was settled during talks between the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov and the north korean leader in pyongyang a prank or was there with the delegation and gained exclusive access to the residence of kim jong. we were told to leave most of our belongings and all our mobile devices he climbed and now they're taking us somewhere. so we're here in this fandom just to keep our men one photographer and myself rolling a lot of state in. this area is completely deserted and it looks like we're in circling something that appears to be the powers. that be if only someone told me where exactly we are right now but we are being told to fold us mad because . the group please. i don't really know what exactly this place this but it looks to be the area where it came john who will be greeting certainly loughborough of and the reason why i think so is because just through the store i saw him john and sister and she was having some sort of conversation with the guards but nobody speaks english here hello. lou hennessy far as i understand this is circular. we'll

he spoke about it when he met with sergei lavrov.g—un, party, that wants to be seen to be speaking to kimjong—un, extended an invitation for him to come to moscow later this year. it is clearly given the‘s some power in his position in discussions with the us, it means he has another option if things don‘t happen in singapore, thinking can go back to his more traditional friends and neighbour of course russia is already speaking regularly to china which is probably its most important partner. so the weight denuclearisation happens may not ultimately fit the american definition, it made have to be stage by stage, given how much weight he has behind him now from this additional ally. thank you indeed. here‘s our briefing on some of the key events happening later. in geneva, the international labour organization‘s main annual conference is continuing. colombia‘s president and nobel peace prize winner juan manuel santos is due to address delegates. and in france, the country‘s far—right national front will be meeting later on. its leader

is the victim of the toxic atmosphere between the and russia over the sergei skripal incident —— he's the russian president, and he's a of that association. when you've got the kind of money we just described, the kind of money we just described, the personal fortune of billions, he's probably used to being able to do anything and everything he wants to do. being in this situation must have been unusual and probably infuriating for him? absolutely. when he bought the club in the first place, we asked a western businessman based in moscow what motivated him and he said it was the cheapest insurance policy in history —— western. immediately he became a household name in this country and if the kremlin moved against him it would create headlines around the world and he would be given asylum and everything would be hunky—dory. but by doing that, by keeping his close association with putin, now the threat has come from the other side, not moscow, but london. we hear he has put plans for a new sta mford we hear he has put plans for a new stamford bridge home for chelsea on hold maybe becaus

we just left the airport and we're trying to catch up with sergey lavrov level but we seem to be a bit far behind or on the way to the capital yet. this is a truly incredible relief force to film inside the place where most i pulled calming things and north korea happened just as the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is talking to his north korean counterpart behind closed doors right there. at the moment when the russian top diplomat is n.p.r. and yangs is absolutely unique on the one hand the resolution of the korean peninsula places might be just a few steps away with a massive concessions the north and the south have both been making and even donald trump to however we understand that a new law moves can make everything collapse. so the question is why exactly are these drugs and it out in the capital russian diplomats he suggests that it was several indications in a row by mr taleb during his visit to moscow. we were also told that the north koreans wanted. a sound during a traditional way to chat with the journalists on the plane when we asked. why this was happening and wha

aggressive activity from north korea last year so on thursday we saw the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov in pyongyang the north korean capital meeting with kim jong un and that they discussed a wide range of issues of course the denuclearization of the korean peninsula which they both agreed should be the aim and there was also an invitation from sergei lavrov for kim jong un to travel to moscow to hold a summit with the russian president vladimir putin according to the north korean official news agency kim jong un accepted the invitation and there is some hope that that summit will take place in russia this year which would mark the seventieth anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries where many thanks indeed let's get the thoughts now of evan resnick who's a u.s. foreign policy expert. roger up in the school of international studies at nanyang technical technological university joins us now live from singapore. scope evan another day of meetings there are statements are we getting any closer do you think it's a confirmation that this june twelfth summit will
