however sergey lavrov has warned that the peace process remains fragile. the research regarding sanctions is completely obvious that when we start talking about the nuclear issue and other issues on the korean peninsula it's with the understanding that nothing can happen with sanctions still in place how that's going to be achieved is another question a matter of the art of the goshi ocean but it can't be done in one go just like denuclearization can't that is why there have to be stages in progress at each stage. didn't arrive in north korea empty handed he did have a small present for kim a russian keepsake box. for the month of it also has a key you can look away some secret stuff on the top diplomats also invited came here to russia and passed on a message from vladimir putin in response the north korean leader send all greetings to the president our correspondent in a bit frank here has been following the meeting in pyongyang and got exclusive images taken from inside north korea. you know these are our first. democratic people's republic of korea. so

sergei lavrov meeting with kim jong-un in pyongyang is a clear indication that russia is wading into the middle of what president trump may view as u.s. business. laying downey d ideas that russ believes is important to get a denuclearization agreement. he says it is very clear that to do this in a come prope-hence sh way, you -- comprehensive way, you lift yourself into sanctions. president trump and kim jong-un may agree and should go to the united nations security council. this is odd language from russia which typically avoids the united nations. it does seem to be a clear effort by russia to internation internationalize what is supposed to be a one-on-one between kim jong-un and president trump. you had president xi with two meetings with kim jong-un. president trump was upset about that. he said china was destabilizing the balance of the process coming up to the summit in singapore. certainly secretary mike pompeo will be having another round of talks today with north korea's top negotiator kim yong chol. the pair of them are expected to bridge the gap in understanding what nor

we understand that any wrong move can make everything collapse so the question is why exactly sergei lavrov and it up in the north korean capital russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was after several invitations in a row by mr lavrov apart during his visit to moscow we were also told that the north korean side wanted the trip to happen asap during a traditional quick chat with the journalists on the plane when we asked. why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was well just have to see i don't know for now believe to try and go from the monsoon to power the home of the north korean parliament in pyongyang. most worldwide have rallied at all the ukraine you know authorities for faking the assassination of a russian opposition journalist in kiev international media and security watchdogs have slammed the stand as deplorable and regrettable. the staged murder of journalists. by the ukrainian security service is distressing well the reappearance of the reporter may be a great relief it is deeply regrettable the koreans authorities who played with the truth no mat

a symbol for how much is at stake in biliteral relations massa's host and brushing counterpart sergey lavrov says just saying that direct talks are better than what he calls microphone diplomacy during his first streaks in office mass had urged a strong stance when it comes to russia despite the differences now there are many coming issues to discuss both ministers criticized the military escalation in the middle east. these attacks are provocations which we condemn for time as we have underlined many times before he still has the right to self-defense. lever of to just both iran and israel to refrain from further provoke asians regarding the nuclear deal with iran massive level of stress than tension to preserve what is left of the agreement after the rethrow by the us meanwhile other issues such as the crisis in ukraine are not moving forward. i believe that an open and honest dialogue is key for solid partnership we have to be able to figure out if we are still playing by the same rules. talks instead of bigger illusions germany's new foreign minister struck a new path in german russian r

the announcement followed a visit to north korea by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov.sk our state department correspondent, barbara plett usher, how the us will react to this announcement. i think probably with wariness, it brings another major power into the picture, the foreign minister of russia sergei lavrov has been in pyongyang meeting with north koreans, he offered for kim jong—un to visit moscow, and apparently he has accepted. it isn't clear where he would go. —— when he would go, for the summit‘s success he would probably go afterwards. but the north korean state news inch —— news agency quoted mr kim as wanting to resolve these issues on a stage by stage basis, something the americans don't want. they want rapid and concrete disarmament that the russians, and sergei lavrov, he has offered support for this phased approach the north koreans want to take. it shows that any negotiations would still be quite difficult, even if this summit with donald trump goes ahead. we are hopeful and expectant as to what would be in the letter that the north korean delegation

so as i was saying talks between sergey lavrov enjoy the read are beginning and a minute and hopefully we'll hear something from them because this is something very important right now and following the talks with. following the talks with the chinese and with the russian top diplomat really we want to hear something important from the foreign minister of iran. absolutely thanks for that update that . i will speak to you later. greece might soon be able to exit a bruising bailout program that was put in place by the international monetary fund and the eurozone that's according to one of the blocs finance ministers but the day beacon on the crisis on the austerity measures the country has suffered has been blamed for the rise of the far right groups their golden dawn described as fascist and neo nazi in the media has gained wide support was a special report by the red fish media group looks at it spike in popularity. terry is one of the latest victims of golden dawn the far right group that has surged in recent years while unleashing a wave of violence she was attacked by several member

russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov has extended an invitation to north korean leader kim jong un to visit russia the announcement came as lover of made a trip to pyongyang where he met kim bosco said the aim of love rob's visit was to discuss bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues the trip comes less than two weeks before a planned historic summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un trying and briefly cancel the summit last week. lover warned against sudden changes in diplomatic contacts with north korea while in the country have a listen to what he said. we view it as important to treat these contacts extremely sensitive way not to try to make abrupt movements to artificially adjust the process which requires considerable time and details coordination of all components of the package. it will make it possible not only to denuclearize the entire korean peninsula but also to ensure sustainable peace and stability throughout northeast asia. that was the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov a foreign correspondent josh

russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has been invited or rather has invited north korean leader kim jong un to visit russia the announcement comes as lavrov is on a trip to pyongyang where he met with kim moscow says that the purpose of visit is to discuss bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues it is the russian foreign minister's first visit to north korea in almost a decade the trip comes less than two weeks before a planned historic summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un trump had briefly canceled the summit last week. let's go now to correspondent jason strother who has been following the story for us from seoul welcome to you jason why is moscow pushing for this summit to take place. right well we saw a lot of mir putin urged the united states to keep on moving with this summit after president trump originally called it off last week but the fact of the matter is russia has waning influence here in northeast asia it's been more or less sidelined it's not it's not a central player in the korean peninsula standoff

foreign minister sergei lavrov invited kim to add to his busy summit schedule and visit moscow but it was lavrov apparent 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 think north korea wants to strachan this process of democratization f

now the top diplomats of russia and north korea and you to meet in pyongyang foreign minister sergey lavrov arrived a few hours ago here when we see north korea's foreign minister young home in slab rob his first trip to the country since two thousand and nine and comes weeks before a planned summit between the u.s. and north korea although it's still unclear whether the talks between donald trump and kim jong un will go ahead the summit was recently thrown into after military drills between the u.s. and south korea and mixed signals from the white house. and to discuss this further we can now cross live to former u.s. diplomat james actress jim thank you very much indeed for joining us to talk about this north korea again they right before the russian foreign minister gave a brief statement ahead of this summit that let's just take a listen to what sergey lavrov had to say we but your blue sky day she says we support the developments relations between the two koreas embassy in pyongyang and washington we hope the negotiations that have been announced will not turn into an ultimatum the tas

is a further dimension to this flurry of diplomatic activity the russians now getting involved sergei lavrov is in pyongyang and already elizabeth held talks with his north korean counterpart emerging to make a statement that there can be no full resolution of the north korean nuclear problem without there being a relaxation of sanctions the russians point being that denuclearization is such a complex and lengthy process that really for it to work out and for the north koreans to go along with it they have to see and have to see early some relief economic relief from these sanctions so this does seem as though the russians are very much supporting the kind of position the north koreans are taking the americans will not be very pleased by this but i think it is what they can would have expected the russians to say it seems as though the russians are in a similar position to china or in some ways they both want to have a part in this international process given their standing its specially in this part of the world they believe they should have a say and should not be sidelined with this and h

we understand that any wrong move can make everything collapse so the question is why exactly sergei lavrov and it up in the north korean capital russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was after several invitations in a row by mr lavrov apart during his visit to moscow we were also told that the north korean side wanted the trip to happen asap during a traditional quick chat with the journalists on the plane when we asked. why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was we'll just have to see i don't know for now believe to try and go from the monsoon to power the home of the north korean parliament in pyongyang. live now to dr tim bill who is a researcher and specialist in asia based in new zealand good to see you tim six pm where you are now a very good evening to you we're seeing a donald trump in recent days somewhat flip flopping over the north korea summit now we're seeing russia's foreign minister visiting pyongyang what why do you think it's sort of a love of is there right now. well of course hughes is answering the invitation from. north korea. russia has

we also have sergey lavrov heading over to the region, haven't we?ed to remember that while everyone is focused on the relationship between north korea and the us, north korea normally does its business with china and with russia, its neighbours. if it is not surprising that sergey lavrov would want to come in and see what north korea's thinking is. we understand that he was due to land today. we don't know much about his presence, who exactly will be talking to, whether he will speak to kim jong—un directly, however it is something that russia will want a close candelon, because well beyond singapore, if that happens, russia's relationship will go on. it is difficult to get information out of north korea. do we know if any of these talks are being reported there? take a look at today's daily newspaper, the front page is dominated with news of a breach being completed for a rally on the eastern coast in north korea. it isa on the eastern coast in north korea. it is a vote is —— photo special for the first two pages. go through all six pages, no menti

so the question is why exactly sergey lavrov and it up in the north korean capital russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was after several indications in a row by mr elaborate off cattle part during his visit to moscow. we were also told that the north korean side the one to the trip to happen asap during a traditional way to chat. with the drug lords on the playing when we asked. why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was well just have to see i don't know for an hour political analyst says chang believes that the step by step approach to negotiation suggested by moscow is the only reasonable way to settle the crisis the negotiations process has to proceed in a reasonable rational manner in view of the demand on the part of the united states that did nuclearization process has to be complete very fireball and first of all is obviously a symmetry in the american demands and the. demands of from young so the russian foreign minister is that by using a kind of step by step or stage by stage a kind of negotiation process which is obviously rational since i

developments with north korea and the expected summit with the united states foreign minister sergey lavrov is n.p.r. . he told them that russia wants peace and progress on the korean peninsula while also inviting him to moscow at the request of president putin. 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 that will go ahead will be a question of the skill of the negotiators but it cannot be done in one sitting one cannot provide denuclearization in one sitting so of course there must be several stages and in every stage there must be a two way road valma bride has the latest from seoul. so a lover of becoming the most senior russian official to meet with kim jong un since he came to power delivering the invitation to visit moscow to add to what is already a very busy summit itinerary for kim and also it came after lavrov is meeting with the north korean foreign minister after which he made his statement very much supporting north korea's posi

although sergey lavrov has warned the peace process remains fragile. it was regarding sanctions it's completely obvious that when we start talking about the nuclear issue and other issues on the korean peninsula it's with the understanding that nothing can happen with sanctions still in place how that's going to be achieved is another question a matter of the art of the goshi ocean but it can't be done in one go just like denuclearization can't that is why there have to be stages in progress at each stage or mr lavrov added that russia is interested in working with both careers and that the north should consider all factors in the peace talks including recent history our correspondent is in p.r. yang right now with some exclusive images from inside north korea. this is a truly incredible opportunity for us to film inside the place where most high profile meetings in north korea happen just as the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is talking to his north korean counterpart behind closed doors right there the moment when the russian top diplomat is

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 thi
