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

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

the twelfth you mention what is happening this week because kim jong russian foreign minister sergey lavrov met saying don't trump said i didn't like it about how and why he's about to think what what's what prompted that response. well a lot of it relates to some old cold war rhetoric that's been driving this machine in korea for far far too long and this type of well we don't like that they talk to talk to the russians seems to me to be jest the old john bolton and neo cons who seem to be surrounding drums more and more stepping up to try to create a do this is this even what's going on there i mean the leverage off meetings a very positive meeting having exchanges having dialogue is so important but and yes it's very all right much of and what do you do you think there is perhaps even more to it eric because trump and once the decision to hold the meeting on june the twelfth the summit right after talks were nice between kim jong un vladimir putin to be held later this year is there anything in that do you think. you know i've sent for a while now that you know if you give this president

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 because on th

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 each. f

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

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

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 actually happen. all indications seem to be that this summit is back on track i can't speak to the past the the likelihood of there being real substantial. truths to come out of this summit but it looks like at least there will be some sort of meeting held here in

this is sergei lavrov meeting him.the mysterious little box that he has been handed as a gift to lock secret things inside. you cannot help but feel both governments are being a bit mischievous with this. it looks like a regular sort of gift that is given out in situations like this and leaving it out there that could be something special or secretive inside i think is... cheeky. what was the phrase? provocative optics used in the past. kind of illusions of some of the sort of dirty tricks that the russians have been up to in but russia, through the soviet era, for a long time with a sponsor of the previous north korean government run by his father and grandfather, disappeared from the scene largely publicly in the last five years and have come back as china has, world politics you can see is going on and north korea is at the harbour of it. it plays beautifully interchurch or‘s group that russell is a puzzle inside an enigma wrapped in a riddle and st vincent and north korea. right, brexit is one of those words we try

. >>> potential trump-putin summit will be discussed when john bolton sits down with sergei lavrov today. matthew chance live in moscow. good morning, matthew. >> reporter: good morning, that's right. john bolton, u.s. 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.

john bolton will be meeting with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov.t's according to russian state media. a national security spokes pe person said both will in moscow for high level meetings and discussing a better relationship with russia and the potential for a u.s.-russian meeting. button will be the first one to go to russian since rex tillerson went in may of last year. bolton and the u.s. and russia would need to decide logistics for any type of meeting the president would have with the russian president. president trump will be in europe next month for the nato summit. so it's expected if there's something agreed to, it could be around there. russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov said we're open to a dialogue with the u.s. on all issues. undoubtedly normalizing bilateral relations would go a long way of promoting effective and closer interaction in the international arena. secretary of state mike pompeo says he wants to build a better relationship with the russian government. he worked with the russian government on counter terrorism issues,

including the russian president vladimir putin he also had a meeting with the russian foreign minister sergey 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 th
