five thirty is russia has developed a very cool to all relationship with south korea and that is good for pace on the korean peninsula that is good for peace in the general region however the problem is that like turkey south korea is a strategic ally of the americans and that is not going to change and that is why the south koreans to the discuss of the russians a few years ago agreed to host an american missile system so that is why despite having good relations we have so it is absolutely imperative so russia's who will dispatch it which is being created in north korea because china is starts in to distance itself and its last can do that then it will help to secure its security in the far east because the american presence is growing considerably there ok demon go ahead come in we've talked about well i agree with marcus i think that basically there's a big change behind all these which is a challenge for russia for china for north korea and for a lot of countries in the region because what was the idea behind mr trump exiting the i.n.f. treaty they into media and the medium range missile treaty it was primarily

and the reason why south korea is driven towards russia is because. mike benz can afford a war on the korean peninsula south korea cannot join and cannot go back to you i mean there moaning we were hearing for from the administration the possibility of another summit i mean after the train wreck called hanoi what's the point and what would be different because the u.s. seems to have this need jerk reaction to anything it's always a to. a map from a list position i surrender and then we can talk all there's no way in the world north korea is ever going to do that and which said that's on this program for years go ahead marcus in london let me quickly just say something relations between north korea and china actually deteriorates it's in the one nine hundred sixty s. but return in-city presidents do you know paid i actually don't believe that the last meeting between trump and kim jong un was actually a failure because the fact is that an american presence and a north korean leader are actually sitting at the same table very fair in fairness it's that that is something better yes that is something to r

south korea of course is much more important economically than the north korea. russia has great. interest economically in what happens in on the korean peninsula because if there is peace if. they can have you know gas pipelines going through the korean peninsula into south korea. sending gas and what have you on the japan huge benefits both koreas for russia for japan. so there is that in the background as well so these is you know is easy the motivations are there they're very russia's very keen on not merely on on please but on progress towards. all this lessing of tension and the reaping of the economic benefits that could accrue from that but the problem is of course as so often is united states doesn't have these motivations past and i think really nice until he we're going to have to leave it there. specialist thing thank you. much more expected to come from this summit between bennett. and we will keep you updated with the very latest from stock and. a leading human rights groups have been scathing of the saudi arabia's execution this week of thirty seven men on terror related charges amnesty international and human rights watch both s

south korea is marking the anniversary of a landmark summit between president j. in and the north korean leader kim jong il the two leaders met one year ago in the demilitarized zone dividing the peninsula and signed a peace declaration today half a million south koreans gathered along the border to push for peace and eventually a unified korea representatives from the north did not attempt. the demilitarized zone often described as the most fortified border in the world turn peaceful by the south korean people fire front of thousand people from all over the country have come to the mind strip of land that separates north and south korea i'm here to to add my heart and my aspiration for you to korea because with the longest time for seventy years it was one with no active for five thousand years was one race one language when one people. oh with artistic performances in singing they are expressing their wish for peace in the venture reunification. spending the entire five hundred kilometers between the west and east coast people formed a human chain cheering for peace and unification one year ago south korean president met for the first time with north korean head of state can join in a

the middle, south korean president moon jae-in who is set to meet with president trump later this afternoon. behind the scenes, what we're hearing from analysts observing the korean peninsula talks is we could have a situation where the south koreans will say trying to get economic activity restarted between north and south korea while also trying to press for the u.s. to continue to play a more aggressive approach. let's go from korea to the border with mexico. at the same time, who is minding the store? it seems like anyone in the line of command has left. kevin: kevin mcclain in -- kevin maddalena and is the acting director -- kevin mc caleenan is the acting director. there is a risk between not just the steven miller's of the world -- and also with the business community, which is increasingly playing a more aggressive approach as a lobbying effort on the immigration front, especially for the manufacturing perspective. part oft trump, a key the political coalition are manufacturers. they are uneasy to have unrest, especially as a relates to commodities on the u.s. mexico border and they have the president's ear. kevin cirilli, thank you from a beautiful spring day. kev

south korean. they are working very closely also to try to lower possibilities on the korean peninsula and to create an opening for the full vision the president trump laid out in singapore to come to fruition. i have traveled recently to north korea to a demilitarized zone. they had measures negotiated between chairman kim and president moon jae-in of south greeley last year in consultation with the united nations command and the u.s. forces in korea. they have done or taken a number of steps around the demilitarized zone in order to lower tensions . the elimination of all weapons, has been implemented and the joint security area around the village . it is a remarkable thing. for those of you in korea or have the opportunity to visit dmz i would strongly recommend. some of the details are being worked out in the final arrangements in the dmz, i have heard more recently that it is not so easy to travel there until all remaining issues are implement it around this set of agreements but i was able to visit and i tell you just the difference from anything i have seen since i first visited in 1988. over

weapons poised on a very narrow buffer on the korean peninsula to a more calm and orderly and engagement. regular communications between the north and south and command in the dmz. these are not inconsequential changes that have taken place on the korean peninsula. as we focus on the urgency of this particular issue or that, or the crisis or potential crisis de jure, i think we also need to step back and realize over the past eight months president trump's diplomacy with north korea and south korea's diplomacy with north korea have created space for many constructive things to happen. while we're a long way away from where we need to be, as i said at the beginning of my remarks, we're not nearly as far along on denuclearization as i would have hoped we are. we're making progress. we're engaged diplomatically. the president was emphatic out of the hanoi summit. conversations with constructive. they ended without an agreement but they didn't end badly. i don't want to lose sight of the positives in this environment as we focus on particular issues or controversy s or semantics of the moment. >> that's a lovely wrap-up. and if i was a nicer
