he went to singapore under the south korean president, and he went to hanoi, pressured by south korean president -- but fortunately, one party has been kicked out of hanoi. now, it looks like he is going back with a kinder approach. i am sure that the south korean people are preferring that he is coming again, to get together with kim jong, so good you tried to convince me that trump is not propping up the north korean dictator? >> the president has not given anything to north korea. they have been given a bilateral meeting with the president. but there is not going to be a deal until korean -- north korea agrees to negotiate in earnest. it is a concern of this administration that president moon wants to move too fast. i think the north by in vietnam that -- i think the north bought in vietnam that they could convince us to relinquish sanctions. we have seen this over and over again with north korea. we give them concessions and they either give us nothing of whatever they agree to, they backtrack. ambassador bolton and secretary pompeo are aware of that. north korea has the opportunit

this behind me is the road to kaesong in north korea and to a large south korean run industrial zone,north korean workers. the years ago in the face of north korean missile test, it was com pletely korean missile test, it was completely shut down. hopes were high that the hanoi summit could lead to kaesong reopening, now those hopes have been dashed. ata at a factory outside seoul, this man is explaining how these machines made goldplated terminals that go inside mobile phones, until three yea rs inside mobile phones, until three years ago, he also ran another much biggerfactory across years ago, he also ran another much bigger factory across the border in case. we are devastated, he tells me. we thought was going to work out. i do not know what i am supposed to do now. i do not know exactly how much we have lost, but oui’ exactly how much we have lost, but our investment in kaesong comes to around $30 million. in seoul, the atmosphere is certainly very different from the warm april day last year when kim jong—un stepped into the south and shook hands with resident moonjae—in. into th

"trump, moon, and the whole world is being deceived by kim jong-un," he says. "the south korean government kim is not goin tobu give up nuclear weapons it went to the united states and said kim is ready to give up nuclear weapons. prident trump accepted that and believed it until today." they may not be said that the latest trump-kim summit has co to nothing, but many others feel massively disappointed. this

actually as a south korean actually we. definitely expect the especially the trump of the miss trade. to more reliable and trust full steps at the village actually we can you can do that and he must do that. so now. the whole game seems to cause and to do trump side however also north korean government chairman team would definitely do its best to make more progress in the near future so you think he was expecting too much do you think he really thought trump was going to say ok we're going to lift the sanctions i mean no no no actually. i don't i don't i don't. understand he intends to however and in korea we expected at least you know there is some partial reduction it definitely the easement of the conversations if this is the first step at least you know north korea forced the showed their willingness to to the process of democratization last year and also. actually. reversible as they are they all it made. or if they want to focus on economic development much more than the military. power to build a months old so this

the increase of south korean involvement. what is your assessment of that situation, and how would you go about it moving forward? >> i would like to see -- >> [indiscernible] in your opinion? >> the first question, i would like to see all players stick together. i want to see china, south korea, and japan not move forward with any type of agreements or lessening trade sanctions on north korea until there is a deal. they are going to remove or reduce the leverage we have to get a good deal. i think kim saw how determined the president is. he will not agree to a partial deal or drop sanctions for very little in return from the north. he is looking for a comprehensive deal. that was a good signal being sent in vietnam. it is very hard for diplomats to walk away. there were preparations for celebrations of a big agreement. they love the signing ceremonies. there is a big picture taken of everybody who negotiated. state people love that. to walk away and to not do that is hard. people were disappointed. all the preparations have

media from a south korean intelligence briefing do you expect that the intricacy in talks between north and south korea will these images have any effect on whether those talks which are planned will still go ahead. i think that's a good question so the satellite imagery analysis done by thirty eight north and c.s.i.s. support the south korean intelligence briefing that was reported on yesterday and both of those say obviously that this construction has gone ahead and would apparently show that north korea is deliberately at least maintaining these sites if not planning any imminent launch and i think the fact that the noise summit ended without an agreement perhaps west for the into korean economic cooperation south korea in particular was looking for exemptions from u.n. sanctions in order to make progress on connecting the two countries railway systems for example and those will be more difficult to progress now without an agreement on the u.s. nor north korea from the seven says they're eager to get your expertise on this we really appreciate your time this alison evans live in lond

celebrated in both north and south korea this event is a source of pride for all koreans marking the anniversary of when people rose up against the power that at the time was in control of the korean peninsula japan the one hundredth anniversary was always going to be especially significant even more so coming the day after what was meant to be the successful hanoi summit between trump and kim further advancing the improvement in into korean relations well obviously that narrative has now changed leaving south koreans including of course their president moon j.n. to put the best spin on this as possible insisting that the reconciliation process is still alive and well as he departed viet-nam president trump spoke on the phone from air force one with president moon welcoming his offer to act as intermediary between the u.s. and north korea to try to get things back on track it's a role of course the mood is familiar with having interceded a couple of times last year when the whole process seemed to have been stalled it remains to be seen if he can do it again. so head on al-jazeera ta

but the south korean government holds on to the ban on abortion. today their mission as children at all costs. they also have warmer it koku are what was the government after back then when they allowed abortions. did they want to support women's rights. but today we can see that it wasn't about that. it was about population control they were using women's bodies as a political tool that was the solution that. the south korean government has even gone so far as to publish a map of seoul on the internet showing where women of childbearing age live. the darker the pink color the greater the selection for men seeking a wife. the chinese government has also noticed that a society without women will die out in the long run. a two child policy has been introduced in the hope of regaining a gender balance and solving the problem of an ageing population. the government has again resorting to advertisements on building for science this time it is for daughters and therefore potential future mothers. no girls means no daughters in law. the government in indi

later put in writing in what became known as the pyongyang declaration between north koreans and south koreans last september when north korea did commit itself to dismantling this facility and and the monitoring of international law letters so new is the actual work has been done on restoring part of this complex has taken people by surprise to say the least it's difficult to know how much exactly to read into this though the yes there has been this restoration work but it doesn't necessarily mean that we are anywhere near the resumption of testing i think that is still too far too much of a stretch and rob how is all of this being interpreted in the context of the failed summit and hanoi could this be part of a negotiation tactic. i mean one of the questions people here are asking is just when this work was carried out it may well have been carried out in fact before the summit in hanoi so this is not necessarily a negative reaction to failed diplomacy and it's got to be remembered of course that there have been other reports of north korea continuing to work on its nuclear facilities on its

victor: by far the biggest losers out of how annoyed where the south koreans -- of hanoi were the south koreans, because they are the ones at that will have to pick up the diplomatic pieces. there is clearly a gap between the u.s. and north korea on what is a potential deal, sanctions for denuclearization. and the ball is effectively in north korea's court, but anybody who has negotiated with north korea knows, that means that ball is not going anywhere. [laughter] victor: basically. and the south koreans, i think him a diplomatic halfway point. market: i do not think -- margaret: i do not think the chinese would minded the american troops leaving anytime soon. the president said it was something he never thought about, but in the future he would like to bring the troops home and it is quite costly, but we are not talking about it now, leading into the idea that it is not so crazy to float the concept. for think china was hoping a different conclusion on that issue of a peace arrangement. i thought it was interesting we had in vietnam. i know there was talk about it as a setting like, l

i think it's certainly going to be welcomed by the south korean government of president moon jay in who as we know is offered once more to actors mediator between the u.s. and north korea to try to get things back on track and is really looking for help from any quarter right now especially given the disappointment of the failure of the hanoi summit it will also help his personal efforts to try to improve into korean relations that he's been working on alongside trying to reestablish good relations between the u.s. and north korea and in particular just as a he's trying to resume economic and tourism projects with north korea is the next step in improving relations the relationship it was hoped that with a breakthrough in hanoi they were would be able to pen an agreement on those projects and that would form the basis hopefully of a visit a long anticipated and historic visit by kim jong un to south korea but without that it does seem to casting doubt that visit might have to be delayed maybe beyond the next couple of months when it was hoped it would take place or maybe not take place

guess half an hour and moon i guess will be coming here for a meeting with president trump so the south koreans are going to get back involved and i think they're very useful as a as a as a go between so i think this is not a permanent failure i think it's a temporary setback and i think we'll get going again i absolutely agree with you and michael and maybe you can learn from this failure here is not not going as john put it for such a large package because. like i said to me having this what these weapon systems and launchers is the only thing that can. bring in the united states i mean i'm sure north korea is basking in the in the sun right now that's what they want they want legitimacy they want to be treated with respect they want they want to be treated as some kind of equal here in part of the nuclear club here but on a different tone here do you think people like. john bolton are particularly disappointed with the outcome. well i know i don't think they were disappointed at all i think that while no number of things first of all it became increasingly apparent that the trumpet was going

president has been very close to kim jong il and so i think it's no coincidence that the south koreans are cooperating with kim to put pressure on president charles well and put pressure on donald trump if this is in response to the failed summit and hanoi is that a provocative step by north korea and how is the u.s. likely to on the spot and. well it certainly is a provocative step i mean there is some pressure that is being put on the president by this but i don't think it's really that much and how the administration responds is really anyone's guess at this particular time you know president trump is very willful he does believe of course in diplomacy with north korea but at some point he's got to walk away because the north koreans have not exhibited a real intention to disarm but if the north koreans don't know how the u.s. is likely to respond to this if no one knows then is this a gamble that north korea is taking here but it's a very big gamble because the united states can actually put a lot of pressure on north korea which the u.s. did prior to june of last year really cutti

that's very interesting mike you want to jump in there but we have to remember that not all of south koreans like having the american military there we have to remember what they want and don't like because and under conditions of a complex under the conditions of a conflict the united states actually takes control of south korea's defenses and intelligence so there's a sovereignty issue here as well michael you want to jump in go ahead yeah this gets to the very definition of what denuclearization rightly meant to both sides as they were going into this discussion for the for the north koreans denuclearization as we beat as we came to understand it was the removal of all u.s. troops as well as all. i know the terror i hate it says it right that i hate to interrupt mike i think i totally disagree with that there's no evidence for it. keep going michael. ok well well i feel that i feel that this this was why we have an issue over the definition of the nuclearization and it became an issue where where we talk about for total elimination of weapons their definition of denuclearization was to re

the south korean president, moonjae—in, has insisted that meaningful progress was made at the summit, failure to reach a deal. mr moon said the summit had given the two leaders enhanced mutual understanding and trust. mr moon has worked to encourage the relationship between washington and pyongyang. our south—east asia correspondent jonathan head is in hanoi. he told me why he thought the summit failed to reach the desired conclusion on denuclearisation or a lifting of sanctions. the problem is that there's always an element of unpredictability. we knew there was a gap between the two sides, in terms of the areas they could have agreed, and clearly the american side hoped that when they arrived at this summit that perhaps the personal chemistry between mr trump and mr kim, or perhaps the fact that mr kim might even have something extra to give in his back pocket might close that gap. it didn't. now, we have these slightly conflicting accounts. it's worth noting mr trump is wrong. apparently the north koreans weren't asking for all sanctions, but even the sanctions they wanted were ver

interests and we're interrupting possibilities of south korean trade with north korea and the greater the regime and this is exactly what it is that he's driving it it is this fear that this moment is slipping out of the u.s. hands and so you double down you put more and more pressure you use all the leaders that you have sanctions dollar whatever you put pressure on your own our allies to try to keep them in line and what you're actually hearing is you're antagonizing you know it's earlier say with alexander mackerras here i think it's with us it's so telling that italy as a member of the g. seven is willing to start getting involved in the in china silk road i think that's of a huge story the italians have been openly rebuked in a in a rather rude way i would say and they're going to continue their path to be we're working with the chinese i mean they can. it's basically the way the trump administration is treating europe is it gives them even more initiative to say no go ahead alex. and of course what people said because people can read the data they can see the they can read the r

it's one that north korean leader kim jong-un had spoken to the south korean president moon jae-in about, as being part of the declaration, saying they were pulling it apart, also talking about they would have independent inspectors to go and look at it and check it was out of action. now, of course, over recent days, potentially weeks, you see the satellite images showing that there is a door being put back. there's a roof being put back. and the intelligence agency here, in south korea also saying that they are seeing indications that they are real assembling what they have already taken apart. now, the key here is the timing. when exactly was this happening 38 north, the think tank, says it's anytime between february 16th and march 2nd. so it could be before, during or after the summit between kim jong-un and the u.s. president. because that's not clear at this point, many experts are reticent to say definitively that this is a sign from the north koreans to say that they are not happy that hanoi summit ended without any kind of agreement. what we have to wait for now is if there will
