optimistic about these talks making a bit more headway than the previous negotiations between trump kim jong il in hanoi and singapore you think something positive can come out of them. we don't know yet it all and the united they are very much you know caught up in the problem that i was being. in and. in korea. from then on. they could go. back apparently trying to exert pressure on the hard way now. like. a board from the kremlin to make sure that you. know what we try one third of. the laws so apologies once again sorry sorry can't believe we've got more live pics. of the tributes i'm just going to be going to make it where you state but let's go live now to that statement for about two thirds of discussing the possibility of this meeting. is. first of all congratulations to being elected to a high position of the. the. democratic people's republic of korea. but take this opportunity to congratulate you in person. which. i'd like to say that last year. we are fifty years since our country and i don't know established diplomatic world for. so go to you know you know why it's. pretty not to b

president donald trump says he's open to a third summit with north korean leader kim jong il trump says another would be a good idea now that the two sides fully understand each other he was responding to kim's offer of more talks by the year's end the two left february's summit in vietnam without an agreement on the nuclear disarmament of north korea. and u.s. president donald trump has also been accused of islamophobia after tweeting a video about congresswoman. the footage showed an exception of a speech that made about nine eleven but senior politicians and rights groups have noted that the comment was clearly out of context well those are the headlines next stop up front do stay with us. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call home al-jazeera will bring in the news and current affairs that matter to you. al-jazeera. one of from today we'll debate the nearly fifty year old u.s. war on drugs was it all of big trillion dollar failure but first donald trump on the taliban are saying it's time for foreign troops to go

we could see already that those talks weren't going to go well because trump was trying very very hard almost to nurture kim jong il and through this process you saw it from him you saw it from his aides and kim jong un at the time was a little bit more in control do you notice or do you think that the body language you saw at the summit was very natural or was it obviously something that the leaders thought about beforehand. and it's quite hard to hear you're not getting the line but the body language to. go ahead i'm sorry can you repeat that question. yes or no the body language at the beginning was a little bit more relaxed. but afterwards i i got the since there that that that it didn't go that easily for kim jong un and perhaps he didn't get out of this quite what he was hoping ok my final question howard i hope you can hear me now i don't know if you saw the departure of kim jong but what did you make of the body language when they were saying that farewells. so i didn't i only saw a slip out of it i didn't get a chance to see the whole thing but that is definitely i think there was a sense of relief that th

couple of months ago and also last year these were two historic summits between kim jong il and the american president donald trump however as we know these meetings didn't lead to any agreements and now there you have it came john who is in russia meeting vladimir putin as i've said earlier the supreme leader of north korea arrived in this city. vladivostok yesterday and i guess it is fair to say that his welcome was much more than just warm have a look. like . so again we're literally minutes if not seconds away from the her wrist sorry first hand shake which is happening at a university near vladivostok that's russia's main university and the far east i can see loads of students they're not allowed to be standing where i'm standing right now but they're very close to me and they are really excited to understand that this is happening where they're studying but this isn't just exciting for them it's exciting for the whole world and of course it is more than just special the first ever face to face meeting between the russian president and the supreme leader of north korea the first ever kim summit in lot of aust

the conflict that he hasn't been playing a role in for quite a long time for kim jong il and it's a moment to show to donald trump that he has other friends that he has other world leaders he can talk to so that could put some pressure on the united states to open these negotiations again and step what will kim be looking for from these other friends these other allies that he does have. well kim jong un desperately wants to lower and lift the sanctions if possible and that's why he hopes that flooding the putin can help him with this and that's again going to be very difficult because putin's hands are tied as a member of the security council but what putin could do is put out a plea to the rest of the world to the united states to help north korea to lift sanctions in return for something that should of course be significant progress on the need denuclearization and there of course put in doesn't have enough influence on north korea a lot of experts expect that that. won't work but at least he's on the table it's a it's a role that he can play and in the future of course he's also thinking about opening the six

south korean leader here in the oval office donald trump for his part is not ruling out a possible third summit with the north korean leader kim jong il and it is the challenge now for the south korean leader to try and bring the two sides together because as you pointed out the talks have stalled after that failed summit hanoi something that donald trump denies in fact he said there's an awful lot of optimism he defended the slow pace saying this is a step by step process still he rejected any suggestion that he should lift sanctions to restart talks we want sanctions to remain in place and frankly i have the option of significantly increasing their mothers want to do that because of my relationship with kim jong un i did not want to do that i didn't think it was necessary as you know a couple of weeks ago i held it back but i think that sanctions or break down at a level that's a fair level and i really believe something very significant is going to happen we could always increase them but i didn't want to do that at this time. now the north for its part is putting a lot of pressure on the south korean leader to try and convince don

trump in hanoi have collapsed about the . and now. sees himself in a role as a mediator and also for kim jong il and it's a way to put some pressure onthe united states and show that he actually can also meet other leaders other world leaders and maybe hope that the by the u.s. about sanctions that he so eagerly wants to be lifted that those demands could be lowered. sri lanka's president is also defense secretary and the police chief to step down following sunday's attacks. says intelligence about the bombings wasn't shared with has office well those are the headlines radicalised says coming up next . ya know laugh. laugh. laugh. laugh. laugh at us stuff i end up. laughing because of. the los ma they don't. know how to say about us then as if i still have got one i thought i was the most of london. only if and the c.d.'s are immoral but i think it was a style of no nobody gonna split us that's where the job was pulled and i did not innocent a lot of it as a result of a. business. denominator that's going to let the i think. is that still. nobody else is one of the most was. more than a little. that yeah. yeah yeah yeah . yeah yeah.
