laura do you think that the north korea south korea summit which is going to be held by the end of this month will help settle the nuclear impasse i think it will contribute to a possible settlement of the impasse i think there are some conversations that need to go on between the two koreas about their expectations of the peninsula flutes and so critically the bilateral relationship between the two koreas is very important i think this idea of peace agreement arlan ensler is lowered to and wouldn't be that difficult to achieve but one would expect that given that this is something that the north koreans are interestingly and that the u.s. would want a quid pro quo through or rubber this is going to be the third summit between north and south korea leaders. is there any chance this one would produce some sense of breakthrough or do you think it's just going to be part of the confidence building measure the has been going on for quite some time will certainly be a part of the confidence building measures right mean the more often the two koreas meet the more it creates the sense of joint

the regular meetings of the families in south and north korea which are south and north korea are going to work closely to co-host some olympic games. and we are going to prepare for the centennial of three one independence day work. and through our course we are going to have a performance between the two koreas to celebrate autumn i also chairman came to visit seoul and chairman kim a promise to come to a so in near future which means within this here. if there is no big issues. chiming kim is going to be the first north korean leader who visit south korea and it is going to. a new milestone in into career relations to north koreans my fellow south koreans and koreans abroad chairman. showed his roadmap for the denuclearization of the korean peninsula and he agreed that we should make korean peninsula free of free of nuclear weapons and nuclear programs and i'd like to thank for their he's determination and commitment to this send you. into korean relations ought to be continued probable based on this result of the pending meeting i sincerely hope that north korea and the u.s. can res

it's great for south korea, great for the united states. reporter: the headline today here at the white house, liz, no doubt about it, rod rosenstein. rosenstein here at the white house earlier today, a source familiar with the matter told fox that rosenstein was expecting to be fired when he came here to the white house. instead, rosenstein ended up sitting in on a principals meeting because jeff sessions, his boss, was out of town. we saw rosenstein leave the white house with the chief of staff, john kelly, seeing him out to his vehicle and rosenstein is still on the job and now we are told that president trump and the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein will meet here at the white house on thursday. they will talk face to face. there was a phone call between the two earlier today, but as far as the job status of rosenstein, it appears to be tbd for the moment with thursday potentially being the big day. liz: thursday. blake, thank you. we should look at steel stocks right now. talking about united states steel stocks. u.s. steel is th

to south korea thank you very much for that assessment. you're watching dude every news coming up ahead who tells in amsterdam face a crippling stop show shortage and they're looking to center director james to fill the gap one of that's coming into business news. and that is with christoph co-host standing by so do stay with d.w. news if you get. me take it personally. with a little bit wonderful to make the game so special.

south korea went in with exemptions because the us is a big market for south korea, 65% of exports go to america. they said let us exports go to america. they said let us not have a tariff, let's have a quarter. this is to some extent a political move because it is reinstating some of that. president trump healing this as a big deal, he is keen to point out he can do these big trade deals. even though he is mired about a trade deal with the eu. he is fighting the midterms and he is thinking about the next presidential election. donald trump is the deal maker and he likes to see success saw his strategy at the moment is to say we are prepared to be more flexible on this deal. we will do some deals to be able to create an appearance that we are open for business and we are doing trade deals. forgive me when we talk about south korea being a small market, he is mired in that trade war with china, the worlds second largest economy, with the eu, and concerns over what deal he will get with japan, and yet he is healing a deal with south korea which is small. this is a small deal for south k

president trump has signed a revised trade pact with south korea. it's the first such deal finalised by mr trump, who's promised to overhaul america's trade relationships. the president's hailed the changes as a very big deal. many analysts though say the revisions to the 2012 agreement are relatively modest. so south korea and the us are major trading partners, with trade in goods and services worth just over $141; billion every year. under the new terms, south korea's agreed to exempt 50,00 cars per us manufacturer each year from complying with local safety requirements — that's about double the current level. it also extends a 25% us tariff on south korean trucks, which had been due to expire in three years. so that's the win for the us. the us has agreed to exempt the majority of south korean steel from the tariffs, that president trump announced in march. kim gittleson in new york says the deal has been described as largely cosmetic. shockingly, this is the first trade deal negotiated by the trump administration, which is perhaps better known

korea have previously used sports events as a tool for diplomacy on the peninsula south korea hosted the summer olympics in seoul in one thousand nine hundred eight in the winter games in pyung chang earlier this year which one of the iconic images was of the two countries marching under the crean unification flag at the opening ceremony they also feel that a joint women's ice hockey team in pyongyang and went further at the asian games in indonesia where they fielded a unified team in basketball canoeing and rowing in the latest joint statement the two koreas also said they're planning to participate jointly international competitions including the twenty twenty a limp eight games in tokyo i want to talk more about this i'm joined by strato suffield less as he's a communications consultant for him pick beds and games he works with the twenty eight team committee stratus what's in it for both of these countries. you see the olympic games have served well korea and korea seven games so it's interesting that this is the third the i knew very study of ninety eight games and if you don't

you have limited something mark i mean south korea north korea are basically ignoring the u.s. at this point which we long said on the show they need to do and they're taking a whole series of steps all right they're starting to demilitarize at a small scale the d.m.z. which is ironically enough the most heavily militarized area in the world they're constructing having north korea dismantle missile testing sites. the presidents of the two. j and kim jong il and climbed a sacred mountain sacred to both north and south korea historically you know to their culture together these are all confidence building measures all being taken of course. thank god without the u.s. in the room the only thing i'm worried about is what the u.s. will try to do to sabotage burgeoning peace twenty seconds yes well i mean these case with the north and south korea is a question ok so sanctions being ineffective there was a very good article about sanctions in general in the americans conservatives this week and it's very interesting that the united states is at the same time punishing china and one ca

, as well as the fact that south korea agreed to a quota when it comes to the amount of steel that it can sell into the us market. as a result, it won't be subject to those steel ta riffs won't be subject to those steel tariffs the trump administration imposed earlier this year. but the key thing about this agreement is that, while it probably won't do much to significantly decrease the trade deficit between the us and south korea, it does provide the trump administration with an easy when when it comes to the many trade battles it is fighting across the world —— easy win. battles it is fighting across the world -- easy win. let's take a look at the oil markets, and crude prices climbing above $81 for brent crude, its highest level since november 20 14. opec its highest level since november 20 1a. opec leader in saudi arabia and its biggest ally outside the group, russia, have ruled out any immediate increase in output to help cool down the market. well, demand for crude is strong. one analyst says there area number of is strong. one analyst says there are a number of geopolitical

you've been talking to many in the run—up in south korea. there is very mixed feelings, isn't there? there are mixed feelings. when it comes to his views of north korea, they are generally in favour of president moon's views towards kim jong—un. there are people believe this a risk. there are antagonistic feelings towards south korea, that we should not be engaging in this way. the problem domestically for president moon, the economy appears to be failing. that means he needs to be failing. that means he needs to pay more attention to people in seoul, rather than pyongyang. to pay more attention to people in seoul, ratherthan pyongyang. he can't pay attention to both problems at the same time. that's one of the reasons why he is tried to sell that visit, as a way to boost the economy to link north and south korea by rail, have a railway line that could run all the way towards europe. he is trying to sell all of this is an economic boost, to kill two birds with one stone. you are right about the optics. we will see all of this over the next

and north korea, north korea says they can live with u.s. troops in south korea. but how do you know? in what context did they say? they might've said it's useless to talk about withdrawal at that time. so instead of arguing that they couldn't achieve, they might have decided to show they are flexible, making a concession of tolerating a u.s. presence. but now i don't know. i don't know if they can live with u.s. troops when they decide to denuclearize. i doubt it. mr. stangarone: i'm going to bundle some questions because we are short on time. we will start with mark. >> thank you to you all for a great resin tatian. two quick questions. the first on the joint statement between the militaries that was theed to separately from statement. when i rated it seems like all of the concessions were coming from the south korean side, ambassador you referenced some of them. can you see anything the north koreans gave up that's useful? and secondly, it is clear that for the two koreas to move forward on the economic cooperation projects and others that they have, they need

we're seeing these pictures live in south korea as a first viewers in north korea are apparently seeing these pictures live as part of the preparations for this summit a logistics team of some ninety officials from south korea traveled north to help set things up for this event including five satellite trucks satellite trucks from of korean broadcasters are working with their colleagues to bring these pictures to us here in south korea and also to north korea where this point let me bring in a commentator who has been following all of these events for the past year or so the third summit what about the prospects for this what can we see so well i think we can say that there's a lot of pressure on the south korean government also on one scene to deliver something very concrete at this summit although any visit by yourself korean president to pyongyang is going to be symbolic this time the presidential office is very much emphasized he steered to do work and what is quite extraordinary about this summit is the fact that one scene will be spending a day and i have think. we can join talkin

very good news from the us career south korea. they met and we had a great responses i got a tremendous letter from him jungleland as you know it was deliberate three days ago i would beg to commend his progress with respect to north korea prior to becoming president it looked like we were going to war with north korea and now we have a lot of progress we've gotten our prisoners back. we're getting our remains back they continue to come in a lot of tremendous things but very importantly no missile testing no nuclear testing. they've been scenes of jubilation in pakistan after a cold ruled that the former prime minister nawaz sharif could be freed on bail islam about high court ordered sharif his daughter and his son in law to be released until that appeal against corruption conviction can be heard grilled deficiencies in the case presented to an anti corruption coach which sentenced him to jail in july come out hide a report from islamabad. the high court had a grid to brand the president a three time former prime minister of paki

our next up to our other top story the leaders of north and south korea have hailed a deal to improve ties between their two countries and a highly symbolic move the celts moon in even invited kim on to a soul in what would be the first ever post war visit by a north korean leader but progress on reducing nuclear tensions in the region was less clear cut can promise to close the country's main nuclear complex if the united states made reciprocal moves. day to south korean president visits to his northern neighbor kim jong un more carefully staged displays of harmony along with the generous serving of. the two leaders selling their pact is a breakthrough they've announced kim will become the first northern leader to visit seoul another step along the road to peace they say. will be adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal confrontation and agreed to make efforts to turn the korean peninsula into a land of pace. and the leaders agreed to disarm a jointly controlled border village starting with the removal of land mines they also said they've made progress on the issue the worl

which is the closest ally of south korea and in a way i think south korea's perfection perfectly positioned to carry out that objective so thank you very much indeed for now as we watch those flags fly the reunification flag of career and also the korean flag flying side by side as the two leaders drive off now to start their three days of deliberations lunch and then straight down into one of those first sessions was the one on one dialogue between kim jong un. and to see where that might lead to back to you hasn't thanks very much rob but as rob said there are a start of a three day visit by south korea's president to the north and a third meeting between the two leaders this year and we'll be following all of those developments from the korean peninsula let's move on now to other stories making news the u.s. stepping up its trade war with china president donald trump announcing tariffs on another two hundred billion dollars chinese exports the ten percent hike takes effect from next monday it will then increase to twenty five percent on january first next year trump says if china retalia

president trump has signed a revised trade pact with south korea. it's the first such deal finalised by mr trump, who's promised to overhaul america's trade relationships. the president hailed the changes as a very big deal. but many analysts say the revisions to the 2012 agreement are relatively modest. maike currie, investment director of fidelity personal investing, is with me now. good morning. looking at this revised trade deal between south korea and the us, many are saying it is not as big a deal as the president is saying. no, the key thing is to remember that this is not a brand—new deal, the original was brokered in 2012 by president bush, resident 0bama carried on. —— president. even though president trump has said it is a brand—new deal, it is only a few tweaks to an existing deal, in essence it is about south korea exporting less to the us and buying more us cars. what is good news for south korea is that it would be subject to some of those ta riffs it would be subject to some of those tariffs that have been slapped on other st

after historic three days with north korea's kim jong un the president of south korea is back on home soil. address the nation about the trip to the north he said north korea had asked the south to mediate talks with washington and that camp wants a second summit with the u.s. president donald trump as soon as possible. i shall get your nose since the into korean relationship is in line with the development of the relationship between the u.s. and north korea pyongyang asked us to be the mediator they propose to work closely with south korea as well i think the u.s. should understand the position of north korea and resume the talks as soon as possible i believe the accomplishments made at the summit this time will lead to the progress option of the talks. now to robert wright is live for us in seoul resisting that move went straight to the media center to make this speech from the airport after his three day trip. that's right laura it was his first stop was basically to try to sell this now to the south korean nation he has come back in confident mood as indeed he should i think peop

laura do you think that the north korea south korea summit which is going to be held by the end of this month will help settle the nuclear impasse i think it will contribute to a possible settlement of the impasse i think there are some conversations that need to go on between the two koreas about their expectations of the peninsula going forward it's so critically the bilateral relationship between the two koreas is very important i think this idea of peace agreement arlan ensler is lowered to and wouldn't be that difficult to achieve but one would expect that given that this is something that the north koreans are interestingly and that the u.s. would want a quid pro quo thwart rubber this is going to be the third summit between north and south korea leaders. is that it shows this one would produce some sense of breakthrough or do you think it's just going to be part of the confidence building measure the has been going on for quite some time will certainly be a part of the confidence building measures right mean the more often the two koreas meet the more it creates the sense of join

korea and south korea right now for any tangible benefits from this new dialogue between. north and south because as you say we've been down this road before with north and south korea. that's right the people of south korea live with the north korean question sometimes it's the north korean crisis from day to day become very much accustomed to it it's almost something that happens in the background here for most people this whole post policy of engagement has been generally well received by most people in south korea but you do get a sense of a bit of summit fatigue creeping in we're in downtown seoul there here as elsewhere there have been some large screens set up we have exhibitions of photographs from previous summit meetings and posters and so on and people are generally approving of it having said that move in himself his popularity it used to be around seventy percent when he was really pushing very in the early stages of this process it has now taken a nosedive something like below fifty percent and that in part is because of disappointment over his economic polic

cultural experiences and north and south korea are going to try to come up south korea are going to try to come up with a joint bid for the summer olympics. that would be huge if it happened. it looks like they are prepared to work towards that as well. as well as cooperation which they hope. let's come back to the economic stuff. denuclearisation, how big is this? president moon whence there wanting to be the go—between. has he done it?|j whence there wanting to be the go-between. has he done it? i think if this comes to fruition, but independent inspectors are allowed into the borders of north korea to see the destruction of this missile test site, i think it would be a huge victory. many went to pyongyang, certainly here in seoul and elsewhere around the world, there is an element of scepticism that kim jong—un is there is an element of scepticism that kimjong—un is not genuine, perhaps the south korean president wa nted perhaps the south korean president wanted it too much and had overblown the idea that north korea was willing to de— nuclear is. if he manages to get tho

american products to south korea. in other words, we are now going to start sending products to south korea. these outcomes give the finest american made automobiles, innovative medicines and agricultural crops much better access to korean markets. i think our farmers are going to be extremely happy. it was very limited as to what they could do and what they could send and now it's a open market and they are going to be sending a lot more farm products. that makes me feel very good. i love our farmers. as a part of this agreement. we have also secured increased access to america's auto industry. south korea will double the annual number of american cars sold within -- in other words, we used to sell a maximum of 25. and we wouldn't even goat that number. and now we're going to $50,000. we're doubling it proximate result manufacturer. that's 50,000 per manufacturer cars. that's each year. so that's a doubling of the cars per manufacturer that can enter its market meeting u.s. safety standards. so we're going with now a

i think south korea is really trying hard to bring in north korea to engage them economically just as the chinese are doing and the big question in south korea is are they going to propose a peace treaty at some point i don't think we're going to see this at the summit this month but i think there's a strong political will in south korea to offer more to north korea to just to bring them in from the cold hard botch the to me earlier that well history was made in the us open final as ninety osaka became the first japanese athlete to win a grand slam title the twenty year old defeated idle serena williams in straight sets but a controversial outburst from williams threatens to overshadow what should have been a night a celebration. serena williams was three one up in the second set in new york when things began to unravel having been handed a violation for receiving instructions from her coach williams was docked a point for smushing her racket as she threw away the chance to go for one up the american already a set don't bluster the umpire calling him a thief and a liar and was probabl

korea the big question of course is north korea's denuclearization commitment but south korean officials remain convinced about north korea's sincerity. official saying only last week that kim jong un accepts the fact he will have to carry out this denuclearization during president donald trump's first term in office which presumably means within the next two years that does seem to be a very tall order given the extent of north korea's missile and nuclear programs are but then this whole dialogue back and forth has seen many twists and turns so nobody i think can rule out what the coming week might bring years of conflict and said saddam has left more than half of its twelve million population in need of food aid for survival many have been displaced from their homes and farms and aid organizations say fighting makes it hard to reach those in need have a morgan has more. this is a regular scene as of a hospital in south sudan's capital juba children suffering from severe malnutrition come to this world every day to be treated one of them is agnes a russia's baby girl. she's been sick si

i think president moon and south korea deserve a huge amount of credit. they are the ones who really started this process from the beginning. from earlier this year with the 0lympics until now everytime the negotiations have run into trouble has been president moon that has stepped in to fix it. i give a huge amount of credit to president moon. but also to chairman kim and north korea. clearly the energy for this process is coming from the bilateral relationship between south korea and north korea. they are moving this process forward and it looks like they have revived this process from a dead—end process to one that now has some hope again. tom collina speaking to recode a little earlier. speaking at an informal summit, mrs may and again rejected the proposal that northern ireland should remain temporarily in the european union's customs union. with just six temporarily in the european union's customs union. withjust six months ago, time is running out to get a deal in place. laura kuenssberg is at the summit. stuck, looking for a way out. the prime m

of what the expectations are in south korea 7 it's of what the expectations are in south korea? it's enough to him to come back and say the visit to pyongyang has been a success. i think the sceptics will still say that the actions north korea is willing to take, first of all, they've not taken it so let's put in at their if they take it. lb sceptics who say, we need a timeline, and that some of this could be reversible, plus it may be that these sites are no longer needed by north korea. we don't know where the other sites are. some will say it's maybe not enough. good north korea have gone further? they could. as the corporation, talk of a railway joining could. as the corporation, talk of a railwayjoining the two countries, the idea that kimjong—un railwayjoining the two countries, the idea that kim jong—un will come to seoul and i work with an office of koreans and theyjumped up and they heard that. the first visit the north korean leader the south. these are the kind of measures that will be raising eyebrows but still, he has to deal with economic issues plaguing people

robert kelly from national university in south korea. germany's fragile coalition government is under pressure after chancellor merkel a saturday mastic intelligence chief and that promoted him to a more powerful post and going back all sides of the after old issue partners the social democrats demanded hard scale mass and sacking fellow conservatives backed him to continue the coalition party leaders agreed on martin's fate as a crisis meeting on tuesday but the compromise took many by surprise the deputy leader of the social democrats called the deal at the sastre it's the latest quarrel in a government that has already come close to collapse let's hear from one of the social democrats concerned about that martin's move this is the last claim by the s.p.d. he's a gent secretary-general. said to as some would not have been made deputy minister under an s.p.d. interior minister the minister and it's also important to point out that even the chancellor distanced herself from mass and hosts a whole for bringing martin into his interior min

korean president what can we expect to come out of those talks i think south korea is really trying hard to bring in north korea to engage them economically just as the chinese are doing and the big question in south korea is are they going to propose a peace treaty at some point i don't think we're going to see this at the summit this month but i think there's a strong political will in south korea to offer more to north korea just just to bring them in from the cold i mean you mention the fact that they're going to try and potentially engage south korea economically is that the sense that north korea at seventy really needs to do that for the for the state of the nation and the situation that the people find themselves in the absolutely does seventy years of north korea is a celebration for the kim family because they've hung on to power for seventy years there's not that many regimes worldwide that have managed to do that saudi arabia may need but. for the people it's a horrible situation it's nothing to celebrate seventy years of north korea north korea is in an area where every

on the other hand, my understanding from the summit that north korea and south korea just had, there will be a follow on to talk about opening economic ties, to talk about a railway project, and a business complex in north korea that has been destroyed. or had previously been dismantled. i do still think that we need to see verification regime put in place, a time when put in place, and north koreans to fully disclose their program, we have to keep that pressure up and the military option on the table, i think, before north korea and china, which is really behind all of this is going to change. >> what do you make of what happened in the capital last week between moon and kim signing the pyongyang declaration and stating that they are in a hold to the denuclearization process? many people would say to moon, tread very carefully here. how is it that south korea can never trust north korea given a history? >> president moon is a progressive. he comes from the left and is a big proponent of what they called the sunshine policy, which is the open economy, open the romantic relationship.

colonialism and created south korea as a colonial entity not in name but in reality and the u.s. fears any kind of reunification in. korea or among koreans will diminish american presence in this important part of the world but yes i have a lot of optimism because i think koreans north and south want this to happen finally just the comments about the un security council we see nikki haley suppose it's the nature of the beast nikki haley's always of making accusations and complaining perhaps it's just the nature of the council but the russian ambassador the benzine said the u.s. seems to be confusing the u.n. security council with the u.s. is only national security council he was joking but does he have a point there does the u.s. treat the u.n. security council like its own. of course it does i mean i think it's actually been quite soft and nice and polite in ironical and joking and sarcastic he could be even more forthright i mean whenever the united nations doesn't go along with the united states the u.s. uses nato to carry out wars of aggression like it did in yugoslavia when

and kim jong il and climbed a sacred mountain sacred to both north and south korea historically you know to their culture together these are all confidence building measures all being taken. course i think thank god without the us in the room the only thing i'm worried about is what the us will try to do to sabotage burgeoning peace twenty seconds yes well i mean these case with north and south korea is a place.

korea in the south korea it allows us to export billions of dollars of weapons there so consequently there are always people who are going to fight against pietz but in this period at this essential time when we're about to have another summit between north and south in september it seems to me that this is a reminder to both north and south that the us has never given up its wartime authority in south korea i'm not sure how many a day for masie international i'm calling braille but we didn't act well news off the redacted tonight. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me old it is yet to shake out just because to add to it and in detroit it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. four men are sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the hand. all four have different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. john mccain and his republican cohorts like the bush family and others they will break co

on the korean peninsula plus south korea. that's what north korea defines as denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the end of the u.s. nuclear umbrella, a promise for no future deployment of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula. so it's not the same type of denuclearization that we were talking about five years ago or ten years ago. i think two, three months, one year retreat from nuclear potential, we have to think about the price and when it's testifiable, whether we are better off with one year denuclearization, in return for instance all the u.s. troops and all those things that north korea is demanding. but this is something we have to think about. i think we shouldn't rule out the possibility of kim jon denuclearizing. and he's a genius strategist. he knows what he's doing, what he's talking about. >> so talking about that you could withhold some things or go for a year latency, one, we need a risk management strategy, how do we manage the risks of getting partially on this road, and maybe getting what we think w

south and north korea have agreed on a way to achieve denuclearization for the first time it's a very meaningful outcome. the north says it will allow international inspectors to observe the dismantling of its main missile testing site but it's repeatedly promised its closure in the past and the north has now made closing its nuclear plant beyond dependent on reciprocal steps from the u.s. without saying what exactly they want. both leaders have been keen to put on a display of unity at this summit but it's left experts debating if this is a big deal or yet more empty promises. professor robert ray kelly is a political scientist at south korea's prison national university i asked him if he had achieved anything substantial. a little bit i think probably the most important thing meaningful is that the north koreans considered inviting inspectors into the country and now it seems like the two facilities they want to comment have inspectors look at party been decommissioned in one way or another and it might not actually get relevant to the north korean program anymore i'm not sure that

south korea's mungy meets with kim jong un in pyongyang it's the first time in over a decade the south korean leader has been to the north can you help break the deadlock over ending pyongyang's nuclear program also coming up. russia and turkey agreed to set up a demilitarized zone in serious problems effectively delaying an offensive against rebel forces there the deal could stop what the u.n. warns would be a major humanitarian crisis. and it's the biggest night in television the seventieth emmy awards in los angeles offering the best shows and talent there were awards for streaming heads as well on a star studded night in tinseltown we'll talk about the winners. i'm brian thomas very warm welcome to the show south korean president j.n. has arrived in north korea for his third and possibly most challenging summit with its leader kim jong un but can he restart stalled nuclear talks promising discussions on denuclearization with the u.s. earlier this. here have since told traveling with moon some two hundred top executives highlighting a push to expand cross border business deals at th
