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

for north korea. is surely to continue its denuclearization process like was on decommissioning very. young facility for the first step. on a site which is to be permanently commissioned and the inspection of the outside experts. from north korea. used permanent. destruction which means very fired known and irreversible nuclearization. chairman came also charts adjusted. of the secretary pump a are too young workers and he also wanted to have the second round of the summit meeting with president trying to. juggle. with this cussed at the not watchin. if you got it in detail to a cheerfully denuclearization which it was a huge change from the past. up till now north korea refused to discuss any measures or the nuclearization with south korea because it insisted it wasn't a matter of fact better that should be discussed with the us. but you get in the north korea now understands and agrees that the korean relations is really important. wondered on. the dialogue with the u.s. and north also asked our hel

forces in korea and the joint u.s. republic of korea command. from the viewpoint of international law, under conditions in 1991, the two states became fully fledged members of the u.n., maintaining the command in korea which as the u.n.t entity as a party from a legal viewpoint is nonsense. officially states they are trying to prevent a conflict and calling upon a declaration to end the war on the pencil and sign a peace treaty, what we need to do is analyze the role and the need for such troops. in the 50'stermined under the un security council resolution, they were passed against a historic context. the ussr at the time boycotted that meeting. basically, they have nothing to do with the u.n. so we therefore, need to consider the possibility of withdrawing the decision of the 30th ga provided for the disarming of the troops in 1956 and replacing them with a korean border post in case there was to be future normalization. the institutions and mechanisms of the un security council should be used to support the settlement rather than becoming a ro

backed sanctions against north korea. this is about half an hour. >> good morning, the meeting is called to order. the provisional agenda is nonpe -- nonproliferation, democratic people's republic of korea. in accordance with rule 37 of the councils provisional rules procedure, i invite the representatives of japan and the republic of korea to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. in accordance with rule 39 of the councils provisional rules , i invite miss rosemary carlow to participate in this meeting. it is so decided. the security council will now begin item two of the agenda. i now give the floor to miss rosemary decarlo. rosemary: thank you. there have been several new developments of the democratic people's republic of korea. on april 20, the dprk announced immediate halt of certain longer-range ballistic missiles. on may 24, the dprk reportedly dismantled its nuclear test site. the dprk also reportedly dismantled missile related .nfrastructure international experts woulere not invited to witness any of the

/north korea summit. do you think that given what has happened so is far that we rare pretty much on that road, and that you are going to be getting ambassador chung in on this real quick. >> i don't see a problem with secretary pompeii can owe's statement which tries to put a look at the development. and so whatever pompeo feels in his heart, i think that the right response would be to are respond positively for that, even if it is not clear, but to give it is a chance, and engage north korea in a more intense negotiation, serious negotiation. so i think that, you know, regardless of my pessimism, i think that secretary pompeo took the right approach in responding to the summit outcome. second from et, i think it is very important to hold a well prepared summit, because an ill-prepared summit can sometimes create more problems than solve them. as in singapore, it takes more time to agree on what was agreed in singapore than to prepare for successful summit. that would occur if you agree on the princeiple

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

north korea promised to suspend missile and nuclear tests you know korea and the u.s. also suspended its large scale military drills and we have jointly years on office between the two koreas where we can always discuss issues between the two koreas and this is a new era for the into korean history it is a dream come true. peace and prosperity is deeply embedded in our hope and we always wanted to achieve if it. it might seem a bit hasty but it's not wrong it's been our long term expectation and hope and thanks to our long term preparation we now have this realized. eighty million korean people. one ten hope for this peace and we shoot. complete a total denuclearization to achieve this peace and continue this peace chairman kim and i. discussed how to enhanced the corporation between the two koreas and how to a cheerful balanced economic development through various measures north and south korea. are to. start to connect rail and road between the two koreas case song industry a complex and tourism program are also to be resumed sooner or later go on and in order to pre

call it north korea. in my memory everything is great, that's how my childhood was when i was starving and hungry and desperate and scared that even the birds and mice can hear me, that's one thing my mother taught me that even the birds can hear me. but despite that, i think the most important thing was a family to me, that taking back to my childhood, i was lost and i was terrorist in myhousehold . >> where is your family, your sister, your mother, your father today ? >> my father died from the cancer he got in north korea. >> where did he die? >> in china. in 2008. and my mother in south korea in the countryside. and i got reunited with my older sister who we were separated for seven years and she's in south korea, studying university now. and i am in america. >> are you a citizen? >> i'm not, i'm a permanent resident. >> are you going to go for your citizenship? >> of course. if this country will let me have the honor. >> yeonmi park, what year did you cross the river into changbai? >> it was march 31

people are looking at the summit they're looking at the possibility of integrating the two koreas of ending the division of ten million families families are coming together and seen each other the north and the south as the russian diplomat pointed out had agreed to have an interconnected railroad between south and north korea i mean korea was a was a unitary culture for five thousand years it was the united states using the u. n. command in pre-mature which it still enjoys at the d.m.z. all these years after the armistice that was signed in one thousand fifty three use that authority that blocked a railroad between north and south korea again the u.s. hates the idea of peace breaking out in the korean peninsula all this talk about human rights or nuclear weapons with north korea as a nuclear threat warning that's just so much being ass and the reason for it is because the u.s. can't really say what it wants to do which is to maintain a. status of permanent tension and near confrontation because it helps arms manufacturers in the united states continue to sell weapons to already blo

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 country around them has really developed and they haven't although they have all the chances and we hope that we'll see some development there ben had an expert on china north korea from the battles and foundation thanks for your insights thank you. well some sports news now in the first round of the new way for nations league spain beat england two one in a scrappy encounter at london's wembley stadium marcus rushford opened the scoring for england in the eleventh minute but south equalized to spain jus

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

last year, the main topic was north korea. he's certain to address north korea again here, but he's going to talk about iran. he pulled the u.s. out of the agreement. he's going to talk about china. he has instituted a policy of very harsh sanctions against china, rather tariffs against china, which he's going to stay i'm going to stick with it. how is that going to be received by this body here? >> i think the body is going to be listening for another country in president trump's speech. that's actually russia. we're focused on iran right now, but let's remember, russia has violated u.n. resolutions. russia used chemical weapons in the united kingdom which is exactly why there have been international condemnations. the u.s. is sanctioning russia because of that, and we know that the president doesn't really like to push russia around on a public stage. so i think the body will be waiting to hear if russia makes a speech or not, and also, whether there's any kind of consistency between what the president says about north korea

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

clearly the threats posed by north korea and the united states and south korea and japan. the strength of our alliance remains critical for years to come. i look forward to hearing from you how to you maintain our alliance with the republic of korea given the diplomatics developments that have occurred. admiral fowler, you'll be facing a different set of challenges. a smaller pool of resources. at the same time, the issue sets that you face are no less challenging or compelling. especially given the current opioid crisis of the united states. you'll play a critical role in the whole government effort to curb the influx of life threatening narcotics into the united states. venezuela poses a significant challenge to the region. and admiral fowler, i look forward to hearing from you. also, admiral fowler, i would like to hear from you how you plan to coordinate command to ensure we're engaged in a global strategy to counter the efforts of russia and china. and, finally, i know you're prepared to address comments that have been raised recently in the press, which i think are i

you are having a lot of talks with north korea. you are not seeing what you need to in terms of denuclearization. how long do you leave the door open before we decide this is not working? >> you have to remember this is a process that will move forward. to set a date certain would be foolish. make no mistake about it. the conversations we are having are important. they are putting the opportunity to complete the denuclearization in place. we will continue it at every level to have those conversations. some of them, you will be aware of. some you will not know are taking place. .here's lots going on these are the u.n. security council resolutions that demanded north korea give up its nuclear weapons program, and even more broadly, its nuclear capability. those are not united states demands. those are the united nations demands. we are working to implement them and help chairman kim get to the right place to on a promise he made in singapore. >> do you think he will go through with this? >> yes. >> president trump said earlier today

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 minister and other leaders have eight weeks to agree what happens to northern ireland after we leave. her plan says... it is the only credible and negotiable plan on the table that delivers no hard border in northern ireland and also delivers on the vote of the british people. but what we cannot accept is seeing northern ireland carved away from the united kingdom customs territory. but the eu club's plan is very different. they

north korea and moon j.n. pretty much straight away those sessions of course will be the most important of this summit they will give us hopefully some indication of moving forward on into korean relations but also possibly giving us some kind of breakthrough when it comes to the stalled talks between north korea and the united states on getting rid of north korea's nuclear arsenal we as you mentioned we are also 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 th

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. know if they will tell you that these games back in ninety you know where it counted for democracy for the country now. young time games was pretty important. they were happening at the moment of attention between the north and south and they marketed u.s. style a sort of a tension between north and south so what we see here is they're not sort of mixed up or. the koreans always when they bid for the games they mention. out of the only way to they're not going to support peace and i guess and that's what we're watching right now yeah and so far it is the plan just a bit but what obstacles what they face. now with a new identity. for the olympic games or this allows for a more flexibility in the past will have to rule as we see the possible now we know that it's possible to have. the horse only be explored so i think as we move to a new era when people in the games are more forceful and have a sense i have. a pl

and and and north korea directly christine. well i think that north korea has signalled that they would dismantle two key sites one is the long range missile launch pad and then the other is the young the nuclear reactor which have long been the ire of washington d.c. but what we know is that north korea has said that that is contingent on progress made with the united states i mean you can see the images of libya and the political chaos that country is in you see the situation what happened in iraq and now what happens with iran and north korea also has its own history to look at where eighty percent of the country was devastated by an indiscriminate u.s. bombing campaign so i think it's really crucial i think especially for americans who are watching the show is you're not going to see the denuclearization of north korea unless there is progress towards peace and that's why i think it's urgent right now to be advancing the conversation about a peace treaty and put it on the table why should i you know i mean i just push back

korea at the crossroads all tommy and alliance in an era of evil powers he is a he's senior for korea studies and director of the program on u.s. korea policy at the council on foreign relations i'm happy to welcome to the. scott snyder mr spider it's good to have you with this let me start by getting your read on the news tonight that the u.s. is is setting january twenty twenty one as a deadline for denuclearization talks with north korea to end how do you see that. well that date actually originally comes from report spy the south korean special envoy and preparations for the enter korean summit of a date that kim jong un has indicated as a date for completion of denuclearization and so the fact that those two dates have been or that or that date has been agreed upon by both the u.s. and north korea is a kind of step forward but we really still don't see step by step how this denuclearization process is going to be unfold and there are a lot of doubts still about whether or not north korea really intends to go fully down the denuclearization pathway or would like to hold on to a re

and north korea. so, it's safe hedge for abe to the open talk, and abe is using some secret channel like prime minister before him? i don't think so. >> it did seem like there was more talk about it and abe-kim summit earlier when kim was sort of the diplomatic debutante of the year and everyone wanted to get on board of the train of, well, if everyone else is meeting with him, i guess i better, otherwise japan looks like they're left out, but north korea was very dismissive of the abductee issue and said, it's been solved, move on. and then now is the u.s.-north korea talks are more publicly becoming clear that we're not getting anywhere and north korea released another grumpy gram last night or this morning sort of, no, no, no, what don't you get about no, that abe may feel like, well, okay, if the train is faltering, he doesn't need to put as much effort into getting a summit. otherwise, it looked like he was being left out. right here. >> thank you for coming. this is really great conversation. my

accepting north korea -- korea at a nuclear stage, and the direction of nuclear -- that is kind of -- but, even such a scenario, i think, an alternative for japan to take. so, what japan is trying to do, is -- tie the united states, and try to favor international -- in the region. but, probably -- -- foundation. which, i do not do, have been working on these things, like, the promotion of dietary service. in japan and -- and recently -- asian-pacific relations and prosperity. very interesting events. we hosted the prime minister of malta, in europe. in malta. malta is an island nation. actually, prime minister abe ministered malta last year and this year the prime minister of malta actually met abe. very interestingve- for the fda also, prime minister abe said he prayed for the soul of the war dead. so, showing how japan tried to serve the public good. also, they stated very important things for malta and japan and the international public good and international order. that is the kind of thing they are trying to do. also, another initiative, prime minister abe held a summit with paci

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

deals with north korea. they have seen past presidents pay exorbitant amounts of money just seen past presidents pay exorbitant amounts of moneyjust to listen north korean prussic —— corporation on projects service south korean public will really look out for some key su bsta ntive public will really look out for some key substantive details to see if kim jong—un is serious about giving up kim jong—un is serious about giving up nuclear weapons. there are going to bea up nuclear weapons. there are going to be a lot of south korean critics who are clued to zeroing in on how much the south korean government paid to actual summit so there are a lot of parts here so in general, the south korean public, there is unanimous consensus on the desire for true heat but the definition of what peace means is diverse in the south. coming up behind these leaders, this 200 strong delegation with president moon, many of them businesspeople, clearly hoping to build business ties, do you think thatis build business ties

relations between the two koreas do seem to be improving but real progress in the region will depend on convincing the us that the north is serious about getting rid of its nuclear weapons. let's get more from political scientist robert e. kelley from south korea suppose that national university welcome to doubly so happy seen some problems as a piece from pyongyang but was anything of substance achieved. 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 already been decommissioned in one way or another and it might not actually get relevant to the north korean program anymore so i'm not sure that that's actually a major concession that's up for debate probably in the next couple weeks we'll see what that means but inspectors are something new right i mean we know the north koreans don't like inspectors foreigners can operate freely in north korea all right so if we get that from them that's actually a pretty g

administration for many years most of korea was in medieval and this country and. the leaders of this country and the country itself and the people of this country it was mentioned as the world's hugest problem and in the evil was the world which was used to describe the country and now yeah and now i think the you heard mr trump think several times korea so what happened to the city and i was not north korea has changed nothing like that happen but united states change their position then their policy toward north korea probably the they can use a similar approach to iran and the things will go better yeah who knows what kind of twists and turns another year will bring about. new york i will ask former u.s. diplomat jim johnson what he thought about the russian foreign minister's remarks. i have noticed that mr lover of tends to be very diplomatic very polite very gentlemanly in his expression but i did notice a certain level of impatience today that he i think his patience has been tried one time too many yes we are talking about whether or not we will have we wi

korea to see a re you know if i. korean peninsula but you do get a sense that in the current mood the current excitement just what might be possible in the future well meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has welcomed wednesday's agreement between the two koreas like pompei or has invited north korea's foreign minister to meet with him on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly next week and the statement tom perez says the agreement will mark the beginning of negotiations to transform u.s. d p r k relations through the process of rapid denuclearization of north korea to be completed by january twenty twenty one as committed by chairman kim and to construct a lasting and stable peace regime on the korean peninsula roslyn jordan has more from washington d.c. . mike pompei as offer of talks between the north koreans and the united states comes as a bit of a surprise but perhaps not so much given that earlier on wednesday the u.s. president donald trump said that he recently received another letter from ki

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

ending extended deterrence for north korea for south korea ending the mutual defense treaty and so forth so we'll see what this details of this are of north korea's changed its position arms control been around for a long time if north korea is serious there are mechanisms for fulfilling its nonproliferation commitments that it's already been said that it's already made so we'll see if the working groups can flesh this out and reach some details that are workable ok thanks and thanks very much for joining us from cell. now china has followed through with its threat to retaliate against the latest u.s. tariffs on chinese goods further escalating a trade war aging says its imposing levies on another sixty billion dollars of american made items to u.s. president donald trump announced increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of chinese products tom says he's open to talking to beijing but what let's take advantage of the u.s. has more from beijing. china fires back in the escalating trade war between the united states and china imposing sixty billion dollars worth of tariffs that's

of korea work closely together on north korea issues and remain in close contact to coordinate our unified response to north korea rob mcbride joins us live in seoul so rob for those wanting to see some diplomatic progress here this would be a welcome development after a process that scene stalled for a while. yes this is hasn't a long awaited announcement be young the security chief from south korea briefing journalists here in seoul in the last hour or so after his visit wednesday to pyongyang saying that confirming that yes this long awaited summit will go ahead between the eighteenth and twentieth of september in pyongyang it will be the third summit between j.n. of south korea and kim jong un of north korea this year hoping to advance this whole process of denuclearization of permanent peace on the korean peninsula high level talks between north and south korean officials will begin next week laying the groundwork for this next summit it was also been agreed as you mentioned there that north korea according to chong is still very much committed to the whole process of working with sou

among the topics, north korea, syria, iran. you can bet the president will have well deserved strong words for the iranian regime. they are among the worst violators of un security council resolution. if not the absolute worst in the world. he will call on every country to join our pressure campaign to thwart the torrent of destructive activity. whether it is venezuela, south sudan, burma, china, we estimated 25 million victims of modern slavery around the world can also count on america's support. today is shaping up as a great first day. lots more work to come this week. president trump and our entire diplomatic corps look forward to the days ahead when we achieve shared victories for all. ambassador haley? >> good morning. we got a great start today with the president event on counter narcotics. really to understand this event is to understand the fact that it was not just a bunch of people getting into a room, every country that attended had to sign a global call to action, which basically said that they were going to imple
