south korea will be frustrated because south korea will have less control than it should on critical security issues that are directly consequential to south korea's national interests. thanks. >> great, thank you very much, scott. >> thank you, bruce, good afternoon, everybody. and thanks again for having me back in in auditorium. it's always good to share panel with my friends and second what scott said about the opening remarks given by marc knapper. thank you very much for the forward-looking words in this very difficult final for japan and south korea. i would also like to give a disclaimer by my primary area is more of a political military realm so i'm going a little out of my box here and i also think that riley will have a far better insight into actual trade focus impact on these issues, so, i'll try to-- what i would try to do is to not japanese perspective per se, but what it looks to me, sitting in-- sitting in washington and looking at the issues for a long time and what this boils down to is this is an unfortunate turn of events. that's one point i'd like to stress. and

but does japan not want south korea as a partner? no, japan wants south korea to be a partner. then i think the two countries should be a partner. they have actually more regional and global concerns in common than they defer. but -- but i think that -- i will refer back to what i said in response to patrick's question, that this past couple of years' development really have put deep questions in the minds of japanese, not limiting to japanese government officials, about any agreement that tokyo reach at official level with seoul, can that be uphold, you know, long-term, or will that be under the transient agreement that with the new president they are going to be -- they're going to be appended? and then i think the last line of defense, and that was true when japan, south korea relation went through similar diplomatic tension during the administration is that yes, there are all these disagreements. it is very hard to work with this government, but this fundamental box that we created together in 1965 was not touched. this government seems to be trying to touch that box, and t

korea with the supreme court in south korea siding with victims of war time forced labor these were people who were forced to work during the 2nd world war in japanese factories apparently been settled by in 1965 agreement it's the courts in south korea said no it's not settled and the old boarded the certain japanese companies to pay compensation that has enraged japan they said that these moves are not connected with that but it's seen here in south korea as being very much retaliation and south korea says look there is nothing we can do this is the courts who are making this decision but that presumably is not believed by japan and japan does suspect that the south korean government is playing politics here bringing up the wartime wreck or the atrocities committed by japan here on the korean peninsula as a so is there any possibility then rob of this being reversed in or i mean is there anything to the south korean government. given that it did this decision is not going to be welcome can do to try to get japan to change as mine. they had been right until the very last moment bee

korea continued to be an extremely serious situation because of south korea's repeated negative and irrational actions including the most critical issue of laborers from the korean peninsula. the laborers referred to here are the young korean men and women who were forced into labor and prostitution in japan at the start of the last century this trigger the long running dispute. south korean courts recently ordered japanese companies in south korea to pay compensation to the victims of the trade dispute doesn't only threaten the economies of japan and south korea it also threatens global supply chains computer chips mobile phones and other tech products are made in both countries. now to some of the other business stories making news that britain british travel group thomas cook has agreed to a 1000000000 dollar rescue if we count up between chinese investor from sun and linda's but the bailout is that for the tour operators shareholders will be effectively wiped out. china plans to install $50005.00 g. base stations by the end of the you was made at this china rex both transmitters

say, can we tell south korea about this? if they get the go ahead, then they can relate to south korea. it's incredibly inefficient. that same general, army general vincent brooks, explains why he's still hopeful that there could be some resolution here. take a listen. >> so the next days will be telling to see whether south korea is trying to generate leverage in discussions with japan or even in their attempts to get the united states to help mediate which the united states has been less willing to do, or to deem a greater sense of favor with north korea and let those who i think are the three potential outcomes from this. >> the general there trying to fully understand what the motivations from south korea's side may have been and leading up to this, julia, he says ultimately he's hoping that the u.s. will back channel this a little before reacting too strongly. he wants them simply to pick up the phone, talk to south korean leaders, and figure out what led up to this and if this can be resolved before those 90 days are u

south korea relation priming, japan and south korea? my two answers would be different. >> overall. >> overall i think japanese government want south korea government to uphold what scott described, the basis of that normalization treaty staying intact, honoring all the government to government agreement that the two countries assigned and do not walk it back and especially 2015 agreement and that is why i think the dismantlement of that foundation was -- did send a strong message to tokyo that we cannot work with this government but does japan not want south korea as a partner? no. they want it to be a partner and then i think the two countries should be a partner and may have more regional and global concerns in common that they differ but i think that i will refer back to what i said in response to patrick's question that this past couple of years development really has put the questions in the minds of japanese, not limiting to japanese government officials about any agreement that tokyo reached at the official level with soul can b

south korea is in a lot of trouble. well, we have lots of challenges. i wouldn't call our relations with the us "troubled". i think we have our disagreements, all relationships do, but we are in an alliance of 65 years and we have been able to work through difficult issues in the past in this spirit of the alliance. we have our challenges with japan, we have our issues with china and russia, but one fundamental goal we share is that the korean peninsula must be wholly denuclearised, and we must find lasting peace on the korean peninsula. we very much have that goal in our sights, and we must deal with daily challenges as they come. foreign minister, i thank you very much indeed forjoining me from beijing. thank you for having me. hello, there. as we move into the latter part of august, it looks like summer is going to go for it with a real final flourish, and temperatures up to 30 celsius through the weekend and on into monday. which for some, is of course a bank holiday. the reason being, we want to get rid of these areas of low pressure, that have bro

which is why he chose to visit south korea and japan. we are all committed to the final, fully verified denuclearization of the korean peninsula as agreed to by chairman kim. together, we offer north korea a brighter path and a bright economic future for his country and his people should he make that decision to implement his previous commitments. japan hosts the enforcement coordination cell at the command center, which includes the republic of korea, japan, france and our five eyes partners. we are committed to enforcing un security council resolutions that prohibit the north korean ability to unlawfully export and -- export coal and import refined petroleum in the maritime domain. this instrumental effort that we call partnerships with a purpose is a daily reminder that the international community takes its obligations seriously and that sanctions will continue until north korea comes into compliance with international obligations and the agreement made in singapore. all parties want a stable and permanent peace on the korean peninsul

to south korea about it. president trump made the decision in singapore to direct us to modify, the way we exercise on the peninsula. really it is a gesture of goodwill trying to create more space for diplomacy. what we have been able to do in consultation with south korea is develop a modified approach to training that allows us to train on miss an essential tax and keep readiness at a high level. at the end of the day what you want to stress is how decisions get made in a crisis like environment in a combined decision-making command. we are able to do that through computer simulated scenarios. we are able to do that quite easily. senior military leaders in a room simulating that combined decision-making. we feel confident we are at a place where we can maintain theseess and train on all tasks while giving diplomats space should the talks resume and should north korea come to the table with a real sense of purpose that they want to reach their commitment to denuclearization. on the trilateral these what is t

or more let's bring in our correspondent in south korea. fabienne this is a dispute that just seems to be escalating i mean with seoul announcing today that it will cancel its intelligence sharing pact with tokyo where does all this lead. actually this comes a little bit as a surprise because just yesterday the foreign ministers of china japan and south we're we're meeting in beijing to try to resolve the conflict but obviously to norway all the cancellation of the military sharing. doesn't have any immediate effect because it will still run until the 23rd of and then it will not get renewed but it is it's essential for the tri lateral alliance between japan south korea and the u.s. to turn out korea and now this alliance shows open rifts and to me that's also proof that the trade dispute is even expanding towards security issues which is quite severe and this dispute i can only imagine must also have an impact on sas korea's economy we heard that from the central bank today how damaging is it. well maybe not s. damaging yet as you might ex

japan says it will remove south korea from a white list of countries that enjoy easier trading terms. this move comes after south korean court rulings ordered japanese firms to compensate wartime forced labourers. japan says the issue was settled by a treaty over 50 yea rs issue was settled by a treaty over 50 years ago. it has retaliated with export controls on items that are key to south korea's technology industries. koreans have, in turn, staged protest and boycotted japanese goods. live now to mariko who is following this for us. how big an impact is this happening?m isa big an impact is this happening?m is a significant impact. us china trade war was putting a lot of pressure on asian shares and this adds extra pressure. the us did try to intervene, telling the two key allies, japan and south korea, not to escalate this but in return the japanese government chose to go ahead with it and remove south korea from its so—called white list. that is basically japan's list of trusted trading partners that currently has 27 countries including germany, the uk and the united states. the
