president trump and this administration understand the problem. there's a long history were -- where north korea has reviewed its nuclear program as providing the security needed for the regime. the effort now is to come to a set of understandings to convince the north koreans of what president trump has said. if we are able to achieve it, if north koreans are prepared to denuclearize, this includes all elements of their nuclear program, if we convince them of that, that in fact there security is greater, and in fact the real threat to the security is the continued holding onto of the nuclear weapons program and not the converse. we have had lots of conversation around that. the true test comes when we achieve this. many conversations have been had about how we might proceed and what the path might be going forward, so we can achieve the denuclearization the world demands of north korea and the security assurances that would be required to allow them to -- s to achieve that. >> martha, from abc news. >> you call it a proposed summit. will we find

president donald trump peace supports that you solve waterboarding he said it many times however this is something that well the rest of the world pretty much considers torture when diana marbury which by the way which by the way we are keeping open which we are keeping. and we're going to load it up with some beer dude split we're going to load it up would i feel strongly about waterboarding as far as i'm concerned we have to fight fire with in fact donald trump doubled down in his support for waterboarding as he promoted the woman who is in charge of the cia black sites to the top job in agency gina hospital who's well referred to by her detractors in the media particularly here in germany as either the torture queen or bloody gina well she took over as the new cia director earlier this month if you ania's says that it may appeal the ruling we discussed the case with former guantanamo bay prison now outreach director for rights organization cage. the reality is that these are war crimes and he was prosecuted for this and nobody will because of it no matter how many accomplices and i

that's how the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, described president trump's planned summit with kim jong—un mr pompeo was speaking at the end of talks with a senior north korean official in new york, focussing on ways of keeping the meeting on track. key us allies say they will retaliate against washington for its decision to press ahead with steel and aluminium tariffs. the eu, canada and mexico say they'll impose duties. and this story is trending on bbc.com real madrid fans are stunned by zinedine zidane‘s decision to step down as team coach, less than a week after leading the spanish club to a third straight champions league triumph. many fans saying "gracias" on social media. that's all from me now. stay with bbc world news. now on bbc news, it's time for hardtalk. welcome to hardtalk, i am sarah montague. crispr—cas9 has been described as the greatest biological breakthrough in decades. it is a gene editing tool and the hopes that rest on it are immense, that it can be used to cure cancer and other intractable diseases, stop mosquitoes carrying malaria, create drought re

institute at the free university of berlin when imposing these tariffs president trump invoked a seldom used section of trade or from the one nine hundred sixty s. in fact allowing him to impose trade barriers when there is a threat to national security was was there any sign of that. i thought canada i thought the european union i thought mexico were all friendly countries and also that we're all in the same boat together speaking about security so it's clearly one of these distant ideas of industrial policy if you don't have something very specific then somehow you're less of a nation less secure but it is clearly just made up the only way he could get to do what he's just frightened to do and he's doing it does seem rather obscure but the u.s. common. saying that not enough had been done to reduce that trade deficit we do have to acknowledge it is it is very large does he have a point that sometimes you can say you got there is that deficit now the question is do we agree what the cause of the u.s. deficit are economists are actually pretty much in a great agreement it has to do with

trump has made her disdain -- stewart, sorry, has made her disdain for trump pretty obvious. here's something she tweeted out flipping trump off in 2017. so why is trump now offering her a pardon? sure she's a celebrity. people know this. but pardoning stewart is slamming trump's nemesis, jim comey. james comey. turns out comey was the one who built the case against martha stewart. trump would like you to believe that he is writing moral wrongs. but the real question is, are these pardons really about himself? >> i'm fighting a battle against a horrible group of deep-seated people. drained the swamp. they're coming up with all sorts of phony charges against me. >> phony charges, the swamp. are these pardons about sending a signal to trump's allies? people like michael cohen, michael flynn, paul manafort, all facing the possibility of decades behind bars if convicted, that the president is saying, i'll pardon you if you just remain loyal to me. see what i've done to these other high-profile people? jeff zeleny is traveling with the president today, he's live in houston. look,

we're talking about donald trump. >> how about donald trump jr.? >> absolutely donald trump jr. i think the president will be a father and look out for him. but the son-in-law? i'm not convinced on that. look what, we're talking about here is a dereliction of constitutional duty by the other branch of government. by congress. and i mean, we're talking about norms and customs, we were talking just a moment ago before we went to governor blagojovich's lawyer about how you know, it's not settled whether the power of the parole of the of president. it used to be that there was processes and procedures that a president would have to go through. there's a person in the white house or in the doj whose seoul job it is to vet people for parole. what happened yesterday with dinesh d'souza from the reports i read, a three-minute phone call where the president says we've never met. i don't know you. you've been done and i justice. i'm pardoning you tomorrow. three minutes, a phone call. the president of the united states. such a powerful power he has. >> he does it with impunity. thank you.

but also president trump -- at candidate trump buttal president trump. lou: this is stunning we're having this conversation. >> and arginarguing with members of congress that this is normal. we have a bunch of water carriers in republican caucus. lou: i am naming names, trey gowdy is scri schizophrenic, hen the service of the establish. and the deep state. he is that. and i am delighted that congressman ron desantos, and a few handful of others, have stood up and called him out. calling his rationalization of putting a spy in trump ca campan absolute bolder dash. reporter: for congressman gowdy it has been protecting mueller, he understands that spygate goes to heart of the mueller investigation. >> and we have to hit the emron story with former democratic information technology aide, it is a case by itself. remember this was contemporaneous with spygate and on set of special counsel with russia collusion. we know that there had been an attacks on u.s. servers in u.s. house of representatives, democrats. and note not a thing has happet has been that pros

there were plenty of reasons for trump to fire comey. the rosenstein letter reveals what everybody already knows, which is the republicans and democrats alike, former justice official felt that he should be fired. he had a perfectly valid reason to do so. the statement obviously it has cost him a great deal, but i do not think that it makes out a case for obstruction. >> martha: really all depends in the end, we are all waiting for the report from robert mueller and how he interprets it. but according to the stories, there is a breathless story of us in the day that pushes forward the narrative interest to get into the mind of robert mueller how he is interpreting all of this. but the bottom line is, that we do not know how he is interpreting all of this. >> i think that that is absolutely right. i can tell you that from a criminal defense standpoint, people are fooling themselves when they say, believe that the comey firing alone would be the basis of an obstruction case. moreover, the president has a good basis to argue, even his probl

it shows that any negotiations would still be quite difficult, even if this summit with donald trump goes ahead. we are hopeful and expectant as to what would be in the letter that the north korean delegation will hand over to the president, we will see on friday? that's right, the head of security will deliver it himself, it shows that the summit is back on track. when president trump cancelled this summit last week, he did it by writing kim jong—un a letter. summit last week, he did it by writing kimjong—un a letter. saying conditions were not appropriate due to angry statements that if kim jong—un had a change of heart, you should feel free to cool. —— free to call. it's interesting that he has taken up the offer, a success of the sign of the talks and plenty of ground work for that summer to go ahead. that meeting with north korea is not the only thing preoccupying the us president. president trump has made good on a campaign promise by slapping hefty tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium. we were always expecting that. but the countries the president has targeted w

with regards to the united states relation to would you president trump was called you quote animal asset to have a nickname for the u.s. president. this is not my language so i cannot tooth similar language this is his language to prevent him thing the. know in principle that what you see is what you are three wanted to present what he is. in any way. you didn't move anything in this kind of language who did anything. for anyone the only thing that moves you if what people that you trust are people who are liberal headed people who are thoughtful people or moral or ethical that would move anything inside you with a positive or negative somebody like we move nothing for him but with regard to the united states presence here and this is an interesting thing you know a came up of. a while ago there are now in syria forces from five nuclear powers five nuclear powers directly engaged in military operations in syria bede boots on the ground or strikes some of those countries are on different sides how serious is this civil war still the words of a lot has been used widely think the beginning

the talks with ken young child in new york are supposed to smooth the way for a summit between donald trump and kim jong un in june but pompei refused to confirm if the meeting would definitely. our two countries face a pivotal moment in our relationship in which it could be nothing short of tragic to let this opportunity go to waste. in my conversations with your mckim going to be on your own today with vice chairman kim jung il i've been very clear the president of the united states objective is very consistent and well known that complete or flyable irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and other developments canada and france have hit back at the u.s. decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports saying the move is unacceptable and illegal and that they will impose retaliatory measures u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross says the twenty five percent tariff on steel and a ten percent tariff on alan minium a targeted at canada mexico and the e.u. the measures are set to come into effect in zero four hundred g.m.t. on friday ross says the door minds open to nego

the two also discussed and analyzed president trump's foreign policy. [applause] thank you. it's a pleasure, i want to say such a pleasure to be here with secretary albright. as you know, she served as our secretary of state from 1997 to 2001. before that she was our u.n. ambassador. she served on the nfc staff and foreign relations committee, she's teaching and running her own company and she's published a new book that we're going to talk about in some detail called "fascism, a warning" and some might say the title is alarmist. and she says good. [applause] david: before turning to the subject matter of your book, madam secretary, i want to talk about what's very much in the news on online, a subject that you are uniquely qualified to talk about and that's north korea. the audience will remember that secretary albright went to pyong yang in october, 2000 and met there with a then leader of north korea, kim jong-il, the father of kim jong-un, and had a round of discussions with him about a deal that's very much like the kind of deal that is being discussed as president trum

"he's a democrat. he's not my party. but i thought that he was treated unfairly. he shouldn't have been put in

a stateside take us through first of all what exactly are these measures being brought in by donald trump. well what's interesting is that the secretary for commerce and nouns these tariffs after meeting with the french finance minister which seem to have gone well judging by the smiles on their faces but the tariffs reportedly threatened seven point four billion dollars worth of european exports to the u.s. but when the announcement was made the secretary for commerce downplayed the tariffs he said that. the u.s. e.u. relation shouldn't really be affected by let's check out what he said. is there a boom boom boom or green i don't think the fundamentals are very very soon i think everybody will get over the course. but like i said it shouldn't really affect u.s. relations we'll just have to see what happens police there bit of a problem on the line many thanks american in washington let's go to the did it in london for us in the theory of washington sure that the tariffs are not going to affect relations are going to stick my neck out here and say that they're not going to agree with that

under the trump administration the focus is more on ideology and ideas. let's falsify, let's disprove and falsify the ideology that terrorists use to radicalize. it's more immediate, it's more direct and i think that's one of the major differences we have seen. >> there is an argument that some of our western efforts to falsify claims made by various violent extremists rests on the rationalist fallacy and the reasoning that we use empirical and now it's facts, doesn't work very well in some context. it certainly doesn't work very well in persuading the argument to radicalize. do you agree with that analysis and what other ways might we go about neutralizing problematic ideas? >> i think human beings are rational creature. they are capable of giving reasons for their behavior and they are capable of listening to reasons for why they shouldn't do what they are doing. in order to fully develop that rational fallacy such that people are perceptive -- reset the tube persuade them from pursuing a path of violence it's important they cultivate the critical think

not to mention the diplomatic shards left after trump attempted to blow up from the iran nuclear deal by pulling the u.s. out of it to imagine that she and the u.s. president enjoy a deep connection would be the stuff of fairy tales but it was very real when barack obama was in the white house and the latest proof is in a new book entitled the world as it is by ben rhodes rhodes was an advisor to obama for much of his presidency but it's his memoirs from the final weeks of the obama administration between donald trump's election victory and his inauguration they caught our attention for the first time we are offered a glimpse into what obama was thinking about the u.s. and its allies including german chancellor angela merkel as he prepared to transfer power to a man who intended to undo every major achievement that carried obama's signature right joining me to go through this first glimpse into those heady final days of the obama presidency a familiar face here it was fun no arduous it's good to have you back on the show for people who don't know you were a member of the two thousand

does for trump. because i felt the moment trump was elected the whole world of the kardashians was kind of wrecked. what i'm hearing in tv circles is that networks like msnbc and cnn are taking the ratings from reality tv because basically the whole world is reality tv at this point. >> can we give them back? [ laughter ] >> how does that work? >> i think we know how that works, and how to make that happen. >> i think it's a scary moment because we are not living in a reality show. we are living with very serious issues all over the world and donald trump is a textbook narcissist. we gloss over this fact when we talk about him and his tendency to make every single thing, no matter what it is, about himself. but it's an inflated sense of self-importance, but it's based in a deep sense of insecurity. so that's why he needs celebrities to validate him to feel important, to feel that he's someone that people are talking and buzzing about, because that's what being a celebrity is, that people know who you

and it seems like he is getting serious between you and donald trump. what is very interesting about that little meeting is that it shows kim jong un has somehow managed to put himself, it's on the psyche is courting, he is sort of the most eligible bachelor in northeast asia, and everybody is coming to him to see what he wants. and what we can do to make you happy. trying to get influence with him. i think that that is a very strong position for him to be in. the united states has quite openly said, if you do business with us, if you give us what we want, we are prepared to guarantee your safety, make you rich. the president even said, make you happy. and that is a very sweet offer that probably alarms the russians and the chinese a little bit that may be the united states, my gosh, will turn out to be the most influential power right here in northeast asia. and they are moving to check it out. >> bret: in the meantime, we are still checking the russia probe on a lot of different fronts. the president tweeting today a number of tweets, but this one, no

if you want to understand president trump's economic policy, all you have to do is read playboy. an interview he gave nearly 30 years ago to the soft porn magazine lays it out with clarity. "we americans are laughed at around the world for losing 150 billion year after year", he said back in 1990. "for defending wealthy nations for nothing... our allies are making billions screwing us". there, in a nutshell, you have the theory behind what the president has now introduced as trade policy. a levvying of tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium from the european union, canada and mexico, when their current deal expires at midnight. the duties are being imposed, washington claims, on national security grounds, in particular to stop china flooding cheap metal into global markets. it's "america first" worn with pride and has left his allies screaming

trump claimed again today that ousting f.b.i. director james comey had nothing to do with the russia investigation. he tweeted: "not that it matters but i never fired james comey because of russia!" in fact, he's previously said the opposite, at least twice. the first time came within days of comey's dismissal in may of last year. >> i was going to fire comey knowing, there was no good time to do it. and in fact when i decided to just do it, i said to myself, i said you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a made up story, it's an excuse by the democrats for having lost an election that they should have won. >> woodruff: special counsel robert mueller is now investigating the comey firing for possible obstruction of justice. comedian samantha bee apologized today for calling the president's daughter, ivanka, a sexual obscenity. it happened last night on "full frontal", bee's show on tbs. the white house condemned the comment as "vile and vicious." in a twitter statement later, bee said her language was "inexcusable,"

they would be relatively unscathed by the retaliation we got to expect from the countries president trump hit with aluminum and steel tariffs today's decision to hit even our allies with those tariffs which are meant to combat the effect of chinese dumping on the global market rocked a lot of stocks. now, this actually makes sense you hit a country with tariffs they're going to hit back. that's what they do. they don't just take it lying down come midnight their steel exp t exports hit by a that% duty. now, this came as a surprise because these countries are our allies and we have free trade treaties with them the administration has been debating whether to make their exemptions permanent but didn't pan out. our stock market got hammered when our president first rolled these out. stands to reason we roll back the gains now that they're going away and industrials are the most obvious targets for retaliation. again, our bank stocks got hit because of the reduction this world trade will produce less commerce, something the banks need for more business i have written about how it made no sens

fact that britain, which i remember 18 months ago, seeing theresa may in the white house with donald trump talking about doing a trade deal in talking about doing a trade deal in talking about post brexit and being friend of the line, the fact that we are i'iow of the line, the fact that we are now left complaining and that we are collateral in something aimed at a country on the other side of the world does not say much for our standing. no, the bases on what he is doing, is national security to get around the w t 0 rule. is doing, is national security to get around the w t 0 rule. that's an interesting line thejustin trudeau in canada has taken real offence and called it an affront to canadians who served alongside americans and it's actually that he came out quite strongly tonight on the issue. it's all part of the way he did get it through in terms of legislation and the white house using it as a measure, but actually language has offended lots of people. there will still be appeals to the wto that got it to stop it from happening. yes but if you view it as the political when it has to

you were either with trump or not. trump skeptics were not getting much attention from the left or right as a result. that has not changed much in the past year. the partisan lines are drawn as cleanly as strongly as before. john: even with the decline of breitbart? based on traffic statistics and other things, do you think it is a central node as it was in 2016? it took place as what you normally ascribed to the center-right publication, the national review, do you think that has changed in the wake of the election? robert: intense competition within media, we see a stronger demand for spots in media. one of the factors that led to breitbart's success during the election was that they carved out a very strongly early pro-donald trump position that foxnews was not able or willing to make up that point. what we see in the changing prominence was that breitbart was sucking a lot of attention that foxnews otherwise would have gotten. isce the election, foxnews not conflicted about where their loyalties lie. they are not w

trump: hopefully we will have a meeting on the 12th. it is going along really well. i want it to be meaningful. it does not mean it gets all done in one meeting. maybe you have a second or third. maybe we will have none. but it is in good hands. that i can tell you. nick: whether the two sides even agree on what is meant by denuclearization is unclear, but it does look increasingly likely that air force one will soon be on a flight path to singapore. nick bryant, bbc news, new york. jane: for more on today's developments, i spoke short time ago to the bbc state department correspondent barbara plett-usher, who is in new york. barbara, it looks like it is going very well, but they won't guarantee the date. how close are we to the june 12 deadline? barbara: mr. pompeo was asked if the summit would go ahead on that date, and he said he didn't know, but he indicated they are closer to that kind of goal. he said there had been real progress in the last 72 hours to create the conditions for a successful summit, and he defined that by saying that would be the ability of kim

the independent pictures a defiant looking donald trump,and says brussels will retaliate. the i also claims a trade war is on the cards with the eu, canada and mexico which have all been hit with huge levies. the daily telegraph has a story about a new breakthrough blood test that can detect ten types of cancer several years before a person falls ill. the daily express features the story of a terminally ill nurse thanking those who are paying for life extending treatment, which she claims wasn't available to her on the nhs. the metro raises the question of the "special relationship" between the uk and us following the tariffs. and the guardian reports the us are pushing its allies to the brink. so many of the front pages are leading with the us pressing ahead with plans to impose tariffs. i suppose we should start here, here it is. world trade war looms as trump hits allies with tariffs, but you wonder who winds, because this retaliatory tariff is introduced. that's the biggest fear now, is what's going to come next. the language is all about something we've heard suggesti

with regards to the united states relation to would you president trump was called you quote animal house at you have a nickname for the u.s. president. this is not my language so i came up through a similar language this is he's alone to prevent theme can be a very. you know in principle but what do you think he is or two or three wanted to prevent or to give birth. and you can actually watch the full interview with the syrian president there throughout the day here in r.t. it's also available for you at our website at r.t. dot com. now the u.s. brand of cosmetics mack is under fire after releasing its utah rule for muslim clients and what make up to wear during ramadan apparently it is better to do it before the traditional priest sunrise meal. i can barely open my eyes were mac comes out was glamorous look what mike think. is versus what it actually looks like. no thinking back i'll stick with my nature traumatize folks look at your own soap or. this would have been great for any stop or to look for a need me couple it's great that max medics want to diversify their marketing but come

i think president trump has been outstanding. he's one of the presidents that we have that actually keeps his promises on the campaign trail. and i'm proud to stand with the president and not deride him publicly. if i disagree with the president, i will do so in a respectful fashion. >> thank you. you've gone over time enough that we don't have time for the final wrapup question. earlier we mentioned that governor romney gained ballot by gaining signatures. he also got the ballot by the republican convention process. it's been an enlightening hour with our candidates. they are candidates for the republican u.s. senate primary election on june 26th. thank you both for participating. and for your desire to serve in public office. we celebrate that and we wish you both success. thanks also for the panelist for their contribution. a special thanks for the efforts of scott howell and thomas wright, co-chairs of the utah debate commission board. we appreciate the many hours they spend leading the commission and working to bring utah vo

trump, for restoring both. tweeting karma is a bitch, known for loading racial commentary. >> the white guy is not welcome at the multicultural picnic. >> this attack on barack and michelle obama. asked why he pardoned d'souza, he said i never met him. i called him last night, first time i spoke to him. i'm pardoning you. nobody asked me to do it. i read the newspapers, i saw him on television. former stars of the tv show "the apprentice" including rob blagojevich. >> governor, i have great respect for you. i have great respect for your tenacity and you don't give up. rod, you are fired. >> reporter: convicted of charges for attempted to sell obama's former senate seat and style icon, martha stewart who lied to federal prosecutors. >> we are going to make a meatloaf sandwich. >> she's no fan of the president, once giving him the middle finger in this instagram photo, but hosted her version of "the apprentice." >> it really, really bothered me that you talked about quitting. i don't think i have ever quit a job.

and you think about the whole president trump and then candidate or precandidate trump he was born in kenya birther nonsense, i think that race took a batterings. i don't think they have been this bad in quite a while in obama's presidency. he set up the economy from president trump to continue unleashing the lines. >> i would not necessarily agree with the best set up. >> i can't believe they underestimated how much people didn't trust hillary clinton. and to say they were blind sided. people like that spent too much time in the ideological bubble. i didn't know they would come out and vote for donald trump. and i knew they would not stay and vote for hillary clinton. they couldn't vote for someone who lied repeatedly. you don't want to vote for someone who put a server in the back room closest and thought it was a good idea. people wanted to hold on for more of the money. i knew they were not inspired by the former administration. and it is hard for president obama who looks at a guy different than him in experience and delivery and find out what the complete rejection. can they vie

for them the reality is whatever trump says it is. i don't understand the logic of this contradiction he keeps demonstrating. if you have already got the 25 or 30% what is the logic between brazingly lying and distributing falsehoods when you are not lying. >> obviously the whole spygate thing is another one. and he's not helped by -- >> that goes to the conspiracy theory of paranoia. >> it does. but it's -- you have like two members of congress that pushed back on it. here. take a listen. >> there is no evidence to support any allegation that the fbi or any intelligence agency placed a spy in the trump campaign. >> when the president says spygate, that's not a -- there was no spy inserted into the campaign. have you seen any evidence of that? >> i have not. that's an espionage term. that's not a law enforcement term. >> interestingly enough, rudy giuliani attacked trey gouty today. he said the following, he is is drinking the cool aid and he adds i don't know what he did with a benghazi, he screwed that up. i don't know what he was d

president trump drew a line. that is simply we live in the greatest country of history of mankind, it is time to stop the leftist move. and be thankful for who we are. i am thankful that we are having this conversation. we would not have this if hillary clinton had been in office. we are doing right thing, we will go the our young men. the most important thing, our responsibility as americans to make sure the next generation has more hope, faith and believe and tune in our country -- opportunity in the country than previous one. our generation has fallen short. liz: kaepernick's grievance said it was an organizing force in collusion against him because of the president's relationship with various nfl owners, many have backed president trump, and jerry jones deposition, saying this a strong issue for me. tell everyone you cannot win this one, your reacted to this? >> this problem we have we teach our kids, he has no clue about the free market. people value or -- when people don't like you, american people dislike

and literally everybody else has been begging donald trump not to go there. people in his own party, the lobbyists, because they fear the tariffs will have the effect of tax hikes. hurting too many manufacturers. helena: sophie, thank you very much. over to you, as italy removes some uncertainty for now. brent: a little bit of progress to report. we are going to italy, the right wing league and the five-star movement say they have reached a deal to form a new government. it will be led by a law professor, who could be sworn in as early as tomorrow. it will be his second shot at becoming prime minister. lastly, he returned his mandate to the government after the president rejected his proposed economics minister. ok, for more on that, there we go. we will go to philip, a journalist in rome who is covering the story tonight. good to see you. does this mean the end of the crisis is near? >> it does seem that way. it has b been a nailbiter for 88 days w with moments of real draa in the conflict between the two parties who won the elelection d ththe presidentnt's

the truth is a big reason donald trump has introduced these new metal ta riffs trump has introduced these new metal tariffs is to satisfy his supporters. they may not have the impact onjobs supporters. they may not have the impact on jobs he says it will, but has risked a dangerous economic escalation with this country's biggest trading partners. ona micro on a micro level some household goods made of steel or aluminium could become more expensive for the american consumer affairs retaliation from europe, then some of those items we talked about in that report, like genes, could become more expensive in the uk. at the other end there are now people who are worried about much broader economic ramifications. it's not something it appears that worries donald trump, who said in a recent tweet, when a country like the usa is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every cut other country it does business with, trade wars are good and easy to win. aleem maqbool, thank you. let's speak to our business editor, simonjack, who's in manchester. what effect are these tariffs likely to

president donald trump that will be the most welcome outcome for north korea. said north korea must get relief from sanctions and quickly. it is absolutely obvious that starting any discussion of the nuclear problem and all other programs on the korean peninsula they cannot be complete without repealing all sanctions on north korea how that will go ahead will be a question of the skill of the negotiators but it cannot be done in one sitting u.s. officials based in seoul have been in near daily discussions with their north korean counterparts at the truce village apartment john that's in the demilitarized zone separating the two koreas how much progress has been made is unknown or whether north korea's stated commitment to denuclearization comes with a specific timetable and a process for verification that's acceptable to the u.s. i think north korea wants to strachan this process of democratization for as long as possible the very i can now you magine them agreeing to a near term timetable line to completely dismantle their nuclear weapons but sensing a possibl
