and while moscow also wants to see ten things. decrease here on the peninsula but really it's about trying to have influence once again in the region. and you know in an effort to have that influence chase and we have these reports coming in today that last profits apparently raised the issue of international sanctions against north korea while and today what is the message there from moscow. russia wants north korea open for business russia has always had economic interests with north korea whether it be sharing ports cold trade other mineral resources russia once the developments far east and having the better economic relations with north korea is central to that so right laughter all has reportedly said today in pyongyang that peace on the peninsula denuclearization can't be accomplished without sanctions being lifted but really i think that just reflects moscow's own economic interests in north korea and we have to mention of course this visit comes amid a flurry of diplomacy that is centering on these plans for the kim jong

let's bring indeed obvious emily sure what has been at one of the protests in russia's capital moscow and really good to see you let's go back to say what was the the atmosphere there at the protests today. well the atmosphere i would say was was tense from the beginning even as the demonstrators assembled on pushkin square in the center of moscow there were actually putin supporters waiting for them who basically started a shouting match with them they were shouting for putin and the demonstrators assembling there were shouting for russia without putin and were shouting against putin and soon after that the arrests started there were groups of riot police out in force basically grabbing people out of the crowd and putting them into police vans now there was some defiance among the protesters as well after the police cleared the square some of them kind of returned to the square and kept assembling around the pushkin monument on the on the center at the center of the square as police kept arresting them as well now police here say that three hundred people were arrested just in moscow

a new foreign minister moscow's taking a tougher approach with moscow than its predecessor and in spite of seeing eye to eye with russia on keeping the iran nuclear deal alive was also had plenty to criticise. german russian relations have long been fraught that tension was on display during the german foreign minister's visit to moscow i called ma slater wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier and met his counterpart sergey lavrov their encounter was far from warm given the west's recent accusations that russia is behind the nerve agent attack on a former russian double agent and a cyber attack on the german foreign office. i believe that an open and honest dialogue is the key to a solid partnership we have to be able to figure out if we are still playing by the same rules i think. germany and russia aren't at odds on all fronts both want to salvage the nuclear deal with iran fearing the potential instability its collapse could bring. the agreement is vital for regional stability stopping the special most destruction it's important to the signatures that deal with the situation we're

a time of tense relations between berlin and moscow germany has condemned russia's annexation of crimea of course and its military support for the government of syrian president bashar al assad as well but with both countries wanting to save the iran nuclear deal could this be enough for a new beginning. it's an extremely complex relationship friend enemy partner adversary. this man's action binds them together since u.s. president trump withdrew from the iran deal germany and russia have been sitting in the same boat both want to save the agreement moscow friendly politicians in germany view this as a time for a new beginning with russia. today there back in the game in the middle east there will be no issue that cannot be resolved without the russians this must guide us instead of saying they're not friendly to us. lately russia has not appeared at all
