this very interesting world is possible but i believe that kim jong un fully realizes the great economic potential of north korea and will do nothing to interfere or end it he also knows that i am with him and does not want to make break his promise to me deal will happen this has to be enormously frustrating to the north korean leader who wants to hear action not optimism from the american president time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back. down and out and disillusioned the south africans are out on the streets ahead of the coming election more in that state. however and welcome to another look at the international full cost i got some clout spilling in cross the inside of the mets right now pushing us through the law

hello welcome to the program i'm adrian finnegan once again kim jong un has put the u.s. and its neighbors on high alert it happened after japanese and south korean defense systems detected projectiles being launched from north korea critics say that kim is using his military complex to send a political message just a week after he traveled to beat president bush to be a putin in russia that actions adding to already mounting tension after trump and kim's failure to reach an agreement at the summit in hanoi in february but south korea's quickly asked dion gang to restrain itself a spokeswoman for the presidential palace said that it urged the north to stop action that intensifies military tension on the korean peninsula she also said the launches go against an into military agreement and north korea is expected to actively join efforts towards the fast resumption of denuclearization talks well in less than two years president trump and kim jong un's relationship went from name

calling to holding two historic summits it all began when trump accepted an invitation from kim while holding talks with seoul. secretary of state mike compare visited pyongyang soon after to set the ground rules for a trump kim meeting a month later south and north korean leaders held a historic meeting which ended in an agreement to denuclearize the peninsula in may that year pompei i visited kim again returning to the us with three americans who've been detained in north korea trump then announced that they'd meet in singapore after a brisk exchanges between the leaders the first historic summit was finally held on june twelfth and both men signed a denuclearization commitment agreement kim began to dismantle rocket launching sites although he was in the blige to disarm in february both leaders met again it will became known as the hanoi summit kim's nuclear weapons were top of the agenda however that event was cut short ending without
2:24 am
a deal. joining us for today's discussion our guests via skype from tucson robert kelly professor of international relations at national university and from beijing china political analyst gentlemen welcome to you both robert let's start with you professor what is north korea up to here i think this is probably a signal to the united states to come back to the table negotiate it's pretty unique in north korea's experienced and go shooter donald trump and sort of just get up and walk out of the room the north koreans are accustomed to that kind of behavior and they usually get deference are they hijacked or stunned and i think when trump kind of sent a message in the north koreans are sort of pushing back the way they normally do i do think kim jong un wants a deal they are genuinely open to something with the americans and this is a way to sort of needle the americans a little bit come back and renegotiate. do you agree with that this was essentially
2:25 am
about concentrating minds in washington. well it might be about concentrating minds and trying to get some attention but there's a number of other things that are in play kim is desperate for a security. agreement a cover that will guarantee his his rule and his country and that means either the u.s. or and or a combination of russia and china but at this point we're in a very very difficult position because quite frankly trump has painted himself into a corner where he says he's not going to give any money or make any concessions until there's complete the nuclear ization and it's impossible for kim to give up his nukes was it's the only thing that he has as a bargaining chip so while it may gain attention it's not necessarily going to be very productive it's surely going to ratchet things up obviously south korea is in between and that's the unfortunate part about this so i know it was was there any significance in the timing of saturday's projectile mortgage
2:26 am
yes i mean no i don't think it's a coincidence that a few hours prior to that there was an announcement that ten million north koreans were in essence starving and that this had been the worst crop harvest in quite some time so you know this is a good way of changing the narrative for kim he's both sending a message at least to a lot of commentators out there they believe that he's sending a message but i think you can also interpret it he's just trying to change the narrative instead of talking about ten million people being hungry now the headlines read projectiles thrown into the sea. you say that the north once a deal of sorts to what extent is trump missing this up is that is there a certain arrogance play here. yeah i do think the north koreans want to do you right i've actually argued this in my writing i think kim jong un is different than this father his father really did run the economy in the country into the ground
2:27 am
and sort of had very mixed feelings at best about dealing with the outside world in the sun grants on the third kim now seems generally more interested right he went to singapore which is sort of extraordinary he wears banker suits and stuff like that i mean that kim this campaign has sent a bunch of signals to us in the west broadly speaking that he wants some kind of deal right i mean he's trying to talk the chinese the russians the south koreans and so on so i think there's some space now i agree the north koreans are going to go to zero they're not going to completely denuclearize right they've spent fifty years developing these weapons to have several dozen warheads now they're not going to give them all up but they might be willing to give up some right and the real question here is will the americans come for the deal that the north koreans find acceptable to maybe give up i don't know ten or twenty or thirty or something like that and this is where i think the trump administration is really sort of dropped the balls of the trouble ministration just hasn't come up with a package the north koreans find very attractive and that they see demand everything complete denuclearization ops front in exchange for these sort of vague
2:28 am
security guarantees and certain economic aid packages and stuff like that and that's just that's just not enough and the analyst community has been flagging this for a year and a half now and the trump people don't listen to us i suppose but i think a lot of people don't actually think the north koreans are going to come around until trump gives more and he seems loath to do so but when you talk about moral road i mean with what is it what what would a deal look like. should the denuclearization process go both ways as far as the north is concerned i talked about that arrogance is this sort of arrogance of the u.s. in the u.s. has this assumption that north korea should just borrow to the u.s. is demands without offering at least some sort of military concessions in return. yeah and i think that's really the problem right in the trump administration's approach to this is ben basically you know our way or the highway right would sort of see what the what the trump people and before them called c.v. id complete verifiable year reversible disarmament which is to say that north koreans would give up everything not just the nuclear weapons and the warheads but
2:29 am
the physical facilities the human capital the whole bit i mean maybe even the uranium mines i mean it's just that it's asking for everything for the whole show on the north koreans are pretty smart right there can be they did they're not going to give something for nothing and the more you ask the more they're going to demand in return and the trauma going to stray she needs to be sort of imaginative here the north koreans are going to want a lot obviously they're going to want sanctions relief they're probably going to want to huge aid package they'd probably like to see a restructuring of the force posture of the u.s. and south korea of the south korean military and they want to peace treaty there are lots and lots of things north koreans want and then the moon administration to its credit has at least flirted with some of this but the south korean president but the drum administration is really only offered sanctions relief and that's just not enough for the regime security value of nuclear weapons it's just it's just not enough to chum people got to come up with more or we're going to have to learn to live with north korea as a nuclear weapon state by what sort of deal would china want to say what would be acceptable preferable as far as china is concerned. china takes
2:30 am
a slightly longer view they're looking at this as a you know over years that you go from phase one two and three and that eventually that north korea north korea feels comfortable enough for giving up its nuclear arms i don't know if that's possible i mean let's not put all of the arrogance on one side i'm no fan of trump but on the other hand you have young kim who is who state is in fact under u.n. sanctions who has successfully met with three of the world's top leaders in the last year and it's you know the idea that somehow north korea will dictate that the u.s. will drop its nuclear weapons and umbrella over the eastern asia is a bit much so basically you have two individuals here who are very stubborn they believe that they should have their own way and they're in positions where it is almost impossible to strike a deal now enter
2:31 am
a entering in with china and russia it is possible that china and russia could go ahead by offering a security guarantee either one or both of them and thereby start the process without the u.s. there would have to be some triangulation in the sense that the u.s. would have to declare peace and then i think quite frankly donald trump would be relieved if this was off his plate and he can say he successfully got us i mean russia and china to do his dirty work for him ross a wry smile for me they were a bit icy. yeah i think that's the thing that's be that kind of cynicism about which i'm quite honestly is well earned i think the president has proven himself at best an erratic counterparty throughout this entire thing i think the president's primary interest is domestic political which is to say he wants a win you want the perception of a victory on something that's important so we can use that at home to change the subject from mueller investigation he can sort of manipulated as
2:32 am
a tool in the presidential election last year we know that he's strong arm the japanese prime minister shinzo abi and the nominating him for a nobel prize right i mean and this is i think one of the reasons why this things has really worked very well is that balance from just isn't really that personally committed to it right he's doing it for opportunistic reasons because he doesn't like barack obama for example and things like that i mean it's it's really sort of shallow and that's why the president didn't write very very well for the two summits that's why he didn't really have anything in his back pocket ready to go on camera checked in c.v. id as everybody thought he would at hanoi i mean the americans have to spend just just haven't really brought their full game to this thing in the last year does it matter do you think either way to trump voters whether whether the president manages to negotiate a deal or not whether he succeeds or fails i mean it's still a win win situation for him isn't it. yeah and the president's voters have some almost like a cult like attachment to him right i mean he said he could shoot someone in fifth avenue and it would make any difference i mean so maybe it doesn't make any difference and if that's true then i would imagine the president will drop this
2:33 am
pretty soon right but what's i mean the point is that he's just not going to put the work into this that's necessary to bring this deal over the line if you think about sort of like big thing like big major presidential knishes in the united states for big foreign policy changes like. jimmy carter in camp david in the seventy's or none george w. bush sold the iraq war to the american public it took a really long time and it took a lot of president's effort and commitment and bureaucratic coalition building and stuff like that and that just hasn't done any of that for the reversal the relationship with an orwellian tyranny right i mean a child is going to change the relationship we have in north korea to sort of turn it upside down and he's got to build a coalition for he's got to make an argument for it to the bureaucracy to the defense department congress the analysts the public and he just hasn't done that and that's one of the reasons why this thing seems so so flimsy because trump just hasn't put in the effort quite honestly i know i will question gee if we've got a third guest to bring in just a moment but i just want to ask you going back to what you were saying a few moments ago about presidents president putin what happened two weeks ago
2:34 am
between kim and putin what have a putin said to kim and bolton to him. no i don't i don't think side i mean putin is his own. animal as they say but i don't think he's trying to stir the pot with north korea it's a dangerous game for him as well i think all the powers are pretty united in doing this but having said that i mean putin has been fairly dogmatic about trying to take down the existing international order ever since he gave a speech at the munich security council many years ago indicating that he felt russia have been betrayed in its treatment and in its break up after us as our promises have been made and broken this type of thing but i would add one more thing to my colleagues statement and that is it's almost impossible for anyone to rely on trump he he terus up treaties with abandon you know he tweets it out and
2:35 am
this type of thing and because it's all about politics you can't be assured that he will follow through a treaty and this is what canada and mexico are finding out they signed the new nafta only to find out that the other restrictions and tariffs were going to remain in place so he doesn't carry a high amount of credibility it's really difficult to see that he'll be able to get anything done on the basis that that's pretty advanced of course than ordinary seanie of research and research from sociology a multi korea at leeds university agency also authored several books on korea could tell you this. you missed the beginning of the discussion of the moment we're talking about president trump with an eye on reelection to what extent do you think it's in trump's interest to let the north korea situation go south for a while perhaps picking up on it at some point near to the election. it is so hard to predict the irony is that in there in cliche ville the north koreans are
2:36 am
always cold unpredictable and i would say not a bit of it they calculate every move very catholic so they chose to fire these projectiles they chose to fire not the biggest projectiles they have the one who is unpredictable as it has been said already is donald trump who knows what level of interest he will sustain in this but the trouble is the the that the firing by north korea today is a wake up call kim jong un is reminding us and i think we can all agree with him on this that the situation on the peninsula is now unstable they haue neuer debacles the second summit was clearly dead before i want to go into that in detail impose more times but it clearly didn't work nobody got what they wanted and somebody now means to make some sort of a move to bring people back to the table again we could then discuss and what form so i really hope it will get trumped attention and i hope he will not react negatively he seems to think he has
2:37 am
a personal relationship with kim jong un one might feel there's something a little bit delusional about this bromance or at least insubstantial but i'm kind of glad he feels that was otherwise i'd be worried we've got to twenty seventeen and fire and fury and little rocket man i'm not sure that we really must not get back to there again even though the new the north has demanded that the microamp a.o. secretary of state be removed from any nuclear negotiations what's kim's problem with pump a zero. i think the particular again it's hard to know but i think the particular thing that may have riled them is that on some he's usually i think a fairly smooth t.v. all right but he does get so the slightly and trapped into calling north korea a tyranny which of course subjectively it is but if you engage in diplomacy you may be a voice like that of course this is a and then allowable demand by north korea you do not tell the other country your interlocutor who may or may not represent somebody holds the office of secretary of
2:38 am
state you would expect them to sit down that i think they can find ways past that if they are minded to the point is that everybody is a bit bad tempered the moment particularly north korea. it's very worrying for south korea to present moon j and has been working very hard to be a mediator i mean it was he who brought them together to make this all possible last year and now kim jong un is dissing him for medals for mediation which i must say seems extremely uncommon somebody needs to find a positive way forward out of this otherwise i fair where it will go. robert kerry is a third summit possible given all this that's going on. yeah i think so i think the president still is hoping for some kind of deal some kind of victory you know get his nobel prize or something like that he has invested a fair amount of effort in this you know less recently but he has put in some right what does he have to lose he's not going to prepare for the way he didn't prepare for the last two it doesn't make any difference amy just gets on
2:39 am
a plane and flies to wherever it is and i think can i do genuinely think that cam is looking for a deal also and he does keep trying and he wants a deal on his own terms but i do think he's at least open to it in a way that his father wasn't so i would imagine there will be a third summit but i would imagine a wall so be small beer in the way that the last two are in overturned some kind of vague joint statement but unless the americans come forward with something a lot more substantial an exchange for fully verifiable disarmament the north koreans are going to ball do you have any sympathy robot from north korea i mean they seem to been doing all of the running i mean at least they seem. to know more genuine genuinely interested in doing a deal with the americans to stage. i would say sympathy i can understand why the north koreans rejected the deal that trump offered them which is basically give up everything you have in exchange for big security guarantees and some aid packages in the trump tower and that kind of stuff i mean trump talking about condos i mean you know i mean if you're the north koreans are going to take that seriously no of
2:40 am
course you're not right you're mr rounded by countries that don't like you right many of which would like to see you eliminated from the system altogether a nuclear weapons are just simply there there are great to turn against the sort of local security threats and nothing trumps but on the table comes even close that's not to say the north koreans made a good deal to us to the americans they didn't either right and if you look at the two deals often in hanoi they're both ridiculous right and that's why you may remember third deal maybe we should try something smaller something a little bit more dual because at hanoi it was so obvious that the sides are very far apart i doubt does donald trump listen to a regional power as in the advice that they offer about power a big power like china as he appears to be with with israel and saudi arabia in the middle of the middle east he takes the advice of coming from those countries over and above the people in his own government departments sometime i mean is he listening to the what shinzo of japan says and south korea. you know if he isn't he's listening more closely the putin as we found out in the
2:41 am
last day or so which is a strange idea given that his administration is a den of fide and was the culprit in the last elections but this idea that there's going to be a third summit i find it hard to believe the north koreans were humiliated kim was personally humiliated by trump walking out of those meetings there would have to be a fairly solid deal on the table and it would just be a signing this is also something that is a concern of beijing and they're not letting she go to the mar-a lago without something in concrete you never know if trump's going to pull something off the last moment but that would not be received well and this goes to this issue that you just really don't know how to deal with trump he's not trustworthy he's not somebody who believes in the process he believes in the art of the deal which is the moment he's completely transactional so very very difficult to see this going forward a divorce to ca so what does all of this mean for japan will meet with kim as he
2:42 am
said that he wants to and would that help or hinder the situation i think he might and i think that if it happened it would help i mean we are an aquatic curious world now given that the the u.s. and north korea have had a couple of summits or it's never happened before and anything is possible and kim jong un who i think played the whole thing very skillfully last year i'm not so sure about this. what he has done is is made himself a reputable figure on the international stage and of a having been very hard line and still basically being very hard line not. but he might actually be left out he's the last one what kim jong un has met xi jinping four times south korean president and three times putin twice sorry yes that would trump twice putin wants the old one out of it hasn't had the meeting yet and in
2:43 am
theory have it's been on the table a long time if north korea and japan ever want to establish diplomatic relations japan would pay compensation for its colonial rule level of career in the first part of the last century and billions of dollars that come kim's way and it won't be easy there's a very specific issue about historic abductions that's never been solved but i you know along the way kim jong un might play of the japan card and that will put that in a very interesting position he has he keeps reiterating that he would do it we'll have to see robert what's your view on that and to penny i do i think that cam has nothing to lose by meeting with these other characters right in the region one thing that's why he's sort of shopping around looking for a deal he's got the nuclear weapon so why not try again i think that you know again he's different than us father right go on meet the japanese next right you can play these various players against rather china and japan and russia and the united states right all of them jockeying for influence or you get them competing and then you get better deals from all of them ideally right and this is something that the
2:44 am
first kim kim il sung was expert at during the cold war right and i think the nuclear weapons give kim jong un the turn kim space to basically play the countries around them around him off against each other and see what kind of deals come out from the next and if he doesn't get anything then he just hunkers down and he just waits with his nuclear weapons until all of us adjust to that reality and i take it in beijing how is this going to play out do you think are we going to see a deal any time soon in trump's first of the remaining days of his first term whether of course he's reelected or not remains to be seen but i'll be going to see a deal sometime in the future. no i don't think so not not with this particular cast of characters and i don't really think that a meeting with even if it is had will have any bearing fruit the idea of a who is a a nationalist to a revisionist who is trying to resurrect the glory of. world war two saying doing all of these things changing the constitution so he can have an army
2:45 am
so that he can pay billions of dollars and war reparatory reparations when they're not even willing to say that they're truly sorry for what they did to comfort women find that little bit hard to believe gentlemen there i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it many thanks to all of you robert kelly a divorce the casa and i tag and as always thank you for watching don't forget you can see the program again at any time just by going to well website at al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to a facebook page at facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter i handle that a.j. inside story from be a free for the good and the whole team here at doha thanks for being with us we'll see you again by foot.

enemies of the muslim brotherhood who are in cahoots with hamas but the reason limit to what the can do because hamas seems spiralis to suppress what the slimy jihad has been doing is going to some breaking news out of algeria now we're getting reports that the youngest brother the former president abdelaziz bouteflika has been arrested side but to flee had been algeria has de facto ruler since his brother suffered a stroke back in twenty thirteen also to a beautifully because form intelligence chiefs have also been taken into custody well weeks of protests forced the ailing longtime president to resign last month after he attempted to run for a fifth term but demonstrations continued to test as want to put to sleep her regime dismantled and inside is prevented from holding top jobs. going to join on set now by muhammad karachi is a media studies professor university here in doha i'm ahmed how significant then is this move by the algerian military and why are they doing it now this is really
2:55 am
important because the people who did the protesters you know they are waiting for such a move and it has many significance because first of all this is the. of the gates. by the people by the algerians and when you said that you had. to say this is big news in nigeria this is it means that you know demand of court action of the part of the financial problems that has been having for the twenty the last twenty years you know the guy is that is six and a custody and on top of that these three men. all of them day tried to oust him again santa before that that is ignition off preceded that which they met and they wanted to have a coup against him again and they wanted. to get him but you know
2:56 am
as the army chief yes yes he didn't know who it's like you know he's facing what is going on these days so you know this has a big significance because it means that the that is is going to bet but it is a big but you know. you have to to have a new republic you know it's not to you know putting people in jay that's fine this is a good job but you know. to have seven and eight played by the. gates and the transitional team who is going to prepare the next election let's just talk about side of the car for a minute longer i mean he's the younger brother the former president he is an extremely close presidential adviser but of course many accuse him of being the de facto ruler in the ringleader of the inner circle which is the point that you are making mohammed so what impact will his arrest have. well you know because the guy he was running the country you know de facto since two thousand and thirteen seized
2:57 am
the support of that so you know what happened you know to algeria for the last decades. or the response able for the what was going on if say that which africa so you know you know putting team in jail or. you know putting come on should i guess it means a lot it means that you know he has a duty to point where you know. he but if you put in front of the just so so is this move being considered as as more of the army chief cleaning house or is he finally listening to the protesters no no no it is something that's on it he. has problems with the team. and you say that which actually occurred and as i told you you know they want that before that is ignition of which if you know by like you're one of my five who is the goal you know they wanted to get that out of him again so you know he's like it's kind of three that you know now i'm going to put you're in
2:58 am
jail i'm going to know to. you you're not going to be in front of the judge so what happens next muhammad i mean do we expect these men to be tried and held accountable just be a show trial to perhaps appease the protesters but not really deliver justice. well this is very hard to say because some of some people say that it's like this is you know because we need to we need how to folks we need to move into and second the department and. on the other side you know i think you know they are going to be and this is the has very significant meaning you know. the people and the protesters but as i said you know the protests it's one want more do you want you know to go through a very democracy transition. to three names like dr ben beach or doctor me how models and so on you know to to get over and to to run the
2:59 am
transition and but for the time being. who seemed that he said imminent of. which if you. do we you know we are going to know where and so far what the protest says how about chief it is only because it does ignition of which if not more and the people need to more it's not having a president and he was almost out you know he was eighty two years old he was very sick they want to know at real change ok now mccurry thank you very much indeed the outside thank you thank you. now the syrian government just stepped up airstrikes on rebel held province killing at least twenty two people heavy shelling forced evacuation of the city's university on thursday schools and residential neighborhoods in the town of consider were hit in what the u.n. described as the worst battle bombing campaign in fifteen months it libya's designated a deescalation zone under an agreement between russia and turkey where high

government is the project director for iraq syria and lebanon with the international crisis group he says turkey fears a major refugee crisis if the situation gets worse. you see in some of the really radical factions and he. actually launching missiles at russian air bases mainly him so it's coming from both sides it's. quite difficult to tell if this is sort of a self ignited escalation or if there's a larger plan behind it from either side any major offensive would cause it we were . really crisis fortunately in particular and that's why the turks have made it very clear to russia that they don't want that to happen in any circumstances and they have been in some progress in terms of having she had the troops all right according to the patrols along the seas.
