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 their 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 intercom rian military agreement and north korea is expected to actively join efforts towards the first 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. sole u.s. secretary of state mike pompei of 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 off the brusque 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

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 jeff toobin 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 do you think they are genuinely open to something with the americans and this is a way to sort of needle the americans a little bit to get back in renegotiate. do you agree with that this was

essentially 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 is ation 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

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 could 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 it is a certain arrogance play here. yeah i do think the north koreans want to do 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 and sort of had very mixed feelings at best about dealing with the outside world and 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 camp 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 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 has really sort of dropped the balls of the trump ministration just hasn't come up with a package the north koreans find very attractive and that they see demand everything complete denuclearization opt front in exchange for these sort of vague

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 rabbit 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 us in the us has this assumption that north korea should just borrow to the us is to months without offering at least some sort of military concessions in return. yeah and i think that's really the problem right i mean the trauma 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 your reversible discernment which is to say that north koreans would give up everything not just the nuclear weapons and the warheads but

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 i mean 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 drama 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 trump you will 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 what to say what would be acceptable preferable as far as china is concerned. china takes a think

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

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 there oh but i see. 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 for mueller investigation he can sort of manipulated as

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 as a 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 run very very well for the two summits that's why he didn't really have anything in his back pocket ready to go and can reject and cv 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 the 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 of 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

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 a 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 numb 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 of 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 to you 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

between kim and putin whatever the 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 had 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

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 even false to cost than ordinary seanie of research and research and sociology a multi korea at leeds university aides 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 in the election. it is so hard to predict the irony is that in there in cliche ville the north koreans are

always cold unpredictable and i would say not a bit of it they calculate every move very catholic so they chose to file out of 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 the us but the trouble is the the 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 if i want to go into that in detail impose more times but it clearly didn't work nobody got what they wanted and somebody has to make some sort of a move to bring people back to the table again we could then discuss and walk form so i really hope it will get trump's attention and i hope he will not react negatively he seems to think he has

a personal relationship with kim jong un one might feel there's something a little bit delusional about this paramount's 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 mike pump a.o. secretary of state be removed from any nuclear negotiations what's kim's problem with pump. 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 entrapped into calling north korea a tyranny which of course subjectively it is but if you're engaging 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

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 particular 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 unkind somebody needs to find a positive way forward out of this otherwise i fair where it will go really 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

a plane and flies to wherever it is and i think can i do genuinely think that cam is looking for a deal also i mean 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 i don't 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 you're going to take that seriously no

of course you're not right you're misurata 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 that north koreans made a good deal to us to the americans they deny their right and if you look at the two deals often in hanoi they're both ridiculous right and that's why you know maybe we're going to third deal maybe we should try something smaller something a little bit more dual because it hanoi is so obvious that you sides are very far apart i doubt this 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 do 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

last day or so which is a strange idea given that his administration is a den of phaidon is 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 on 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 they're very very difficult to see this going forward they've been forced to cause what does all of this mean for japan

will meet with kim as he 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 that 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

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 of 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 can get them competing and then you get better deals from all of them ideally right and this is something that

the 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 mix and if he doesn't get anything then he just hunkers down 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 and whether of course he's reelected or not remains to be seen but we 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 i'm meeting with even if it is had will have any bearing fruit the idea of who is a a nationalist who a revisionist who's trying to resurrect the glory of. world war two saying doing all of these things changing the constitution so he can have an army

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 ida 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. in a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure there was sometimes we risk our

a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know it's that he tends to believe but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues. the people who believe that tell the real stories just mended to deliver in-depth generalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. for nine hundred forty six to nine hundred fifty eight the united states detonated dozens of atomic bombs in the marshall islands when the u.s. was carrying ready to clean up and leave at least nine hundred seventy s. picked the pit that had been left by one of the smaller atomic explosions and dumped a lot of cutrone and other radioactive waste into the pit the bottom of the dome it's permeable soil there was nowhere for her to wind it and therefore the

seawater is is inside the dome when this dome was built there was no factoring in sea level rises caused by climate change now every day when the tide rolls out radioactive isotopes from underneath the die roll out with it if it really were not just the marshall islands we're talking the whole smooth ocean. seven people are killed in airstrikes on rocket attacks between the israeli army and palestinian groups in the gaza strip. i robot is in and this is all dizzy a live from doha also coming up north korea

releases new images showing kim jong un overseeing tests of suspected weapons. an influential brother of all jamie as i was to the president is a rested as protesters keep up the pressure to get rid of the old guard. and bad news for gamers in iraq looking for a virtual escape while the country is banning a popular online game. day and night of israeli airstrikes in palestinian rocket attacks have left seven people dead. israeli warplanes attacked gaza with more than one hundred airstrikes and saturday evening six palestinians have been killed in gaza within twenty four hours including a pregnant mother and her fourteen month old child israeli attacks coincide with palestinian fighters firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel and israeli

man died in hospital and several injuries are reported will have a force that is joining us live from the israel gaza border how to just bring us up to date with what's been happening so far. but i can tell you anecdotally in this area just outside the gaza border fence the pace of events does seem to have slowed over the last hour or two but we still have heard intermittently the crunches of israeli air strikes inside gaza we can hear a helicopter overhead right now what the israeli army is saying is that four hundred fifty rockets in total have been fired out from inside gaza during the course of this latest escalation that some two hundred twenty targets inside gaza have been struck by the israeli military during that time it says some of those targets have included multi-story buildings which it says were housing the operations of hamas and islamic jihad of course among those buildings also housing

the turkish news agency the un and of dilute agency which has led to severe criticism coming in from turkey as well as that some tens of homes belonging to mid-level commanders of islamic jihad and hamas is military wings as well israel saying that they've been targeting weapons caches within those properties. also these really army is now saying that it can confirm that it did not carry out in a strike in which that pregnant mother and toddler were killed that was what the gaza health ministry said that there was a drone strike on a building which resulted in those deaths israel's military is saying it was actually. how mass missed directed fire and there has been confirmation of the first israeli civilian casualty from rocket fire since twenty fourteen a man a fifty eight year old man in the city of ashkelon whose home was the surrounding area of his home was struck by a rocket coming out from gaza these are the military also saying that it's

deploying an extra armored brigade to the area as well kyra we've seen situations like this before of course particularly back in april when there's been an escalation in the past there has been there have been attempts to try and rein those that escalation back in is there any indication that the similar sort of thing might happen this time. well yes i mean that is the prevailing sort of wisdom of the last few months that would suggest that's what's going to happen you heard an outgoing round just then or so this escalation is far from over at the moment it's worth saying that in april there were extra. there was an extra armored division deployed armored brigade deployed then as well and we did see a deescalation at that time it was the run up to the israeli elections so there was a lot of pressure on the israeli government in particular to try to come sit it's calm the situation down before that election and hear an impact from inside gaza

just now but at this but this time is also politically sensitive for the israelis as well because there is the israeli national day the day where they mark the creation of the state of israel in one hundred forty eight that's coming up in the coming few days as is in mid may the your vision song contest so that's an important international event in terms of israeli prestige so there are reasons to suppose that benjamin netanyahu doesn't want to see this get totally out of control at the same time and he's due to to lead a security cabinet meeting starting at one fifteen pm local time ten fifteen g.m.t. at the same time the israeli military is saying they expect several days worth of fighting at least and this is a major israeli attack going on the strikes on gaza that we've seen in the last twenty four hours there is always the prospect of the momentum of these sorts of events taking on their own course whatever the sides may want to see

happen in terms of the escalation howry thanks very much indeed all morning the body is coeditor of an online magazine specializing in middle eastern affairs he says israel is not doing its part to deescalate tension. the media context of the most recent escalation is that as part of the cease fire discussions the israelis had apparently committed not to use live ammunition and confronting march so we turned administrations this past friday and of course they did they killed one protester and wounded dozens of others including journalists and medics and this is in the broader context of israel not implementing a number of commitments that have made about easing the blockade which is now in its thirteenth year and has been deemed to be illegal under international law and i

do think that the pasadena organizations in gaza because of these coming events in israel feel that this gives them an opportunity to exercise leverage on israel to finally agree to the egyptian proposals for a long term truce with substantial easing of the blockade but on the other side of the ways and. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu may find it difficult to agree to those phones because he's also in the midst of coalition negotiations with extreme right wing parties who will of course oppose any type of compromise in this immediate context israel has repeatedly tried to water down the implementation of any informal or more formal formal agreements which have to be nothing more than a truce in exchange for a truce and for the palestinians of course a truce is meaningless unless it also includes very substantial relief of the

blockade and increased flow of goods and services into the gaza strip. pyongyang has released pictures of kim jong un overseeing rocket launches from north korea's east coast the country's leaders said he was satisfied with the tests on saturday and called on troops to stay on high alert south korea's president says he's concerned by the launches meanwhile u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that kim jong un doesn't want to break the promises made to him referring to commitments on denuclearization trump said 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 break his promise to me deal will happen on into the obama is a former state department deployed diplomat specializing in north korea and he says trump's focus on economic growth in north korea wouldn't be enough for it to give

up nuclear weapons. there is a belief that north korea desperately wants to bolster its economy and that if only it would get great economic aid from the united states it would completely denuclearize and the united states is certainly right that economic incentives do matter in some way to north korea especially partial sanctions relief but it certainly will not get north korea to completely give up its nuclear weapons the president said a deal or happen but i see no evidence that we are anywhere close to a nuclear deal with north korea north korea probably does not have the domestic political space to take any of the bold risks or maneuver maneuvers that would restart the diplomatic process and washington for its part has not been creative enough or flexible enough to really take advantage of this diplomatic process and get us closer to a deal it has always been the case in both the obama administration and the trump and ministration that with an issue this important and this high profile the white

house takes the lead and it sets a general policy direction and the state department really implements it drives diplomacy it comes up with ideas but the direction is at the white house level president trump and his subordinates have been on completely separate parallel tracks on north korea and it almost seems like they don't consult each other or accord innate their message and that's a huge difference from past administrations and that i think has a lot to do with the dysfunction we've seen in u.s. north korea diplomacy and it's very concerning. the youngest brother of all jury is ousted president is under arrest along with two former intelligence chiefs sorry the beautifully was the country's effective ruler after his brother of the disease suffered a stroke six years ago eighty two year old was forced out last month following weeks of mass protests against plans to run for the fifth time demonstrators

government intensifies attacks on the rebel held north west. and venezuela's opposition leader makes another bid for the support of the country's military. hello there were some cool weather digging its way across europe at the moment when the screaming down from the north and you can see the leading edge of that cold air that's just working its way now across the alps and towards parts of the mediterranean so that cold air digging all the way down towards parts of course and saladin area and within that we're now seeing a little area of low pressure develop so this will give us some very heavy rain and still some snow that over the alps as we head through the day on sunday on monday that system will just work its way.
