i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. there is a palpable mix of hope and concern here in washington about the upcoming summit between donald trump and kim jong—un. even his critics accept the president's unconventional threats may have produced a breakthrough. the downside is that if this doesn't work, diplomacy will have nowhere else to go. the stated goal, says the white house, is "irreversible denuclearisation". but on what timescale? and how will it be verified? aware of the pitfalls, mr trump says he's prepared to abandon the talks if they aren't working. if i think it's a meeting that's not going to be fruitful, we're not going to go. if the meeting, when i'm there, is not fruitful, i will respectively leave the meeting and will continue what we're doing or whatever it is that will continue, but something will happen. lets speak to our north america editor, jon sopel. the stakes could not be any higher, but the president seemingly quite bullish. but as he think he can accomplish? it seems there are two phases do

hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. when you are president of the united states, you get to flick dandruff from the jacket of the president of france. i'm tempted to say there's something symbolic in that gesture — but maybe it was just a bit of fun. what is clear is that emanuel macron needs something from donald trump. translation: you consider the iranian deal, the one negotiated in 2015 with iran, is a bad deal. to have some control over their nuclear activity. we therefore wish from now on to work on a new deal with iran. it is a bad deal, it is a bad structure. it is falling down. it should never, ever have been made. i blame congress. i blame a lot of people for it. but it should have never been made. good to see you. i am slightly confused, because when president macron arrived in washington, he said there was no plan b. wejust heard him saying we're going to work ona heard him saying we're going to work on a new deal with iran. where are they with this? it is interesting you say that, that was a question mr m

hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. is it possible that donald trump is about to pull off a major diplomatic victory? or, is he about to get duped by a north korea regime that has promised denuclearisation before but never actually delivered? those questions have become pressing since news broke that his nominee for secretary of state mike pompeo secretly flew to pyongyang to meet kim jong un over easter weekend. the president could now meet kim as soon asjune though the location is diplomatically sensitive. here's the bbc‘s laura bicker in seoul. south korea never feels like a country still at war. instead, the young claim the streets after work and ignore any threat from their neighbour to the north. now after 65 years, this generation may have a chance at peace. but they can't do it without the help of the president of the united states. i like what donald trump's doing with this peace... i think rather than donald trump's doing it was kim jong—un's change of attitude that led to this. at a press conference with

. ♪ katty: you are watching "beyond 100 days" on pbs. there could be strikes on syria sooner or later. christian: in britain, theresa may is chairing a special cabinet meeting to look at british government options on this. meanwhile, in france, the french president says he has proof the assad regime used chemical weapons. u.s. generals are briefing the white house on military options. >> we are looking very seriously very closely at that whole situation. we will see what happens, folks. we will see what happens. christian: i'm in the lebanese capital beirut where just over

'beyond—one—hundred—days' hello and welcome — i'm katty kay in washington and clive myrie is in london. the united nations will meet to discuss the suspected chemical attack in syria. but honestly we all know the outcome of any such emergency meetings. western powers will denounce the horrific scenes, likely propose some form of sanction — which moscow will then veto. so far, so predictable... from london, to paris, to washington — global powers say president assad and his russian backers must be held to account. but if there's going to be action, it's unlikely to come from the un, and more likely to come from washington. here's our middle east editor, jeremy bowen — and you might find some of the images in his report distressing. most of the casualties in syria's war were attacked with bullets and high explosives. but chemical weapons have a special horror. this is the aftermath of what witnesses said was a chemical attack, as douma, a town just outside dozens of dead bodies with foam on their mouths, which can be a sign of a chemical attack. what happened looks likely to extrac
