this usually provokes north korea. they usually see it as preparation for an act of war stopping state media last week they took directaim stopping state media last week they took direct aim at seoul, accusing them of doubledealing, talking piece, while taking part in these military exercises and recurring new high—tech weapons. there are busily angry that these drills are taking place and they believe that it will break the agreement reached between kim jong—un break the agreement reached between kimjong—un and break the agreement reached between kim jong—un and donald trump break the agreement reached between kimjong—un and donald trump —— they obviously believe. both in singapore and we understand between them when they met at the demilitarised zone between the two koreas last month. when it comes to other analysis on top of this, donald trump has said he is in no rush. it is also shrugging off these short—range ballistic missile tests. he said other countries test short—range missiles. but pyongya

south korea really wants peace it once engaged in towards north korea japan however is highly skeptical and they do a lot to keep this is status quo actually. now this is obviously very complicated a lot of history and a lot of present day trade tensions these export curbs could ripple all across global supply chains now do you see any potential at all for a resolution well i think it will only get worse i think there will be further escalations and last friday we've seen working double talks between the delegation of japan and south korea to solve things but what happened actually it made things only worse there was a really cold reception the japanese sides didn't even properly greet or bow bow down to words the south koreans in the end both sides didn't even agree what was discussed and what should be disclosed to the public and i see many friends and acquaintances in south korea actually individually boycotting japanese products and there's a lot of strong n.t. japan sentiment well that sounds like it's gotten some very emotional dimensions indeed but we're also coming to a time whe

south korea says north korea has launched 2 ballistic missiles off its east coast it's the 2nd such tests in a week now the missiles flew 250 kilometers into the japan see the south korean military joint chiefs of staff say they are monitoring the situation and case if additional launches and tests come at the united states struggles to reach a diplomatic agreement with north korea over its nuclear weapons program or we can get more on this from rob mcbride who's in seoul for us or rob what's been the reaction in south korea to these missile tests. that's right so the joint chiefs of staff here in south korea say that these 2 missiles are indeed similar to 2 missiles that were fired 6 days ago they traveled as you said there around 250 kilometers reaching an altitude of about 30 kilometers they are still analyzing the data from these launches the reaction has been fairly swift here we've heard from the japanese they said that the while the missiles didn't approach their territorial waters the japanese defense minister has said that this is deeply regrettable and that if this is discovered

donald trump has become the first sitting us president to enter north korea. in a moment broadcast around the world, he walked across the border into the north from south korea shortly after meeting kim jong—un. mr trump has now returned to the us as critics dismiss the occasion as political theatre. but the us president is claiming to have brought peace to the korean peninsula. this report from our correspondent nick bryant in seoul. "meet me at the dmz," said the president. his impromptu invitation on twitter to the north korean leader like a diplomatic form of online dating. donald trump was savouring this moment, a smile of satisfaction as his choreography came together, because the chance of this brief encounter had kim jong—un almost skipping down the steps. and from the lips of this brutal dictator came almost starry—eyed words of welcome, delivered in english by his translator. this place is where the armistice in the korean war was signed, the line that divides the north from the south — a threshold no american president has ever crossed. pres

why is it coming to the fore now what is that issue for south korea. we have to accept that there has been a significant change on the great political landscape 2 years ago we had a new president elect it wins in and one of his campaign promises was actually to revisit the agreement between japan and korea to address the issue called for women it was supposed to be final when the remark was signed in 2050 but the public opposition to this was quite significant the government currently in so it has taken a harder line of the issue and they have maintained that they will not see what dave received to be a turn by the minute ministers who are the more right wing tendencies not just over the issue of war time crimes but also over the issue of dual or a technician on the rocks between korea and japan that have been disputed by the 2 countries for quite some time all right robert capt let's talk about the economic implications of this dispute the us china trade war has already resulted in quite a lot of negative shocks for asian trade flows do you think this

south korea i think would be the country most affected. south korea has a president jay in who actually brought trump and kim jong un together moon is deeply anti american though and he's very pro north korean and that for presents a number of dilemmas to us and you notice that moon was not in the meeting between trump and kim right after that historic handshake and that's probably a good thing for us so trump also invited kim to visit us in the united states when the time is right what are your thoughts on the likelihood of this or that is this now creating another carrot for for kim to go after you know this is another carrot that we should not be giving to the north koreans until they have completely disarmed you know kim is one of the most horrific dictators on earth the last thing we should be doing is having him wandering around the white house especially if he's getting a 21 gun salute at a state dinner in the east room that would not be appropriate i think we're going to have to think rethink a number of our outreaches to kim becau

dangerous situation for south korea. north korea, for the world. i think the relationships that we develop has been so much to so many people. >> bill: it is my sense that -- that's a good thing, as he readily point out. it is my sense that chairman kim needs this meeting more than we do. the economic sanctions are struggling north korea to this point. i want to address such as for the sake of this long delay we have. that is question number one. number two, the point that tucker carlson had about the level of health that heat notice, being only a few feet away from chairman kim. had you notice that? >> first, i do think that chairman kim came back from illinois very badly damaged -- the summit broke up, and he had promised his people sanctions relief, and he got nothing. yes, he got a photo op with the president, but that's it. north korea is in serious economic straights. we need to make a trade deal with china. because we depend on them for the tough sanctions on north korea that affects our troops and security. other people around kim jong un,

because this is not for south korea's this is not based on the concerns about south korea's domestic are not because to me it is about the japanese domestic regime for export control if indeed south korean the companies are going to find other sources well that somewhat does south korea and the companies should decide on and that's a totally up to the south korean companies but when it comes to the export control regime that the japanese government minister has that is what does this happen he's government is going to look after so what will it take for the japanese government to roll to roll back the export restriction. there the console taishan mechanism is very much a linchpin for these 2 nations to push to continue having some ongoing economic and trade relationships especially about sensitive matters that could be put into do all use but one has to point out that out consultation mechanism has not been. working the design of which. urges these took these 2 countries to and so that's something that both come countries have to work on but the ball currently is on the court of the

and he says they want to deal with north korea unless the u.s. makes concessions. i think north korea is who willing to give up their nuclear program but we have to presume paroquet did. with the sanction reduction with non-aggression of graham agreement maybe peace treaty diplomatic normalization we have a lot of things that we can offer but nothing has been offered to north korea and their missile tests it's designed to demonstrate that they're willing to strike back at the if there are a cat or preemptive strike if they're educated they think they're constantly being threatened because american troops stationed in south korea are in japan in in guam so that part of the world days a very heavy on the by the united states and north korea is very unhappy about that and threaten the in terms of their security so we have to really sit down talk about mutual concessions. we have to give something to them by way of reducing. sanctions and canceling the joint military. cumber emerging their arms sales to south korea so these things would have to be coming together with

how does this further north korea ‘s aims? it is in breach of those resolutions, is for the arrangement with the lighted states, i think in the past two instances, where there have been short range missile launches, the us has downplayed them and suggested they're within the bounds of the handshake that they seem to have reached, of course, that is not written down so we don't really know the terms of it. in terms of how it advances north korean interest, a couple of things. it's a response to some extent to the announcement that the us has made and it is moving forward with the south koreans on these joint exercises. it is a way of keeping washington focused on north korea's desires in this negotiation and i think also a way of keeping focus on the deadline that chairman kim has set which is that he wants to see progress on talks by the end of the year otherwise i think the suggestion is they will re—evaluate everything. further clashes between police and protesters in hong kong, hours after more than a0 people were charged

he's joining us now live from seoul, south korea. will, put this trip into perspective for us. >> reporter: well, even though north korea waited more than 12 hours to tell its own people what the rest of the world already knew about that surprise meeting at the dmz, they celebrated it basically as a huge achievement for their leader, even despite the fact that now we're hearing that president trump might be willing to make an even bigger concession. >> president trump became the first sitting u.s. president to step foot on north korean soil, he did more than make history. kim telling trump through a translator, i never expected to meet you in this place. many experts call sunday's milestone a stunning propaganda victory for north korean leader, kim jong-un. trump seen on camera asking kim for the opportunity, lavishing praise on a man seen by many as authoritarian, even brutal, calling this moment a great honor. >> i was proud to step over the line. this could be a very historic moment. >> the state controlled newspaper plastering ph

of the issue as a problem between south korea and japan. >> in a practical sense, south korea needs a number of resources for its technology industry. if it is not able to talk to japan. does this open the door to other suppliers, potentially driving south korea into the arms of china economically? >> i think semi conductor manufacturers are looking at china, russia, whatever alternatives are available. one of the problems is there is no trusted supplier outside of japan. that is one reason why japan has had a virtual monopoly on supply of some of these chemicals and elements that are necessary for semi conductor manufacturing and south korea. >> would it be in the u.s. interest to inject itself into the situation, broker some agreement between two of its closest allies in east asia? anthe united states has interest in facilitating and in bounding the conflict between south korea and japan. it does not have interest putting itself between two allies. i think the trump administration has been late to the game in terms of addressing this downturn, as we have seen it evolve. now we have

that's the barrier that separates this country south korea from the dictatorship from north korea run by kim jong-un. we will have an interview in a few homosexuality. -- moments. the president invited us to come with him here to the most heavily defended border and we witnessed history. the president held a meeting with kim jong-un. the first american president to set foot in north korea. he walked with kim alone across the border. we stood a few feet away and walked back and held a press conference standing in the middle of the room. we were there. it has implications that are much more broad than just the pictures. the president had a summit with kim in hanoi that collapsed and his efforts to denuclearization north korea were dead. those hopes may be revived. it was a remarkable scene and we have pictures we took there. here they are. >> ♪ >> tucker: behind me are two countries that could not be more different. on the left is south korea. you can see the flag flying. to the right less than half a mile is north korea. you can it there. the red and the blue flag. that village right

this is between south korea and japan. starting today, tokyois korea and japan. starting today, tokyo is a slapping export restrictions on its neighbour that will have an impact on south korea's electronic industry. our business reporter monica miller is in our studio. what's going on, monica? these two have had a frosty relationship for decades but things got heated up again back in november. that is when south korea's supreme court ordered japanese companies to pay for labour compensation during the second world war. it was for as much as $130,000 each. japan was not impressed with this move and they say that all of this move and they say that all of this had been dealt with during a 1965 treaty. earlier this week, tensions escalated again after tokyo announced that export restrictions on vital minerals for south korea's semiconductor industry, that is including a substance that is used for manufacturing display screens as well as cleaning up ships. japan is the world's biggest producer of such materials and starting today, karpany ‘s materials and starting t

and frankly stepping into north korea was a concession to north korea. this is something that kim jong-un and north korean leaders would have wanted for generations and something no u.s. president would do until donald trump. so this is giving the north koreans something they wanted. it came on the heels of president trump giving china something it wanted too which is some of the restriction of technology sales to huawei. yes, the united states got a trip back to the negotiating table with china, but that's a major concession. after the president said he was going to basically try to starve huawei of this technology. >> yeah, i think a common lesson learned here is not be so bold about the mountain top pronouncements about the ultimate full monty on any issue. so i think it's not all that bad to be flexible and provided you get something in return. >> just reflect on this trip. because we have seen a lot of images. whether it was president trump with kim jong-un, a dictator. president trump and mohammed bin salman. and all kinds of other reports responsi

sanctions on north korea. and what that means is that they can't choose to abide by a different set of measures that may be more -- sanctions measures in a different jurisdiction that may be perceived as more permissive and plan to remain a going concern, which is to say they will violate u.s. sanctions potentially and then put themselves out of business and face insolvency. so try and encourage -- to take your example, a rollback of european sanctions on north korea, and encourage eu banks or companies to try and expand economic connectivity with north korea would be encouraging them to engage in activity that would put them in a conflict of law situation and in vials of u.s. sanctions, which is sort of the fast road to -- to insolvency, and not carrying out the whole point of what they were doing which is to try and create economic incentives or opportunity for north korea, or the people of north korea. on insects, i would say it is fragile at best and the u.s. administration given its overwhelming hostile v

ok they are potentially a threat but south korea's not going to acquire a bomb just because north korea they haven't started to date they don't need to because the united states provides that deterrent they have that and okinawa they have that in guam and they have that in south korea and they manage the d.m.z. so this is part of the united states is extended deterrent post world war 2 security agreement and pact with japan to control the pacific but i think what's more important here is that north korea provides the absolute keystone to the united states pacific rim strategy so if there is peace on the current korean peninsula they provide that's the public facing keystone the back end is china and everybody knows that but in terms of the front end how it looks in the public there the villain north korea pyongyang is the villain if there's peace on the korean peninsula then you have a little bit of a problem in terms of u.s. geo strategy they'll have to reengineer towards china at that point because there's no other threat in the pacific to basically justify that sort of extended turns

what signals are we getting from korea? taking cues from earnings we have had so far it has been a mixed bag across industries as more surprises to the downside. external factors not making for the most favorable conditions for korean companies. this morning we got sk hynix's result. a miss on operating profit. salsees were just beating estimates. if you look at what sk hynix said they will adjust chip production and investment. that does not bode well for growth. they will cut 2020 estimates. that exacerbates pressure. central investment has been slowing since about 2010 in south korea. not looking good for growth. as for hiring, investment facilities and construction remain in contractionary territory -- boost less motivated to hiring. the government is trying to spur job creation. tohynix, we will be waiting see what they have to say regarding japanese export curbs and results. shery: for more on the numbers, let's bring in susquehanna financial senior analyst for semi conductors. great to have you with us. they are goin

because this is not for south korea's and this is not based on the concerns about south korea's domestic are not because to me it is about the japanese domestic regime for export control if indeed south korea and the companies are going to find other sources well that somewhat does south korea and the companies should decide on and that's a totally south korean companies but when it comes to the export control regime that the japanese government ministers that is what does this happen he's government is going to look after so what will it take for the japanese government to roll to roll back the export restriction. there the console taishan mechanism is very much a linchpin for these 2 nations to push to continue having some ongoing economic and trade relationships especially about sensitive matters that could be put into do all use but one has to point out that out consultation mechanism has not been. working the design of which. urges these took these 2 countries to and so that's something that both come countries have to work on but the ball currently is on the court of the south kore

on the heels of the g-20 and his monumental surprise visit to north korea. where he had an impromptu meeting with north korean leader kim jong-un. >> i didn't expect to meet you at this place. the first u.s. president to cross this line. >> reporter: trump taking 20 step news north korea, making him the first sitting american president to set foot in the hermit kingdom. he was greeted by the smiling kim jong-un. >> this is my honor. i didn't really expect it. step ago cross that line was a great honor. >> reporter: the two leaders met for almost an hour, agreeing to restart negotiations on a long, illusive nuclear agreement. the president even suggested kim jong-un should visit the white house. all of this as the "new york times" is reporting the u.s. may be willing to agree to a nuclear freeze. which would pause further weapons development in north korea, but allow it to keep existing weapons. this would be a reversal for the trump administration's previous goal of complete denuclearization by north korea. white house national security adviser john bolton s

it is prob better, as i say, that north korea and the united states are talking an north korea is testing ballistic missiles. the oblem is,s north korea going to surrender its nuclear weon, does kim have any intention of doing that. and i think that is the big doubt. it is-- is president trump legitimizing a nuclear weapon in this neighborhood. >> sreenivasan: is there any incentive to change their behavior when unitied states is willing to talk and not asking r any behavior on the north korean part to change. are you in contact with defectors, have conditions inside north korean--orth korea improved since the time this repachment between countries existed. >> north korean is still i buildi nuclear arsenal, missile arsenal. the human rights'tituations hahanged. those are two things, two solid indications that things are not getting better. there is one thing which is better and that is they are not testing their missiles they are not as hostile and as threatening. so one out of threerhat president trump achieved but thoses other two indicators, there ois progress. >> sreenivasan: simon de

the japan and korea spat rambling on. they may be forced to retaliate. -- the latest plan fails to impress. started withget us a quick check of the markets. health care tech are some of the biggest decliners. individual movers like apple being downgraded. falling after they cut their outlook. we have lingering effects from the data that we saw last week. had one sector that gained ground, the energy sector. also rising with geopolitical tensions. up's see how we are shaping for the markets. sophie: this tuesday, kiwi stocks are up about .4%. this after monday's broad selloff from a two month high from mumbai to shanghai. drop since may. likely crossing their fingers that they can resolve the trade spat. in sydney might rebound a .ouch with commodity moves oil is under pressure. rising volatility. we are watching the jump in iron or prices. , we have the today policy decision and india earnings season kicks off. thank you very much. let's check on the first word news. u.s. state department has approved a possible arms sale

on north korea appears to have conducted its 1st missile test since u.s. president met kim jong un nearly a month ago south korea says 2 projectiles was shot into the sea off one sun japan's government believes they were short range ballistic missiles earlier this month north korea warned military drills in south korea could derail nuclear talks with washington robin pride is live for us say in seoul so rob what more do we know about this and what can we read into the timing of it. and we're still waiting to get confirmation from south korean officials here about exactly what these projectiles were but they do say it's very similar to launches that took place from north korea in may which were determined in the end to be short range missiles they flew a similar distance around 400 kilometers traveling east into the sea separating the korean peninsula and japan the launches in may those were the 1st of those type of launches since 2017 and those launches as this one will be seen as a sign i think of north korea's frustration at the stalled nature of negotia

trump's historic meeting with kim jong-un in north korea. of leadership, the courage and judgment to do. to meet with kim jong-un on kim's side of the korean dmz . and the national left wing media cohorts refuse to give the president credit for not only becomings first sitting president to enter north korea, but with a tweet, he invited kim to meet him in his own country, restarting the trump-kim denuclearization talks. while president trump was saving preworld, meeting with -- the free world, meeting with kim and xi, putin, erdogan, abe, merkel and others, human right protesters flooded into streets of hong kong, and smashed their way to city government headquarters creating greatest challenge to rule of president xi and the chinese communist party ever. the tens of thousands of protesters, the half million demonstrators, taking on the communist regime on the very anniversary of the former british colony' colony's returno chinese rule. worsening demonstrations like you saw in hong continental, edward lawrence, live at the white house with a

president had stepped over into north korea. again to the bolton part of it, this speaks to the larger theme of the administration in that key players in his administration are usually left on the outside, sometimes to their frustration, that they don't get adequate information they need or they would typically be privy to. this so-called progress that the administration is trying to say they are making with north korea could also give trump some kind of talking point entering into 2020, which is maybe why they are pushing so aggressively for some kind of agreement. >> if they get to keep their nuclear weaponry, not dismantle any of it, just freeze it, how does that differ from the iran nuclear deal president trump hated. >> yeah. the president is having some trouble making the case that his diplomacy has been better than what his predecessor was able to do with iran or any other country in part because the president has talked about complete denuclearization in the past but now it seems like he seems to be saying i'm very happy

south korea i think would be the country most affected. south korea has a president in who actually brought trump and kim jong un together moon is deeply anti american though and he's very pro north korean and that for presents a number of dilemmas to us and you notice that moon was not in the meeting between trump and kim right after that historic handshake and that's probably a good thing for us so trump also invited kim to visit us in the united states when the time is right what are your thoughts on the likelihood of this or that is this now creating another carrot for for kim to go after you know this is another carrot that we should not be giving to the north koreans until they have completely disarmed you know kim is one of the most horrific dictators on earth the last thing we should be doing is having him wandering around the white house especially if he's getting a 21 gun salute at a state dinner in the east room that would not be appropriate i think we are going to have to think rethink a number of our outreaches to kim because

south korea really wants peace it once engaged in towards north korea japan however it's highly skeptical and they do a lot to keep this status quo actually now this is obviously very complicated a lot of history and a lot of present day trade tensions these export curbs could ripple all across global supply chains now do you see any potential at all for a resolution well i think it will only get worse i think there will be further escalations and last friday we've seen working double talks between a delegation of japan and south korea to solve things but what happened actually it made things only worse there was a really cold reception the japanese sides didn't even properly greet or bow bow down to words the south koreans in the end both sides didn't even agree what was discussed and what should be disclosed to the public and i see many friends and acquaintances in south korea actually individually boycotting japanese products and there's a lot of strong n.t. japan sentiment well that sounds like it's gotten some very emotional dimensions indeed but we're also coming to a time where the

as you can imagine, it is the top news story here in south korea. showing you one newspaper here with that picture of the historic moment when president trump became the first american president to enter north korea. this particular newspaper dedicated seven pages to that story but there has been some debate about whether that was a gigantic photo opportunity. but also, south korean media has been somewhat divided about president moonjae—in of south korea focusing too much on this north korean issue while other main issues for the local community here such as the economy, youth unemployment, remain un— tackled. but as you mentioned, surprisingly, north korean state media also reported this story this morning, both on television as well as on the front page of the main newspaper. it actually had 85 pictures of that historic meeting between the two leaders. that goes to show that pyongyang was probably pleased with how it went because usually it takes a lot longerfor north korean media to report about it and of course for the public to find out. w

the zation in south korea may bring about a nuclear ization. as well as the nuclear is ation of japan. proliferation of nuclear weapons is not good to this a p for peace they'll fall that i think that it's important to try to dig new clear eyes north korea of course admit that this job is not there any easy one because. north korean regime is a nuclear bomb bits is an insurance policy so yeah yeah i lied loud but i'm pleased to welcome chorus i mean i am prime. the day the north korean sol went to the west did to libya so no wonder it needs an insurance policy patrick let me go to you jump in and. we're fucked and what's already been said here go ahead. well firstly i want to just comment on what f.m. said i don't i don't believe north korea they don't have a confirmed nuclear weapons arsenal this is this is all up in the air a lot of the. analysis. according to the cia one and multiple assessments from 2010 to 2013 it mid that they are not sure what exactly they have they have done tests this seems to have been confirmed nuclear tests but in t

we start with breaking news from south korea, where the military in seoul say that north korea has launched a series of unidentified projectiles from the hodo peninsula. last week, the north fired two short—range ballistic missiles from the same area. live now to our correspondent laura bicker in seoul. laura, we are getting a few more details about these latest launches, following, of course, the launches saw last week. the south korean military now say that it was two short—range ballistic missiles. they flew a distance of around 250 kilometres in a north—easterly direction, landing on the sea of japan, also known as the east sea here in korea. they flew at a height of around 30 kilometres. at this stage, defence chiefs in seoul believe that it is a different type of missile. what they mean by that, we're not quite sure. last week, north korea appeared to have tested a new type of missile, a new type of short—range ballistic missile, which flew 600 kilometres. now, it is worth remembering that, although washington appears to be brushing off these latest short—range missile test,
