North korea has dominated talks between japans Prime Minister shinzo and us President Donald Trump both leaders agreed the time for dialogue and what they called strategic patience is over trump is on a twelve day tour of five Asian Countries his visit comes at a time of heightened tension on the Korean Peninsula as the two countries are in complete agreement on what measures should be taken against the nuclear state. There is no point in the dialogue for the sake of dialogue with north korea. Now is the time not for dialogue but for applying the maximum level of pressure on north korea we completely agreed that in order to make north north korea change their policy japan in us must take leadership in closely collaborating with the International Community so that we can and house the pressure to the maximum level over north korea through possible means the era of strategic patience is over. Some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last twenty five years look where we are right now live to tokyo aljazeera scott heide is there so scott they say the era for strategic patience is over there in complete agreement on what steps should be taken against north korea what are they. Well one in particular and specific action thats going to be taken by japan at this press conference here in tokyo just within the last hour Prime Minister shinzo are they said that theyll be unilateral sanctions from japan on freezing assets of thirty five entities and individuals in north korea the specifics will come out on tuesday but thats one thing specifically that japan is doing and also interesting you know we heard the two leaders there talk about how the patience patience has worn thin you know dialogue for the sake of dialogue said is over what they say they need to focus on now is more pressure and both leaders have pointed the finger and said that they need the help of russia and china to make sure that that pressure full pressure can be applied so you can imagine over the coming days when these leaders are going to be seeing the leaders of russia and china in this present trumps trip throughout the region the next ten days but then also you have an eight pack in an aussie on summits regional summits recent economic summits that are going to be taking place in the coming days they will be there all these leaders so you can imagine that theyll be discussions bilateral discussions possible Panel Discussions at these summits to figure out how or at least these two nations depending United States to get those other two nations russia and china to put more pressure north korea was the focus of the talks but they also discussed trade what do they say. Yeah they did on trade it was interesting because you know as donald trump has said throughout his campaign to be president and almost one of the first things he did when he came into the white house was to to work through all the United States from a big trade package to t p p Transpacific Partnership that was very important to japan so they still havent really seen eye to eye when it comes to trade present kept saying that theres a trade deficit which upin theyre looking forward to working through that they say theyre going to be certain areas where they think they can cooperate more with trade they said that theyre going to try to do that but in kind of a pure fashion in this press conference he was going through and saying this he said hed like japan to continue to thrive but he said but of course were still the best youll be number two so saying that they will try to coordinate better on trade but again obviously America First is still the top of mind when it comes to trade with other nations all right scott many thanks indeed scott hyla there live in tokyo.

One of saudi arabias princes has been killed in a Helicopter Crash near the border with yemen a number of saudi officials also died prince bansal been moving outside was the son of the former crown prince immigrant and believed to be a close ally of the current one mohammed bin solomon the videos that youre seeing now been posted on his twitter page hours before his death and show him inspecting defense and environment projects he was the Deputy Governor of the sea a region which borders yemen. Iran and its ally the lebanon based shia Group Hezbollah have accused saudi arabia the u. S. And israel of trying to fuel tension in the middle east by pushing lebanons Prime Minister to resign saad hariri announced that he was leaving his position on saturday one of the visit to saudi arabia his bonus secretary general hossam the strada says that riyadh is behind the sudden resignation. This is the statement written by his so if you want to discuss it we need to discuss the. The way south is its not the way of south really its not the way of. Block and what has been written and that is ignition the statement is completely different even since its sad that harry reid. Came to power the way he thinks the way he deals with matters the way his sort out problems doesnt go. With the content of those of a nation statement hariri says there was an assassination plot against him he criticized hizbollah and iran for their actions in lebanon israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that iran is trying to dominate the whole region and i think this is a wake up call for everyone it says what the middle east is really experiencing its experiencing the attempt of iran to conquer the middle east to dominate in subjugated and i think when israelis and arabs and its all the arms and the israelis i want to agree on one thing. People should Pay Attention we should stop this is a rainy and take all night im solemn as a professor of International Affairs and diplomacy at the not Saddam University in lebanon he joins us now live from beirut good to have you with us what is your take on all of this did you along with anyone else have any inkling that the Prime Minister was about to resign. No one in lebanon literally has any idea that resignation by Prime Minister. Coming literally no one expected was going. Everything was going nicely as far as cooperation between Prime Minister hariri and all of the components of the government. Particularly the president general around. All of the other groups and saying this was going from. Good to better in the last year Prime Minister has been Prime Minister then suddenly he was cornered to go to saudi arabia and he did. Hours after his arrival in saudi arabia a lot of the channel. Declaring his visit. Mazing the end of his own television station in in lebanon. Didnt know. About this and didnt put the video on it later on it took the. Media from a lot of media so everyone literally. Right what happened and. That is a saudi reason not to lebanese the fact of saudi factor it is it clearly is that the Prime Minister has been pressured in saudi arabia to declare his resignation what is that what would be the motive for saudi arabia to to pressure lebanons Prime Minister to resign and what are we to make of the Prime Ministers claim is that there was an assassination plot against him. Immediately after he declared his resignation and mentioned that there was an assassination dangers against him all of the secure. Agencies in lebanon including the one which is a presided by mr how did his friend interior minister declared that there is that has been no such a report regardless any sets. And therefore that the courses of this as a nation lie someplace and not in any. Of the Prime Minister in fact the security situation in lebanon has been very good compared it was all are suddenly going to start in countries in recent months and even compared with. The states as well we dont see any major source if that is to be any any kind of terrorist attack it will be isolated we dont were not there no Security Agency in lebanon expecting any measure or. Terrorist attack in lebanon so there isnt really in saudi arabia where the saudi government representing the minister in charge of gulf affairs mr han has been waging a very Strong Campaign against hezbollah for the past. Three months and hes this campaign has been relentless against hezbollah. And saying that hezbollah out of presenting the influence of iran and lebanon and this should be eliminated as cetera et cetera so the Prime Ministers resignation should be put in context meaning saudi pressure on lebanon to encircle hezbollah or to encircle iranian influence in about that actually. Iranian influence in lebanon or was hezbollah i dont think thats the saudis are able to encircle it in fact iran has been the primary beneficiary of and then you can waters in the middle east particularly in iraq in iraq the iranian have now measured influence in iraq primarily due to American Occupation of the. Well be able to push out the iranian influence. From. Professor. Were going to have to end it there many thanks professor for being with us.

Well a. J. And lets just remind our viewers that term. And his four former ministers arrived here in belgium last monday and on friday spain issued that european arrest warrant for the fire on charges including sedition rebellion and this use of public money charges which could carry a prison sentence of thirty years now on sunday morning. Pushed him on and the four others went to a central Brussels Police station and then they were transferred to the building behind me the Brussels Prosecutors Office where they were questioned for several hours and just before midnight local time on sunday the decision was issued.

With all the eighteen thousand people murdered in mexico so far this year twenty seventeen is set to become the countrys deadliest year yet the situation is now worse than in two thousand and eleven when the government declared a war on drug cartels.

Mexicos latest wave of violence is expected to claim over twenty four thousand lives by the end of twenty seventeen worse than at the height of the drug war a few years ago the main reason for the unprecedented numbers say crime tracking n.

Something that worries analysts as mexico heads into an Election Year crime rates tend to go up when Elections Come along.

For.
