Theres growing speculation that north koreas leader is getting set to change strategy over stalled denuclearization talks kim jong un has given the u. S. Until the end of the year to come up with concessions to ease crippling sanctions observers will be watching closely when kim makes his traditional new year address rob mcbride reports from seoul. As north Korean Leader kim jong un has been presiding over an important year end meeting of the Ruling Workers Party speculation has been growing about the new way he might be considering in his Nuclear Standoff with the u. S. The year began with continuing hopes that his summit diplomacy with u. S. President donald trump would yield success but their february meeting in hanoi ended prematurely without agreement gradually north korea has returned to testing short range missiles with mounting fears that in 2020 it could restart tests of longer range intercontinental ballistic missiles. That risks not only conflict with the u. S. And its allies but also damaging progress with neighbors whove been supporting north koreas push for sanctions relief. Rather than having the oceans with the u. S. Korea would be looking for a new way to china russia worry an International Coalition they could find some relief from the sanctions that you want to use looking at for 2020 just as talks between north korea and the u. S. Have stalled so too have into korean relations its not known when or if the leaders of the 2 koreas will meet again and all of this comes as relations between south korea and the u. S. Have been put under strain over who pays for the stationing of american soldiers here. The u. S. Has reportedly been demanding a 5 fold increase in the nearly 1000000000. 00 that south korea currently contributes a figure the americans wont confirm right and that is why i say that that. That thats not a number that we are currently focused on in the negotiations but beyond that these are private discussions between 2 close allies but an alliance that remains a polarizing issue here. Due to the u. S. Demand for an enormous increase in the defense questioning there are lots of frictions and relations between the u. S. And south korea Many South Koreans believe that the u. S. Forces are stationed here for their interests not ours. As winterset in the sight of kim jong un journeying to sacred mount pet coup often a precursor to important announcements only added to the belief that this new year address could have consequences for everyone on the Korean Peninsula and many more beyond it Robert Bright aljazeera sold.

The questions beyond this situation chief among them is whether this caretaker government has the right to make these big Foreign Policy decisions its not just in this case its also broken with former allies we got closer to former adversaries despite the fact that its an elected and only meant to bridge the gap until a fresh vote. Perhaps the biggest question is when those elections will be held so bolivians can choose a permanent government that too has yet to be resolved john homan how does it or mitt screw city turkeys government says that its fast tracking a new bill through parliament that would allow for the deployment of its troops to libya its in response to a call for support by libyas un recognized government its forces are trying to stop a military offensive by warlord Khalifa Haftar has been trying to seize the capital since april turkeys government says the conflict threatens to interests alshabaab has claimed responsibility for a truck bomb attack in the somali capital that killed at least 80 people a spokesman for the armed group says that saturdays attack targeted a convoy of somali and Turkish Forces the group has accused turkey of trying to control somalia fighters and regularly carried out bombings in their campaign to topple the government government blamed for an outbreak of fighting in the capital of the Central African republic of been given 2 days to give up their weapons at least 40 people were killed in benghazi during days of fighting between market traders and armed groups the United Nations has now sent more troops to try to keep the peace i would address reports from banging.
