President trump is in south korea where he hopes to inject new life into stalled nuclear talks. Hes set to visit the de militarised zone which separates the two koreas and extended an invitation to kim jong un to come and shake hands. President trump travelled to seoul directly from the 620 talks in japan. Hes now facing criticism from both republicans and democrats back home, for announcing that a ban on us firms trading with chinese tech giant, huawei would be lifted. Nick bryant reports from osaka. This was a day when the 620 summit of the worlds wealthiest nations essentially became a g2. These talks between donald trump and xijinping, by far the most consequential meeting of this global gathering. It ended with a cease fire inthe trade war, an agreement to restart talks that fell apart last month. But the us president made a major concession, lifting some restrictions on huawei, the chinese tech giant at the centre of whats felt like a commercial cold war. We had a very good meeting with president xi of china excellent. I would say excellent, as good as it was going to be. We discussed a lot of things and were right back on track. The other headline of the day, mr trump impromptu invitation to kim jong un via twitter, to meet him tomorrow at the demilitarised zone separating north and south korea. We will go to summit, well call it a handshake, if it does happen. I do know that it will, but it could happen. I know, i think hed like to do it and i wouldnt mind doing it at all. I am literally visiting the dmz. This summit has highlighted a stark global divide between advocates of the postwar liberal order at nationalists such as Vladimir Putin, who has described it as obsolete. It is getting harder to tell which side the United States is on. From joking with Vladimir Putin about russian meddling in next years us president ial election to his cosiness with the saudi crown prince. Donald trump has arguably shown more admiration here for authoritarian leaders, than americas traditional allies. He arrived tonight in seoul for a pre planned dinner with south koreas president. But will he get his date at the dmz, with his friend from the totalitarian north . Lets go live to our correspondent mariko 0i who is near the De Militarized Zone between north and south korea that President Trump will visit on sunday. We can see the backdrop behind you, just overlooking the dmc. What will donald trump be up to today . As you said, you can probably see the barbed wire behind me which divide the two careers, still technically speaking they are still at war, since the korean war of the 1950s. President trump will be meeting with moonjae in in and a holder shot press c0 nfe re nce moonjae in in and a holder shot press conference before coming here later this afternoon. As nick mentioned, he treated yesterday saying he wouldnt mind meeting kim jong un if he is up for it, a p pa re ntly jong un if he is up for it, apparently north korea has responded favourably. We dont know whether he will be there but if that happens, that will be very historical stop also President Trump, when he was asked by reporter whether he consider crossing the border, taking a step into north korea, he said, sure, rather casually. If that happens he will be the first sitting president to do so. That would be extraordinary. Now President Trump has already been meeting with the south korean leader, what have they been up to . Thats right, President Trump arrived late last night, he had no with the president of south korea, as well as the south korean boy band bts. Also he said, did you see my teat treat . Itll be a great idea for this meeting to take place. Of course President Trump and kim jong un twice previously, first in singapore last year and that in february in vietnam. The summit provided a great photo opportunity for both leaders but the hanoi summit didnt go as well as i thought and talks broke down. They haveif thought and talks broke down. They have if they get to meet later today, that would restart negotiations but while it is a bit like a reality tv show, are so glued to see whats happening next, you cant deny the fact that the difference in opinion between the United States and north korea havent changed denuclearise asian. Kim jong un has always demanded sanctions be lifted before he does anything else, which the us disagree with. Whether or not they achieve something meaningful in the future, remains to be scanned but if the two leaders get to meet at the demilitarised zone, that would be historic. As you say, hopes of perhaps re energising those talks between the us had north korea, if that meeting with kim jong un doesnt happen, what do you think donald trump is hoping to achieve from his visit to south korea . think that has been the big question that the fact that he tweeted, did he have leased have at least some communication with them are not. Why would he tweeted if there was no possibility that this meeting could ta ke possibility that this meeting could take place, we would never know what would have happened before that wed yesterday morning by President Trump. It seems that kim jong un responding quickly, saying it was an interesting suggestion, at least both leaders can say save face even though they didnt meet. The response was favourable, they can blame it on schedule or whether or other things but i think its fair to say that both leaders are probably hoping this will take place. In the demilitarised tone between north and south korea, we will keep in touch as those events continue for if you want to know about any of the background between the relationship with korea and the United States, just go to our website.

We will keep you across on bbc news. Hello again. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. Temperatures reached 3a degrees celsius at both northolt and also heathrow in west london but a cold front has been working eastwards over recent hours and thats been bringing fresher air with it so todays top temperature will be around 25 degrees. Thats not cold, still warmer than normal for the time of year but not as hot as yesterday and yesterday ended in a bit of a bang as well. Some lively thunderstorms, particularly focusing in on parts of scotland brought also some localised flooding issues. It wasnt the first time this month that edinburgh was in the firing line for some pretty nasty weather. Looking at the weather picture, over recent hours, you can see those storms have been working out into the north sea. The weather has been calming down but if youre heading outside over the next few hours, there could still be a bit of rain to come especially across Western Areas of scotland, the highlands and the Western Isles but its a largely dry picture and although it was a very warm start to the night, if you are heading outside over the next few hours, these are the kinds of temperatures you are more likely to encounter, only around 15, 16 degrees celsius. Sunday is going to be a much fresher kind of day with plenty of sunshine around. There will be some thick cloudin the north west and that will be bringing outbreaks of rain so some wet weather here and along with that, the cool winds coming in from the sea will keep temperatures pretty low, really, from the time of year across the very far north of scotland and thats why there are a few showers for Northern Ireland, a few for the north west of both england and wales, the driest weather across southern and eastern areas. For many of us, temperatures are actually pretty good for the time of year. 20 in aberdeen, quite warm. 2a, 25 for south east england but 1a for shetland and 12 in lerwick, thats not particularly special for the time of year. Another hot day coming up then for Central Europe on sunday as well. The heatwave is beginning to come to an end as cooler temperatures begin to flow in and that will tend to knock the temperatures down. For much of the week ahead, our weather is going to take a north westerly pattern and bring further showers in across the north westerly wind for the uk, variable cloud elsewhere with some spells of sunshine coming and going. Temperatures alright for the time of year again with highs of around 18 in newcastle, 22 in london but again, across the far north of scotland, itll be a little bit disappointing for the time of year. We are looking deeper into the week ahead, its a largely dry week, actually. Sunny spells and temperatures generally into the high teens, and low 20s for scotland and Northern Ireland and into the low to mid 20s for england and wales. Thats your weather. This is bbc news. The headlines President Trump has arrived in the south korean capital, seoul for talks with president moonjae in.
