has not happened lately and lately the attention has been solely on just these two leaders is is that by chance or is there a reason there. was this thing a person i m a but was a lot of scope for negotiations they could have immediately gone into a negotiation over a road map but what actually happened was that as it seems the state department went back to north korea. brought up old former lawyers there was a former lawyer cannot become sessions in return for nuclear disarmament that is a formula that neither worked during the six party talks nobody pay agreement and the north koreans got considerably upset about this so at the end of the day no especially commune tried to bypass this day to department and get straight access to donald trump and at the moment it seems both arrayed in charge so when these two leaders come out later today and sign this joint agreement i mean is it safe to predict into assume that this is going to be an agreement that was truly worked out
prosecutor numerous times so in the whole scheme of things how significant is michael cohen s testimony yesterday to the overall investigations that are underway . right now i don t want to kind of on the cell of the blockbuster nature of what we saw here in washington that said we do need hard evidence and it s fair to say that you know the murder investigation the results that we re waiting for that will be so very significant when mr cohen set out today seem to be the cement between you know of course what democrats are hoping all the bricks of what will come out of special counsel robert motos investigation so be very interesting to see what we learn from that when that report is true that it and what about the oversight committee yesterday to help hardison did it behave and what does it tell us about the united states and its deep political
to do the work for example that you re trying to do there we know that yesterday reporters were asked to leave the room and we just saw there the hotel that that impromptu press conference was cut very short is probably because of what has happened in the united states in washington in the last twenty four hours with that congressional hearing of trump s former attorney do you get the sense that the michael cohen story in washington is overshadowing the the talks there were you war . well it s definitely having an effect and as you mentioned we could see those those reporters barred from that dinner event last night and then we re going to we re going to see what happens later on in that press conference if it s going to have any effect because for sure reporters are going to be asking a lot of questions about about the cohen affair there as well and they will have to see how the president reacts and and if they re going to be if they re going to be
all but most patterns at the office who agreed to talk to us despite being employed by the federal government agree on one thing after listening to hours of michael cohen s testimony and then you just listen to what cohen says if you believe them fine if you don t you don t but he deserves to be speak because he was an eyewitness a criminal who is telling the truth has got nothing and he s kind of a doofus but he s telling us what we all know has happened and he s giving it into a narrative. that s on the record that we can understand. the political divide seems to deepen yet again in washington and also as the entire country seems still far from unified nobody here really expects positive change anytime soon and with that they could be many more watch parties and duffy s irish pop in the future. here s a look at some of the other stories around the world the european union has urged
