About saudi investments in america than he is about their policies of murdering journalists and consulates just quickly jim u. S. Turkey relations and saw President Trump and one meeting as well i mean things have not exactly been great between them recently. They havent and thats why this meeting that took place a few hours it will come out is being received very positively because firstly the fact that it took place in and of itself is something significant but more importantly there was a shift in policy at least as described by the u. S. President himself what this comes down to is turkey had been wanting to acquire these s. 400 missiles its Missile Defense system and they were acquiring it from the russians now throughout this time the American Administration it said if turkey goes ahead with this that the americans would cancel other military deals namely the f. 35 fighter jets as well as slap on certain sanctions on iran we saw that come to a climax several months ago when the u. S. Put sums on turkish imports into america which settled the devaluation of the turkish currency by more than 50 percent overnight they however said that earlier one was justified in going to russia because he blamed the Obama Administration saying that the turks had actually initially approached their allies in nato washington and so by the Patriot Missile system which is the american version of that and that the Obama Administration had refused therefore it was only natural for turkey to look elsewhere trump said he would be looking to find a way around this and that he was looking forward to visiting sarky so this is something that at least in terms of the rhetoric coming out of the white house shows some sort of significance of flowing in those relations and a positive move forward as far as thats concerned jamal shales that the g. 20 summit in also thank you jim. And here is seoul where air force one has just landed President Trump now making the next part of excuse me his trip to the south korean capital who would be meeting. In on that trip there but also the north Korean Leader kim jong un has sort of been brought into the fold as well donald trump tweeting that he is hopeful to restart talks between the u. S. And north korea an even extended day and invitation to him well talk more about that with robert bride in a moment 1st his report. As the future direction of relations with north korea hangs in the balance a socalled peace symposium is held in seoul political leaders academics and journalists gather trying to answer how this weekends meeting between u. S. President donald trump and his south korean counterpart moon j. N. Might ease the current deadlock with the north. This sunday in seoul president moon gene and President Trump will have their 8th summit and President Trump at the d. M. Z. Is expected to send a certain message to north korea. The last time trump visited south korea in november 27th seen relations with north korea were at about their lowest point with the threat of war in the year and a half since the flurry of diplomatic activity between north korea and its neighbors and with the United States has seen a dramatic improvement. But since february is failure in viet nam of the 2nd summit between President Trump and kim jong un the process has stalled north korea has returned to some of its hostile rhetoric and seems to blame south korea in part for the failure in hanoi. For south korea a successful meeting with trump would help restore moons position as an important intermediary with the u. S. Administration i think theyre also interested in sending a message to north korea. The moon still has some sway with the administration. When moon says the administration is perhaps willing to move and be a little bit more flexible than the North Koreans can believe him and that will motivate them to also be a little bit more flexible in their approach to entering into negotiations which they have not been since hanoi the hanoi summit reportedly failed because the u. S. Side unexpectedly introduced the prospect of doing a much bigger deal that had been talked about before the meeting something north korea favoring smaller more tentative steps couldnt agree to south korea believes a compromise is possible and president moons team remains hopeful of finding it we must agree on a comprehensive settlement and fulfill that through gradual steps it must include a clear roadmap and timetable the highlight of this trip is expected to be trumps long anticipated visit to the Demilitarized Zone separating the 2 koreas south korea is hoping this visit produces far more than just a symbolic photo opportunity speaking of symbolic Photo Opportunities at the also an airbase in south korea President Trumpets just descended from air force one meeting in at the bottom of the says there we saw just before they arrived actually jerod cushion and ivanka trump as well so this is part 2 of the trip to japan 1st and now to seoul to meet in. Broad as a chorus one an insult to talk us through this hi rob. And then dictation by tweet seems to be the big talking point at the moment for the north Korean Leader. Absolutely and intriguing want to be sure this saturday morning tweet from President Trump saying if you happen to be listening to your career i will be at the d. M. Z. Wouldnt it be nice if i met up with kim jong un if you happened to be passing just for a handshake nothing more is the usual kind of political theater i think weve come to expect come out and wasnt given probably much credence by many people that was maybe seen almost like a teaser if you like for the next episode in a long running t. V. Series north korea as we know does not do spontaneous but then within a few hours interestingly we got a response back from north korea saying that a meeting it seems might be possible as we watch President Trump move towards his helicopter hes taking his helicopter with his entourage that as you mentioned there includes krishna and ivanka trump to seoul they were due to go to their hotel 1st but we know that things have been overrunning we know from that lengthy marathon of a press conference things things have been over running so instead were told that they will be going to the blue house president ial compound in seoul where theyre due to have dinner with jay and the president of south korea and i am sure the all of the dinner discussion will be taken up by the prospect of will there be a meeting on the d. M. Z. Tomorrow sunday with kim jong un because we heard from north koreas 1st vice foreign minister the yes if it was more formalized this invitation who knows maybe kim jong un would be open to such a meeting where well have to wait and see come are you always expect the unexpected just thinking back rob to Donald Trumps last big overseas trip in london and all the talk was about all the protests that were going to greet him there what is the situation like in seoul is it is a big anti trump feeling there. South korea often has a lot of protests on its streets at weekends in particular people get out on the streets holding all sorts of different political points of view different grievances they have protests all the time given trumps visit and given the fact that its taking place at the weekend we have more protests than usual and we have a awful lot of different views represented an awful lot of people here come out from right wing more conservative groups often the older generation a lot of them would be veterans from the conflict from the korean war and now they hold very strict conservative views are very much in favor of the south Korean American Alliance it is the alliance that saved south korea from the defeats at the hands of the north korean 70 years ago as we know so there is a very strong feeling so there is a lot of support for this visit from the president of the United States south koreas biggest ally but it is i think a tinge by a certain unsure uncertainty on the part of many about this interaction with the North Koreans there is an awful lot of distrust here of the North Koreans generally and of kim jong un in particular so people are very much divided about. About trumps policy of engagement with the north which we can see in some of the anger on the streets of the protests which will continue throughout this weekend as it unfolds. Ok rob mcbrides in seoul thank you very much wrapping up our coverage of the g. 20 finale.

Says terrorism and fighting among rival ethnic groups are the greatest challenges facing the region with us from a butcher whos done so much reporting in the last months or weeks i guess made. The situation important that that one does get a lot of discussion at the summit. Well basically this is the main creature of all the speeches by the way the summit has is holding currently in the building right behind me now and already major speeches for the Opening Ceremony have been delivered by president Mahmoud Abbas the president of the of course commission and the chairman of the of course commission and even the representative of the United Nations for west africans the health and security has been the common denominator of all the 3 speeches and of course its also expected to be reflected in all of the speeches and all of the discussions that are going to happen in the next few hours here in this building at the president ial palace now president Mahmoud Abbas said despite the progress recorded by the region over the last one year also. Security remain a very very serious issue and so did the chairman of the course commission and the United Nations special representative and they said the region needs actually a new approach to deal with the situation they talked about the clashes between herders and farmers the doggone hunters in mali be the farmers and promise clashes in nigeria that has claimed thousands of lives of thousands of lives over the last 3 or 4 years so they have the issue is becoming more and more pertinent and they have also touched on the critical issue that the region has been dealing with for the last 10 years or so that issue of book white and now i still is trying to take a foothold in west africa and this is how this is a very serious concern for leaders at the summit which by the way is well attended most of the leaders of west africa members of the Economic Community of West African States are tending the region the foster operates in a very very long time here in nigeria or elsewhere in west africa because most dont most of the times only a few leaders will arrive and then the rest will send in their representatives so but it looks like the issue of security is part of a moment on the minds of all the leaders gathered here.
