With president Tran Dai Quang, mr trump welcomed vietnams commitment to reducing trade barriers to american exports. United states is committed to a free and open indo pacific were strong independent nation to respect each others sobran trygg, uphold the rule of law, and advances the rules of commerce each others law. We will not be proxies or satellites. We look forward to achieving a bilateral trade agreement with partners who abide by the principles of phairand partners who abide by the principles of phair and reciprocal trade. Two very important words, fairer and reciprocal. It has not been that way for the United States almost at all. And we are changing that and we are changing rapidly. For trade to work, all countries must play by the rules. I am encouraged that vietnam has recently become the export market to the United States. Donald trump speaking earlier. Our correspondent, Karishma Vaswani was at the two president s News Conference in hanoi. I asked her what the main points of discussion were. President trump was asked about his comments on president putin and the tweet he had sent out about the fact that president putin really does believe he did not meddle in the us election. He clarified that and said, yes, he believes that president putin feels he did not meddle in the us election. A rare admission from the us president and he has come down on the side of the intelligence agencies who have said that they do believe there is evidence that right up meddled in the us elections. Interestingly enough, the other point that kept coming across in his press conference, both on russia and north korea, was that he was trying to say that we have got a big problem out here, issues of trade, to do with the Nuclear Radiation in north denuclearisation in north korea, and i want to get down to business. It appears to be the pragmatic, practical approach. Appears to be the pragmatic, practicalapproach. Keeping appears to be the pragmatic, practical approach. Keeping in mind some of the sensitivities he has to face, given these allegations, these swirling allegations back home. The other things he talked about in his speech in vietnam, he eluded to greater commitment in the South China Sea with the vietnamese, that is something vietnam was keen to hear. Again, that clear message that hear. Again, that clear message that he here to talk to partners and to try to get some work done on the key important issues facing the United States on north korea and on trade. Meanwhile, President Trumps war of words with north korea has continued with a tweet in which the american president wonders why the north Korean Leader would insult him by calling him old. In his tweet, mr trump said he would never call kim jong un short and fat. He also said he tried hard to be his friend and some day that might happen. Our correspondent, mark lowen joins us from seoul. Any reaction to this from pyongyang . Not yet. I ensure it will be like a red rag to a bull. North korea being like it is there is this divine revere nce like it is there is this divine reverence for the great leader that stretches back to kim jong uns grandfather, the founding father of north korea. It is carried on to kim jong un well. Any zaza motbey dear leader is seen as a direct attack on the regime, any attack on the. That is why there was a furious exchange of rhetoric a few months ago when donald trump had labelled kim jong un little rocket man and the north Korean Leader called him at poptart. That has happened again this week. North korea has been relatively quiet about the tour. The Foreign Ministry in pyongyang has issued a statement that came before the donald trump tweets, calling it a warmongers visit and saying they we re a warmongers visit and saying they were begging for nuclear war and that the reckless remarks by someone like donald trump could never frighten them. And then you had Donald Trumps tweet today. It is very school boy, playground antics. The problem is, when there is an attempt at upping diplomatic pressure, those things on twitter seem to undermine the diplomatic pressure that is happening through beijing and new york and any real hope of north korea pulling back from its aim of developing a long range nuclear weapons. From its aim of developing a longrange nuclear weapons. One of Donald Trumps aims from this was to encourage xijinping to Donald Trumps aims from this was to encourage xi jinping to increase sanctions and pressure on north korea. Has there been any development with regards to that . Donald trump said that president xi had reiterated his desire to increase sanctions and the denuclearisation of north korea, although we have not heard that directly from president xi jinping. But any kind of belief that there is going to be a denuclearisation in north korea is really an indication that the Foreign Policy of the us and the west might have its head in the clouds. As far as north korea is concerned, its survival is dependent on being a Nuclear Armed state. That is the view of the north korean regime. They have seen what happened in libya and iraq when they pull back from developing weapons of mass destruction. They see a nuclear weapon, a full nuclear weapon, a Nuclear Armed state, as being a guarantor of survival. That is why the rhetoric from the white house of denuclearisation or from the rhetoric from the white house of denuclearisation orfrom beijing is com pletely denuclearisation orfrom beijing is completely unrealistic. The growing belief, the hope, is that containment rather than denuclearisation is probably the best that the International Community can hope for. When you have this kind of name calling on twitter from donald trump, effectively calling kim jong un short and fat, and the name calling from pyongyang calling him a dotard brings it down to a war of words on the twittersphere and high rates, which is not helping either side.

In lebanon, it is still unclear what the current position is of the man who was the countrys Prime Minister. That is, until he unexpectedly resigned last week. Saad hariri announced his resignation in saudi arabia. There is widespread concern in lebanon that he is being held against his will. However, his party in lebanon has issued a strong statement in favour of saudi arabia and against iran, but the lebanese president has demanded answers from the saudis. So what is the political situation in saudi arabia at the moment . Our security correspondent Frank Gardner explains how many of the countrys new policies are down to the crown prince. He is Mohammed Bin Salman, and he has consolidated his hold on power. The Saudi Crown PrinceMohammed Bin Salman is incredibly young for someone with so much responsibility. Hes also a defence minister and in charge of the economy. He has got that because he spent the last few years being effectively tutored by his father, the king. He has had emerged from the shadows with a meteoric rise to take over one portfolio after another. Saturday, the fourth of november has been termed already the night of the long knives, because, under the orders of the crown prince, a large number of senior saudi princes, ministers, former ministers and business figures have all been rounded up, their assets seized, theyve been put into luxury detention. This is unprecedented in saudi arabia. These are big public figures and they have been publicly humiliated and accused so Officials Say of corruption and abuse of power. This has also been seen as a power grab by the crown prince. He is now consolidating all the reigns of power into his hand. The Saudi Crown Prince is one of the very few people who could take on the power of the religious conservatives inside arabia and say it is time for women to be allowed to drive. Saudi arabia is the last country in the world where women have not been allowed to drive. Thats going to change injune, when the ban is lifted. So far the clerics have said that is ok. Theyve always resisted this. Lets see what happens injune. The Saudi Crown Prince is absolutely right in that he needs to reform the saudi economy it has got this huge dependence on oil that will one day run out. So to that end, he has announced plans for this massive vision 2030 and a huge megacity a half trillion dollar megacity in the desert thats going to have robots and drones and Driverless Cars and there will be zones where men and women can mix publicly, and there will be entertainment, cinemas these things are unprecedented in conservative saudi arabia. Driving it through is very much his vision. Anybody who gets in the way of that, he is making sure that they are removed. The Saudi Crown Prince is taking on a lot of enemies at the same time. 2. 5 years ago, he committed Saudi Armed Forces to join in the war in yemen and that war is unwinnable, its costing a lot of money, and its costing a terrible amount of casualties in yemen. He is leading a boycott against neighbouring qatar, which is damaging to both countries. And he is very much involved in the saudi war of words with iran, with both countries accusing each other of aggression and stirring up trouble in the middle east. He is also still technically fighting isis and taking on the power of the entrenched religious clerics at home as well as many business interests. This is a lot of people to be taking on at the same time, and it has been described as building up a reservoir of discontent.
