That is make a good start and open the great path to reunification. Despite the initial optimism the talks broke down and in the two years since north korea has fired more than forty missiles and conducted three Nuclear Tests to v. S. E. Escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula but at the start of this year north Korean Leader kim jong il unexpectedly proposed dialogue with the south and. The focus of the discussions due to take place on tuesday at the truce village of panmunjom will be on north koreas participation in the two thousand and eight Winter Olympics in south korea next month and on improving into korean ties the last time north korean athletes visited the south was for the asian games in two thousand and fourteen. Sporting events have been useful in providing diplomatic openings between the two koreas but ultimately led nowhere and some analysts are skeptical of north koreas true intentions this time because of the effectiveness of the economic sanctions you know some of the fires the value of south korea as an alternative source of Financial Relief and using the pension on the ground. As punishment for its Nuclear Weapons testing north korea has been subjected to increasingly tighter sanctions including one that effectively slashes its petrol imports by ninety percent but kim has vowed to continue with his countrys Nuclear Program calling for the mass production and deployment of Nuclear Warheads and miss else.

Oh you know of the statements issued by the i mean there are were National News there are you know. Here i mean that when there are some here no money. Is going. On on the table is i believe that this is as i first tried the focus will be how do you know are you know are still if youve been on this mission because now weve got him and so i mean the. Meetings are separate families sanctions obviously have been the hot topic in recent weeks in the beginning to hurt north korea but theyre not a solution to a long long term stability in the region as many might think they only anger pyongyang more and yet north korea knows that more missile launches means more punishment have they realize that and is that the reason that theyve decided to come to the discussion table a new use the olympics as a precondition but a precursor. Well north korea must have been feeling. You know. Theyre not really. Anxious but at the same time the north korean reduce our. Its a new. Its a little bit its not changed so its race whether or not really is bring will be if you want to reduce the able. Any part of the United States or pressure of the of the imposed by International Community here you know that this will create. Very earth or just see in a couple of hours what is said were going back to south korea for the moment thanks for joining us from seoul. Now the u. S. Government has decided it will terminate the temporary protected status of more than two hundred sixty thousand immigrants from el salvador. Protesters rallied against a move outside the white house people from el salvador were allowed to live and work in the u. S. After two large earthquakes hit the country in two thousand and one their socalled temporary protected status will now ended september next year lets go to Diane Estabrook whos following the story for us our correspondent in washington d. C. Hi diane first it was the haitians that was the salvadorians truckers making good on his promise to deal with immigrants legal or illegal or otherwise and that must run shivers down the spine of those wondering about their fate in the usa. Absolutely and these are some of these people have been here for as long as seventeen years that have children here that know no other home but the United States these folks might have a couple of alternatives the Administration Says that they could pursue lawful immigration now that could mean getting a work visa could also mean becoming a naturalized citizen but the problem with that is its a lengthy process and these people only have eighteen months before they have to get out of the u. S. Now the other option too is a humanitarian groups might be able to appeal to the administration to maybe extend t. P. S. One of the things that they might point to is the fact that the u. S. State department issued a travel warning it by using americans not to travel to el salvador because of Gang Activity and other crimes they also say that its mean spirited to send these immigrants back to those conditions but you know keep in mind as you said this is an administration thats been very tough on people that are undocumented here in the United States and so it may be very tough to to sway them be able to stay in the United States i mean you touched on some of the elements that those affected could sort of follow legal routes for example we see with could we see this issue end up in the cold is very similar to the muslim. Several several countries in the middle east. Well this isnt it this isnt anything where the administration is necessarily breaking the law i mean this is temporary status that was granted to these people because of a crisis. What the administration is saying is this is something thats turned in to sort of a what they call it was i permanent solution for these people they were brought over here because of a Natural Disaster in some cases some people come here because of civil wars what the administration is saying is Homeland Security has taken a look at el salvador and determined that it is safe for them to go back hospitals have been repaired homes have been rebuilt electricity has been reinstalled and so they can go back there so they could try to challenge this potentially in the courts but that could be difficult and of course you know as you say there is a precedence of people coming to the u. S. On this legislation through civil war for example many bowls of people from Bosnia Herzegovina the balkans came to the u. S. In the early ninetys what with the civil war in the former yugoslavia its only a temporary fix and it has to be understood perhaps by a rule to insert this isnt a generous gesture by the u. S. They were given you might say shelter for a short space of time or that those coming did no illusion as to what the prerequisites were for entering the us at that moment in time. Yeah youre absolutely right and in the case of the people from el salvador and people from haiti and some of these other countries like sudan in the case of el salvador this was they came here under president bush he extended it they have to it gets extended every eighteen months and other administrations have continued to extend it extended president bush then president obama now President Trump so yes this was supposed to be meant as a temporary haven for these people and then when the administration determines that its safe for them to go back then they need to go back unless they do something to apply for permanent status here in the United States as i mentioned earlier like a visa or becoming a naturalized citizen which is what happens in the coming weeks on this one for the moment thank you.
