Travelled by armoured train, he is paranoid about security and so trips are fraught with dangers and it is possible that that is the reason that the us decided to release this, that the us decided to release this, that they hope to spook kim jong un by making this meeting so public and putting the eyes of the world on him and on this travel, that he will decide it is just too dangerous to go and by thwarting the meeting they probably hope they can thwart the arms deal. The us priority in all this right now seems to be to stop these weapons getting to the front line, but here in south korea, the concern runs deeper, it is want what does this mean for future north korea russia cooperation . Russia is desperate and it is expected that mr kim would put a high price on any weapons he would sell the russian leader, the things that people here worry about could this mean increased military cooperation between north korea and russia, would desee Military Drills like the us, south korea and japan co ordinating, a fear is that mr kim might ask for weapons when north korea needs them most, by far the biggest worry is he could demand from mr putin, to provide key pieces of advanced technology, technology that would help mr kim be able to make progress, on his Nuclear Weapons programme but whatever he gets in return from mr putin, if this deal were to go ahead, if it werejust food, oil, money, these are all things that the north korean regime needs so much, and it would be provide it with a lifeline to be able to put that money into its Nuclear Weapons programme, so whatever it gets from russia, it could end up going into north korean weapons.

Tell us more about what russia could get out of this, what i russia could get out of this, what do we know about what north korea has to offer in terms of weaponry . What we know so far or what we understand to be the case is than russia would receive help in north korean armoury whether it is shells and other types of arms itself needs in the war in ukraine, and that is something we believe is where russia is hurting because of global sanction, so that, in that sense it would be a pretty big win for russia if it is able to receive north korean arms and help in that sense, but this also points to a bigger concern a more geopolitical and strategic concern in this part of the world, because if we see russia, north korea and even china, we are seeing that the triangle, the relationship strengthen, that is cause for concern because we are seeing already the United States south korea, japan strengthening their relation, new york you has been calling that triangle a new so called new cold war arrange, and so called new cold war arrange, and so it would not come as a surprise that the other three, the three autocratic regimes in the region would also want to strengthen their relations if they start conducting trilateral military exercises of their own if that continues to escalate, if there is a miscalculation that would be a major concern.

The schools minister nick gibb defended the government after criticism of its approach to carrying out eseason shay shall maintenance on School Building in england, more that 100 school will remain fully or pal chalet close over concerns over crumbling concrete and there are questions about how many more would be affected but nick gibb said the governments response to the crisis has been world leading.

What nick gibb has been doing today, is defending rishi doing today, is defending rishi sunak, and that is because yesterday, the Prime Minister was dragged to the heart of this issue, we had a former head of the Department For Education, where nick gibb is a now a minister, Department For Education, where nick gibb is a nowa minister, claiming that when rishi sunak was chancellor, he cut funding for rebuilding schools, the kinds of schools that might now be those affected by this dangerous concrete and what nick gibb said was no, that is not right, rishi sunak kept School Rebuilding at broadly the level it always has been under the conservative government. The issue is that nick gibb confirmed that nevertheless, the Department For Education asked for more money from rishi sunak, and he or at least the treasury under his command said no, so while he is defending rishi sunak, he did basically confirm one of the big political issues here, which is that we are being told that education officials said to another part of the government, we need more money to fix these schools and the trishry under the now Prime Ministers leadership said no.

Staying with the environment and a bbc investigation suggests that three major Water Companies in the uk illegally discharged Sewage Hundreds Of Times last year, on days when it was not raining. The practice known as dry spilling is banned because it can lead to higher concentration of sewage in a waterway, here is our environment Correspondentjohanna Fisher it stipes but it is legal . Raw sewage was released on england beaches and into rivers more than 300,000 times last year. Some of it was allow odd.

Over the last few years the Water Companies have been forced by the government report details of when and where they discharge raw sewage. It is only supposed to happen when the system is overwhelmed, after heavy rainfall or snow. It is not supposed to take place as it did here, during periods of dry weather. So how common are these dry spills . To find out the bbc requested details from all nine english Water Companies. Three of the largest complied, providing us with huge amounts of data. We then cross referenced that with rainfall, and found what looks like nearly 400 sewage spills, lasting thousands of hours, that started during dry weather. Shew; started during dry weather. Any sill we started during dry weather. Any spill we can started during dry weather. Jiffy spill we can verify that has taken place during a dry spill condition would be illegal, against thor mitt.
