korea's government welcomes north korea's response to yesterday's offer to restore the
public communication channel who would discuss practical affairs regarding yesterday's offer
to hold south and north korea talks. graham on webb is a research fellow at the rajaratnam
school of international studies in singapore joins us live from there good to have you
with us so first of all do you see this as a new beginning in relations between the south
and north potentially. possibly i think there's a lot of hawk in the ear of the new foreign
hawk is a warranted one because we've had a very difficult year and twenty seventy with
no regulus not being from the north koreans of any offering of olive branch or sorry towards
the other side and now we've seen a letting up until things have happened very quickly
and clearly boresight are
trying to capitalize on europe on the opportunity to try and set up the best possible stage
in order for them to talk to each other but does any of this mean that there will be negotiations
or the north will be willing to compromise on its nuclear weapons program very unlikely
i think we need to have a very modest expectation of what's in store for the upcoming dialogue
next week it's going to be very focused very narrow and very mediocre so to speak centered
around north korea's intention to send an athletic delegation to the twenty eight in
winter games in february and i think that is a modest yet law hanging fruit that both
sides should true on right now if they can get that right i'm quite certain that they
can get the bigger things right along the way so this is really a moment to sort of
secure this foothold talking to each other agreeing on something and getting something
tangible done which is has dividends on cultural on
a cultural social level between will science some analysts have said north korea's intention
in doing all of this is simply to drive a wedge between south korea and the us any sign
do you see that that might actually happen that maybe divergence between the policies
of the us and the south koreans. i think is that there's a grand design behind kim jong
un's. publication of initiatives toward ceasar i think it's it is quite clear that he is
trying to drive a wedge between board sites what he is very likely trying to do is to
soften the south and to. cleave off the solve south korea from the americans. really because
it is still foreseeable that north korea will want to carry on testing its nuclear weapons
development program is still unfinished despite what
kim jong un has said previous the completeness of that program and i think they will want
to have the south koreans are on their side in order to sort of provide an apology or
sorts should north korea resume testing and to buttress any prospect of preemption from
the americans you said earlier that if all goes well at this stage they could move on
to bigger things i simply mean the nuclear issue what would the starting point be for
negotiations were would it be where they were you know years ago the idea of completely
shutting down nuclear activities in return for food. well this is where things get very
difficult and once again are all of us serving the course of events have to manage our expectations
i think i think south korea despite holding on to its firm position and hope of didn't
do it didn't arise the asian is quite pragmatic regarding the fact that north korea is
most unlikely to denuclearize its anytime in the future that it's going to hold on to
its nuclear weapons and i think the next best thing that one can sort of focus on is to
control the political nuclear weapons from the north having crossed the threshold so
i think the the the content of the of any in soon conversations between or not in the
south is going to be quite different going forward it's going to be about crazy it's
really about arms control and trying to get north korea to behave itself and not to play
for it and build an excessive nuclear arsenal or i got to get your thoughts on that graham
on web of the u.s. president dan trump is threatening to cut aid to the palestinian
authority saying it's no longer willing to talk peace last month he angered palestinians
by recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital trump tweeted that the u.s. pays millions
of dollars of aid to the palestinian authority but gets no respect he
suggested cutting off future payments because it's been no peace talks with israel . and
washington is also threatening to cut off funding to the u.n. agency helping palestinian
refugees according to the united nations relief and works agency more than one point five
million people live in fifty eight recognized palestinian refugee camps in jordan lebanon
the gaza strip and why spanking clued in occupied east jerusalem with the us is one of the main
contributors to the un's relief agency for palestinian refugees the agency runs education
health and social programs and gave almost three hundred seventy million dollars in two
thousand and sixteen washington donates almost thirty percent of its overall funding to the
un's relief agency the u.s. says it intends to withhold more than two hundred fifty million
dollars of aid to pakistan the decision comes after the u.s. president again accused the
country of being a safe haven for terrorists rather than jordan has more from washington
d.c.
. the u.s. president doll tromped used his first tweet of two thousand and eighteen to
attack the pakistani government accuse the pakistanis of not doing enough to crack down
on groups such as the hunt khan the network or the talabani say these groups are destabilizing
not just pockets but also afghanistan to the west on tuesday the u.s. ambassador to the
united nations nikki haley made it plain that the u.s. president simply wasn't tweeting
eldred her in her words nikki haley said there are real concerns with what is a lot of bodies
dealing to fight but the u.s. calls terrorism pakistan had played a double game for years
they work with us at times and they also harbored a terrorist attack our troops in afghanistan
that game is not acceptable to this administration we expect far more cooperation from pakistan
in the fight against
terrorism in addition the state department spokesperson heather nauert told reporters
on tuesday that pakistan knows what it needs to do in order to make the region safer and
she said without going into too many details that it definitely means trying to crack down
on these groups that are doing stabilizing the region and she said that islamic bonds
complaints simply aren't going anywhere now pakistan is rejecting the u.s. on a geisha
as its envoy to the un told al jazeera we have contributed and sacrificed the most in
fighting international terrorism and carried out the largest counterterrorism operation
anywhere in the world us spokes persons should not shift the blame for their own mistakes
and failures on to all those. well they went on to say pakistan's cooperation is not based
on any consideration of aid but on our national interests and principles was offered just
palace an analyst on pakistan a professor of international relations at the university
joins us live from
islamabad good to have you with us first of all how this kind of two hundred fifty five
million dollars one hundred million dollars impact the pakistani military because it's
military aid. i think it will be going to affect. operation against the terrorists which
are you can see hiding on both side of the park started of understand bordeaux apart
from that it's really not having a direct impact on the pakistani armed forces because
this fund is meant for battle is that what we call it legion support for and so definitely
it has an impact on the war on terrorism exercises with pakistan is conducting in the meanwhile
the military operations will pakistan always seeing a trend already some might say with
the action taken yesterday against. links charities where we see more indications perhaps
of islamabad trying to take steps
to appease washington's concerns even despite the public sort of rhetoric defiant rhetoric
from islamabad. i think that i guess half of save them and then is organization whatever
the park star has been taking the action it out of very much consideration of pakistan's
own internal security it has nothing to do to appease united states ought to appease
india higher but it will be having a soothing impact on the americans but the americans
are not asking about the hospice practically they are asking about the how can you network
with pakistan is denying that carly network i mean the from the taliban fighting all good
that it does not possess any safe haven in pakistan because since yesterday our before
yesterday if you see pakistan has once again to be treated is that there is no see if i
haven't thought of anyone as i understand that so my question is despite that sort of
public position will we see pakistan perhaps try and take steps whether
it's against the how can the network or the taliban i'm sure you're aware of the well
publicized claims of links between the pakistani intelligence service i.s.i. and some of those
groups my mentions. let me here submit that since one year buck standard americans perception
on the mortalities on of understand have been working americans have been alleging or they
were asking about do more in pakistan know became frustrated all you can see start saying
no more we have to not forget here it's not only a one star carly network there are bigger
game which we call it alignment in the international politics and pakistan is drifting towards
euro ition alliances like china and that is not acceptable to the american if you recall
two thousand same two national security strategy which was released by the driver in a speech
on the agent december two thousand same thing that indie kids balance of
power would that indicate stand as a period of skewed to complete data whereas pakistan
is against trenton i think that since one year pakistan has been preparing to respond
or to build this kind of a burden that's why in pakistan if you see public uproar it is
one side but on the other side of the garment the armed forces are under pressure because
no one was willing to go home and is likely to turn in because of peace america pakistan
still receives hundreds of millions of dollars of aid from the u.s. although there's been
this cut do you see a situation which pakistan could completely shift its alliances and dependency
on other countries. i think that it has been already shifted but stance economic dependencies
on the other countries because they have no more providing substantial economic aid whatever
they were providing pakistani government stances that they were providing as a call your sport
fund here we do not forget americans they're using box start as
a transit they're using pakistan's road network they're using pakistan to relive a network
they were using pakistan's port and now the pakistanis are taking a public has a big demand
that there's a need to share the details of this fun and it is what we have charged them
because we were not given charging them anything else good to get your analysis on that is
often just. still ahead on al-jazeera. we don't get ahead of sanctions but that is one
tool kit. the u.s. considers action against iran for its handling of antigovernment protests
