Trump says summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un may be delayed
US President Donald Trump has said there is a "very substantial chance" a historic summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un next month may not happen.
He said the North must meet conditions for the summit to go ahead though if it did not, it might happen "later".
Mr Trump was speaking as he received South Korea's President Moon Jae-in at the White House.
The North has said it may cancel the summit if the US insists on it giving up nuclear weapons unilaterally.
Mr Trump did not say what conditions the US had set for the summit but, asked by a reporter about the North's arsenal, he said "denuclearisation must take place".
Illegal online sales of endangered wildlife rife in Europe
Exclusive: Study finds 12,000 items worth $4m, including ivory, live orangutans and a huge number of reptiles and birds for the pet trade
The online sale of endangered and threatened wildlife is rife across Europe, a new investigation has revealed, ranging from live cheetahs, orangutans and bears to ivory, polar bear skins and many live reptiles and birds.
Researchers from the International Fund for Animal Welfare (Ifaw) spent six weeks tracking adverts on 100 online marketplaces in four countries, the UK, Germany, France and Russia. They found more than 5,000 adverts offering to sell almost 12,000 items, worth $4m (£3m) in total. All the specimens were species in which trade is restricted or banned by the global Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species.
Armed Rohingya group massacred Hindus in Myanmar, Amnesty International report alleges
'It’s hard to ignore the sheer brutality of ARSA’s actions, which have left an indelible impression on the survivors we’ve spoken to'Jeremy B White San Francisco
An armed Rohingya group carried out at least one massacre of Hindu villagers in Myanmar’s conflict-wracked Rakhine state, an Amnesty International report has concluded.
Ethnic conflict has convulsed the southeast Asian country in recent years, with the military accused of slaughtering members of the Muslim Rohingya minority in the majority-Buddhist country.
But the new report from the human rights organisation suggests that a Rohingya group known as the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) killed up to 99 Hindu women, men and children while also abducting Hindu villagers.
Italy's rising populism leaves refugee aid workers worried over immigration reform
A refugee NGO in Italy is hoping that the country's new populist government will fail to implement the hardline immigration reforms promised during the election campaign. DW's Bernd Riegert reports from Rome.
"Sometimes, we take the migrants to a bar in the neighborhood after class," says Chiara Bergamini, an Italian language teacher for the nongovernmental aid organization In Migrazione. "In general, the people at the bar are opposed to migrants, but not to those we bring along."
That's how she describes the popular sentiment toward asylum seekers in the country. People take a different point of view once they've seen and spoken to a migrant, Bergamini says.
The young Americans trying to stop Ireland from voting Yes to abortion
Updated 0724 GMT (1524 HKT) May 23, 2018
Emily Faulkner is in central Dublin, handing out leaflets featuring fetuses in various stages of development, when she's pelted by an egg.
Covered in yolk, she turns to her fiancé, Nathan Berning, who has a GoPro video camera mounted on his chest.
"Did you get that on tape? Is it on, babe? Turn it on," she says.
As Faulkner wipes the mess from her face, a fellow anti-abortion campaigner approaches her, saying she'll be calling the police to have a look.
"Ok," Faulkner says with a smile. "I'm excited."
With just days until Ireland votes in a referendum on whether to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the constitution -- which places the right to life of an unborn child on equal footing with that of the mother -- campaigners have become increasingly confrontational in their tactics.
LESLEY STAHL: DONALD TRUMP SAID HE ATTACKS THE MEDIA “SO WHEN YOU WRITE NEGATIVE STORIES ABOUT ME, NO ONE WILL BELIEVE YOU”
IN AN APPEARANCE Monday night at the annual Deadline Club Awards Dinner in New York City, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl said that President Trump privately told her just after the 2016 election that he attacks the media as part of a conscious strategy to protect himself from damaging coverage.
Stahl stated that the conversation took place in Trump’s office at Trump Tower before she spoke to him for “60 Minutes” in his first post-election interview. According to Stahl, there were three people present: herself, her boss, and Trump.
Trump, she said, attacked the media during the meeting, and she asked him why he was continuing to do it after he’d won. Trump responded: “You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.”
