BBC World Service - Newshour, Kim Jong-un to Meet South Korean Leader

The leaders of North and South Korea will meet in the first such summit in over a decade

The leaders of North and South Korea will meet next month in the first such summit in more than a decade.

The leaders of North and South Korea have agreed to meet on the border next month, in the first such summit in over a decade. South Korea says the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has suggested he would be willing to discuss getting rid of nuclear weapons if the country's security could be guaranteed.

Also in the programme: The mystery surrounding the sudden illness of a former Russian double agent in the UK; and the perspective of an American woman living in Syria's Eastern Ghouta.
