Here is a brief look at Press TV Newsroom's headlines from 09:00 GMT to 17:00 GMT, May 28, 2018.
Inter-Korea talks
South Korean President Moon Jae-in has called for more talks with the North in a bid to expedite advancement of inter-Korean relations. Moon hailed his Saturday’s surprise summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, saying the meeting was easily arranged. Moon and Kim held talks in the border village of Panmunjom and agreed that a North Korea-US summit must be held. Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump called off a planned summit with Kim, blaming “tremendous anger and open hostility” from the North. Shortly after, he said the meeting could still be held. Washington wants a complete denuclearization of North Korea.
Italy interim PM
Italy’s interim prime minister says he will put together a government quickly to set the stage for new elections. Cottarelli previously served as a top official in the International Monetary Fund. He is known for his pro-austerity policies. Italy’s role in the European Union and the euro zone will be key issues in Italy’s new elections. The country is the eurozone’s third largest economy.
Kashmir killing
A clash between Indian troops and pro-independence fighters kills two people in Indian-controlled Kashmir. An Indian army spokesman said Kashmiris killed one soldier after they attacked an army post south of Srinagar. One civilian also died in the exchange of fire. In a separate attack, a roadside bomb went off in Kashmir’s Shopian district, injuring three soldiers. Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since the end of British rule in 1947. The two have fought two wars over the region ever since. The wars have killed thousands on both sides.
EU against US
The EU Foreign Policy Chief says the 28-nation bloc supports European companies and businesses in Iran against the US threat of sanctions. Federica Mogherini made the remarks at the end of the EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels. She said the top European officials in the summit discussed ways to preserve the agreement. Mogherini said the bloc is determined to continue implementing the historic accord and is working on a package of measures to preserve the deal. She highlighted the deal’s importance and said it guarantees the security of the Middle East.
India-Iran ties
India says it only abides by the UN sanctions against Iran and not unilateral measures by other countries. Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj said New Delhi will not make foreign policy decisions under pressure from others. She was responding to a question on India’s response to the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Swaraj later met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. The Indian government issued a statement following their meeting. It said New Delhi wants the nuclear deal’s signatories to engage constructively with Tehran.
Israel pounds Gaza
Israeli tank fire kills a Palestinian man in the Gaza Strip. The shelling hit a post belonging to a Palestinian resistance group. The Israeli army also claims its forces arrested two Palestinians while they were crossing the fence in Gaza. Earlier, a 28-year-old Palestinian died of his injuries sustained last week in the Jabalia refugee camp. The deaths bring to at least 126, the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel since March 30. That was when the Great March of Return rallies began. Thousands more have been injured during the period.
