Pyongyang, North Korea
North Koreans perform during the inter-Korean summit at the May Day stadium in Pyongyang. South Korean president Moon Jae-in announced in a joint press conference with Kim Jong-un that North Korea will shut down key missile test facilities in the presence of ‘international experts’ and is willing to close its only known nuclear complex if the United States makes reciprocal measures.

Pyongyang, North Korea
South Korean president Moon Jae-in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as North Korean first lady Ri Sol-ju and South Korean first lady Kim Jung-sook attend a luncheon at the Okryu-gwan restaurant in Pyongyang. The two leaders agreed during the three-day summit to connect two rail lines, on the east and west side of the peninsula, across one of the most militarized borders in the world. Kim also said he would visit Seoul in the ‘near future’, a move that would make him the first North Korean leader to visit the South’s capital.

Lima, Peru
A television screen in the Napoleon restaurant broadcasts Peru’s prime minister César Villanueva speaking in the Legislative Palace chamber where lawmakers are debating president Martín Vizcarra’s call for a referendum on anti-corruption measures. If congress refuses to back his plan, Vizcarra will be empowered to dissolve the legislature, something that hasn’t happened since the authoritarian government of Alberto Fujimori in 1992.

Binnish, Syria
Syrians dance and wave opposition flags in front of a damaged building during a protest against the Syrian government at Binnish in the northern rebel-held province of Idlib. The immediate risk of a humanitarian disaster in the last major Syrian rebel enclave appears to have been averted by a joint Russian-Turkish plan to set up a demilitarized zone as a buffer between the Syrian army and the rebels. The plan was agreed by Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, at a bilateral summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
