US and North Korea: Will there be a breakthrough?

This week US President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong-Un will be meeting for the second time at a summit in Vietnam. Their last meeting in Singapore was historic - but observers felt little was achieved with no explicit demand for North Korea to denuclearise. The US President has talked up his strong relationship with his counter part. But will there be any substantial progress in Hanoi?
