welcome back. a reminder of our top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump says he will declare a national emergency to secure funding for a border war with mexico congress passed a spending bill to avoid another government shutdown which denies trump the money he needs to build the barrier. india's government is promising a strong response against pakistan which it blames for the worst attack in indian administered kashmir for decades at least forty four indian soldiers were killed by a car bomb in the territory. venezuela's supreme court has ruled to the opposition appointed oil executives must face criminal prosecution the opposition controlled congress named a new board of directors for the stage oil giant as well as its u.s. subsidiary a move welcomed by washington. chinese president xi jinping is expected to meet key

members of a u.s. trade delegation as part of efforts to end a trade war between the world's two largest economies u.s. treasury secretary steve in beijing to work out an agreement on terrorists the two sides are trying to reach a deal before march the fest when the u.s. plans to increase levies on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports while agent brown joins us live from beijing adrian very few details of what's been discussed or agreed have emerged how all these talks going. well it's a bit like groundhog day these talks just seem to go on and on and it becomes incredibly repetitive but i think possibly now we maybe see the beginnings of a light at the end of the tunnel it's a very long tunnel though it seems that we're possibly going to see that the framework of an agreement possibly later today the deals with the issue of

terrorists i think a best we're going to see a partial deal the stars here but not one that deals with some of the major concerns that the united states has right now remember president donald trump has been calling on china to make wholesale structural reforms to its economy to basically change the entire way the president xi jinping manages and operates his economy but that's simply not going to happen so i think what will happen is the two sides will possibly agree to disagree but to carry on negotiations to see if they can bridge the gaps on those important areas now this is you know a very important year for china and these talks have to be seen in that context because in october it will be exactly seventy years since the communists came to power in that revolution and this is a year when china's president has to appear strong both domestically as well as internationally that's why overall i don't see him backing down but like president

trump he does want there to be a deal because he has a number of economic problems right now manufacturing output is continuing to contract consumer spending is flat lining and economic growth is now at its lowest level in thirty years and then of course president trump would like a deal this trade dispute has hit share values in the united states and of course very soon he's going to have to start thinking about reelection aaron as you say there are so many sticking point from these talks is it going to be possible to resolve all of them even if there is an extension. i don't i think it's going to be a bit like you know the brics it negotiations you know in europe this is something that could go on not just for months but but but for years and what china in the past to pose proves itself to be very good at being you know the master of playing for time president xi jinping is the master of the deal but i think president xi

jinping is very much you know the master of playing for time and if as expected there is an extension to these talks it's been reported in bloomberg that these talks who could be extended or the period for negotiations could be extended by another sixty days then that would be very much a victory for president xi out of there is adrian brown there for us in beijing thank you for that update adrian well britain's prime minister to resign may has suffered another defeat after m.p.'s rejected a motion to endorse her government's approach to brecht's that the u.k. is due to leave the european union on march the twenty ninth from london barco reports eyes to the right two hundred fifty eight the news of the last three hundred three. a humiliating blow for the british prime minister she'd hoped for a straightforward parliamentary vote reaffirming her efforts to really go shoot a revised exit deal with brussels so they know. that many

northern ireland and the republic of ireland this latest vote isn't legally binding but it's a huge embarrassment for the government especially was trying to secure concessions from brussels. before the vote britain's bracks and secretary said the government's main goal is to produce a deal the whole of parliament to support. as we prepared to exit the european union this government is focused on its most pressing task to deliver a legally binding change to the backstop and we are committed to delivering on the key demand to resume as promised parliament will have another chance to express his opinion on how it plans at the end of the month before that it's a race against time to find fresh common ground with the e.u. . the hopes of a significant breakthrough are slim brussels insists it will not reopen the original withdrawal agreement or change its position on the irish border. theresa

to this new york neighborhood brought cheers from city council member jimmy bramer and a grassroots coalition of opponents amazon chose to walk away rather than fight for what it believed in. but not everyone was celebrating. oh some local residents came out to heckle the politician a minute upset over the loss of jobs amazon had promised to bring twenty five thousand of them and local investment these guys didn't act on the behest of the community act in the behest of their own political careers period new york's mayor and governor were among dozens around the country that fought to woo amazon offering nearly three billion dollars in tax incentives and construction grants to bring the company right to this neighborhood in new york city but almost as soon as the deal was announced there was opposition and backlash. local legislators who weren't consulted on the deal held hearings and citizens berated amazon

representatives concerned about increasing congestion as well as the cost of living in their neighborhood. while property owners and some trade unions favored the deal and the revenue it would bring other unions complained about the company's labor practices and you know there's no reason that we should have ever been giving or even considering giving three billion dollars to the richest corporation in the entire world and the richest man in the entire world amazon said in a statement that it was clear they didn't have the necessary support of local politicians the polls show the move was supported by seventy percent of new yorkers the governor called it a loss but i've never seen a more absurd situation where political pandering and obvious pandering so defeat it's a bona fide economic development project amazon says it will not look for a replacement site at this time instead focusing on its existing offices and

now and welcome to the program i'm elizabeth purana passengers and pilots love it a line accountants dread paying the super sized which is why the a three eighty is having its ones clipped permanently bosses pulling the plug on the world's largest passenger plane after its because customer emirates airline canceled dozens of deliveries when it first took off fourteen years ago a bus hoped what it called its giant cruise line in the sky would fly long into the twenty first century but twenty twenty one is the date set for the final double decker to roll off the production line in southern france thousands of jobs are threatening the european aerospace industry as natasha butler explains from h.q. and to news. well that bus bosses here in to do say that this is a very disappointing and painful moment for them they have announced the end all of the a three eighty jet they say will end its production in twenty twenty one now this is a plane that's called the super jumbo by aviation funds it is the world's biggest

passenger jessica carrying more than five hundred and forty people is a double decker a feat of engineering but over the years it has been plagued by delays and delivery rising costs and forwarding orders the final blow though was the fact that the divide based airline emirates decided to reduce one of its orders by thirty nine planes not simply meant for the a three eighty could not survive i think what we're seeing here is the end of a large four engine aircraft and that is what it is i mean there's been speculation . for years whether we were ten years to even three eighty three becomes clear when we were probably at least ten years too late or more but in retrospect it's it's all easy however let me stress one point g.m. and i hope you appreciate because i know many of you would love to fly on a three eighty we're talking about the end of the production of the free in twenty twenty

one we're not talking about the end of the program obviously airbus will support these what is it two hundred twenty something aircraft that are in operation or where with many airlines or back in two thousand and five when the a three eighty was the words of lots of fanfare at the paris air show last bosses said then that they hoped that this plane would revolutionize long haul travel the idea was a big plane that would carry a maximum amount of passengers from hub to hub but i think it is the trying to make nations actually build towards smaller planes more fuel efficient aircraft and that's something the air boss will now focus more on in terms of the impact on the company will process say. some three thousand five hundred positions of course the european play maker could be affected and they will be talks with unions and representatives to see what will happen to those jobs in the future we talked about look for inside story into those fronts.

but let's bring in i guess now joining us from toulouse where is headquartered is aviation analyst alex the chair to us david lee amount is a consulting editor for flight global and he's joining us from london and andre switchman is managing director at the center for aviation competence at the university of st gallon in switzerland a very warm welcome to all of you missed i'm a chair so i'll start with you since you are into news that was that debuted with solid much fanfare in two thousand and five why do you think the a three eighty failed. well the a three eighty perhaps chain a little too late this is a model of an aircraft that was able to get either blanched around us to our lines wishing to install a lot of seating capacity in terms of passenger accommodation but also be home so luxury a spouse class cabins or social areas and more but ultimately the production's hind leg up actually tried to secure its place in the market the airlines woke up and

started to calm and backtrack we want more efficient smaller aircraft as they worked out how that routes will pull me out similarly these aircraft like the a three fifty which more up and coming out they have six of the better markets and then the eighth grade c. and they are much younger and as a result the production has now come to an abrupt end and this amount we heard from airbus c.e.o. who said that you know was ten years too late for the a three eighty and was suppose to revenue shinai as air travel or did it find that the skies had moved on the skies were always going to move on. airbus has done a great job with this airplane it's going to be with us for a very long time emirates will be operating these aircraft for at least another twenty years and maybe another forty maybe another thirty years because they are excellent technically they're brilliant and passengers absolutely love them and they do carry an awful lot of people but the only of the only routes they're very

good for is the world's great trunk routes now as it happens some most of the world's a lot of the world's great trunk groups go straight through dubai so we're still going to see lots of a three eighty s. operating out of big hubs but meanwhile the smaller airplanes have just as long range and they're more efficient so they can bypass the hubs and take people from their own local airports to exactly where they want to go as to what air bus says that the last. three eighty s will be delivered in twenty twenty one as a mistily amount has pointed out the saying emirates rather is saying that they are going to be using the a three eighty two at least the twenty thirty s. do you think that that is likely and how do they use it in a way that is economical. yes i think that's very likely i mean these planes. have been delivered just lately already delivered until twenty twenty one will

probably be flying in the next twenty years even twenty five years. i also think that on the trunk routes very you have a lot of passengers on the on those big global transfer routes where the middle easterns especially are carrying passengers they will be able to to use those planes as in the past successfully. but the industry as a whole will move towards more. flights to also secondary airports to have more point important direct connections mr much air as if the industry is moving towards more as we say point to point flights what does that mean for the dream you know so many airlines like emirates built the build the industry around being a hub. exactly the hub and spoke more though it's very popular especially in the middle east and you have to buy and who specialize in bringing passengers into that

terminals to be able to pass through an exit within an arab to predominantly on a three eighty s. actually but that happens spoke more to is a dying want to it's quite dated and with the introduction of these new aircraft ultimately there is no real needs to just stop even the airlines who are based in the gulf are waiting out it is just last week i was in the c.e.o. of that where is he it's going to be revealed that he will only keep the a three eighty s. until the ten year mark and he told me after the ten year mark is replacing the rosie with triple seven x. by boeing which he feels is a far more superior jet in terms of efficiency and economics which ultimately is the bottom line for every airline and slim and what does that mean then for air bus how damaging is this for the airline. well it's damaging it's frankly because the numbers of these are small even though the individual cost of each aircraft is

large they're going to make a loss on on the on the project as a whole in that i reckon that is that being estimated about about five hundred million dollars they will never recover so it's a loss but airbus is just had it published its. third quarter figures today and they are extremely good and what's more at the same time as the emirates announced that it was canceling the a three eighty s. it put in a massive order for a three thirty's and a three fifty s. so airbus is doing all right thank you very much it will survive this and mr went but what about the three thousand to three thousand five hundred workers workers involved in the a three eighty will they survive and their cross-country is there not just until they are also in wales and they're in how birds are in bristol. and

i think that atlas will have to think about how to use the infrastructures that have built in the last decade for a forty year plus three eighty and as you see growth in the production of airplanes and growth in the market on growth for our airplanes like a three fifty s. and eighty's thirty's i think their boss needs to figure out how to reuse those infrastructures and also dose educated employees i think. will try to keep as many of those specialists for further growth of the company but you're never sure about whether all it can be the staying with the company of course and so much as you touched on this earlier on how specially those that you know whose home countries are a hub are going to manage the sort of changing trends and travel where people might not be likely to fly the super long hole or on you know jumbo jets like the a three

eighty as much as most of point to point travel on smaller flights so again you know how do they go about navigating these these changes right now. well the airlines have been adapting to what is the current aviation climate in terms of the aircraft that they want ready an aircraft such as the airbus a three fifty of course manufactured in solution the stuff that is through fifty has already secured a lot of the market share that would have typically years go on to the a three eighty so that's how elements of the programs out that's hanging zelig objects like the well they take jets of the boeing competition not the triple seven x. which should end so just this year because they're going to next year and automatically with that through that new deliveries and through that usually recycle a bit more efficient jets they're able to improve their bottom line financials and there i want to look announcement leave the airlines that are still left with a three eighty s. last the new waiver is becoming increasingly frustrated with the three fifties or

superior in terms of efficiency and economics but you should still hold the fact that that creates he is very much luck and ultimately when you speak to the average astronaut that flight with an outdated messages of passengers would tell me that allowed for that three eighty lives in your cabin plus it's so the three eighty will still you know hold that significant place in at trial and it was doing me around for many many years to come there is a reason on going this year now we ain't a creative deliveries everest was taken on the board scene and japan's largest airline and i say there will be the first japanese islands to take the rootsy this year so there is still a milestone has to come but ultimately for production it has always been a bleak outlook at least for recent years so it isn't the most unexpected news this morning if you're into lose mr lamb and how do you think other airlines will be looking on at this news as a possibly even good news for say airlines like air france lufthansa that also

invested in the a three eighty but you know will they be relieved to say something like the a three eighty removed from gulf rivals like emirates who they accuse of are flooding the market. yes they do but then they would wouldn't say no i don't think it's going to make any any real difference to these because i think that the the gulf carriers will continue to use the a three eighty s. for a long time yet so that competition is going to be there for air france and co air france doesn't have all that many a three eighty s. but it does have routes on which it can use them the transatlantic routes for example so you know they the the routes through the gulf are not the only one of the world's trunk routes there are trunk routes out of london frankfurt tokyo you know which can support aircraft like these and the passengers absolutely

love them and mr what do you think that if we're moving away from the trunk for its why are we seeing a greater demand for more efficient aircraft and the trend of aviation well what i think is the world we see a lot of growth especially coming from the area of asia pacific maybe in the future olsen's towards ceasars towards africa so i do see some of the chunk routes are between for example africa and asia in the future and they are seen now on the area between europe and asia for example and i think that these routes will still grow and we have limited capacity as a fair points especially in europe we are not constructing enough it's a runway is to to grow and so there is an argument for the big planes for the next

decade or so and that's also when you're in three eighty roads because they'll be in there in operation. mr musharraf so the a three eighty as you know you will made the point it will remain in operation but also smaller more efficient planes are going to be used more and more as we've seen from the recent orders why do you again why do you think there is that trend to words using smaller more efficient planes. oxman leave their right to your presents i mean the eighth rate is so out leaves a lot of availability empty seats so in terms of low factor it is a riskier jets to operate because of its many with more seats is more opportunity not selling enough tickets and having to fly half empty and that's a risk that alan's once music but the main overriding risk in all of this isn't necessarily the aircraft it's so it's not the design it's not the aerodynamics it's the engines and given that the a three eighty has four engines that are not the

most efficient now day twenty nine they were when the truth was introduced but compared with the offerings a rolls royce and assume a legend manufacture is now two thousand and i can see its engines do not wake up and airlines were very vocal over the last five years sets and asked if they were able to offer a re engine version of reality that basically had the efficiencies of what aircraft like the a three fifty enjoy then they would be more inclined survive but never say that the business case for a neo a new engine option. was not something that they could get their heads around it wasn't something that they met that i ensure was and they didn't think it would insure problems ability so it's a kind of rest of them starts where the manufacturer really disagreed with what the airlines were asking for because typically they just they just listen and do as they say and it's an at least here we are with no reengineer. and no orders as

a result and mr lamont to think that boeing you know there is a great wildly between airbus and boeing have had they gained where airbus has lost have they met the sort of markets demands better than airbus has. i don't think they have i mean both of the both of those companies are really prospering they both have a super brain of products but there's no question about it regarding the a three eighty boeing predicted in the nine hundred ninety s. when the a three eighty was under development that the world the work the way the world networks was going to change and it would go more and more point to point and therefore boeing decided not to do a successor mega jumbo to its boeing seven four seven however it did upgrade it seven four seven in what's now known as the seven four seven eight and that is

still in production and it's not going to be canceled but the numbers coming off the line are rather smaller than they used to be and almost all of them are going as being purchased as pure freighters which is not too surprising a region the boeing seven four seven was made as a military freighter and developed into what we now know and mr which may you know when the seven four seven didn't fall out of favor there for a while it was used i believe for cargo but that's just not feasible as it would the a three eighty well i think airbus has an order of product for a four car or cons to below ground which theory also for four very big fright and special shaped fright there are selling. i do not think there is a need for focusing on concourse the a tree eighty. the cement chairs how much of the demanding things that are smaller

planes that we've been talking about how much of the demand is being driven by the sort of. rise of flow cost budget carrier. sergeant just if i just want to clarify that one point the absolute is actually meant in-house transports are only between the air bus sites it's a common misconception that's not actually a cargo jet or sound that with an air bus it's not part of that cargo jet but i ask you a question in terms of demands of a low cost the threat of low cost airlines and. also a sellers admit that they didn't take them seriously enough years ago and now when low cost long haul is booming more than it ever has before and we have operators all over the world in every continent from europe doing transatlantic to asia and subsidiaries of airline brands that are so famous singapore airlines offer

a low cost long haul. that is a quarter a fraction of the price of a regular super and wants to get airlines are still focused on that bottom line more and as the cost of air travel is being driven down ultimately the airlines at item margins they need to find new and creative ways basically become more popular and hers doing well mr near mt you know when. the price of travel going down and with the rise of budget airlines are the budget airlines doing better than the more traditional carriers. will that they're all doing quite well at the moment the if you look at the world as a whole the big picture is this. for all the bad news we hear about conflicts and you know economic problems between america and china the world is gradually getting richer people are gradually getting

a higher disposal disposable income and one of the first things that people do when they get above basically survival wages one of the first things they spend their money on is air travel they want to go places and so air travel is booming when everything when a lot of other industries are struggling so the airlines and the aircraft manufacturers are all doing well meeting this ever increasing demand for which nobody sees the moment any sign of a downturn so everybody is happy low cost carriers and the traditional carriers too and mr whitman if you know everyone in the industry is doing well if as mr near mount says both boeing and airbus are doing well and airlines for their budget a more traditional carrier is doing well i mean how do you compete an end history like that when there was so much demand for travel. i may not agree i mean not all airlines do well i mean especially in europe we have seen

a few bankruptcies the last couple of years and especially this year already so i think the big network galen's on its need of more traditional airlines of the past are doing rather well and and their specially locus their lines on the regional scale are going also very well if you look at low cost airlines going on the medium haul to long haul then the numbers don't look as promising then on the short told so there are challenges in the industry of course and if we assume further increases in fuel prices in the future they may be challenge. with their costs again and the rather low prices that. demands on the market will be a challenge for them so i do see a challenging industry that is doing rather well at the moment. but the growth of the it looks at the growth of the industry to growth of demand is also needed to

have success in the future and missed a much as how do you say the industry the state of the industry at the moment and what it means for you know the travelers and for consumers. if so it's very fragmented and divided up into divisions of the previous gentleman just senate hearing your we have a very big problem with consolidation but also in overcapacity there is simply too much capacity within europe there are too many airlines flying the same route and the current price level the current cost of being able to fly let's say from here in france to italy is not sustainable it's not sustainable that any airlines and this is why we often see airlines collapse because combine that with the globally higher fuel price it's calmed down quite a bit since the new year two thousand and eighteen was really the year that airlines are set to the fluctuating oil price it has been a very and an unstable twelve months but on the whole the airline is that what

we're really doing well. is that we're fragile have either disappeared or they marched out with another fragile player so if almost sony's day when i missed a game until i got about thirty seconds left i'll give you the last line that's that that's a picture of the last twelve months in the industry had you say the next well. i don't see any great changes i think this this a free ice you demise the news story it's big but all of us in the industry we're expecting news it's not a surprise to anybody least of all it's not a surprise to the lines they're ready for the future the way it's going to be all right mr chairman thank you very much for that and we'll have to end it on that note ready for the future i'd like to thank all of i guess that is alex the chair s. and to stay with the amount in london and andreas what and saying gallon and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website alexander dot com and for further discussion do go to our facebook page that's

facebook dot com forward slash a.j. and side story you can also join the conversation on twitter i handle this at a.j. inside story from me as a product and the whole team here in doha buy from them. a team of chinese scientists embark on a daring deep sea mission searching for rare resources and new species one of the nice reveals china's underwater hunt. on al-jazeera. if you want to learn above the world might look like very soon regards hundred and hungary's in the extreme example of the predicament the whole world is going through. since mass immigration story we had one question is within the cultures and the problems that the culture of that is you. so it's

a rating to us is or is not comfortable with european culture this is not like the old fascist. triumphal march. dreams of conquest and of global trial. this is very very uneventful glide towards the precipice without resistance we are past the danger has already happened. it was then just ten years ago. now this is it. the two thousand mile trip across europe seems impossible. as the balkans route begins to close for refugees it has become a race against time for one syrian family. except perilous journey from greece to germany but there's no turning back to the ravages of war left at home.

sky and ground a witness documentary on al-jazeera. al-jazeera . where every. the u.s. congress reaches a border security compromise to avoid a government shutdown but president trump is threatening his own action. hello i'm the star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. india vows

to isolate pakistan after an attack an indian administered kashmir which is blamed on as i'm about. breaking his silence haiti's president rejects demands from protesters to step down but calls for dialogue after a week of demonstrations. and taking its business elsewhere why amazon no longer wants to set up shop in new york. u.s. president donald trump is on a collision course with democrats in congress saying he will declare a national emergency to secure funding for a border war with mexico a bill to avoid another government shutdown was polished by both houses on thursday but it denies trump the money he needs to build the barrier john hendren has more from washington d.c. i actually think it's bad politics is president trump ended one showdown with

congress he set off another eighty three. naser sixty ending the threat of another government shutdown the senate and house of representatives passed a spending bill that does not include the five point seven billion dollars president trump wanted for a border wall with mexico but as the president signaled he would sign that measure the white house said trump will also declare a national emergency on the border giving him access to contingency funds that congress has already approved he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time and i've indicated to him that i'm going to prepare. the national emergency declaration democratic leaders immediately promise to challenge president trump couldn't convince mexico he couldn't convince the american people he couldn't convince their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall so now he's trying an end run around congress in

a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it make no mistake. congress will defend our constitutional authorities in every way that we can democrats say it's hard to argue that illegal immigration is a crisis when border arrests are at a forty year low we will review our options with hair to respond appropriately to it i know the republicans have some an ease about it no matter what they say because if the president can to clear an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency an illusion that he wants to convey just think of what a president with different values can present to the american people democrats and even some republicans warn the president is setting a dangerous precedent opening the door for future presidents to achieve unilaterally what they could not get out of congress a future democratic president could one day declare global warming or gun violence

to be national emergencies the democrats who control the house have already signaled they will vote on a bill to block emergency funding for a border wall but in the republican controlled senate that measure is unlikely to pass if trump can overcome a certain court challenge that would give him the chance to fulfill his promise to funded two thousand mile wall if not the promise that mexico would pay for it john hendren. washington. india's government has promising a strong response against pakistan which and blames for the west attack an indian administered kashmir and decades at least forty four indian soldiers were killed by a car bomb. the. group says it was behind the attack pakistan's foreign ministry has denied allegations that it supports the group india has vowed to isolate as on the bad and remove its trade privileges. chaldea is dean of the general school of international affairs and joins us now on skype from sunup india professor india

and pakistan already have a strained relationship how will this attack affect that. think bottom already. it's only going to good people into the negative now unfortunately these that are that. being perpetrated on indian soil from across the border by this groups which are sheltered and sponsored by the pakistani state or statman do not make americans illegal anyone any worse than it cannot make it better than he was already it's quite screen as you write and i think india is looking at military options that are diplomatic solution possible resumption of surgical strikes that mr prime minister more than are getting two thousand and sixteen there are a whole gamut of you know retaliatory measures to try and establish deterrence as far as india is concerned and if it implemented most of these parts and is also going to react sharply and deny its hand as has always been the cubes so we have

a parting of the ship spiral and i think you need to step up or do another level in terms of sustaining the isolation campaign because usually in the past you have done this but then again we have left to go off the question there be grammatical and international i think we need to lobby china especially we need to not need the an organization of islamic cooperation members we need to of course use the question countries and their pride and create a regional consensus that this is not acceptable and change parts son's behavior so it's a tall order that we are facing because here is a state that uses non-state actors if you're not sure that it's pretty to get itself by pushing infiltrators who are coming in the name of a holy war against our forces so i think we are actually fixing a system explicitly deep threat that's a long term threat and we should treat it far more seriously than has been the case if in the past and pick it up or in the full spectrum day that says you told us

a little bit about non-state actors that tell us more about this script. that's claimed responsibility for this attack. gentian mom of these nearly our pretty years or longer has been involved in a number of operations against indian forces and indian civilians in indian administered country and your mom and that use a very close to the party standing still does that movement through the military intelligence complex excluder all our muscle does are you hard line preacher some of his you have this region who has had links to afghan taliban and even to our condo in the past and he has not been prosecuted abroad who are part of us are even though he has been demanding for a long time so i think that time has come many in india believe that we must go the line or hand and i don't use the card as an agent are outlawed some of these camps have been the ones before you call them sixteen because there are you know there's

a whole terrorist infrastructure that is in pakistan right under the laws of the military establishments so even though they have said they are non-state actors and we are trying our best the fact is that they cannot carry out such massive attacks like the one in kashmir where we had yesterday you know of three hundred fifty kilograms you know the i improvised devices want to send word and radical at aircar our forces so and we had mass casualties so it was not that smart a mag to be involved in an external force that was there and they've been sponsoring it so i think we need to really. matter by the scruff of the neck now and i think increasingly in india people of vexed with this kind of a vicious cycle i mentioned before and people are looking for some kind of our common and solution to this which would me you know as i've said the full spectrum of our retardants measures at the group process economic as well as i just want to ask you that to to be clear are you advocating military intervention by india and

pakistan as opposed to just revoking trade privileges friend stance which is what india is threatening to do. very quickly you sir you know we learned the hard march because of frankly farmers an exporter less than one billion dollars what off according to india because of the stream relations because they don't have much by their country anyway so we really need to use you know the chinese pressure to control this medicine bomb something the chinese of a lot of leverage in pakistan can be china barcus on economic order go out and of course yes we have done surgical strikes before our military has entered by the senate did agree and carried out their political attacks on not better training camps that are miles on the other side of the border and those will come out of certainly be used again because the last time it happened there was an attack on a good military camp and within eleven years said we will strike back at that time and a place of our choosing and another of them would be fulfilled that and we did that

what you're going to surgical spryte so i think surgical strikes are very much on the cards although it is snowing now it's a really you know blanketed of the border in the himalayas but nonetheless there are marines and these by which our military has been tracking these groups on the other side we can use misalignments there are you know options on the table that i think you're more going to be proportionate to what are the harm they have inflicted on us but it will definitely be exacting revenge but also going beyond that we need to establish as i said the return install mixture of different policies thank you professor that was. from the general school of international affairs thank you two men have been sentenced to death in myanmar for the murder of a prominent lawyer and close adviser to the country's head of government. the men were found guilty of killing kone at yangon airport in twenty seventeen two other men received prison sentences tony was working on reforms aimed at challenging the

military's grip on power and his death was a blow for suchi his government which has promised to bring change after decades of military rule. in an interview with al jazeera venezuela's president has accused the united states of trying to destabilize his country nicholas majoris says the u.s. backed opposition's call to bring in a twenty three is nothing but political theater and except it also criticized your pin nations for supporting u.s. military intervention. i think that some europeans made a mistake when they supported the american war in iraq can you ask any of the coalition countries was it necessary to intervene militarily in iraq and divide it and kill millions of its people i think they also made a mistake when they bombed libya and killed more than one hundred thousand civilians can these errors be corrected i think they made mistakes in their destructive policy approach in syria and making more mistakes with venezuela. this

does not happen and will not happen any material that comes from outside the country must be subject to certain conditions such as inspection and taxes as in all countries where the by. and then there will be no problems the presentation they're attempting on february twenty third will not happen. after conducting a dialogue with the opposition in the dominican republic we agreed to hold the yearly presidential election in the first four months of last year after which part of the opposition withdrew and did not sign the agreement and eventually it was agreed on may twentieth these elections were conducted according to the law and the constitution and with international and local observers ten million voters participated in the elections and eighty six percent of the voters voted for me therefore the interim legislative elections were done and anything else is just whims and attempts to destabilize the country from the white house and.
